Your money may be funding the climate crisis.
Bank of Hawaii is a regional commercial bank headquartered in Honolulu. It is Hawaii's second oldest bank and its largest financial institution. The bank provides a range of personal and business banking services, including checking and savings accounts, mortgages, home equity loans, credit cards, and personal loans.
Bank of Hawaii's exposure to the fossil fuel industry is limited. It has committed $150m (1% of its lending portfolio) to supporting renewable energy projects. We would like to see the bank put in place a clear policy of not lending to fossil fuel companies, measure its greenhouse gas emissions and set science-based targets.
Bank.Green believes that mass movements will pull us out of the climate crisis – and they’ll pull your bank out, too.
We were founded on the belief that banks have had an easy time from their customers for too long. Our mission is to encourage as many people as possible to take a stand - to refuse to let their money fuel environmental destruction any longer. Join us in building this movement by pressuring your bank to do better, or by taking your money to somewhere that cares about our planet's future.
Banks live and die on their reputations. Mass movements of money to fossil-free competitors puts those reputations at grave risk. By moving your money to a sustainable financial institution, you will:
Send a message to your bank that it must defund fossil fuels
Join a fast-growing movement of consumers standing up for their future
Take a critical climate action with profound effects
