Deutsche Bank Employees and corporate social responsibility Non-Financial Report 2022 Art, culture and sports Art, culture and sports – Longstanding partnerships with inspiring talents – 20 years of empowering talents: celebrating the anniversary of Berliner Philharmoniker’s educational program GRI 3-3, 203-1 Deutsche Bank’s commitment to art, culture and sports is an investment in the future of society. This commitment encompasses support for promising projects and talented individuals as well as efforts to broaden accessibility. Deutsche Bank’s Art & Culture policy defines the selection and approval process for art and culture projects group-wide. The purpose of the global art program is to make art accessible. For more than 40 years, Deutsche Bank has enabled its employees, clients, and the general public to experience contemporary art by showing works from the collection at more than 600 Deutsche Bank offices and branches, the PalaisPopulaire (which is explained below), and exhibitions worldwide and by conducting educational programs. LuYang was the first Chinese artist awarded “Artist of the Year”. Deutsche Bank also partners with museums, art fairs, and other institutions to reward and encourage emerging artists. Similarly, Deutsche Bank has been the Global Lead Partner of Frieze Art Fair for 19 years. In 2022 it took place in Seoul for the first time. The Frieze x Deutsche Bank Emerging Curators Fellowship continued in 2022. It supports the professional development of emerging Black and People of Color curators in Britain with funding a curator at the V&A East. Similarly, the Deutsche Bank Frieze Los Angeles Film Award, which supports aspiring filmmakers was conferred for the third time in 2022. PalaisPopulaire in Berlin is Deutsche Bank’s innovative, interdisciplinary forum for art and culture. It hosts exhibitions in partnership with institutions around the world and displays artworks from the Deutsche Bank Collection. PalaisPopulaire also hosts concerts, lectures, readings, and other cultural events, bringing together the public, clients, and employees to celebrate culture. Its broad range of educational programs for children and adults and special barrier-free offerings for blind, deaf, and visually and hearing-impaired visitors ensures that no one is left out. The digital platform #PalaisPopulaireForYou can reach an even wider audience and reflects the bank’s commitment to accessibility. Support for culture is an essential aspect of Deutsche Bank’s commitment to society. A highlight of this is the bank’s more th anniversary than 30-year partnership with the Berliner Philharmoniker. The orchestra’s education program celebrated its 20 in 2022, during which time it has introduced more than 200,000 people of all ages to classical music. To mark this anniversary, the bank handed over a mobile stage to the Berliner Philharmoniker that the orchestra can use to visit people interested in music where they are. Deutsche Bank also supports aspiring musicians through partnerships with the Junge Deutsche Philharmonie (which trains music students for careers as orchestral players) and the Schloss Belvedere Music Academy (a high school for musically gifted young people). Another partnership links the bank with the English Theatre Frankfurt, the largest English-language stage on the European continent. To commemorate the Holocaust, Deutsche Bank took part in the “Show Light/Licht zeigen” initiative on January 27, 2022, thus setting an example against antisemitism and racism. The action was organized by the friends of Yad Vashem, whom Deutsche Bank supports as well. Sport brings together people from diverse backgrounds, fosters fairness, mutual respect, and inspires athletes towards great achievements. Deutsche Bank has therefore supported competitive sports for decades. One example is the more than 20- year sponsorship of the German Sports Aid Foundation. A cornerstone of the partnership is the “Deutsche Bank Sports Scholarship”, which has been given since 2012 and is supporting up to 300 student athletes enabling them to combine competitive sports with a professional career. Thereby athletes can concentrate on the essentials and achieve their respective goals. In addition, Deutsche Bank annually awards the “Sports Scholarship Holder of the Year” for particularly outstanding achievements in sports and studies. For winners, Deutsche Bank doubles the current sports scholarship for one and a half years. The four other finalists receive additional funding of 50% of the current scholarship for the same period. Moreover, Eintracht Frankfurt’s home ground and the surrounding area was renamed “Deutsche Bank Park” in mid-2020. The spirit of the bank’s partnership with the club goes far beyond football. In fact, it is a collaboration focused on shaping the stadium for the future; it is about working together to modernize Deutsche Bank Park and its surroundings, to accelerate digitalization and drive branding initiatives. One example of the bank’s partnership with Eintracht Frankfurt is the joint initiative of a fitness trail, with exercise equipment placed at different spots within the Deutsche Bank grounds. The stadium has also played host to “Block im Park”, a conference on blockchain. 124
