Organization schema is structured data that describes an organization, such as its name, URL, logo and contact details. Google uses it to understand administrative details and to tell the organization apart from similar ones.

Which properties does Google want?
Google documents no required properties and asks site owners to add those that apply. Recommended ones include name, url, logo, sameAs, address, contactPoint, legalName and foundingDate.
A logo must be at least 112x112 pixels, crawlable and indexable, in a format Google Images supports, and it should look right on a white background.
Google recommends placing the markup on the home page or on a single page about the organization, such as an about page. It does not need to appear on every page.
Example
HTML
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "Organization",
"name": "Example Corp",
"url": "https://example.com/",
"logo": "https://example.com/logo.png",
"sameAs": ["https://www.linkedin.com/company/example"]
}
</script>
