Our commitments
Values-driven, cooperatively owned, and part of the digital commons.
We work in digital tools every day. But the relationship is often one-way. We use the systems, but we have no influence over them. Our data leaves us and ends up somewhere else. Collective Tools is an attempt to offer something different. This is what we commit to.
Digital Commons
Collective Tools is built on software that thousands of developers have contributed to. We give back by reporting bugs, taking part in communities, and supporting the projects we build on. Digital infrastructure, managed together. That is the principle behind open source, and that is how we want the internet to work.
Contribute to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
Sustainable energy for all
Our servers run on renewable energy in Europe. We use services without excessive data collection or unnecessary AI use.
Resilient infrastructure and innovation
A sovereign digital infrastructure, independent of any single provider or non-European actors. Open source means it can be audited, improved, and built upon.
Sustainable cities with participatory planning
With tools for citizen dialogue, residents can help shape their municipality. Participation is built into the digital infrastructure.
Accountable and inclusive institutions
Transparent services, open to external review, strengthen trust in public institutions. No black box. The code and data handling can be inspected.
Strengthen the global partnership
Collective Tools is part of Europe's shared transition to a sovereign digital infrastructure, built on collaboration between public and private initiatives.
Cooperative since 2019
Digidem Lab is a cooperatively owned democracy lab and consultancy. We support municipalities and organisations in running inclusive democratic processes with digital tools. As part of our work, we run Collective Tools, a package of secure, open source cloud services. Collective Tools has been around since 2019, delivering digital services to organisations in the USA, Brazil, Japan, and several European countries.
