Greenpeace France, Friends of the Earth France, Notre Affaire à Tous, and ClientEarth, have filed a lawsuit in France against oil giant TotalEnergies for deceptive marketing practices.

The NGOs claim that the company allegedly mislead the public over environmental claims, accusing it of greenwashing. They argue that TotalEnergies marketing campaign violates European consumer law by falsely portraying the company as being on track to achieve net zero emissions.

TotalEnergies denies any greenwashing claims, and declared "that its indirect emissions depend on the choices of its customers. It plans to defend itself against these accusations in court."
