Sydbank
Last Rated in Mar 2025
Your bank has room for improvement on climate responsibility.
Sydbank has not been fully transparent about its lending activities, so we cannot rule out that it finances fossil fuels. We know that 7% of its lending at the end of 2024 was to "industry and raw material extraction".
The bank does however have renewable energy lending. It has measured emissions enabled by its lending and it does offer green consumer products such as loans to buy EVs. However, its exclusion policy is very weak and full of loopholes.
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.
