"The future Standard Bank advertises must be measured against the future it is actually financing."
Our coordinator Zaki Mamdoo explains why we've joined @FossilFreeSA & community groups to challenge Standard Bank's green claims.

Actions speak louder than words. A bank cannot call itself a sustainability leader while financing a pipeline that threatens biodiversity and communities #Greenwashing #EACOP
Standard Bank markets itself as a leader in sustainable finance. But it also finances EACOP.
Now, its environmental claims are being challenged before South Africa’s Advertising Regulatory Board.
Can its green image withstand scrutiny?

The case raises a critical question: can financial institutions market themselves as champions of sustainability while supporting major fossil fuel infrastructure?

The complaint calls on the regulator to scrutinise whether the bank’s claims of sustainable finance, climate action and leadership in Africa’s just energy transition are adequately substantiated against the environmental and human rights impacts of the projects it finances.

Greenwashing matters because advertising shapes how the public understands where money is flowing and what kind of development financial institutions are building.
The future Standard Bank advertises must be measured against the future it is financing.

They market "Net Zero" while funding #EACOP - a pipeline threatening Lake Victoria and 100,000+ people.

Communities hosting multi-billion-dollar pipelines are still living in darkness. Who's this energy really for?

Africa’s energy future must serve its people, not just corporate profits. Communities deserve affordable, reliable, clean energy not displacement, environmental destruction, and broken promises. Who benefits from these deals, and who pays the price? Energy justice must come first
Billions in energy deals. But are ordinary people getting the energy they need?
During the Africa Energy Week, we asked who benefits, who bears the costs, and what energy investment should deliver.

Whose development, & at whose expense? Progress cannot mean land dispossession, lost livelihoods & violated rights. From Tanzania to Uganda, communities deserve justice, transparency & accountability—not promises that leave them behind. #LandJustice #StopEACOP #ClimateJustice

⚖️On October 21, 2026, Uganda’s Court of Appeal heard five compensation cases involving people affected by the Tilenga and @EACOP oil projects.
The cases raise critical questions about land rights and fair compensation.

Defending land should never come at the cost of a woman’s peace, dignity, or safety. Stand with rural women defending their land and demand justice, protection, and respect for their rights. ✊🏾🌍 #InternationalDayForRuralWomen #LandRights @NatureTalk_A @YGCUganda @GreenFaith_Afr
Rural women defending their land face more than corporate displacement - they carry the daily terror of state intimidation.
Hear a son narrate the toll his activism takes on his mother.

One would (hope) think this would drive some sense into fossil fuel delegations attending upcoming #COP31 #EndFossilFuels NOW ❤️ @fossiltreaty @stopEACOP @EcocideLaw
