Deutsche Bank’s new policies: much needed movement, still a long way to Paris

2020-7-27
urgewald
Explanation

The scores for a bank's policies restricting expansion of fossil fuels - in each area, prohibitions against financing projects and/or companies expanding that area - are aggregated into a fossil fuel expansion policy score.

The point-based policy ranking for fossil fuel expansion consists of the following distribution:

  • Coal mining: 14 points​
  • Coal power: 14 points
  • Other coal: 7 points
  • Tar sands: 9 points
  • Arctic oil and gas: 9 points
  • Offshore oil and gas: 9 points
  • Fracked oil and gas: 9 points
  • LNG: 9 points
  • Other oil and gas: 9 points

A bank can obtain a total of 89 policy points for its fossil fuel expansion policy. Based on this score, banks are then classified as laggards (0-22.25 points), followers (22.25-44.5 points), front runners (44.5-66.75 points) or leaders (66.75-89 points).

See: Banking on Climate Change - policy scores

Explanation

For each of the six subsectors, 20 possible policy points can be obtained, so a bank can obtain a total of 120 policy points for its oil and gas policies.

Total: 8.5 points out of 32

2 points for a weak exclusion of coal mining projects: Deutsche Bank prohibits any financing for greenfield thermal coal mines.

6 points for a moderate phase-out commitment regarding coal mining companies: Deutsche Bank commits to phase out coal mining exposure by 2025 worldwide (including both lending and capital markets). This is a moderate commitment because the bank does not have intermediate exclusion criteria (around developers or dropping non-compliant clients).

0.5 point for enhanced due diligence regarding coal mining companies: Deutsche Bank prohibits financing for the biggest U.S. MTR coal miners. This qualifies as enhanced due diligence. The exclusion would have to be broadened, either to encompass all MTR coal miners, or some non-MTR coal miners, to qualify for a higher score.
