DZ BANK offers a broad range of sustainable products and services in both its lending and its investment product businesses that it is continuously expanding.

DZ BANK has offered investment certificates incorporating sustainability since 2000. We are now gradually expanding our range of sustainable investment products with our new 'Anlage Zukunft' product line. Under our 'twice the benefit' slogan, we offer products that take account of both sustainability standards and returns. The TÜV Süd product standards regulator has verified the product development process for our sustainable investment certificates in accordance with the ISO 9001 international quality management standard.

Another aspect of our sustainability activities is the agriculture/nature/energy initiative, which supports firms that want to tap new sources of income by using wind power, biomass, or solar energy. We have established competence centers at six locations that, in conjunction with the local cooperative banks, offer information events and draw up suitable funding concepts for customers.

We have also teamed up with VR LEASING and R+V Versicherung to offer one-stop solutions through the local cooperative banks to manufacturers, investors, and operators of municipal, company, and private equipment using renewable energies. The range of solutions comprises funding and leasing models as well as insurance services (professional indemnity, environmental indemnity, and environmental pollution insurance).
