In April 2018, Deutsche Börse’s Accelerating Sustainable Finance initiative and the Green Finance Cluster of the Hessian Ministry of Economics joined forces to create the Green and Sustainable Finance Cluster Germany. The cluster is an association of leading financial institutions. In close collaboration within its own sector and with the real economy, politics, civil society and science, it is dedicated to the development and implementation of a strategic concept for the establishment of a sustainable financial economy.

In addition, Deutsche Börse Group has further expanded its internal sustainability management as well as its sustainable product and service portfolio. 

The Board consists of 16 members, three from each area of Executive Board responsibility and the Head of Group Sustainability. The Board’s tasks are to further develop the Group-wide sustainability strategy along the entire value chain and to advise the Executive Board on sustainability issues.
