Deg

We offer financing, advice and support to private sector enterprises operating in developing and emerging-market countries. As an experienced partner, we support our customers with in-depth market knowledge, impact and climate expertise and our international network to advance forward-looking investments. Our work benefits people, businesses and countries: our customers create decent jobs and local income and are actively committed to staff development. They increase economic productivity, create sustainable local value, support technology and know-how transfer. With the generated local income, they contribute to government revenues and foreign exchange earnings – funds that are needed for investments in e.g. infrastructure, education, health. DEG's staff are fully committed to their work. A blend of knowledge, dedication, collegial spirit, tolerance and openness are a few of the characteristics shared by them. Our ambitious goals are visible in our day-to-day work with our customers and partners, and motivate our employees to make their contribution to sustainable, effective development cooperation, with positive effects for all involved. We offer attractive career prospects in an international environment – whether at DEG’s headquarters in Cologne or one of our other 17 locations worldwide. Enhancing the skills of our employees is an important goal of our HR policy which includes a comprehensive internal training programme, supplemented by individual measures. We also support them to balance work and family commitments. Since 2012 DEG has held the "work and family audit" certificate from the Hertie foundation for its efforts in this area. DEG is also committed to non-discriminatory remuneration and was awarded two external fair pay certificates. DEG is also a signatory to the “Diversity Charta”, Germany's largest employer initiative to promote diversity in the world of work. Publication Details:
