ANZ and Westpac accused of fossil-fuel finance greenwashing.
Major Australian banks accused of greenwashing around fossil fuel financing. G-score reflects significant financed emissions (scope 3) through continued fossil fuel lending despite climate commitments, with major disclosure gaps. Scale multiplier applied for industry-leading banks. C-score high due to broad sustainability promises with low verifiability, sustained public climate commitments while maintaining fossil fuel portfolios. Intent score elevated (11) indicating deliberate misdirection: claims misaligned with financing reality, follows banking sector scrutiny pattern, uses vague net-zero language. Both scores exceed 25 with minimal gap, indicating classic greenwashing where bold claims mask continued environmental harm.
