WHAT HAPPENS AS A RESULT OF THE STAKEHOLDER DIALOGUE AND MATERIALITY MATRIX?

  • Specific ideas and proposals were developed for a total of five thematic blocks at Stakeholder Day. These were communicated to internal and external stakeholders and to the responsible departments at GIZ, where they will now be processed.
  • Many topics in the Materiality Matrix are also relevant to GIZ’s Corporate Strategy. For instance, aspects of sustainable procurement, climate change mitigation and issues affecting personnel are factored into our corporate objectives for 2019.
  • The topics and priorities from the Materiality Matrix provide key points of reference for updating our Corporate Strategy and Sustainability Programme. More information on our Sustainability Programme can be found here.

Documentation of the Stakeholder Dialogue as a whole is available here.
