A quarter of Barclays customers say they would consider switching banks if it doesn’t take more ambitious climate action, according to a new poll, as a report brands the bank the “worst in Europe” for financing fossil fuels.
The poll commissioned by campaign group 38 degrees and shared exclusively with The Independent found that 26 per cent of the bank’s customers said they’d likely consider moving their money if it didn’t present a more ambitious plan than its proposed climate strategy being voted on at its annual general meeting in Manchester on Wednesday.
