SIBB Charter
for a livable
digital future

text module

We are working toward a digital future that serves people, society, and the planet. We see technology as a creative force—but only through responsibility and cooperation can it serve life and peace.

We stand for a future in which technology strengthens freedom, participation, and quality of life.

We take responsibility for an economy that combines the common good, innovation, and sustainability. A strong, free, and innovative economy is a prerequisite for achieving ecological, social, and societal goals in the long term.

Our Members' Impact

DanLahiri Agboli 

Office Company

“We connect manufacturers, associations, chambers of commerce, policymakers, and other stakeholders, pool their expertise, and make it accessible to small and medium-sized businesses. Through free workshops and other formats, we provide guidance on building business resilience and driving responsible digital transformation.”

Stefan Petersen 

Factor4Solutions GmbH 

“Refrigeration is essential in many sectors—such as data centers, process and medical technology, healthcare, and the chemical and food industries. Our energy management system can reduce the power consumption required for the same cooling capacity by up to 40 percent, improve operational reliability, and make operations more flexible and less dependent on external power suppliers. ”

“For over ten years now, 100 percent of the electricity for our data centers has come from hydropower. The next step is therefore a logical one: we’re harnessing the waste heat generated by the data centers to heat buildings in the surrounding neighborhood. This has reduced our CO2 emissions by 90 percent—in the first winter alone, that amounted to nearly 400 tons! ”

Steffen David
IPB Internet Provider in Berlin GmbH

Carolin Petzold
Interlake

“To ensure that our children have good jobs tomorrow, we are working together with our customers and partners today to strengthen Germany as a business location—so that value creation, expertise, and future prospects are generated here and do not depend entirely on others.”

Armin Berger
3pc GmbH

“We translate complex content into digital applications that provide guidance and enable genuine participation. Projects like the Wahl-O-Mat demonstrate how technology, design, and communication can work together. ”

Ruslan Krohn and Jana Marschallek
TBO Digital GmbH 

“We make technology decisions with care—to ensure that digital services are accessible to everyone, regardless of their vision or hearing. And we do so in a way that ensures they not only work today but can also be further developed in the future.”

Horst Großmann
nanoLogika GmbH 

“For us, digitalization means using our configurator to design processes that work reliably, conserve resources, and reduce the workload on people. The SIBB Charter captures exactly that—technology should enable progress without losing sight of our responsibilities. 
 ”

Susanne Zemke
ECB Beratung GmbH 

“When providing digital transformation consulting, we are guided by the principles and values of the Economy for the Common Good. For example, when benchmarking new software products for our clients, sustainability strategy is always a key selection criterion. ”

Peer Heinlein 

Heinlein Group

“We develop open-source solutions that strengthen digital sovereignty, data protection, and resilient infrastructure in Europe: secure communication and cloud services with clear data sovereignty, transparency, and European operating models are fundamental requirements for us. Especially in light of the growing importance of political resilience, it is clear that we need independent, traceable technologies.”

SIBB Charter

Humans as the measure of digitalization

Technologies should empower people, make them more productive and creative, and make their lives easier. We promote learning and training so that everyone can use and develop technologies safely, competently, and responsibly.

We shape work and education so that everyone can find and fulfill their role in the digital world. We strengthen digital education, creativity, and self-determination—from an early age and for everyone.
We create spaces of trust where diversity, equality, and cooperation are a matter of course.

We are convinced that the more digital the world becomes, the more human it must be.

Economy at the service of life

We stand for an economy that creates value and values performance, personal responsibility, and creativity. We ensure sustainable and innovation-driven growth as a result of entrepreneurial spirit, responsibility, and freedom. We promote innovations that benefit society and respect ecological limits.

We are committed to digital sovereignty, open cooperation, and fair framework conditions that promote entrepreneurial spirit.

We are shaping Berlin-Brandenburg as a space for bold ideas, see ourselves as an inspiring beacon in the heart of Europe, and are committed to technology-neutral, market-based solutions.

Our economy is an ecosystem—human, networked, resilient. Diversity and cooperation make it strong.

Sustainability and ethics as drivers of innovation

We combine digitalization with sustainability in terms of innovation and efficiency. Our technologies are energy-efficient, resource-saving, and value-based.

We use digital tools to enable ecological transformation.
We view progress as a responsibility: every digital step should make the world a better place to live. Ethics and sustainability are at the core of our innovation culture.

Cooperation as a fundamental attitude

We believe in the power of cooperation. 
Trust is our capital—openness is our operating system.

We share knowledge, promote synergies, and create networks that are more than the sum of their parts.

We work across industries, disciplines, and generations to build a future that connects. Successful digital transformation requires partnership-based cooperation between business, politics, administration, science, and society—on an equal footing and with clear responsibilities.

Digitalization can only succeed if we work together—with the courage to engage in dialogue, with trust, and with action.
