CDR in practice: Launch of the CDR-development partnerships

25. Aug 2025 - Announcement, Cooperation

With the CDR development partnership, we are embarking, independent of the current state of CDR implementation within the partner organisations, on a journey to further develop digital responsibility as a competitive factor.

Since spring 2025, the CDR Initiative has been offering organisations the opportunity to work together with the CDR Initiative on the concrete implementation of Corporate Digital Responsibility (CDR) as part of the CDR Development Partnership.

The CDR Development Partnership was launched by:

Background information

Based on our CDR-Quick-Check and further developed in a workshop, we were able to work with our partners to identify their current strengths in the area of digital responsibility and prioritise specific topics and measures for further progress that are aligned with their business and social goals. And above all, we were able to learn from each other!

Findings from the development partnerships to date:

  • Organisations are already implementing CDR in many individual measures. A holistic perspective on the topic provides additional added value.
  • Those who get started quickly recognise the potential of CDR. This ranges from specific process optimisations to strengthening organisational strategy.
  • The biggest challenge? CDR affects (almost) all business areas. It is therefore important to approach the topic step by step and not to overburden yourself.

Our CDR-Quick-Check has proven to be an easy way to get started. Our CDR maturity model helps in the development of a holistic CDR strategy.
