As you know, ANZ is the banker for the logging company Gunns Ltd. This company is involved with widespread clear-felling of Tasmania´s native forests both on its own freehold land and through its major supplier Forestry Tasmania.
Gunns Ltd is now proposing to build a new pulp mill based on native forest wood and to expand its operations to produce over 7 million tonnes of woodchips each year.
Gunns has a poor environmental record. In Tasmania it is associated with the devastation of large areas of high conservation value forests. After logging these areas are then burnt; on private land native animals are often poisoned. In addition, rivers have been degraded by logging activities and chemical use.
ANZ is a large lender to Gunns and, since 1995, has provided crucial financial services to the company.
If the new pulp mill proposed by Gunns goes ahead, the destruction of Tasmania´s environment will get worse. The pulp mill will be fed by native forests, increasing and intensifying the logging of the last tracts of unprotected forested wilderness in Tasmania.
The pulp mill will also release deadly chemicals into the marine environment of Bass Strait. It will pollute the air of Tamar Valley, home to wine growers and a vital part of the tourist industry of Tasmania. It will threaten the health and livelihood of local communities.
ANZ is understood to be advising Gunns on the financial structure of the project, arranging other financiers, and potentially providing project finance and underwriting the mill. Through this, Gunns is receiving essential support from ANZ, without which this environmental destruction might not proceed.
This involvement raises serious questions as to ANZ´s commitment to corporate social responsibility.
I therefore kindly ask you, Mr Smith, to show leadership in your new job. ANZ, through its involvement with Gunns destruction of Tasmania´s native forests and this disastrous pulp mill project, is taking grave risks with its reputation.
I would urge you to reconsider the bank´s relationship with Gunns and to withold any financial support for the proposed pulp mill. Please make a difference to the planet and to the bank you will be leading. I will be grateful to you.
