HSBC and Barclays are climate criminals

It’s a climate crime scene!!
Funding fossil fuels has been HSBC’s dirty little secret.

Strip away the slick greenwashing and you find that they are the second biggest funders of fossil fuel companies in Europe.

They are bankrolling the climate crisis and they have been pulling the wool over their customers’ eyes for years.

HSBC has invested over £65billion in the destruction of our climate and the pollution of our ecosystems since the 2015 Paris Agreement was signed.

This agreement by world leaders working together to supposedly create measures to limit global warming is being totally ignored by the financial institutions that fund this ecocide!

It’s time to make a change – move your money to more ethical banks.
