The sustainable transformation and the digital transformation of our society and economy are the two major challenges of this decade, which entail a multitude of ecological and social impacts on society. Companies bear a special responsibility in the causes and shaping of these challenges.
How can companies concretely assume responsibility to meet the sustainable challenges in the course of digital transformation? What role does Corporate Digital Responsibility (CDR) play in this? What framework does politics have to set in order to counter the negative ecological challenges of digitalisation, and how can companies be held responsible?
The CDR Initiative of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection () invites you to discuss these and other questions of shaping the double transformation with guests from politics, business and science.
Speakers at the event include:
- Dr. Christiane Rohleder, State Secretary for Consumer Protection,
- Christian Kühn, Parliamentary State Secretary,
- Alexander Birken, Chairman of the Executive Board of the Otto Group
- Lena-Sophie Müller, Executive Director of Initiative D21
- Dr. Nicola Brandt, Director of the OECD Berlin Centre
The reports of the member companies of the CDR Initiative will also be published for the first time at the conference. With the reports, the companies show by means of concrete examples how they implement their voluntary commitment based on the in practice.
We look forward to your participation.
