People must participate in social, political and economic life regardless of their gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, skin color, disability or other characteristics. Business partnerships that are committed to sustainability and equal participation for all make an important contribution to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.
Together with the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), this year's award honors role models for particularly successful partnerships in the areas of sustainability and equal participation.
All companies that successfully engage in partnerships to implement the 2030 Agenda and assume responsibility in their supply chains are eligible apply for the German Sustainability Award Global Corporate Partnerships.
By completing an online questionnaire, companies based in Germany are eligible to apply by 7 October, 2022, to work with a partner company from the Global South to promote the equal participation of women, girls, and LGBTIQ+ people throughout their supply chains, in their operations, and/or beyond.
The partnership should be committed to sustainable development in line with the 2030 Agenda and contribute to raising awareness among consumers and business partners on how to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
