What we are and what we want Modern companies address the concerns of their stakeholders. These are not only interested in what products are made from and what side effects may result from their use, how the share prices deve- lop or what the chances are of being able to get a job in a company and make a career. People also want to hear about the self-image of companies. They want to know which principles apply, how workers are treated and how the question of social responsibility is defi ned. So what brings us together? What motivates people to work for this company? The soul and spirit of the Axel Springer company is journalism. We serve our readers with indepen- dent and critical information and advice as well as good entertainment. Through our journalistic servi- ces we are making a contribution to the strengthening of freedom and democracy. The prerequisite for this is our economic success. We are working every day to improve our journalistic, technological and commercial competence. We have set ourselves the target of successfully establishing independent journalism in the digital world – and want to be the world‘s leading digital publishing house. Axel Springer is pursuing a strategy of profi table growth. Our majority shareholder safeguards our independence. We are a publicly listed company and, as such, committed to the effi ciency and trans- parency requirements of the capital market. We do not restrict our self-image to economic success alone. For we know that: Profi t is not everything, but without profi t everything is nothing. We want to create value. Material and ethical value. We want to increase the value of our company. In addition to the operating earnings (EBITDA), ear- nings per share is the key indicator against which we measure ourselves and against which we can be measured. At the same time we want to strengthen the values of freedom, democracy, the rule of law, competition, property, human rights, cosmopolitanism and tolerance through our journalistic work. Our publishing house is committed to the values of its founder Axel Springer. He stood fi rst and fore- most for freedom. It is in this sense that the fi ve preambles of the company are defi ned: the consoli- 7 Axel Springer SE, Print Excerpt of the Online Sustainability Report 2013, Source: http://nachhaltigkeit.axelspringer.de Our responsibility as a media company dation of German and European unity, support of the vital rights of the Israeli people, solidarity in the common values of free nations with the United States of America, the defense of the principles of a free social market economy and the rejection of all forms of political totalitarianism.

Bestell-Nr. 05 186 95 160 Seiten, gebunden C 9. Europa steht wie kaum ein anderer Erdteil für Demokratie, Freiheit und soziale Sicherheit. Fundament ist das auf christli- cher Grundlage gewachsene Konzept der Menschenwürde. Doch dieses Europa steuert auf einen Abgrund zu. Seine ange- stammte Bevölkerung könnte sich halbieren, Zugewanderte aus anderen Kulturkreisen, vor allem der islamischen Welt, vielerorts zur Mehrheit werden. Nicht irgendwann, sondern noch zu Lebzeiten der jetzt heranwachsenden Generation. Wenn wir nicht radikal umdenken und umsteuern, stirbt Europa, wie wir es kennen, aus. Peter Stützle zeigt konkret, prak- tisch und unkonventionell, wo wir anpacken könnten. Peter Stützle ist Hörfunkchef im Hauptstadtstudio der Deutschen Welle in Berlin. Er hat Sozialwissenschaften und Geschichte studiert. Politik (k)ein schmutziges Geschäft 3.

Korruption und Steuerkriminalität, Machtpoker und Postengeschacher und das Versagen der Eliten sind Öl ins Feuer von Politikverdrossenheit und Wahlmüdigkeit.
