Environmental Steering Committee

The ESC is responsible for coordinating the vastly increased number of environmental initiatives at Deutsche Bank and for exploiting synergies.

All Group Divisions involved

Managers of all Group Divisions, such as Global Banking, Global Markets, Asset Management, Private & Business Clients (PBC), Private Wealth Management (PWM) and Corporate Investments as well as the infrastructure divisions Risk Management, Communications, Group Sustainability, Compliance, DB Research, and Corporate Real Estate & Services (CRES) are represented in this committee.

The recommendations of the committee are geared to creating greater value for our shareholders as well as serving the interests of our clients, our employees, and the public at large.

2008 – A successful and groundbreaking year

In many respects, 2008 was a successful and groundbreaking year in the area of sustainability.

Driven by the ESC and our vision of becoming the world’s leading company on the climate protection front, our commitment has already led to some notable successes.

Example: The decision by the Management Board of Deutsche Bank to have global business operations carbon-neutral from 2013 onwards.
