Erste Group Bank AG

Last Rated in Nov 2025

Your bank has room for improvement on climate responsibility.

Erste still finances the fossil fuel industry. However, it's not involved in funding new infrastructure, has an exclusion policy in place and funds renewable energy projects. It also has emission reduction targets for each energy-intensive sector it finances.

Move Your Money

We'd like to see the bank tighten its exclusion policy because it has some gaps, e.g. in connection with metallurgical coal.

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.
