Companies have a central responsibility for the social environment in which they operate. Therefore corporate responsibility is not a one-off matter for Deutsche Börse Group, but rather an ongoing obligation towards employees, customers, investors, the environment and society. In short: towards our stakeholders. As part of this society, we take our corporate responsibility seriously and put it into action. This is because we want to set more things into motion than just capital flows and therefore assign ourselves the task of implementing our corporate objectives responsibly, promoting social activities in a targeted manner and, in so doing, always acting with a view to the environment. We do this out of conviction and in order to permanently secure our company's competitiveness. Only if we are financially successful and grow as a company can we create value for our stakeholders and meet our responsibility. Our responsibility: Standards for our actions We orient ourselves around the following four principles in order to ensure that our actions have a clear focus and conform with the company's objectives. Sustainability as the foundation
Our business is based on the principle of sustainability. Therefore we always act with a view to the long term, responsibly and in awareness of potential consequences. Thus we make our actions as verifiable and measurable as possible. In this way we create confidence in our reliability as a partner and financial services provider as well as in the transparency of our company. Ultimate professionalism and quality
We are active promoters, in other words we develop our own ideas and purposefully seek out points of contact for new projects and new ways of demonstrating our commitment. As a matter of principle, we only work with qualified institutions and partners. In the selection process, quality comes before quantity. We focus on promoting select, premium projects that meet our high quality standards.
Focus on locations
We focus our activities around our major locations, because, as part of our involvement, we are committed to improving our immediate environment. We aim to provide financial and social support to the communities where we are based. Personal involvement
The degree to which our employees can relate to our activities is an important aspect in the selection process. This means we prefer projects that allow our employees to get involved themselves or that can be designed so our employees can participate directly. After all, being there and doing something is contagious and focuses the perspective on our immediate surroundings. Corporate responsibility of Deutsche Börse Group |
