Last Rated in Sep 2024
Your bank has room for improvement on climate responsibility.
Your bank is one of the 60 biggest funders of fossil fuels in the world*. In the 9 years since the Paris Agreement, the banks in this category have funneled $5.5 trillion into coal, oil, and gas, rapidly accelerating the climate crisis.
While you’ve been stashing away money for a car or a weekend getaway, BMO has been using your savings to lend to some very questionable fossil fuel friends.
And it's not just a little here and there, we’re talking about $148 billion in the 9 years since 197 countries agreed to drastically reduce their greenhouse gas emissions in the Paris Agreement.
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.
