If you see right-wing extremist statements in your business environment, be the one to speak up! Silence doesn't speak. Whether it's in discussions with customers, at events, or among colleagues, we must stand up and speak out against these slogans. Send a clear signal that such statements won't be tolerated in your company. Make it clear that your premises and your company won't be used as a platform for hatred and agitation.

Instead, focus your advertising efforts on platforms that promote facts and reason, and steer clear of those funded by right-wing entrepreneurs. These platforms may masquerade as "critical voices" or "alternatives to the mainstream press," but by aligning with them, you're inadvertently contributing to the spread of ideologies that run counter to human dignity. So, before you invest your marketing budget, be sure to do your homework and choose platforms that genuinely value facts and freedom of thought. By choosing wisely, you'll be helping to build a better world, one where inhumane ideologies have no place.

Research who you work with and be selective about your partnerships. Choose companies that align with your values and avoid those that support right-wing structures. While not all companies are transparent about their positions, there are often signs you can look for, such as connections to right-wing networks, political statements by management, or support for certain organizations. By being mindful of your business relationships, you can play a significant role in reducing the economic support for right-wing structures.

By fostering an environment where racism, discrimination, and right-wing extremist ideologies have no place, we can create a vibrant and inclusive workplace. Let's make it clear that such attitudes will not be tolerated. This starts with internal guidelines, continues in communication with your team, and is reflected in an active corporate culture. Provide training courses to raise awareness and encourage employees to take a clear stance against right-wing ideologies.

Collaborate with organizations that work against fascism and for democracy – whether through donations, volunteer work, or pro bono services. Every contribution counts, so support campaigns, offer your reach, or have your team participate in educational opportunities. Demonstrate that your company not only communicates values, but also actively contributes to their defense.

Don’t let right-wing groups or parties use your premises for meetings, lectures or events – neither for a fee nor out of supposed neutrality. Find out exactly who wants to use your space and set clear limits in your terms of use. Don't be pressured – you have the domiciliary rights and can decide for yourself who is allowed to use your infrastructure.

Make a conscious effort to be diverse in order to send a clear signal for inclusion, equality and against discrimination. Take active steps to support marginalized groups in your company – whether through diverse teams, fair wages, or targeted promotion. Diversity is not a marketing trend, but an essential component of an open society. Creating an inclusive corporate culture is an important contribution to combating right-wing extremist structures.

Support colleagues and companies that take a stand against the right. Joint commitment strengthens the resistance against fascism. Link to and recommend companies that are clearly committed to democracy. If anti-fascist initiatives or committed companies are attacked or defamed, stand by them – whether through public support, networking or practical help.

Use conversations, events or your network to raise awareness of the danger of right-wing extremist ideologies. Show why it’s important to draw clear boundaries in the business environment too. Many people are not aware of the links between business and right-wing structures – help raise awareness. Every step towards education helps to prevent fascism from becoming more acceptable.
