Recognized for its dedication to empowering people and lifting up communities in the Asia Pacific region, our website earns acclaim at the Euromoney Awards.
The award-winning Deutsche Bank has been making significant strides in promoting diversity, inclusion, and corporate responsibility in the Asia Pacific region and India.
The bank has exceeded its gender representation goals in leadership positions within the Asia Pacific region, demonstrating a commitment to equal opportunities. This is further reinforced by a gender-neutral parental leave policy, ensuring fairness and support for all employees.
Deutsche Bank also actively promotes LGBTQ+ inclusion, with employees participating in events like the Tokyo Pride Parade and supporting Mumbai's first salon run by the Transgender community. The bank's dedication to this cause extends to providing educational opportunities and resources for the LGBTQIA+ community.
Empowering employees with disabilities is another key focus for Deutsche Bank. Through the dbEnable programme, the bank offers initiatives like inclusive cycling events with the Para Cycling Federation of Singapore. The bank also partners with organisations like the Sarthak Educational Trust to train over 500 people with disabilities in English, digital, and life skills.
Recognising the importance of mental health, Deutsche Bank has implemented a dedicated first aiders programme to support its employees' well-being. The bank also fosters a workplace culture that encourages dialogue and diverse views, ensuring fair treatment to all employees.
These efforts have earned Deutsche Bank recognition as Asia’s Best Bank for Diversity and Inclusion and India’s Best Bank for Corporate Responsibility by the Euromoney Awards 2025. The bank's CSR programs impacted over 316,000 people in 2024, a testament to its commitment to making a positive impact in the communities it serves.
Other regional banks also contribute to diversity and inclusion, but Deutsche Bank's integrated approach, which includes initiatives like partnering with the Centre for MicroFinance to support 3,000 women farmers and collaborating with SEWA to help 4,000+ women build sustainable livelihoods, sets it apart.
Moreover, Deutsche Bank's employees in India volunteered their time and talent last year, with over 40% participating in various initiatives. Kaushik Shaparia, CEO of India and Emerging Asia, emphasized the bank's commitment to education and environmental initiatives, while Chandra Mallika, CEO for Developed Asia Pacific and Chief Operating Officer for APAC and MEA, stated that inclusion is deeply personal for the bank.
These initiatives reflect Deutsche Bank's dedication to creating a more inclusive and sustainable future in Asia and India. As the bank continues to grow and evolve, it remains committed to fostering a culture of diversity, inclusion, and corporate responsibility.
