After successful collaboration: Zalando leaves the CDR Initiative

Since 2019, the CDR Initiative has been working together with leading companies and the Ministry of Consumer Protection to develop standards, practical examples, productive exchanges and information on all aspects of corporate digital responsibility. It has done this from the outset with the active and extremely valuable support of Zalando. Online retail is an example of how digitalisation has changed and continues to change the lives of consumers. By signing the CDR Code, publishing numerous good examples of responsible digitalisation, always engaging in a very open and productive exchange and, last but not least, with its strong presence in the public dialogue, Zalando has provided very valuable services to the topic of CDR and also to Germany as a business location.

The office of the CDR Initiative would like to express its sincere thanks to Zalando and regrets Zalando's departure from the CDR Initiative. We wish Zalando all the best for the future on its chosen path towards value-adding and value-oriented online retail.
