Associations, non-governmental organizations, and companies around the world are working to bring environmental and social standards to a consistently high global level. We are involved in this network as a member of several organizations. Since 1995, Robert Bosch GmbH has been a member of Transparency International and has been active in DNWE, the German national association of the European Business Ethics Network (EBEN). When econsense was set up by leading German companies in 2000 as a forum for sustainable development, Bosch was a founding member. Since 2004, the Bosch Group has been a part of the United Nations Global Compact. We support the Global Reporting Initiative in our role as an organizational stakeholder, and joined the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) in 2007.
