Throughout the year, Deutsche Bank employees create a positive impact for clients and society. During the Christmas season, their commitment is even stronger: they pack food boxes for low-income families in Japan, donate shoes for children in South Africa, or organise Christmas bazaars and fundraising initiatives to support the less fortunate in communities around the world.
– 3 million South African rand (approx. 200,000 euros) – go towards Deutsche Bank’s Born to Be youth engagement programme, specifically to Empowervate’s Youth Citizen Action Programme (YCAP), which motivates youth to be implementers of positive change and active citizens.
On World Aids Day (Dec 1) Frankfurt colleagues sold more than 1,500 teddy bears, which have become an icon of the initiative since 1980. They stand for a world without prejudice and social exclusion. This year, more than 12,000 euros has been raised for HIV charity AIDS-Hilfe.
Our Spanish colleagues joined the national campaign “Una Sonrisa por Navidad” (A Smile for Christmas), providing Christmas presents to children in need. The children can make wishes via cards hanging on Christmas trees in Spanish branches. Further Christmas tree initiatives for the benefit of disenfranchised people also took place at other locations across Germany and Europe.
In the coming months, our engagement will continue. Colleagues are already looking forward to supporting soup kitchens in a local church in Frankfurt or at the Whitechapel Mission in London.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2018 from the CSR team.
