The analysis finds that Engie's 2025 climate plan lacks a phase-out date for fossil gas and continues gas expansion through new plants and LNG contracts. While renewable targets increased to 95 GW by 2030, the company remains on a 'well below 2°C' trajectory rather than 1.5°C, with a decarbonization goal of 2045 that contradicts IEA Net Zero scenarios. CAPEX for fossil technologies remains nearly stable, and the company's reliance on hydrogen and biomethane is viewed as a risk for perpetuating fossil systems.

Reclaim Finance criticizes ENGIE's Climate Plan for failing to commit to a non-expansion of fossil fuels, specifically noting LNG contracts extending beyond 2040. The analysis argues that ENGIE's reliance on technologies like hydrogen and CCUS, combined with insufficient renewable energy growth, risks locking the company into fossil infrastructure and missing net-zero targets before 2045.

Reclaim Finance criticizes ENGIE's climate plan for lacking transparency and containing inconsistencies, specifically regarding its reliance on shale gas and the absence of granular investment data. The organization advocates for a shareholder resolution to implement regular consultative votes on the plan's content and implementation to ensure alignment with climate goals.

Reclaim Finance criticizes ENGIE's climate plan, noting it targets a 1.7 °C warming trajectory rather than 1.5 °C and lacks granular data on CAPEX and energy mix. The organization highlights contradictions, such as ENGIE's continued plans for 1.2 GW of new gas plants and long-term contracts for US shale gas, while calling for investor support of a resolution to implement 'Say on Climate' consultations.

The briefing finds that ENGIE's climate disclosures are insufficient for 7 of 11 assessed topics, noting significant gaps in absolute emissions targets, production forecasts, and CAPEX/OPEX granularity. While ENGIE is progressing toward its 2030 renewable capacity targets, the report argues its broader strategy relies on immature 'renewable gas' technologies and continues to invest in fossil gas infrastructure, including new long-term LNG contracts from the US.

Reclaim Finance assesses TotalEnergies' 2022 climate plan as insufficient, noting that the company's emissions are projected to decrease by only 5.8% to 6.7% between 2015 and 2030. The analysis highlights a 'fossil-first' investment strategy where over 70% of CAPEX remains dedicated to oil and gas, and criticizes the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) as fundamentally incompatible with climate goals. The document urges shareholders to vote against the management-sponsored climate resolution at the 2022 AGM.
