2016-11-01 00:00:00
Explanation

The scores for a bank's policies restricting expansion of fossil fuels - in each area, prohibitions against financing projects and/or companies expanding that area - are aggregated into a fossil fuel expansion policy score.

The point-based policy ranking for fossil fuel expansion consists of the following distribution:

  • Coal mining: 14 points​
  • Coal power: 14 points
  • Other coal: 7 points
  • Tar sands: 9 points
  • Arctic oil and gas: 9 points
  • Offshore oil and gas: 9 points
  • Fracked oil and gas: 9 points
  • LNG: 9 points
  • Other oil and gas: 9 points

A bank can obtain a total of 89 policy points for its fossil fuel expansion policy. Based on this score, banks are then classified as laggards (0-22.25 points), followers (22.25-44.5 points), front runners (44.5-66.75 points) or leaders (66.75-89 points).

Radio Munda Real interview of Paul Corbit Brown, from the Keepers of the Mountain Foundation

Friends of the Earth France are together with Action Aid France and CRID for the seventh year in 2014 organizing the “Sustainable Development Pinocchio Awards” and has nominated the company “Crédit Agricole” as one of the three companies in the category ”One for all, all for me!” – a category that is awarded to the company that has the most aggressive policy in terms of land grabbing, exploitation or destruction of natural resources. Crédit Agricole has been nominated for its financing of the destruction of the Appalachians Mountains.
