EDF operates a 94% decarbonized electricity grid with strong operational emissions reporting and 63% Scope 1 reductions since 2017. Yet massive Scope 3 emissions (73.6 MtCO₂e) from gas resale dominate its footprint. Nuclear waste management, water intensity, and trade association misalignment on climate remain unresolved structural weaknesses.
