The Paris Judicial Court in France ordered energy major TotalEnergies to revise its duty of vigilance plan concerning corporate risk management. The order calls for Scope 3, referring to greenhouse gas emissions generated when customers use the company’s products, to be incorporated into the plan.
The court reportedly set a specific deadline of within 6 months for completing the revision. The order applies to TotalEnergies, and the main focus of the revisions is expected to be the consideration of Scope 3.
The case is regarded as part of a broader movement to hold companies accountable for emissions across their entire supply chains, and is seen as potentially affecting similar litigation and regulatory responses in the future.
