Your bank is climate responsible.
Investec is playing its part in the clean energy transition. It now funds significantly more renewable energy than fossil fuels.
It has a policy stating it will not finance mountain top removal mining (already phased out) and thermal coal (by 2030). It has also committed not to finance any new oil and gas extraction, exploration, or production from 1 January 2035.
We'd like to see the effective date of this policy to be brought forward - 2035 is too late.
Investec 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.
Bank.Green was 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. Considering who you bank with, we think you probably agree. This is your chance to spread the word with us.
We can’t say it better than environmentalist Bill McKibben: “Money is the oxygen on which the fire of global warming burns.” But don’t wait for the fire department to turn up – join us!
