Although the topics of sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) were the focus of public debate prior to the global financial crisis, unfortunately in the last three years they have become marginal topics in the media. Stock market prices, bank rescues and the threat of national insolvencies dominate news reports. This is a great shame since the problems with which politicians, banks, companies and countries as a whole are presently struggling would probably not have arisen at all if the words “sustainability” and “social responsibility” had been put into actual practice. Sustainability and CSR are an important contribution to solving the economic turbulence that we are currently experiencing worldwide. With our first CSR Report we have set ourselves the goal of informing readers of our vision and reporting what we at Reply Deutschland AG and affiliated companies are doing in the areas of ecology, diversity and opportunities for participation, as well as working conditions.
