Green League Table: US Banks (2024)
Updated November 1, 2024 by Zak GottliebOur latest league table offers an independent assessment of how well 90 of the largest US banks by total assets align with the transition to a sustainable future. Based on public disclosures and independent research, we’ve evaluated each bank according to several climate-related metrics, with their funding of the energy sector being a key factor. While this ranking reflects our informed opinion, it is grounded in transparent, objective data and thorough analysis based on our methodology. Our aim is to help consumers and other stakeholders make more informed decisions by highlighting banks that are leading the way — and those that are falling behind — in supporting climate-friendly financial practices.

In addition to the largest US banks, we rated 29 other institutions, some of which were included at the request of our website visitors, while others were curated by us as exemplary institutions aligned with our climate values. This latter group consists of smaller banks and credit unions that, while not among the largest by assets, collectively play a significant role in supporting sustainable banking practices across the United States. We plan to expand this list over time, incorporating both customer requests and institutions that meet our high standards for climate impact.
