TotalEnergies pledges climate plan

Suodattimet

Ranska-based TotalEnergies has won over a group of influential investors by committing to publish a detailed plan for its decarbonisation efforts.

The group had put forward a draft resolution calling for more transparency about TotalEnergies’ transition strategy, which would have been voted on at the company’s annual general meeting (AGM) for shareholders. The group – which includes La Banque Postale Asset Management, La Financiere de l’Echiquier, and Meeschaert Amilton AM – has now said the new commitment makes the resolution unnecessary.

Like many other traditional oil majors, TotalEnergies, which was formerly known as Total and also makes industrial products like food safe lubricants and metalworking fluids, has come under increasing pressure from activists and investors at AGMs to accelerate efforts to decarbonise in response to concerns about climate change. Last year, a small hedge fund even managed to get new board members appointed at Exxon Mobil.

TotalEnergies published its own climate report in March. In it, Patrick Pouyanné wrote about its vision for 2050:

"Uusiutuvan sähkön osuus sen tuotannosta on puolet; uudet hiilittömät molekyylit biomassasta (biopolttoaineet ja biokaasu) tai uusiutuvasta sähköstä (vety ja e-polttoaineet) muodostavat neljänneksen ja hiilivedyt (öljy ja kaasu) lopun neljänneksen, ja niiden jäännöspäästöt otetaan talteen, kierrätetään tai kompensoidaan kokonaan."

Raportista käydään neuvoa-antava äänestys yhtiökokouksessa 25. toukokuuta, mutta siihen liitetään nyt tiedot vuosien 2025 ja 2030 tuotannon välitavoitteista energiatyypeittäin, toimialakohtaisista investointisuunnitelmista ja muista kasvihuonekaasupäästöihin liittyvistä tavoitteista.
