Cambridge University is pulling out funds from HSBC (HSBC), Barclays (BCS), and other institutions that continue to finance fossil fuels, Bloomberg reported Thursday, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The university has already diverted 135 million British pounds ($180.8 million) in cash and money market investments from its major banks to smaller institutions, sources told Bloomberg.
No further funding details related to HSBC and Barclays were disclosed.
HSBC, Barclays, and Cambridge University did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' requests for comments.
