This is Deutsche Bank

Deutsche Bank has been serving clients for over 150 years. Our clients are the reason our bank exists. Their needs drive everything we do. They are at the heart of our business. This is true for each and every one of us, wherever we work within the organisation – in the business areas or the infrastructure units. This is Deutsche Bank describes the bank we want to be – for our clients, for our employees, for the society of today and the generation of tomorrow. It sums up what we aim to achieve, how we aim to get there and what we want to guide us along the way.

We can all play a part in being the kind of bank we aspire to be. We are all Deutsche Bank.

Show content of Our vision – translates our purpose into a tangible long-term goal

The Global Hausbank: the European champion and first choice for our clients around the world.

Our vision was derived from four cornerstones:

  • Translates purpose into long-term business aspiration
  • Provides an aspirational stretch
  • Gives guidance for strategy
  • Is achievable 

The vision is a clear view of what long-term success looks like for Deutsche Bank, where we want to get to and by when.

Show content of Our strategy – delivers the roadmap to success. It’s what Deutsche Bank does to achieve its vision

We’ve come a long way, and our businesses are performing well – our strategy sets out how we can build upon our core strengths with:

  • A sharpened business model, focusing on where we have leading market positions across our four client-centric businesses
  • Targeted growth based on a strong anchoring in our home market and a global offering and network in selected businesses
  • A further evolution of our operating model and disciplined resource allocation
  • An aspiration to generate excess capital returns over time 

Show content of Our culture – describes how we want to work together at Deutsche Bank. It’s what grows when we can all do our best every day

Behaving in line with our aspirational culture will ensure we realise Deutsche Bank’s purpose, achieve our vision and deliver our strategy. This is our aspirational culture. It defines where we want to be, recognising that we may not yet be there on every aspect.

The new aspirational culture builds on our Values & Beliefs and will replace them.

It is based on four guiding principles:

  • Acting responsibly to inspire trust
  • Thinking commercially for sustainable outcomes
  • Taking initiative to create solutions
  • Working collaboratively for the greatest impact
