Development Banks: Please Stop Financing Factory Farming

1

Factory farming is a major contributor to climate breakdown, biodiversity loss, and new pandemics.

2

Development banks such as the World Bank and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development are using taxpayer’s money to lend billions to build new factory farms.

3

Together with 20+ human rights, environmental and indigenous-led organizations, Sinergia is trying to stop the use of public money to finance factory farming and redirect investment to sustainable agricultural practices.

Banks for Animals: Is your bank funding factory farming?

Have you ever considered that your money could be used to finance some of the cruelest forms of animal exploitation? It could be happening to the money in your savings account - without you knowing.

Sinergia also monitors private banks to see if they have policies to ensure they don’t finance animal cruelty.

We use this information to create a ranking at our Banks for Animals’ platform, which rates banks and investors on their policies and practices related to animal welfare.

You decide where to keep your money.

You can use the information available at Banks for Animals to choose a bank that shares your values and is committed to protecting animal welfare. Or, you can urge your current bank to adopt these policies now.
