Focus Topics
In addition to climate, Commerzbank is also looking at other ecological issues such as biodiversity and the circular economy
Environmental (E)
The “E” refers to environmental protection, including the protection of nature and the climate. The primary focus is often on climate action, mitigating climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It also includes the use of natural resources in a way that safeguards their long-term availability. Responsible use of water and energy plays a particularly important role in this context. Conscious and efficient use helps conserve resources and reduce environmental impacts. Protecting healthy ecosystems is also essential for preserving and promoting biodiversity. This includes protecting endangered animal and plant species as well as restoring damaged ecosystems. The loss of species and habitats reduces biodiversity and has an impact on ecosystem functions and human health.
