🚨 Today, TotalEnergies raised €1.5 bn thanks to @societegenerale.com, HSBC, Intesa Sanpaolo, BBVA, J.P. Morgan, and Mizuho.

By issuing this bond, these banks enable the oil & gas giant to develop new fossil fuel projects like EACOP, Mozambique LNG, and Papua LNG.

πŸ“£ This support must stop.

These banks πŸ‘‰ Societe Generale, HSBC, Intesa Sanpaolo, J.P. Morgan, among others, publicly "rejected" the controversial #EACOP project but are now facilitating a €1.5B bond for #TotalEnergies, effectively keeping the project alive. Were their statements on #EACOP just PR technicalities? #StopEACOP

It was supported by Bank of America, BPCE/Natixis, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, MUFG, SMBC and Standard Chartered.

AFCON, like most sports, unites people.

It's a shame #TotalEnergies, which is building destructive #fossilfuels like the controversial #EACOP across the continent, harming people & sowing disunity, is using this event to clean up its image.

UK, Netherlands drop funding for TotalEnergies’ massacre-linked gas project The governments had been under pressure to ditch support for the scheme.

This is why we said, #EACJCourt ruling notwithstanding, the controversial #EACOP project, like the Mozambique LNG, remains risky.
