South America: The biggest bankrollers of oil and gas in the Amazon only apply their policies to about a third of the rainforest, says investigation; incl. companies' comments

Agência Brasil - EBC

"Weak banking regulations leave two-thirds of Amazon vulnerable to oil and gas", 11 June 2024

...There are hundreds of oil and gas operations across the Amazon Rainforest...They need support from big banks that provide direct funding through loans and underwriting bonds, which themselves need to be regulated, critics say...

A joint investigation by several conservation groups looked at more than 560 financial transactions involving more than 280 banks and 80 oil and gas companies working in the Amazon, concluding that what the banks claim to be doing for the environment is far from the “true impacts of their policies.”

Only around 40% of the Amazon is “screened” by Citibank and Bank of America, while Santander only screens 24% of it. Itaú Unibanco has no exclusion or screening policies at all.

Only HSBC has exclusion policies that cover 100% of the Amazon for oil and gas...
