Honestly surprised that any companies aiming to be ethical would still be banking with the likes of HSBC or Barclays in 2025.

HSBC have left the net zero alliance - pleased to say we just left them and took our £600m Green economy turnover elsewhere. All companies that believe in net zero, aka the green economy - should ditch HSBC.
