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

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.

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."

Continuing to invest in fossil fuels over the long term undermines your social license to operate. It’s time to divest.

Shame on you ANZ…stop to support fossil fuel industries…. and start to support clean energy now.

I bank with ANZ but it is inconceivable that as a customer the organisation is apparently still committed to investing in coal. Surely they would be aware of the problems associated with climate change and global warming.
And this places questions about whether to continue doing business with them.

To the board and CEO. We all reap what we harvest. Step up ANZ before it costs you. Only fools think they will get away with doing the wrong thing.

Please stop financing the fossil fuel mining industry!
Invest in clean, renewable energy to protect the planet and safeguard our future.

My concern as a shareholder, is that all support for CO2 emissions should be withdrawn. A heavy price should be put on all such emissions.
