Sustainability is one of GIZ’s core competencies, based on decades of global project experience. This expertise is available not only to public sector clients such as the German Government, but also to companies. Together we develop sustainability projects in many topic areas and implement them locally.
How your company can become a GIZ partner
Is your company looking to pursue sustainable investment? We will be happy to support you – with a regional presence, project expertise and suitable partnership models.
Presence in around 120 countries
For companies to be able to work worldwide sustainably, they need to be familiar with the local legal, cultural and political conditions. They also need to have contact with decision-makers and experts.
In all of these areas, we provide expert support and facilitate access. We offer a range of different cooperation formats. The type of cooperation that is best for a company depends on its specific needs, objectives and geographical preferences.
Cooperating with GIZ
Would you like to work with us? We have listed the three most common cooperation formats for you below. These allow companies to work with us effectively – with a fast, tailor-made and local approach.
Cofinancing projects
Does your company support training measures in a particular region, for example? Or would you like to contribute to climate change mitigation by supporting renewable energy? Then you can add these activities to projects implemented by GIZ and support them financially – and thus expand the scope of your own impact. You are also welcome to contribute ideas for new topic areas that can be integrated into projects in a way that benefits both sides.
Direct commissioning
You can commission us directly to carry out a project. We advise you on your project idea, explain the business case for your company and show how it can contribute to sustainable development. We develop implementation strategies that are tailored to your individual needs and take care of project management and monitoring. We can implement this type of cooperation with you flexibly and at short notice.
Development partnerships
If your company wants to invest sustainably in a developing country or an emerging economy and expand its local operations, you can receive financial and technical support through development partnerships. Both partners – companies and GIZ – contribute their expertise. We provide know-how and contacts, and also coordinate measures and public funding. Company contribute technology, capital or expertise, for example.
