The action came a day ahead of the annual shareholder meeting of DWS, which is mostly owned by Deutsche Bank and has drawn attention from activists and regulators over allegations it misled investors about “green” investments. DWS has disputed the claims. Deutsche Bank\n \n said sustainability and climate protection were “strategic priorities,” and that it supports DWS in the development of its sustainability policies and standards.
Last year, the chief executive of DWS stepped down after raids by prosecutors over the allegations of so-called “greenwashing.” The new DWS CEO, Stefan Hoops, plans to tell shareholders at Thursday’s meeting that DWS has been cooperating with investigations, according to prepared remarks posted on its website. The company also continues to stand by its financial disclosures and its fund prospectuses, Hoops will add.
