Deutsche Bank Transition toward a sustainable and climate-neutral economy Non-Financial Report 2022 In-house ecology In-house ecology – On target to reduce energy consumption by 20% by 2025 – 95.7% of all electricity from renewable sources GRI 3-3 As part of Deutsche Bank’s commitment to being a responsible corporate citizen, the Group manages and, where possible, minimizes the actual negative environmental impact of business operations, such as the energy and resources used in offices and carbon emissions from business travel. This is done by reducing energy consumption and using other resources as efficiently as possible, buying renewable electricity, and offsetting the remaining emissions. After engaging with stakeholders internally, action was taken to improve the quality of supply chain emissions data. To start to reduce the environmental impact of suppliers, the bank joined the CDP Supply Chain where members can engage with suppliers, identify risks and opportunities, and share carbon emissions data. In 2022 Deutsche Bank requested its largest 147 vendors respond to the CDP climate change questionnaire to more fully understand and reduce the emissions associated with purchased goods and services. Of the 147 suppliers, 92 responded. In 2023 it is planned to expand this number to the largest 300 suppliers. The planned measure of effectiveness of this action is more suppliers disclosing emissions data to the CDP in 2023. Finally, Deutsche Bank strives to use water and paper responsibly, reduce the amount of waste generated, and re-use and recycle as much as possible. Governance GRI 2-13, 3-3 Deutsche Bank’s governance framework for collecting data on, quantifying, and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is based on ISO 14064, an internationally recognized standard for GHG reporting. In addition, the bank’s energy management system in Germany is certified to ISO 50001; this includes monitoring progress toward energy and cost reduction targets on a monthly and annual basis. Deutsche Bank complies with the European Energy Directive in the 20 EU countries where it operates, and base conservation efforts on the respective national energy audit requirements. The Eco-Performance Management Office (EcoPMO) in the Global Real Estate function oversees energy and resource conservation in offices and other facilities. It defines criteria and responsibilities for how energy conservation initiatives are evaluated and approved. Facility management teams complete an energy initiative assessment and implement energy and water efficiency projects; the EcoPMO measures and verifies outcomes. In addition, progress toward targets is continually monitored by collecting data on energy use, water use, and waste at Deutsche Bank’s buildings. This information is collated in monthly regional energy reports, which are reviewed by regional and global division managers, and quarterly reviews are held with the Chief Sustainability Officer to inform about In-house ecology topics and performance against targets who in turn briefs the management board. Deutsche Bank’s Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions are calculated based on the reporting boundary of the GHG Protocol’s operational control approach. This report is the second consecutive year in which the relevant categories 1 to 14 of Deutsche Bank’s Scope 3 GHG emissions are disclosed. – Scope 1: Direct emissions from on-site and mobile combustion (liquid/gaseous fossil fuels, owned and leased vehicles, and refrigerant leakage from cooling equipment) – Scope 2: Indirect emissions from delivered energy (electricity, district heating, steam, and chilled water) – Scope 3: Relevant categories 1 to 14 (excluding investments or financed emissions). 61
