TotalEnergies a bien une responsabilité dans la consommation de ses produits

Reclaim Finance criticizes TotalEnergies for denying responsibility for scope 3 emissions and opposing a shareholder resolution to set reduction targets for these emissions. The organization argues that TotalEnergies influences fossil fuel demand through lobbying and investment and maintains a "climaticide" strategy by planning hydrocarbon production for 2030 that is 81% higher than the level required for a 1.5°C scenario. Reclaim Finance highlights that international standards, such as the SBTi and CSRD, increasingly require scope 3 reporting and targets, and notes that TotalEnergies plans to allocate at least 67% of its 2030 capital expenditures to fossil fuels.

• TotalEnergies rejects responsibility for emissions resulting from the use of its products by customers and opposes setting scope 3 emission reduction targets, claiming it has no influence over hydrocarbon demand.
• The company's projected hydrocarbon production for 2030 is 81% higher than what is necessary to align with the International Energy Agency's (IEA) 1.5°C scenario.
• TotalEnergies is the leading European company in developing new oil and gas fields, ranking 7th globally, and intends to allocate at least 67% of its capital expenditures (excluding maintenance) to fossil fuels in 2030.
• Reporting and setting targets for scope 3 emissions have become international norms supported by frameworks such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, CDP, PCAF, CSRD, and the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi).
• TotalEnergies has committed to keeping annual scope 3 emissions below 400 MtCO2e by 2025 and 2030, which represents a minimal reduction of 2% compared to the 410 MtCO2e recorded in 2015.
