How Bank.Green rates institutions
Last reviewed:
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.
