How do you assess their reporting
and objectives? Is anything missing,
underestimated, inaccurate?
Total's reports and objectives are mainly
communicated via their website. Indeed, the
sustainable development tab is visible on the
first page of the company’s website. Total is a
petrochemical company, whose sector is
recognized for its negative environmental
impact. Although sustainable development
is written on the first page, Total talks very
little about the impact of its current activities
and projects. However, certain NGOs such as
Greenpeace denounce Total's lack of
commitment to a rapid and sustainable
transition of activity.

What is the gap between the current situation,
the company's objectives, and what would
need to be done to comply with the climate
change and biodiversity loss planetary
boundaries?

Currently, there is an inconsistency between the company's

objectives and what it is actually doing. As previously stated,
the company is being sued by NGOs for its bad activities
regarding its economic activity and damage to the
environment. The company should really reduce its
greenhouse gas emissions, so that there is no more global
warming and it stops affecting biodiversity.
For example:
Use of renewable energy (solar panels)
Investing in technology
Achieve established objectives
