#StopEACOP Alliance Statement in Response to Total’s Recent Disclosures

A week after more than 260 African and international organisations sent an open letter to 25 banks urging them not to finance the construction of the EACOP, Total issued statements on its website describing its environmental and social risk assessment and mitigation strategies as “rigorous” and claimed to be acting “responsibly and transparently” on the social and environmental issues related to the projects.

The #StopEACOP Alliance has since examined the claims and the previously confidential reports, and has released this detailed statement in response.
