Market Forces accuses OCBC of hiding coal financing in Indonesia, violating climate disclosure rules.
Environmental group Market Forces has filed a complaint with Singapore Exchange (SGX) against OCBC, alleging the bank failed to disclose its financing of coal-powered nickel plants in Indonesia, creating a gap between its climate commitments and actual exposure.
The complaint claims OCBC’s lack of transparency may violate SGX rules on climate disclosures, particularly since financing nickel production with captive coal plants falls outside the banks’ pledge to stop funding new coal power.
