Voluntary green initiatives on company properties
GIZ supports voluntary employee-led initiatives for biodiversity at offices worldwide. By 2025, biodiversity strategies with action plans will cover owned properties in Germany; rented premises are reviewed next. Combined with paper reduction (65% in Germany, 40% abroad) and longer IT device lifecycles with repair and recycling.
What you can do
- Start a green team at your workplace: bird boxes, native planting, or a compost corner in the staff garden
- Facilities staff: audit one outdoor area for pollinator-friendly planting this season
- Neighbours of large campuses: propose a joint biodiversity walk with employee volunteers
How it works
Awareness campaigns and knowledge-sharing connect staff across country offices; local initiatives feed into corporate biodiversity action plans.
Why it matters
Corporate campuses can be micro-reserves when staff, not only consultants, own the planting plan.
