While the Russian government has deemed Shell’s controversial Sakhalin II project non-compliant with environmental plans and revoked environmental approval, six private banks continue to bid to arrange financing.
BankTrack has written to the Royal Bank of Scotland, ABN AMRO, BNP Paribas, Mizuho, SMBC and BoT-Mitsubishi, to call on them not to finance Sakhalin II due to the impacts on whale and marine biodiversity, geologic hazards, gender impacts, dumping in Aniva Bay, erosion, violations in in river crossings, failures in the environmental impact assessments and breaches of Russian environmental legislation.
