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.
Add your name to the petition.
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."

It’s time for you to stop investing in fossil fue industries.
While you still invest in these industries the planet ’s climate (which is already in a very bad way with extreme weather events and bushfires) will deteriorate further making life all but impossible for human kind.
Please stop lending money to those industries!!
Invest in sustainable energy instead.
I love my 4 yr old grandson
Selfish, narrow minded and out of touch!
You don’t deceive us. Stop investing in fossil fuels of all descriptions. Surely your decision-makers must have children and grandchildren of your own. Think of their future!
I’ve been with ANZ for years and wasn’t aware of this. If real and sincere changes aren’t made in response to this I’ll be closing all my ANZ accounts and transferring to another bank. The health and future of the environment is more important than profits- end of story.
Get real ANZ, stop funding climate wrecking fossil fuels.
Get rid of coal. This is shameful in 2020. Not acceptable.
Please stop destroying the planet and losing customers by you poor environmental ethics.
Fund our future, not fossil fuels.
It’s well and truly time fossil fuels were as dead as a dodo. STOP FUNDING ALL FOSSIL FUEL ACTIVITIES!!
Be our hero! Not the problem!
“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 ”
