This significant decline is predominantly explained by three main drivers: (i) total loan commitments decreased from € 10.7 billion to € 9.3 billion due to exit of Russia clients following the war in Ukraine and selected larger reductions to key clients which led to financed emissions reducing by 5 MtCO /y; (ii) client emission factors (tCO /€m) falling 2 2 due to EVIC or total assets rising substantially from 2020 to 2021 which led to financed emissions reducing by 2.8 MtCO /y; 2 and (iii) loan exposure FX translation effects from 2020 to 2021 predominantly driven by U.S. dollar appreciating versus the euro which led to financed emissions increasing by 1.0 MtCO /y. 2 The bank expects the metric to remain volatile due to factors outside of its control such as the evolution of clients’ EVIC or total assets which are key inputs into the calculation of clients’ Scope 3 emission factors. Power Generation: The Scope 1 physical emission intensity of Deutsche Bank’s Power Generation portfolio was 354 kgCO2e/MWh as of year end 2022, 1.6% lower year-on-year. The reduction came despite loan commitments increasing year-on-year from € 9.7 billion to € 10.4 billion as client liquidity needs increased due to the European energy crisis and reflects a general improvement in the average physical emissions intensity of the portfolio. The bank’s data provider Asset Impact (formerly known as Asset Resolution) introduced significant improvements to their Power Generation methodology resulting in more accurate representation of asset level information of Deutsche Bank’s clients. In order to allow for meaningful year-on-year comparison, Deutsche Bank has decided to restate its baseline metric which led to an increase of 39 kgCO e/MWh. 2 Automotive (Light duty): The Scope 3 physical emission intensity of Deutsche Bank’s Automotive portfolio was 188 gCO2/vkm as of year end 2022, 1.4% lower year-on-year. Loan commitments increased slightly from € 7.5 billion to € 7.7 billion. Steel: The Scope 1 and 2 physical emission intensity of Deutsche Bank’s Steel portfolio was 1,495 kgCO e/ t as of year end 2 2022, falling 1.6% year-on-year. The decline in emissions intensity was less pronounced than the 7.4% drop in loan commitments due to the portfolio weighted approach followed by the PACTA methodology. The data provider Asset Impact also introduced significant improvement to their Steel methodologies and as such the bank has decided to restate its baseline estimate which led to an increase of 336 kgCO e/ t steel allowing for fairer year-on-year 2 comparison. 48
