TotalEnergies Pauses Business with Adani Group Amid Controversy
Total Energies, the French multinational energy giant, has announced it is halting new investments and business activities with the Adani Group, the Indian conglomerate embroiled in a series of financial and environmental controversies. The decision comes in the wake of concerns over Adani environmental practices and corporate governance, which have been under intense scrutiny following reports by short-seller Hindenburg Research.
The Hindenburg report, released earlier this year, accused the Adani Group of stock manipulation and accounting fraud, which significantly impacted the group financial standing. The revelations triggered a global wave of criticism, with investors and financial institutions reassessing their associations with the conglomerate.
Total Energies had previously been a partner in multiple energy ventures with the Adani Group, including joint projects in India renewable energy sector. However, mounting pressure from environmental groups and shareholders led to the suspension of further collaboration.
In a statement, TotalEnergies emphasized that its decision was aligned with the company commitment to maintaining high standards of transparency, corporate governance, and environmental responsibility.
This pause marks a significant shift in the business relations between TotalEnergies and the Adani Group, raising questions about the future of international partnerships with the Indian conglomerate.
