Details of the Division and Team:
Deutsche Bank is the leading global bank with strong European roots. We’re driving growth through our strong client franchise. Against a backdrop of increasing globalization in the world economy, Deutsche Bank is very well-positioned, with significant regional diversification and substantial revenue streams from all the major regions of the world. We serve our clients’ real economic needs in commercial banking, investment banking and private banking. We are investing heavily in digital technologies, prioritizing long term success over short-term gains, and serving society with ambition and integrity.
Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) is included in the top-4 strategic priorities of the group-wide transformational strategy of Deutsche Bank (DB). The increasing trade and capital flows between Asia Pacific (APAC) and Middle East and Africa (MEA) are giving rise to new and growing business opportunities. The transition of APAC and MEA towards sustainable practices has enhanced the need for ESG transaction models, products and solutions that are customized to support on-the-ground realities in these regions. ESG transactions in APAC and MEA must therefore present practical solutions while meeting international ESG standards.
As a European bank with global presence and established credentials in the global ESG market, DB is well positioned to lead growth of APAC and MEA ESG market. We established our ESG team in Singapore in June 2020 with the appointment of Managing Director and Head of ESG in Asia Pacific. The establishment of our ESG Center of Excellence (COE) in April 2021 was an important and strategic step in the implementation of our Group ESG strategy. Our ESG strategy is client-centric (not product centric), focusing on banking solutions to support the sustainability commitments of our clients. The COE works with and offers DB clients a full suite of sustainable finance products and services from all business divisions - Investment Bank, Corporate Bank and Private Bank.
