摘要

摘要本文认为,鉴于人们越来越接受“负责任的银行”的必要性,银行应该采取动物福利政策,将环境、社会和治理分析纳入信贷风险和尽职调查过程。加大对动物农业综合企业投资的力度,以及动物农业综合业务可能导致气候破坏并受到气候破坏影响的恶性循环,突显了银行对动物福利的责任。这篇文章通过桌面评论评估了澳大利亚领先的零售银行和农业综合企业贷款机构如何在动物农业综合企业信贷中解决动物福利和气候破坏问题。我们发现,尽管大多数银行都对动物福利和气候政策做出了承诺,但这些政策往往只不过是“洗绿”。我们呼吁建立一个由行业、监管和民间社会行动组成的生态系统来应对这一危险。

Are Banks Responsible for Animal Welfare and Climate Disruption? A Critical Review of Australian Banks’ Due Diligence Policies for Agribusiness Lending
Abstract This article argues that banks should adopt animal welfare policies in the light of the growing acceptance of the need for ‘responsible banking’, which incorporates environmental, social, and governance analysis into credit risk and due diligence processes. The responsibility of banks for animal welfare is underscored by the drive towards greater investment in animal agribusiness, and the vicious cycle through which animal agribusiness can both contribute to, and be impacted by, climate disruption. The article evaluates, through a desktop review, how leading Australian retail banks and agribusiness lenders are addressing animal welfare and climate disruption in animal agribusiness lending. We find that although most banks have made a commitment to animal welfare and climate policies, these often amount to little more than greenwashing. We call for an ecosystem of industry, regulatory, and civil society action to address this danger.
