Commerzbank

"Commit to action is a platform of the non-governmental organisations CDP and „We mean Business“ to coordinate various climate change initiatives. Commerzbank participates in three of them: [...] Commit to remove commodity-driven deforestation from all supply chains by 2020."

"The aim is to reduce the CO2 balance sheet of its entire lending and investment portfolio to net zero by 2050 at the latest. For its own banking operations, the Bank aims to reduce CO2 emissions to zero by 2040."

"Under no circumstances is the following permitted: [...]  To use money of the Commerzbank Group for purposes that are not fully and properly documented. [...] To work with consultants or third parties who have not pledged to reject bribery and corruption."; "It is our legal obligation and part of our social responsibility to use our taxes to help finance public budgets. For this reason alone, we reject any form of tax evasion (regardless of the violation of the law), be it with our customers, with ourselves as a company or with our business partners. This includes that we do not tolerate incitement to / aiding and abetting tax evasion. It is illegal to use our products, services or any other service - whether internal or external - to support or encourage tax evasion by another person. Compliance with the applicable laws to combat tax evasion and other tax crimes in the markets and legal systems in which we operate is our top priority. We expect the same from our employees, customers and business partners. We also gear our behavior towards avoiding tax offenses. In addition, we do not support customers with “tax avoidance”, the result of which runs counter to the intention of the respective law. We also pay attention to this when it comes to product innovations. As a bank, we design these in a tax-compliant manner.";
