On behalf of the 23rd EBS Symposium we are proud to welcome the chairman of the executive board of Robert Bosch GmbH, Mr. Franz Fehrenbach, as our this year’s patron.
In times of globalization, affected by political as well as social changes, the return to traditional and ethical values becomes increasingly important in order to successfully lead an internationally operating company. Entrepreneurs and managers do not solely serve as a role model – neither are they only jointly responsible for society – but they also cannot escape the confrontation with the value orientation of their own actions.
The Robert Bosch GmbH stands out as a leader in value-orientated and sustainable business management and competition culture (highest rank in survey “Imageprofile” by Manager Magazin in the category sustainable business).
Through his position as chairman of the Robert Bosch GmbH and also being one of the ten most influential managers in Germany (Wirtschaftswoche 12/2011), Mr. Fehrenbach plays an important role regarding corporate governance based on values and ethical responsibilities.
Having received the award “Eco-Manager of the Year 2006”, Mr. Fehrenbach represents a great enrichment to the 23rd EBS Symposium. Due to Mr. Fehrenbach’s long-standing involvement in economic activities – and his thereby gained experience – we are convinced that Mr. Fehrenbach will be able to give the participants of this year’s Symposium an excellent and interesting insight into the world of an economy aspiring towards social values and sustainability.
