New office of the CDR Initiative introduces itself
After a successful initial phase, the CDR initiative is now entering the expansion phase. Since January 2023, this next important step has been supported by an office jointly operated by the partners ConPolicy-Institute and concern GmbH.
Over the past five years, the CDR Initiative of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV) has provided a wide range of impulses on how companies can become involved in the digital transformation in order to take better account of consumer concerns (so-called corporate digital responsibility). This was accompanied by numerous activities by the companies participating in the initiative. After a successful initial phase, the CDR initiative is now entering the expansion phase. Since January 2023, this next important step has been supported by an office jointly operated by the partners ConPolicy-Institute and concern GmbH.

The CDR Initiative is an important building block for strengthening consumer trust in digital products and services. The expectations and requirements for the initiative have grown steadily in recent years. I am therefore pleased that the work of the CDR Initiative is now being supported by an office funded by the BMUV. This will enable the initiative to devote itself even more strongly to measures to anchor corporate digital responsibility and make it visible.
Dr. Christiane Rohleder
Secretary of State at the BMUV (*translated from German original)
One of the next goals is to expand the circle of members, to network pioneers in the field of corporate digital responsibility, to promote the exchange of learning and, above all, to expand the sphere of influence with new actions at many levels.
In the current year, the initiative's program includes the publication of a white paper on the topic of disinformation, a new edition of the Impetus for CDR-event series starting in May, a "Digital Data Cleaning" campaign in September, and the CDR Conference in fall.
