Bank for Nature Newsroom

Mighty Earth has filed complaints in the US and UK against Barclays and factory farm giant JBS over alleged greenwashing and financial fraud tied to billions in ‘sustainable’ finance. What does this mean for you, and is your bank also financing factory farming?

Searching for an ethical bank in the UK? Find out which banks support a sustainable future, and which are fuelling the world’s most polluting industries. This evidence-driven guide covers three good banks (Nationwide, Triodos, Co-operative) and three bad banks (Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds), with a focus on factory farming and industrial animal agriculture, nature, and climate impacts.

FAIRR report uncovers financial risks from industrial animal agriculture and factory farming. Learn how your bank finances factory farming and what you can do.

The new report Food Not Feed: How to Stop the World’s Biggest Form of Food Waste exposes the staggering inefficiency of factory farming to feed the world, and the level of global food waste and environmental degradation that comes with it.

JBS beef from illegally grazed Amazon Indigenous lands is landing in European stores—with major banks still funding the meat giant despite its links to deforestation and rights violations. Consumers can use their power to change that: switch banks and demand change to protect forests and Indigenous communities.

The launch of Bank for Nature marks a new chapter in the movement to align finance with a thriving planet. Our mission? To empower consumers to encourage their banks to do better - specifically, to move money away from factory farm finance, manage the financial risks linked to industrial animal agriculture, and accelerate the food transition.
