JOIN US on December 1 at 6pm @ ING headquarters to collectively reject the notion of our money being used to support investment in the Dakota Access Pipeline.

The Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) is a proposed 1,172-mile long pipeline beginning in the Bakken fields of North Dakota and transporting fracked oil to Illinois. ING, a bank that recently claimed to be 'recognised as a world leader for corporate action on climate change,' is one of the 17 banks directly funding the pipeline.

ING published a press release on the 2nd of November addressing some concerns: https://www.ing.com/ing-in-society/sustainability/ing-and-the-dakota-acc...

Many questions remain:

1) How is this investment 'in line with ING's policy' when it so clearly goes against environmental progress and human rights?
2) Does ING know exactly how their funds are being spent and is any of the money supporting the heavily militarised DAPL security and police force?
3) Who is the 'external independent consultant' and why has there been no update since the beginning of November?
4) Are they sure that the project 'complies with the law'? Construction continues even though no easement has been granted by the US Army Corps of Engineers to drill under the river until further notice.

The largest bank in Norway, DNB, have already sold their assets in DAPL after receiving a petition with 120,000 signatures.

ING, one of the most widely-used banks in the Netherlands, has failed in its commitment to sustainable and ethical banking. We urge all ING customers to join us at 18:00 at the ING corporate headquarters and collectively reject the notion of our money being used to support environmental destruction and the violation of human rights.

We urge ING to give up their financial stake in the Dakota Access Pipeline and will collectively end business with the corporation on December the 1st.
