FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Deutsche Bank said on Wednesday that it appointed Joerg Eigendorf to the role of chief sustainability officer, as the bank markets itself as a lender that firms can turn to as they transition to a greener future.

Eigendorf had previously also overseen Deutsche’s communications division, but he is handing over those duties to focus fully on sustainability.

“Sustainability is a critical success factor for our bank and a central element in our Global Hausbank strategy,” said Chief Executive Officer Christian Sewing, to whom Eigendorf will report.
