Corporate Digital Responsibility Initiative

The aim of the Initiative is to ensure that digital responsibility becomes a normal part of day-to-day business for companies in all sectors. Even more companies should be encouraged to go beyond what is required by law and actively shape the process of digitalisation in a people- and value-oriented way. 

As technological developments progress, shared learning and exchanges are of ever greater importance. The Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection (BMJV) launched the CDR Initiative in May 2018 together with a number of companies. In 2022, the CDR Initiative moved to the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV) due to the change in responsibility for consumer protection. 

Since January 2023, the Office of the CDR Initiative is operated by the partners ConPolicy - Institute for Consumer Policy and concern.
