Business Ethics at Schools

Wirtschaftsethik an Schulen

In the project "Business Ethics at Schools in the Ruhr Region," students are sensitized to business ethics challenges. The project enables them to understand economic activity and to help shape it in an ethically responsible way. A variety of school-based activities build a bridge between the complex and often incomprehensible economic and business "laws" and moral expectations of a "socially responsible economy. How does business operate in an ethically responsible manner? What role does it play in society's common good? How can conflicts of interest be resolved? What models of corporate social responsibility are economically and socially viable?
