The collaboration between national staff and seconded experts makes us a strong and successful organisation. National staff account for 68 per cent of our workforce.
We put a range of measures in place in 2022 to promote women in leadership positions. Equal opportunities within the company and diversity in the workforce are a matter of course at GIZ.
Marcel Nitschman, Head of Section in the Procurement and Contracting Division, explains why GIZ is a pioneer in sustainable procurement.
From office supplies such as pencils and printer ink to medical products and even wind turbines – when it comes to procurement, we take into account both social and sustainability criteria.
With this, we protect human rights and ensure sustainable supply chains.
