Sustainability indices

Task Force climate-related financial disclosures (TCFD) Index

The DB Group supports the recommendations of the TCFD on reporting climate-related information. In this Integrated Report, we publish content recommended by the TCFD at various points. The index table shows in which chapters and subchapters relevant topics are placed. Following the TCFD recommendations, the table is divided into the four core areas of governance, strategy, risk management and key figures and targets.
