CDR Initiative

Corporate Digital Responsibility (CDR) is the organisational policy of assuming responsibility in the age of digital transformation. It is a decisive factor in shaping the process of digitalisation for the common good and ensuring it serves the best interests of citizens. The aim of the CDR Initiative of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection is to ensure that digital responsibility becomes a normal part of day-to-day business for companies in all sectors. The Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection launched the CDR Initiative in May 2018 together with a number of companies. 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.
