🚨HSBC made a *secretive* multimillion-dollar loan to the energy company bulldozing a village in western Germany to expand its huge coal mine.

Just three months ago, the bank pledged to stop funding coal

thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2023-0…
Our reporter @jomoulds did some digging and found out HSBC approved the $340m loan to RWE but asked that its involvement be kept as quiet as possible.

🗣️An anonymous HSBC banker described the company’s position as: “Here are the funds. Please don’t tell anyone we gave you them”
Although some bankers raised concerns about the expansion of the Garzweiler mine and the demolition of villages like Lützerath, the deal was ultimately greenlit 💰

RWE’s mine produces 25 million tonnes of lignite – the dirtiest form of coal – every year

We’ve been investigating the world of corporate intelligence, and the former spies and police officers who become private investigators. Instead of ensuring people abide by the law, they’re commissioning hackers to break it. 👀

🔴 REVEALED

Food giant Nestlé used beef from seized Indigenous lands in the Amazon rainforest 🌎

Didn’t know Nestlé makes beef products? It does. And it’s been sourcing some cattle from Marfrig, one of Brazil’s biggest meatpackers…

thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2022-0…
Our story centres on the Mỹky Indigenous community, who have lived in the Amazon for centuries.

Ranchers have been encroaching on their territory to farm cattle. And these farms have been supplying a Marfrig abattoir, which in turn supplies Nestlé.
Nestlé uses beef in its baby food, pet food and seasonings.

Other companies in this murky supply chain have included @McDonalds and @BurgerKing.

Our analysis shows 700+ Marfrig cattle suppliers have been linked to more than 150 sq km of deforestation in recent years.
