Standard Bank

South Africa

In October, NGOs filed a formal complaint with South Africa’s Advertising Regulatory Board (ARB) challenging Standard Bank over misleading environmental and climate claims which contrast with its continued financing of major new fossil fuel projects such as the EACOP.

ANZ

Australia

A recent ActionAid report highlights ANZ as the worst performer of Australia's Big Four, with weak policies that fail to protect women and communities from fossil fuel-related human rights violations.

Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC)

China

The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists released the China Capital investigation investigation in September. The global investigation "lays bare the hidden playbook of one of China’s most powerful banks."

OTP Bank

Hungary

In September, Bloomberg reported that OTP Bank - the second largest international bank in Russia - had begun planning its exit from the country. However this month, the CEO seemed to reverse that direction, telling Forbes the bank would stay for as long as "economically rational".
