Digital Corporate Responsibility and Civil Society
Across the commercial sector, organisations of all sizes are increasingly talking about Digital Corporate Responsibility (DCR) or Digital Responsibility. It covers a wide range of issues, from data privacy and cybersecurity to ethical use of technology, digital inclusion and accessibility, environmental impact, transparency, and tackling digital harm.
But what does DCR mean for civil society?
About the discussion
The next edition of Digital Dialogues brings together civil society and civic tech practitioners to explore how Digital Corporate Responsibility applies to non-profit organisations and social justice work.
Is DCR already embedded in civil society values and practices?
Or do CSOs need clearer, more deliberate strategies to guide how they use and govern digital technologies?
Our panel will unpack these questions by looking at the real-world legal, technical, and ethical challenges organisations face, from limited resources and complex regulatory environments to power imbalances in the tech sector. The discussion will cover both compliance requirements and more ambitious, values-driven approaches to digital responsibility.
Why attend?
This session is especially relevant for civil society and civic tech practitioners who want to move beyond buzzwords and engage with DCR as a practical framework. We’ll explore how embedding Digital Corporate Responsibility into everyday operations can help organisations protect their mission, build trust with stakeholders, meet regulatory expectations, and lead responsibly in an increasingly digital world.
Join us for a thoughtful, practical conversation on how civil society can shape a more responsible digital future.
