ANZ is a major sponsor of the Australian Open: a cultural highlight that promotes fitness, community, and the importance of getting outside. ANZ is also a funding new and expansionary coal, oil or gas projects, which are turbocharging the climate crisis and putting our sports at risk.

This is not a game. ANZ has a climate problem.

Due to increasing heatwaves, the Open and other matches are at risk of cancellation, our champions and fans at risk of heatstroke.

They need to hear from you that you want to see ANZ shift the billions of dollars they are responsible for out of burning and digging fossil fuels and into solutions that will protect us from droughts, floods and heatwaves.

To ANZ:

"As concerned citizens, customers, shareholders, and employees, we call on ANZ to stop financing the digging and burning of fossil fuels. The first steps are:

  1. divesting from thermal coal by 2030 or earlier;
  2. divesting from oil & gas in line with the Paris climate agreement;
  3. not investing in new or expansion coal, gas & oil projects.

Burning fossil fuels is the biggest driver of climate damage. We are concerned about the climate crisis and want action."

As an ANZ customer I request that you seriously consider moving from fossil fuel investments to address our climate emergency. This is urgent and I request that you consider your valued customers by addressing the seriousness of the significant impact the fossil fuel industry is having on all our communities.

I am disappointed that as a major Australian business, you have still not undertaken to fully divest yourselves from the polluting coal industry within any specified time period. I request that you do so, thus improving your reputation for working towards a brighter future for us all, especially for our children and grand-children.

I have been an ANZ customer for many years and am appalled to hear about this. Come on ANZ, quit the spin and stop financing fossil fuels. Your shareholders, staff and customers all live in a world that bears the consequnces of climate change. If nothing else, do it for them!
