Industrial and Environmental Policies: Reciprocal Impacts

Total as a key player of the Oil and Gas industry is providing answers to 25 environmental challenges. In that respect, it has already developed environmental objectives and policies. Its environmental footprints is being assessed, controlled and reduced with a set of concrete means to improve its performance, a better selection of major challenges and a better report to external stake holders.
Energy and climate issues are inextricably interwoven, which means that we have to help to reconcile the objectives of today’s society, pursuing economic growth while protecting the climate for future generations. Faced with this predicament, we are assertively exploring two areas, energy management in our own facilities and those of our customers and technical solutions such as CO2 Capture and Storage to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere. But such policies need support and resources to pursue innovation and conduct research on new technologies. An effective and sufficiently consistent framework needs to be provided in order to align growth strategies with efficiency, innovation and environmental stewardship.
