Sustainability Report 2018
Sustainability is one of the four key values at DWS. We have a long term, forward-thinking view with a focus on clients and we are also mindful of our global and societal impact and the responsibility associated with it.
We therefore believe that the EU Directive on the disclosure of non-financial information is an important step in further raising awareness of sustainability and in ensuring that companies take this issue into account in their direction and growth.
In order to position DWS as a standalone asset manager with an articulated focus on sustainability we do not make use of the option of exemption by the non-financial report of Deutsche Bank.
Therefore we have published the non-financial group report as a supplement to the annual report of DWS on March 22, 2019.
This is DWS’s first Sustainability Report, providing insights on sustainable developments within the company in 2018. The next Sustainability Report will be published in March 2020.
