Professor Dr Claus Hipp deals in his talk on the subject of “Ethics in Business Life”.

The central message of the talk:

“Only ethical behaviour leads to long-term business success”

He is also of the opinion that the emphasis on individual interests in large companies unfortunately leads to over-regulation by the state that would not be necessary were businesses to act ethically.

The speaker uses the educationalist Pestalozzi as a model in bringing up the young. The cardinal virtues of wisdom, justice, courage and moderation ought to be a companyÂ’s guiding light.
