FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Greenpeace activists on Wednesday scaled Deutsche Bank (ETR:)’s headquarters in Frankfurt and strung a large yellow banner across part of the facade to protest the investment policies of the German lender and its asset management company DWS.
The action comes a day ahead of DWS’s annual shareholder meeting.
The banner, in German, translated to “Force DWS, protect the climate”.
The action drew a half dozen police vehicles, but an officer said there would be no arrests.
Deutsche Bank and DWS didn’t immediately respond to a request seeking comment outside of normal business hours.
