Employee development
Commerzbank actively supports its employees in their personal development and provides appropriate offers for this purpose
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”).

Training on sustainability topics
Topics related to sustainability are relevant in many areas of our day-to-day work. That is why, at Commerzbank, we have taken sustainability aspects into account in our corporate strategy since 2020. This includes, among other things, the further development of internal processes, the integration of regulatory requirements, and the expansion of employees’ knowledge and skills.
Basic qualification
The “Basic Sustainability Training” provides the Bank’s employees with an overview of ESG and sustainability topics. Across several learning units, the e-learning course explains the individual ESG dimensions and helps employees understand key terms, interrelationships and requirements.
The training programme is available to employees in Germany and abroad.
Advanced qualification
While the “Basic Sustainability Training” provides foundational knowledge of ESG and sustainability topics, customer advisory and related functions may also require more in-depth knowledge and the ability to apply technical and regulatory requirements confidently.
To meet this need, Commerzbank offers advanced training for sales and sales-related functions. This training deepens specialist knowledge and supports employees in providing clients with appropriate guidance on financing and investment products while complying with risk-related and regulatory requirements. It is also available to interested employees. Because of country-specific topics, this training is only available in German.
