Corporate Responsibility
Ronald Lauder, founder member and Chairman of Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (CME), is a businessman, civic leader, philanthropist, and art collector. In the early 1990s he had a bold vision for the future of Central and Eastern Europe. He imagined a better world where freedom of speech and thought would govern people's lives; where a consumer economy would power economic growth and raise their standard of living.
Today, Ronald Lauder's vision and philosophy is still at the heart of the business and all of CME's stations are making both economic and social contributions to their communities.
CME places an emphasis on independent news and locally produced programming, ensuring schedules are tailored to the audience of each station. CME's strategy is to work closely with local partners who are empowered to use their knowledge and expertise to achieve the right balance of programming and create successful businesses.
The success of CME's stations enables them to reach out to a wide audience to raise the profile of many community and charitable events and campaigns.
