TotalEnergies has placed sustainable development in all its dimensions at the heart of its strategy, projects and operations, in order to contribute to the well-being of the populations.
TotalEnergies has structured its sustainable development approach for conducting its activities so as to contribute to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to which TotalEnergies committed its support in 2016.
TotalEnergies’ commitment to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals is based on 4 axes:
- Climate and Sustainable Energy;
- Caring for the Environment;
- Acting for the Well-being of Our Employees;
- Having a Positive Impact for Stakeholders.
Five Levers to Mobilize Our Employees
In 2024, to make these commitments a reality, the Company has identified 5 “Levers for a Sustainable Change” 1 to bring about collective change in our behaviors. They support our Sustainab’ALL approach, for which we have mobilized our 100,000 employees through the local progress plans defined at each of our sites.
1 - Energy consumption
In my operations, I review all my energy consumptions and aim to minimize them. In my projects, I design installations to minimize energy consumptions.
2 - Low-carbon operations
I promote the use of renewable energies and low-carbon technologies in my projects and my operations, taking into account a CO2 cost of $100/t. I do the same with my customers and suppliers to enable them to reduce their emissions.
3 - Discharges in the environment
In my operations, I review all discharges to air, water, oceans and soil, as well as waste, and aim to minimize them in the light of the best available technologies and practices. In my projects, I design installations to minimize pollution and waste.
4 - Our communities
I know the neighbors of my site and my stakeholders; I engage and maintain a constructive dialogue with them, including through the careful handling of complaints. I anticipate this dialogue right from the design stage of a new project.
5 – Care
I pay attention to my colleagues and report when one of them shows signs of not being well “mal-être”.
These 5 levers of action aim at collectively making our corporate culture evolve, over the long term, as we have been able to do over the past 20 years in the area of safety. Such an evolution implies a collective journey, which needs to be initiated by first focusing on certain priority behaviors.
