About the Bertelsmann Stiftung<br />
About the Bertelsmann Stiftung<br />
The Bertelsmann Stiftung is committed to serving<br />
the common good. Its work is based on the<br />
conviction that sound competition <strong>and</strong> civic<br />
engagement are fundamental to ensuring social<br />
change. In accordance with its articles of<br />
incorporation, the Stiftung is a privately operating<br />
foundation that carries out its own projects.<br />
It conducts several programmes addressing<br />
issues in diverse areas, such as education,<br />
health care, economic development <strong>and</strong> civic<br />
participation. The Programme “Business in Society”<br />
promotes the contribution of business<br />
actors to the solution of social challenges (<strong><strong>Co</strong>rporate</strong><br />
<strong>Responsibility</strong>). It pursues three objectives:<br />
The first is to promote framework conditions<br />
for corporate responsibility by addressing<br />
the role of public actors at different levels. The<br />
second is to advance strategic cross-sector alliances<br />
<strong>through</strong> dialogue platforms <strong>and</strong> cooperation<br />
instruments. The third is to enhance transparency<br />
<strong>through</strong> a <strong><strong>Co</strong>rporate</strong> <strong>Responsibility</strong><br />
Index (CRI) that combines the outside-in <strong>and</strong><br />
the inside-out perspectives <strong>and</strong> offers managers<br />
a solid <strong>and</strong> relevant tool for measuring their<br />
company’s CR performance.<br />
