Corporate Responsibility

Corporate Responsibility at Bertelsmann

We take responsibility – for our employees, for the quality of our media, services and educational activities, and for the impact our business operations have on society and the environment. This is an integral part of Bertelsmann’s corporate culture. We take action locally through a decentralized approach, along our value chain that promotes sustainability, and on issues related to the media, services and education business. The facts and figures document our actions and demonstrate the commitment of Bertelsmann and its divisions and companies around the world.
