¿What is ACDE?

The “Asociación Cristiana de Dirigentes de Empresa” (ACDE) or “Christian Association of Business Executives” is an International Association with a clear goal: to promote, in the light of the Christian Social Teachings, a vision and a deployment of Corporate Social Responsibility serving people and the common good of the World.

Mission

To help business leaders to be consistent with their entrepreneurial vocation and Christian faith.


Vision


The activities carried out by ACDE are focused on collaborating with business leaders in developing business cultures based on respect, participation and promotion of the individuals, and on the business as a community of work and of individuals aiming at the common good.


Values
ACDE focuses on the businessperson as an individual, encouraging his/her social and moral responsibility, and working side-by-side with this individual to achieve consistency of principles and conduct, so that the individual undertakes the role of an entrepreneur and a social leader in its full dimension.

In this manner, business leaders –through their actions- can act as bridges with other individuals of their own organizations and thus contribute towards a positive transformation in the business world, through a more humane and enriching vision of work.
