Unravelling the Carbon Web is a project by PLATFORM. We work to reduce the environmental and social impacts of oil corporations, to help citizens gain a say in decisions that affect them, and to support the transition to a more sustainable energy economy.

What should RBS do?

* Recognize the full implications of its operations on climate change, including the core business of financial services. Introduce a comprehensive climate change policy addressing and reducing these impacts.

* Calculate, publish and cap embedded carbon emissions. Announce a target for annual reductions and the strategy to achieve this.

* Replace the Oil and Gas Team with a Sustainable Energy Team, the majority of whose investments are in renewable energy and energy conservation. Shift its portfolio away from projects and companies directed at expanding fossil fuel use.
