Förbjud bankernas stöd till fossilbolagen

Bankernas finansiella verksamhet är en blind fläck i det svenska klimatarbetet. Trots Parisavtalet fortsätter svenska banker att låna ut hundratals miljarder kronor till bolag inom kol, olja och gas. Nu måste regeringen täppa till luckan i klimathandlingsplanen så att inte bankerna kan låna ut pengar till fossilbolag som inte vill eller kan ställa om, skriver Naturskyddsföreningen och Sveriges Konsumenter.

Accountability
Grievances

Danske Bank has not established any grievance mechanims available to communities whose rights might be impinged by the bank's activities. Customers can, however, make a complaint here. For other stakeholders it is possible to lodge a complaint with the OECD National Contact Point (see OECD Watch Guidance).

This page evaluates Danske Bank's responses to instances of alleged human rights violations linked to its finance, raised by civil society organisations. It is not intended to be exhaustive, but covers selected impacts raised by BankTrack and other civil society partners since 2016. For the full scoring methodology, see here. For more information about BankTrack's evaluation of bank responses to human rights impacts, see the 2021 report "Actions speak louder: assessing bank responses to human rights violations".
