TotalEnergies (FR0000120271) sits at the center of a landmark Paris court decision on climate disclosures. The ruling requires the S&P 500 and CAC 40 constituent to map customer emissions and climate risks but does not force cuts to oil and gas output, according to a Reuters report.

What the Paris court decided

The Paris judicial court ruled that TotalEnergies must provide a detailed plan showing how its activities and products affect global warming, including so-called Scope 3 emissions from customers, as summarized on MarketScreener’s news overview. The judgment follows a lawsuit brought by several French and international NGOs under France’s duty-of-vigilance law.

At the same time, the court rejected demands to halt or limit TotalEnergies’ new oil and gas projects, a point the company highlighted in its own reaction to the decision published in late June 2026 on its investor pages. Management welcomed the ruling and said it confirms the group’s climate strategy remains compatible with French law.
