TEDxMannheim
• February 2018
As CEO and founder of the drugstore chain "dm", Götz Werner is trying to find an alternative way for his company. Despite the high competitive pressure on the markets, his goal is clear: He wants to create an economic environment where his customers and employees are seen and respected as human beings. As a Goethe enthusiast, Dr. Werner took the quote from Faust "Hier bin ich Mensch" ("Here I am Man") as a slogan, but also as a guideline for his company. For him, this means accepting people as individuals and ensuring that the necessary conditions are met to make humanity possible. Accordingly, he is also an advocate of the unconditional basic income.
