🆕  Dans ses réponses aux questions écrites posées à l’occasion de son #AssembléeGénérale ce matin, BNP Paribas a déclaré “[s’abstenir] de participer aux émissions obligataires conventionnelles du secteur #pétrolier et #gazier”. 

Pourquoi est-ce un pas dans la bonne direction ? Car lorsqu’elles facilitent l’émission d’obligations, les banques permettent aux entreprises de lever des fonds auprès des investisseurs susceptibles d’acheter leurs obligations. Or les #obligations posent problème puisqu’il s’agit d’un mode de financement non-fléché. Autrement dit, il n’y a pas de garantie que le capital levé au travers des obligations ne sera pas investi dans le développement de nouveaux projets pétroliers ou gaziers. ❌ 

➡  L’annonce de cette abstention est d’autant plus importante que BNP Paribas est historiquement très impliquée dans le financement aux majors pétrolières et gazières. Il s’agit d’une première parmi les grandes #banques internationales : BNP Paribas montre ainsi la voie aux autres banques comme Groupe Crédit Agricole, Société Générale, Groupe BPCE, Barclays ou encore HSBC.

✒️ Nous encourageons BNP Paribas à formaliser cette approche en inscrivant cette règle dans sa #politique #climat et à l'étendre aux autres services financiers susceptibles de contribuer à l’expansion pétro-gazière.

BREAKING!

The 15th #BankingOnClimateChaos reveals that fossil fuel financing from the world’s top 60 banks has reached $6.9 TRILLION!!!

The science tells us our climate can’t afford a single new fossil fuel project – yet big banks spent over $347 billion on fossil fuel expansion in 2023.

Instead of investing in a liveable future for us all, big banks are driving climate devastation and human rights violations in every corner of the world.
