French oil and gas company Total Chief Executive Officer Patrick Pouyanne attends a shareholders meeting in Paris, France, May 24, 2016. REUTERS/Charles Platiau/File Photo, is the subject of a preliminary investigation into alleged conflict of interest, the French financial prosecutor's office said on Wednesday, confirming earlier reports.
The board of the prestigious Ecole Polytechnique voted in 2018 to allow TotalEnergies to build a research and innovation centre on the university's campus in Saclay, south of Paris. "There have never been any crossovers between my position as CEO of TotalEnergies and my membership of Polytechnique's board The TotalEnergies research centre project in Saclay was launched before I joined the Polytechnique board", Pouyanné said in an e-mail sent to Reuters.
"In this context, it is outrageous to claim I could have been in a conflict of interest position, let alone that a criminal offence could have been committed", Pouyanné said.
