Deka Group’s ESG ratings
DekaBank is an issuer of public bonds, mortgage bonds, bearer bonds and certificates under the Green Bond Framework. We take great care to meet the requirements of the sustainability rating agencies so that we can successfully place our bonds on the market. In addition, the agencies’ criteria reflect the requirements of important Deka Group stakeholder groups – such as environmental associations, human rights organisations and trade unions. We use the sustainability ratings as the basis for the regular analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of our sustainability management – including in comparison with other banks.
