Société Générale breaks its own promises and fuels climate chaos.

The French banking giant is bankrolling Adani’s coal destruction while all
other major banks have turned away from this notorious polluter.

It’s time we show Société Générale that dirty coal is bad for business:
Tell Société Générale to stop sponsoring coal and Adani’s destruction.

John,

Société Générale brags about its so-called coal ‘exclusion policy’, but
behind the scenes, it’s bankrolling one of the world's most corrupt,
climate-wrecking coal giants: Adani.

Rings a bell? Yes, it’s the same Adani Group convicted of bribery and
fraud, trashing reefs, stealing Indigenous land, and suing journalists for
telling the truth.

The Washington Post recently exposed that major American and European
banks are refusing to finance Adani, showing that the mobilisation against
Adani is working, but Société Générale seems to treat dirty coal as a
business opportunity.

Adani is in hot water, and there is no better time to corner Société
Générale, expose its complicity in environmental crimes, and make its
hypocritical choice backfire–publicly.

In 2020, Société Générale made a clear commitment to "no longer provide
products and services to companies that develop new mining projects, power
plants or infrastructure related to thermal coal". Since then, media,
activists and climate researchers have uncovered Adani’s plans to double
its coal-power production; exposed its lies about its renewable energy
targets; and revealed its routine transfer of its money from its green
entity to coal operations.

Still in 2024, Société Générale underwrote a $409 million bond issue for
Adani Green Energy. Société Générale’s multi million-dollar arrangement
for Adani has not only helped it burn record volumes of coal but also
enabled the Adani Group to go after human rights defenders and
journalists.

Société Générale’s loyalty for Adani is not forever. It can end where our
collective power begins.

Société Générale really cares about its green image, and with enough
public pressure, we can turn its decision of financing the world’s largest
private coal mining group against them.
