ANZ has a climate problem. If ANZ is serious about its commitment to net zero emissions, it cannot keep lending to new or expanded coal, oil or gas projects, which are turbocharging the climate crisis. Yet since 2016, Market Forces research tells us, ANZ have loaned $2.5 billion to fossil fuel expansions. If built, these expansion projects would produce more than eight times Australia's entire domestic emissions.
Bushfires, drought – the climate crisis is here, now, and ANZ must do the right thing by all of us and shift the billions of dollars they are responsible for out of burning and digging fossil fuels like coal.
At this year's Annual General Meeting, it's time for ANZ to choose renewable energy, not more fossil fuels.

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 are killing us and everything we hold dear with your reckless funding of climate destroying projects. Stop now! It may already be too late
ANZ have the opportunity to make a huge positive impact on climate change action by swapping fossil fuel loans to CC action loans
Please support clean energy, and not fossil fuels
Please Stop financing companies who add to Climate Change.
Investing a bit in those who create will not offset the overwhelming damage caused by also investing in those who destroy.
Please stop supporting climate damage
Between us, my partner and I have at least 6 accounts with ANZ. Plus a couple of trusts I handle I’ve also moved to ANZ.
We both care deeply about the environment, about the world we are leaving behind for our children and grandchildren. We despair at the greed and profit prioritisation which companies such as ANZ demonstrate. Your promises to divest from fossil fuel investments in several decades are hollow promises. The crisis is now. By then it will simply be too late.
Act now or I am relocating my finances.
