About Commerzbank As a large, integrated bank, Commerzbank is one of Europe’s leading financial institutions and the second-largest in Germany. Since its acquisition of Dresdner Bank in January 2009, Commerzbank has grown to become Germany’s leading bank for private and corporate customers. Today, the new Commerzbank serves a total of more than 14 million private and corporate customers. Commerzbank is a competent service provider for private and business customers as well as small and mid-sized companies, while also serving numerous large and multinational cor- porate customers. It aims to be the best bank for its key target groups. With some 1,200 branches, the new bank will have the densest branch network of all German banks, and Commerzbank customers will continue to benefit from an increasingly broad and attractive range of products and advisory services. What’s more: Commerzbank’s clear commitment to the German market makes it an even stronger long-term partner that perfectly unites the ex- pertise and know-how of the two institutions. With a strong partner you can achieve anything. This is the idea that underpins everything Commerzbank does. Achieving success through the perfect combination of performance and partnership – that’s what the Commerzbank brand stands for. We aim to achieve success for our customers, and we do that though hard work and dedi- cation, high service quality and a thorough understanding of our customers’ needs. Our reward is the trust that customers place in us again and again. That trust is what makes the equity of the Commerzbank brand – a value we intend to keep building in the years ahead: for our customers in Germany and throughout the world, for our future as a bank and as a company. High performance and a talent for innovation have made Commerzbank a premier name in the German and European markets. Ever since 1870, when Commerzbank was founded in Hamburg, customers have been able to put their trust in us. Commerzbank and its expertise will be there for them in the future too.

Focusing on our customers P.58 P.68 P.76 P.82 P.88 P.96 P.106 despite the turbulence caused by the financial market crisis Commerzbank laid the foundations for ongoing growth. Acquiring Dresdner Bank and founding the first cus- tomer advisory council at a German bank strengthened our position as a competent partner for private and business customers and for the SME sector in Germany, Eastern Europe and further afield. Commerzbank is on the right track because we are focusing on our principal asset: our customers. Focusing on our strengths is a recipe for success that we, as a company, share with many of our customers. The people mentioned in this report are a good example of this approach. They are remarkably successful because they have concentrated on their strengths. Achieving growth thanks to our clear customer focus In 2008, the financial markets and banking sector faced great challenges world- wide – a situation which will continue in 2009. Despite this difficult environ- ment, we took important steps in the past business year towards establishing Commerzbank as the leading bank in Germany for private customers and SMEs. The takeover of Dresdner Bank was the most significant milestone in this respect. The global banking sector is about to see a reshuffling of the cards, with many institutions undergoing extensive restructuring. By continuing our strategic reorientation in key business areas, 2008 already saw us create the conditions for consolidating and reinforcing our market position. Thanks to our clear customer focus, we are laying the foundations on which to deliver a ”new” Commerzbank built on strength and efficiency. martin blessing Chairman of the Board of Managing Directors +574,000 Our private customer base rose by this amount in 2008; we now have 6.1 million private customers in Germany. +37.4% The extent to which operating profit grew in our Private Customers segment in 2008. +51% The exceptional percentage increase in the number of customers within our Central and Eastern Europe segment in 2008. €46.0bn This is the total volume of loans outstanding to German SMEs as per the fourth quarter of 2008. Our customer-driven business provides security The unusually volatile markets impacted upon almost all banking industry services in 2008. We were able to respond to this challenging environment thanks to solid liquidity management and a healthy funding structure. A substantial increase in customer deposits and a silent participation by the Special Fund for Financial Market Stabilization (SoFFin) also provided a welcome buffer. Our customer-oriented business played a role in keeping our liquidity within a comfortable range over the entire year. In its business policies Commerzbank generally opts for funding with matching maturities. We will continue this approach and further strengthen the liquidity base of the new Commerzbank by consistently focusing on our customers. martin blessing Chairman of the Board of Managing Directors +€20bn During the past year, customer deposits rose by this amount – or 25% – to €101bn. 1.14 Our key liquidity ratio at the end of 2008 – comfortably in excess of the 1.0 target. €19.9bn At 23.4% above the prior-year figure, this was our equity capital at the end of 2008 – which included €8.2bn from the SoFFin silent participation.

  • Corporate Non-Financial Reporting in Germany
    Copyright © Development International e.V., 2019 ISBN: 978-3-9820398-1-7 Authors: Chris N. Bayer, PhD Gisella Vogel Sarah Kaltenhäuser Katherine Storrs Jiahua (Java) Xu, PhD Juan Ignacio Ibañez, LL.M. Title: A New Responsibility for Sustainability: Corporate Non-Financial Reporting in Germany Date published: May 6, 2019 Funded by: iPoint-systems gmbh www.ipoint-systems.com Executive Summary Germany's economy is the fourth-largest in the world (by nominal GDP), and with 28% of the euro area market, it represents the largest economy in Europe.1 Considering the supply chains leading to its economy, Germany's cumulative environmental, social and governance performance reverberates globally. The EU Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) is the impetus behind this study – a new regulation that seeks to “increase the relevance, consistency and comparability of information disclosed by certain large undertakings and groups across the Union.”2 Large undertakings in EU member states are not only required to report on their financial basics, now they are also required by Article 1 of the Directive to account for their non- financial footprint, including adverse impacts they have on the environment and supply chains. In accordance with the Directive, the German transposition stipulates that the non-financial declaration must state which reporting framework was used to create it (or explain why no framework was applied), as well as apply non-financial key performance indicators relevant to the particular business. These requirements are our point of departure: We systematically assess the degree of non-financial transparency and performance reporting for 2017 applying an ex-post assessment framework premised on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the German Sustainability Code (Deutscher Nachhaltigkeitskodex, DNK) and the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC).

  • The Reason Given for the UK's Decision to Float Sterling Was the Weight of International Short-Term Capital
    - Issue No. 181 No. 190, July 6, 1972 The Pound Afloat: The reason given for the U.K.'s decision to float sterling was the weight of international short-term capital movements which, despite concerted intervention from the Bank of England and European central banks, had necessitated massive sup­ port operations. The U.K. is anxious that the rate should quickly o.s move to a "realistic" level, at or around the old parity of %2. 40 - r,/, .• representing an effective 8% devaluation against the dollar. A w formal devaluation coupled with a wage freeze was urged by the :,I' Bank of England, but this would be politically embarrassing in the }t!IJ light of the U.K. Chancellor's repeated statements that the pound was "not at an unrealistic rate." The decision to float has been taken in spite of a danger that this may provoke an international or European monetary crisis. European markets tend to consider sterling as the dollar's first line of defense and, although the U.S. Treasury reaffirmed the Smithsonian Agreement, there are fears throughout Europe that pressure on the U.S. currency could disrupt the exchange rate re­ lationship established last December. On the Continent, the Dutch and Belgians have put forward a scheme for a joint float of Common Market currencies against the dollar. It will not easily be implemented, since speculation in the ex­ change markets has pushed the various EEC countries in different directions. The Germans have been under pressure to revalue, the Italians to devalue. Total opposition to a Community float is ex­ pected from France (this would sever the ties between the franc and gold), and the French also are adamant that Britain should re­ affirm its allegiance to the European monetary agreement and return to a fixed parity.
