Fundación Bertelsmann
A Pioneering Institution in Civic Responsibility

Since it began its work in Spain in 1995, Fundación Bertelsmann has become a catalysing institution for social reflection and a meeting point for intellectuals, business men and women, politicians and citizens, always seeking to foster the positive progress of Spanish society through a combination of analysis and action.
The initiative, developed by Reinhard Mohn and now led by his wife, Liz Mohn, has shaped a pioneering institution in social development, whose work is based on three major objectives: promoting social change by identifying latent social challenges; preparing society for the future, providing it with the competences that will enable sustainable development; and, lastly, contributing to the promotion of social responsibility, based upon the conviction that community involvement is the essential pillar of social progress.
