Deutsche Bank was one of the main initiators and first signatories of the “Code of Responsible Conduct for Business”, launched in November 2010 of 21 German companies. With this code, we intend to integrate social responsibility even more closely in our business processes and duly consider it in all our decisions.
Corporate Social Responsibility means more to us than donating money: we want to build social capital – for our own good. In the year under review, the bank and its staff took part in a wide range of social projects both in Germany and abroad. We invested nearly € 100 million – more than ever – in educational, social, art and music projects, in addition to our employee volunteering activities.
This CSR Report documents our activities as a good corporate citizen with a presence in 74 countries.
