Women on Wall Street® (WOWST)
An annual conference sponsored by Deutsche Bank's Women on Wall Street Network. WOWS stands at the forefront of efforts to further career and business opportunities for women in the financial industry. The network has sponsored the Women on Wall Street conference since the conference's establishment in 1995. The WOWS conference attracts professional women from numerous Wall Street firms and related industries for an evening of networking, career development and fun. WOWS promotes a community of interest in women's leadership and business opportunities. The WOWS conference is free of charge to all guests. The event is fully-funded by Deutsche Bank and the conference sponsors. For further information on our most recent conference please visit the WOWS website.

Women in European Business (WEB)
The WEB Conference is an annual event sponsored by Deutsche Bank. It is organized and managed by women at Deutsche Bank. The event is part of a global network of conferences which includes WEB Frankfurt, WEB London and Women on Wall Street in New York. The conference is designed to be a platform to network for highly-qualified women and guests in European management. The idea of this forum is to exchange experiences and to discuss selected business topics on a professional basis. Women in European business create awareness of women as leaders and their visibility. Participation for WEB Frankfurt and London is by invitation. For further information please visit the WEB London and WEB Frankfurt websites.

Charta of Diversity (Germany)
The "Charta of Diversity" was launched in December 2006 by Deutsche Bank and three other companies. Its aim is to actively encourage diversity in companies' workforces. Since the initiative started, more than 350 companies and public entities have signed the "Charta of Diversity". Deutsche Bank also supported the initiative by introducing the "Charta of Diversity" to several of its German mid-cap clients.

Signatories undertake to acknowledge and respect the diversity of their employees - regardless of their gender, race, citizenship, ethnic origin, religion or ideology, incapacitation, age, sexual orientation and identity. This is intended to create a corporate culture of mutual respect and secure greater benefit from employees' talents.
