We strive to build a sustainability-led organization driven by value-based leadership, With empowered employees - embedding environmental and social aspects deeply in our processes.

To be a credible partner for our clients’ transition to net zero, we aim to lead by example. We have set 2030 goals for decarbonizing our own operations and actively managing carbon emissions across our supply chain. Key levers to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions include reducing energy consumption, sourcing more electricity from renewables, reducing business travel, and offsets for residual emissions.

From 2019 to the end of the third quarter of 2024 Deutsche Bank reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 78 %.

You can find more details on our plans to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions in our Transition Plan and the most up to date numbers in our In-house ecology update 2024.

Building a diverse, equitable and inclusive organisation is a continual process. Every policy, practice and programme we put in place gets us closer to meeting our goals. Our most senior leaders are accountable for accelerating the pace of change, particularly with the advancement of women into senior positions. The increase in representation and advancement of under-represented groups is also a key priority. Our long-standing advocacy on behalf of the LGBTQI community remains a source of pride and inspiration for us globally.

We want communities and economies to prosper. Around the world, we apply our global corporate social responsibility strategy to the most relevant local concerns.
We work together with like-minded partners towards this goal. Our people play their part too.
