PUTTING THE HUMAN PERSON BACK AT THE CENTRE OF THE CORPORATE ENTERPRISEThe Ecophilos Foundation wishes to develop its activities by rooting its action in its Judeo-Christian convictions, but with a very open approach. Its stand is apolitical and ecumenical, respecting the values of each person, with mutual benevolence and without any exclusiveness of culture or sex.With this aim in view, within Ecophilos, we share our thoughts with business leaders who refl ect on their responsibilities and roles as well as on the sense of their actions and who aim at restoring the central place of people in the business enterprise.We are convinced that by promoting an authentic "anthropology of the business enterprise", comprehensive refl ection is possible and necessary with respect to the place of the human person in the enterprise. The aim is to enable each individual to recover at work a degree o overall coherence, at both personal and operational levels.
