Deutsche Bank wins Cloud Excellence Award! 🎉 🏆 Our cloud transformation journey has been recognised with the special prize for Cloud Excellence at the CIO of the Year 2024 competition. This award further validates our strategic partnership with Google Cloud, which began in late 2020 to modernise our technology landscape. Over the past four years, the partnership has already delivered significant performance improvements and reduced recovery times. In some cases, having moved to the cloud, business-critical applications are seeing performance improvements of 20-50% and a reduction in recovery time from 6 hours to just 22 minutes! ⏱️ By moving business data safely to the cloud, we are able to deliver faster insights, lower costs and an improved user experience. 👨💻 "It allows us to implement new products or improvements for our customers more quickly," added Bernd Leukert, our Chief Technology, Data and Innovation Officer. We're proud to be at the forefront of this evolution, leveraging the cloud to drive innovation and deliver exceptional customer experiences. #CloudTransformation #DigitalInnovation #FinancialServices

📹💬 Tone from the Top: Psychological Safety in the Workplace On today's World Mental Health Day, we want to emphasise the importance of psychological safety as a cornerstone of our Well-being Strategy. It fosters an environment where individuals feel comfortable and empowered to share their personal experiences, concerns, and challenges related to mental health without fear of judgment. 🫂 When our colleagues feel safe, they are more likely to seek help and engage in discussions about well-being. It’s crucial to remember that creating a psychologically safe environment is a collective effort involving both leaders and employees. In our latest video, hear from our Well-being Champions and Fabrizio Campelli, Head of the Corporate Bank and Investment Bank and Member of the Management Board, as they reflect on how we can all contribute to a culture of understanding, empathy, and support. Watch the video with your teams, families, or friends and consider what more you can do to create an environment where everyone can be their true selves and open up when they need help. 🤲🤍 #WorldMentalHealthDay #ItsOkNotToBeOk #DeutscheBank

Let’s Talk About Mental Health! 🧠💬 Today, we are kicking off World Mental Health Week at Deutsche Bank with over 60 events across the globe. Our goal is to raise awareness about the mental health challenges we all may face, understand how we can better support each other, and take better care of ourselves. We aim to share valuable resources and encourage open, honest conversations about mental health. 🫂 ❔ Did you know that, according to a study by The UKG Workforce Institute, managers impact employees’ mental health more than doctors or therapists, and just as much as spouses or partners? Hear from our colleagues about the support they have received from their managers and peers during challenging times, and learn from their managers and colleagues about how they provided this much-needed support. These insights remind us of the importance of our mission to create a work environment where mental health truly matters. At Deutsche Bank, it’s okay not to be okay. ❤️🩹 Join us in this important conversation. 💬 #WorldMentalHealthWeek #DeutscheBank #MentalHealthMatters #MentalWellbeing

It's all about transition planning! 🌱 We were proud to host the 20th annual UNEP FI / VfU Roundtable on September 30th, marking as well our 20th year of VfU membership. This year's event, focused on transition planning, brought together around 130 experts from the sustainable finance community. It was an important opportunity to collaborate, share insights, and drive progress on the critical challenges and opportunities facing the financial industry during panel discussions, impulse talks and deep dives. 🤝 Here are the top key takeaways: 📌 Transition plans are one instrument to show decarbonization targets and enhance transparency and credibility but need to be interpreted in the context. 📌 Banks and politics have to go hand in hand to achieve the change to a net-zero future. 📌 The DFG funded study “Raising the bar: What determines the ambition level of corporate climate targets?” about decarbonization strategies of companies worldwide shows the varying degrees of ambition in their transition plans: https://lnkd.in/g8hkG8mK. Characteristics for high ambition are: leadership engagement, continual management support, employee involvement, participation in climate initiatives, collaboration with external stakeholders. 📌 Lack of sufficient data is still a factor for transition plans, but their collection will be better with the CSRD. Thank you to our Deutsche Bank speakers Jörg Eigendorf, Chief Sustainability Officer, Viktoriya Brand, Head of Group Sustainability, Dirk Haas, Head of Sustainability Strategy & Regional Governance, Markus H.-P. Müller, Chief Investment Officer ESG & Global Head of Chief Investment Office Deutsche Bank - Private Bank, and Sebastian Theuerer, Sustainability Strategy & Governance Manager. #SustainableFinance #TransitionPlanning #DeutscheBank United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) Verein für Umweltmanagement und Nachhaltigkeit in Finanzinstituten (VfU) e.V.

Borrowed Light, Shared Voices: Advancing DEI through art 🎨 Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting an inspiring dbENRICH Germany event at the PalaisPopulaire, using art as a safe space to promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion within Deutsche Bank. 🌍🤝 dbENRICH Germany is an initiative and network within Deutsche Bank that fosters openness and a community for diverse exchange. Committed to supporting underrepresented groups, including employees from various ethnic, national, and cultural backgrounds, its mission is to create a meaningful and inclusive network where everyone feels empowered to contribute. At this event, we explored two incredible exhibitions. First, Rohini Devasher’s "Borrowed Light", which beautifully connects the distant worlds of art, science, and nature, mirroring how dbENRICH bridges diverse perspectives, bringing people and ideas together. Additionally, we visited Galli's exhibition, "See How You Get On", which challenges conventional perceptions and encourages breaking free from standard views. Both exhibitions align with our mission of fostering open dialogue and diverse perspectives. Art, much like diversity, has the power to open up dialogue, inspire, and connect us. Through dbENRICH, we aim to create spaces where every individual feels safe, heard, and valued. It was a truly beautiful evening that reminded us of the richness that comes from bringing different perspectives together. #Diversity #Inclusion #iaminclusion #DEI #SafeSpace #ArtAndDiversity #dbENRICH #BorrowedLight #SeeHowYouGetOn #DeutscheBank #PalaisPopulaire

Over 1,500 tech minds, one shared goal: Enabling Client Success! 🚀 🙌 Following its launch in Asia in April and stops in London and Bucharest, over 1,500 colleagues from across the bank gathered this week in Frankfurt and Berlin for our internal technology fair. The motto of this year's “Bank on Tech” was “Enabling Client Success” - we help clients to succeed. Our colleagues presented showcases at 26 booths, 28 speaker sessions and many other activities, including workshops and even fun games where participants could test an F1 car simulator, take part in a coding challenge, or try AI prompts to generate their own music. 💬 The format, launched back in 2016 by the bank’s Indian technology centre, has emerged as one of the annual highlights for the teams across Deutsche Bank Technology, Data & Innovation to showcase their current projects and demonstrate how they are using modern technologies to solve specific business challenges and drive the bank's transformation together with their colleagues across the bank. 👩💻 Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to dominate the developments, but the day covered the full spectrum of the bank’s technology strategy, from cloud, data and agile, to security and engineering culture. #DeutscheBank #TDI #Innovation #AI #EngineeringCulture #BankonTech
