"Union Investment, die Fondsgesellschaft der Volks- und Raiffeisenbanken, will ab 2025 die Förderung fossiler Energieträger aus ihren nachhaltigen Fonds ausschließen und in herkömmlichen Fonds schrittweise einschränken. Kohleförderung soll in nachhaltigen Produkten ab Januar tabu sein, die Förderung von Öl und Gas ab April."

New research by #ReclaimFinance: #ING is in the top-10 European banks financing companies that develop new oil&gas fields, even though it has been known since 2021 that that is not compatible with the #ParisAccord. A whopping 138 deals totalling more than US$11 billion #ClimateCrisis #BankierVanDeKlimaatcrisis https://reclaimfinance.org/site/en/2024/11/07/european-banks-and-transition-time-for-a-reality-check/

"Selling carbon offsets is deeply misguided. Offsets are unlikely to generate funds at the scale needed, and any offset transactions would negate the climate benefits from shutting down coal plants"

"European banks’ sectoral policies are too weak overall, as only four restrict financing to companies developing new oil and gas fields, and only one prohibits financing to LNG export terminal developers."

Why court cases and regulation are necessary: '70% of the 430 passive funds with sustainability claims analyzed invest in companies developing new coal, oil, or gas projects, such as Glencore, TotalEnergies and Shell' #ReclaimFinance #GreenFinance #Greenwashing https://reclaimfinance.org/site/en/2024/03/20/sustainable-claims-for-passive-funds-misleading-new-analysis-shows/

Interesting idea: 'Between strict divestment and complacent commitment, #ReclaimFinance is proposing a third way: halting the purchase of new bonds while using power as a shareholder to block companies’ climate-wreaking strategies'. The aggression of Exxon towards green shareholders makes you wonder whether it would work, though #Klimaatzaak #ClimateCrisis https://reclaimfinance.org/site/en/2024/02/13/between-lax-engagement-and-complete-divestment-is-there-a-third-way/

"the delegated acts has been reshaped by tremendous pressure from Member states and industry lobbies. The end result: the #EUTaxonomy opens the door to polluting activities and allows the #greenwashing it was supposed to prevent. Now, it is up to the European Parliament and European Council to reject this proposal that could sink the whole #EU Sustainable #Finance Strategy."
