thumb The Fairness Foundation is a non-commercial limited company (gGmbH) based in Frankfurt on the Main (Germany). It strives to establish fairness in society, economy, politics and culture. It imparts to people in responsible positions some background information and help to support them in keeping fairness in their companies or institutions. The Fairness Foundation does so in that it supplies staff in responsible positions with perspectives, results from research and it also offers qualification courses regarding fairness. ==History== The Fairness Foundation was established in Mai 2000 by Dr. phil. Norbert Copray. He had a basis of 20 years’ experience as a consultant of executives and organisa-tions. Already from his studies (mainly psychology and theology), he had collected some special knowledge about communication, leadership and fair-ness. During the first three years, the Fairness Foundation received an initial financial sup-port from venture philanthropist Norman Rentrop, a German publisher. The Foundation’s board of trustees was founded at the same time. It elected Rupert Lay as its president, an emeritus professor, and Karl-Heinz Brodbeck as his deputy. The Foundation decided it might help its vision of Fairness in society as well as the Foundation’s proceedings if it gained public attention. The “Deutscher Fairness Preis” (German Fairness Prize) was created and awarded for the first time in 2001. In con-nection with the celebration, an International Fairness Forum is held (also for the first time in 2001). In 2004, Prof. Rupert Lay was himself awarded the German Fairness Prize and be-came the board of trustees’ honorary president. He was awarded the Prize in honour of his life’s work. A second important line of the Foundation’s efforts is the creation of certificates and prizes. People who are interested in counselling organisations towards a fair corpo-rate culture can learn some basic principles of what should be observed as a method of intervention. The same applies to people who are interested in coaching people in need (suffering under unfair conditions or treatment). If a person has reached a cer-tain standard of instructions, this is then expressed in a certificate. The first certifi-cates of this kind were awarded in 2003. The fairness coaches or trainers are now the means of how the Fairness Foundation can become active in granting support to people suffering under unfair conditions. The Fairness Foundation is a non-commercial limited company which already implies some degree of public recognition. In Germany, such institutions have to accept a regular check by governmental institutions. There was an additional kind of public recognition in 2003 when Federal President Johannes Rau accepted the patronage of the International Fairness Forum of that year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fairness Foundation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
