FirstRand
Your bank is climate responsible.
FirstRand is playing its part in the clean energy transition. It now funds more renewable energy than fossil fuels, and fossil fuel lending accounted for only 1.5% of total lending at June 30, 2024.
It has a policy stating it will not finance new coal-fired power stations. We'd like to see this policy cover all extraction and processing of coal, oil & gas. And we'd like it to accelerate the rate of transition.
FirstRand has measured greenhouse gas emissions enabled by its lending and has set targets.
We would like it to see offering loans for home renewable energy solutions, purchase of electric vehicles and similar "green" consumer products.
