French multinational is ordered to remove its website messages about aiming for carbon neutrality
A French oil company engaged in “misleading commercial practices” about the scope of its environmental commitments, a court has ruled.
TotalEnergies, which this month said it aimed to “ramp up production of gas”, was found on Thursday to have probably misled consumers with claims about its climate policies. The civil court in Paris ordered the company to remove messages from its website that said it wanted to reach carbon neutrality by 2050 and be a big player in the energy transition.
