Press release -
BTS has created a program to teach business and financial acumen in developing nations.
Corporate social responsibility has long been a fundamental part of BTS’s company culture and values. This belief has guided us for more than 25 years, and continues to shape who we are in the world of business literacy and acumen.
Recent global economic instability has emphasized the value of developing institutions for the long term, demonstrating responsibility in the present moment, while balancing a commitment to a sustainable world for future generations. We remain firmly committed to creating lasting social change in the issues that affect us all. And we have much to contribute.
Business Literacy
In partnership with Sparkassenstiftung, BTS has created a program to teach business and financial acumen in developing nations. Through 2014, we held over 400 Micro Business Simulation Seminars in 12 countries which reached more than 10,000 participants.
Participants run a business simulation of an orange juice shop, to learn the economics of buying oranges, pressing them and selling glasses of juice. They acquire a storefront, remodel it as a juice shop, hire people and build the business.
In June 2015, BTS will pilot a new Savings Game aimed at students and families to teach them how to save and invest money over the course of their lives.
