Deutsche Bank successfully issues European Green Bond
Deutsche Bank (XETRA: DBKGn.DB / NYSE: DB) has successfully placed its own inaugural European Green Bond (EuGB), raising 500 million euros. The issuance is the first by Deutsche Bank under the new European Green Bond Standard and follows the update of the bank's Sustainable Instruments Framework and the publication of its EuGB Factsheet in January 2026. The bond has a tenor of 4 years, is callable after 3 years, and carries a coupon of 2.875%.
The proceeds from this issuance will be exclusively allocated to refinance assets within the Green Buildings category of Deutsche Bank's Sustainable Instruments Framework. The portfolio consists entirely of residential real estate loans compliant with the EU Taxonomy and are fully allocated to this eligible portfolio at issuance.
“The issuance of our first European Green Bond is a clear demonstration of our commitment to the highest standards of sustainable finance,” said Richard Stewart, Deutsche Bank Group Treasurer. “By aligning with the European Green Bond Standard, we are providing investors with a transparent, high-quality investment opportunity that directly supports the green transition in the real estate sector and underscores our role in financing the transition to a net-zero economy.”
This issuance is underpinned by strong governance and independent validation. Deutsche Bank’s updated Sustainable Instruments Framework and EuGB Factsheet (January 2026) have been reviewed by ISS Corporate – a unit of Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) specializing in sustainability ratings and independent ESG assessments – and obtained a Secondary Party Opinion (SPO) from them.

Forward-looking statements
This release contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts; they include statements about our beliefs and expectations and the assumptions underlying them. These statements are based on plans, estimates and projections as they are currently available to the management of Deutsche Bank. Forward-looking statements therefore speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly any of them in light of new information or future events.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could therefore cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
Such factors include the conditions in the financial markets in Germany, in Europe, in the United States and elsewhere from which we derive a substantial portion of our revenues and in which we hold a substantial portion of our assets, the development of asset prices and market volatility, potential defaults of borrowers or trading counterparties, the implementation of our strategic initiatives, the reliability of our risk management policies, procedures and methods, and other risks referenced in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Such factors are described in detail in our SEC Form 20-F of 13 March 2025 under the heading “Risk Factors”. Copies of this document are readily available upon request or on the investor website.
