Sustainability

We do not follow anyone else’s guidelines. We follow our own standards.

When it comes to ecological, ethical and socially compliant action, we don’t just jump on any bandwagon. We have developed our own vision of sustainability based on our high corporate values and we adhere to it at all times. Our investors, tenants and team members appreciate the fact that we don’t just aim for the minimum through this commitment, but go well beyond it. 

Sustainability-related disclosures

In order to increase the transparency of financial offers and services, Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of 27 November 2019 applies sustainability-related disclosure requirements ("Disclosure Regulation"). Accordingly, since March 2021, financial market participants have been obliged to disclose various sustainability information. These include the company and its products.

Nanette Hoppe, Director Sustainability und Project Management

We take responsibility.
And get involved.

It is a matter of course for us to make a contribution to the common good. 

Our commitment ranges from long-term financial support to active campaign days with our team members. We support associations, social institutions, regional projects and our team members.

Open around the clock.

In Berlin Kreuzberg, the doors of St. Clemens are always open. The church sees itself as a place of celebration, lectures and prayer around the clock. It is not made up of local residents as usual, but attracts a multilingual community from all over Berlin. It welcomes people from around 60 countries, including Vietnamese, Cameroonians, Kenyans, Croats, Italians and Colombians, all under the leadership of Indian friars, the Vincentians.

The church and the adjacent hostel were built in 1910 and were intended to provide journeymen and craftsmen with a place of rest, surrounded by the casinos and pubs that dominated Potsdamer Platz at the time.

We have been supporting St. Clemens since 2015.

Team play is the key to success.

Because when each individual gives their best in their position, makes conscious decisions at the right time and has full trust in their team, challenges are fundamentally easier to overcome. We speak from experience. And HTS/BW96 Handball Hamburg can do that too. As one of the largest clubs in the Hamburg Handball Association with a total of more than 40 teams (adults, children and "minis"), the members know how important teamwork is, both for players and coaches as well as all other volunteers.

Some challenges can only be overcome together. And that is precisely why we at Deutsche Investment support the club and its outstanding youth work in particular through sponsorship. 

Doing good together.

And with a large portion of fun. We promote the social commitment of our team members through joint social days. A great opportunity to get involved together outside of work.

Many charitable organizations not only need financial support, but also donations of time. It helps them if they are actively supported by volunteers. Just like the non-profit organization Hanseatic Help e.V., which has been distributing donations in kind and purchased items to people in need in Hamburg since 2015. Some of our Hamburg team took the time to sort products on site in the donation warehouse. 

We achieve goals with perseverance.

Our team gives its best every day, even in its free time.

Like Martin Ernst, Principal Investment Management, who has passionately and successfully completed several long-distance triathlons (Ironman).
During the distances of 3.8 km swimming, 180 km cycling and 42.195 km running, he always proudly wears the Deutsche Investment logo on his jersey.

We are delighted to be able to support our team members in achieving their sporting goals.
