BayernLB
Last Rated in Apr 2025
Your bank has room for improvement on climate responsibility.
BayernLB has historical fossil fuel lending, although at the end of 2023 55.6% of its commercial energy portfolio was renewable energy lending. BayernLB exclusion policy is weak and enables the bank to fund expansion activities in the future.
BayernLB has measured emissions enabled by its lending and has set a long-term decarbonization goal. We would like to see it set short-term sectoral goals and monitor progress against them.
We would also like to see it significantly improve its exclusion policies that currently have many loopholes.
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.
