Its role as a publicly listed company increases Deutsche Börse’s focus on transparency as a key aspect of effective capital markets communication. What we ask of ourselves: to not simply comply with reporting obligations uncritically but to play an active role in shaping the reporting of tomorrow. Convinced that transparency increases trust and creates safety, we support initiatives on sustainable reporting such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC).

We want to lead by example and offer our stakeholders information which is relevant to them. Deutsche Börse is further enhancing the quality of its sustainability reporting in the 2018 annual report by integrating key information into the Group’s combined management report as well as by adhering to the concept of firmly embedding social responsibility and sustainability in all business areas.
