It appears that most respondents downplayed their role in mitigating the effects of climate change. Some emphasize the burden on governments to develop better climate policies.13 Other respondents call on collaboration among government, industry, and other stakeholders as if the actions of all contribute equally to climate change,14 despite studies, such as the Carbon Majors research by Richard Heede,15 demonstrating otherwise. A significant number of companies showed some increase in investment on low-carbon energy sources going forward. Low-carbon may still include climate polluting gas.16 Additionally, some companies have expressed support for implementing carbon capture, use, and storage technology, yet failed to disclose their investment in developing these yet unproven and not commercially viable technologies.17 Finally, there is a mismatch between some companies’ climate change commitments and their on-the-ground advocacy, based on research by InfluenceMap. • BHP Billiton has supported carbon taxing, energy intensity trading schemes, and technology-neutral approaches to emission reduction, while opposing renewable energy policies in and defending some fossil fuel subsidies in Australia.18 • Total S.A. has expressed support for an energy mix that is in line with the IEA’s 2°C, a price on carbon in the EU and the US. Yet, it appears that it has conditioned on rollbacks of significant climate change regulations like the Report.pdf, last accessed on 12 September 2019). Eni stated that its Stakeholder Management System “tool allows to survey and visualize, through a map, the relations with each category of stakeholder, highlighting any areas for improvement, with the possibility of better investigating the potential impacts on human rights, tracing the presence of vulnerable groups and the presence of areas of naturalistic and/or cultural value around the areas of activity, enabling a more conscious management of the operational realities.” ENI S.P.A.

This is one of the driving forces behind our taking the final investment decision in 2018 on LNG Canada, a major project in which Shell has a 40% interest.” 17 LafargeHolcim Ltd.

Companies such as LafargeHolcim mention their intent to invest in carbon capture and storage in the future, but give no monetary, timeline, feasibility assessment specific commitments and due diligence on the impacts. 18 InfluenceMap, BHP, available at https://influencemap.org/company/BHP-Billiton (last accessed on 12 September 2019).
