The non-financial report was prepared by the Management Board and reviewed and approved by the Supervisory Board of flatexDEGIRO AG for legality, propriety and appropriateness. [...] Overall responsibility for sustainability management lies with the Executive Board, which defines the strategic objectives and regularly monitors their implementation. The Executive Board is supported by a Sustainability Officer, who acts as a central interface between specialized departments, the Executive Board and external stakeholders. ESG activities are coordinated by a specially created ESG staff unit that reports directly to the CFO. This structure ensures compliance with regulatory requirements such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), MaRisk and the EU taxonomy. The Supervisory Board monitors the ESG strategy and ensures that sustainability aspects are anchored in the corporate strategy in the long term. Expertise in the area of sustainability is also an important prerequisite in our requirements profile for the Supervisory Board's range of skills. [...] It is also important to maintain a respectful and regular consultation with all relevant stakeholders. These include our customers, employees, business partners, shareholders, industry associations and public authorities, as well as representatives from the political and scientific communities. During these exchanges, we seek to gather new ideas, appreciate different standpoints, identify trends and develop partnerships. flatexDEGIRO also uses this open dialogue to discuss current challenges and to highlight aspects of the operating environment that are important for flatexDEGIRO. As a matter of principle, stakeholder feedback is incorporated into our business considerations, further developments and decision-making processes.
