25 Sep 2023 DWS Investment Management Americas Inc.DWS Investment Management Americas: 19 million USD for misleading ESG statements €17.9m
From 2018 until the end of 2021, the Deutsche Bank subsidiary presented ESG as part of its ‘DNA’ but did not implement the ESG integration policies it had promised. It is paying 19 million USD for the ESG misstatements; in separate proceedings over deficiencies in its anti-money laundering programme, a further 6 million USD was added.
ESG marketing statements must be backed by processes that are actually practised and documented; otherwise they become a regulatory risk.
