Alfred Herrhausen Gesellschaft - Das internationale Forum der Deutschen Bank - About us

The non-profit Alfred Herrhausen Society is the international forum of Deutsche Bank. Its work focuses on new forms of governance as a response to the challenges of the 21st century.

The Alfred Herrhausen Society seeks traces of the future in the present, and conceptualises relevant themes for analysis and debate. It works with international partners across a range of fields, including policy, academia and business, to organise forums for discussion worldwide. It forges international networks and builds temporary institutions to help to find better solutions to global challenges. It targets future decision-makers, but also attempts to make its work accessible to a wide public audience.

The society is dedicated to the work of Alfred Herrhausen, former spokesman of the Deutsche Bank board of directors, who advocated the idea of corporate social responsibility in an exemplary manner until his assassination by terrorists in 1989.

The Alfred Herrhausen Society is an expression of Deutsche Bank‘s worldwide commitment to civil society.
