Sustainability at a glance
Key information on selected sustainability topics assembled compactly
We provide concise factsheets on our sustainability strategy, biodiversity and diversity for analysts, non-governmental organisations, customers and other stakeholders.
Sustainability and ESG are widely used terms. Sustainability describes a forward-looking perspective in which environmental, social and economic aspects are considered over the long term in order to preserve the foundations of life and business for future generations. In the corporate and financial sectors in particular, these aspects are commonly summarized under the term ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance). Sustainability is defined differently across regulatory, scientific, and economic contexts. Regulatory requirements, such as the EU Taxonomy or the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, provide a framework for individual sustainability aspects while leaving room for company-specific specification.
The specific meaning of sustainability for Commerzbank AG’s products, services, and business activities is set out in the ESG Framework. It defines the relevant criteria and distinguishes, in particular, between the Bank’s own business and external client investment and insurance business, including asset management and securities business (“third-party business”).
Our factsheets
Factsheet Sustainability Strategy
Sustainability is the long-term consideration of environmental, social and economic factors to preserve the foundations of life and economic prosperity for future generations.
Since 2020, we have incorporated environmental, social and governance targets and measures into our corporate strategy. Our factsheet explains how Commerzbank addresses these topics.
Factsheet Biodiversity
Biodiversity, or biological diversity, encompasses the entirety of all organisms, ecosystems, and the biological processes operating within them. It includes the genetic diversity of all organisms, species diversity, as well as ecosystem diversity.
The Biodiversity Factsheet summarises the importance of healthy ecosystems and outlines the relevance of biodiversity to Commerzbank.
Factsheet Diversity
To us, inclusion is having a corporate culture that embraces everyone and in which everybody can be themselves – regardless of age, gender, origin, nationality, disability, faith, sexual orientation or gender identity.
At Commerzbank, we live and breathe diversity every day, driven by a sense of responsibility to our employees, our customers, our business partners and to society as a whole. The Diversity Factsheet provides an overview of key figures and information on diversity and inclusion at Commerzbank.
