Deutsche Bank Employees and corporate social responsibility Non-Financial Report 2022 Corporate social responsibility Alfred Herrhausen Gesellschaft GRI 203-1 The Alfred Herrhausen Gesellschaft (*), a Berlin-based nongovernmental organization (NGO) supported by Deutsche Bank, is committed to democracy, freedom and progress. In a world marked by disruption, the Alfred Herrhausen Gesellschaft thinks change and helps to shape it responsibly. In 2022, the Alfred Herrhausen Gesellschaft continued its dialog-oriented work and extended it with digital and hybrid discussion formats. Topics included the war in Ukraine and its impact, future scenarios for a digital Europe, and focuses on strengthening the democratic society. Asset Management GRI 203-1 Through its CSR engagement, Asset Management is committed to tackling climate change and addressing social inequalities. In 2022, DWS continued its partnership with the marine conversation organization Healthy Seas and made another donation. The organization tackles the ghost fishing phenomenon responsible for the needless death of marine animals. First focused on Europe where it is head-quartered, Healthy Seas is now able to broaden its scope and expand its salvage missions to Asia Pacific and the USA thanks to DWS’ support. To embrace a holistic approach, DWS employees in EMEA and the USA were given the opportunity to act as ambassadors for the organization to help them spread the word and raise more awareness about the negative impact on lost or abandoned fishing nets. As a further contribution to ocean conservation, since 2021 DWS has been supporting a multi-year World Wild Fund for Nature project along the Mesoamerican Reef near Belize. The goal of this initiative is to restore and protect the coral reef and mangroves ecosystems so that they continue to provide sustainable livelihoods for local coastal communities. During this time, important project milestones have been achieved including the development of a “Belize Mangrove Alliance” network and the creation of five coral gardens. Furthermore, staff from the authorities and local NGOs were trained to monitor the development and health of the corals. Employee volunteering participation rates increased from 9% in 2021 to 25% in 2022 partly because of the easing of COVID- 19 restrictions. Volunteering ranged from activities to protect and preserve the environment to providing support for social institutions. In terms of Ukraine aid, DWS also made two separate donations of € 250,000 and € 70,000 to provide both humanitarian aid and psychological support to the people of Ukraine. In addition, the bank also made donations to flood affected areas of Pakistan and those affected by the hunger crisis in the Horn of Africa. 123
