Climate Activists Target Federated Hermes As 'Enablers' Of Fossil Fuel Industry

LONDON, ENGLAND - MAY 26: An activist holds a grey smoke flare outside the office while the Oil Slicks make an appearance during the demonstration on May 26, 2026 in London, England. Climate activists from the campaign group Cut The Ties To Fossil Fuels target the offices of Federated Hermes, a global asset management firm, for its links to French oil and gas giant TotalEnergies, the primary stakeholder in the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP). The environmental group's aim is to direct attention to so-called "fossil fuel enablers," which they say are propping up the oil and gas industry behind the scenes. (Photo by Martin Pope/Getty Images)
