AFMW is exploring alternative banking institutions, as part of our commitment to climate change advocacy towards zero emissions.
This “Fossil Fuels – Where does your bank stand?” link was shared with us by our friends at Doctors for the Environment Australia (DEA).

Fossil fuels – where does your bank stand? See https://www.marketforces.org.au/info/compare-bank-table/
As individual members, we can each use this link to assess your own banking and make choices around ethical banking. This sends a clear message to financial institutions that neglecting climate change issues, will cost them financially in a very direct and immediate way.
