What do we want to achieve?

We encourage our employees to underpin the pillars of the bank’s citizenship by participating in our education, enterprise, and community projects. Volunteering not only boosts the impact of our CSR programmes, but also has a positive impact on the personal development, motivation, and loyalty of our colleagues. We incentivise volunteering through paid leave, charitable donations, and in-kind support.

How are we implementing that?

A wide range of volunteering opportunities gives employees the chance to apply their skills to make a difference in their community. Furthermore, our employee giving programs extend the reach and impact of the charities that equally matter to our people and Deutsche Bank.
