Dr. Rainer Dulger, President of the Confederation of German Employers’ Associations
Change is part of the DNA of successful companies. When the world changes, we change with it. That is why we are ready to play our part in ensuring that Germany, too, becomes faster, more innovative and more competitive once again.
BDA Newsletter 20/26:
Performance Creates the Future
In his foreword, Employers' President Rainer Dulger makes clear why Germany now needs political leadership and consistent reforms: greater competitiveness, stable social security systems and an effective state. Against this backdrop, the newsletter examines key current debates, from the exemption of business assets from inheritance tax to labour market and pension reforms and the responsible development of AI skills. Specific positions and figures illustrate the policy choices that, from the BDA’s perspective, need to be made to support investment, employment and growth.
Mission
The BDA ensures that the social partnership anchored in the Basic Law succeeds and that fair working conditions are guaranteed in our country.
Vision
Our goal is to operate in such a way that future generations can also find sufficient employment and create prosperity.
Values
The social market economy underlies our actions and is based on freedom, responsibility, subsidiarity and solidarity.
The voice of German business in Europe
Committed to Europe – in Berlin and Brussels. The Brussels office of our European Affairs Department constitutes together with BDI, the BDI/BDA The German Business Representation - the European voice of the entire German business community. We analyse what the European Union’s latest legislative proposals would mean for German business and jobs. And much more.
