With regard to the “alleged human rights violations linked to TotalEnergies’ operations at its - Afungi premises”, please note the following:

Following recent allegations of human rights abuses by the Mozambican armed forces in 2021 during the period when Mozambique LNG no longer had staff on the Afungi site, Mozambique LNG conducted a review of the elements in its possession at the time of the facts which did not allow to identify any corroborating information, although Mozambique LNG had several functioning information and grievance reporting channels at its disposal.

In October 2024, Mozambique LNG invited the Mozambican authorities to conduct an investigation on these allegations. The opening of an investigation has been confirmed by the Attorney General’s Office of Mozambique early March 2025.

In addition, TotalEnergies has requested the intervention of the Mozambican Commission on Human rights (CNDH). The CNDH confirmed on 25 March 2025 that it will carry out its own assessment of all relevant information to ensure that the facts are duly ascertained and that the rights of the parties involved are fully respected. It has stated that it will follow the investigation launched by the Mozambican judicial authorities to ensure that it is conducted in a transparent, fair and impartial manner. TotalEnergies will publish the CNDH report. [...]

With regard to the allegations of “communities of Afungi affected by unresolved resettlement violations resorted to protest at the gates of the TotalEnergies Afungi site in November; as of 17 January, community members have expressed dissatisfaction with the compensation offered by TotalEnergies”, please note the following:

(A) Resettlement context

In addition to rights to develop the resources, the LNG project concessionaires (Area 1 and Area 4), have been granted rights on land use by the Government of Mozambique over an area of circa 6,000 hectares in the Afungi peninsula covered by the DUAT (DUAT = land rights granted by the authorities for the onshore operations of the projects).

A Resettlement Plan complying with national legislation and international standards was approved by the Palma district Government in 2017 to manage the economic displacement of 1,680 households and the physical relocation of 643 households from the Quitupo village and neighboring production zones to a newly built Quitunda village. In addition, 1,879 fishermen and intertidal collectors (mostly women who harvest coastal resources) were identified along with fisheries. [...]

(B) Compensation

All 643 entitled households physically relocated have received their due compensation and their new homes in the Quitunda village, with the last group of families relocated in May 2024.

The status of compensation payment as of 1 January 2025 is as follows:

All of the 1,680 land-based economically impacted households have been paid their entitled monetary compensation.

Fisheries compensation has been paid to 1,386 fishermen and intertidal collectors (mostly women who harvest coastal resources) and remaining ongoing.

The Project continues to actively work on the Resettlement process in order to reach 100% of impacted stakeholders and notes that, from its perspective, the Resettlement process is well underway and ahead of schedule considering the two-year delay on the implementation of the RAP (Resettlement Action Plan) caused by the Force Majeure situation affecting the Project.
