Why is oxfam a plc?

Oxfam is not a public limited company (plc); it is a confederation of charitable organizations focused on alleviating global poverty. Oxfam operates as a non-profit entity, relying on donations, grants, and fundraising activities to support its mission. Unlike a plc, which is a for-profit organization that issues shares to the public, Oxfam prioritizes social impact over financial returns. Its governance structure is designed to ensure accountability and transparency in its operations.
