<p>Our mission is to harness the power of technology and collective action to decarbonize the banking sector. We empower bank customers with the tools and insights they need to influence their banks towards sustainable lending, advocating for a greener future. Through transparency, engagement, and innovation, we aim to redefine the role of banks in the fight against climate change.</p>
<p>As a consumer advocacy organzation, we are geared towards addressing the climate crisis by targeting the banking sector's vast fossil fuel financing. At the heart of our project is an advanced AI tool that meticulously analyses bank sustainability policies, deciphering the often-ambiguous terms to generate a "greenwashing" score. This score aids bank customers in assessing their banks' genuine commitment to sustainability.</p>
