🎯 ✅ Does your bank greenwash? Hint: If their only climate commitment is to go paperless, the answer is probably YES. Katherine explains classic cases of greenwashing by banks. As always, you can watch this series on the blog: bank.green/blog/climate...

Collective power is made up of individuals deciding to take action together. To adequately address the climate crisis, we need everyone making shifts—big and small, global and local. You (yes, YOU) can create pressure to phase out fossil fuels by using our online tools. Visit www.bank.green.

Happy summer to those in the Northern Hemisphere! Fossil fuel banks promised a summer hotter than ever & we want to give them the credit they deserve. So when you bask in record-breaking heat or feel the hurricane-like breeze through your hair, remember big banks’ commitment to making it happen. 🫠🔥

🎯 ✅ Are banks held accountable for keeping to their climate targets? Who by? Katherine Markova shares the unsung heroes helping banks make their money green. As always, if you find this clip useful, you can watch the full series on our blog: bank.green/blog/climate...

After decades of global acknowledgement of the climate crisis, why does the world still bet on fossil fuels? Why is climate finance still underpowered and misdirected? Here's the truth on the state of climate finance today. ⌛💰 #bankgreen #fossilfuels #climatechange #G20Summit

UK banks have been pouring billions into the development of “carbon bombs”—fossil fuel projects capable of pumping at least 1B tonnes of CO2 emissions over their lifetimes. If you don't want your money funding carbon bombs, use Bank.Green’s resources to check your bank & make the switch.

🎯 ✅ Taking credible climate action means setting ambitious, science-based targets. What does this look like for a bank? Katherine reveals the "gold standard" for a bank's climate targets. Find this clip useful? Find more on our website's blog page! bank.green/blog/climate...

On #WorldEnvironmentDay, here’s real climate progress: Swedbank cut nearly all fossil fuel financing. We rerated them from Good (Climate responsible) to Great (Leader in climate responsibility). Customer pressure works. Swedbank listened. Is your bank? bank.green #ClimateCrisis #FossilFreeFinance

Sound advice coming from Stand.earth (unsurprisingly, Santander doesn't rank well with us either!) "...instead of spending millions on marketing and greenwashing, they must stop financing the destruction of our planet. Maybe that’s even a better way to attract customers. "

🎯 ✅ New month, new topic. For June, we're talking targets. Ever get lost in the climate jargon? Bank.Green's got your back! Listen in as we talk about the targets that matter. Enjoy this clip? Head to our blog for our recent episodes! bank.green/blog/climate... #bankgreen #climatetargets

On Earth Day, we recall our mission to help people reclaim financial power & end the extractive practices exacerbating the climate crisis.
