Abstract: This paper aims to analyze the business policy of Alfred Herrhausen, chairman of the Board of Deutsche Bank between 1985 and 1989, and his activities as a political advisor against the background of his public statements on ethical issues. The result shows that in particular Herrhausen's efforts for a solution of the international sovereign debt crisis were based on moral maxims that anticipated significant parts of modern corporate social responsibility (CSR) concepts.
