Deutsche Bank has published its Sustainable Financing Instruments Report 2024, providing investors and stakeholders with a detailed account of the environmental and social impact generated by the instruments included in its labelled bond and loan portfolio. The report, released at the end of June 2025, covers issuances structured under Deutsche Bank's framework, which is aligned with both the International Capital Market Association's Green Bond Principles and its Social Bond Principles.
Among the impact metrics disclosed in the report are avoided carbon dioxide emissions, the volume of renewable energy produced by financed projects, and the installed renewable energy capacity supported by Deutsche Bank's green financing activities.
FRAMEWORK ALIGNMENT AND REPORTING STANDARDS
The ICMA principles provide guidance on four core components: the use of proceeds, the process for project evaluation and selection, the management of proceeds, and reporting.
Deutsche Bank's sustainable financing programme encompasses instruments financing both environmental objectives — such as renewable energy, energy efficiency and clean transportation — and social outcomes, namely affordable housing and access to essential services such as care facilities for elderly and vulnerable people.
