Your money is being used to fund renewable energy projects at scale!
Webster Bank is a commercial bank based in Stamford, Connecticut. It focuses on delivering financial solutions to businesses, individuals, and families. Webster Bank has branches and ATMs located primarily in Connecticut and Massachusetts. Webster Financial Corporation, the parent company of Webster Bank, is a regional financial services company listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Webster Bank has limited exposure to the fossil fuel sector and it has a good track record of lending to renewable energy projects. We would like the bank to put in place a clear exclusion policy, measure its financed emissions (emissions associated with its lending) and set science-based climate targets.
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!
