In 2024, the total Scope 1 emissions of Deutsche Bank were 16,978 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, Deutsche Bank's Scope 1 emissions have decreased by 66.23%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2023), Deutsche Bank's Scope 1 emissions increased by 8.58%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from its directly owned or controlled operations.a
In 2024, Deutsche Bank reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 16,356 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 99,164 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), Deutsche Bank's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Deutsche Bank's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2024, Deutsche Bank reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2024, Deutsche Bank reported 495,778,489 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2024 disclosure of Deutsche Bank includes a breakdown across 13 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2023, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2024, Deutsche Bank reported total Scope 3 emissions of 495,778,489 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 0.22% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 99.78% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, Deutsche Bank's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 23,208.67%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2023), Deutsche Bank's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Deutsche Bank's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
In 2024, Deutsche Bank reported emissions for 13 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This reflects a high level of granularity and transparency in the company's emissions reporting.
In 2024, the largest contributors to Deutsche Bank's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Deutsche Bank reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 16,978 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 31,267 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 0.54 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Deutsche Bank reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 0.54 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 0.88, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Deutsche Bank ranked 8 out of 24 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Deutsche Bank is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, Deutsche Bank reported a total carbon footprint of 495,894,631 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 8.01% increase compared to 2023, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to Deutsche Bank's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 99.98% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 0.02%.a
