‘The German Sparkassenstiftung is sharing the German Sparkassen idea – and thus 200 years of experience – with the world. Together with our local partners, we are committed to sustainable business practices, the participation of women in business life, support for refugees and digital transformation. These initiatives create stable economic structures in the Global South and enable people to actively participate in economic and social progress.’
