JP Morgan stops lending to coal companies26 Feb 2020 16:56
JP Morgan said it will facilitate $200 billion of transactions in 2020 that ‘support climate action’ and advance the United Nations’ sustainable development goals.
Those transactions are expected to be a mix of loans, underwriting, advisory services and investments, and will include $50 billion of financing of green initiatives.
That is two of our major investors seeing the environmental way forward within a day or two of each other (Teck pulling the plug on an oil sands investment it had spent approx $850 million on) and now JP Morgan calling it a day on coal.
Between them they own over 20% of HZM, so a good way to cement their green credentials sitting in their laps.
