Why These Banks? 

Banks that are good for the climate are good for people, too.

 

 

How we
vetted
institutions

All the financial institutions listed here have committed to not do business with any companies or projects engaging in fossil fuel extraction or infrastructure, via loans, share and bond underwriting, asset management, or advisory services.

This commitment means these institutions will not do business with the biggest oil, coal, and natural gas companies (also known as fossil fuel companies) that are accelerating climate change and polluting the air, water, and soil, literally making it harder for us to grow and breathe.

 

The banks listed on this platform share the same commitment; Not investing in fossil fuel extraction

How we
conducted
outreach

We carried out a European Union-wide market research and structured outreach by  starting with institutions that met one or more of the following criteria:

  • Have a fossil fuel free financing commitment (bare minimum for all listed financial institutions)
  • Hold a mission-aligned certification or designation (e.g. FEBEA,  B-Corp, GABV, EU Sustainable Banking Coalition)
  • Serve European Union member states

A quick note on
terminology

We use the term “banking” as a short way to talk about all the types of activities people do at banks, credit cooperatives, and other financial institutions, like maintaining deposit accounts, taking out a loan, or opening a credit card.
