Your bank has room for improvement on climate responsibility.
Discovery does not have commercial lending so the risk of it financing the fossil fuel sector is limited to its insurance activities.
The bank does finance renewable energy solutions for homes.
We would like to see the bank measure the greenhouse gas emissions enabled by its lending.
We would also like to see it include these emissions in the scope of its climate targets.
And we'd like to see the bank put in place a policy stating that it will not lend to fossil fuel companies.
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.
