Allied Irish Bank has been increasing the amount of financing it provides to renewable energy projects while winding down its support for the fossil fuel sector. At the end of 2023, 4.3% of its loan book was financing renewable energy and only 0.49% fossil fuel industry.
The bank has a robust exclusion policy which states that by 2025, it will not provide new lending to companies engaged in the exploration and production of most types of fossil fuels, including fracking, as well as coal and oil-fired power generation.
AIB has measured greenhouse gas emissions enabled by its lending and has set targets over 75% of its lending as of 2021, including near-term (2030) targets. These targets have been independently validated.
AIB offers green mortgages.

We can’t say it better than environmentalist Bill McKibben: “Money is the oxygen on which the fire of global warming burns.” But don’t wait for the fire department to turn up – join us!
