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 />
