Last year, the 2014 WAMSS Committee voted for WAMSS to fully divest from fossil fuels by closing our accounts with Westpac.
Since then, the wheels have been turning behind the scenes and this morning, we sent out an official letter to Westpac to inform them of our intention to move our funds out of Westpac and close our accounts by the end of this month.
Read our letter to Westpac below, expertly drafted by last year's WAMSS Environmental Officer (Samuel Ognenis) and Interhealth Code Green Officer (Devaki Wallooppillai). [embeddoc url="https://wamss.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/WAMSS-Divestment-Letter1.pdf" viewer="google"]
Watch this space for a notice once we are officially fossil fuel divested!
