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."

ANZ is investing in what will be future stranded assets. The writing’s on the wall. See sense and divest, and don’t expect to be bailed out!
I have bank accounts at ANZ & will move them to another bank unless you initiate a genuine attempt to reduce carbon emissions and divest completely from all fossil fuels – rather than announce token policy announcements (greenwash)
Please do more to save the planet
I am at this point in time a customer of ANZ. Whether I remain a customer will depend on how ANZ responds. I look forward to ANZs doing the correct thing and getting out of financing fosdil fuels. Iftheydonot I will be cancellingmy account.
As difficult as this may be, please get real about addressing climate change.
We urgently need you to stop financing the fossil fuels industry. This is something the banks should have stopped doing 10 years ago. Your bank is well overdue ceasing to finance an industry that is helping to destroy our planet for future generations.
Thanks for making an improvement, but please take it further.
