Deutsche Gesellschaft Fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit

Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, an "Other business services" company headquartered in Germany, reported approximately 342,700 kg CO2e in total Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions for 2024. This includes about 14,355 kg CO2e from Scope 1 (direct emissions), approximately 238,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy, market-based), and around 296,975 kg CO2e from Scope 3 (value chain emissions). A significant portion of their Scope 3 emissions stems from purchased goods and services (approximately 184,218 kg CO2e) and business travel (approximately 89,969 kg CO2e).

GIZ has set several ambitious climate commitments. The company has near-term Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 46.2% by 2030 from a 2019 base year. Additionally, GIZ aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, fuel- and energy-related activities, and business travel by 27.5% within the same timeframe. For the long term, GIZ is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050. This includes reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90.0% by 2050 from a 2019 base year, and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, fuel- and energy-related activities, and business travel also by 90.0% by 2050.

In an earlier Environmental Programme (2016-2020), GIZ aimed to reduce Scope 1 GHG emissions by 2% per capita per year in the field and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 2.5% in Germany.
