The Association


Since 1998 the charitable Association Wittenberg Center for Global Ethics has continued working on fundamental questions of ethics in modern times. These questions include but are not limited to:

How can we manage the process of globalization at the benefit of all people? How can we support and organize responsible leadership in politics, business and civil society? How can we implement moral principles in daily life even if there is self interest, profit seeking and competition in the global market economy? These questions are analyzed and discussed using the systematic approach of the WCGE during conferences, dialogue processes, workshops and seminars.


Eminent persons from politics, business, academia, religion, civil society as well as corporations and organizations support the Association. The members of the Boards are:
