En række ngo-er, herunder BankTrack, har netop udgivet en omfattende rapport, der kortlægger internationale storbankers finansiering af den fossile industri.
I rapporten udnævnes JPMorgan Chase som den største klimaskurk. Siden 2016 har den amerikanske storbank ydet finansiering til den fossile sektor for 431 milliarder dollar. Til sammenligning noteres Danske Bank i samme periode for en finansiering til den fossile industri på 15 milliarder dollar.
I rapporten fremhæves Danske Bank som værende med i førerfeltet på klimaområdet: ”Banks appear to have reached a plateau with their policies, which, taken as a whole, remain too weak to tackle oil and gas expansion. Only La Banque Postale and Danske Bank have the best policies”
Og videre: “Last year’s report found that only a few banks strengthened their fossil fuel exclusion policies. This trend continued, with only nine of the 60 banks significantly strengthening their fossil fuel exclusion policies in 2023. Among these, Danske Bank represents the highest ambition; it excluded finance for oil and gas exploration and production companies with expansion plans.”
