The Organization

Affiliated with Friends of the Earth France, Reclaim Finance aims to make the financial sector work for a sustainable society. In the context of climate and biodiversity emergencies, one of Reclaim Finance’s priorities is to accelerate the decarbonization of financial flows.

Reclaim Finance exposes the climate impacts of financial institutions, by naming and shaming the worst actors and calling out good policies. Pragmatic, they build alliances and collaborate with financial institutions and political decision-makers who wish to transform their existing practices in line with ecological imperatives.
