🌍 Supporting the global transformation: Deutsche Bank sets new sustainable and transition finance target Following the announcement of our strategy and financial targets for 2026–2028, we are taking another decisive step toward shaping a sustainable future. 🌱 🎯 Deutsche Bank has set a new cumulative €900 billion sustainable and transition finance target (ex-DWS) for the period from 2020 to the end of 2030, reinforcing our role as a trusted partner in the global transformation. This updated ambition includes €440 billion already achieved in Sustainable Finance and ESG Investments through Q3 2025. 📑 To support this target, we have published our initial Transition Finance Framework, defining clear rules for financing credible net-zero transitions in hard-to-abate sectors. This framework enables us to mobilise capital at scale for technologies that cut emissions and strengthen resilience, helping clients enhance their transition maturity. In addition, we are introducing a nature ambition to facilitate 300 transactions by the end of 2027, supporting biodiversity as well as ecosystem conservation and restoration in alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

A powerful example of leadership with purpose. Deutsche Bank shows how clear targets, structured frameworks, and measurable ambitions can drive sustainable impact at scale. From an executive perspective, this demonstrates that strategic vision combined with operational rigor enables organizations to mobilize capital effectively, support clients’ transitions, and create tangible environmental and societal value.
Deutsche Bank A €900 billion target is a monumental commitment. The Transition Finance Framework is key for credibility. How are you defining and verifying "credible" transition plans for hard-to-abate sectors to ensure capital actively drives decarbonization and isn't used for greenwashing?
Impressive commitment toward sustainable transformation. Great to see finance, innovation, and clear frameworks coming together to accelerate real-world impact,this kind of leadership sets the pace for global transition efforts.
Targets matter, I’ve learned consumers pick cheaper, better, cool... our bottle proves it 💚
Rajathesh Hm Nice move, curious how they'll measure impact... my biodegradable bottles sell for $1.49 🥤
This strategy demonstrates how financial institutions can drive both decarbonization and biodiversity outcomes. Ambitious, measurable, and aligned with global sustainability goals.
