Cairns Bank
Your bank has room for improvement on climate responsibility.
Cairns doesn't finance either fossil fuels or renewable energy companies.
We'd like to see it measure and disclosed greenhouse gas emissions enabled by its lending, set climate targets and start offering "green" products.
We would like to see the bank to put in place an explicit policy stating that it will not provide any financing to fossil fuel companies and projects.
Cairns Bank lacks transparency in reporting its environmental impact and does not provide information on its lending activities related to sustainability. Notably, it does not participate in initiatives like the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) or have emissions reduction targets. Improving sustainability practices could enhance the bank's rating.
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.
