Corporate Responsibility
Ensuring social responsibility has always been an integral part of our
corporate culture. As an international media and services company,
Bertelsmann plays an active role in society. We embrace our social
responsibilities in more than 50 countries and at all of our sites and
operations. We practice sustainable, responsible conduct toward
our business environment, our employees, society at large and the
environment. Our commitment to society is closely aligned with our
corporate structure: We practice decentralized, local involvement, in
close proximity to our media and services business.
