Engagements des banques françaises en matière de financement au secteur pétro-gazier

The document provides a comparative analysis of French banks' commitments to cease financing new hydrocarbon projects. It details specific exclusions for upstream exploration and production and midstream infrastructure, noting that many banks apply restrictive criteria—such as limiting exclusions to non-conventional LNG or specific production-linked infrastructure—rather than comprehensive bans.

• French banks have varying levels of commitment to stopping the financing of new hydrocarbon projects, with some limiting their restrictions to specific types of infrastructure or production methods. For example, one bank only excludes "pipelines et terminaux d'exportation approvisionnés majoritairement en GNL non-conventionnel" and another limits exclusions to "infrastructure strictement dédiée à des projets d’extraction".
• Some banks apply restrictions to midstream infrastructure only when its viability depends on new oil and gas activities, specifically "infrastructures dont la viabilité et l’existence dépendent en majorité du développement d’activités amont pétrolières et gazières Greenfields".
• Certain banks limit their climate policies to specific financial instruments or production thresholds, such as applying restrictions only to "émissions obligataires non-fléchées dites "conventionnelles"" or targeting companies whose production in the previous year was "supérieure à la plus faible des productions depuis l'année 2022 comprise".
