Cambridge University reportedly could drop Barclays in favour of greener bank
Cambridge University could cut ties with Barclays after more than 200 years over the bank’s refusal to stop financing new oil and gas projects, according to the Financial Times. It reported that Cambridge is looking for an institution with robust climate policies to manage “several hundred million pounds” in cash and money market funds – a mandate expected to cover more than £200m in assets and generate about £10m in fees a year. https://getsnap.link/EbJYqtobKbu

Cambridge University's potential decision to sever ties with Barclays, a relationship spanning over 200 years, signals a growing trend of institutions prioritizing environmentally responsible practices. The reported consideration reflects the university's commitment to addressing climate change by seeking a financial partner with robust climate policies. The move underscores the increasing importance of aligning financial decisions with sustainability goals, showcasing the potential impact of divestment on fostering greener practices within the banking sector. If implemented, this decision could set a notable precedent for other institutions weighing their financial partnerships against climate-related criteria.
