To date, the company has <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fidelity.com\/bin-public\/060_www_fidelity_com\/documents\/about-fidelity\/Fidelity-Investments_2021-Environmental-Report.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pledged to address climate change<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. With its continued support for Bitcoin, a digital currency with a large and growing climate impact, the company is undermining its ability to follow through on its climate promises.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>To learn more about Fidelity Investments\u2019 role in Bitcoin\u2019s climate problem, read Greenpeace USA\u2019s Briefing Paper here: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/research\/financial-institutions-need-to-support-a-code-change-to-cleanup-bitcoin\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Financial Institutions Need to Support a Code Change to Cleanup Bitcoin\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Rolf Skar, Greenpeace National Campaigns Director said: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe have tried to engage Fidelity Investments about addressing Bitcoin\u2019s climate impact but they have demonstrated no interest in even talking, much less taking action. That is why we are here. Bitcoin mining requires vast amounts of electricity, contributing to carbon emissions, harming communities, and exacerbating the climate crisis. But this growing problem can be fixed if companies like Fidelity step up to develop solutions that work for people, the climate, and Bitcoin\u2019s future in a warming world.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Greenpeace USA is urging Fidelity to join the solution by encouraging Bitcoin to change its code to help mitigate the climate impact. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bitcoin\u2019s code relies on a process called Proof of Work to validate transactions on its digital ledger or blockchain which consumes massive amounts of electricity from fossil fuels. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jbs.cam.ac.uk\/insight\/2022\/a-deep-dive-into-Bitcoins-environmental-impact\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Globally, its largest single source of electricity is coal-fired power plants<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The action comes as part of an ongoing campaign to hold corporations accountable for their role in contributing to the climate crisis through investments in Bitcoin. Greenpeace USA is calling on companies to prioritize climate commitments and to pressure Bitcoin to come up with creative solutions to address its energy intensive code.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Greenpeace USA<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is part of a global network of independent campaigning organizations that use peaceful protest and creative communication to expose global environmental problems and promote solutions that are essential to a green and peaceful future.
