Greta Thunberg slams Roger Federer for endorsing Swiss bank which invests in fossil fuels

Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg on Friday slammed tennis legend Roger Federer for endorsing a bank which invests money in companies that are looking for new fossil fuel deposits. Recently, the 38-year-old—who is a 20-time Grand Slam winner—endorsed Credit Suisse who have invested a whopping $57 billion in the fossil fuel enterprises “For Credit Suisse, Roger Federer is an ideal international ambassador,” Thunberg quoted by Essentially Sports. “The values ​​it shares with Credit Suisse, such as the quest for excellence and determination, make it a highly sought-after partner for the long term. It is therefore expected that this partnership with Credit Suisse will extend beyond his sports career.” That is not the only form of criticism Federer has received for his association with the bank as there is a hashtag on Twitter “#Rogerwakeupnow” which is also formulated by the climate activists.
