Alfred Herrhausen Society – The International Forum of Deutsche Bank

Alfred Herrhausen Society

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

The Alfred Herrhausen Society seeks traces of the future in the present and develops these into relevant themes. Together with international partners from science, politics and business, it conceives, plans and organizes discussion forums worldwide, seeking 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.
