The Movimento Consumatori APS, in collaboration with Sloweb, has launched the Observatorio Consumo Digitale Responsabile (OCDR), an initiative aimed at promoting awareness and responsibility in the consumption of digital technologies. This initiative is part of the “AgEnDa: Assistere, Educare, Diffondere” project, funded by the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy, with the goal of fostering digital transition.

OCDR mission

The OCDR aims to become the first national platform and network dedicated to responsible digital consumption, enabling citizens to discover and utilize digital products and services that have a positive economic, social, and environmental impact. The mission is to make digital consumption more inclusive, sustainable, and conscious, in line with the objectives of the 2030 Agenda.

The Observatory is committed to identifying and giving visibility to profit and non-profit entities engaged in responsible digital consumption. By distributing a questionnaire, it collects data on products and services that promote sustainable technological consumption. The gathered data will be used to inform and raise awareness among citizens, as well as to produce position papers and an annual report on the topic.

The OCDR particularly addresses the most vulnerable consumers, helping them to identify and consciously use the technological services and products that best meet their needs. The Observatory does not judge the entities it monitors but provides a space for reporting unresolved consumer issues and can intervene in cases of unfair commercial practices.

How to join?

To join the OCDR, interested entities must complete a membership application form, available here. Membership is reviewed by Movimento Consumatori APS and Sloweb, which approve the publication of information sheets on responsible digital services.

For more information and to participate in the initiative, visit the OCDR website or contact info@ocdr.it.

With this initiative, Movimento Consumatori APS and Sloweb aim to create a more aware and responsible community in the use of digital technologies, contributing to a more sustainable and inclusive future.
