Some questions come to mind:
Does the bank use fossil fuels; do they run on electricity generated by fossil fuels?
Do they have any company cars which run on fossil fuels?
If they have electric cars and are proud as a company they have electric cars, are they aware that the electricity to recharge their vehicles is generated in fossil fuels power plants, in many places?
Do their employees have fossil fuels powered cars?
Do their employees live in homes powered by fossil fuels?
Just how far do they go with this feel good policy?
Also, do they do business with customers, who have business relationships with fossil fuels companies? For example, if you go in the bank with a paycheck from a coal or oil company, will they reject your business?
