Your bank has room for improvement on climate responsibility.
Industrial Bank is a community bank that provides banking services to individual consumers, small-and middle-market businesses, and government agencies in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan market.
Because it only lends to small and medium-sized enterprises, the risk of it lending to fossil fuel companies is low.
We would like the bank to start measuring its greenhouse gas emissions, put a clear policy in place that it will not lend to the fossil fuel industry and start offering "green" products, such as preferential rates for mortgages on energy efficient homes.
Bank.Green believes that mass movements will pull us out of the climate crisis – and they’ll pull your bank out, too.
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.
Banks live and die on their reputations. Mass movements of money to fossil-free competitors puts those reputations at grave risk. By moving your money to a sustainable financial institution, you will:
Send a message to your bank that it must defund fossil fuels
Join a fast-growing movement of consumers standing up for their future
Take a critical climate action with profound effects
