Responsibility toward our employees, society, and the environment shapes our corporate culture. Our goal is to align our business activities with the economic, social, and environmental interests of our stakeholders.
The Bertelsmann Essentials, our core values, state: “We're mindful of the impact we have on society and environment, and we seek to make a positive difference.” Guided by this conviction, we continuously develop our corporate responsibility strategy.
Our internal guidelines provide orientation for responsible conduct at Bertelsmann and define key values and standards in our dealings with employees, society and the environment.
Through dialogue with organizations and initiatives that share our values and objectives, we gain new perspectives and strengthen our commitment to responsible entrepreneurship.
