Dr. Johannes Bohnen presented Corporate Political Responsibility (CPR) in the WDR 5 discussion series "Politikum." The title of the episode is "Entrepreneurs with a Political Stance." Politics - or more precisely, liberal democracy - is a business case for companies. Freedom, openness, and diversity of opinion help in the competition for the best talents and ideas. The rule of law creates planning security and protects against arbitrariness.
Companies should defend these achievements in their interest. A recent example: Before the European elections, many large corporations called for democratic forces to be strengthened or offered their employees opportunities for political education.
