Raiffeisen Bank International has been earning record profits in Russia's war economy for three and a half years. CEO Johann Strobl has spent most of that time pledging that RBI will exit Russia. This is how much is left of that pledge: www.bloomberg.com/news/article... @b4ukraine.org @attac.at

The new Chairman of "FutureCoal" penned a whining open letter calling on global financial leaders to stop discriminating against his industry. The finance sector should take care not to fall for it. @justsharesa.bsky.social justshare.org.za/mailpoet/fut...

New data shows deadly heatwaves are 10,000 times more likely due to just 180 companies – including #ANZ, #NAB and #Westpac clients Santos, Woodside, BP, TotalEnergies, BHP, Glencore, and INPEX. Australians are paying the price – the big banks must cut ties with carbon majors. #auspol #climate

Yesterday, the CEO of Barclays outright threatened to cut jobs and reduce UK investment if the government taxed banks in the Budget. But it's already doing both of those things. Tell the Chancellor not to let banks hold our economy to ransom 👉 bit.ly/TaxTheBanks

CEOs of top 6 U.S. banks financing fossil fuels made a combined profit of over half a bn dollars from 2022 to 2024. We need an end to fossil fuels & an end to the super-rich profiting whilst we suffer. This Sept, we will #DrawTheLine & build pressure to make billionaires pay! drawtheline.world

"Financial backers of Santos, including nearly every major Australian bank and super fund, cannot afford to ignore the company's escalating environmental and #climate damage." – Will van de Pol, Market Forces CEO

Live data on new bank underwriting for 35 companies with the biggest fossil fuel expansion plans. Around over half of all coal, oil, and gas financing comes from bond issuances. #FossilBanksNoThanks

It's clear: Labour must #TaxTheBanks in the Autumn Budget. Check out our proposal for a windfall tax on bank profits to learn more 👉 positivemoney.org/uk/update/ho...

Producing nickel with coal power is causing a staggering amount of #climate pollution, and #Indonesia knows it. But here's the economic reality: coal-fired power is more expensive and riskier than renewable energy. It's high time Indonesian banks recognise that, and stop financing it.

The latest report from @forestsandfinance.bsky.social reveals the financing flowing to energy transition minerals like lithium & cobalt. Banks & investors must stop funding extraction that harms people & the planet! Read more here: https://tinyurl.com/MiningReport2025 #JustTransition #JustFinance

🚨 This week, the oil & gas company behind @greenpeace.org’s SLAPP lawsuit, issued two bonds totaling US$ 2 billion with the help of banks like Barclays, Deutsche Bank, Société Générale and Crédit Agricole. Why do we raise the alarm about this financial support to Energy Transfer? ⤵️

What if we could get ALL banks to pay reparations for the thousands of fossil fuel projects they've financed that have polluted our air & water, threatened our health & safety, and forced us into the deadly climate crisis? 🤔 #PollutersPay #DefundClimateChaos https://bit.ly/47gDlsG

🚨 Today, Crédit Agricole, Santander and Barclays renewed their support for fossil fuel expansion, by helping Sempra raise US$800 million on the bond market. 📣 Banks serious about their climate commitments must stop providing any financial services, including bonds, to such companies.

Our latest #BankingOnClimateChaos report found that 64 global banks poured $869 BILLION into fossil fuels in 2024 alone. Meanwhile, the CEOs of the top 6 fossil fuel banks earned a combined half-BILLION dollars from 2022-2024. We demand an end to profit over people! https://bit.ly/4fYu8rh

🚨 New research from @b4ukraine.org, Squeezing Putin, and the KSE Institute finds that international banks handed over >$1.2 billion in tax revenues to the Kremlin in 2024. That's enough to finance over 65,000 contract soldiers for the Russian army. b4ukraine.org/pdf/B4Ukrain...

Recommended read. Australians are living through extreme events now that were meant to be decades away – we cannot, as a nation, keep dragging our feet on this conversation. It's also long overdue for our big banks to stop financing the crisis. #auspol #climate

Corporations and banks are destroying lives: poisoning communities, fueling genocide and war, and bankrolling climate collapse. Gulf South communities are just one of many being impacted. And their fighting back 💪 https://insideclimatenews.org/news/12082025/new-york-city-gulf-coast-protests/

Blackrock, Citi, and Chubb are financing industries that are destroying lives – from fossil fuels to military tech.

“As a mother, I see a safe future for my children getting further and further out of reach. As a health professional, I understand the health impacts of climate change. We do not need any new gas fields in Australia, and #Macquarie Bank should not be financing any new projects.”

#SteelNewsWatch 📢Last month, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) released new guidance for the finance sector confirming that financing companies expanding metallurgical coal (met coal) mines is NOT compatible with climate science. This matters! 1/4
