In order to foster an inclusive culture that values the diverse mix of its employees, Deutsche Bank signed, concurrent with the other DAX companies, a voluntary declaration in 2011 to increase the proportion of female managers substantially by the end of 2018. Deutsche Bank reports annually on progress in gender diversity in its Annual and HR Reports. Following this voluntary commitment to the German Federal Government, the Bank will continue its efforts toward the advancement of women in the workplace under the new gender quota law.
The percentage of women on Deutsche Bank AG's Supervisory Board currently stands at 35%, which means that it already fulfils the new statutory requirement of 30% for listed and co-determined companies. For the supervisory boards of all other Group legal entities that are within scope of the new law, which are not necessarily listed or co-determined, the target of 30% female supervisory board members has been set for these legal entities as well – i.e. also for all those entities where this is not a legal requirement.
For the Management Board of Deutsche Bank AG, the Supervisory Board has set a target of at least one female Management Board member by June 30, 2017. This target remains unchanged for December 31, 2020. There are no female executives on the Management Board of Deutsche Bank at present.
For the management boards or management committees of the other Group companies in scope of the gender quota law, the Bank has set the same target of at least one female management board or management committee member to the extent legally permissible in the respective jurisdiction.
For the top two management levels below the Management Board, Deutsche Bank AG has determined, to the extent legally permissible in the respective jurisdiction, a quota target of 17% for the first level and 21% for the second level by June 30, 2017. These targets increase to 20% and 25% respectively for December 31, 2020.
For the other legal entities in scope of the new law, the targets for the top two management levels have been set, to the extent legally permissible in the respective jurisdiction, as follows:
Between at least 15% and at least 30% by June 30, 2017, depending on the current status and taking into consideration the legal requirement that targets must not be lower than the status quo, if that status represents a proportion of women below 30%.
A 30% target across all those legal entities for December 31, 2020.
