Russia took the spotlight yet again at Raiffeisen's AGM yesterday. Protestors in the AGM and across Vienna demanded the bank finally ditch its Russia business and its ties with sanctioned entities. Read more: www.banktrack.org/article/raif... w/ @attac.at @b4ukraine.org @wemoveeurope.bsky.social

A terrible mistake from these five banks to finance #EACOP. But while the pipeline backers present this as a success, the $ amount raised is undisclosed, likely only a small part of the capital needed, and the project is still not fully financed. #StopEACOP www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Fossil fuels are a sinking ship. SMBC and MUFG are taking a dangerous gamble in leaving the global Net Zero Banking Alliance. Japan’s megabanks must reaffirm their net zero commitments instead of funding coal, oil and gas. #climate #japan @banktrack.bsky.social @ran-org.bsky.social
