Climate change is real. Day by day our planet is more polluted, therefore, hundreds of companies and governments take actions in favor of the environment, with the aim of reducing emissions and stopping climate change.
However, with these initiatives, the energy sector is one of the most affected since they are the ones that provide certain fuel for the entire world.
To prevent such policies from affecting their production and economy, the world's largest public oil and gas companies spend more than $200 million on lobbying to control, delay or block policies related to climate change.
This affects governments seeking to implement France Mobile Number List policies in the wake of the Paris Agreement, which are vital to meeting climate change goals.
Normally companies do not want to disclose these expenses, but within an InfluenceMap report it used a methodology focused on the best available records. Additionally, it conducted intensive research on corporate messaging to measure its level of influence on efforts to stop climate change.
According to Forbes, BP has the highest annual spending on climate lobbying at $53 million, followed by Shell at $49 million and ExxonMobil at $41 million. Chevron and Total each spend about $29 million each year. .
InfluenceMap claims that some of the spending goes towards sophisticated efforts to engage politicians and the general public on environmental policies that could affect the use of fossil fuels. A recent example of this is BP’s coordination of messaging across its social media channels and advertising platforms that reframe the climate crisis as a “dual” energy challenge.
The report ensures that these oil companies have spent more than $1 billion since the 2015 Paris Agreements on lobbying strategies , which have coincided with image-washing campaigns in favor of clean energy. Among others, Climate Action 100+ , a program of measures against climate change that incorporated the largest private firms in the world.
Each of the firms "whitens" their corporate image with corporate social responsibility programs and innovative renewable energy projects immersed in their foundations.
Although, in reality, they deploy millions of dollars to the survival of fossil fuels. That is, to maintain or expand global warming.
Blocking policies against climate change
The five firms mentioned above support their lobbying expenditures with $195 million for branding activities that suggest they support action against climate change.
They do this by employing common tactics to draw attention to low carbon emissions, position the company as a climate expert, and acknowledge climate concerns while ignoring solutions.
