Effective corporate governance is an important part of our identity. The essential framework for this is provided first and foremost by the German Stock Corporation Act and the German Corporate Governance Code, which was last amended in June 2008. Furthermore, since our shares are also listed on the New York Stock Exchange, we are subject to the relevant U.S. capital market legislation as well as the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and New York Stock Exchange.
We ensure the responsible, value-driven management and control of Deutsche Bank through our system of corporate governance. It has four key elements: good relations with shareholders; effective cooperation between the Management Board and Supervisory Board; a system of performance-related compensation; and transparent, timely reporting.
