 matters which may pose a reputational risk, before the event, and in doing so to prevent damage to Deutsche Bank’s reputation wherever possible. The Framework provides consistent standards for the identification, assessment and management of reputational risk issues. Reputational impacts which may arise as a consequence of a failure from another risk type, control or process are addressed separately via the associated risk type framework and are therefore not addressed in this section. The reputational risk could arise from multiple sources including, but not limited to, potential issues with the profile of the counterparty, the business purpose / economic substance of the transaction or product, high risk industries, environmental and social considerations, and the nature of the transaction or product or its structure and terms. The modelling and quantitative measurement of reputational risk internal capital is implicitly covered in the bank’s economic capital framework primarily within strategic risk. Governance and Organizational Structure The Framework is applicable to all business units and regions. Matters specific to DWS are reviewed by the DWS Reputational Risk Committee and, if necessary, escalated to the DWS Executive Board. Decisions are subject to the DWS and Deutsche Bank internal Corporate Governance policies. Whilst every employee has a responsibility to protect the bank’s reputation, the primary responsibility for the identification, assessment, management, monitoring and, if necessary, referring or reporting of reputational risk matters lies with Deutsche Bank’s Business Divisions as the primary risk owners. Each Business Division has an established process through which matters, which are deemed to be a moderate or greater reputational risk are assessed, the Unit Reputational Risk Assessment Process. The Unit Reputational Risk Assessment Process is required to refer any material reputational risk matters to the respective Regional Reputational Risk Committee. The Framework also sets out a number of matters which are considered inherently higher risk from a reputational risk perspective and are therefore mandatory referrals to the Regional Reputational Risk Committees. The Regional Reputational Risk Committees, which are 2nd LoD Committees and meet on an ad hoc basis as required. The Group Reputational Risk Committee (GRRC) reviews cases with a Group wide impact and in exceptional circumstances, those that could not be resolved at a regional level. The Head of NFRM is responsible for ensuring the oversight, governance and coordination of the management of reputational risk of Deutsche Bank.
