🌱Driven by care – this guiding principle of the WEIG Group was truly tangible at yesterday’s DEG Impulse x German Business Coffee & Kölsch, our Side Event of the #Lateinamerikatag. Together with Andreas Neufeld, CEO of Paraguay’s Grupo Yaguarete – part of the German WEIG-Gruppe – we explored how WEIG has been living transformation and resource efficiency across continents. Since 1978, WEIG has been active in Paraguay, offering sustainable, tailor-made solutions in paper, board and gypsum products. Their long-standing partnership with DEG and DEG Impulse has supported impactful projects since 2017 – from recycling and energy efficiency to growth financing.♻️🔋📈 The event showcased how DEG and DEG Impulse empower German companies to invest abroad responsibly and successfully. It was a great opportunity to connect, learn, and reflect on how collaboration can drive sustainable development. 🙏 A heartfelt thank you to Matthias Fischer, Evelin Hawel and Bernt Hagenlocher for our joint content preparation, to Klaus Helsper, Sabine Moron and Daniel Thomann for their valuable inputs and to Thea Krummen and Kira Junker for their fantastic support in planning and execution. 🤩Y me alegró mucho conocer a Gladys Talavera y Adolfo Javier Benítez González, quienes implementan con gran compromiso los proyectos iniciados junto con DEG Impulse en Paraguay.🌎 LAV - Lateinamerika Verein e.V. , Agentur für Wirtschaft und Entwicklung
