Sustainable finance has experienced a strong boost in recent years. But there is still a lot to do, especially in Germany.

Deutsche Börse’s climate strategy was developed in line with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). It is seen as an ongoing process with a constantly rising ambition level.

Deutsche Börse and its subsidiary Clearstream Banking S.A., enhanced their credit line with a “positive incentive loan”. The extension by ESG criteria is a clear commitment of Deutsche Börse Group to establish sustainable finance in all business sectors as well as in its own financing. 

The German government wants to establish Germany as a leading location for sustainable finance. The Green and Sustainable Finance Cluster Germany has published a policy roadmap in cooperation with WWF Germany and actors from the financial sector and academia. It provides the impetus for a political framework for anchoring sustainability aspects.
