Business ethics addresses the fundamental conflict between corporate success and the morals of a company and helps to overcome this conflict by promoting socially and ecologically oriented activities. The focus is on values and behaviors that significantly strengthen the company’s corporate value and innovative strength. To convey these to the EBS community and its students, we have been organizing service learning programs at EBS University since 2010. The Center for Business Ethics was founded by Prof. Dr. Hartmut Kreikebaum (1934 - 2016) and Dr. phil.Marcus Kreikebaum.

About us
We want to enable our stakeholders to get related to each other respectfully in order to campaign for more equitably, equal opportunities and a sustainable future by means of long-term projects. We educate our students to become socially, culturally and politically committed entrepreneurs by teaching them the attitude and capabilities to serve the general interest and to lead and act accordingly.
We offer our students practical training in ethics (Service Learning) which develops their cognitive, linguistic, social and intercultural competencies in many dimensions. This includes both Community Service Learning (Do it!) and professional Service Learning (individual/Educare projects.
