flag Market Forces accuses OCBC of hiding coal financing in Indonesia, violating climate disclosure rules.

flag 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. flag 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. flag OCBC says it complies with ESG standards and cites grid limitations in Indonesia as a reason for continued coal use. flag The ISSB’s 2025 reporting standards will require banks to disclose financed emissions by sector, increasing scrutiny. flag While similar concerns were raised about DBS and UOB, Market Forces targeted OCBC due to differences in policies and funding timelines.
