Largest CO2 emitter owners in France, by group
The 42 CO2 emitter owners in France, each company counted under its ultimate parent and ranked by the verified emissions in 2025 of the CO2 emitters the group's companies own, operate or hold. ArcelorMittal France leads with 5,579,937 tCO2e across 2 CO2 emitters, ahead of TotalEnergies (5,173,381 tCO2e) and ArcelorMittal Mediterranee (3,547,605 tCO2e).
A group is a parent company in the data and every subsidiary under it (GLEIF, Wikidata and the UK register of people with significant control); a company with no parent in the data is a group of its own. Each CO2 emitter counts once per group, in whole, or by the group's share where a source records one. A CO2 emitter with owners or operators in two groups counts in both, so the sizes do not add up to France's total. The 42 groups listed are linked to 42,239,464 tCO2e; the CO2 emitters in France with verified emissions in 2025 recorded add up to 41,549,444 tCO2e.
