Deutsche Bank Receives Regional Recognition for Strengthening LGBTQ+ Inclusion and Allyship Across Its Workforce

(IN BRIEF) Deutsche Bank has received major LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion recognition in two regions, reinforcing the bank’s ongoing commitment to creating a more inclusive working environment for employees. In Australia, Deutsche Bank was again named a Platinum Employer at the Australian LGBTQ+ Inclusion Awards, marking its fourth consecutive year at the highest level of the Australian Workplace Equality Index. The recognition reflects the work of dbPride, the bank’s global LGBTQ+ employee network, and the wider efforts across the organisation to support LGBTQ+ colleagues and allies. Glenn Morgan, CEO of Deutsche Bank Australia and APAC Executive Sponsor for dbPride, was also named CEO of the Year for his leadership and visible allyship. In Europe, Deutsche Bank was recognised by the European Pride Business Network at the Workplace Inclusion for a Sustainable Europe Awards, further demonstrating the bank’s cross-regional commitment to LGBTQ+ inclusion. The honours, announced during Pride Month, underline the bank’s view that inclusive workplaces help strengthen culture, collaboration, performance and long-term success.

(PRESS RELEASE) FRANKFURT, 4-Jun-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Deutsche Bank has strengthened its standing as an inclusive employer after receiving separate LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion honours in Australia and Europe, reflecting the bank’s continued efforts to support employees across its international operations.

In Australia, the bank achieved Platinum Employer status at the Australian LGBTQ+ Inclusion Awards for the fourth consecutive year. The recognition is the highest level awarded through the Australian Workplace Equality Index, placing Deutsche Bank among the country’s top-performing organisations for LGBTQ+ inclusion. The result also highlights the sustained role of dbPride, the bank’s global LGBTQ+ employee network, which works with colleagues and allies to promote awareness, advocacy, support and belonging across the organisation.

The awards also recognised Glenn Morgan, CEO of Deutsche Bank Australia and APAC Executive Sponsor for dbPride, who was named CEO of the Year. His award reflects his active support for LGBTQ+ inclusion, visible allyship and leadership in helping create a workplace where inclusive values are reflected in everyday business culture.

Deutsche Bank’s inclusion work was also acknowledged in Europe, where the European Pride Business Network recognised the bank at its Workplace Inclusion for a Sustainable Europe Awards. The recognition places Deutsche Bank among organisations demonstrating strong LGBTQ+ inclusion practices across European markets.

These honours reflect Deutsche Bank’s broader view that a successful business depends not only on the services it provides to clients, but also on the environment it creates for its people. As a Global Hausbank, the bank sees inclusion as a central element of employee engagement, collaboration, performance and sustainable growth.

The timing of the recognition coincides with Pride Month, a period dedicated to celebrating LGBTQ+ communities while also reinforcing the importance of allyship, representation and equal opportunity in workplaces and society.

The Australian Workplace Equality Index is Australia’s leading benchmark for LGBTQ+ inclusion in employment. It assesses organisations across areas including workplace policies, benefits, support measures, LGBTQ+ diversity programmes, awareness initiatives and evidence of impact on organisational culture.

The EPBN Workplace Inclusion for a Sustainable Europe Awards serve as a Europe-wide measure of LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion, recognising employers that show meaningful progress across countries and markets through data, employee insights and independent review.
