People & own operations

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 2025 Deutsche Bank reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 76%.

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 Sustainability Statement 2025.

At Deutsche Bank, inclusion goes to the heart of our aspirational culture. It shapes how we work together, how we make decisions, and how we deliver for our clients.

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.
