Corporate digital responsibility

This chapter discusses Corporate Digital Responsibility (CDR) and presents business ethics as a responsibility-based ethics. It explores the question of whether and to what extent organizations can be held accountable. With digitalization rapidly developing, digital technologies have become a crucial new area for corporate responsibility. CDR is a concept that specifically addresses the responsibility of organizations, including companies and civil society actors, in the digital age. While CDR is related to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), it provides updated and more specific guidelines for structures and processes affected by technological advances, particularly in digital communications infrastructure, as society, business, politics, media, and culture undergo transformation.
