#ICYMI New data reveals 3 in 5 people across Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia expect “no coal” to actually mean no coal, when it comes to bank finance. Yet despite their own coal exclusion policies, banks like OCBC, UOB, DBS, Maybank and CIMB are still pouring millions into industrial coal plants.

In a move that could empower Australian consumers, new laws will force companies to declare their #climate risk. “It's an important step forward. Super funds will be watching closely,” Will van de Pol, chief executive at Market Forces told @choiceaustralia.bsky.social. #auspol

#SaveScottReef 🪸 Browse LNG threatens an ancient marine paradise home to vibrant corals, pygmy blue whales, sharks, rays, and endangered green turtles. These creatures don't have a voice, but we do. 🐋 It's time for Mitsubishi and Mitsui to #ExitBrowse.

HANDS OFF SCOTT REEF 🌊🪸 David Attenborough said it best: "If we save the sea, we save our world." We've joined this plea and held actions with @greenpeaceap.bsky.social across Australia to call on #Mitsubishi and #Mitsui (MIMI) to #SaveScottReef and withdraw from Browse LNG. Here's why 👇 1/6

“There’s overwhelming concern about #climate change in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia and most people agree that rapidly ending coal mining and power will protect us from dangerous global warming.” – Bernadette Maheandiran, Asia Energy Finance Director at Market Forces

Macquarie has tripled its financing for coal, oil and gas and scored a BIG FAIL, a "D" for unstructured execution of assessing transition. Over 160 shareholder want Macquarie to disclose how its fossil fuel funding's aligned with global climate goals. www.financialstandard.com.au/news/macquar...

“Shareholders are asking: how can #Macquarie claim to support the Paris Agreement while backing companies pursuing massive new fossil fuel expansion? It can’t do both.” – Morgan Pickett, banks analyst at Market Forces 🔗 www.marketforces.org.au/macquarie-su... #climate #macquariebank

"Calling it nickel financing while the coal keeps burning is a choice about what to count and what to hide. The public is sick and tired of this deception and greenwashing by the banks," Indonesia Energy Finance Campaigner Ginanjar Ariyasuta writes for @thediplomat.com. #climate #southeastasia

Indonesians show stronger support for a rapid coal phaseout and are the most likely to consider changing banks over coal financing compared to neighbouring Malaysia and Singapore, new research from Market Forces and YouGov reveals. #climate

More than 7 in 10 people across #Singapore, #Malaysia and #Indonesia believe banks should not finance companies that worsen #climate change, a new @yougov.co.uk and Market Forces survey finds – the first of its kind conducted in multiple countries across the region. 1/5 🧵

Macquarie's climate credibility is up in smoke, as disclosures reveal it has tripled finance for oil and gas in the past four years! theaustralian.com.au/business%2Ft...

“Fossil fuels are becoming increasingly expensive, and the Iran war is putting a magnifying glass around that. So electrification and fuel switching, underpinned by renewable electricity, is something that we want to drive towards.” Rio Tinto has responded after AGM questions from Market Forces.

Catherine and her father banked with ANZ all their lives. Then in 2023, she launched legal action against the bank — changing the course of history. “I was concerned ANZ were not properly managing the risks of #climate change and biodiversity loss, which they are obliged to do.”

Farallon is a major financial backer of Whitehaven Coal. Its former CEO is running in California. “Farallon Capital has bailed out #coal mining companies in Australia and enabled the continuation and expansion of coal mining,” Will van de Pol, chief executive at Market Forces told @nytimes.com.

Former oil and gas executives say it’s time to end support for fossil fuels and urgently accelerate renewable energy. #ANZ and #Westpac must listen: it's time to end funding for companies pursuing new #coal, #oil and #gas

Cate Cooper has been with @AustralianSuper since 2008. But in the last 12 months, the fund backflipped on coal, purchasing $400 million in Whitehaven shares – so Cate left. Other members are considering the same move, as concerns grow over greenwashing. #climate #superannuation

“Woodside's board must listen to investors fed up with the company’s decision-making,” Market Forces senior analyst Brett Morgan told ABC News. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04... #climate #woodside #superannuation

“This is a deeply flawed executive pay structure,” Market Forces senior analyst Brett Morgan told media. “Woodside's own modelling concludes the company could be cashflow negative as early as 2031 if global LNG demand declines in line with the Paris Agreement.” #climate #oilandgas

🍃春の訪れとともに、ガバナンスに新しい風を吹かせます🍃 未だに気候変動や人権リスクが解消されない日本のメガバンクや商社に対し、私たちは株主として、長期的で持続可能な成長を支える取締役会を求めます。ガバナンスが新時代を迎える今、信頼できる取締役会のために「反対票」を投じませんか？ #climate @foejapan.bsky.social @350japan.bsky.social @kikonet.org

⏰ Ring ring — Governance wakeup call! 🍃 Spring is here in #Japan, and it's time for megabanks and trading houses to wake up on governance! Investors deserve boards that support long-term, sustainable growth. Vote NO to directors who aren't doing their job 🙅 #climate @jessharwoodart.bsky.social

With BHP and Mitsubishi reviewing their massive QLD coal mining operations, their bankers — #MUFG, #SMBC and #Mizuho being the biggest — must stop undermining their #climate commitments and refuse any further finance until these companies publicly rule out their giant proposed expansion projects.

We're calling upon investors in Japan’s three largest banks and three major trading firms to vote against directors — for failing to recognise ​and manage the risks posed by investments in fossil fuel production. Read more in @reuters.com. #climate #japan #investment

The energy crisis is hitting Bangladesh’s 177 million people hard, and the country is now at a crossroads. Experts have been urging the government to end dependence on imported coal and gas in favour of reliable renewables. #bangladesh #climate #energy @thediplomat.com

Santos is facing backlash from major international investors at its AGM today. “A vote against the incumbent member of the audit committee is warranted because the company is not aligned with investor expectations on net zero by 2050 targets and commitments,” Storebrand said. #climate

MEDIA RELEASE: Four of the world’s biggest investors have voted against the re-election of Santos directors or gas growth aligned executive payments as First Peoples, Market Forces and shareholders urge the company to end risky fossil fuel expansion plans. #climate #auspol #santos

Japan’s pro-gas agenda is feeling riskier than ever. Now is the time for the Albanese government to reject the influence of Japanese fossil fuel lobbyists & to tax gas exports. Read more here ⬇️

Meet Joseph and Meg – two PNG community representatives fighting to protect their lands in the face of a massive gas project involving controversial oil and gas producer Santos. Can you chip in and help cover the costs to get them to Santos’ AGM next week? 🌳 #climate #humanrights

Oil and gas giant Santos has paid less than one cent in corporate income tax for every dollar of sales in the last 10 years. In that time, it made $41 billion in revenue from its Australian operations. #auspol #climate

"Now, more than ever, investors need gas companies to be completely upfront about the fundamentals of projects they want to bring into this rapidly shifting and increasingly risky global gas market." Is Australia's largest gas pipeline company, APA Group, letting investors down? #auspol #climate

MEDIA RELEASE: New analysis reveals Australian oil and gas company, Santos, is contributing to nearly quadrupled gas prices on the East Coast of the country by prioritising the sale of its fossil fuels overseas, adding to cost of living pressures. www.marketforces.org.au/new-analysis...

Browse LNG = costly, highly polluting, and a grave risk to Western Australia's ancient Scott Reef. 🐋🪸 Tell Mitsubishi and Mitsui & Co to exit Browse and invest in a safe renewable energy future instead: www.marketforces.org.au/campaigns/pr... #climate #auspol #browseLNG

We've lodged a formal complaint against APA Group @insideapa.bsky.social regarding the #Beetaloo Basin gas fracking development in the Northern Territory. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03... #auspol #climate

Macquarie has been a little shy 👉👈 … but we know deep down it's just as proud of the billions of tonnes of emissions its financing as it is about doing climate action 🫠 So today we surprised them with an award. 🎖️ #auspol #climate #macquariebank #beetaloo

Big news: Mining and metals giant Rio Tinto has announced it favours renewables over gas and coal for its major aluminium smelter.

The New South Wales Government has announced it will no longer allow new greenfield #coal mines - though it will allow expansions. It's time for all banks and super funds to end support for new coal! #nswpol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

AustralianSuper – the biggest shareholder in Whitehaven Coal, owning nearly $1 billion in shares – doesn't seem too keen on accepting this gift... 🤔 If you don't want new coal #AustralianSuper: make sure you tell Whitehaven! #climate #auspol

The Net Zero Asset Managers scheme has been watered down, seemingly in response to US politics. It now risks becoming "a greenwashing exercise for climate laggards," says Brett Morgan, Australian Campaigns Manager at Market Forces. #NZAM #climate www.ignitesasia.com/lead/enroll/...

Indonesia's Harita Nickel Group has scrubbed key coal power disclosures from its website following a complaint we lodged to the Singapore Exchange about potential misleading conduct by OCBC bank in funding Harita. Singapore’s regulators need to investigate. www.eco-business.com/news/indones...

Leaders at Australia's biggest oil and gas company, Woodside must end new fossil fuels for a liveable #climate. “The leadership change at Woodside presents a key opportunity for the company to change course and rein in its risky and polluting oil and gas expansion plans,” - Analyst Brett Morgan.

Do we know where our super funds are putting our money? Funds invest billions in new fossil fuels. "Many of the companies that super funds often invest in can create significant harms for the climate,” Brett Morgan in @australia.theguardian.com #climate #energy www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

And the award for fracking and f**king our future goes to… #APA GROUP! #UASolutionsSummit Spoiler alert: making #climate change worse is not a solution for Australia’s future. 🙃 #auspol

Big polluter Woodside's own modelling shows it could be operating in the red within five years, under a net zero energy transition scenario. This should raise major alarm bells at #HESTA and #AustralianSuper, which have members' retirement savings invested in Woodside.

We've lodged a formal SGX complaint against Singapore bank #OCBC for potential misleading conduct over finance enabling industrial coal power plants in Indonesia. #climate

It's time for all #superannuation funds to come completely clean on their fossil fuel investments. Australian Treasury says about half of Australians would consider investing sustainably, but presently only one in five does. #auspol #climate
