GIZ MATERIALITY MATRIX 2017

The vertical axis of the matrix shows the sustainability topics prioritised by GIZ’s stakeholders – in order of increasing importance from bottom to top. The horizontal axis shows the areas prioritised by GIZ – in order of increasing importance from left to right.

Thus, the topics in the top-right-hand corner are those with the greatest overlap between the priorities of GIZ and those of its stakeholders. There are a total of six areas that both GIZ and its stakeholders believe should be treated as priorities: environment and climate protection, human rights, results orientation and lasting effects, partner orientation and empowerment of local partners, communication and transparency, and cooperation.
