Deutsche Bank Frankfurt HQ, Zwillingstürme (Twin Towers) Have Been Raided By Police
-Allegations from former DWS executive Desiree Fixler said the company had made misleading statements in its 2020 annual report
-Claims that more than half the group’s $900bn assets were invested using environmental, social and governance criteria.
-The Frankfurt offices of Deutsche Bank AG and its asset-management subsidiary DWS Group were searched by authorities on Tuesday over allegations of greenwashing at DWS.
-“The measures of the public prosecutors are directed againstunknownpeople in connection with greenwashing allegations against DWS,” a spokesman for the German lender said.
-What Is Greenwashing? Greenwashing is the process of conveying a false impression or providing misleading information about how a company's products are more environmentally sound.
-The towers have direct access to an underground S-Bahn station (Taunusanlage). The largest man-shaped monolith of the world, created by the Swiss sculptor Max Bill, is located in front of the entrance.
-The opposing towers are sometimes jokingly referred to as "Soll und Haben" - "credit and debit".
