GIZ’s activities are geared towards sustainability, which we see as a combination of social responsibility, ecological balance, political participation and economic capability. Only by combining these factors will current and future generations be able to lead secure and dignified lives.
As a federal enterprise, we are guided by the values enshrined in the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany. We also uphold the principles of the Global Compact. We are thus committed to the fundamental values of protecting human rights, treating employees and their advocacy organisations in a socially responsible way, protecting the environment and the climate, and preventing corruption.
