Introduction of Social Standards in Manufacturing and Supply Companies:

• GTZ collaborated with Faber-Castell AG and IG Metall, the German metalworkers’ union, to

introduce a “social charter” based on standards developed by the ILO for all Faber-Castell’s Indian suppliers.

Rural Electrification and Energy Services through Biomass:

• Working with three firms, EnviTec Biogas GmbH, Malavalli Power Plant Pvt. Ldt. and

Grameena Abhivrudhi Mandali, GTZ is developing a unique and sustainable model of rural electrification on the basis of large-scale biomass power generation and modular designed biomass power plants in Karnataka. The Government of India has mandated that this be replicated in 100 additional projects throughout India.

In Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), companies profit from GTZ’s contacts, experience and global network of

• experts. At the same time, private sector involvement helps

to achieve development objectives in a sustainable manner by creating jobs and introducing technological innovation while sharing contributions and risks.
