Intesa Sanpaolo's high street subsidiaries are shut down by Greenpeace Italy activists in protest against the bank’s continued multi-billion dollar support for fossil fuels. The activists disabled the doors preventing staff from entering. At each of the bank's subsidiary targeted, images of Intesa Sanpaolo customers bearing slogans such as "Chiuso per emergenza climatica" (Shut down due to Climate Emergency) were placed on windows.
Greenpeace Italy is demanding that Intesa Sanpaolo, the biggest funder of fossil fuels among European banks, stop propping up oil, gas and coal companies and channel funding into renewable energy.
