Virtual launch event, 16 February 2021, 5pm
The COVID-19 pandemic, the associated economic crisis, circulating fake news and rising tensions in society are turning people's fundamental values, priorities and expectations upside down and putting trust in societal institutions to an unprecedented test. Has the government been able to maintain or even build on the trust it gained during the pandemic? How did companies and the media in Germany fare in the battle for correct information and solutions to social problems?
At our virtual event in cooperation with the Atlantik-Brücke, Richard Edelman, President & CEO Edelman, and Christiane Schulz, CEO Edelman Germany, revealed which institutions win the trust of people in Germany and worldwide. In the panel discussion, they discussed with Julie Teigland, Managing Partner EY Europe, Middle East, India and Africa, Ernst & Young GmbH, and Sigmar Gabriel, former Federal Foreign Minister; former Vice-Chancellor; Chairman Atlantik-Brücke e.V., how institutions can sustainably meet expectations moving forward. The event was moderated by Dr. David Deißner, Executive Director of Atlantik-Brücke e.V.
