Non-financial statement
DB Group has opted for the voluntary submission of a non-financial statement (NFS). As part of our integrated report approach, we provide comprehensive information on all material sustainability topics.
The update of the materiality analysis in 2023 resulted in a change in the key areas of action within the scope of the CSR Directive Implementation Act (CSR-RUG). The topic of attractive employer and securing skilled labor was newly classified as material. The contents of the NFS can be found in the relevant chapters of the Combined Management Report and were prepared using the GRI standards and taking into account the UNGC reporting requirements. In addition, we provide additional voluntary disclosures on further matters.

Risk management
In connection with the requirements of the CSR-RUG, we were not able to identify any material risks associated with our business operations, business relationships, products or services that are likely to have serious negative effects on the most important non-financial aspects (environmental, social and employee matters, respect for human rights and the fight against corruption and bribery). We discuss the impacts in detail in this Integrated Report.
Our risk management also considers impacts of sustainability-related aspects and issues.
