The forum is more than the sum of its members. Due to the very different perspectives of all participants, it offers the opportunity to have a joint impact on society.
The Misereor Entrepreneurs' Forum aims to provide impetus for society, business and politics . As an example of responsible entrepreneurship that is open to dialogue, it provides motivation and incentive for third parties to work together with Misereor for the common good and development.
The dialogue focuses on social and ethical issues of corporate responsibility such as sustainability as a field of tension between profit-oriented entrepreneurial action and orientation towards the common good.
Lively exchange
The Forum sees itself as a society of "pares inter pares". The members meet once a year. At the symposium, which is aimed at all interested entrepreneurs, economic issues are discussed in the context of global development cooperation.
The forum and its conference are open to participants regardless of religious affiliation.
