Westpac AGM Rally: Stop Backing Fossil Fuel Expansion
Advertisement
Despite community pressure, shareholder concerns, and the scientific imperative to cut emissions to protect our planet: WESTPAC IS STILL BACKING FOSSIL FUEL EXPANSION.
⚠️ Market Forces’ latest report found that Westpac alone has contributed $7.9 billion to the world’s biggest fossil fuel companies since the Paris Agreement in 2016
⚠️ Westpac used to be the smallest contributor to fossil fuels of the big four banks, and had a policy to block finance to coal, oil and gas expanders in 2025
⚠️ This year Westpac retracted that policy and doubled down on fossil finance to become Australia's second biggest funder of fossil fuels – continuing to back big polluters like Woodside and Santos
This is no accident, Westpac and its leadership have chosen this path – which is why we need to send the bank execs a clear message: Wrong way, go back! ⛔
Bring your voice and your energy for a peaceful and powerful action. Everyone is welcome, everyone is needed. We’ll bring the posters + banners — and sweet treats for all who can make it! ?
