Comparing reported advocacy and direct advocacy for each of the banks showed:

🟢NatWest & Lloyds supported science-aligned policy privately, but were less clearly supportive in public statements
🛑 Barclays publicly reported greater support for policies than in direct communications with government
June 3, 2025 at 3:02 PM
🌱🏭It showed that Barclays, HSBC & Lloyds consistently directed more financing to fossil fuel companies than to green companies by significant margins from 2020 to 2024 -

but that NatWest bucked this trend, financing green companies over fossil fuel companies at an average ratio of 1.5 to 1.
