A new brochure explains how and why. Gerhard Zeiler Luxembourg - 9 April 2009 Millions of viewers tune in to one of RTL Group’s channels every day. Television enter- tains and informs. Sometimes it demands attention, depicts history in an understandable way and focuses emotions. “Television is the lead medium and will be for a long time to come. This popularity of television comes with a great responsibility,” says Gerhard Zeiler, CEO of RTL Group. “We believe it is vital to ensure that our output carries positive and sup- portive messages. Our broadcasters and pro- gramme managers take this responsibility very seriously.” The new brochure How RTL Group pays back to society examines different examples of social activities throughout the group. “No one can do everything, but everyone can do some- thing,” Gerhard Zeiler said at the first ‘environMINDday’ at RTL Group’s premises in November 2008. The same is true for all social activities: even if a channel organises just one small event, the combination of all events builds a huge sum of awareness, help and funds – bringing a result that can even exceed the requirements.
