This is accompanied by a company’s commitment to the societies in which it does business—and this does not stop with giving financial support. What is at stake is the future viability of the company and of society as a whole. And both commitments are mutually inter- dependent: A company’s long-term success is in the best interest of society, and it is in turn in our company’s best interest—i.e. in the interest of our shareholders, staff, and customers—to take action to overcome the vari- ous and new social challenges with which we are confronted today. Sustainable development is becoming ever more important for compa- nies, both in their business activities and in their activities as corporate citizens. Acting sustainably ensures a competitive advantage. Due to the increased importance of this fact, we have moved the corresponding chapter to the beginning of our fourth Corporate Social Responsibility report. Moreover, the report once again underlines our active approach toward a variety of social issues and our relationship with our clients and employ- ees. Interdisciplinary conferences on the growth of cities; concrete co- operations with schools, universities, or cultural institutions; international initiatives such as the Global Compact; discussions with environmental or human rights organizations; global staff surveys; and the treatment of customer complaints: all these examples show that constructive dia- logue is a pillar of our corporate development and our social commitment. Even this report forms part of that dialogue, which means that we hope to not just give you comprehensive information, but to also get feedback from you.

In order to meet this challenge, Deutsche Bank has established a comprehensive Sustain- ability Management System on the basis of the industry norm DIN EN ISO 14001. Internal policies and standards define the responsibilities of the Management Board, the senior management, and the individual employ- ees for economic, ecological, social, and ethical issues. Principles for the actions and decisions of every Bank employee can be derived from the Sustainability Management System. All sustainability-related Corporate Center departments and the PCAM (Private Clients and Asset Manage- ment) and CIB (Corporate and Investment Bank) divisions participate in the system. We intend to further extend the Sustainability Management System to additional international locations and to more Group affiliates. In 2005 we ■ integrated 60 Wall Street, New York, into the Sustainability Manage- ment System and had it certified by external auditors for the first time. Starting with operational environmental protection, we plan to gradu- ally include all our business activities in New York into the system; ■ integrated our affiliate DWS into the system and included it in the cer- tificate according to DIN EN ISO 14001; ■ appointed Sustainability Compliance Officers for all participating depart- ments, who will monitor and ensure the implementation of the system in their departments respectively. In 2006 the London branch, the Asia/Pacific region, and the affiliate DB Bau- spar AG are to be integrated into the Sustainability Management System. To ensure continuous improvement, our internal policies and standards for the Sustainability Management System are regularly updated and ad- justed. In 2005 we ■ revised the Deutsche Bank Mission Statement on Sustainability; ■ updated the Group Policy on the Sustainability Management System and included social and ethical aspects; ■ revised the Group Standard on Operational Environmental Protection and implemented it together with seven sub-standards on waste treatment, facility management, emergency planning, traveling, corporate purchas- ing, risk prevention in environmental protection, and outsourcing; ■ adopted four system-steering standards on aspects of sustainability,
