Barclays

United Kingdom

Barclays faces a major new OECD complaint over its links to the Rampal power plant, which threatens the Sunderbans, the world’s largest mangrove forest and a world heritage site (The Guardian).

ING

Netherlands

Evidence from Bank.Green's Watchtower tool found ING helped fossil fuel companies raise over $900 million in capital, in an apparent breach of its own recent policy to stop financing oil and gas companies that develop new fields. See Follow The Money.

OTP Bank

Hungary

At the end of September, Bloomberg reported that OTP Bank - the second largest international bank in Russia - had begun planning its exit from the country. The move will pile pressure on Austria's Raiffeisen to speed its own exit.

Standard Bank

South Africa

In Just Share's recent "How cool is your bank" report, Standard Bank remains the lowest-ranking of South Africa's banks, although its score has improved. It is also the only bank in the report with an energy portfolio largely weighted towards fossil fuels.
