Incidents of corruption or bribery (G1-4)

Tip-offs about cases of corruption in the lower double-digit range were received in 2025. They were processed internally in accordance with the established processes and, if sufficiently incriminatory, also in conjunction with the responsible investigating authorities. In 2025, there were no confirmations of allegations of corruption originating from DB Group. Accordingly, no labor law measures were taken against employees in this respect. There were also no convictions (of DB Group employees or executives) in connection with corruption offenses, meaning that no fines were imposed on employees or DB Group.

Compliance awareness and training

About 27,000 executives and employees (previous year: about 28,000 executives and employees) took part in events with trainers on the topic of corruption prevention in 2025. In addition, about 63,000 e-learning units on corruption prevention were completed in 2025 (previous year: about 88,000).
