ENGIE reports comprehensive operational emissions with third-party verification and genuine 41% absolute reductions since 2017. But Scope 3 has stagnated since 2019, gas capacity remains 45.6 GW with no phase-out date, and lobbying records show active advocacy for long-term fossil gas roles that undermine Paris alignment.
