Deutsche Bank among the companies that make up the 2017 Bloomberg Financial Services Gender-Equality Index. The accolade was awarded for the second consecutive year thanks to Deutsche Bank's strong commitment to gender equality.
Deutsche Bank, for the second consecutive year, was named in the 2017 ranking compiled by Bloomberg for Financial Services Gender-Equality (BFGEI).
The 2017 Bloomberg Index singles out 52 companies for their strong commitment to gender equality and is based on evaluation of their gender statistics, employee policies, products offered, as well as external community support and engagement.
The objective of the Bloomberg Financial Services Gender-Equality Index is to provide information to the community on what the situation is in companies in terms of gender equality and, at the same time, to promote the issue more widely as it is thought that greater gender equality can benefit the performance of the organization.
For the past six years, Deutsche Bank has promoted the equal participation of women and men. In 2011, the bank signed a voluntary declaration to increase the proportion of female managers by the end of 2018. In 2015, the percentage of women at Managing Director and Director levels was 20,5% against 17,1% in 2011. Today Deutsche Bank has two women among its Senior Executives on the Management Board, Sylvie Matherat, Chief Regulatory Officer, and Kim Hammonds, Chief Operating Officer.
The bank continues to embed diversity and inclusion in all of its HR processes, from internal mobility to talent recruitment programs, promotions and succession planning.
