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."

ANZ, please stop financing the digging and burning of fossils that wreck our climate. You are by far the worst climate polluter of the big 4 banks #ANZClimateProblem

We’ve long believed ANZ’s core values were aligned with our own. News that ANZ supports investment in 19th-century fossil fuels is a sad reflection on recent changes in ANZ’s banking practices. It’s time the ANZ joined Australia’s other large banks… and divested itself of thermal coal, oil and gas.

It makes economic and reputational sense to change this as well as moral sense. Just do it! Or every senior manager look your kids in the face and tell them you trashed the planet for a quick return

I have been an ANZ customer for over 20 years but I am now planning on changing banks because of ANZ’s investments in climate damaging thermal coal, gas and oil.

At the moment i have some ANZ shares. However I will be watching to see what happens with ANZ policy re investing in fossil fuels and requesting my financial advisor to get rid of these if there is no better decision made very soon by ANZ management.

Your actions show a lack of respect for the inhabitants of our planet, please stop funding fossil fuels.

News item 29th October 2020 “TAI report reveals climate change worrying more Australians than ever before” (https://econews.com.au/65660/tai-report-reveals-climate-change-worrying-more-australians-than-ever-before/ ) seems to be a very clear message to ANZ, its directors, senior staff and its owners.
