Lloyd's of London was swathed in smoke and racked by sirens today as the giant insurers became the latest target of a hard-hitting national climate crisis campaign that has made headlines around the world. XR and Money Rebellion set off fire alarm sirens and black smoke flares outside the iconic Lloyd's of London HQ in London as executives and shareholders held their Annual General Meeting inside. Meanwhile activists from Coal Action Network, Mothers Rise Up and Eko bombarded staff phones with thousands of dropped calls to ‘sound the alarm’ to everyone inside their offices.

‘This bank is dirtier than ever!’ Extinction Rebellion disrupts Lloyds’ AGM over shocking increase in funding for fossil fuel madness

https:https://extinctionrebellion.uk/2023/05/18/this-bank-is-dirtier-than-ever-extinction-rebellion-protest-highlights-lloyds-shocking-increase-in-funding-for-fossil-fuel-madness/

A wave of disruptive XR actions against the dirty banks funding the accelerating climate crisis gathered further momentum as the AGM of Lloyds Banking Group in Glasgow was disrupted by protestors today. The bank increased fossil fuel funding by $500 million in 2022 compared to 2021. Four protesters repeatedly interrupted chairman Robin Budenberg as soon as he took to this feet to make his opening speech. When the first one was removed by security, a second one stood up to intervene. In a series of speeches they demanded that the bank and Bundenberg lead the UK's financial services industry out of fossil fuel funding immediately, completely and for good.

This bank is dirty! Extinction Rebellion calls out HSBC’s Greenwash at AGM in Birmingham

https:https://extinctionrebellion.uk/2023/05/05/this-bank-is-dirty-extinction-rebellion-calls-out-hsbcs-greenwash-at-agm-in-birmingham/

Around fifty protesters descended on HSBC’s annual general meeting to call out the bank’s shameful climate policies as the bank announces soaring quarterly profits of $12.9 billion. Protestors arrived with a bath of greenwash, while a group of ‘dirty scrubbers’ offered to clean up the bank’s soiled image in return for cash. Inside people unfurled banners, sang songs, enacted dramatic skits and repeatedly called out HSBC’s broken promises over its climate pledges. HSBC has invested $145bn in fossil fuels since the Paris Agreement in 2016 and the bank’s climate pledges have been revealed as greenwash by a series of damaging exposes.
