The Swiss Minder Initiative to restrict excessive executive pay and bonus

02/04/2009

The Minder Initiative to restrict excessive executive pay and bonuses gets the support of a large majority of Swiss voters in Feb. 2013. 68% of Swiss voters supported the 24 item Minder Initiative. Swiss voters were influenced by the 72 million franc exit package for Daniel Vassela which was cancelled after popular uproar, the signing package for Axel Weber, new chief at UBS bank, and the clear policy to restrict executive bonus and pay announced by the EU in Feb 2013. The austerity measures after banking crises in Spain, UK, Italy, and other European countries are also influencing public opinion.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
