Education

The increasing digitalisation of the economy brings far-reaching changes for many customers as well as for a large proportion of company employees. Specific education offerings tailored to the needs of various target groups can contribute to preparing people for these changes. To this end, we pursue in particular the following objectives identified by the CDR Initiative:

Informing about opportunities and risks and empowering consumers and employees to take autonomous action

Many people are asking themselves what specific impact the digital development will have on consumers and employees and what opportunities and risks this could entail. Companies that act responsibly should take these uncertainties seriously and take conscious steps to counter them. For this reason, we undertake to provide measures and information to our employees that allow them to prepare for the opportunities and risks of digitalisation in the working environment.

In addition, we aim to provide our customers and interested parties with offerings that allow them with regard to our products and services to gain a differentiated picture of the possible effects of digitalisation on their day-to-day lives as consumers and to enable them to use our digital offerings independently and securely.

Informing about ethical issues of digitalisation

Technical know-how alone is not enough for living in the digital society and dealing with digitalisation. Knowledge about ethical challenges and a value system against which the possibilities and limits of digitalisation can be calibrated are also important to ensure sovereignty in dealing with new technologies. By offering information and engaging in dialogue, we aim to give our employees guidance on the ethical handling of digital technologies and services, and to enter into an exchange with them.
