Verantwortung und Engagement von Unternehmen in der Internationalen Zusammenarbeit

Great importance is attached to cooperation with the private sector at many levels of international development policy. In terms of official development cooperation in Germany too, companies are considered important partners for achieving global development goals. Civil society activists evaluate cooperation with private companies differently: on the one hand, they see the opportunity to mobilise additional potential; on the other hand, it is feared that companies may only use their involvement as a marketing tool to improve their image. German companies are also required to act responsibly along the entire value chain all over the world.
