At the beginning of September, the Sustainable Digitization Community of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection hosted its first Community Convention, with the title 'Shaping Digitalization!' in Berlin.
The program was opened by a speech from Federal Minister Steffi Lemke, followed by a presentation from AlgorithmWatch. This was followed by a panel discussion that looked at the practical perspective and addressed the hurdles and possible solutions for sustainable online consumption. ConPolicy was represented in the discussion by project manager Dr. Sara Elisa Kettner, who particularly addressed findings from the ZuSiNa research project and, among other things, introduced solutions for the implementation of accessible sustainability information in online shops. In addition, Maike Janßen, Federal Environment Agency, Daniel Steffens, Zalando and Marc Engelmann, Boomerang participated in the panel discussion.
