Frankfurt, 4 december 2009 

Climate change is one of the most important issues of the next decades and has the potential to severely impact societies, economies and human wellbeing. It is therefore crucial to reduce the likelihood of the devastating effects of climate change and to alleviate its negative consequences.

Financial institutions can play a key role in achieving these goals and Deutsche Bank is determined to be a leader in this space. We believe that as one of the leading global financial institutions, we need to face up to the climate change challenge – we want to be the trusted partner for clients who take trailblazing action to tackle the inevitable impact of climate change on their business, and a responsible partner for our customers, shareholders, employees and the global society at large in the collective effort of transitioning to low-carbon growth.
