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.
