Various 60topics including physical climate risks and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were part 61of our CIO Day. 62ESG in Alternatives63Illiquid investments comprises direct investments into unlisted real estate, infrastructure 64(both via debt or equity) and private equity. The inherent differences between the liquid and 65illiquid asset classes require that the approach to incorporating ESG for Alternatives be 66tailored specifically to the relevant Alternatives asset classes as outlined in the sections 67below. In general, the incorporation of ESG into the illiquid investment process takes place 68during investment due diligence and portfolio management.69ESG in Real Estate Investments70GRI 203-171Our real estate business recognises the importance of identifying, assessing, and managing 72sustainability-related risks and opportunities as an integral part of conducting business. DWS 73Real Estate focuses on the following ESG aspects, which are material for real estate equity 74and/or debt investments: transitional (e. g., a building’s energy efficiency), physical (e. g., 75flooding risk), social norms (e. g., well-being sustainability rating) and governance (e. g., third-76party risk rating of a debt sponsor). These ESG aspects can present both risks and 77opportunities for the financial performance of real estate assets, and investments may have 78positive and negative environmental and social effects. 79Therefore, DWS Real Estate takes a fiduciary-led approach to ESG aspects and sustainability 80performance in private real estate investment management, defining a range of operation 81between ESG and financial risk boundaries. The ESG risk boundary relates to risks where 82appropriate actions to assess and manage ESG aspects, if not undertaken in good time, could 83result in negative impacts on sustainability and long-term expected financial performance of 84the asset or portfolio. The financial risk boundary relates to negative effects of inappropriate 85sustainability actions (e. g., actions that are ill-timed, or too extensive) on compliance with the 86investment objectives. 87 88To our Shareholders Summarised 89Management Report90Consolidated 91Financial Statements Compensation Report Corporate Govern-92ance Statement93Supplementary 94Information DWS 2023 Annual Report95 96Our Responsibility9734 Sustainable Action
