Crédit Agricole presents a paradox: operational emissions falling while financed emissions surge 43% annually, now at 164M tonnes CO2e. The bank has governance structures and RE100 membership, but ECB fined it €7.6M for delayed climate risk assessment, and it remains a top fossil fuel financier ($55.8B 2021–2024) with financed deforestation exposure unresolved.
