Bank of Ireland
Bank of Ireland heavily finances factory farming!
Bank of Ireland is Ireland's largest agricultural lender, providing over €4 billion to the agrifood sector including extensive financing for factory farm dairy, beef, pork, and poultry operations. Its sustainability-linked Enviroflex loans fund animal housing, slurry storage, and intensive farm expansion. The bank has also been publicly criticised for its lack of animal welfare policies, and it focusses only on emissions reductions within existing livestock systems rather than critical food systems change. Drop them a message below to encourage them to change that!
Engaging with this bank is quick and simple!
A few easy steps to support
big changes
1. Engage with your bank
Contacting your bank is a powerful way to drive change. Banks use customer deposits to make their loans and investments, so if you tell them that you don’t want your money to finance factory farming, they recognise the risk of losing customers. Together, our engagement has the potential to shift vast sums away from this industry.
2. Check your bank, and switch if you can
If you don’t want to risk your money financing this industry, switching banks is a strong statement - but they need to be told why you’re leaving to make a difference.
