Bertelsmann about the Brexit
Yesterday, the British electorate decided in a referendum to leave the European Union.
Bertelsmann acknowledges with regret the British electorate’s decision against their country remaining in the European Union. As an international company with a strong presence in the U.K. as elsewhere, Britain’s impending exit from the EU raises political and economic uncertainties for us all. Irrespective of the Brexit decision, the U.K., as our fourth-largest market, remains very important to us.
Bertelsmann generates revenues of around EUR 1.7 billion with 5,500 employees in the UK, and will continue to invest in its businesses there. At the same time, as an international media services and education company, Bertelsmann is committed to preserving a shared European cultural space and common European standards, such as copyright laws.
