Which? responds to ShareAction research on banks' green finance activities

Sam Richardson, Deputy Editor of Which? Money, said:

"These worrying findings echo our own research that exposed shortcomings and a lack of transparency with some high-street banks' green policies, which makes it tougher for consumers to make sustainable choices. 

 “Customers that are uncomfortable with how their money is being invested, or find it hard to get clear information about environmental policies, might want to consider switching banks. Which? has awarded its Eco Provider badge to three banks, and by choosing one of these, people can feel confident that their bank has impressive green credentials and steers clear of investing money in coal, oil or gas.”
