Banking. Sustainable.

Environmental, social and governance issues shape the entrepreneurial activities of Commerzbank.

Our way to Net Zero

The transformation into a sustainable economy affects us all. It is our aspiration to actively shape this change. As early as 2019, we signed the Principles for Responsible Banking of UNEP FI and committed ourselves to supporting the economy in its transformation. With our Net Zero commitment, we are taking another significant step.
„Sustainability has been an integral part of our corporate strategy since 2020. We want to play our part in bringing global financial flows into line with the goals of the Paris Agreement and the European Union’s Green Deal, thereby promoting climate-compatible development.“
Manfred Knof

The bank's operations are to meet the Net Zero standard and our supplier portfolio will be climate neutral. In this way, we lead by example.
