Cooperation with Bergwaldprojekt e.V. , „Creating life values“
The cooperation between Commerzbank and Bergwaldprojekt e. V. started in October 2018, with Commerzbank reforesting one square metre of forest in Germany for every new electronic mailbox in online banking system.
The cooperation has been continued in 2020, with initiatives at 37 locations in Germany that have been started since then. In total, more than 1.1 million square metres of public forest areas have been developed or reforested in a near-natural way. This has made an effective contribution to the preservation of forests and their diverse range of ecological functions, such as protection against flooding. In 2023, for example, for every customer who reorganised their investments in line with a sustainable asset management approach, we supported the reforestation of public forest in Germany, amounting to 18,525 square metres.
Commerzbank’s asset management is now also committed to the rewetting of moors as part of the bank’s current “Creating life values” campaign. Ninety-five per cent of moors in Germany have been drained, resulting in the loss of the important functions of these highly specialised ecosystems. As a result, seven per cent of Germany’s greenhouse gas emissions are due to drained moors. A particularly impressive example: healthy peatlands store twice as much carbon as all the world’s forests put together.
In addition, vital moors provide a habitat for numerous rare animals and plants. These are often highly specialised and have adapted to the peatland ecosystem over centuries. The preservation and renaturalisation of moors in Germany therefore also make an important contribution to protecting the moors’ highly endangered biodiversity.
Since 2024, every customer who responsibly invests in one of our asset management solutions with a sustainable investment focus has supported our cooperation with Bergwaldprojekt e. V. This means that, in addition to reforestation, areas of renaturalised moorland can now also be supported.
