Shaping globalization: scaling up voluntary social and ecological standards

Poverty, pollution and working conditions: the opportunities
and challenges of today's economic globalisation are closely connected. Opportunities to improve living conditions, raise educational standards and establish better health care through participation in global supply chains are certainly there. Yet at
the same time, while we are all competing globally, there is an equal risk of joining a race to the bottom when it comes to the environment and social conditions. The work of German Development Policy is dedicated to supporting a just and socially equitable
process of globalisation.
