SDG 15 Life on land

15.1 Ecosystems preservation

Aware of the need to protect the nature on which humanity depends, the Company ensures that biodiversity is taken into account in all its operations. In 2020, TotalEnergies has set itself a new biodiversity ambition based on four core axes:

(1) voluntary exclusion zones,

(2) biodiversity management in projects,

(3) biodiversity management at existing sites and sites ceasing their activities,

(4) promoting biodiversity.

A biodiversity action plan (BAP) is developed for any new site located in an area of interest for biodiversity, that is IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Protected areas I to IV or Ramsar areas. In addition, for each new project located in an IUCN Protected area I or II or a Ramsar area, the Company commits to implement measures to produce a net positive impact (gain) on biodiversity.

15.5 Biodiversity-rich areas

TotalEnergies is creating biodiversity-rich areas (habitats for rare species, biodiversity sanctuaries, etc.) as a rehabilitation option for sites that have ceased their activity. Initial projects include the creation of a habitat for reptiles on the banks of the Garonne River and measures to conserve protected bird and amphibian species in Oberhoffen-sur-Moder, France.

URD 2021, 5.5.4 Managing impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems during projects and operations, p.313

15.6 Revenues

The model for managing areas must be integrated and shared with the local population. Within this framework, operations may comprise a variety of techniques (conservation, afforestation-reforestation, agroforestry, agricultural transition, blue carbon, etc.) and appropriate types of contracts (purchase contract, sustainable financing mechanism, impact funds, financed project, etc.). The goal is to combine and balance the value of agricultural and forestry revenues with the value of co-benefits for the population, soil, biodiversity, and the water cycle and that of carbon credits.

URD 2021, 3.6.8.4 Climate > Offsetting residual emissions with natural carbon sinks, p.172

15.9 Biodiversity ambition

In 2020, TotalEnergies set a new biodiversity ambition on the occasion of preparing for the United Nations’ global biodiversity plan, which aims to protect global biodiversity and updates its public commitments concerning biodiversity. The Company’s activities also incur risks for the environment, for which TotalEnergies has developed a structured management policy.

10.B Development assistance and financial flows

For each industrial project presented to the Company's Executive Committee, TotalEnergies' set itself as a target to maximise local employment and value creation for the host country through procurement, manufacturing and the development of local capacity and skills. In order to achieve this, TotalEnergies carries out an analysis of the local context in terms of regulations, stakeholder expectations and local economic and industrial capacities.

This forms the basis for calculating impact: jobs and local value created.

On the Tilenga project, the local content development approach should make it possible to:

create approximately 6,000 direct local jobs during the construction phase, and then approximately 3,000 during the operation phase.
create approximately 14,000 indirect local jobs during the construction phase, then approximately 5,000 during the operation phase.
spend approximately 700 million dollars with local suppliers during the construction phase, which is expected to generate up to 1.2 billion dollars in additional national economic wealth.

During the operation phase, the site is expected to spend approximately 60 million dollars per year with its suppliers, which is expected to generate approximately 100 million dollars in national economic wealth.

1.4 Societal impacts

Access to basic services

TotalEnergies has developed solutions to provide access to energy to populations living in remote areas without a connection or reliable access to the electricity grid, particularly in Africa and Asia. TotalEnergies has sold 4.3 million lamps and solar kits through distributors and its network of service stations. The products sold provided access to energy for more than 19 million people, with the objective of reaching 25 million by 2025.

Respect for human rights of local communities

TotalEnergies’ operational activities may have impacts on the human rights of local communities, in particular when TotalEnergies obtains temporary or permanent access to their land for projects that may involve the relocation of places of residence and/or economic activities and the resettlement of these populations. In addition, noise and dust emissions and other potential impacts may also have consequences for the livelihood of neighboring communities. Consequently, the access to land of local communities and their right to health and an adequate standard of living are two salient issues for TotalEnergies.

URD 2021, 5.7.2 Respect for human rights of local communities, p.337

In Mozambique, the identification of impacts related to land and livelihoods has led to a multi-year action plan (2018-2022) for local populations: construction of housing, programs to develop agricultural and fishing activities, and relocation of burial sites. The subsidiary also supported programmes for food aid, access to housing and aid for vulnerable people.

Indigenous and tribal people

TotalEnergies acknowledges the specificities of the rights of indigenous and tribal peoples (International Labor Organization Convention No. 169) and has developed a framework which defines principles to be followed with these communities. It encourages the use of experts in order to identify and understand these peoples’ expectations and specificities, to consult them and to contribute to their socio-economic development. This initiative is also consistent with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

SDG 17 Partnerships for the goals

17.1 Strengthen domestic resource mobilization

TotalEnergies has developed a responsible tax approach based on clear principles of action and rigorous governance rules as set out in its tax policy statement, which was released in 2014 and is available to the public on the website of TotalEnergies.

It is the Company’s long-term commitment not to create affiliates in countries generally acknowledged as tax havens and to repatriate or liquidate existing affiliates, where feasible.

In compliance with its goal to foster a global responsible tax environment and encourage best practices, the Company endorsed the Responsible Tax Principles developed by the B Team, a non-profit organization bringing together business leaders and representatives of civil society with the aim of promoting a sustainable form of economic and social development.
