ING sued by Dutch non-profit for alleged failures on climate

An environmental non-profit has filed a lawsuit against ING Groep, alleging that the biggest bank in the Netherlands has failed to conduct its business in a way that adequately takes climate change into account.

“ING has a huge impact on the climate and must take responsibility for it,” according to the text of the suit sent to ING on Friday. “ING must clearly report all emissions for which the company is responsible, but must also halve those emissions.”
