A ship is 90% steel, making it a valuable source of scrap steel for construction. But dismantling ships is dirty, dangerous work. And it’s done in Bangladesh because labour is cheap and regulations are lax. What’s a bank got to do with shipbreaking? We help change how things are done in shipbreaking by making higher safety standards a condition for securing finance. It’s just one of the ways we make industries around the world better from within.
For profit, many financial institutions lend money to finance dangerous industries. And they don't hold these industries to any rule or regulation. A lot of people, like you and me, are unaware of the role banks play in this. That while they can make a difference, they choose to turn a blind eye. We would rather take a stand.
It's an uncommon topic for a bank so it makes for an uncommon film. Our cinematography focused on capturing the immensity and grandeur of the ships we were seeing, including the duress that shipbreakers face on a daily basis in the shipbreaking yards of Bangladesh. We wanted to show how dismantling ships is dirty, dangerous work. How workers are exposed to hazardous wastes like heavy metals, compressed gas, welding fumes, and cancer-causing PCBs and asbestos. How heavy oils, oil debris and ballast water contaminate the waters. And how we were going to make things better.
