Sustainability approach

Management view and core beliefs

With the new stratgey sustainability is where it belongs: at CEO level

  • Sustainability is a central building block of a strong and, above all, future-proof
    Commerzbank. […] Commerzbank already has many examples that show the
    importance of the topic for our bank" (Dr. Manfred Knof at Capital Markets Day, February 2021)

Sustainability as a business

opportunity

  • Every client is affected by transformation - we offer innovative products and services to support our clients in the best way
  • Customers expect sustainable banking - only if we offer credible products and solutions we will sustain
  • Digitization and sustainability go hand in hand
    - we want to use those synergies

Sustainability has to be approached holistically

  • We understand sustainability across all dimensions
  • Sustainability affects all segments of our bank
    - operations, product offering, risk management

Sustainability needs to be managed consequently

  • Climate and ESG related risks are potential risks for our clients and for us - we identify, monitor and manage these risks consequently
  • Customer relationships which are not sharing our core beliefs will be carefully looked at

Status Quo

  • Since Dr. Manfred Knof took over as CEO in 2021, sustainability is directly within his responsibilities, establishment of Group Sustainability Management
  • Sustainability is besides customer-centricity,digitization and profitability an integral cornerstone of our new strategy program for 2024
  • Commerzbank recognizes sustainability not only as a trend but also as a duty for our customers, society and future generations
  • Currently there are three sustainable finance experts serving on the supervisory board to ensure a holistic anchoring of the topic within management body
