Deutsche Bank has the worst environmental, social and governance score of any major European bank, putting the embattled German lender towards the bottom of a list of more than 6,700 global companies.

Deutsche’s score — 30.76 out of a possible 100 — was dragged down by poor corporate governance in particular, according to Financial News analysis of data provided by quant fund manager Arabesque.
