The statement argues that AXA and Amundi/Crédit Agricole are acting hypocritically by maintaining public commitments to the Paris Agreement and the Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance while voting against a climate resolution for Total. It highlights that Total's current plans include increasing hydrocarbon production by 12% between 2018 and 2030 and allocating 80% of its capex to fossil fuels by 2030, which contradicts the 1.5°C warming limit.

Reclaim Finance highlights a contradiction between the public climate pledges of AXA and Amundi/Crédit Agricole and their decision to vote against a shareholder resolution calling for Total to improve its climate actions. The document argues that Total's current strategy—which includes increasing hydrocarbon production and maintaining high fossil fuel capex—is not aligned with a 1.5°C trajectory, making the investors' opposition to the resolution hypocritical given their stated goals of carbon neutrality and Paris Agreement alignment.

The report by Reclaim Finance and Les Amis de la Terre France analyzes the climate pledges of several French financial institutions. While some banks like Natixis and SCOR have introduced coal exit timelines and exclusions, the authors argue that many commitments remain insufficient due to narrow scopes, the exclusion of major oil and gas companies, and a lack of alignment across all business lines, particularly in the case of Société Générale and SCOR's reinsurance activities.

The report analyzes the coal and shale oil and gas policies announced in May 2020 by BNP Paribas, Natixis, Rothschild & Co, Société Générale, and Crédit Agricole. It concludes that while some institutions like Natixis have made progress toward coal phase-out, many commitments remain insufficient due to narrow scopes, the exclusion of oil and gas majors, or a lack of firm disinvestment strategies. Notably, Société Générale is criticized for postponing action and continuing to support shale gas development.

The report alleges that Maxland (PNG) Limited is using a rubber plantation project on Manus Island, Papua New Guinea, as a cover for illegal logging. Global Witness claims the company has bypassed provincial approvals, ignored landowner consent, and failed to plant the promised rubber trees while exporting millions of dollars in timber to China and Japan. The investigation links the operation to the Joinland Group and identifies several international financial institutions in Malaysia, Singapore, Norway, and the US that provide funding or investment to the entities involved.

The 2020 Easter Scorecard methodology assesses the largest chocolate companies across six sustainability categories: due diligence, transparency and traceability, deforestation and climate, agroforestry, living income, and child labor. Companies are graded using a color-coded system (green, yellow, red) based on survey responses, with individual 'egg scores' contributing to a final 'bunny score'. The framework emphasizes the need for mandatory regulation over voluntary efforts and evaluates specific metrics such as traceability to the farm level, net zero carbon targets, and the implementation of child labor monitoring and remediation systems.

Mighty Earth advocates for a sustainable natural rubber industry, highlighting the role of the Global Platform for Sustainable Natural Rubber (GPSNR) in addressing deforestation and human rights abuses. While acknowledging progress in stakeholder cooperation, the author identifies critical gaps in the GPSNR, including the lack of internal company policies, the absence of a grievance mechanism, and the non-participation of Chinese companies. The document calls for increased supply chain transparency, the inclusion of smallholder farmers, and a shift toward binding regulation to ensure a level playing field.

Mighty Earth is demanding transparency from Tyson Foods regarding a pledge made one year prior to improve farming practices on 2 million acres of U.S. corn. The organization notes that Tyson has provided no further detail or reporting since the announcement, despite a 2020 deadline. Mighty Earth requests specific data on the locations of engaged acres, implemented practices, environmental outcomes—specifically regarding nutrient runoff—and verification methods.

Mighty Earth calls on Sumitomo Corporation to stop financing coal power plants in Asia and importing biomass that contributes to deforestation.

The report criticizes Sumitomo Corporation for its continued investment in coal-fired power plants and its role as a leading importer of wood pellets for biomass energy. It argues that these activities drive deforestation in the US, Canada, and Vietnam, and cause severe air pollution and human rights violations in Southeast Asia. The document calls for Sumitomo to commit to a full exit from coal by 2030 and adopt a 'zero deforestation' policy for its biomass supply chain.

The document presents a collection of 36 internal and public documents from 1963 to 2017, detailing how the oil industry—specifically Exxon, Shell, Mobil, and the American Petroleum Institute (API)—understood the link between fossil fuels and global warming decades ago. It argues that despite internal consensus on the potential for 'catastrophic' impacts, these companies pivoted in the late 1980s to a strategy of manufacturing doubt, funding denier groups, and misleading the public and policymakers to protect their business models.

Carbon Market Watch criticizes Shell's $300 million investment in tree planting and forestry offsets, arguing that such measures do not reduce emissions and are undermined by the company's continued lobbying against climate action and massive investment in oil and gas infrastructure over low-carbon alternatives.

The Changing Markets Foundation alleges that Kellogg's has significantly reduced or removed essential vitamins and minerals from its most popular breakfast cereals in Mexico, contradicting the company's public commitments to address nutritional shortfalls. The letter highlights specific reductions in folic acid, iron, calcium, and vitamin A, noting that these nutrients remain deficient in the Mexican population, particularly among children.

The Changing Markets Foundation alleges that Kellogg's has 'empobrecido significativamente' the vitamin and mineral content of its top five cereal brands in Mexico from 2013 to 2018, reducing or removing over two-thirds of micronutrients. The letter highlights that while Kellogg's added vitamin D, it reduced folic acid by 60% to 90% and iron by 20% to 60%, and eliminated calcium from three brands, despite high deficiency rates for these nutrients among Mexican children and pregnant women according to ENSANUT and the National Institute of Public Health.

CIEL responds to critiques of its report 'Fuel to the Fire', asserting that the fossil fuel industry has actively promoted carbon capture and storage (CCS), carbon dioxide removal (CDR), and solar radiation management (SRM) to entrench a fossil-based economy. The organization provides specific examples of industry-funded researchers and think tanks shaping geoengineering discourse and argues that these technologies are more likely to exacerbate the climate crisis by delaying the necessary phase-out of fossil fuels.

The Union of Concerned Scientists' comparison of ExxonMobil's 2018 and 2019 climate reports finds that the company relies on unchanged energy demand assumptions and maintains a belief that the world will fail to meet Paris Agreement temperature goals. The analysis highlights inconsistencies in how the company describes methane reduction efforts, a lack of detailed low-carbon investment breakdowns, and the use of problematic graphs to suggest alignment with IPCC scenarios. While ExxonMobil acknowledges for the first time that its fossil fuel products are part of the climate problem, it continues to emphasize uncertainty regarding the pace of the global energy transition.

Mighty Earth criticizes Michelin for failing to lead the tire industry in ending deforestation and land-grabbing caused by rubber harvesting in Southeast Asia and Africa, calling for the inclusion of civil society in the Global Platform for Sustainable Natural Rubber.

Mighty Earth criticizes McDonald’s and Whole Foods for sourcing meat from Cargill and Tyson, companies it identifies as major drivers of rainforest destruction in South America and water pollution in the United States. The organization asserts that industrial meat production contributes approximately 15% of global climate pollution and occupies 80% of global agricultural land. Mighty Earth is campaigning across the United States to pressure these retailers to establish environmental standards for their meat supply chains.

The report 'A Crack in the Shell' by the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) uses internal documents to demonstrate that Royal Dutch Shell had early and urgent notice of climate risks associated with fossil fuels. It highlights a dichotomy between Shell's internal scientific understanding—which acknowledged the link between CO2 and global warming as early as the 1950s and 60s—and its public efforts to sow doubt through industry groups like the Global Climate Coalition and the American Petroleum Institute. The document further argues that Shell continues this pattern by promoting the 'Sky Scenario' to appear aligned with the Paris Agreement while continuing to invest in fossil fuel expansion, including in the Arctic.

Twenty-three major retailers and consumer goods companies, including Tesco and McDonald's, have called on soy and cattle agribusinesses to stop deforestation in Latin America, particularly in Brazil's Cerrado. Mighty Earth argues that with 500 million acres of degraded land available, native ecosystem destruction is unnecessary. The organization urges companies like Cargill and Bunge to expand their Amazon deforestation efforts to other regions and proposes a land-use change monitoring system for soy-growing areas costing between $750,000 and $1,000,000 to establish.
