--Oil majors Shell, Eni, Exxon Mobil and TotalEnergies have

pursuing a potential $5 billion environmental fine, Bloomberg
reports, citing unnamed sources.
--The draft includes a pledge for additional investment in
social projects amounting to $110 million over the next two years,
Bloomberg reports.
--The settlement would follow the companies' legal victory last
year, after which the government continued to pursue the fine at
the appeals court, according to Bloomberg.
