Operational ecology

As a bank with a small number of employees working at a single location in Frankfurt am Main, the environmental impact of Rentenbank’s business activities is minor. Nevertheless, Rentenbank strives to continuously shrink its ecological footprint. Because our own building on Hochstraße is currently being renovated while preserving its landmark-building status, we are using the “Goldenes Haus” building on Theodor-Heuss-Allee 80, where we have leased four floors, as an interim headquarters. The bank’s own resource management standards are met both in the building we are using on a temporary basis and in the renovation of our own building.

After the initial certification as an Eco-Profit Enterprise in 2022, Rentenbank successfully attained recertification in 2023. The recertification was tied to the fulfilment of Eco-Profit’s mandatory criteria and the definition and implementation of measures within the cross-divisional environmental protection team. The programme did not require recertification in 2024. Since the Rhein Main Eco-Profit Programme was discontinued in 2024, Rentenbank is currently studying the option of introducing a follow-on environmental management programme.
