Fairness Foundation - Priorities

Priorities

The Fairness Foundation’s particular objectives serving the public good are being put to practice in the following areas:

1. information
2. prevention
3. help for those who help themselves
4. leadership competence
5. development of good culture in companies and associations

• joining in the creation of a conscience for fairness in the economy, society, politics, cultural affairs, sports and the media by means of public relations and media work (homepage, data-bank for court sentences, publications, Fairness Partner Seal).

• identifying, overwhelming unfairness, social and personal risks and trying to help preventing them by means of on-site analysis, experts’ opinions, development of perspectives, dialogue groups.

• counselling and accompanying people in responsible positions in the frame of the Foundation’s Fairness Service and thus help securing and establishing the Fairness-Potential among executives and companies or associations in the long run.

• further education through the advancement of professional fairness competence in open seminars, trainings, workshops, coaching sessions, mediation procedures as well as further education especially for certified fairness coaches and fairness trainers or to a fairness scout (Fairness Service, Fairness Academy).

• creating a network of personalities or professionals with a sound orientation to fairness and providing them with current relevant information (Fairness Networks, Fairness Experts Networks, fairnessreport).

In the Fairness Foundation’s memorandum (HRB 6897) it says in §2:

“The Foundation’s objective is the psychological and social counselling and accompanying of people who have drifted in their jobs or in the scope of their vocational activities into psychological affliction (people as meant by §53 section 1 AO), in particular people who are in positions full of responsibility in organisations, companies, associations, institutions, in the econ-omy, in society, politics or cultural affairs, and also the education and public relations measures on behalf of fairness and a fair dealing with one another and against mobbing, malicious gossip and other acts hurting the personality of others as well as the encouragement of fair ways of getting to terms with one another and the cooperation in organisations.”

According to the Foundation, the scope of fairness encompasses:

“The esteem and respect of every human being (…), taking into regard and balancing different interests (…), the mutual validity and observation of the rules that are valid for all people involved and enhancing life (…), the social, personal, ecologic and ethical compatibility of attitudes, decisions and behaviour, of structures, procedures and rules, of products and services.”
