Certificate
Global ethics in companies and organizations

Can be acquired as part of master’s programs in economics and social sciences or in doctoral studies

What is this
Certificate for?

With the great freedoms of modernity comes great responsibility. This is especially true in areas where we can make a significant difference, for better or worse, not only for ourselves but also for our fellow human beings, the environment, and future generations—in companies and organizations.

But what does it mean to take responsibility in a world characterized by cultural diversity, ecological threats, and interdependencies across national borders?

Personal and global responsibility can be learned: The Global Ethic Certificate in Companies and Organizations is a learning program offered by the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences in cooperation with the Global Ethic Institute at the University of Tübingen (WEIT).

The courses introduce students of economics and social sciences to the field of ethical language skills.

Whether it’s self-competence, corporate and organizational ethics, or leadership ethics, practical global responsibility is always at the center of reflection.
