Deutsche Bank AG said it set up a panel to help it assess nature-related risks and identify new financial product offerings tied to the challenge of reversing biodiversity loss.
The group is made up of executives from the German bank and members of external organizations, including the United Nations, World Wide Fund for Nature and the Nature Conservancy. The bank said the goal is to improve its understanding of nature-related risks; integrate those risks into its processes; and offer nature-based financing and investment products to global clients.
