Notes

TMBL recently published Ten years of climate action at Teachers Mutual that summarised our actions to date, and acknowledged that we know there’s a lot more to do to help the world avoid catastrophic climate change,  

TMBL has pioneered banking without fossil fuels, one that does not invest in or take money from the fossil fuel industry – across our entire balance sheet. We were the first bank to sign the Climate League 2030 and support their call for 45% emissions cut by 2030, and committed to a further $20 billion in new Certified Responsible Investment products by 2030 with zero fossil-fuel industry investment.
