Climate

At Deutsche Börse Group, the environment is an integral part of our sustainability activities. We are committed to our corporate responsibility of environmental protection and the associated sustainable orientation of our business activities. In order to be able to manage our resource consumption even better, we have been collecting and monitoring our CO2 key figures across the Group using a tool-based solution since the end of 2021. 

Sustainability

In 2010, the Group Head Office in Eschborn was awarded the platinum standard of the US sustainability certificate "Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design" (LEED). 

We endeavor to contribute to the Paris Climate Agreement with our business activities. Therefore, we have adapted our climate targets in line with current market standards towards a long-term climate strategy in 2023. This comprises Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) aligned near-term targets by 2030 and a net-zero target by 2045:  

Near-term targets  

  • Scope 1 & 2: Deutsche Börse Group aims to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42 percent by 2030 compared to 2022 as the base year.  
  • Scope 3: Deutsche Börse Group targets to reduce absolute scope 3 emissions from fuel and energy-related activities, business travel and employee commuting by 42 percent by 2030 compared to 2022 as the base year.
  • Scope 3 Supplier Engagement: Deutsche Börse Group aims for 81 percent of its suppliers, as measured by its emissions of purchased goods and services and capital goods, to have set their own science-based targets by 2028. The percentage was reduced from 87 percent to 81 percent due to the inclusion of SimCorp and other smaller acquisitions in the Group’s GHG footprint. We will review the possibility of revalidation by SBTi with the adjusted target for the financial year 2025 carefully.

Net-zero target  

  • Scope 1, 2 & 3: Deutsche Börse Group strives to reduce its absolute Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 90 percent by 2045, compared to 2022 as the base year.  

Our targets are based on the GHG protocol and were validated by the SBTi in May 2024. To achieve our targets, we also developed a transition plan in 2024, which contains dedicated emission reduction measures.

Corporate culture: fostering openness

We support a culture of open dialogue, trust and mutual acceptance within our diversity. We strive to foster a healthy and productive work environment where everyone feels welcome to freely contribute their ideas, talent and expertise.


Human rights: practising respect

We endorse the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations, participate in the UN Global Compact and support the labour standards of the International Labour Organization (ILO). Its principles are implemented in our Group-wide compliance policies, in our code of business conduct as well as in our Statement on Human Rights.


Diversity: promoting and using individuality

We place great importance on the targeted promotion of women – which is why we have committed ourselves to specific goals with respect to the proportion of women in management positions. In addition to the gender aspect, age, health impairment, sexual identity, ethical affiliation and beliefs of our employees are also central criteria of our diversity management.


Recruiting: attracting employees of distinction

As one of the world’s leading exchange organisations, we offer highly qualified applicants ideal conditions to develop their expertise, creativity and commitment.


Personnel development: growing together

We want to empower all colleagues to take responsibility for their own growth opportunities. ​​​​​​Besides specific development measures, the majority of development happens on the job – with new tasks, project assignments and collaborative work. Next to specific skill and leadership trainings, Deutsche Börse Group offers two dedicated talent programmes for internal employees:


Our High Potential Programme promotes personal growth and professional development. Participants follow a fixed curriculum in a 12-month learning journey including different trainings focusing on a variety of topics, such as effective communication, negotiation & conflict management as well as the basics of project management styles and (self-) leadership. In addition, voluntary development services and different networking events are part of the programme.


The ada Fellowship prepares our employees for digital transformation and empowers them to act as digital ambassadors for the company. Led by the ada team and their experienced partners from the digital education sector, the fellows undergo an interdisciplinary, 12-months programme. The experience is based on widely differing formats: events and interactive elements with digital bohemians, monthly online deep dives into core topics and working sessions. At live events, the fellows have the opportunity to learn from the leading personalities and designers of tomorrow's world. ​​​​​​​


Remuneration: rewarding performance

We reward performance in a variety of ways. In addition to their fixed salary, and under certain conditions, employees are eligible for a variable bonus. On top of that, we offer long-term remuneration components and – compared with other companies in the financial services sector – above-average social benefits, specific to each location.


“Job, Life & Family”: promoting flexibility and balance

With flexible working hours, options for flexible working locations, programmes for child care and care for the elderly as well as for active preventative health care, we help employees balance their personal and working lives.


Social engagement

As a company, we assume an ethical and legal responsibility as part of our business activities. We also bear an obligation beyond this realm towards the environment in which we operate. Socially responsible companies give back to society. We strive to live up to this standard by supporting charitable causes and creating positive social value in collaboration with our experienced partners. In doing so, we consider our corporate responsibility to be an ongoing obligation towards our shareholders, customers and employees, as well as towards greater society.


Diversity
Inclusion & Equal Opportunities at Deutsche Börse Group

We believe in creating a workplace where everyone feels welcome to contribute their ideas and true self as part of a healthy and productive working environment.
