What does it actually mean to take responsibility for the digital products we build?
When companies take digital responsibility seriously, they become more trustworthy, their products more resilient, and their teams better prepared to build things that actually work for the full range of people who use them.
Most teams already care about doing the right thing. The harder part is turning that intent into everyday decisions across design, data, platforms, and governance. Responsibility rarely sits in one place. It shows up in small choices, trade-offs, and blind spots across the entire product lifecycle.
Antonia Fedder works with corporate digital responsibility, inclusive UX, and sustainable digital design
In her work, Antonia Fedder breaks corporate digital responsibility down into seven practical aspects. Together, they offer a way to think more clearly about the impact of digital work, from how we handle data to how platforms shape behaviour, and who is accountable when things go wrong.
This member call creates space to explore these aspects together, using them as a shared lens for reflecting on our own work and decisions.
Antonia Fedder works at the intersection of inclusive UX, accessibility, and sustainable digital design. She brings a clear and practical perspective on how responsibility plays out in real products and organisations, and how teams can move from good intentions to meaningful action.
What we’ll explore
Data ethics and privacy: what happens to the data we collect, and how control and consent are designed in
Algorithmic accountability: how automated decisions shape outcomes and who is responsible when they fail
Accessibility and inclusive design: whether what we build actually works for everyone, in practice
Environmental impact: the often invisible physical footprint of digital products
Transparency and trust: designing systems that are honest and understandable by default
Safety and harm prevention: anticipating misuse and protecting people through design and moderation
Platform responsibility: how platform decisions influence behaviour, content, and society
