Growing up in Hong Kong, twins Pang Yuk Shing and Pang Yuk Lam, 17, were quite a handful. “They were full of energy, like most boys,” recalls their mother, Elaine. “But their autism made it harder to find activities to calm them down.” Listening to music had a soothing effect, but it wasn’t enough to channel their energy.

Then, in 2009, a teacher introduced the twins to the school choir, which revealed a hidden passion for music. Encouraged, Yuk Lam started playing the violin, an instrument that requires focus and discipline to master. Watching his brother practice inspired Yuk Shing to take up the instrument too.

In 2016, the boys won a Deutsche Bank- sponsored music scholarship to train with

Deutsche Bank’s global corporate social responsibility strategy involves identifying the most relevant local concerns around the world. Here in Asia Pacific, that means improving the livelihoods of vulnerable communities.

Through the Born to Be and Made for Good programmes and local In the Community projects, we focus on education and engagement, enterprise, and building strong and inclusive communities. These are supported by Plus You, our platform of employee volunteering and giving.

“I’m especially proud of the contribution we have made to the communities where we operate,” says Werner Steinmueller, Chief Executive Officer, Deutsche Bank, Asia Pacific. “Asia will continue to play a key role for our company. As we grow, our aim is to do even more to have a positive impact on the lives of the disadvantaged and marginalised.”

Deutsche Bank is helping to provide basic amenities, education and training, as well as supporting people’s aspirations to let their natural talents shine. •

the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra of Hong Kong (MYO). Weekly training sessions have broadened their music knowledge and experience. They also gained exposure to a different culture when they accompanied MYO to Vienna, Austria, on a summer music tour.

There have also been wider benefits. “Playing in the orchestra has made my boys more confident when it comes to communicating with new people,” says Elaine. “Thanks to the scholarship, I see many opportunities for them in the future and that makes my heart soar.” •myohk.comdb.com/asia/borntobe

Education A solid foundation

Education Boosting motivation

For the children who live there, the Nur Zaharah Welfare Home is everything. Launched in 2005, it offers shelter, education and other basic needs to children who have been abused or abandoned by impoverished families.

Deutsche Bank (Malaysia) Berhad has supported the welfare home since 2007, when it burnt down. The bank donated renovation funds, and organised volunteer staff members to clean and paint.

Since then, we have contributed funds via our Born to Be programme to help Nur Zaharah manage its resource centre and build a sports facility and car park shed. Our volunteers also regularly conduct English lessons for the children and join them in organic farming activities.

“2017 is our tenth year of supporting Nur Zaharah Welfare Home. It is also Deutsche Bank Malaysia’s 50th anniversary. Both are significant milestones,” says Deutsche Bank Malaysia’s Chief Operating Officer, Elaine Liew. “Our relationship with the Home has deep roots – a reflection of our broader commitment to the country.” •

Christa, 11, no longer lives with her abusive stepfather. “I stay in a safe place now, but the picture of my stepdad hitting my mum stays in my mind even at school,” she says. “That’s why I love sports – it keeps my mind off family problems.”

Christa’s sporting prowess stood her in good stead last year when she was selected for a new programme at the Mauritius Cycling Academy that offers cycling training to at-risk youngsters.

The programme is a collaboration between the Fédération Mauricienne de Cyclisme and the non-profit Service d’Accompagnement, de Formation, d’Insertion et de Réhabilitation de l’Enfant (SAFIRE), which works with vulnerable children. Deutsche Bank is funding the project as part of its Born to Be programme.

“I’m very happy with the training,” says Christa. “I’m currently focusing on my road cycling skills. Mountain biking will be the next step.”

She also says the programme teaches her discipline. “I must plan my time after school to be ready for training,” she explains. “It is tiring sometimes with homework but I enjoy it. Getting better at cycling helps me feel motivated to try hard, move forward and improve my life.” •

A team of riders from the bank’s Mauritius offices takes part annually, clocking hours of training. The children in the programme will also participate in the 2017 edition of the Cycle Tour.

Enterprise Providing skills and self-worth

Enterprise Social impact

Since 2016, as part of its Made for Good programme, Deutsche Bank has supported a remarkable stall for second-hand books at Singapore’s Ng Teng Fong General Hospital. Part of an initiative run by Project Dignity, a social enterprise that gives employment, training and dignity to people with disabilities, the ‘Dignity Mama’ stall is managed by five young people with special needs and their mums.

“‘Mama’ stalls are a Singaporean variant of the traditional ‘Mom ‘n’ Pop’ all-purpose store,” says Koh Seng Choon, Project Dignity’s Executive Director. “So far, we have three ‘Dignity Mama’ stalls island-wide, all located in hospitals, selling pre-loved donated books and fresh-made baked goods.”

Why hospitals? “Many of the youngsters we support battle very high stress levels as part of their condition – these locations offer a safe, calming environment,” explains Seng Choon. Running the stalls also builds entrepreneurship skills and gives the young people dignity and confidence. As an added bonus, their mothers can earn money while caring for their offspring. “In many ways, they are just as much the beneficiaries as their children,” he says. •dignitykitchen.sgdb.com/madeforgood

Through our global enterprise programme Made for Good, Deutsche Bank encourages business ideas that benefit communities all over the world.

Friends-International is a social enterprise that works with marginalised young people living in urban areas. It runs income-generating businesses – including several successful training restaurants – to support its programmes.

Deutsche Bank has contributed funds to help Peuan Peuan, Friends-International’s Thailand programme, set up Khanun, a training restaurant in Bangkok.

“Peuan Peuan helps vulnerable youth find gainful employment in the Thai hospitality industry after they complete up to two years

of vocational training at Khanun,” explains Nikolai Schwarz, Friends-International’s Head of Social Business.

“Right now, we have four trainees immersed in every aspect of restaurant operations, from customer service to kitchen work.”

Kaew, 19, is one of these trainees. Kaew always dreamed of a hospitality career, but her parents are in debt and cannot support her. Now her dream is within reach.

“You need discipline to meet Khanun’s high standards,” she says. “But I am determined to work hard and learn so I can open my own bakery by the time I am 25.” •friends-international.org

What’s cooking?

More than 1 million guests have been served since the opening of the first training restaurant supported by Friends-International in 2011.

250 students, at any given moment are in training for cooking and service as well as general education, life skills and job readiness.

USD 2.6 million in sales is generated each year. All profits are reinvested into the programmes of the operating social enterprises.

In the Community Medical aid

PlusYou Employee volunteering and giving

As a junior resident doctor in Singapore in 1996, retinal surgeon Associate Professor Ian Yeo spent time aboard the Flying Eye Hospital, learning from renowned ophthalmologists from around the world. Managed by Orbis International, a non-profit organisation that tackles avoidable blindness in developing countries, the Flying Eye Hospital partners with local hospitals to run medical missions on board an aircraft. Because the aircraft also houses teaching facilities, its medical team can share their specialist skills with local medical professionals.

Associate Professor Yeo never forgot his experiences with the Flying Eye Hospital. Last year, he jumped at the chance to ‘pay it forward’ by joining a mission to Shenyang, China.

“During our three-week trip, patients who cannot afford treatment got the operations they needed,” says Associate Professor Yeo. “Meanwhile, local healthcare professionals were invited on board to learn. By training and teaching them, we were able to inspire them to continue to improve.”

Deutsche Bank has been collaborating with Orbis since 2014, sponsoring the Flying Eye Hospital’s missions in China, Indonesia and Vietnam. •sgp.orbis.org

Seeds of changeEmployees lend a hand – and give their motivation a boost

Our employees’ commitment to helping others demonstrates the innate desire we all have to make a positive impact on the communities we live and work in. Novie, a Deutsche Bank Indonesia employee, regularly shares her professional and life skills as a corporate volunteer through Plus You, our employee volunteering and fundraising scheme.

“Recently, I volunteered at West Java’s The Learning Farm (TLF), helping in the fields. It was hard work, but therapeutic and I learned a lot about organic farming,” she explains.

As part of our Born to Be programme, Deutsche Bank sponsors students – vulnerable youth – to learn new skills at TLF.

“It’s hugely rewarding to volunteer,” Novie says. “I feel extra motivated when I‘m back at work.” •thelearningfarm.com

Through Plus You Deutsche Bank helps people contribute to causes close to their hearts.

Employees of Deutsche Bank Australia have raised more than AUD 500,000 through their Christmas Charity Drive since 2008, with the bank matching funds where possible.

Last Christmas, employees raised AUD 40,000 for the Wayside Chapel community centre and Children’s Cancer Institute Australia.

“Christmas is when people are really up for doing something fun,” says Communications

& CSR officer Camilla Herring. “So, while we encouraged donations, we also held a raffle, trivia night, sausage sizzle and more.”

What’s Camilla’s advice for getting employees involved? “The fact that senior management wholeheartedly endorses our efforts is really important. Also, be clear about where the money is going and the impact it will have. And stress that no matter how modest the amounts raised, it all adds up. Together we can make a difference!” •
