Barclays’ 2024 climate change statement says the bank does not provide project financing, or other direct financing to energy clients, for upstream oil and gas expansion projects or related infrastructure.\nAccording to the 2022 Republican-backed law, Oklahoma state agencies and political subdivisions can’t contract with a company unless it provides a written verification that it doesn’t boycott energy companies. \nRuss’ list of firms that his office considers to engage in a boycott already included BlackRock Inc., Wells Fargo & Co., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and $Bank of America Corp(BAC-N)$. The companies on the list have seen their public finance businesses dwindle in Oklahoma since the legislation went into effect.\nBarclays is ranked as the 10th biggest underwriter in the muni market so far this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. \n“Oklahoman’s tax dollars and state pension funds will not be used to sabotage the state’s vital fossil-fuel based industries, whether those strategies target current investment policies or long-term goals,” the treasurer’s office said in a statement. \nA spokesperson for Barclays declined to comment. \nA study published in April from the Oklahoma Rural Association — a group representing smaller communities — found that the state is incurring “avoidable” costs as a result of the law.  \nA Republican-introduced bill in the legislature would narrow the scope of Oklahoma’s law so local governments aren’t affected. \nRelated: Anti-ESG Law Targeting Wall Street Faces Republican-Led Rollback\nMost Read from Bloomberg Businessweek\n\nAI Is Helping Automate One of the World’s Most Gruesome Jobs\nWill GM Regret Kicking Apple CarPlay off the Dashboard?\nThe State of Crypto Is Anything But Strong\nWhy Banks These Days Are So Excited About Being Boring\nChina Launches Rockets From Sea in Bid to Win the Space Race\n\n©2024 Bloomberg L.P.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":null,"is_publish_highlight":null,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.22.4","shortVersion":"4.22.4","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2432132014"}
