On July 10, Senators accused JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon of backtracking on the bank's climate commitments. Jamie Dimon recently stated that the bank would use the word 'commitment' more reservedly in the future. This has led to concerns from figures such as Senator Elizabeth Warren, who warns that if Dimon misled investors and the public, regulatory and legislative intervention may be necessary. JPMorgan Chase, known as the biggest fossil fuel investor in the world, is under scrutiny for potentially misleading its stakeholders about its climate goals. Public Citizen has highlighted that banks made commitments when it was politically expedient and are now walking them back.
