Unternehmen für Demokratie

Unternehmen für Demokratie

Companies, as “corporate citizens,” are a kind of co-citizens of our state. As such, they share responsibility for a flourishing democratic environment. We call this Corporate Democratic Responsibility. In the “Companies for Democracy” network, participating businesses take this responsibility seriously – for example, through democracy workshops for their apprentices.

Die Schweiz braucht eine demokratische Medien- und Informationsinfrastruktur

Die Schweiz braucht eine demokratische Medien- und Informationsinfrastruktur

Während private Medien unter massivem wirtschaftlichem Druck stehen, fragmentieren soziale Plattformen und künstliche Intelligenz unsere Informationswelten fortlaufend. Damit die Schweizer Demokratie funktionieren kann, braucht sie jedoch eine verlässliche Informationsinfrastruktur. Ohne Institutionen, die einen gemeinsamen Realitätsbezug herstellen, wird es nicht möglich sein, die zugleich kontroversen und konstruktiven Debatten zu führen, die den Kern unserer Demokratie ausmachen.
