In 2023, Deutsche Bank generated a total of 8,331 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 57.58% of Deutsche Bank's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 42.42% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
In 2023, Deutsche Bank reported a total waste generation of 8,331 metric tonnes, of which 57.58% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Deutsche Bank is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Since 2021, Deutsche Bank's total waste generation decreased by 27.14%, including a further 23.69% drop in 2023, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.
Over the same period, Deutsche Bank's waste recovery rate declined by 20.55%, with a further 9.75% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, while Deutsche Bank has successfully reduced its total waste generation, its waste recovery efforts have also declined. This pattern could suggest a shift in strategy away from circular treatment methods or a lag in recovery infrastructure development.
