How big finance greenwashes climate crisis culprits and how to investigate them
Saturday October 19, 2024 9:30am - 10:30am CEST
Auditorium
A cross-border data-driven investigation by Voxeurop, the Guardian and European Investigative Collaborations Network exposed banks and other financial institutions which misuse green-labeled funds to pour investors' money into the world's top polluters. The project looked at financial institutions, including large asset managers like BlackRock and Vanguard, as well as major banks like JPMorgan Chase and HSBC, that continue to fund the world's largest greenhouse gas emitters despite their commitment to sustainability.

In this panel, three journalists who made this award-winning story happen will tell you about their methods on investigating "financial greenwashing".
