A court case has been launched against the Commonwealth Bank (CBA) after it rejected a shareholder request for it to reveal the level of greenhouse gas emissions it finances. Activist group the Australasian Centre for Corporate Responsibility (ACCR), which is a minor shareholder in the CBA, banded together with more than 100 other shareholders to ask the bank to report on the amount of carbon pollution it finances. The resolution also called on the bank to outline its exposure to “unburnable carbon”, referring to fossil fuel projects that are unlikely to go ahead due to economic trends and global action to mitigate climate change. theguardian/environment/2014/oct/14/commonweath-bank-sued-in-bid-to-reveal-carbon-pollution-it-finances?CMP=soc_567
