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:
- divesting from thermal coal by 2030 or earlier;
- divesting from oil & gas in line with the Paris climate agreement;
- 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."

You can stop it by divesting from coal & gas investments. You have a duty to humanity and the planet. Think of the future generations and the outcomes of your present approach. Thank you.
It’s extremely disappointing to long-standing customers such as myself that the ANZ is the only big bank which has not committed to divesting from thermal coal. Our future hangs in the balance. Many of us will be reconsidering our ANZ holdings.
Fossil fuels are just that…old fossils!
Come on ANZ – you know what to do – Divest from Fossil Fuels Urgently.
This what Pope Francis said 5 years ago – in 2015:
We know that technology based on the use of highly polluting fossil fuels – especially coal,
but also oil and to a lesser degree gas – needs to be progressively replaced without delay.

Quality organisations provide good leadership which does not compromise profits. Lend to green initiatives
As an ANZ client for over 40 years I do commit to our planet and will divest from climate damaging enterprise ie fossil Fuels.
Divestment from all fossil fuels is today’s issue not 2030 or 2050.
Act now to deserve the loyalty of your customers and shareholders Otherwise we will move to an ethical bank.
