Deutsche Bank Transition toward a sustainable and climate-neutral economy Non-Financial Report 2022 In-house ecology Key topics in 2022 Energy efficiency and conservation GRI 2-25, 3-3, 302-4 Deutsche Bank continually enhances buildings’ energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption. This is done by using new and more efficient technology, recommissioning equipment, and optimizing building operations. As part of Deutsche Bank’s standard operating procedure, the Bank has always managed energy costs and consumption, and hedge energy with forward purchases which has mitigated most of the recent energy market volatility. Deutsche Bank also changed building management systems to maximize energy efficiency amid low occupancy. This helped reduce energy consumption by 13.3% year-on-year. The EcoPMO conducts an annual in-depth assessment of the contribution of energy-conservation initiatives toward Deutsche Bank’s energy reduction targets. It also shares knowledge and best practices between regions. Deutsche Bank’s offices reduced their energy consumption by a total of 19.4 GWh. About 137 initiatives contributed to this improvement. Some savings are for part of the year, for example, an initiative completed in June delivered six months of savings in 2022; it will deliver 12 months in 2023. The reductions achieved in Deutsche Bank’s consumption includes several types of energy - electricity, district cooling, district heat, and natural gas. Energy and renewable electricity GRI 2-4/25, 302-1/3/4 By purchasing renewable electricity in 29 countries in 2022, altogether, 95.7% of Deutsche Bank’s electricity worldwide was from renewable sources (2021: 94.6%). Deutsche Bank’s certified zero-carbon electricity contracts include Renewable Energy Certificates in the United States and Canada, Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin for selected offices in the United Kingdom, Guarantees of Origin in Germany and 13 other European countries, and International Renewable Energy Certificates in Brazil, China, Hong Kong, India, Mexico, Philippines. Zero-carbon electricity contracts are also maintained in Austria, Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain, and Switzerland.

The previous year is always adjusted to January to December. 2021 total energy consumption data is 6% less than reported in the previous report (709 GWh) mostly due to the use of Q4 2020 data not reflecting the decreased energy use that occurred in Q4 2021 An average uncertainty is +/- 10% for all KPIs. 2 There are several reasons for changes to prior-year figures: updated power grid factors, updates to historical data (such as billing updates), and methodology changes 3 Total energy consumption encompasses all sources used in Scopes 1 and 2: natural gas, liquid fossil fuels (mobile and stationary), renewable and grid electricity, district heating, cooling and steam. Standard joule to kWh conversion factors were used. The only renewable energy source used is electricity and equals 311 GWh. There was no sale of electricity, heating, cooling, or steam. 4 Calculated electricity and heating intensities are used to estimate electricity and heating demand where data are unavailable 5 2 All floor area metrics use an annual average derived from data for the period October 1, 2021, to September 30, 2022 (2.846 million m ) 6 All FTE metrics use an annual average from the period October 1, 2021, to September 30, 2022 (83,454) 64
