Extinction Rebellion (XR) UK | 📢 LIVE: This bank is dirty! 🔥 @ExtinctionRebellionUK | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 15 hours ago.
🌍 Extinction Rebellion and Money Rebellion have descended on HSBC's AGM in Birmingham to call out the bank's shameful climate policies.
💰 HSBC has invested $144b in fossil fuels since the Paris Agreement in 2016 and has made huge profits from destroying the planet. Last December the bank promised to stop funding new fossil fuel projects. Good news?
👉 The devil is in the details. HSBC pledged to stop investing in new oil and gas *projects* but it's continuing to pour billions into fossil fuel *companies* that are expanding fossil fuels. Meanwhile, its green bonds are being used to fund mines, oil rigs, pipelines, and deforestation. This is pure greenwash!
💪 We demand HSBC follow the example set by Danske Bank in Denmark and immediately stop offering refinancing and new long-term financing to oil and gas companies that continue to expand in fossil fuel infrastructure.
👉 HSBC's dirty secret must be exposed. No amount of greenwash can hide the fact that it is making record profits while bankrolling climate chaos. There are no banker bonuses on a dead planet.
