More than a Market 2019 – How German companies are growing roots in China

Summary:

Since 2015, the More than a Market initiative has shown how German companies are increasingly dealing with social challenges in China and how they are reacting beyond their immediate business interests to those challenges, which are either not addressed at all or only inadequately by the state and other local actors. This means, almost by definition, that German companies are bringing social innovations to China. The More than a Market initiative was launched in 2015 by the German Chamber of Commerce in China and the Bertelsmann Stiftung. Its founders had a clear vision: to shine a light on how German companies engage in Chinese society and to support them in developing more and better social projects.
