TOTALs Consolidated Financial Statements, which start on page 281 of the Universal Registration Document 2019 and are incorporated herein by reference, are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and IFRS as adopted by the European Union (EU) as of December 31, 2019.
In addition, this annual report on Form 20-F and the Universal Registration Document 2019 contain certain measures that are not defined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) such as IFRS.

TOTAL Form 20-F 2019 |
5.1 |
Overview |
TOTALs results are affected by a variety of factors, including changes in crude oil and natural gas prices as well as refining and marketing margins, which are all generally expressed in dollars, and changes in exchange rates, particularly the value of the euro compared to the dollar. Higher crude oil and natural gas prices generally have a positive effect on the income of TOTAL, since the Exploration & Production segments oil and gas business and Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power segments downstream gas business are positively impacted by the resulting increase in revenues. Lower crude oil and natural gas prices generally have a corresponding negative effect. The effect of changes in crude oil prices on the activities of TOTALs Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services segments depends upon the speed at which the prices of refined petroleum products adjust to reflect such changes. TOTALs results are also significantly affected by the costs of its activities, in particular those related to exploration and production, and by the outcome of its strategic decisions with respect to cost reduction efforts. In addition, TOTALs results are affected by general economic and political conditions and changes in governmental laws and regulations, as well as by the impact of decisions by OPEC on production levels. For more information, refer to Item 3. - 3.2 Risk factors.
In 2019, the Group generated cash flow (DACF)(1) of $28.5 billion, a strong growth of $2.4 billion compared to 2018, due to a positive contribution from all segments. This performance was achieved despite the decrease in oil prices and European gas prices of respectively 10% and 38%, corresponding to a decrease of the price environment by approximately 20% on average in 2019. The Group reported solid adjusted net income for 2019 of $11.8 billion, a decrease of 13%, and a return on equity above 10%. The Group reduced its pre-dividend organic cash breakeven to less than $25/b.
In the Upstream(2), start-ups and ramp-ups including Yamal LNG in Russia and Ichthys in Australia, Egina in Nigeria and Kaombo in Angola, generated strong cash flow and fueled production growth of 9% for the year, with an increase in LNG production of nearly 50%.
The Exploration & Production segments cash flow(3) increased to $18 billion, despite the deterioration of the environment. The iGRP segment generated a cash flow(3) of $3.7 billion, an increase of 81% compared to 2018, mostly due to the increase in LNG sales of nearly 60%.
The Downstream(4) generated a cash flow(3) of $6.6 billion, notably due to its non-cyclical activities and despite a decrease in refining and petrochemical margins of approximately 10% in 2019.
Net investments(5) rose to $17.4 billion and reflect in particular the strategy to strengthen LNG and deep offshore, as demonstrated by the acquisition of Mozambique LNG and the launch of Arctic LNG 2 in Russia and Mero 2 in Brazil. More than one-third of the Groups 2019 net investments were made in the iGRP segment, which leads the Groups low carbon ambition. The Group enters the gas and renewables market in India in partnership with Adani and will build a giant 800 MW solar power plant in Qatar.
In 2019, the Group maintained a solid financial position with gearing(6) ratio of 16.7% excluding capitalized leases (20.7% including).
In accordance with the decision of the board of directors of TOTAL S.A. announced on September 24, the Group increased the 2019 final dividend by 6% to 0.68 per share. Including the interim dividends, the full-year 2019 dividend increased by 5% to 2.68 per share. Finally, the Group bought back $1.75 billion of its shares in 2019.
Outlook
The environment remains volatile, given the uncertainty about hydrocarbon demand related to the outlook for global economic growth and a context of geopolitical instability.
The Covid-19 epidemic that began in December 2019, in China, has been impacting demand since the beginning of the first quarter 2020 and has caused oil prices to fall significantly.
In this context of oversupply, the decision on March 6, 2020 by OPEC and Russia to stop their cooperation on the markets caused crude oil prices to fall sharply, by around 30%.
A decrease in the average sales price of liquids of 10 dollars per barrel results over a quarter in a decrease of an adjusted net operating income of approximately $725 million and a decrease in cash flow from operating activities of approximately $825 million.
Despite the uncertainties related to Covid-19 and oil supply policies, the Groups fundamentals remain strong.
The Group has an organic cash break-even less than 25 $/b and a controlled level of debt (gearing excluding leases of 17% as at December 31, 2019). Since 2015, it has implemented a spending discipline policy and announced in September 2019 the extension of its savings programs beyond 2020. In addition, it has flexibility on its investment programs since almost 20% of the upstream CAPEX are short cycle capex, i.e. flexible in the short term.
The Group expects to continue to implement its strategy for profitable growth on the integrated gas and low-carbon electricity chains. LNG sales are expected to benefit, notably in 2020, from the start-ups of Yamal LNG train 4 as well as Cameron LNG train 3 and are expected to be higher than 30 million tons per year.
(1) Cash flow refers to DACF. DACF = debt adjusted cash flow, is defined as cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital at replacement cost, without financial charges.
(2) The Group Upstream hydrocarbons activities include the oil and gas exploration and production activities of the Exploration & Production and the Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power segments. They do not include power generation facilities based on renewable sources or natural gas such as combined-cycle natural gas power plants.
(3) Operating cash flow before working capital changes is defined as cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital at replacement cost, without financial charges except those related to leases.
(4) |
Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services segments. |
(5) |
Net investments = organic investments + net acquisitions. |
(6) Gearing refers to the net-debt-to-capital-ratio. Net-debt-to-capital-ratio= net debt/ (net debt + shareholders equity). For additional information, refer to Note 15.1 (E) (Net-debt-to-capital ratio) to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Universal Registration Document 2019 (on page 357), which is incorporated herein by reference.

As such, in an environment of 60$/b, the Groups cash-flow would be increasing approximately 1 billion dollars per year starting from 2019.
Spending discipline is maintained and the Group continues its cost reduction program with an objective of more than $5 billion in cumulative savings in 2020.In a 60 $/b environment, net investments(7) in 2020 would be in the range of $18 billion, with the Group expecting to complete its $5 billion asset sale program over the years 2019-2020 (~$3 billion were already announced).
Organic production growth is expected to be above 2% in 2020, due to ramp-ups of projects started in 2019 and expected start-ups in 2020, notably Iara 2 in Brazil. However, the exportations in Libya have stopped since mid-February; if this situation were to continue over the full year, it would impact almost 2% of the growth in annual production.
Since the start of the fourth quarter 2019 until the OPEC decision on March 6, 2020, global refining margins were weak as a result of high product inventories and oil prices supported by OPEC. These margins increased, however, following the sharp drop in the price of oil. The Downstream will continue to rely on its diversified portfolio, notably its integrated platforms in the Refining & Chemicals segment as well as its non-cyclical businesses.

2019 vs. 2018
In 2019, market conditions were less favorable than in 2018. The Brent price decreased to $64.2/b on average in 2019 from $71.3/b on average in 2018, while remaining volatile. In 2019, TOTALs average liquids price realization(8) decreased by 7% to $59.8 in 2019 from $64.3/b in 2018. TOTALs average gas price realization(8) decreased by 20% to $3.88/Mbtu in 2019 from $4.87/Mbtu in 2018. The Groups European refining variable cost margin (VCM) decreased by 9% to $34.9/t on average in 2019 compared to $38.2/t in 2018, mainly due to decreasing crude oil prices.
For the full-year 2019, hydrocarbon production was 3,014 kboe/d, an increase of 9% compared to 2,775 in 2018, due to:
- |
+13% related to the start-up and ramp-up of new projects, including Yamal LNG in Russia, Egina in Nigeria, Ichthys in Australia, Kaombo in Angola, Culzean in the United Kingdom and Johan Sverdrup in Norway; |
- |
-3% due to the natural decline of the fields; and |
- |
-1% due to maintenance, notably in Nigeria, Norway and the Tyra redevelopment project in Denmark. |
The euro-dollar exchange rate averaged $1.1195/ in 2019, compared to $1.1810/ in 2018.
Non-Group sales were $200,316 million in 2019 compared to $209,363 million in 2018, a decrease of 4% reflecting the decreased hydrocarbon prices, partially offset by the increase of the Groups production in 2019. In 2019, Non-Group sales decreased by 27% for the Exploration & Production segment, 5% for the Refining & Chemicals segment and 3% for the Marketing & Services segment. The Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power segments Non-Group sales increased by 5% in 2019.
Net income (Group share) decreased by 2% to $11,267 million in 2019 compared to $11,446 million in 2018, mainly due to lower hydrocarbon prices, partially offset by growth of the Groups hydrocarbon production. In 2019, adjustments to net income (Group share), which include the after-tax inventory effect, special items and the impact of changes in fair value, had a negative impact of $561 million mainly due to impairments on assets mainly located in the United States (Utica, Chinook). For a detailed overview of adjustment items for 2019, refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Universal Registration Document 2019 (starting on page 296), which is incorporated herein by reference. In 2018, adjustments to net income (Group share), which include the after-tax inventory effect, special items and the impact of changes in fair value, had a negative impact of $2,113 million, mainly due to an inventory effect and an impairments on Ichthys related to the sale of a partial interest by the Group, as well as the impairment of production facilities by SunPower(9).
Income taxes in 2019 amounted to $5,872 million, a decrease of 9.9% compared to $6,516 in 2018, due to the relative weight and lower tax rates in the Upstream and a lower hydrocarbon price environment.
In 2019, the Company bought back 52,389,336 TOTAL shares on the market, i.e. 2.01% of the Companys outstanding share capital as of December 31, 2019. See also - 5.4.4 Shareholders equity, below. In 2018, the Company bought back 72,766,481 TOTAL shares on the market, i.e., 2.76% of the Companys outstanding share capital as of December 31, 2018.
Fully-diluted earnings per share was $4.17 in 2019 compared to $4.24 in 2018, a decrease of 2%.

interest in the Danish Underground Consortium in Denmark. Acquisitions(10) completed were $8,314 million for the full-year 2018, including $4,493 million in resource acquisitions(11), comprised of the extension of licenses in Nigeria and the acquisition of a network of service stations in Brazil, as well as notably the acquisitions of Direct Énergie, Engies LNG business, the increase in the share of Novatek to 19.4%, interests in the Iara and Lapa fields in Brazil, two new 40-year offshore concessions in Abu Dhabi, which follow the previous Abu Dhabi Marine Areas Ltd (ADMA) offshore concession, and the acquisition of offshore assets from Cobalt in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Groups cash flow from operating activities for the full-year 2019 was $24,685 million compared to $24,703 million for the full-year 2018. The change in working capital at replacement cost for the full-year 2019, which is the increase in working capital of $1,718 million as determined in accordance with IFRS adjusted for the pre-tax inventory valuation effect of $446 million, was $1,272 million, compared to $174 million for the full-year 2018. Operating cash flow excluding the change in working capital at replacement cost for the full-year 2019 was $26,432 million(12), an increase of 8% compared to $24,529 million for the full-year 2018. Operating cash flow excluding the change in working capital at replacement cost and excluding financial charges (DACF) for the full-year 2019 was $28,501 million, an increase of 9% compared to $26,067 million for the full-year 2018. The Groups net cash flow(13) remained stable in 2019 at $8,983 million for the full-year 2019, compared to 8,961 for the full-year 2018. The start-up of strong cash flow generating projects such as Yamal LNG in Russia, Ichthys in Australia, Kaombo in Angola and Egina in Nigeria offset the impact of lower Brent and gas prices.

2018 vs. 2017
In 2018, market conditions were more favorable than in 2017. The Brent price rose to $71.3/b on average in 2018 from $54.2/b in 2017, while remaining volatile. In 2018, TOTALs average liquids price realization(14) increased by 28% to $64.2/b in 2018 from $50.2/b in 2017. TOTALs average gas price realization(14) increased by 19% to $4.87/Mbtu in 2018 from $4.09/Mbtu in 2017. The Groups VCM Indicator decreased by 16% to $38.2/t on average in 2018 compared to $45.6/t in 2017.
For the full-year 2018, hydrocarbon production was 2,775 kboe/d, an increase of more than 8% compared to 2,566 in 2017, due to:
- |
+9% for start-ups and ramp-ups on new projects, notably Yamal LNG, Moho Nord, Fort Hills, Kashagan, Kaombo Norte and Ichthys; |
- |
+3% portfolio effect. The addition of Maersk Oil, Al Shaheen in Qatar, Waha in Libya, Lapa and Iara in Brazil as well as the acquisition of an additional 0.5% of Novatek were partially offset by the expiration of the Mahakam permit at the end of 2017 and the sales of Visund in Norway and Rabi in Gabon; and |
- |
-4% for natural field declines and PSC price effect (15). |
The euro-dollar exchange rate averaged $1.1810/ in 2018, compared to $1.1297/ in 2017.
Non-Group sales were $209,363 million in 2018 compared to $171,493 million in 2017, an increase of 22% reflecting the increased hydrocarbon prices and Group production. Non-Group sales increased by 52% for the Exploration & Production segment, 16% for the Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power segment, 22% for the Refining & Chemicals segment and 21% for the Marketing & Services segment.
Net income (Group share) in 2018 increased by 33% to $11,446 million in 2018 compared to $8,631 million in 2017, mainly due to higher hydrocarbon prices and growth of the Groups production. Adjustments to net income (Group share), which include the after-tax inventory effect, special items and the impact of changes in fair value, had a negative impact of $2,113 million in 2018, mainly due to an inventory effect and impairments on Ichthys related to the sale of a partial interest by the Group, as well as the impairment of production facilities by SunPower(16). For a detailed overview of adjustment items for 2018, refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Universal Registration Document 2019 (starting on page 296), which is incorporated herein by reference. In 2017, adjustments to net income (Group share), which included special items of $(2,213) million and after-tax inventory valuation effect of $282 million, had a negative impact on net income (Group share) of $1,947 million. Special items in 2017 included mainly impairments of Fort Hills in Canada (following the operator announcement of the increase of the projects costs), Gladstone LNG in Australia and assets in Congo, partially offset by a gain on the sale of Atotech. Excluding these items, adjusted net income increased by 28% to $13,559 million in 2018, compared to $10,578 million in 2017, in line with the contribution from the segments.
Income taxes in 2018 amounted to $6,516 million, 2.2 times higher than $3,029 million in 2017, due to the relative weight and higher tax rates in the Exploration & Production segment in a higher hydrocarbon price environment.
(11) Resource acquisitions = acquisition of a participating interest in an oil and gas mining property by way of an assignment of rights and obligations in the corresponding permit or license and related contracts, with a view to producing the recoverable oil and gas.

(13) Net cash flow = operating cash flow before working capital changes - net investments (including other transactions with non-controlling interests).
(14) Consolidated subsidiaries, excluding stock value variation.
(15) The PSC price effect refers to the impact of changing hydrocarbon prices on entitlement volumes from production sharing and buyback contracts. For example, as the price of oil or gas increases above certain pre-determined levels, TOTALs share of production generally decreases.
(16) As at December 31, 2019, TOTAL held an interest of 46.74% in SunPower. As at December 31, 2018, TOTAL held an interest of 55.66% in SunPower, an American company listed on NASDAQ and based in California.

Business segment reporting |
The financial information for each business segment is reported on the same basis as that used internally by the chief operating decision-maker in assessing segment performance and the allocation of segment resources. Due to their particular nature or significance, certain transactions qualifying as special items are excluded from the business segment figures. In general, special items relate to transactions that are significant, infrequent or unusual. In certain instances, certain transactions such as restructuring costs or asset disposals, which are not considered to be representative of the normal course of business, may qualify as special items although they may have occurred in prior years or are likely to recur in following years.
In accordance with IAS 2, the Group values inventories of petroleum products in its financial statements according to the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method and other inventories using the weighted-average cost method. Under the FIFO method, the cost of inventory is based on the historic cost of acquisition or manufacture rather than the current replacement cost. In volatile energy markets, this can have a significant distorting effect on the reported income. Accordingly, the adjusted results of the Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services segments are presented according to the replacement cost method in order to facilitate the comparability of the Groups results with those of its competitors and to help illustrate the operating performance of these segments excluding the impact of oil price changes on the replacement of inventories. In the replacement cost method, which approximates the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) method, the variation of inventory values in the statement of income is, depending on the nature of the inventory, determined using either the month-end price differential between one period and another or the average prices of the period. The inventory valuation effect is the difference between the results under the FIFO and replacement cost methods.
The effect of changes in fair value presented as an adjustment item reflects, for trading inventories and storage contracts, differences between internal measures of performance used by TOTALs management and the accounting for these transactions under IFRS, which requires that trading inventories be recorded at their fair value using period-end spot prices. In order to best reflect the management of economic exposure through derivative transactions, internal indicators used to measure performance include valuations of trading inventories recorded at their fair value based on forward prices. Furthermore, TOTAL, in its trading activities, enters into storage contracts, the future effects of which are recorded at fair value in the Groups internal economic performance. IFRS, by requiring accounting for storage contracts on an accrual basis, precludes recognition of this fair value effect.
The adjusted business segment results (adjusted operating income and adjusted net operating income) are defined as replacement cost results, adjusted for special items, excluding the effect of changes in fair value. For further information on the adjustments affecting operating income on a segment-by-segment basis, and for a reconciliation of segment figures to figures reported in the Companys audited Consolidated Financial Statements, see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Universal Registration Document 2019 (starting on page 296), which is incorporated herein by reference.
The Group measures performance at the segment level on the basis of adjusted net operating income. Net operating income comprises operating income of the relevant segment after deducting the amortization and the depreciation of intangible assets other than leasehold rights, translation adjustments and gains or losses on the sale of assets, as well as all other income and

expenses related to capital employed (dividends from non-consolidated companies, income from equity affiliates and capitalized interest expenses) and after income taxes applicable to the above. The income and expenses not included in net operating income that are included in net income are interest expenses related to long-term liabilities net of interest earned on cash and cash equivalents, after applicable income taxes (net cost of net debt and non-controlling interests). Adjusted net operating income excludes the effect of the adjustments (special items and the inventory valuation effect) described above. For further discussion of the calculation of net operating income and the calculation of return on average capital employed (ROACE(19)), see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Universal Registration Document 2019 (starting on page 296), which is incorporated herein by reference.
The profitable growth in the gas and low carbon electricity integrated value chains is one of the key axes of TOTALs strategy. In order to give more visibility to these businesses, a new reporting structure for the business segments financial information has been implemented effective January 1, 2019. The organization of the Groups activities is structured around the following four segments: Exploration & Production (EP), Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power (iGRP - comprising TOTALs integrated gas (including LNG) and low carbon electricity businesses and the upstream and midstream LNG activity that was previously reported in the EP segment), Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services. Certain figures for the years 2017 and 2018 have been restated in order to reflect the new reporting structure for the business segments financial information.

In the current environment, TOTAL expects its external debt to be principally financed from the international debt capital markets. The Group continually monitors the balance between cash flow from operating activities and net expenditures. In the Companys opinion, its working capital is sufficient for its present requirements.

Cash flow |
Cash flow from operating activities in 2019 was $24,685 million compared to $24,703 million in 2018 and $22,319 million in 2017. The decrease of $18 million from 2018 to 2019 was mainly due to the decrease in net income.
Cash flow used in investing activities in 2019 was $17,177 million compared to $14,946 million in 2018 and $11,632 million in 2017. The increase of $2,231 million from 2018 to 2019 was mainly due to lower divestments in the Exploration & Production segment. The increase of $3,314 million from 2017 to 2018 was mainly due to higher expenditures in the portfolio of Exploration & Production segment (acquisition of Iara/Lapa in Brazil and Umm Shaif & Nasr and Lower Zakum in Abu Dhabi) and Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power segments (acquisitions of Direct Énergie and Engies upstream LNG business). Total expenditures in 2019 were $19,237 million compared to $22,185 million in 2018 and $16,896 million in 2017. During 2019, 47% of the expenditures were made by the Exploration & Production segment (as compared to 62% in 2018 and 59% in 2017), 37% by the Integrated Gas, Power & Renewables segment (as compared to 23% in 2018 and 21% in 2017), 9% by the Refining & Chemicals segment (compared to 8% in 2018 and 10% in 2017) and 7% by the Marketing & Services segment (compared to 7% in 2018 and 9% in 2017). The main source of funding for these expenditures was cash from operating activities and issuances of non-current debt. For additional information on expenditures, please refer to the discussions in - 5.1 Overview, - 5.2 Group results 2017-2019 and - 5.3 Business segment reporting, above, and point 2.6 (Investments) of chapter 2 of the Universal Registration Document 2019 (starting on page 74), which is incorporated herein by reference.
Divestments, based on selling price and net of cash sold, in 2019 were $2,060 million compared to $7,239 million in 2018 and $5,264 million in 2017. In 2019, the Groups principal divestments were assets sales of $1,939 million, consisting mainly of the sales described in - 5.2 Group results 2017-2019 above.

Cash flow from/(used in) financing activities in 2019 was $(7,709) million compared to $(13,925) million in 2018 and $(5,540) million in 2017. The decrease in cash flow used in financing activities in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to the decrease in buyback of shares ($2,810 million in 2019 compared to $4,328 million in 2018), the increase in the net issuance of non-current debt ($8,131 million in 2019 compared to $649 million in 2018) and the decrease in current financial assets and liabilities ($536 million in 2019 compared to $797 million in 2018).
The decrease in cash flow from financing activities in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to the buyback of shares in 2018 ($4,328 million in 2018 compared to $0 in 2017), the decrease in the net issuance of non-current debt ($649 million in 2018 compared to $2,277 million in 2017) and the decrease in current financial assets and liabilities ($797 million in 2018 compared to an increase of $1,903 million in 2017).

This section generally summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax and French tax consequences of owning and disposing of shares or ADSs of TOTAL to U.S. Holders that hold their shares or ADSs as capital assets for tax purposes. A U.S. Holder is a beneficial owner of shares or ADSs that is (i) a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (ii) a domestic corporation or other domestic entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (iii) an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust if (1) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trusts administration and one or more U.S. persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.
This section does not address the Medicare tax on net investment income and does not apply to members of special classes of holders subject to special rules, including without limitation:
- |
broker-dealers; |
- |
traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings; |
- |
tax-exempt organizations; |
- |
certain financial institutions; |
- |
insurance companies; |
- |
U.S. pension funds; |
- |
U.S. Regulated Investment Companies (RICs), Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMICs); |
- |
persons who are liable for the alternative minimum tax; |
- |
persons that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the shares of TOTAL (by vote or value); |
- |
persons who acquired the shares or ADS pursuant to the exercise of any employee share option or otherwise as consideration; |
- |
persons that purchase or sell shares or ADSs as part of a wash sale for U.S. federal income tax purposes; |
- |
persons holding offsetting positions in respect of the shares or ADSs (including as part of a straddle, hedging, conversion or integrated transaction); |
- |
persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to the shares or ADSs being taken into account in an applicable financial statement; |
- |
U.S. expatriates; and |
- |
persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. |
If a partnership or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds shares or ADSs, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. Partners of a partnership holding these shares or ADSs should consult their tax advisors as to the tax consequences of owning or disposing of shares or ADSs, as applicable.

Under French law, specific rules apply to trusts, in particular specific tax and filing requirements; additionally, specific rules apply to wealth, estate and gift taxes as they apply to trusts. Given the complex nature of these rules and the fact that their application varies depending on the status of the trust, the grantor, the beneficiary and the assets held in the trust, the following summary does not address the tax treatment of shares or ADSs held in a trust. If shares or ADSs are held in trust, the grantor, trustee and beneficiary are urged to consult their own tax advisor regarding the specific tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of shares or ADSs.
In addition, the discussion below is limited to U.S. Holders that (i) are residents of the United States for purposes of the Treaty (as defined below), (ii) do not maintain a permanent establishment or fixed base in France to which the shares or ADSs are attributable and through which the respective U.S. Holders carry on, or have carried on, a business (or, if the holder is an individual, performs or has performed independent personal services), and (iii) are otherwise eligible for the benefits of the Treaty in respect of income and gain from the shares or ADSs (in particular, under the Limitation on Benefits provision of the Treaty). In addition, this section is based in part upon the representations of the Depositary and the assumption that each obligation in the Deposit Agreement and any related agreement will be performed in accordance with its terms.
The discussions below of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders of owning and disposing of shares or ADSs of TOTAL are based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (IRC), Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could affect the tax consequences described below. The description of the material French tax consequences is based on the laws of the Republic of France and French tax regulations, all as currently in effect, as well as on the Convention Between the United States and the Republic of France for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with respect to Taxes on Income and Capital dated August 31, 1994, as amended (the Treaty). These laws, regulations and the Treaty are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.
In general, and taking into account the earlier assumptions, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. Holder of ADRs evidencing ADSs will be treated as the owner of the shares represented by those ADRs. Exchanges of shares for ADRs, and ADRs for shares, generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. The U.S. Treasury has expressed concerns that intermediaries in the chain of ownership between the holder of an ADS and the issuer of the security underlying the ADS may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the beneficial ownership of the underlying security. Accordingly, the creditability of any French taxes and the availability of the reduced tax rate for any dividends received by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders (as discussed below), could be affected by actions taken by intermediaries in the chain of ownership between the holders of the ADSs and TOTAL if as a result of such actions the U.S. Holders of the ADSs are not properly treated as beneficial owners of underlying shares.
This discussion is intended only as a descriptive summary and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential tax effects of the ownership or disposition of the shares and ADSs and is not intended to substitute competent professional advice. Individual situations of holders of shares and ADSs may vary from the description made below. The following summary does not address the French tax treatment applicable to dividends paid in so-called Non Cooperative Countries and Territories (NCCT) within the meaning of Article 238-0 A of the French Code général des impôts (French Tax Code) as such provision or list may be amended from time to time or replaced by any other provision or list having a similar purpose. It does not apply to dividends paid to persons established or domiciled in such a NCCT, or paid to a bank account opened in a financial institution located in such a NCCT, nor does it apply to capital gains realized by persons established or domiciled in such a NCCT. Furthermore, the following summary does not address the tax treatment applicable to temporary transfers and other similar transactions which could, under certain conditions, fall within the scope of the new anti-abuse measure set forth in Article 119 bis A of the French Tax Code.
Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state and local, and the French and other tax consequences of owning and disposing shares or ADSs of TOTAL in their respective circumstances. In particular, a holder is encouraged to confirm with its advisor whether the holder is a U.S. Holder eligible for the benefits of the Treaty.
10.5.2 |
Taxation of dividends |
French taxation
The term dividends used in the following discussion means dividends within the meaning of the Treaty.
Dividends paid to non-residents of France who are U.S. Holders are in principle subject to a French withholding tax regardless of whether they are paid in cash, in shares or a mix of both. The French withholding tax is levied (i) at a rate of 12.8% for dividends paid to U.S. Holders who are individuals and (ii) at a rate of 30% in 2019 (to be reduced and aligned on the standard corporate income tax rate set forth in the second paragraph of Article 219-I of the French Tax Code which is anticipated to decrease to 25% over the next fiscal years) for dividends paid to U.S. Holders that are legal entities (the Legal Entities U.S. Holders) subject to more favorable provisions of the Treaty as described below and certain more favorable French domestic law provisions.
However, under the Treaty, a U.S. Holder is generally entitled to a reduced rate of French withholding tax of 15% with respect to dividends, provided that certain requirements are satisfied. This reduced rate is, in practice, only of interest to Legal Entities U.S. Holders subject to the withholding tax at a rate of 30% in 2019.
Administrative guidelines (Bulletin Officiel des Finances Publiques, BOI-INT-DG-20-20-20-20-20120912) (the Administrative Guidelines) set forth the conditions under which the reduced French withholding tax at the rate of 15% may be available. The immediate application of the reduced 15% rate is available to those U.S. Holders that may benefit from the so-called simplified procedure (within the meaning of the Administrative Guidelines).
20 |
TOTAL Form 20-F 2019 |
Under the simplified procedure, U.S. Holders may claim the immediate application of withholding tax at the rate of 15% on the dividends to be received by them, provided that:
(i) |
they furnish to the U.S. financial institution managing their securities account a certificate of residence conforming with form No. 5000-FR. The immediate application of the 15% withholding tax will be available only if the certificate of residence is sent to the U.S. financial institution managing their securities account no later than the dividend payment date. Furthermore, each financial institution managing the U.S. Holders securities account must also send to the French paying agent the figure of the total amount of dividends to be received which are eligible to the reduced withholding tax rate before the dividend payment date; and |
(ii) |
the U.S. financial institution managing the U.S. Holders securities account provides the French paying agent with a list of the eligible U.S. Holders and other pieces of information set forth in the Administrative Guidelines. Furthermore, the financial institution managing the U.S. Holders securities account should certify that the U.S. Holder is, to the best of its knowledge, a United States resident within the meaning of the Treaty. These documents must be sent to the French paying agent within a time frame that will allow the French paying agent to file them no later than the end of the third month computed as from the end of the month of the dividend payment date. |
Where the U.S. Holders identity and tax residence are known by the French paying agent, the latter may release such U.S. Holder from furnishing to (i) the financial institution managing its securities account, or (ii) as the case may be, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the abovementioned certificate of residence, and apply the 15% withholding tax rate to dividends it pays to such U.S. Holder.
For a U.S. Holder that is not entitled to the simplified procedure and whose identity and tax residence are not known by the paying agent at the time of the payment, the French withholding tax at the domestic rate will be levied at the time the dividends are paid. Such U.S. Holder, however, may be entitled to a refund of the withholding tax in excess of the 15% rate under the standard procedure, as opposed to the simplified procedure, provided that the U.S. Holder furnishes to the French paying agent an application for refund on forms No. 5000-FR and 5001-FR (or any other relevant form to be issued by the French tax authorities) certified by the U.S. financial institution managing the U.S. Holders securities account (or, if not, by the competent U.S. tax authorities) before December 31 of the second year following the date of payment of the withholding tax at the domestic rate to the French tax authorities, according to the requirements provided by the Administrative Guidelines.
Copies of forms No. 5000-FR and 5001-FR (or any other relevant form to be issued by the French tax authorities) as well as the form of the certificate of residence and the U.S. financial institution certification, together with instructions, are available from the IRS and the French tax authorities.
These forms, together with instructions, are to be provided by the Depositary to all U.S. Holders of ADRs registered with the Depositary. The Depositary is to use reasonable efforts to follow the procedures established by the French tax authorities for U.S. Holders to benefit from the immediate application of the 15% French withholding tax rate or, as the case may be, to recover the excess 15% French withholding tax initially withheld and deducted in respect of dividends distributed to them by TOTAL. To effect such benefit or recovery, the Depositary shall advise such U.S. Holder to return the relevant forms to it, properly completed and executed. Upon receipt of the relevant forms properly completed and executed by such U.S. Holder, the Depositary shall cause them to be filed with the appropriate French tax authorities, and upon receipt of any resulting remittance, the Depositary shall distribute to the U.S. Holder entitled thereto, as soon as practicable, the proceeds thereof in U.S. dollars.
The identity and address of the French paying agent are available from TOTAL.
In addition, subject to certain specific filing obligations, there is no withholding tax on dividend payments made by French companies to:
(i) |
non-French collective investment funds formed under foreign law and established in a Member State of the European Union or in another State or territory, such as the United States, that has entered with France into an administrative assistance agreement for the purpose of combating fraud and tax evasion, and which fulfill the two following conditions: (a) the fund raises capital among a number of investors for the purpose of investing in accordance with a defined investment policy, in the interest of its investors, and (b) the fund has characteristics similar to those of collective investment funds organized under French law fulfilling the conditions set forth in Article 119-bis 2, 2 of the French Tax Code and the Administrative Guidelines Bulletin Officiel des Finances Publiques, BOI-RPPM-RCM-30-30-20-70-20170607 (i.e., among others, open-end mutual fund (OPCVM), open-end real estate fund (OPCI) and closed-end investment companies (SICAF)); and |
(ii) |
companies whose effective place of management is, or which have a permanent establishment receiving the dividends, in a Member State of the European Union or in another State or territory that has entered with France into an administrative assistance agreement for the purpose of combating fraud and tax evasion, such as the United States, that are in a loss-making position and subject, at the time of the distribution, to insolvency proceedings similar to the one set out in Article L. 640-1 of the French Commercial Code (or where there is no such procedure available, in a situation of cessation of payments with recovery being manifestly impossible) and that meet the other conditions set out in Article 119 quinquies of the French Tax Code as specified by the Administrative Guidelines Bulletin Officiel des Finances Publiques, BOI-RPPM-RCM-30-30-20-80-20160406. |
Collective investment funds and companies mentioned in (ii) above are urged to consult their own tax advisors to confirm whether they are eligible to such provisions and under which conditions.
U.S. taxation
For U.S. federal income tax purposes and subject to the passive foreign investment company rules discussed below, the gross amount of any dividend that a U.S. Holder must include in gross income equals the amount paid by TOTAL (i.e., the net distribution received plus any tax withheld therefrom) from its current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes). Dividends will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to a U.S. corporation
Form 20-F 2019 TOTAL |
21 |
under IRC section 243. Distributions, if any, in excess of such current and accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will constitute a non-taxable return of capital to a U.S. Holder and will be applied against and reduce such U.S. Holders tax basis in such shares or ADSs, but not below zero. To the extent that such distributions are in excess of such basis, the distributions will constitute capital gain. Because TOTAL does not currently maintain calculations of earnings and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. Holder of shares or ADSs of TOTAL should expect to treat the entire amount of distributions paid with respect to the shares or ADSs as dividends.
Dividends paid to a non-corporate U.S. Holder that constitute qualified dividend income will be taxable to the holder at the preferential rates applicable to long-term capital gains provided (1) the Company is neither a passive foreign investment company nor treated as such with respect to the U.S. Holder for the taxable year in which the dividend was paid and the preceding taxable year and (2) certain holding period requirements are met. TOTAL believes that dividends paid by TOTAL with respect to its shares or ADSs will be qualified dividend income. The dividend is taxable to the U.S. Holder when the holder, in the case of shares, or the Depositary, in the case of ADSs, receives the dividend, actually or constructively.
The amount of any dividend distribution includible in the income of a U.S. Holder equals the U.S. dollar value of the euro payment made, determined at the spot euro/dollar exchange rate on the date the dividend distribution is includible in the U.S. Holders income, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. Any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date the dividend payment is includible in the U.S. Holders income to the date the payment is converted into U.S. dollars will generally be treated as ordinary income or loss and, for foreign tax credit limitation purposes, from sources within the United States and will not be eligible for the special tax rate applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. federal income tax rules governing the availability and computation of foreign tax credits are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors concerning the implications of these rules in light of their particular circumstances.
Subject to certain conditions and limitations, U.S. Holders may elect to claim a credit against their U.S. federal income tax liability for the net amount of French taxes withheld in accordance with the Treaty and paid over to the French tax authorities. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. In addition, special rules apply in determining the foreign tax credit limitation with respect to dividends that are subject to the preferential tax rates. To the extent a refund of the tax withheld is available to a U.S. Holder under French law or under the Treaty, the amount of tax withheld that is refundable will not be eligible for credit against such holders U.S. federal income tax liability. For this purpose, dividends distributed by TOTAL will generally constitute passive income for purposes of computing the foreign tax credit allowable to the U.S. Holder.
If a U.S. Holder has the option to receive a distribution in shares (or ADSs) instead of cash, the distribution of shares (or ADSs) will be taxable as if the holder had received an amount equal to the fair market value of the distributed shares (or ADSs), and such holders tax basis in the distributed shares (or ADSs) will be equal to such amount.
10.5.3 |
Taxation of disposition of shares |
A U.S. Holder will not be subject to French tax on any capital gain from the sale or exchange of the shares or ADSs or redemption of the underlying shares that the ADSs represent.
Pursuant to Article 235 ter ZD of the French tax code, a financial transaction tax applies, under certain conditions, to the acquisition of shares of publicly traded companies registered in France having a market capitalization over 1 billion on December 1 of the year preceding the acquisition. A list of the companies within the scope of the financial transaction tax for 2019 is published in the Administrative guidelines Bulletin Officiel des Finances Publiques, BOI-ANNX-000467-20191218. TOTAL is included in this list, although it cannot be excluded that this list might be amended in the future. The tax also applies to the acquisition of ADRs evidencing ADSs. The financial transaction tax is due at a rate of 0.3% on the price paid to acquire the shares. The person or entity liable for the tax is generally the provider of investment services defined in Article L. 321-1 of the French Monetary and Financial Code (prestataire de services dinvestissement). Investment service providers providing equivalent services outside France are subject to the tax under the same terms and conditions. Taxable transactions are broadly construed but several exceptions may apply. In general, non-income taxes, such as this financial transaction tax, paid by a U.S. Holder are not eligible for a foreign tax credit for U.S. federal income tax purposes. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences and creditability of such financial transaction tax.
For U.S. federal income tax purposes and subject to the passive foreign investment company rules discussed below, a U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale or other disposition of shares or ADSs equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized on the sale or other disposition and the holders tax basis, determined in U.S. dollars, in the shares or ADSs. The gain or loss will generally be U.S. source gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holders holding period of the shares or ADSs is more than one year at the time of the disposition. Long-term capital gain of a non-corporate U.S. Holder is generally taxed at preferential rates if specified minimum holding periods are met. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitation.
10.5.4 |
Passive foreign investment status |
TOTAL believes that the shares and ADSs are not treated as stock of a passive foreign investment company (PFIC) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and TOTAL does not expect that it will be treated as a PFIC in the current or future taxable years. This conclusion is a factual determination that is made annually and thus is subject to uncertainty and change. In general, a non-U.S. corporation will be a PFIC for any taxable year if either (i) at least 75% of its gross income for such year is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of the value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets) during such year is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. If TOTAL were treated as a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder for any taxable year, the U.S. Holder generally would suffer adverse tax consequences, that may include having gains realized on the disposition of the shares or ADSs treated as ordinary income rather than capital gain and being subject to punitive interest charges on the receipt of certain distributions and on the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of the shares or ADSs. U.S. Holders would also be subject to information reporting requirements on an annual basis. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors about the potential application of the PFIC rules to shares or ADSs.

10.5.5 |
French estate and gift taxes |
In general, a transfer of shares or ADSs by gift or by reason of the death of a U.S. Holder that would otherwise be subject to French gift or inheritance tax, respectively, will not be subject to such French tax by reason of the Convention between the United States of America and the French Republic for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Estates, Inheritances and Gifts, dated November 24, 1978, as amended, unless the donor or the transferor is domiciled in France at the time of the gift, or at the time of the transferors death, or if the shares or ADSs were used in, or held for use in, the conduct of a business through a permanent establishment or a fixed base in France.
10.5.6 |
U.S. state and local taxes |
In addition to U.S. federal income tax, U.S. Holders of shares or ADSs may be subject to U.S. state and local taxes with respect to their shares or ADSs. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK
Please refer to Notes 15.3 (Financial risks management) (starting on page 364) and 16.2 (Oil and Gas market related risks management) (on page 374) to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Universal Registration Document 2019, which are incorporated herein by reference, for a qualitative and quantitative discussion of the Groups exposure to market risks. Please also refer to Notes 15.2 (Fair value of financial instruments (excluding commodity contracts)) (starting on page 358) and 16 (Financial instruments related to commodity contracts) (starting on page 370) to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Universal Registration Document 2019, which are incorporated herein by reference, for details of the different derivatives owned by the Group in these markets.
As part of its financing and cash management activities, the Group uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. These instruments are mainly interest rate and currency swaps. The Group may also occasionally use futures contracts and options. These operations and their accounting treatment are detailed in Notes 15.2 (starting on page 358) and 16 (starting on page 370) to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Universal Registration Document 2019, which are incorporated herein by reference.
The financial performance of TOTAL is sensitive to a number of factors; the most significant being oil and gas prices, generally expressed in dollars, and exchange rates, in particular that of the dollar versus the euro. Generally, a rise in the price of crude oil has a positive effect on earnings as a result of an increase in revenues from oil and gas production. Conversely, a decline in crude oil prices reduces revenues. The impact of changes in crude oil prices on the activities of the Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services segments depends upon the speed at which the prices of finished products adjust to reflect these changes. All of the Groups activities are, to various degrees, sensitive to fluctuations in the dollar/euro exchange rate.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
15.1 |
Disclosure controls and procedures |
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Groups management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness, as of the end of the period covered by this report, of the design and operation of the Groups disclosure controls and procedures, which are defined as those controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, summarized and reported within specified time periods. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to management, including themselves, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
15.2 |
Managements annual report on internal control over financial reporting |
The Groups management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements and even when determined to be effective, can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, the effectiveness of an internal control system may change over time.
The Groups management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the results of this evaluation, the Groups management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2019.
The effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, was audited by ERNST & YOUNG Audit and KPMG Audit, a division of KPMG S.A., independent registered public accounting firms, as stated in their report included in Item 18 of this annual report.
15.3 |
Changes in internal control over financial reporting |
There were no changes in the Groups internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or that were reasonably likely to materially affect, the Groups internal control over financial reporting.
15.4 |

ITEM 16G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
This section presents a summary of significant differences between French corporate governance practices and the NYSEs corporate governance standards, as required by section 303A.11 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.
16G.1 |
Overview |
The following paragraphs provide a brief, general summary of significant ways in which our corporate governance practices differ from those required by the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) for U.S. companies that have common stock listed on the NYSE. While our management believes that our corporate governance practices are similar in many respects to those of U.S. domestic NYSE listed companies and provide investors with protections that are comparable in many respects to those established by the NYSE Listed Company Manual, certain significant differences are described below.
The principal sources of corporate governance standards in France are the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce), the French Financial and Monetary Code (Code monétaire et financier) and the regulations and recommendations provided by the French Financial Markets Authority (Autorité des marchés financiers, AMF), as well as a number of general recommendations and guidelines on corporate governance, most notably the Corporate Governance Code of Listed Corporations (the AFEP-MEDEF Code) published by the two main French business confederations, the Association Française des Entreprises Privées (AFEP) and the Mouvement des Entreprises de France (MEDEF), the latest version of which was published in June 2018.
The AFEP-MEDEF Code includes, among other things, recommendations relating to the role and operation of the board of directors (creation, composition and evaluation of the board of directors and the audit, compensation and nominations committees) and the independence criteria for board members. Articles L. 820-1 et seq. of the French Commercial Code authorizes statutory auditors to provide certain non-audit services if in compliance with provisions of the French Commercial Code, the European legislation and the Code of ethics of the auditors. It also defines certain criteria for the independence of statutory auditors. In France, the independence of statutory auditors is also monitored by an independent body, the High Council for statutory auditors (Haut Conseil du Commissariat aux Comptes).
For an overview of certain of our corporate governance policies, refer to points 4.1 (Administration and management bodies) and 4.2 (Statement regarding corporate governance) of chapter 4 of the Universal Registration Document 2019 (starting on page 130), which are incorporated herein by reference.
16G.2 |
Composition of Board of Directors; Independence |
The NYSE listing standards provide that the board of directors of a U.S.-listed company must include a majority of independent directors and that the audit committee, the nominating/corporate governance committee and the compensation committee must be composed entirely of independent directors. A director qualifies as independent only if the board affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the company, either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company. Furthermore, as discussed below, the listing standards require additional procedures in regards to the independence of directors who sit on the audit committee and the compensation committee. In addition, the listing standards enumerate a number of relationships that preclude independence.
French law does not contain any independence requirement for the members of the board of directors of a French company, except for the audit committee, as described below. The AFEP-MEDEF Code recommends, however, that (i) the independent directors should account for half of the members of the board of directors of widely-held corporations without controlling shareholders, and (ii) independent directors should account for at least one-third of board members in controlled companies. Members of the board representing employees and employee shareholders are not taken into account in calculating these percentages. The AFEP-MEDEF Code states that a director is independent when he or she has no relationship of any kind whatsoever with the corporation, its group or the management that may interfere with his or her freedom of judgment. Accordingly, an independent director is understood to be any non-executive director of the corporation or the group who has no particular bonds of interest (significant shareholder, employee, other) with them. The AFEP-MEDEF Code also enumerates specific criteria for determining independence, which are on the whole consistent with the goals of the NYSE listing standards, although the specific tests under the two standards may vary on some points.
As noted in the AFEP-MEDEF Code, qualification as an independent director should be discussed by the appointments committee [ ] and decided on by the board on the occasion of the appointment of a director, and annually for all directors.
For an overview of the Companys Board of Directors assessment of the independence of the Companys Directors, including a description of the Boards independence criteria, refer to point 4.1.1.4 (Directors independence) of chapter 4 of the Universal Registration Document 2019 (starting on page 142), which is incorporated herein by reference.

16G.3 |
Representation of women on corporate boards |
The French Commercial Code provides for legally binding quotas to balance gender representation on boards of directors of French listed companies, requiring that each gender represent at least 40%. Directors representing the employees are not taken into account in calculating this percentage. When the board of directors consists of a maximum of eight members, the difference between the number of directors of each gender should not be higher than two. Any appointment of a director made in violation of these rules will be declared null and void and payment of the directors compensation will be suspended until the board composition is compliant with the required quota (the suspension of the directors compensation will also be disclosed in the management report). However, if a director whose appointment is null and void takes part in decisions of the board of directors, such decisions are not declared automatically null and void by virtue thereof. As of March 18, 2020, the Companys Board of Directors consisted of five male members and seven female members. Excluding the director representing employees and the director representing employee shareholders in accordance with French law, the proportion of women on the Board was 50%, the director representing employees and the director representing employee shareholders being female.
16G.4 |
Board committees |
16G.4.1 |
Overview |
The NYSE listing standards require that a U.S.-listed company have an audit committee, a nominating/corporate governance committee and a compensation committee. Each of these committees must consist solely of independent directors and must have a written charter that addresses certain matters specified in the listing standards. Furthermore, the listing standards require that, in addition to the independence criteria referenced above under Composition of Board of Directors; Independence, certain enumerated factors be taken into consideration when making a determination on the independence of directors on the compensation committee or when engaging advisors to the compensation committee.
With the exception of an audit committee, as described below, French law currently requires neither the establishment of board committees nor the adoption of written charters.
The AFEP-MEDEF Code recommends, however, that the board of directors sets up, in addition to the audit committee required by French law, a nominations committee and a compensation committee. The AFEP-MEDEF Code also recommends that at least two-thirds of the audit committee members and a majority of the members of each of the compensation committee and the nominations committee be independent directors. It is recommended that the chairman of the compensation committee be independent and that one of its members be an employee director. None of those three committees should include any Executive Officer (25).
TOTAL has established an Audit Committee, a Governance and Ethics Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Strategy & CSR Committee. As of March 18, 2020, the composition of these Committees was as follows:
- |
the Audit Committee had four members, 100% of whom have been deemed independent by the Board of Directors; |
- |
the Governance and Ethics Committee had four members, 100% of whom have been deemed independent by the Board of Directors; |
- |
the Compensation Committee had four members, 100% of whom have been deemed independent by the Board of Directors (according to point 9.3 of the AFEP-MEDEF Code, directors representing the employee shareholders and directors representing employees are not taken into account when determining this percentage); and |
- |
the Strategy & CSR Committee had six members. With the exception of Mr. Pouyanné, who chairs the committee, all members of this Committee have been deemed independent by the Board of Directors (according to point 9.3 of the AFEP-MEDEF Code, directors representing the employee shareholders and directors representing employees are not taken into account when determining this percentage). |
For a description of the independence assessment of each member of the Board of Directors, see point 4.1.1.4 (Directors independence) of chapter 4 of the Universal Registration Document 2019 (starting on page 142), which is incorporated herein by reference. For a description of the scope of each Committees activity, see point 4.1.2.3 (Committees of the Board of Directors) of chapter 4 of the Universal Registration Document 2019 (starting on page 153), which is incorporated herein by reference.
The NYSE listing standards also require that the audit, nominating/corporate governance and compensation committees of a U.S.-listed company be vested with decision-making powers on certain matters. Under French law, however, those committees are advisory in nature and have no decision-making authority. Board committees are responsible for examining matters within the scope of their charter and making recommendations thereon to the board of directors. Under French law, the board of directors has the final decision-making authority.
16G.4.2 |
Audit Committee |
The NYSE listing standards contain detailed requirements for the audit committees of U.S.-listed companies. Some, but not all, of these requirements also apply to non U.S.-listed companies, such as TOTAL. French law and the AFEP-MEDEF Code share the NYSE listing standards goal of establishing a system for overseeing the companys accounting process that is independent from management and that ensures auditor independence. As a result, they address similar topics, with some overlap.
(25) As defined by the AFEP-MEDEF Code, Executive Officers include the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the Deputy chief executive officer(s) of public limited companies with a Board of Directors, the Chairman and members of the Management Board in public limited companies having a Management Board and Supervisory Board and the statutory managers of partnerships limited by shares.
28 |
TOTAL Form 20-F 2019 |
Article L. 823-19 of the French Commercial Code requires the board of directors of companies listed in France to establish an audit committee, at least one member of which must be an independent director and must be competent in finance, accounting or statutory audit procedures. The AFEP-MEDEF Code provides that at least two-thirds of the directors on the audit committee be independent and that the audit committee should not include any Executive Officer. Under NYSE rules, in the absence of an applicable exemption, audit committees are required to satisfy the independence requirements under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. TOTALs Audit Committee consists of four directors, all of whom meet the independence requirements under Rule 10A-3.
The duties of the Companys Audit Committee, in line with French law and the AFEP-MEDEF Code, are described in point 4.1.2.3 of chapter 4 of the Universal Registration Document 2019 (starting on page 153), which is incorporated herein by reference. The Audit Committee regularly reports to the Board of Directors on the fulfillment of its tasks, the results of the financial statements certification process and the contribution of such process to guaranteeing the financial informations integrity.
One structural difference between the legal status of the audit committee of a U.S.-listed company and that of a French-listed company concerns the degree of the committees involvement in managing the relationship between the company and the auditors. French law requires French companies that publish consolidated financial statements, such as TOTAL S.A., to have two co-statutory auditors, while the NYSE listing standards require that the audit committee of a U.S.-listed have direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of the auditor. French law provides that the election of the co-statutory auditors is the sole responsibility of the shareholders duly convened at a shareholders meeting. In making their decision, the shareholders may rely on proposals submitted to them by the board of directors based on recommendations from the audit committee. The shareholders elect the statutory auditors for an audit period of six financial years. The statutory auditors may only be revoked by a court order and only on grounds of professional negligence or incapacity to perform their mission.
16G.5 |
Meetings of non-management directors |
The NYSE listing standards require that the non-management directors of a U.S.-listed company meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management. French law does not contain such a requirement. The AFEP-MEDEF Code recommends, however, that a meeting not attended by the Executive Officers be organized at least once a year.
Since December 16, 2015, the rules of procedure of the board of directors provide that, with the agreement of the Governance and Ethics Committee, the Lead Independent Director may hold meetings of the directors who do not hold executive or salaried positions on the Board of Directors. He or she reports to the Board of Directors on the conclusions of such meetings.
In December 2019, the Lead Independent Director held a meeting of the independent directors. She subsequently presented a summary of this meeting to the Board of Directors.
Thus, the Board of Directors practice is in line with the recommendation made in the AFEP-MEDEF Code.
16G.6 |
Shareholder approval of compensation |
Pursuant to the provisions of the French Commercial Code, as amended, the compensation of the chairman of the board of directors, the members of the board of directors, the chief executive officer and, as the case may be, the deputy chief executive officer(s) in French listed companies shall each year be submitted to the approval of their shareholders. Articles L. 225-37-2 and L. 225-100 of the French Commercial Code provide, respectively, for an ex ante vote and an ex post vote:
- |
ex ante vote: the shareholders shall each year approve the compensation policy of the above-mentioned directors and officers for the current fiscal year. Such policy shall describe all components of fixed and variable compensation and shall explain the decision process followed for its determination, review and implementation. In the event a resolution is rejected by the shareholders, the preceding already-approved compensation policy for the concerned director(s) and officer(s) will be applicable; in the absence of a preceding already-approved compensation policy, the compensation is determined in line with compensation granted the preceding year if any, or in line with existing practices in the company; and |
- |
ex post vote: the shareholders shall each year approve the fixed, variable and exceptional components of the aggregate compensation and benefit of any kinds due or attributable to each of the above-mentioned directors and officers for the preceding fiscal year. In the event a resolution is rejected by the shareholders, the compensation will not be paid to the directors and officers. |
16G.7 |
Disclosure |
The NYSE listing standards require U.S.-listed companies to adopt, and post on their websites, a set of corporate governance guidelines. The guidelines must address, among other things: director qualification standards, director responsibilities, director access to management and independent advisers, director compensation, director orientation and continuing education, management succession and an annual performance evaluation of the board. In addition, the chief executive officer of a U.S.-listed company must certify to the NYSE annually that he or she is not aware of any violations by the company of the NYSEs corporate governance listing standards.
French law requires neither the adoption of such guidelines nor the provision of such certification. The AFEP-MEDEF Code recommends, however, that the board of directors of a French-listed company review its operation annually and perform a formal evaluation at least once every three years, under the leadership of the appointments or nominations committee or an independent director, assisted by an external consultant. TOTALs Board of Directors most recent formal evaluation took place in early 2020. The AFEP-MEDEF Code also recommends that shareholders be informed of these evaluations each year in the annual report. In addition, Article L. 225-37 of the French Commercial Code requires the board of directors to present to the
Form 20-F 2019 TOTAL |
29 |
shareholders a corporate governance report appended to the management report, notably describing the composition of the board and the balanced representation of men and women on the board, the preparation and organization of the Boards work, the offices and positions of each TOTAL Executive Officer and the compensation attributable and received by each such officer as well as the compensation attributable and received by the members of the board of directors. The AFEP-MEDEF Code also includes ethical rules concerning which directors are expected to comply.
16G.8 |
Code of business conduct and ethics |
The NYSE listing standards require each U.S.-listed company to adopt, and post on its website, a code of business conduct and ethics for its directors, officers and employees. Under Article 17 of Law n° 2016/1691 of December 9, 2016, top management (such as the chairman of the board or chief executive officer) of large French companies is required to adopt a code of conduct proscribing the different types of behavior being likely to characterize acts of corruption, bribery or influence peddling. This code must be included in the rules of procedure of the company and be submitted to employee representatives. Under the SECs rules and regulations, all companies required to submit periodic reports to the SEC, including TOTAL, must disclose in their annual reports whether they have adopted a code of ethics for their principal executive officers and senior financial officers. In addition, they must file a copy of the code with the SEC, post the text of the code on their website or undertake to provide a copy upon request to any person without charge. There is significant, though not complete, overlap between the code of ethics required by the NYSE listing standards and the code of ethics for senior financial officers required by the SECs rules. For a description of the code of ethics adopted by TOTAL, refer to point 3.3.2 of chapter 3 of the Universal Registration Document 2019 (starting on page 94), which is incorporated herein by reference, and Item 16B. Code of ethics.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUTING FIRMS ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders,
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TOTAL S.A. and subsidiaries (the Group) as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Groups internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated March 18, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Groups internal control over financial reporting.
Change in Accounting Principles
As discussed in the Note to the financial statements Basis of preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the Group has changed its method of accounting for leases on January 1, 2019, due to the adoption of IFRS 16 Leases.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Groups management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are public accounting firms registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Group in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The Critical Audit Matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the Audit Committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of Critical Audit Matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the Critical Audit Matters below, providing separate opinions on the Critical Audit Matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Evaluation of the impairment of non-current assets of exploration and production activities (property, plant and equipment and proved and unproved mineral interests) of the Exploration & Production and Integrated Gas, Renewables and Power segments (E&P and iGRP segments)
Description of the Matter
As discussed in Notes 7.1, 7.2, and 3 to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019, the non-current assets of exploration and production activities of the E&P and iGRP segments are mainly comprised of proved properties and work in progress of exploration and production activities (91,424 million US dollars), proved mineral interests (7,225 million US dollars), unproved mineral interests (15,580 million US dollars), and a portion of the 22,902 million US dollars balance of investments and loans in equity affiliates.
The Group performs impairment tests on these assets as soon as any indication of impairment exists. The testing method is described in Note 3.D to the consolidated financial statements. The Group assesses the recoverable amount of the E&P and iGRP segments non-current assets of exploration and production activities based on the cash-generating units that includes all the hydrocarbon sites and industrial assets involved in the production, processing and extraction of hydrocarbons. The recoverable amount is measured for each cash-generating unit, taking into account the economic business environment and the Groups operating plans. The primary assumptions used by the Group to measure the recoverable amount include the future price of hydrocarbons, the operational costs, the estimates of oil and gas reserves, and the after-tax discount rate.
We identified the evaluation of the impairment of the E&P and iGRP segments non-current assets of exploration and production activities as a critical audit matter because evaluating the Groups assumptions discussed above involved a high degree of subjective auditor judgment. Specifically, such evaluation required the consideration of evidence that corroborates the Groups assumptions and evidence that might contradict the assumptions, such as publicly available industry information.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included the following. We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of certain controls over the Groups processes to address the risks of material misstatement relating to the evaluation of the impairment of the E&P and iGRP segments non-current assets of exploration and production activities. This included testing certain controls over the Groups determination of the primary assumptions underlying the recoverable amount, such as the future price of hydrocarbons, the estimates of hydrocarbon reserves, the operational costs, and the after-tax discount rate.
We considered whether there was an indication of impairment for these assets, such as an expected severe decline of production, a new tax law enacted, or an expected impact of new price assumptions. We compared the primary assumptions to those included in analyses, budgets and forecasts of the Group and approved by the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors. We also compared the hydrocarbon pricing scenarios used by the Group to publicly available industry information (International Energy Agency). We agreed oil production profiles to the proved and probable reserves established as part of the Groups internal procedures. We evaluated the reasonableness of the future operational costs by calculating ratios over production and comparing them over time or to those of other similar assets. With the assistance of valuation specialists, we performed an independent re-calculation of the after-tax discount rate used, which we compared with the rates calculated by major financial analysts. In addition, we assessed the consistency of the tax rates used with the applicable tax schemes and the oil agreements in force.
Effect of estimated proved and proved developed hydrocarbon reserves on the depreciation of oil and gas assets of production activities of the of the Exploration & Production and Integrated Gas, Renewables and Power segments (E&P and iGRP segments)
Description of the Matter
As discussed in the Note Major judgments and accounting estimates to the consolidated financial statements, the proved reserves and proved developed reserves are used by the Group in the successful efforts method to account for its oil and gas activities. Notes 7.1 and 7.2 to the consolidated financial statements outline that under such method, oil and gas assets are depreciated using the unit-of-production method. The unit-of-production method is based on proved and proved developed reserves. Those reserves are estimated by the Groups petroleum engineers in accordance with industry practice and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations.
The primary assumptions used by the Group to estimate the proved and proved developed reserves include the following: geoscience and engineering data used to determine deposit quantities; contractual arrangements that determine the Groups share of the reserves; and the 12-month average price based on the SEC regulations.
We identified the effect of estimated proved and proved developed hydrocarbon reserves on the depreciation of oil and gas assets of production activities of the E&P and iGRP segments as a critical audit matter because evaluating the Groups aforementioned assumptions involved a high degree of complex auditor judgment due to the inherent uncertainty and nature of such assumptions.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included the following. We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of certain controls over the Groups processes to address the risks of material misstatement in the depreciation of oil and gas assets of production activities of the E&P and iGRP segments relating to the effect of estimated proved and proved developed hydrocarbon reserves. This included testing certain controls over managements determination and review of deposit quantities and the modeling of contractual arrangements that determine the Groups share of proved and proved developed hydrocarbon reserves.

We assessed the qualifications and objectivity of the Groups petroleum engineers responsible for estimating reserves and analyzed the main changes in proved and proved developed reserves compared to the last fiscal year. We compared the 2019 forecasted production to 2019 actual production. We inspected evidence from contractual arrangements that determine the Groups share of the proved and proved developed hydrocarbon reserves through the expiration of the contracts. We evaluated the Groups assessment, where appropriate, of the reasons leading the Group to believe that the renewal of contractual arrangements is reasonably certain. In addition, we assessed the compliance of the Groups methodology to estimate proved and proved developed hydrocarbon reserves of the E&P and iGRP segments with the SEC regulations, particularly with regard to the average annual reference prices used to measure the value of proved and proved developed reserves.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMS ON THE INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors,
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited TOTAL S.A. and subsidiaries (the Group) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Group maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Group as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2019 and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated March 18, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Groups management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Groups internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are public accounting firms registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Group in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
34 |
TOTAL Form 20-F 2019 |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

ARTICLE 9 IDENTIFICATION OF SHAREHOLDERS
DECLARATION OF CROSSING OWNERSHIP THRESHOLDS
The Company is authorized, to the extent permitted under applicable law, to identify the holders of securities that grant immediate or future voting rights at the Companys Shareholders Meetings.
In addition to obligations that shareholders may have under applicable law to notify the Company upon crossing certain percentages of share ownership or voting rights, any person, whether a natural person or a legal entity, who comes to hold, directly or indirectly, 1% or more, or any multiple of 1%, of the share capital or the voting rights or of securities that may include future voting rights or future access to share capital or voting rights, is required to inform the Company by registered mail with return receipt requested, indicating the number of securities or voting rights held, within a period of 15 days from the date of crossing each of the said thresholds.
In determining the ownership or voting rights percentages provided for in the previous paragraph, shares or voting rights held by controlled companies, as defined in Article L.233-3 of the French Commercial Code, must be included if applicable.
In the event of a failure to declare ownership of shares or voting rights as described above, any shares or voting rights exceeding the fraction that should have been declared may be deprived of voting rights at a Shareholders Meeting if, at the meeting, the failure to declare ownership of such shares or voting rights has been noted and if one or several shareholders holding, collectively, at least 3% of the Companys capital or voting rights so request at such meeting.
Any natural person or legal entity is also required to inform the Company in the manner and within the time periods set forth above in the fourth paragraph of this Article 9 when his direct or indirect holdings fall below each of the applicable thresholds in said paragraph.
ARTICLE 10 RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS ATTRIBUTABLE TO SHARES
In addition to a voting right, each share entitles the holder to an ownership interest in the business assets, in the sharing of profits and of liquidation surpluses, in proportion to the number of shares outstanding from time to time.
Whenever it is necessary to possess several shares in order to exercise a right, shares held in a number below the requisite number of shares do not entitle their holder to any right against the Company, it being up to the shareholder in such a case to personally seek to collect or group together the requisite number of shares.

ARTICLE 11 COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
1. |
The Company is administered by a Board of Directors, the minimum and maximum number of members of which are defined by applicable law in effect from time to time. |
2. |

3. |
Each Director must own at least 1,000 shares during his term of office. |
4. |
The term of office for Directors is set by the shareholders acting in an Ordinary Shareholders Meeting for a term of office not to exceed three years, subject to applicable law that may allow extension of the duration of a given term until the next Ordinary Shareholders Meeting held to approve the financial statements. |
5. |
The number of Directors acting in their own capacity or as permanent representatives of a legal entity more than 70 years old may not exceed one-third of the sitting Directors as determined on the last day of each fiscal year. If this proportion is exceeded, the oldest Board member is automatically considered to have resigned. |
6. |
When at the close of a financial year, the portion of capital owned within the framework provided by the provisions of Article L.225-102 of the French Commercial Code by the Companys personnel and that of the companies affiliated to it as per Article L.225-180 of said code, represents over 3%, a Director representing employee shareholders shall be elected at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in accordance with the procedures laid down in regulations in force, and these Articles of Incorporation, insofar as the Board of Directors does not include among its members one or more Directors appointed among the members of the Supervisory Board of the company mutual funds representing employees or one or more employees elected according to Article L.225-27 of the said Code. |
7. |
Candidates for appointment to the office of employee shareholder Director are selected on the following basis: |
a) |
When voting rights linked to shares held by employees or by investment trusts of which they are beneficiaries are exercised by members of the Board of Trustees of such investment trusts, candidates are selected by such Board among its members. |
b) |
When voting rights linked to shares held by employees (or by investment trusts of which they are beneficiaries) are exercised directly by such employees, candidates shall be appointed further to a vote as per Article L.225-106 of the French Commercial Code, either by employee shareholders in a meeting convened specifically for such purpose, or by a vote in writing. Only candidates put forward by a group of shareholders representing at least 5% of the shares held by employees exercising their individual voting rights shall be admissible. |
8. |
Procedures for appointing candidates when such provisions are not laid down in law and regulations in force, or by these Articles of Incorporation, shall be determined by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, in particular with respect to the timing of the appointment of such candidates. |
9. |
A list of all validly appointed candidates shall be prepared. This list shall comprise at least two names. The list of candidates shall be appended to the notice convening the Shareholders Meeting called to appoint the Director representing employee shareholders. |
10. |
The Director representing employee shareholders shall be elected at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on the same terms as those applicable to all appointments of Directors, upon proposal from the shareholders as provided for by Article L.225-102 of the French Commercial Code. The Board of Directors shall table the list of candidates at the Shareholders Meeting by order of preference, and may give its approval to the first candidate appearing on such list. The candidate referred to above who shall have received the greatest number of votes from shareholders present or represented at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders shall be appointed as the Director representing employee shareholders. |
- 5 -
11. |
Such Director shall be disregarded for the purposes of determining the maximum number of Directors stipulated under Article L.225-17 of the French Commercial Code. |
12. |
The term in office of any Director representing employee shareholders shall be three years. However, his term in office shall end forthwith, and the Director representing employee shareholders shall be considered to have resigned automatically upon his ceasing to be an employee of the Company (or of a company or economic interest group affiliated to it as per Article L.225-180 of the French Commercial Code) or a shareholder (or a member of an investment fund, at least 90% of whose assets comprise the Companys shares). Until the date of appointment or replacement of any Director representing employee shareholders, the Board of Directors may hold meetings and vote validly. |
13. |
In the event the seat of the Director representing employee shareholders shall become vacant, for any reason whatsoever, such Director shall be replaced in the manner specified above, such Director to be appointed at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders for a new three-year term. |
14. |
The provisions governing the sixth paragraph of this Article 11 shall cease to apply when, at the close of any given financial year, the percentage of equity held by the Companys employees and those of the companies affiliated to it as per aforementioned Article L.225-180, within the framework stipulated by the provisions of aforementioned Article L.225-102, is equal to less than 3% of all issued share capital of the Company; notwithstanding the foregoing, the term of any Director appointed pursuant to the sixth paragraph of this Article 11 shall only expire at its term. |
15. |
The provisions governing the third paragraph of this Article 11 shall not apply to the Director representing employee shareholders. Nonetheless, this Director representing employee shareholders shall hold, either individually, or through an investment trust governed by Article L.214-165 of the French Monetary & Financial Code, at least one share or a number of stocks in such investment trust amounting to at least one share. |
16. |
When the Company satisfies the provisions of Article L. 225-27-1 of the French Commercial Code, the Board of Directors shall also include one or two Directors representing employees. |
17. |
The Companys Central Works Council shall appoint one Director representing employees. When the number of Directors appointed by the Shareholders Meeting exceeds twelve, the Companys European Works Council (European Council) shall appoint a second Director representing employees. The procedures for voting in the Central Works Council and the European Council to appoint Directors are the same rules used to appoint the Secretaries of these Councils. |
18. |
Pursuant to Article L. 225-28 of the French Commercial Code, the Director appointed by the Central Works Council must hold an employment contract with the Company or one of its direct or indirect subsidiaries whose registered head office was located on French territory at least two years before his or her appointment.

19. |

20. |
Neither the Director representing employee shareholders elected by the Shareholders Meeting pursuant to Article L. 225-23 of the French Commercial Code and these charter and bylaws, nor the Director or Directors representing employees are taken into account to define the twelve-member threshold mentioned above, since this twelve-member threshold is determined when the employee Director or Directors are appointed. |
21. |
The term of office of a Director representing employees is three years. Nevertheless, his or her term of office ends at the close of the Ordinary General Meeting that approves the financial statements for the previous fiscal year during which the said Directors term of office expired. |

26. |

ARTICLE 12 ORGANIZATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board appoints a Chairman (Président du Conseil dAdministration) from among its members who must be a natural person.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors represents the Board of Directors. He organizes and directs the Boards work, and reports thereon to the shareholders at Shareholders Meetings. He ensures the proper functioning of the Companys bodies and ensures, in particular, that the Directors are able to carry out their duties.
The Board may also appoint one or two Vice Chairmen (Vice Président du Conseil dAdministration). The rights and duties of the Chairman and of the Vice Chairman or Chairmen may be withdrawn from them at any time by the Board. The Chairmans rights and duties cease automatically no later than on the date of his or her 70th birthday.
The Board also designates a natural person to act as secretary, who is not required to be a Board member.
The Board may establish one or more committees responsible for considering questions submitted by the Board or by its Chairman for their consideration and opinion. The Board determines the composition and the powers of the committees, which carry on their activity under the supervision of the Board.
The Directors receive attendance fees, the amount of which, determined by the shareholders acting at a Shareholders Meeting, remains in effect until a new decision is taken.
The Board apportions attendance fees among its members in whatever way it considers appropriate. In particular, it may allocate a larger share to Directors who are members of the above-mentioned committees than the amount apportioned to other Directors.
ARTICLE 13 BOARD OF DIRECTORS DECISIONS
The Board of Directors meets as often as required to serve the Companys interests. A Board meeting may be called by any means, even orally, and even on short notice depending on the urgency, at the initiative of either the Chairman or a Vice Chairman, or by one-third of its members. Such meeting may be called to be held either at the registered office, or at any other place indicated in the notice.
The presence in person, or when the law so authorizes, via videoconference or telecommunication means determined by decree, of at least one-half of the Board members, is required for valid deliberations.
Decisions are made by a majority of the votes of the members present or represented. In the case of a tie vote, the Chairman of the meeting holds a casting vote.
ARTICLE 14 BOARD OF DIRECTORS POWERS
The Board of Directors determines the guidelines governing the Companys activity and oversees their application. Subject to the powers explicitly attributed to shareholders and within the limits of the
- 7 -
business purpose, the Board considers any question affecting the proper operation of the Company, and its decisions settle the matters concerning it.
The Board of Directors performs such auditing and verification as it considers appropriate. Each Director is entitled to receive all information required for the performance of his duties and may obtain any documents he considers useful. His requests must be addressed to the Chairman of the Board of Directors.
ARTICLE 15 GENERAL MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY
1) |
General management of the Company is performed under the responsibility of either the Chairman of the Board of Directors (Président du Conseil dAdministration), or by another natural person appointed by the Board of Directors and bearing the title of President (Directeur Général). |
The Board of Directors selects one of the aforementioned methods of exercising general management under the quorum and majority provisions set forth in Article 13 of the present charter and bylaws. The Company shall inform its shareholders and third parties of its determination in accordance with applicable regulations.
Once the Board makes such a determination, it remains in effect until a contrary decision is made pursuant to the same procedure.
Any change in the method of exercise of general management will not in and of itself effect any change in the present charter and bylaws.
The Board is required to meet to consider a possible change of methods for exercising general management either at the request of the Chairman or of the President, or at the request of one-third of the Board members.
2) |
When general management of the Company is assumed by the Chairman, the legal, regulatory or statutory provisions relative to the President are applicable to him, and he takes the title of Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer (Président Directeur Général). |
When the Board of Directors determines to separate the functions of Chairman of the Board of Directors (Président du Conseil dAdministration) and President of the Company (Directeur Général), the Board appoints a President, sets the term for his appointment, and the degree of his powers. Decisions by the Board of Directors limiting the degree of the powers of the President of the Company are not enforceable against third parties.
The President of the Company must be less than 67 years old during the exercise of his or her duties. Upon reaching this age limit during the exercise of his or her duties, his or her appointment terminates automatically (subject to the following sentence), and the Board of Directors appoints a new President of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the President of the Company remains in office and continues exercising his or her duties beyond the termination date until the date on which the Board appoints his or her successor. Subject to the age limit described above, a President remains eligible for reappointment.
The President of the Company may be terminated at any time by the Board of Directors.
In the event that the President of the Company is temporarily unable to exercise his duties, the Board of Directors may delegate his functions to a Director.
3) |
The President is invested with the most extensive powers to act in the Companys name under all circumstances. He exercises the said powers within the limits of the business purpose and subject to the ones explicitly assigned by law to the shareholders and to the Board of Directors. He represents the Company in its relationship with third parties. |
The President of the Company may request the Chairman of the Board to call a meeting of the Board of Directors regarding a specified agenda.
If the President of the Company is not also a member of the Board of Directors, he may attend meetings of the Board of Directors to provide advice, but without a vote.
- 8 -
4) |
On the basis of a proposal by its President, the Board may appoint one to five natural persons at most responsible for assisting the President and bearing the title of Executive Vice President (Directeur Général Délégué). The Board determines the extent of their powers and their term of office, it being understood that Executive Vice Presidents hold the same powers as the President in representing the Company in its relationships with third parties. |
The Executive Vice President or Executive Vice Presidents may be terminated at any time by the Board of Directors, upon motion by the President of the Company.
In the event that the President is temporarily unable to perform his duties or ceases his duties, the Executive Vice President or the Executive Vice Presidents retain their duties and powers until the nomination of a new President, unless the Board of Directors decides otherwise.
5) |
The President of the Company and, if applicable, one or more Executive Vice Presidents, may be authorized to grant substitutions or delegations of their authority within the limit of applicable law or regulations. |
Fixed or variable remuneration, or fixed and variable remuneration, may be granted by the Board of Directors to the Chairman of the Board, the President of the Company, and to any Executive Vice President, and, more generally, to any other natural persons to whom duties are delegated. Such compensation shall be charged to business expense.
ARTICLE 16 AUDITORS
The shareholders acting in a Shareholders Meeting designate the statutory and deputy auditors in accordance with applicable law.

Shareholders Meetings |
ARTICLE 17 NOTICE PARTICIPATION IN SHAREHOLDERS MEETINGS
1) |
Shareholders Meetings may be called in accordance with applicable law. |
The meetings take place at the registered office or at any other place indicated in the notice of meeting.
All shareholders may attend Shareholders Meetings, irrespective of the number of shares held.
Any shareholder may vote by mail, by using a form conforming to applicable regulations.
Any shareholder may delegate voting authority at Shareholders Meetings in accordance with the terms and conditions provided for by applicable regulations.
Legal entities that are shareholders take part in the meetings through their legal representatives or through any agent designated for that purpose.
2) |
Participation in general meetings, in any form whatsoever, shall be subject to registering or recording shares under the conditions and within the time periods provided for by regulations in effect. |
The Board of Directors shall have the option to accept ballots and powers of attorney that should reach the company after the deadline provided for by regulations in effect.
It also has the option to decide that shareholders may participate and vote in any meeting by videoconference or other means of telecommunication under the conditions established by regulations in effect; the electronic signature that may result from any reliable identification process shall guarantee its connection with the instrument related thereto.
ARTICLE 18 HOLDING SHAREHOLDERS MEETINGS DECISIONS
The Shareholders Meeting is chaired by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, and failing this, by a Vice Chairman, and in his absence by a Director designated by the Board.
The Shareholders Meetings, whether ordinary, extraordinary or combined, make their decisions pursuant to the quorum and majority conditions applicable to the provisions governing the type of meeting, and they may exercise the powers attributed to them by law.
There is secret voting when such voting is demanded by several shareholders representing at least one quarter of the share capital.
Subject to the following provisions, each meeting member is entitled to as many votes as he possesses or as many shares as he holds proxies for.
However, a double voting right is granted, in the light of the share of the share capital they represent, to all registered shares paid up in full that have been entered in the name of the same shareholder for at least two years, as well as, in case of a capital increase by incorporation of reserves, profits or premiums on shares, to the registered shares that are allocated without charge to a shareholder in connection with previously existing shares for which he benefits from the said right. Any merger of the company would have no effect on the double voting right, which may be exercised within the absorbing company, if the latters articles of association have created a similar right.
The double voting right shall terminate automatically in respect of shares that are converted to bearer form or are transferred. Nevertheless any transfer from registered share to registered share, due to inheritance ab intestat or testamentary inheritance, division of community property between spouses, or donation inter vivos to the benefit of the spouse or of relatives eligible to inherit shall not interrupt the period set above or shall retain the acquired right.
- 10 -
At Shareholders Meetings, no shareholder may cast, by himself and through a proxy, in connection with the simple voting rights attached to the shares he holds directly or indirectly and in connection with the powers of attorney granted to him, more than 10% of the total number of voting rights attributable to the company shares. However, if he also holds, on an individual basis and/or as agent, double voting rights, the limit set in this way may be exceeded taking account solely of the additional voting rights resulting therefrom, without all of the voting rights that he exercises being able to exceed 20% of the total number of voting rights attributable to the company shares.
For the application of the above provisions:
- |
the total number of voting rights attributable to the company shares taken into account is calculated on the date of the Shareholders Meeting and is brought to the shareholders attention at the opening of said meeting, |
- |
the number of voting rights held directly and indirectly is to be understood as including the ones that are attributable to the shares held by a natural person in his own behalf, either on a personal basis or in connection with joint ownership, or are held by a company, grouping, association or foundation, and as including the ones that are attached to the shares held by a controlled company in the meaning of Article L.233-3 of the French Commercial Code, by another company or by a natural person, association, grouping or foundation, |
- |
for the voting rights cast by the Chairman of the Shareholders Meeting, one disregards, in connection with the limitations set forth above, the voting rights that are attached to shares for which a power of attorney has been returned to the company without any indication of an agent and which, individually, do not violate the prescribed limitations. |
The limitations provided for in the above sections have no effect on the calculation of the total number of voting rights, including the double voting rights, attributed to the Company shares and which shall be taken into account for application of the legislative, regulatory or statutory provisions laying down special obligations with reference to the number of voting rights existing in the Company or referring to the number of shares having voting rights.
In addition, the limitations provided for above shall lapse, without any need for a new decision by an Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting, when a natural or legal person, acting alone or in concert with one or several natural or legal persons, comes to hold at least two-thirds of the total number of Company shares following a public offer for all of the Companys shares. In such a case, the Board of Directors would take note of the said lapse and carry out the related formalities concerning modification of the charter and bylaws.

RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS ATTRIBUTABLE TO TOTAL S.A.S SHARES (Items 10.B.3)
Whenever it is necessary to possess several TOTAL S.A.s shares in order to exercise a right, TOTAL S.A.s shares held in a number below the requisite number of TOTAL S.A.s shares do not entitle their holder to any right against TOTAL S.A., it being up to the shareholder in such a case to personally seek to collect or group together the requisite number of TOTAL S.A.s shares.
Allocation of results, liquidation rights and dividend rights
Each TOTAL S.A.s share entitles its holder to an ownership interest in the business assets, in the sharing of profits and of liquidation surpluses, in proportion to the number of shares outstanding from time to time.
The net income for the financial year, after deduction of the overhead and other social charges, as well as of any amortization of the business assets and of any provisions for commercial and industrial contingencies, constitutes the net profit.
From the said profit, reduced by the prior losses, if any, the following items are deducted in the indicated order:
1. |
5% to constitute the legal reserve fund until the said fund reaches one-tenth of the share capital; |
2. |
the amount set by the shareholders of TOTAL S.A. at a shareholders meeting of TOTAL S.A. with a view to constitution of reserves of which it determines the allocation or the use; and |
3. |
the amounts that the shareholders of TOTAL S.A. decide at a shareholders meeting of TOTAL S.A. to carry forward. |
The remainder is paid to the shareholders of TOTAL S.A. as dividends.
The board of directors of TOTAL S.A. may pay out interim dividends.
The shareholders meeting of TOTAL S.A. held to approve the financial statements for the financial year may decide to grant an option to each shareholder of TOTAL S.A., with respect to all or part of the dividend or of the interim dividends, between payment of the dividend in cash and payment in shares of TOTAL S.A.
The shareholders meeting of TOTAL S.A. may decide at any time, but only on the basis of a proposal by the board of directors of TOTAL S.A., to effect a complete or partial distribution of the amounts appearing in the reserve accounts, either in cash or in TOTAL S.A.s shares.
Voting rights
Each TOTAL S.A.s share entitles its holder to participate in shareholders meetings of TOTAL S.A., in any form whatsoever, subject to registering or recording its TOTAL S.A.s shares under the conditions and within the time periods provided for by regulations in effect.
All shareholders of TOTAL S.A. may attend shareholders meetings of TOTAL S.A., irrespective of the number of TOTAL S.A.s shares held.
Any shareholder of TOTAL S.A. may vote by mail, by using a form conforming to applicable regulations.
Any shareholder of TOTAL S.A. may delegate voting authority at shareholders meetings of TOTAL S.A. in accordance with the terms and conditions provided for by applicable regulations.
Legal entities that are shareholders of TOTAL S.A. take part in the meetings through their legal representatives or through any agent designated for that purpose.
Shareholders meetings of TOTAL S.A., whether ordinary, extraordinary or combined, make their decisions pursuant to the quorum and majority conditions applicable to the provisions governing the type of meeting, and they may exercise the powers attributed to them by law.
Subject to the following provisions, each shareholders meeting member is entitled to as many votes as he possesses or as many TOTAL S.A.s shares as he holds proxies for.
However, a double voting right is granted, in the light of the share of the share capital they represent, to all registered shares of TOTAL S.A. paid up in full that have been entered in the name of the same shareholder for at least two years, as well as, in case of a capital increase by incorporation of reserves, profits or premiums on shares, to the registered shares of TOTAL S.A. that are allocated without charge to a shareholder of TOTAL S.A. in connection with previously existing TOTAL S.A.s shares for which he benefits from the said right. Any merger of TOTAL S.A. would have no effect on the double voting right, which may be exercised within the absorbing company, if the latters articles of association have created a similar right.
The double voting right shall terminate automatically in respect of TOTAL S.A.s shares that are converted to bearer form or are transferred. Nevertheless any transfer from registered share of TOTAL S.A. to registered share of TOTAL S.A., due to inheritance ab intestat or testamentary inheritance, division of community property between spouses, or donation inter vivos to the benefit of the spouse or of relatives eligible to inherit shall not interrupt the period set above or shall retain the acquired right.
At shareholders meetings of TOTAL S.A., no shareholder of TOTAL S.A. may cast, by himself and through a proxy, in connection with the simple voting rights attached to the TOTAL S.A.s shares he holds directly or indirectly and in connection with the powers of attorney granted to him, more than 10% of the total number of voting rights attributable to TOTAL S.A.s shares. However, if he also holds, on an individual basis and/or as agent, double voting rights, the limit set in this way may be exceeded taking account solely of the additional voting rights resulting therefrom, without all of the voting rights that he exercises being able to exceed 20% of the total number of voting rights attributable to TOTAL S.A.s shares.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF TOTAL S.A.
TOTAL S.A. is administered by a board of directors, the minimum and maximum number of members of which are defined by applicable law, as amended from time to time. The terms of office of the members of the board of directors are staggered to more evenly space the renewal of appointments and to ensure the continuity of the work of the board of directors and its committees.

TOTAL S.A.s central works council shall appoint one director of TOTAL S.A. representing employees.

AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES
(Items 12.D.1 and 12.D.2)
GENERAL
The shares of TOTAL S.A. may be issued in the form of ADS. Each TOTAL S.A.s ADS represents one share of TOTAL S.A.
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. is the depositary with respect to TOTALs ADS (the Depositary), which are evidenced by American depositary receipts (ADR). Each ADS represents an ownership interest in one TOTAL S.A.s share deposited with the custodian, as agent of the depositary, under the deposit agreement dated November 12, 2014 entered into between TOTAL S.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and all holders, from time to time, of ADS issued pursuant to the deposit agreement (the Deposit Agreement).
The principal executive office of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. is located at 4 New York Plaza, Floor 12, New York, New York, 10004.
You may hold ADS either directly or indirectly through a broker or other financial institution. If you hold ADS directly, by having ADS registered in your name on the books of the depositary, you are an ADS holder. This description assumes you hold ADS directly. If you hold the ADS indirectly, you must rely on the procedures of your broker or other financial institution to assert your rights as an ADS holder described in this section. You should consult with your broker or financial institution to find out what those procedures are. Your ADS will be issued on the books of the depositary in book-entry form, in which case your ADS will be held through the Depositarys direct registration system reflecting their ownership of these ADS. Your ADS will be evidenced by one ADR.
As an ADS holder, you will not be treated as one of TOTALs shareholders and you will not have shareholder rights. The Depositary or its nominee will be the holder of record of the TOTAL S.A.s shares underlying your ADS. As an ADS holder, you will have ADS holder rights. The Deposit Agreement entered or to be entered into between TOTAL S.A., the Depositary, you, as an ADS holder, and the other holders and beneficial owners of ADS sets out ADS holders rights as well as the rights and obligations of the Depositary. New York law governs the Deposit Agreement and the ADR. Because the Depositary or its nominee will actually be the record owner of the TOTAL S.A.s shares, you must rely on it to exercise the rights of a shareholder of TOTAL S.A. on your behalf.
The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the Deposit Agreement. Because it is a summary, it does not contain all the information that may be important to you. For more complete information, you should read the entire form of Deposit Agreement form and the ADR form, which contain the terms of the ADS. Please refer to exhibit 99.A on Form F-6 (File No. 333-199737) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 31, 2014). Copies of the Deposit Agreement are also available for inspection at the offices of the Depositary and the custodian.
DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS
How will you receive dividends and other distributions on TOTAL S.A.s shares?
The Depositary has agreed to pay to you the cash dividends or other distributions it or the custodian receives on TOTAL S.A.s shares, after converting any cash received into U.S. dollars, and, in all cases, deducting its fees and expenses and any taxes required to be withheld. You will receive these distributions in proportion to the number of TOTAL S.A.s shares your ADS represent.
Cash. Whenever the Depositary or the custodian shall receive any cash dividend or other cash distribution by TOTAL S.A., the Depositary shall, after any necessary conversion of such distribution into U.S. dollars pursuant to section 4.06 of the Deposit Agreement, and after fixing a record date pursuant to section 4.07 of the Deposit Agreement, promptly distribute to the extent practicable the amount thus received to any persons in whose names an ADR is registered on the books of the Depositary maintained for such purpose (an Owner) as of such record date in proportion to the number of ADS held by them on an averaged or other practicable basis, subject to such distribution being impermissible or impracticable with respect to certain Owners.
The Depositary shall make appropriate adjustments in the amounts so distributed in respect of any amounts withheld or requested to be withheld by TOTAL S.A., the custodian or the Depositary from any such distribution on account of (i) taxes or other governmental charges or (ii) charges of the Depositary in the conversion of foreign currency into U.S. dollars pursuant to section 4.06 of the Deposit Agreement and any other charges of the Depositary pursuant to section 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement.
The Depositary shall distribute only such amount, however, as can be distributed without attributing to any Owner a fraction of one cent. Any such fractional amounts shall be withheld without liability and dealt with by the Depositary in accordance with its then current practices.
TOTAL S.A. or its agent will remit to the appropriate governmental agency in the Republic of France all amounts withheld and owing to such agency.
Shares. If any distribution upon any TOTAL S.A.s share consists of a dividend in, or free distribution of, TOTAL S.A.s shares, including pursuant to any program under which Owners may elect to receive cash or TOTAL S.A.s shares, the Depositary may, upon TOTAL S.A.s prior consultation and approval, and shall if TOTAL S.A. requests so, distribute additional ADR evidencing whole ADS representing the amount of TOTAL S.A.s shares received as such dividend or free distribution, and distribute to the
Owners as of the record date fixed pursuant to section 4.07 of the Deposit Agreement, in proportion to the number of ADS held by them as of such date, additional ADS evidenced by one or more ADR, subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement with respect to the deposit of TOTAL S.A.s shares and the issuance of ADR evidencing ADS, including the withholding of any tax or other governmental charge as provided in section 4.12 of the Deposit Agreement and the payment of fees of the Depositary as provided in section 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement.
In any case involving fractional ADS, the Depositary shall sell the amount of TOTAL S.A.s shares represented by the aggregate of such fractions and distribute the net proceeds, all in the manner and subject to the conditions described in section 4.01 of the Deposit Agreement. If additional ADS are not so distributed or sold, each ADS shall thenceforth also represent the additional TOTAL S.A.s shares distributed. Except as otherwise provided, TOTAL S.A. and the Depositary will not offer TOTAL S.A.s shares to Owners unless a registration statement is in effect with respect to the securities represented by such TOTAL S.A.s shares under the Securities Act of 1933, or the offer and sale of such TOTAL S.A.s shares to Owners are exempt from registration under the provisions of such Act.
Other than cash or shares. Subject to the provisions of sections 4.12 and 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement, whenever the Depositary shall receive any distribution other than cash, TOTAL S.A.s shares or rights upon any TOTAL S.A.s share, the Depositary shall to the extent practicable cause the securities or property received by it to be distributed to the Owners as of the record date fixed pursuant to section 4.07 of the Deposit Agreement in proportion to the number of ADS held by them in any manner that the Depositary, after TOTAL S.A.s prior consultation if practicable, may deem equitable and practicable for accomplishing such distribution.
If, in the opinion of the Depositary, such distribution cannot be made proportionately among such Owners, or if for any other reason (including, but limited to, any requirement that TOTAL S.A. or the Depositary withhold an amount on account of taxes or other governmental charges or that such securities must be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 in order to be distributed to Owners or holders) the Depositary reasonably deems such distribution not to be feasible, the Depositary may, after TOTAL S.A.s consultation if practicable, adopt such method as it may deem equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution (including, but not limited to, the public or private sale) of the securities or property thus received, or any part thereof, and the net proceeds of any such sale (net of the fees of the Depositary as provided in section 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement) shall be distributed by the Depositary to such Owners as in the case of a distribution received in cash.
Charges of Depositary
The Depositary may charge, and collect from, (i) each person to whom ADS are issued, including, without limitation, issuances against deposits of TOTAL S.A.s shares, issuances in respect of distributions of shares, rights and other securities and/or property, issuances pursuant to a stock dividend or stock split declared by TOTAL S.A., or issuances pursuant to a merger, exchange of securities or any other transaction or event affecting the ADS or deposited securities, and (ii) each person surrendering ADS for withdrawal of deposited securities or whose ADS are cancelled or reduced for any other reason, U.S.$5.00 for each 100 ADS (or portion thereof) issued, delivered, reduced, cancelled or surrendered (as the case may be).

The following additional charges shall be incurred by the Owners, by any party depositing or withdrawing TOTAL S.A.s shares or by any party surrendering ADS, to whom ADS are issued (including, without limitation, issuances pursuant to a stock dividend or stock split declared by TOTAL S.A. or an exchange of stock regarding the ADS or the deposited securities or a distribution of ADS pursuant to section 4 of the Deposit Agreement, whichever is applicable (i) a fee of U.S.$0.05 or less per ADS for any cash distribution made pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, (ii) a fee of U.S.$1.50 per one or more ADR for transfers made pursuant to section 2.04 of the Deposit Agreement, (iii) a fee for the distribution or sale of securities pursuant to section 4 of the Deposit Agreement, such fee being in an amount equal to the fee for the execution and delivery of ADS referred to above which would have been charged as a result of the deposit of such securities but which securities or the net cash proceeds from the sale thereof are instead distributed by the Depositary to Owners entitled thereto, (iv) an aggregate fee of U.S.$0.05 per ADS per calendar year (or portion thereof) for services performed by the Depositary in administering the ADR (which fee may be charged on a periodic basis during each calendar year and shall be assessed against Owners as of the record date or record dates set by the Depositary during each calendar year and shall be payable at the sole discretion of the Depositary by billing such Owners or by deducting such charge from one or more cash dividends or other cash distributions), and (v) a fee for the reimbursement of such fees, charges and expenses as are incurred by the Depositary and/or any of its agents (including, without limitation, the custodian and expenses incurred on behalf of Owners in connection with compliance with foreign exchange control regulations or any law or regulation relating to foreign investment) in connection with the servicing of the TOTAL S.A.s shares or other deposited securities, the sale of securities (including, without limitation, deposited securities), the delivery of deposited securities or otherwise in connection with the Depositarys or its custodians compliance with applicable law, rule or regulation (which fees and charges shall be assessed on a proportionate basis against Owners as of the record date or dates set by the Depositary and shall be payable at the sole discretion of the Depositary by billing such Owners or by deducting such charge from one or more cash dividends or other cash distributions).
TOTAL S.A. will pay all other charges and expenses of the Depositary and any agent of the Depositary (except the custodian) pursuant to agreements from time to time between TOTAL S.A. and the Depositary, except (i) stock transfer or other taxes and other governmental charges (which are payable by Owners or persons depositing TOTAL S.A.s shares), (ii) cable, telex and facsimile transmission and delivery charges incurred at the request of persons depositing, or Owners delivering TOTAL S.A.s shares, ADR or deposited securities (which are payable by such persons or Owners), (iii) transfer or registration fees for the registration or transfer of deposited securities on any applicable register in connection with the deposit or withdrawal of deposited securities (which are payable by persons depositing TOTAL S.A.s shares or Owners withdrawing deposited securities), and (iv) in connection with the conversion of foreign currency into U.S. dollars, JPMorgan shall deduct out of such foreign currency the fees, expenses and other charges charged by it and/or its agent (which may be a division, branch or
affiliate) so appointed in connection with such conversion. JPMorgan and/or its agent may act as principal for such conversion of foreign currency. Such charges may at any time and from time to time be changed by agreement between TOTAL S.A. and the Depositary.
VOTING RIGHTS
How do you vote?
Upon receipt of notice of any meeting or solicitation of consents or proxies of holders of TOTAL S.A.s shares, the Depositary shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, send to the Owners:
(a) |
such information as is contained in the notice of such meeting and any solicitation material sent by TOTAL S.A. to the Depositary pursuant to section 5.06 of the Deposit Agreement; |
(b) |
a statement that the Owners of ADR as of the close of business on a record date established by the Depositary pursuant to section 4.07 of the Deposit Agreement will be entitled, subject to any applicable provisions of French law, the articles of association of TOTAL S.A. and TOTAL S.A.s shares (which provisions, if any, including any applicable provisions relating to double voting rights, shall be summarized in writing by TOTAL S.A. and then summarized in pertinent part in such statement), to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights, if any, pertaining to the TOTAL S.A.s shares represented by such Owners ADS; |
(c) |
summaries prepared by TOTAL S.A. in English of any materials or other documents provided by TOTAL S.A. for the purpose of enabling such owner to exercise such voting rights; and |
(d) |
a statement as to the manner in which such instructions may be given to the Depositary (including, without limitation, any blocking requirements), including a statement as to the manner in which TOTAL S.A.s shares with respect to which the Depositary does not receive properly completed voting instructions or receives a blank proxy will be voted, and setting forth the date established by the Depositary for the receipt of such instructions (the Receipt Date). |
In accordance with French law and the articles of association of TOTAL S.A., effective December 14, 1994, TOTAL S.A.s shares that have been registered in the name of the same holder for at least two years will be entitled to double voting rights. Similarly, effective December 14, 1994, ADS that have been held by the same Owner for two years or more and representing TOTAL S.A.s shares held in registered form for two years or more will be entitled to double voting rights. No other ADS will be entitled to double voting rights. Therefore, in order to be eligible for double voting rights, each holder of ADS must (i) request that the Depositary hold TOTAL S.A.s shares in registered form as provided in section 2.02 of the Deposit Agreement and (ii) hold the ADR in registered form for two consecutive years (i.e., registered in the name of such holder in the books of the Depositary). Voting rights may be exercised only in respect of one whole ADS or integral multiples thereof (subject to appropriate proportional adjustment in the event of a stock split, reclassification or other similar event).
Upon actual receipt by the ADR Department of the Depositary of properly completed voting instructions, from an Owner on such record date in the manner and on or before the time established by the Depositary for such purpose, the Depositary shall endeavor, insofar as practicable and permitted under any applicable provisions of French law, the articles of association of TOTAL S.A. and TOTAL S.A.s shares, to vote or cause to be voted TOTAL S.A.s shares in accordance with such instructions. The Depositary shall not itself exercise any voting discretion in respect of any TOTAL S.A.s shares. If the Depositary timely receives a signed voting instruction card from an Owner which fails to specify the manner in which the Depositary is to vote the TOTAL S.A.s shares represented by such Owners ADS on one or more matters at a meeting, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation, such voting instruction card shall constitute a procuration en blanc and shall be counted as a vote in favor of resolutions approved by the board of directors of TOTAL S.A. TOTAL S.A.s shares represented by ADS for which an executed voting instruction card was not timely received by the Depositary shall not be voted.
Notwithstanding anything in the Deposit Agreement to the contrary, the Depositary and TOTAL S.A. may modify or amend the above voting procedures or adopt additional voting procedures from time to time as they determine may be necessary or appropriate to comply with French or United States law or TOTAL S.A.s articles of association.
Voting instructions will not be deemed received until such time as the ADR Department responsible for proxies and voting has received such instructions notwithstanding that such instructions may have been physically received by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Depositary, prior to such time.
NOTICES, REPORTS AND OTHER COMMUNICATION
Reports
The Depositary shall make available for inspection by Owners at its transfer office any reports and written communications, including any proxy solicitation material, received from TOTAL S.A. which are both (a) received by the custodian or its nominee as the holder of TOTAL S.A.s shares and (b) made generally available to the holders of such TOTAL S.A.s shares by TOTAL S.A.
The Depositary shall also send to the Owners copies of such reports and communications (or English translations or summaries thereof) when furnished by TOTAL S.A. pursuant to section 5.06. Any such reports and communications, including any such proxy solicitation material, furnished to the Depositary by TOTAL S.A. will be furnished in French, unless TOTAL S.A. determines in its discretion to furnish such materials or any of them in English. The Depositary shall have no obligation to translate into English or any other language any documents provided by, for or on behalf of TOTAL S.A.

Promptly upon written request by TOTAL S.A., the Depositary shall furnish TOTAL S.A. with a list, as of a recent date, of the names, addresses and holdings of ADS by all persons in whose names ADR are registered on the transfer books of the Depositary.
Notices and Reports
On or before the first date on which TOTAL S.A. makes any communication available to holders of TOTAL S.A.s shares or any securities regulatory authority or stock exchange, by publication or otherwise, including without limitation a notice of any meeting of holders of TOTAL S.A.s shares, or of any adjourned meeting of such holders, or of the taking of any action in respect of any cash or other distributions or the offering of any rights, TOTAL S.A. agrees to transmit to the Depositary or custodians a copy of such communication in English in the form given or to be given to holders of TOTAL S.A.s shares, or with an English translation or summary.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, TOTAL S.A. shall furnish to the Depositary, or otherwise make publicly available, in English annual reports (including audited consolidated financial statements), semi-annual reports (including unaudited interim consolidated financial statements), and summaries in English of notices of shareholders meetings and other reports and communications that are made generally available by TOTAL S.A. to holders of TOTAL S.A.s shares.
If requested in writing by TOTAL S.A., the Depositary will arrange for the distribution of one or more of the above-referenced reports and summaries to all Owners. TOTAL S.A. will timely provide the Depositary with such quantity of such reports and summaries as shall be requested by the Depositary from time to time in order for the Depositary to effect such distributions.
Transfer Books by the Depositary
Until termination of the Deposit Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Depositary or its agent shall maintain, at a designated transfer office facilities for the execution, delivery and surrender of ADR in accordance with the provisions of the Deposit Agreement and a register for the registration, registration of transfer, combination and split-up of ADR which, in the case of Direct Registration ADR, shall include the Direct Registration System (the system administered by DTC pursuant to which the Depositary may register the ownership of uncertificated ADRs, which ownership shall be evidenced by periodic statements issued by the Depositary to the Owners entitled thereto). Such register shall at all reasonable times be open for inspection by the Owners and TOTAL S.A.; provided, however, that such inspection shall not be for the purpose of communicating with Owners in the interest of a business or object other than the business of TOTAL S.A. or a matter related to the Deposit Agreement or the ADR.
The Depositary may close the issuance and cancellation books, at any time or from time to time, when it deems expedient in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder or when reasonably requested by TOTAL S.A. solely in order to enable TOTAL S.A. to comply with applicable law.
DEPOSIT, WITHDRAWAL AND CANCELLATION
How are ADS issued?
The Depositary will issue ADS if you or your broker deposit TOTAL S.A.s shares or evidence of rights to receive TOTAL S.A.s shares with the custodian and pay fees and expenses and any taxes or charges, such as share transfer registration fees owing to the Depositary under the Deposit Agreement. TOTAL S.A.s shares deposited with the custodian must be accompanied by certain delivery documentation, including documentation showing confirmation of the book-entry transfer and recordation of the TOTAL S.A.s shares to the custodian or that such irrevocable instructions have been given and any necessary governmental approvals have been obtained. Upon each deposit of TOTAL S.A.s shares, receipt of related delivery documentation and compliance with the other provisions of the Deposit Agreement, including the payment of the fees and charges of the depositary and any taxes or other fees or charges owing, the Depositary will issue ADS in the name or upon the order of the person entitled thereto.
The Depositary will carry out all necessary procedures so that at any given time, commencing as of December 14, 1992, the number of TOTAL S.A.s shares representing ADS that are entitled to double voting rights under French Company law and the articles of association of TOTAL S.A. is equal to the equivalent number of ADS that would be entitled to double voting rights in accordance with section 4.08 of the Deposit Agreement. For purposes of determining whether ADS are entitled to double voting rights, upon a sale or other disposition of ADS by an Owner, unless otherwise specified by such Owner, the Depositary shall presume that the most recently registered ADS are being sold or otherwise disposed of by such Owner.
All of the ADS issued will be part of the Depositarys direct registration system, and a registered holder will receive periodic statements from the Depositary which will show the number of ADS registered in such holders name. An ADS holder can request that the ADS not be held through the Depositarys direct registration system and that an ADR be issued. The custodian
will not accept a deposit of fractional TOTAL S.A.s shares or a number of TOTAL S.A.s shares which would give rise to fractional ADS.
The custodian will hold all TOTAL S.A.s shares for the account of the Depositary. ADS holders thus have no direct ownership interest in TOTAL S.A.s shares and only have such rights as are contained in the Deposit Agreement. The custodian will also hold any additional securities, property and cash received on or in substitution for the deposited shares. TOTAL S.A.s deposited shares and any such additional items are referred to as deposited securities.
Requirements for depositary actions
Before the Depositary will issue, execute and deliver, register, register the transfer, split-up, combine or return any ADR, deliver any distribution thereon, or withdraw any deposited securities, the Depositary may require:
|
payment of share transfer or other taxes or other governmental charges and transfer or registration fees charged by third parties for the transfer of any deposited securities; |
|
satisfactory proof of the identity and genuineness of any signature or other information it deems necessary; and |
|
compliance with any laws or governmental regulations, or such reasonable regulations that the Depositary and TOTAL S.A. may establish consistent with the Deposit Agreement. |
The delivery of ADR against deposits of TOTAL S.A.s shares generally or against deposits of particular TOTAL S.A.s shares may be suspended and the transfer of ADR may be refused or the registration of transfer, split-up or combination of outstanding ADR may be suspended, generally or in particular instances, (i) during any period when the transfer books of the Depositary or any register for deposited securities are closed, or (ii) if any such action is deemed necessary or advisable by the Depositary or TOTAL S.A. at any time or from time to time because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body or commission, or under any provision of the Deposit Agreement.
The surrender of outstanding ADR and withdrawal of deposited securities may not be suspended subject only to (i) temporary delays caused by closing the transfer books of the Depositary or TOTAL S.A. or the deposit of TOTAL S.A.s shares in connection with voting at a shareholders meeting or the payment of dividends, (ii) the payment of fees, taxes and similar charges, (iii) compliance with any U.S. or foreign laws or governmental regulations relating to the ADR or to the withdrawal of the deposited securities, and (iv) any other circumstances specifically contemplated by Section IA(1) of the General Instructions to the Registration Statement on Form F-6, as amended from time to time, under the Securities Act of 1933.
RECLASSIFICATION, RECAPITALIZATION AND MERGERS
The Depositary may, in its discretion, and shall if requested by TOTAL S.A., amend the form of ADR or distribute additional or amended ADR (with or without calling the ADR for exchange) or cash, securities or property on the record date set by the Depositary therefor to reflect any change in par value, split-up, consolidation, cancellation or other reclassification of deposited securities, any share distribution or distribution of other securities or property not distributed to Owners or any cash, securities or property available to the Depositary in respect of deposited securities from (and the Depositary is hereby authorized to surrender any deposited securities to any person and, irrespective of whether such deposited securities are surrendered or otherwise cancelled by operation of law, rule, regulation or otherwise, to sell by public or private sale any property received in connection with) any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, liquidation, receivership, bankruptcy or sale of all or substantially all the assets of TOTAL S.A., and to the extent the Depositary does not so amend the form of ADR or make a distribution to Owners to reflect any of the foregoing, or the net proceeds thereof, whatever cash, securities or property results from any of the foregoing shall constitute deposited securities and each ADS evidenced by the ADR shall automatically represent its pro rata interest in the deposited securities as then constituted.
Promptly upon the occurrence of any of the aforementioned changes affecting deposited securities, TOTAL S.A. shall notify the Depositary in writing of such occurrence and as soon as practicable after receipt of such notice from TOTAL S.A., may instruct the Depositary to give notice thereof, at TOTAL S.A.s expense, to Owners in accordance with the provisions of the Deposit Agreement. Upon receipt of such instruction, the Depositary shall give notice to the Owners in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement, as soon as reasonably practicable.
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
How may the Deposit Agreement be amended?
The form of the ADR and any provisions of the Deposit Agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended or supplemented by agreement in writing between TOTAL S.A. and the Depositary without the consent of the Owners in any respect which they may deem necessary or desirable.
Any amendment or supplement which shall impose or increase any fees or charges (other than taxes and other governmental charges, transfer or registration fees, cable, telex, or facsimile transmission costs, deliver costs or other such expenses), or which shall otherwise prejudice any substantial existing right of Owners, shall, however, not become effective as to outstanding ADR until the expiration of 30 days after notice of such amendment shall have been given to the Owners of outstanding ADR. Every Owner at the time any amendment so becomes effective, if such Owner shall have been given such notice, shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such ADR, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by the Deposit Agreement as amended thereby.
In no event shall any amendment impair the right of the Owner of any ADR to surrender such ADR and receive therefor the deposited securities represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law.
Any amendments or supplements which (i) are reasonably necessary (as agreed between TOTAL S.A. and the Depositary) in order for (a) the ADS to be registered on Form F-6 under the Securities Act of 1933 or (b) the ADS or TOTAL S.A.s shares to be traded solely in electronic book-entry form and (ii) do not in either such case impose or increase any fees or charges to be borne by Owners, shall be deemed not to prejudice any substantial rights of Owners.
How may the Deposit Agreement be terminated?
The Depositary shall at any time at the direction of TOTAL S.A. terminate the Deposit Agreement by mailing notice of such termination to the Owners of all ADR then outstanding at least 30 days prior to the date fixed in such notice for such termination. The Depositary may likewise terminate the Deposit Agreement by mailing notice of such termination to TOTAL S.A. and the Owners of all ADR then outstanding if at any time 150 days after the Depositary shall have delivered to TOTAL S.A. a written notice of its resignation, a successor depositary shall not have been appointed and accepted its appointment as provided in section 5.04 of the Deposit Agreement.
The Depositary shall mail notice of such termination to the Owners of all ADR then outstanding at least 30 days prior to the date fixed in such notice for such termination. On and after the date of termination, each Owner shall, upon (i) surrender of each of its ADR at the Depositarys transfer office, (ii) payment of the fees of the Depositary for the surrender of ADR provided herein and (iii) payment of any applicable taxes and governmental charges, be entitled to delivery, to him or upon his order, of the amount of deposited securities represented by such ADR. If any ADR shall remain outstanding after the date of termination, the Depositary and its agents thereafter shall discontinue the registration of transfers of ADR, shall suspend the distribution of dividends to the Owners thereof, and shall not give any further notices or perform any further acts under the Deposit Agreement and the ADR, except that the Depositary shall continue to receive and hold (or sell) dividends and other distributions pertaining to deposited securities, and shall continue to deliver deposited securities, together with any dividends or other distributions received with respect thereto and/or the net proceeds of the sale of any rights or other property, in exchange for ADR surrendered to the Depositary (after deducting, in each case, the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of an ADR, any expenses for the account of the Owner of such ADR in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, and any applicable taxes or governmental charges).
At any time after the expiration of six months from the date of termination, the Depositary may sell the deposited securities then held hereunder and may thereafter hold uninvested the net proceeds of any such sale, together with any other cash then held by it hereunder, in a segregated account and without liability for interest, for the pro rata benefit of the Owners which have not theretofore surrendered their ADR.
LIMITATION ON OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITY TO ADR HOLDERS
Neither the Depositary nor TOTAL S.A. nor any of their respective directors, employees, agents or controlling persons (as defined under the Securities Act of 1933) shall incur any liability, if by reason of any provision of any present or future law, rule, regulation, fiat, order or decree of the United States, the Republic of France or any other country, or of any governmental or regulatory authority or stock exchange or market or automated quotation system, or by reason of any provision, present or future, of the articles of association of TOTAL S.A. or the deposited securities, or by reason of any act of God or war or terrorism, nationalization or other circumstances beyond their control, the Depositary or TOTAL S.A. or any of their respective directors, employees, agents or controlling persons (as defined under the Securities Act of 1933) shall be prevented or forbidden from or be subject to any civil or criminal penalty on account of doing or performing any act or thing which by the terms of the Deposit Agreement it is provided shall be done or performed; nor shall the Depositary or TOTAL S.A. or any of their respective directors, employees, agents or controlling persons (as defined under the Securities Act of 1933) incur any liability by reason of any non-performance or delay, caused as aforesaid, in the performance of any act or thing which by the terms of the Deposit Agreement it is provided shall or may be done or performed, or by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in the Deposit Agreement or the ADR.
BOOKS OF DEPOSITARY
Promptly upon written request by TOTAL S.A., the Depositary shall furnish TOTAL S.A. with a list, as of a recent date, of the names, addresses and holdings of ADS by all persons in whose names ADR are registered on the transfer books of the Depositary.
PRE-RELEASE OF ADS
The Deposit Agreement enables the Depositary to deliver ADS before the receipt of the underlying TOTAL S.A.s shares. This is called a pre-release of the ADS.
The depositary may also deliver TOTAL S.A.s shares prior to the receipt of ADS for withdrawal of deposited securities. A pre-release is closed out as soon as the underlying shares are delivered to the depositary. The depositary may receive ADS instead of TOTAL S.A.s shares to close out a pre-release. Each pre-release will be:
|
preceded or accompanied by a written representation and agreement from the person to whom Receipts are to be delivered whereby such person, (i) owns the TOTAL S.A.s shares or ADR to be remitted, as the case may be, (ii) agrees to indicate the Depositary as owner of such TOTAL S.A.s shares or ADS in its records and to hold such TOTAL S.A.s shares or ADS in trust for the Depositary until such TOTAL S.A.s shares or ADS are delivered to the Depositary or the custodian, (iii) unconditionally guarantees to deliver to the Depositary or the custodian, as applicable, such TOTAL S.A.s shares or ADS, and (iv) agrees to any additional restrictions or requirements that the Depositary deems appropriate; |
|
at all times fully collateralized with cash, U.S. government securities or such other collateral as the Depositary deems appropriate; |
|
terminable by the Depositary on not more than five (5) business days notice; and |
|
subject to such further indemnities and credit regulations as the Depositary deems appropriate. |
The Depositary will normally limit the number of ADS and TOTAL S.A.s shares involved in such pre-Release at any one time to thirty percent (30%) of the ADS outstanding.

An ambition: become the responsible energy major |
1.2.1 |
A collective ambition to meet the challenges facing the energy sector |
TOTAL is an integrated energy group and one of the worlds largest. Through its international presence and its activities, TOTAL has the intention to make its development a vehicle of progress that benefits as many people as possible and to be a factor of positive change for the societies and regions where it is present.
The United Nations, whose member States adopted in 2015 the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), have called upon corporations contribution to collectively find solutions to sustainable development challenges. TOTAL has committed since 2016 to contributing to the SDGs and has structured its approach to responsible development in order to make a more significant contribution to the SDGs, and in particular regarding access to energy, decent work, human rights and climate change.
Access to energy is a source of progress. It is the condition for economic and social development as well as for the improvement of the standard
of living of people around the world. In most countries, and in the developing countries in particular, access to low-cost energy is a priority.
The Groups vocation is to produce the energy that the world needs, and will need in the future, and to make it accessible to as many people as possible. This is a real challenge: despite progress made since 2010, 840 million individuals(1) still have no access to electricity.
This vocation is to be accomplished in a responsible manner and by working to provide an effective response to the climate change challenge, in particular.
Meeting the energy needs of a growing global population, providing tangible solutions to contribute limiting global warming, adapting to new patterns of energy production and consumption and changes to the expectations of customers and stakeholders constitute the challenges that a major energy player like TOTAL can help tackle.

Presentation of the Group Integrated Report
An ambition: become the responsible energy major |
In 20 years, TOTALs ambition is to be a leading player in energy, a player that contributes to the development of growing populations by supplying them with affordable energy, a player that helps provide answers to the climate challenge, a player that knows how to evolve with its customers.
TOTAL is committed to supplying people with the energy they need:
|
by producing, transforming and distributing energy at an affordable cost and to the highest safety and environmental standards; |
|
by supplying a responsible energy mix that takes the SDS scenario of the IEA into consideration and with a carbon intensity that regularly decreases; |
|
by providing its customers with solutions that enable them to use energy responsibly; |
|
with a quality of local service that is recognized. |
TOTALs ambition is to become the responsible energy major. Its raison dêtre is to supply to as many people as possible a more affordable, more available and cleaner energy.
1.2.2 |
An established strategy |
The Groups strategy takes into account the evolution of energy markets to respond to the challenges of climate change, notably relying on scenarios of the International Energy Agency.
The IEA 2019 World Energy Outlook anticipates three scenarios (Stated Policies Scenario (SPS), Current Policies Scenario (CPS) and Sustainable Development Scenario (SDS)). Among these scenarios, the SPS (central scenario of the IEA) for the short/mid term and the SDS for the mid/long term are important references for the Group. The Group therefore establishes its strategy and long-term price trajectory in line with the IEAs SDS scenario, which is compatible wih the Paris Agreement, and foresees oil prices converging towards 50$2018/b by 2050.
The SPS takes into account the measures already implemented by countries in the energy area as well as the effects of the policies announced by the Governments (including the Nationally Determined Contributions NDC of the Paris Agreement). The SDS takes into account necessary measures to achieve a temperature rise of less than 2°C compared to pre-industrial levels, and the energy-related goals set in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted in 2015 by the UN members.
Consequently the Groups strategy relies on four pillars:
|
expanding along the natural gas value chain; |
|
developing profitable low-carbon electricity businesses; |
|
focusing on oil assets at a low breakeven point; |
|
investing in technologies and businesses that contribute to carbon neutrality. |
The ambition of this strategy is to reduce the carbon intensity of the energy mix that the Group offers to its customers (-15% by 2030 and -40% by 2040), and thus to contribute to the evolution of market demand and societys energy transition.
TOTAL acts on several complementary levels:
|
on products, by developing energies with a lower carbon content, such as gas (including biogas and hydrogen), renewables and biofuels; |
|
on demand, by developing, for example, electric mobility or LNG as transport fuel; |
|
on emissions, by first reducing emissions from its facilities (CO2 and methane), but also by advising its customers in reducing their emissions (electric mobility solutions, storage, energy efficiency consulting) and by developing carbon sinks (nature-based solutions or CCUS). |
1.3 |
Advantages that allow the Group to stand out in a changing energy world |
To become the responsible energy major and to help provide specific solutions to major challenges over the next decades, TOTAL can rely on several advantages: its long-standing and broad geographical presence,
the know-how and commitment of its employees and the power of its integrated business model.
1.3.1 |
A long-standing energy player |
Energy is rooted in TOTALs history.
A producer of oil and gas for almost a century, the Groups history started in 1924 with the creation of the Compagnie française des Pétroles (CFP), which began its oil production activities in the Middle East at this time.
Over the years, the Group has diversified its activities and opened sites around the world by positioning itself in the gas, refining and petrochemical segments and the distribution of petroleum products, solar power, sustainable biofuels and electricity.

Advantages that allow the Group to stand out in a changing energy world |
1.3.2 |
A differentiating geographic presence |
It is thanks to its pioneer spirit and sense of solidarity that TOTAL has become a worldwide oil and gas major and that it has forged partnerships of trust with its host countries. Remaining loyal to these principles means being continuously open to forming new alliances, key to the Groups development, and creating new opportunities in the energy sector despite geopolitical uncertainty.
It is thanks to a strong and lasting geographic presence that the Group will be able to meet its goal of becoming a recognized partner in the sustainable economic and social development of the communities and regions in which it operates for the creation of shared value.
1.3.2.1 |
From one history to one ambition |
The Group is present in more than 130 countries and on 5 continents. There are three geographical areas in particular that represent the historical foundations of TOTALs strategy and today stand out thanks to the quality of the on-site teams and solid partnerships forged over time:
|
Europe: at the heart of the Groups knowledge, Europe is home to the Groups decision-making center; it is the hub of its research and innovation work and constitutes a strong industrial base; |
|
Middle East: the Group began its production activities in this geographical area and is recognized in the Middle East as a partner of choice among producing nations and their national oil companies. The aim of the Group is to develop its activities in all business lines in this geographical area, even when geopolitical tension rises; |
|
Africa: TOTAL is one of the largest integrated majors on the African continent, notably thanks to the volume of hydrocarbon production and the number of Group-branded service stations on the African continent(1). TOTAL generates electricity from renewable sources there. The Group intends to remain the continents partner of choice and to contribute to its economic and social development through the creation of shared value. |
Today, new areas which are vital for the Group have appeared, particularly the Americas, which represent a strong growth opportunity for all of the Groups businesses, Asia, in order to benefit from this markets high rate of growth, and Russia, where TOTAL is working on major industrial projects and maintains a special and long-term relationship with local industrial players.
It is by giving priority to our strengths and nurturing our differences that we will achieve our ambition of becoming a leading player in the energy of the future.
Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
|
1.3.2.2 |
Managing geopolitical uncertainty |
The world is confronted by political and geopolitical uncertainty characterized by tension connected to conflict and war in countries such as Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Libya. It is exacerbated by international terrorism.
In this context, TOTAL intends to develop its activities by putting its competencies to the benefit of each of the countries where it operates, by complying with applicable laws and international economic sanctions where imposed. The Group also ensures that the capital invested in the most sensitive countries remains at a level limiting its exposure in each of them.
This is the approach TOTAL intends to pursue and which was materialized following its decision to carry on investing in Russia while complying with the economic sanctions imposed by the United States and Europe. The Group, if necessary, stops its activities in countries that become too risky (such as Yemen and Syria).
Loyalty to its partners, particularly during such kind of situations, is also a strong characteristic of the Group.
TOTALs activities, wherever they are, are carried out in strict adherence to applicable laws and the Groups Code of Conduct and within the framework of compliance and risk management procedures.
By continuing to invest and to supply energy, the Group helps maintain conditions that favor the economic development of these geographical areas.
For more information on risk factors, internal control and risk management procedures and reasonable vigilance measures implemented by the Group, refer to points 3.1, 3.3 and 3.6 of chapter 3.
1.3.2.3 |
A local socioeconomic development partner |
Safety, integrity, business ethics, respect for human rights, and societal and environmental responsibility are principles and values that form part of the Groups operating processes. If TOTAL is able to build and develop partnerships throughout the world, it is also because it has incorporated a local value creation process into its development model. This process is systematic, professional and a major competitive advantage.
The Group is building a global, integrated local development approach (in-country value) that is part of a dialogue with the local populations and public and private players. This approach creates synergies among all the value-creating elements for host countries (employment, subcontracting, infrastructure, support for local industries, socioeconomic development projects, education, access to energy, etc.) by promoting the Groups industrial know-how. The Group intends to apply this approach over the long term to ensure that its presence in these regions and its major projects create shared prosperity.
In the face of growing inequalities and todays environmental challenges, TOTAL wanted to strengthen its public interest initiatives and efforts in the development of the regions where it has a long-standing presence. In 2017, it structured its actions within the framework of the Total Foundation program, which covers the citizenship initiatives undertaken by the Groups subsidiaries and its corporate foundation (Fondation dentreprise).
Through this program, TOTAL and its corporate foundation intend to contribute to the development of the host regions of the Group by promoting actions in favor of young people. It focuses on four fields of action: the education and integration of young people, road safety, forests and climate and dialogue between cultures and heritage.
At the end of 2018, the Group launched the Action! program engagement that allows its employees to spend up to three days a year of their working time on solidarity projects in favor of the development of its host regions.

Employees committed to better energy |
As of December 31, 2019
1.3.3.1 |
Employee diversity, a competitive edge |
The Group is an image of its employees: diverse. The diversity of talents within TOTAL is crucial to its competitiveness, innovative capacity and attractiveness. Diversity in all its forms is promoted at the highest level, and in particular by the Group Diversity Council, which is chaired by a member of the Executive Committee.
With over 160 nationalities represented, a presence in more than 130 countries, and more than 720 business-related competencies, the Group is a global player. Women make up 35.8% of the workforce and 28.5% of managers. A wide range of opinions and backgrounds enable innovative solutions and new opportunities to arise.
Such diversity is an essential asset for the Group. The capacity of the Groups employees to mobilize themselves and act in an entrepreneurial spirit is vital. It enables ambitious projects to be completed and offers everyone the opportunity to give meaning to their work and grow professionally. In 2019, more than 3,300 employees engaged in solidarity projects as part of the Action! program.
Diversity is embodied, in particular, by the presence of 23.9% women members on the Management Committees (head office and subsidiaries), 25.5% women members of Management Committees of branches and large functional divisions, 54.8% international members on the Management Committees of the subsidiaries.
The Group has a long-standing commitment to promoting equal opportunity and diversity, which constitute, for everyone, a source of development where only expertise and talent count. In 2018, the Group decided to adhere to the Global Business and Disability Network Charter of the International Labor Organization (ILO) and is gradually implementing these principles in its subsidiaries.
1.3.3.2 |
Employee commitment is essential to the success of the Company project |
The Group addresses its challenges thanks to the commitment of its employees. It is for this reason that the Group strives to ensure that the most demanding safety, ethics and integrity, management and social performance practices are implemented wherever it operates. The aim of this process is to create the conditions that enable everyone to fulfill his or her potential and TOTAL to pursue its development.
In order to associate the employees to the major challenges of the Group, the expectations of employees are regularly listened to and discussed. Examples include the Total Survey, which compiles the views and suggestions for improvement of tens of thousands of employees every two years. Initiatives that have allowed employees to participate in building the One Total Company project have been initiated since 2016.
In 2019, a new step was taken when the Group launched One Total, Better Together, the human part of its Company project that meets the employees expectations and in order to raise the Groups human ambitions to the same height as its business ambition. This project has three ambitions: to develop the talent of every employee, to promote the coaching dimension of managers and to build a company, where it is a good place to work. All the Group subsidiaries(1) were involved in several deployment projects.
In order to accompany each employee in his or her professional development and provide him or her with dedicated support, more than 400 talent developers were implemented and trained within the Group in 2019. Jobs offers are published within the Group in a transparent manner allowing each employee to be an actor in his or her mobility. TOTAL promotes functional, geographic mobility and lifelong training in order to develop everyones skills and employability and meet business challenges.
Women and men are at the heart of our collective project. Our employees in all corners of the planet and thanks to their individual commitment are the energy that drives our Group forward. This diversity is an invaluable asset that makes it possible to accomplish ambitious projects.

Advantages that allow the Group to stand out in a changing energy world |
Thus, in order to improve their expertise, each employee is encouraged to broaden his or her technical competencies by accessing a wide range of training courses (in 2019, 77% of employees within the scope of the WHRS(1) followed at least one course of classroom training). The technical and commercial know-how of employees and their ability to manage large projects underpin the Groups operational excellence and are essential for the Groups development. It is thanks to the recognized expertise of its employees that TOTAL is able to form partnerships of trust with the worlds main producing and consuming nations in the most demanding areas, such as deep offshore, liquefied natural gas (LNG), low-carbon energy, refining and petrochemicals, which are also areas in which the Group has developed some of the most high-performance platforms.
In order to support the development of the managerial culture, the training courses for managers have been adapted to encourage engagement, empowerment and constructive feedback.
The Group is also committed to social dialogue, which is one of the vectors used to modernize companies. Among the numerous stakeholders with which TOTAL maintains regular dialogue, the Groups employees and their representatives have a privileged position and role. The Groups entities set up systems to meet the specific needs of work organization and ensure, as far as possible, to promote a work-life balance. The Group promotes flexible working hours and voluntary remote working throughout the world.
This approach is illustrated by several commitments made by the Group, such as its adhesion on December 21, 2017, to the Global Deal initiative, alongside some 60 partners, States, trade unions, companies and international organizations. This international multi-party initiative aims at fighting against inequalities, encouraging social dialogue and promoting fairer globalization. It states that social dialogue, collective bargaining and trade-union freedom play an essential role in the fulfillment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 8, 10 and 17) of the United Nations. Social dialogue also results in the signing of international agreements that are emblematic of the Groups conviction at the very highest level of decision-making. In 2015, the Group signed a global agreement with the international IndustriALL Global Union trades union federation on the promotion of human rights at work, diversity, the participation of employees and their representatives in social dialogue and the recognition of health and safety at work. Discussions to renew this agreement in 2020 are underway. The Group had 312 active agreements (including 201 in France) with employee representatives in place at the end of 2019.
TOTAL has adopted a proactive approach by subscribing to the principles of numerous national and international agreements that fight against all forms of discrimination and by striving to ensure the safety and security of its employees and the respect of their fundamental rights. This approach testifies to TOTALs desire to entrench a continuous improvement process that benefits everyone. For more information, refer to point 5.3 of chapter 5.
1.3.4 |
The strength of the Groups integrated business model |
Energy markets on which the Group is active, oil, gas and electricity, are traded on markets that are known for their volatility. To manage this constraint as well as possible, TOTAL opted for an integrated business model throughout the value chain. The Groups activities extend from exploration and production of oil, gas and electricity to the energy distribution to the end customer through refining, liquefaction, petrochemicals, trading, energies transport and storage.
This business model enables the Company to benefit from synergies between different activities and from price volatility. It also enables the Company to manage the bottom of the cycle better and capture margin when the market improves. Thanks to an integrated business model, the Groups Upstream activities, which are more dependent on the price of oil, can complement its Downstream activities, which at the bottom of the cycle enable the Group to benefit from added value untapped by the Upstream part of the business.
Furthermore, the growth in demand for electricity is expected to outstrip global demand for energy in the coming years. In light of the digitization of the economy, the mobility revolution, and decentralized generation, many products and services are going to be electrified while, at the same time, a growing share of the worlds population will benefit from access to electricity.
Preference is given to three main priorities:
|
the integration on the gas chain from production to liquefaction and distribution; |
|
the generation of electricity using gas or renewable energies and its storage; and |
|
the trading and the sale of gas or electricity as the producer, or not. |

Strong commitments favouring sustainable growth |
1.4.1 |
Five strong values at the heart of the Group |
Safety, Respect for Each Other, Pioneer Spirit, Stand Together and Performance-Minded represent, just as its history, the part of TOTALs identity shared by all employees. These values guide the daily actions and relations of the Group with its stakeholders.
These five strong values also require all of TOTALs employees to act in an exemplary manner in priority in the following areas: safety, security,
health, environment, integrity in all of its forms (particularly, the prevention of corruption, fraud and anti-competitive practices) and human rights.
It is through strict adherence to these values and to this course of action that the Group intends to build strong and sustainable growth for itself and for all of its stakeholders, and thereby deliver on its commitment to better energy.
1.4.2 |
A Group engaged in R&D, innovation and the digital transformation |
The Group relies on a dynamic R&D policy to conduct and develop its activities. As part of the Groups ambition to become the responsible energy major, TOTAL finalized, in 2019, its R&D strategic plan to determine its positioning for the five coming years, together with its portfolio of research programs. The portfolio of programs is divided into five focus areas: safety and environment, low-carbon mix, operational efficiency, new products and, finally, digital.
As appropriate, the R&D programs may be conducted by a business segment in the interests of its own or other segments activities, or coordinated at the Group level for transverse issues in order to establish synergies, make the best possible use of the expertise available, and pool knowledge and infrastructures. For example, the purpose of the CCUS (carbon capture, utilization and storage) transverse program is to enable the Group to become a major player in this area and throughout the value chain so that it can contribute to the reduction in global CO2 emissions and prepare new business opportunities. For more information, refer to point 2.7 of chapter 2.
The Group is committed to optimizing R&D resources in terms of human talent, infrastructure and regional centers of excellence, as well as to working with selected partners that bring specific, high- level skills to every project.
Furthermore, after several years of deploying digital projects across all of the Groups activities and after having built the necessary technological foundations, TOTAL is accelerating its digital transformation by launching the creation of a Digital Factory, which is expected to start in the heart of Paris in the second semester 2020.
The goal is to bring together multidisciplinary teams made up of TOTALs business experts and around 300 new talents from all digital domains.
Using all the available data of the Group and relying on technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things or 5G, these teams will mobilize to build digital solutions, in short cycles and with agility in a flexible manner, to support the Group in various areas: improving industrial operations in terms of availability and cost, new services for TOTALs customers aiming to, for example, optimize their energy consumption, development in new decentralized energies and reducing environmental impact.
In addition to the support and strengthening of the innovation efforts in the Group, the ambition is to create up to $1.5 billion in value per year through digital means by 2025.
1.4.3 |
A targeted investment policy |
The oil markets being fundamentally volatile, the Group continues to select its investments very carefully, in line with its strategy. These investments are dedicated to:
|
the development of new upstream and downstream facilities in order to benefit from the integrated business model in a favorable cost environment; |
|
the adding of attractive resources to the portfolio through the exploration or acquisition of resources that have already been discovered, focusing on low breakeven projects; |
|
strong growth in its low-carbon activities in the gas and electricity sectors; and |
|
the growth of its Marketing & Services business in buoyant markets. |
The Group also strives to continuously improve its portfolio by selling its least strategic assets within the framework of its 5 billion dollars asset sale program over the years 2019-2020.
In 2019, net investments reached $17.4 billion of which $13.4 billion in organic investments(1) and $4.1 billion in net acquisitions. For more information, refer to point 2.6 of chapter 2.

A continuous improvement dynamic |
The United Nations, whose member States adopted the 17 SDGs in 2015, have called upon corporations contribution to collectively find solutions to sustainable development challenges. TOTAL has committed since 2016 to contributing to the SDGs and has structured its approach to responsible development in order to make a more significant contribution to the SDGs.
The Group has identified the most significant SDGs for its activities in order to focus its efforts on the segments in which it is able to make a direct contribution.
TOTAL therefore considers the SDGs as an opportunity to better measure and assess its contribution to society as a whole.
The Group builds its CSR approach on the basis of its four pillars of action for sustainable development, namely the integration of the climate in its strategy, the preservation of the environment, respect for and the mobilization of employees and suppliers and its contribution to the economic development of its host regions (also refer to chapter 5).

Support for global initiatives |
Aside from complying with national regulations in force in every country where the Group operates, TOTAL reiterates each year, since 2002, its support for the United Nations Global Compact, of which it is one of the companies recognized as LEAD. The Group also follows the UN Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights since their adoption in 2011.
The challenges posed by climate change require a collective effort. The Group has joined various international initiatives that involve the private and the public sectors, notably:
|
carbon pricing (the World Banks Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition, Caring for Climate United Nations Global Compact, Paying for Carbon call: TOTAL and five other industry leaders); |
|
the end of routine flaring of associated gas (the World Banks Zero Routine Flaring by 2030 initiative); |
|
control over methane emissions (Oil & Gas Methane Partnership of the Climate and Clean Air Coalition, the Oil & Gas Climate Initiative in cooperation with UN Environment and EDF, etc.); |
|
greater transparency: support of the recommendations from the G20 Financial Stability Board Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). |
TOTAL also actively supports collaborative and multi-stakeholder initiatives in areas in which the coordinated involvement of governments, companies and civil society is key to global progress, particularly:
|
financial transparency: the Group has adhered to the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) since its launch in 2002; |
|
responsible tax principles: the Group publicly supports the B-Teams responsible tax principles; |
|
the fight against corruption: TOTAL joined the Partnering Against Corruption Initiative (PACI) in 2016, and the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer has been co-chairman since the end of 2019; |
|
the challenge of security and respect for human rights by being a member of the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights (VPSHR) since 2012; |
|
diversity: TOTAL signed in 2010 the Womens Empowerment Principles Equality Means Business set out by the United Nations Global Compact, in 2016 Close the gender gap a call to action in World Economic Forum, and, in 2018, the pledge for diversity as part of the European Roundtable of Industrialists; |
|
disability: in October 2018, TOTAL signed the International Labor Organization (ILO) Global Business and Disability Network Charter. In January 2020, TOTAL joined The Valuable 500, a global initiative aiming at explicitly putting the inclusion of people with disabilities and the unlocking of their potential in the agenda of multinational companies; |
|
biodiversity: in 2018, TOTAL joined the Act4Nature initiative and made commitments to protect biodiversity; |
|
the circular economy: TOTAL is a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, launched in 2019, which brings together companies in the plastics and consumer goods value chain to provide solutions for the disposal of plastic waste in the environment, especially in oceans, and to promote their recycling in a circular economy; |
|
better access to energy for populations of emerging countries through a partnership with SE4All; |
|
the reduction of inequalities through the development of social dialogue to favor more inclusive economic growth: TOTAL was one of the first French companies to adhere to the Global Deal initiative at the end of 2017. |

Governance and an organizational structure to support the Groups ambition |
The Board of Directors has decided to submit to the Annual Shareholders Meeting on May 29, 2020 a project to transform TOTAL S.A. into a European company (Societas Europaea or SE). The legal status of a European company is common to all the countries in the European Union and is used by an increasing number of companies in France and in Europe. This status will better reflect the economic and social reality of the Group and fully recognize its European dimension. The Group has a strong European presence, with activities in 25 European countries, representing more than 60% of its employees and more than 70% of the Groups sales.
The conversion of TOTAL S.A. into a European company will have no impact on its governance, activities, tax affairs, the organization of the Company, where it is listed or the location of the head office, which will remain in France. The Company bylaws that are amended as a result of this conversion project, which will be submitted to the Shareholders Meeting on May 29, 2020, will also include various adaptations, related in particular to the French law n°2019-486 of May 22, 2019 on the growth and the transformation of businesses, known as the Pacte law, particularly with regard to the participation of employees in the Companys Board of Directors.

1.5.1 |
A Board of Directors fully committed to the Companys strategic orientations |
Composition on March 18, 2020
(a) |
Excluding the director representing employee shareholders and the director representing employees, in accordance with the recommendations of the AFEP-MEDEF Code (point 9.3). For more information, refer to point 4.1.1.4 of chapter 4. |
(b) |
Excluding the director representing employees, in accordance with Article L. 225-27-1 of the French Commercial Code and the director representing employee shareholders, in accordance with article L. 225-23 of the French Commercial Code. |
Composed as of March 18, 2020, of 12 directors, including 9 independent members, the Board of Directors reflects diversity and complementarity of experience, expertise, nationalities and cultures necessary to take account of the interests of all the Groups shareholders and stakeholders.
The Board of Directors determines the strategic orientations of TOTAL and supervises their implementation. It approves investment and divestment operations when they concern amounts that exceed 3% of the Groups equity and examines all matters related to the proper running of the Company. It examines major operations that reflect the inclusion of climate challenges in TOTALs strategy and verifies their strategic coherence. It monitors the management of both financial and non-financial matters and ensures the quality of information provided to shareholders and to financial markets.
The Board of Directors relies on the work of four Committees that it has constituted: the Audit Committee, the Governance and Ethics Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Strategy & CSR Committee.
Since December 2015, Mr. Patrick Pouyanné has held the position of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TOTAL S.A. His term of office having been renewed at the Annual Shareholders Meeting on June 1, 2018 for a three-year period, the Board of Directors has reappointed Mr. Pouyanné as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for an equal period to that of his mandate as a director. The decision to uphold the combined functions of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer was made following work undertaken by the Governance and Ethics Committee, in the interest of the Company and in compliance with the traditions of the Group. The Board of Directors deemed that the unified Management
Form was most appropriate to the Groups organization, modus operandi and business, and to the specificities of the oil and gas sector. In its decision, the Board in particular noted the advantage of having unified management in strategic negotiations with States and the Groups partners. The Board of Directors regularly examines whether maintaining the unified Management Form remains appropriate.
Attentive to the concerns of investors and stakeholders, the Board of Directors pays specific attention to the balance of power within the Group. It was for these reasons that the Board of Directors amended the provisions of its Rules of Procedure in 2015 to provide for the appointment of a Lead Independent Director in case of the combination of the positions of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. The Lead Independent Directors duties, resources and rights are described in the Rules of Procedure of the Board of Directors. The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the Lead Independent Director are the shareholders dedicated contacts on issues that fall within the remit of the Board of Directors. Since 2016, the Lead Independent Director has organized executive sessions with the independent directors so that they may discuss the Groups strategic challenges and working practices. The directors are also in regular contact with the members of the Groups management team, whether members of the Executive Committee during Board Meetings or operational managers during Group site visits. These interactions between directors and managers enable the directors to gain a practical understanding of the Groups activities.
The balance of power within the Companys bodies is thereby ensured by a stable and structured governance.
Activities of the Board of Directors and of the Committees in 2019
The duties and work of the Board of Directors and of its Committees are described in point 4.1.2 of chapter 4.

[REDACTED SECTION: CERTAIN TEXT HAS BEEN REDACTED.]
2.1.1 |
Presentation of the segment |
TOTAL integrates the challenges of climate change in its strategy and anticipates the new trends in the energy market. By doing so, the Group strengthens its development on the integrated natural gas and low-carbon electricity value chains, from generation to distribution and deploys a profitable growth strategy in low-carbon activities of the future.
In LNG activities, the strategy aims to consolidate second worldwide position obtained following the acquisition of Engies LNG assets in 2018. This acquisition strengthened TOTALs positions in the production of LNG, increased the number of long-term purchase and sales agreements, its regasification capacities, in particular in Europe, and at the end, added a fleet of LNG ships, thereby offering more flexibility to its portfolio. TOTAL will also take benefit from an increase of its purchases from projects the Group is a shareholder, especially in the United States (Cameron), and on the longer term in Russia Arctic 2 LNG) and in Mozambique. In 2019, in order to support its ambition, TOTAL increased its LNG activity in the United States through the take-over of a 2Mt/y LNG portfolio from Toshiba and announced the acquisition of 37.4% of Adani Gas Limited, one of the leading local distributors of natural gas in India.
In low-carbon electricity activities, TOTAL is implementing a differentiated geographic strategy and is expanding along the whole value chain of electricity. In Europe, its strategy relies on the building of an integrated position in low-carbon electricity (based on generated from gas and renewables), being active from the production to marketing activities. In this frame, TOTAL acquired from KKR-Energas two combined-cycle natural gas power plants in France, located in Pont sur Sambre and Toul. In December 2018,
TOTAL and EPH also signed an agreement, subject to authorization by the competent authorities, allowing TOTAL to acquire in 2020 two combined cycle gas plants in France. In Europe, the Group relies on its subsidiaries Total Quadran, Total Solar International and Total Solar Distributed Generation and on its shareholding in Total Eren to increase renewable capacities of power generation (solar and onshore wind).
Outside Europe, TOTAL pursues the development of its renewable capacities of power generation via its subsidiaries (Total Solar International, Total Solar Distributed Generation) or its shareholdings in companies Total Eren and SunPower (United-States).
TOTAL is also committed, via its subsidiary Saft Groupe, to expand its capacities in stationary electricity storage in order to support the growth in renewable energies, intermittent per se (solar and wind).
TOTAL is also present in the marketing of electricity and natural gas in Europe, the trading of electricity and natural gas as well as trading of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), petcoke and sulphur.
Finally, TOTAL develops technological solutions and commercial offers that contribute to carbon neutrality. On the one hand, the Group, through its Greenflex subsidiary, proposes to its customers services to reduce their environmental footprint by optimising and decreasing their energy consumption. On the other hand, it invests in projects to capture, store or use CO2, and in natural solutions to capture carbon.
2.1.2 |
LNG |
As a pioneer in the LNG industry, TOTAL, thanks to solid and diversified positions, is one of the worlds leading players(2) in the global LNG market. The development of an integrated value chain is a key component of the Groups strategy: TOTAL has strengthened its presence from upstream activities, thanks mainly to its shareholdings in liquefaction plants located in the major production areas, until the distribution to end customers, through midstream activities, such as transport, regasification and trading.
Additionally, the Group is entering new LNG markets by developing Floating Storage and Regasification Unit projects (FSRU) in emerging countries, like in Benin, where an agreement was signed in July 2019.
2.1.2.1 |
Production and liquefaction of LNG by the Group |
GNL sold by the Group across worldwide markets partly comes from shares of LNG production held either in natural deposits of gas and condensates, either in liquefaction plants of which the Group is shareholder. The Group also sells LNG through contracts without equity (refer to 2.1.2.2 of this chapter).
In 2019, the ramp-up of the Ichthys plant in Australia and the Yamal LNG plant in Russia, plus the start-up of the Cameron LNG plant in the United States, enabled continual growth in the Groups production of LNG. The share of LNG production was 16.3 Mt in 2019, compared to 11.1 Mt in 2018 and 11.2 Mt in 2017. This growth of LNG production is expected to continue over the coming years, thanks to the Groups liquefaction projects under construction (United States, Russia, Nigeria and Mozambique), or by projects currently under study (Papua New Guinea, Russia, Oman, Mexico and the United States).
The information below describes the main exploration, production and liquefaction activities of the iGRP segment, presented by geographical area. The capacities referred to herein are expressed on a 100% basis, regardless of the Groups interest in the asset.

Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power segment |
Europe and Central Asia
In Russia, the Groups LNG production has come from the Yamal LNG project since the end of 2017.
In 2013, OAO Yamal LNG launched this project to develop the onshore field of South Tambey (gas and condensates) located on the Yamal peninsula and to build a three-train gas liquefaction plant with a total LNG capacity of 16.5 Mt/y. The Yamal LNG projects financing was finalized in 2016 in compliance with applicable regulations. At the end of 2017, the Yamal LNG plant started production with the first shipment aboard Christophe de Margerie LNG tanker. The second liquefaction train of the plant, with a capacity of 5.5 Mt/y, produced its first shipment of LNG in August 2018. The third liquefaction train started production in November 2018, more than one year ahead of the schedule planned when the project was launched. A fourth liquefaction train with a capacity of 0.9 Mt/y, using PAO Novatek technology, is under construction and is expected to start in the second quarter of 2020.
TOTAL holds an aggregate interest of 29.73% in Yamal LNG project (20.02% directly and 9.71% indirectly through PAO Novatek).
In March 2019, TOTAL acquired a 10% direct interest in the Arctic LNG 2 project. TOTAL and its partners approved the final investment decision for Arctic LNG 2 project in September 2019. With a production capacity of 19.8 Mt/y, the Arctic LNG 2 project will develop the resources of the Utrenneye onshore field (gas and condensates) located on the Gydan Peninsula which faces the Yamal Peninsula. It involves the installation of three gravity-based structures in the Ob Bay that will host the three liquefaction trains of 6.6 Mt/y capacity each. The first shipment of LNG is expected in 2023. The project is also expected to benefit from synergies with the Yamal LNG project. TOTAL has an aggregate interest in Arctic LNG 2, directly (10%) and indirectly (11.64%) through its shareholding in PAO Novatek. The agreement in May 2018 between TOTAL and PAO Novatek also enables TOTAL to acquire a direct shareholding of between 10% and 15% in all future PAO Novatek LNG projects on the Yamal and Gydan peninsulas.
In Norway, the Group holds an 18.40% interest in the gas liquefaction plant of Snøhvit (capacity of 4.2 Mt/y). The plant, located in the Barents Sea, is supplied with production from the Snøhvit and Albatross gas fields.
Africa (excluding North Africa)
In Nigeria, TOTAL holds a 15% shareholding in Nigeria LNG (NLNG), whose main asset is a liquefaction plant with a total capacity of 22 Mt/y. NLNG shareholders approved at the end of 2019 the launch of a plant extension project for an additional capacity of around 7 Mt/y, construction which should start in 2020, subject to discussions in progress with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corp (NNPC) on the stabilization of the fiscal framework and after the closing of the project financing. TOTAL is also present on the onshore field OML 58 (40%, operator), as part of the joint-venture with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). It has been supplying gas to NLNG and in the domestic Nigerian market since 2016.
In Angola, TOTAL holds a 13.6% shareholding in the Angola LNG project, which includes a gas liquefaction plant with a total capacity of
5.2 Mt/y near Soyo and supplied by gas associated with production from Blocks 0, 14, 15, 17, 18 and 32.
In Mozambique, in September 2019, TOTAL acquired from Occidental Petroleum Corporation, a company that hold 26.5% shareholding in the Mozambique LNG project previously held by Anadarko, for which the final investment decision was taken in June 2019. The project plans to liquefy the gas produced by the Golfinho and Atum fields in Offshore Area 1 by building two onshore liquefaction trains with a total capacity of 12.9 Mt/y.
The sale of nearly 90% of the output of Mozambique LNG has been secured by long-term contracts for delivery to customers in Asia and Europe. Part of the gas is expected to be kept for the domestic market in order to contribute to the countrys economic development.
Middle East and North Africa
In Qatar, the Group participates in the production, processing and exporting of gas from the North Field through its interest in the Qatargas 1 and Qatargas 2 LNG plants:
|
Qatargas 1: TOTAL holds a 20% interest in the North Field-Qatargas 1 Upstream field and a 10% interest in the LNG plant (three trains with a total capacity of 10 Mt/y); and |
|
Qatargas 2: the Group holds a 16.7% interest in train 5, which has an LNG production capacity of 8 Mt/y. |
TOTAL offtakes part of the LNG produced in accordance with the 2006 contracts, which provides for the purchase of 5.2 Mt/y of LNG by the Group.
In Oman, in 2018, TOTAL signed an MOU with the Oman government for the development of, on the one hand, natural gas resources on the onshore Blocks 10 and 11, located in the Greater Barik area (25%), on the other hand, and the development of an LNG plant in the port of Sohar, with an initial production capacity of 1 Mt/y (80%, operator). This plant will supply LNG ship bunkers.
The Group also produces LNG through its investments in the Oman LNG (5.54%)/Qalhat LNG (2.04%) through Oman LNG liquefaction complex, with an overall capacity of 10.5 Mt/y.
In the United Arab Emirates, TOTAL holds 5% (capacity of 5.8 Mt/y) ADNOC LNG, which processes the associated gas produced by ADNOC Offshore in order to produce LNG, NGL and condensates, and 5% of National Gas Shipping Company (NGSCO), which owns eight LNG tankers and exports the LNG produced by ADNOC LNG.
In Egypt, TOTAL holds a 5% shareholding in the first train (capacity of 3.6 Mt/y) in the Idku plant of Egyptian LNGs liquefaction project.
In Yemen, the deterioration of security conditions in the vicinity of the Balhaf site caused the company Yemen LNG, in which the Group holds a shareholding of 39.62%, to stop its commercial production and export of LNG and to declare force majeure to its various stakeholders in 2015. The plant has been put in preservation mode. For more information, refer to point 3.2 of chapter 3.
Americas
In the United States, the LNG production of train 1 (4.5 Mt/y) of the Cameron LNG plant in Louisiana, in which the Group holds a 16.60% shareholding, started in May 2019. The first phase of the Cameron LNG plant, which has a capacity of 13.5 Mt/y, comprises three liquefaction trains, each with a capacity of 4.5 Mt/y. Trains 2 and 3 are under construction and are expected to start up in 2020. TOTAL is continuing to evaluate the expansion of the plant beyond its initial capacity of 13.5 Mt/y.
In July 2019, TOTAL signed several agreements in order to develop the Driftwood LNG project in Louisiana, which are conditioned by the final investment decision of the project. In the event of a final investment decision, TOTAL is expected to invest $500 million in the Driftwood LNG project (capacity of 16.6 Mt/y), purchase 1 Mt/y of LNG from Driftwood LNG and 1.5 Mt/y of LNG from Tellurian Inc., and subscribe $200 million of additional shares of Tellurian Inc. TOTAL is therefore expected to increase its shareholding in the capital of this company, of which it held 18.22% on December 31, 2019.
In shale gas, thanks to its ability to control costs, TOTAL achieved satisfactory results from its assets operated on Barnett (90.92%), despite unfavorable gas prices.
In Mexico, TOTAL is continuing its discussions with Sempra Energy in order to participate in the Costa Azul project so as to takeoff 0.8 Mt/y of LNG.

Asia Pacific
In Australia, LNG production comes from the Gladstone LNG (GLNG) (27.5%) project and Ichthys LNG (26%) project.
The Ichthys LNG project involves the development of a gas and condensate field located in the Browse Basin. This development includes subsea wells connected to a platform for the production, processing and export of gas, a FPSO for processing and exporting the condensate, an 889 km gas pipeline and an onshore liquefaction plant in Darwin. At full capacity, the two trains of the gas liquefaction plant produce 8.9 Mt/y of LNG. Approximately 100,000 boe/d of offshore and onshore condensates and LPG are produced. Ichthys LNG started offshore production in July 2018 and exported its first LNG shipment in October 2018. Ichthys LNG has now reached its production plateau. The LNG is sold, mainly in the Asian market, under long-term contracts.
GLNG is an integrated project with production from the Fairview, Roma, Scotia and Arcadia fields, transportation to, and liquefaction capacity of 8.8 Mt/y located on Curtis Island, Queensland. The plants two trains are in production respectively since 2015 and 2016.
In Indonésia, following the expiry of the Mahakam license and the transfer of the associated activities to Pertamina (operator) on January 1, 2018, production has come from the Ruby gas field on the Sebuku license (15%), and is transported by a gas pipeline to the Senipah terminal for treatment and separation.
In Papua New Guinea, the Group owns a shareholding in Block PRL-15 (40.1%, operator since 2015). The State of Papua New Guinea retains the right to take a shareholding in the license (when the final investment decision is made) at a level of 22.5%. In this case, TOTALs shareholding would be reduced to 31.1%.
Block PRL-15 includes the two discoveries Elk and Antelope. The appraisal program of these discoveries was completed in 2017 and the results of the wells drilled confirmed the resource levels of the fields.
In 2019, development studies at conceptual stage and preparatory activities continued in the Elk and Antelope fields located on the block PRL-15. The gas produced by these fields will be transported by a 320 km onshore/offshore pipeline to the PNG LNG site, where it will be liquefied in two new trains to be constructed, with a total capacity of 5.4 Mt/y integrated to the existing producing facilities operated by a partner in the project.
TOTAL and its partners have signed an agreement with the independent State of Papua New Guinea defining the fiscal framework for the development of the Papua LNG project in April 2019.
2.1.2.2 |
Intermediate activities: purchasing, sale, trading and transport of LNG |
Purchasing, sale and trading of LNG
The Groups LNG trading activities are growing with the management and the optimization of a portfolio of long-term contracts and spot activity.
TOTAL acquires long-term volumes of LNG, mainly from liquefaction projects in which the Group holds an interest (refer to point 2.1.2.1 of this chapter). New LNG sources notably arising from, the acquisition of Engies LNG assets in the United States and new sanctioned project (Arctic LNG 2, Nigeria LNG Train 7, Mozambique LNG) are expected to ensure the growth of the Groups LNG portfolio in the coming years.
In addition, TOTAL also acquires long-term LNG volumes from American projects in which the Group has no equity (Sabine Pass, Corpus Christi, Cove Point and Freeport). These volumes supply and diversify its worldwide portfolio of LNG resources. TOTAL has strengthened its LNG activity in the United States through the take-over of Toshibas LNG portfolio in 2019. Consequently, TOTAL is expected to become the leading exporter of American LNG by 2021.
In 2019, TOTAL purchased 297 shipments under long-term contracts from Algeria, Australia, Egypt, the United States, Nigeria, Norway, Qatar and Russia and 186 spot or medium-term shipments, compared with 173 and 97 in 2018, and 59 and 49 in 2017 respectively. Deliveries from Yemen LNG have been halted since 2015.
TOTAL holds several significant contracts for the long-term sale of LNG including to Chile, China, South Korea, Indonesia, Japan, Panama, the Dominican Republic, Singapore and Taiwan. Additionally, the Group is developing LNG retail sales (by barge, tanker trucks) for industrial use or mobility (marine, waterways or road) in Europe, in the Caribbean in partnership with AES, and in Oman through the Sohar project (refer to point 2.1.2.1 of this chapter).
The Groups LNG trading activities are especially growing activity in the spot market. In 2019, these LNG trading activities represented a volume of 28.7 Mt, compared with 17.1 Mt in 2018 and 7.6 Mt in 2017. This increase is due to the acquisition of Engies portfolio of LNG activities, finalized in 2018.
The portfolio focuses, in particular, on Asian markets (including China, South Korea, India, Indonesia, Japan and Taiwan) and is made up of spot and long-term contracts that enable TOTAL to supply gas to its key customers worldwide, while keeping sufficient flexibility to seize market opportunities.
In September 2019, the trading teams were located in Geneva, Houston and Singapore.
LNG shipping
As part of its LNG shipping activities, TOTAL uses a fleet of 15 LNG vessels. To support the strong growth of the Groups LNG portfolio, seven additional new LNG vessels will be added to the chartered fleet by 2021. In addition to the long-term fleet, each year, TOTAL may also charter vessels on a spot and short-term basis to meet trading needs and to adapt its shipping capacity to seasonal demand.
TOTAL is also present in LNG shipping through its Total E&P Norge subsidiary, which charters two LNG vessels, and through the Groups shareholdings in LNG production and export projects that operate their own fleets of LNG vessels, such as Nigeria LNG, Angola LNG, Qatargas and Yamal LNG.
2.1.2.3 |
LNG regasification |
TOTAL holds shareholdings in regasification assets, or has entered into agreements that provide long-term access to LNG regasification capacity worldwide, through existing assets or projects under development in Europe (France,the United Kingdom, Belgium and the Netherlands), the Americas (United States and Panama), Asia (India) and Africa (Benin, Côte dIvoire). TOTAL also charters two FSRUs. In 2019, TOTAL holds an LNG regasification capacity of 28 Bcm/y, of which 20 Bcm/y comes from the acquisition of Engies LNG activities in 2018.
In France, TOTAL sold its 27.5% interest in Fosmax LNG company in February 2020. This disposal does not affect the capacity booking contract which provides TOTAL with a regasification capacity of 7.4 Bcm/y on this terminal. The terminal received 70 vessels in 2019, compared with 65 in 2018 and 55 in 2017. In 2018, TOTAL sold its 9.99% shareholding in the Dunkirk LNG terminal, with a capacity of 13 Bcm/y, but retained an access to a regasification capacity of 2 Bcm/y in 2019 on this terminal. TOTAL also holds a regasification capacity up to 3.8 Bcm/y on the Montoir de Bretagne terminal and 3 Bcm/y on the Fos Tonkin terminal.

SunPower will continue to develop and market energy services (a combination of photovoltaic and storage systems, and other services) in the American market, in the residential, industrial and commercial segments.
The spin-off is expected to take effect in 2020, provided that the suspensive conditions are met.
2.1.3.3 |
Electricity storage |
Electricity storage is a major challenge for the future of power grids and is vital in addition to renewable energies, which are intermittent by nature. Large-scale electricity storage is essential to promote the growth of renewables and enable them to become a significant share of the electricity mix.
The acquisition of Saft Groupe S.A. (Saft), achieved in 2016, is perfectly aligned with TOTALs ambition to develop its low-carbon business. Saft is a century-old French company that specializes in the design, manufacture and sale of high technology batteries for industry.
Saft develops batteries based on nickel, lithium-ion and primary lithium technologies. The company is active in transport (aeronautics, rail and off-road electric mobility), industrial infrastructures, civil and military electronics, space, defense and energy storage. Building on the strength of its technological know-how, and through its energy storage activities, Saft is well placed to benefit from the growth in renewable energies beyond its current activities, by offering massive storage capacities, combined with the generation of electricity from renewables. This is one of Safts main sources of growth.
In 2019, the company strengthened its energy storage and electric mobility activity, with the creation of a joint-venture with Tianneng Energy Technology (TET), a subsidiary of the private Chinese group Tianneng, with a view to developing their lithium-ion activity, and with the acquisition of Go Electric Inc., an American specialist in energy resilience solutions for microgrids. Additionally, Saft signed a contract with the Finnish operator TuuliWatti to build the largest energy storage system in the Nordic countries. Saft is also active in the European alliance working on a new generation of solid electrolyte batteries.
TOTAL and PSA Group announced in January 2020 their plan to combine their know-how to develop an electric vehicles battery manufacturing activity in Europe. To that end, they intend to establish a joint-venture named ACC (Automotive Cell Company). The project will leverage cutting-edge R&D, notably provided by Saft. The first phase of the project includes the building of a pilot plant on the land of Safts Nersac (France) facility, with scheduled start up in mid-2021, and will trigger the investment decision for two large-scale production plants, in order to reach the production of one million batteries a year by 2030.
As of year-end 2019, Saft is present in 19 countries (historically in Europe and the United States) and has over 4,500 employees. Saft is achieving growth in particular in Asia, South America and Russia, and has 14 production sites and approximately 30 sales offices. In 2019, Safts turnover amounted to $891 million.
2.1.3.4 |

The energy efficiency services market is experiencing strong growth, expected to accelerate in the coming years. In this context, the Group is investing in this market, with the aim of helping the Groups customers reduce their energy consumption and their emissions, in particular by choosing between the best energy sources.
GreenFlex is a 100%-owned subsidiary of TOTAL that offers services designed to improve the energy and environmental performance of its customers. GreenFlex has more than 700 customers, employs approximately 500 people and recorded sales of approximately 327 million in 2019.
2.1.6.2 |
Total Carbon Neutrality Ventures |
Formerly known as Total Energy Ventures, TOTALs venture capital fund has been renamed Total Carbon Neutrality Ventures (TCNV). Its investments are now entirely dedicated to carbon neutrality businesses and are expected to reach an aggregate amount of $400 million by 2023. TCNV invests in the upstream stage of the development of companies offering interesting technologies or economic models that enable companies to cut their energy consumption or the carbon intensity of their activities. With teams based in Europe and the United States, the fund makes its investments on a worldwide scale in smart energy, energy storage, smart mobility, bioplastics and recycling. While TCNV mainly invested in Europe and the United States in the past, the fund started investing in China in 2018. In particular, TCNV has signed an agreement with NIO Capital to cooperate and to invest in the mobility segment.
TCNV continues to develop its investment platform dedicated to emerging markets, and in particular to companies developing business models for access to energy for people who are not connected to the grid. The platform initially focused on Africa.
2.1.6.3 |
Carbon capture, use and storage |
The Group aims at developing new businesses to enable its industrial, domestic or electricity producing customers to capture, store or use their CO2 emissions, thanks to the study of new industrial solutions.
TOTAL considers CCUS to be one of the key drivers to tackle the challenge of the climate change and is particularly interested in the development of new business and industrial models associated with this value chain. The Group allocates 10% of its R&D budget, i.e. $100 million per year.
In this area, the Group intends to participate directly or indirectly (via the OGCI fund in particular) in large-scale pilot projects. In 2017, TOTAL launched studies with Equinor and Royal Dutch Shell for developing the transport and storage aspects of the first industrial commercial project in the world for the capture, transport and storage of CO2, with a capacity of 1.5 Mt of CO2/y. The project aims to store the emissions from two industrial sites near Oslo (Norway) and will also be able to collect emissions from other emitters. TOTAL is also involved in studies of other projects, in collaboration with other industrial companies and partners, in Antwerp (Belgium), Dunkirk (France), Teesside or St. Fergus (United Kingdom).
Svante Inc., LafargeHolcim, Oxy Low Carbon Ventures, LLC (OLCV), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Occidental, and TOTAL announced a joint study to assess the viability and design of a commercial-scale carbon-capture facility at the Holcim Portland cement plant in Florence, Colorado, U.S. This joint initiative follows the project CO2MENT recently launched by Svante, LafargeHolcim and TOTAL at the Lafarge Richmond cement plant in Canada, which already enhanced progress regarding reinjection of captured CO2 inside cement.
2.1.6.4 |
Natural carbon sinks |
Carbon sinks that use natural solutions are an effective means of capturing CO2. In June 2019, the Group created the new Total Nature Based Solutions (NBS) entity that is dedicated to investments in these solutions. This entity on the one hand, will fund, develop and manage activities that capture carbon naturally (reforestation, regenerative agriculture, etc.) and, on the other hand, will ensure the protection of ecosystems that already store high quantities of carbon emissions.
Operations that protect resource regeneration cycles simultaneously produce social, economic and environmental co-benefits for local communities. TOTAL intends to invest $100 million per year in such operations, starting in 2020. This significant investment is expected to enable the sustainable use of the above-mentioned value chains. The Groups target is to reach a sustainable storage capacity of 5 Mt CO2/y by 2030.

2.2.1 |
Presentation of the segment |
Exploration & Productions mission is to discover and develop oil and gas fields in order to meet a growing energy demand driven by non- OECD countries.
In an environment marked by the strong volatility of hydrocarbon prices, EPs strategy is to develop an oil and gas production model that is resilient (i.e., able to withstand a long period of low oil and gas prices), profitable and sustainable.
The deployment of the strategy is based on three main levers:
|
Responsibility: safety, a core value for the Group, is at the heart of all the activities of the segment which also aims at minimizing its environmental impact, in particular by significantly contributing to the reduction in emissions from the oil & gas scope operated by the Group; |
|
Profitability: maximizing the value of its assets through operational excellence (continuing efforts to cut costs, improving the level of availability of facilities and launching major projects on time and on budget) and ensuring strict |
investment discipline by being selective in the commissioning of new projects. In addition, EP continues to restructure or sell the least efficient assets in its portfolio; |
|
Durability: reserves are renewed, through exploration as well as access to already discovered resources, building on the Groups competitive advantages in terms of geographical spread and technical skills. |
In order to ensure the viability of its projects and long term strategy in light of the challenges raised by climate change, EP is focusing its oil investments on low break-even projects and developing its production of gas. EP integrated in the economic assessments of investments submitted to the Executive Committee, a price of CO2 of $30 to $40 per ton (depending on the price of crude oil), or the actual price of CO2 in a given country if it is higher. Since January 1, 2020, EP has been taking into account in the economic evaluations of investments submitted to the Executive Committee a CO2 price of $40/t with a sensitivity of $100/t as from 2030, independent of the Brent price scenarios. EP is also developing its expertise in technologies for carbon capture, use and storage.

Exploration & Production segment |
In Denmark, TOTAL is operator of the Danish Underground Consortium (DUC) (43.2%) resulting from the acquisition of Mærsk Oil in March 2018 and of Chevron Denmark Inc. in April 2019. The operated production (100%) comes from the two main DUC assets: Dan/Halfdan and Gorm/ Tyra fields. The Tyra field facilities constitute the main gas offshore treatment hub in Denmark. Production on the Tyra field was stopped in September 2019 as part of the redevelopment of the field that aims to extend the reserve life of the Tyra Denmark offshore gas field, the restart of which is expected in 2022. During the shut-down of the facilities in the field, the gas is exported from the facilities of the Dan/Halfdan fields.
In the Netherlands, production is sourced from the assets held in the 22 offshore production licenses, of which 18 are operated. Cost- cutting efforts allowed operations to restart at the end of 2019 on the F15 platform the production of which was stopped for decommissionning in 2017.
In Italy, TOTAL holds interests in and is operator of the Tempa Rossa field (50%) located on the Gorgoglione concession (Basilicate region), as well as three exploration licenses. Production at Tempa Rossa started in December 2019 and is expected to reach the planned capacity of 50 kboe/d in 2020.
In Azerbaijan, the development of the Absheron gas and condensates field (50%) in the Caspian Sea, which is operated by JOCAP (Joint Operating Company of Absheron Petroleum, a company jointly held by TOTAL and SOCAR), is in progress, with a view to supplying the domestic market. The production capacity of this first development phase is expected to be 35 kboe/d. The drilling operations, which were completed in November 2019, confirmed the significant potential of the deposit, beyond the first development phase.
In Bulgaria, TOTAL holds interests (40%) and is operator of the deep offshore exploration Block Han Asparuh. A 3D sismic campaign is expected in 2020.
In Greece, TOTAL holds interests (50%) and is operator of the exploration license on Block 2 in the Ionian Sea since March 2018. In October 2019, TOTAL was allocated interests (40%) and the operatorship of two licenses to explore two offshore blocks to the west and south-west of Crete.

Additionally, in May 2019, TOTAL announced the signing of a binding agreement with the Occidental Petroleum Corporation to acquire the Anadarko Petroleum Corporations assets in Algeria. However, the Algerian authorities have announced that they were contesting the change of control between Occidental and Anadarko and they were considering to exercise their pre-emption right.
Late 2018, TOTAL was granted two authorizations to conduct exploration works on two offshore prospective areas, with operatorship for one of them.
In Oman, TOTAL participates in the production of oil in Block 6 (4%) principally and on Block 53 (2%), the sale of which is subject to the approval of the competent authorities. The Groups LNG activities in Oman are presented in the iGRP segment in point 2.1.2 of this chapter.
Additionally, in February 2020, TOTAL signed a concession agreement with the Oman government to explore the resources of the onshore Block 12, located in the Greater Barik area.
In Iraq, the Groups production comes mainly from its 22.5% interest in the risked service contract for the Halfaya field, located in Missan province. Phase 3 of the project to develop the Halfaya field came into production in 2018 and reached the production plateau of 400 kb/d in March 2019. In July 2019, a contract was awarded for the treatment of the associated gas and the recovery of the LPG and condensates.
Following the finalization of the acquisition of Mærsk Oil in March 2018, TOTAL also holds an interest in the Sarsang field in Iraqi Kurdistan, which is already in production.
In Yemen, the deterioration of security conditions in the vicinity of the Balhaf site caused the company Yemen LNG, in which the Group holds a stake of 39.62%, to stop its commercial production and export of LNG and to declare force majeure to its various stakeholders in 2015. The plant has been put in preservation mode (for more information, refer to point 3.2 of chapter 3). TOTAL holds various stakes in four onshore exploration licenses, for which a situation of force majeure has been declared. In addition, TOTAL signed an agreement to sell its interest in Block 5 (Marib Basin, Jannah license, 15%) in 2018. This agreement remains subject to the authorities approval.
In Iran, TOTAL ceased all operational activity in Iran before November 4, 2018. Following the withdrawal of the United States from the Global Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action in May 2018, TOTAL withdrew from the project SP11 of the giant South Pars gas field and finalized its withdrawal on October 29, 2018, before the re-imposition of US secondary sanctions on the oil industry as of November 5, 2018. TOTAL was the operator and had a 50.1% interest alongside the Chinese state-owned company CNPC (30%) and Petropars (19.9%); a wholly-owned subsidiary of National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC). For information on international economic sanctions concerning Iran, refer to point 3.2 of chapter 3.
In Syria, TOTAL ceased its activities that contributed to oil and gas production in December 2011. For information on international economic sanctions concerning Syria, refer to point 3.2 of chapter 3.
In Cyprus, TOTAL is present in the offshore Blocks 6 (50%) and 11 (50%, operator) and entered the exploration Blocks 2 (20%), 3 (30%), 7 (50%,operator), 8 (40%) and 9 (20%) in October 2019.
In Lebanon, TOTAL is operator since February 2018 of two offshore exploration Blocks 4 and 9 (40%, operator).
Rest of the zone of the Middle East and North Africa
TOTAL also holds interests in an offshore exploration license in Block 7 (25%) in Egypt.

In the United States, hydrocarbon production in the Gulf of Mexico comes from its interests in the deep offshore fields Tahiti (17%), and, since March 2018, Jack (25%). It divested its 33.33% interest in the Chinook field in 2019.
TOTAL is operator of the North Platte discovery (60%) and holds interests in the Anchor (37.14%) discoveries. In December 2019, the Group started the FEED (Front End Engineering and Design) studies for the development of North Platte and decided to launch the development of Anchor. Production is expected to start on Anchor in 2024, and the field is expected to reach a plateau of 80 kboe/d.
On the Ballymore discovery (40%), announced in January 2018, the studies launched after the appreciation program completed in 2019, aim to establish the profitability of the project by optimizing its development plan.
TOTAL also holds a 25% interest in an asset in the Utica basin (on mining acreage located mainly in Ohio), where TOTAL has not taken part in any drilling in the last three years.
The Groups other Upstream activities in the United States are presented in 2.1.2 of this chapter.
In Canada, the Groups output comprises bituminous oil sands. TOTAL has a 50% interest in Surmont, a steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD(1)) production project, and a 24.58% interest of the Fort Hills mining extraction project, both in the province of Alberta. The application in January 2019 of production quotas by the Alberta government affected the production of Surmont and Fort Hills, but significantly improved the netbacks of the projects.
In Argentina, TOTAL operated approximately 27%(2) of the countrys gas production in 2019:
|
in Tierra del Fuego, on the CMA-1 concession, TOTAL operates the Ara and Cañadon Alfa Complex onshore fields and the Hidra, Carina, Aries and Vega Pleyade offshore fields (37.5%). |
|
in the Neuquén onshore Basin, the Group holds interests in 10 licenses and operates six of them, including Aguada Pichana Este and San Roque, where production has already started. Three shale gas and oil pilot projects operated by TOTAL were launched: the first on the Aguada Pichana Block, where production started mid-2015 in order to produce gas; the second on the Rincón la Ceniza Block, located on the gas and condensate portion of Vaca Muerta (45%, operator), where production started in 2016; and the third on the Aguada San Roque Block (24.71%, operator), started production in 2018 in order to produce oil. |
Following the good results of the Aguada Pichana gas pilot project and a reduction in drilling costs, the first phase of development of the giant Vaca Muerta shale play was launched in 2017 in the eastern part of the Block. In this project, all the partners of Aguada Pichana have signed an agreement to split the block in two which has enabled TOTAL to remain the operator of the Aguada Pichana Este Block, with 27.27% of the conventional part (Mulichinco), and 41% of the unconventional part (Vaca Muerta), and to adjust to 25% its interest in the Aguada Pichana Oeste, which is now non-operated by TOTAL and where a pilot came to production in 2017.
A second development phase was launched on the Aguada Pichana Este Vaca Muerta Block in 2018. It should allow the production plateau to reach 500 Mcf/d, which corresponds to the capacity of the existing plant.
The wells of the first pilot on San Roque have been in production since 2018, and a second series of wells started up in May 2019, confirming the formations oil potential.
The pilot development on the Rincón la Ceniza Block was completed in 2019 with the start of production of three new wells in the gas and condensates part. The delineation well drilled in 2016 on the neighboring La Escalonada Block in order to test the oil portion of the formation has also demonstrated good productivity. This well was connected to the Rincón la Ceniza plant in 2019. Two additional wells on the Rincón la Ceniza are expected to confirm the oil potential of these two blocks.
In December 2019, TOTAL divested its 2.51% interests in the bloc Sierra Chiata in the Neuquén onshore Basin.
In Exploration, TOTAL is operator of three new exploration licenses, in conventional offshore: CAN 111 and CAN 113 (50%) since October 2019 and MLO 123 (37.5%) since November 2019.
In Bolivia, TOTAL is present on six licenses, five of which are in production: San Alberto (15%), San Antonio (15%), the XX Tarija Oeste Block (Itau) (41%), Aquio and Ipati (50%, operator).
Production on the Incahuasi field, on the dAquio and Ipati Blocks, started in 2016. The connection of the ICS-3 well in 2018, the drilling of the ICS-5 well in May 2019, and the increase in the capacity of the treatment plant to 390 Mcf/d, are expected to durably maintain the production of the field.
On the Azero exploration license (50%, operator), the drilling of the NCZ-X1 exploration well continued in 2019.
In Brazil, production comes from the Mero field in the Libra (20%), Lapa (35%, operator) and Iara (22.5%) Blocks. The acquisition by the Group of an additional 10% interest in Lapa under the agreement signed in December 2018, thus increasing TOTALs interest in the asset from 35% to 45%, is ongoing. The finalization of this transaction remains subjects to the Brazilian authorities in 2020.
The Mero field is located in the Santos Basin, approximately 170 km off the coast of Rio de Janeiro. At year-end 2019, 18 wells had been drilled and the production started in 2017 with the FPSO Pioneiro de Libra (50 kb/d capacity) designed to carry out the long-term production tests necessary for optimizing future development phases. The first FPSO of the Mero development project, Mero 1, with a liquid treatment capacity of 180 kb/d was launched in 2017, is currently under construction and is expected to start up in 2021. The second development FPSO, Mero 2 (with 16 wells connected to the FPSO with a liquid treatment capacity of 180 kb/d) was launched in 2019 and is expected to start up in 2023.
On Iara, production started in November 2019, with the FPSO P-68 (capacity of 150 kb/d) with a view to developing the Berbigao and Sururu-West fields. The Atapu field is currently being developed and the FPSO P-70 (capacity of 150 kb/d) is expected to start in the first half of 2020.
On Lapa, a drilling campaign started in mid-2019 on the north-east part of the field in order to increase the production of the FPSO (capacity of 100 kb/d) by adding two injector wells and replacing two productive wells, on which integrity problems had been detected. The development of the south-east part of Lapa is expected to start in the first half of 2020, with two productive wells and one injector well.

Exploration & Production segment |
In exploration, TOTAL and its partners Qatar Petroleum and Petronas were awarded Block C-M-541 at the 16th oil auctions of the ANP in October 2019. The block is situated in the Campos pre-salt-bearing basin in ultra deep water. TOTALs 40% interest in the block is expected to decrease to 30% subject to the closing of an ongoing 10% farm-out. In addition, the Group holds 18 exploration licenses located in the Barreirinhas, Ceará, Espirito Santo, Foz do Amazonas and Pelotas basins.
Under the terms of their strategic alliance, TOTAL and Petrobras have signed an agreement to promote the strengthening of technical cooperation between the two companies, in particular by the joint assessment of the exploration potential of promising areas in Brazil and by the development of new technologies, in particular in deep offshore.
TOTAL holds an interest in the Gato de Mato field discovered in 2012. The well GDM#3 drilled in 2019 has confirmed the field extension in the block Gato de Mato South and allows to start development studies.
TOTAL also has interests in the fields undergoing assessment of Wahoo (28.6%) and Itaipu (40%) on the BMC-30 and BMC-32 Blocks, respectively in the Campos basin, following the acquisition of Mærsk Oil in 2018. On December 2019, TOTAL (70%, operator) and his partner informed the regulatory body ANP of their decision to relinquinsh the license containing the Xelerete field.
In Venezuela, the production is sourced from the shareholdings held by the Group in PetroCedeño S.A (30.32%) and in Yucal Placer (69.5%). Following the new international economic sanctions imposed at the start of 2019, the development of the PetroCedeño extra heavy oil field and the debottlenecking project of the water separation and treatment facilities were suspended in 2019 (three wells were drilled in 2019, compared with 26 in 2018 and 49 in 2017). Production on the PetroCedeño field stopped at the end of June 2019 has resumed at the end of November at very low levels. For information on international economic sanctions concerning Venezuela, refer to point 3.2 of chapter 3.
In Suriname, TOTAL acquired in December 2019 a 50% interest and the right to operatorship in the highly prospective Block 58 offshore Suriname.On this offshore block, the discovery made early 2020 by the Maka Central -1 exploration well is now under evaluation and further drilling and testing will be carried out to appraise the resources and productivity of the reservoir. The drilling of a second exploration well, Sapaka West-1 is underway.
In Mexico, TOTAL holds licenses in seven offshore exploration blocks in the Gulf of Mexico: Block 2 (50%, operator) located in the Perdido Basin, Blocks 1 (33.33%) and 3 (33.33%) located in the Salina Basin, Block 15 (60%, operator), as well as Block 32 (50%), Block 33 (50%, operator) and Block 34 (42.5%) located in the shallow waters of the Campeche Basin. TOTAL has informed Mexican authorities of its intention to give back the Block 2.
In Guyana, TOTAL has interests in the Canje Block (35%), the Kanuku Block (25%) and the Orinduik Block (25%) as part of the exploration of the prolific offshore Guyana Basin. In August 2019, TOTAL announced the signing of an agreement entitling Qatar Petroleum to acquire 40% of the company that owns the interests in Orinduik and Kanuku. The finalization of this transaction remains subject to the authorities approval. Two discoveries currently being evaluated were made in 2019 on Orinduik Block.
Rest of the Americas zone
At the end of 2018, TOTAL disposed of its interests in the Aruba exploration license. In French Guiana, the Guyane Maritime license (100%) expired in June 2019. In Colombia, following the stoppage of production on the Nicosta field, in which TOTAL holds a 71.4% interest, the Group decided to withdraw from the production sharing contract.
2.2.2.5 |
Asia-Pacific |
In Thailand, the production of condensates and natural gas comes from the Bongkot (33.33%) offshore gas and condensates field and is all bought by the PTT Thai state company. Several new wells were drilled in 2019 to maintain the production plateau.
In Brunei, production comes from the Maharaja Lela Jamalulalam condensate gas field on Block B (37.5%, operator), whence the gas is supplied to the Brunei LNG liquefaction plant, and from the unitized Gumusut-Kakap field, of which the part in Brunei is located on Block CA1 (86.95%, operator).
In October 2019, TOTAL has signed an agreement to sell its subsidiary (100%), Total E&P Deep Offshore Borneo BV, which holds 86.95% of Block CA1, 100 km offshore of Brunei. The finalization of the transaction is subject to approval by the competent authorities.
In China, production comes from the South Sulige Block (49%) in the Ordos Basin of Inner Mongolia, where the drilling of tight gas development wells is ongoing.
TOTAL holds a 49% interest and is operator of the Taiyang exploration block in the China Sea, situated in both Chinese and Taiwanese waters. Two 2D seismic surveying campaigns were completed in 2018 and 2019.
In Myanmar, the Yadana and Sein fields (31.24%, operator), located on the offshore Blocks M5 and M6, primarily produce gas for delivery to PTT for use in Thai power plants. These fields also supply the domestic market via an offshore pipeline built and operated by MOGE, a Myanmar state-owned company. In 2017, TOTAL started production on the Badamyar field, a satellite of the Yadana field, which is expected to extend the production plateau beyond 2020. The 3D seismic (5,700 km²) acquired on Block M5 in the first quarter of 2019 is currently under study.
On the A6 exploration license (40%), located in deep offshore waters west of Myanmar, and on which a gas discovery has been made, the design studies completed in the second quarter of 2019 confirmed the technical and economic viability of the project. On the YWB deep offshore Block (100%, operator), TOTAL holds an exploration license that has been renewed until August 2020. The studies based on the 2018 3D seismic survey are currently in progress.
In Papua New Guinea, TOTAL holds interests in the PPL339 (35%), PPL589 (100%) and PPL576 (100%) exploration licenses. The interpretation of the multi-client seismic survey performed in late 2016 on PPL576 revealed some promising prospects. The Groups LNG activities in Papua New Guinea are presented in point 2.1.2 of this chapter.
Rest of the Asia-Pacific zone
TOTAL also holds interests in exploration licenses in Malaysia and the Philippines. In Cambodia, TOTAL is working to implement an agreement entered into in 2009 with the Cambodian government for the exploration of Block 3 located in an area of the Gulf of Thailand disputed by the governments of Cambodia and Thailand. This agreement remains subject to the establishment by both countries of an appropriate contractual framework. In Sri Lanka, in 2016 TOTAL signed an agreement to proceed with surveys on the offshore JS-5 and JS-6 Blocks off the east coast. The surveys are underway. A new partner joined the agreement with a 30% interest, reducing TOTALs interest to 70% in August 2019.

Thanks to a significant decrease in capital investments, which peaked in 2013, the Group regained some flexibility for opportunities, including, in particular, the acquisitions of assets in Mozambique, Russia and North Sea, and to launch new projects, taking advantage of the current low level of costs. In order to high grade its portfolio, the Group also performed asset sales in various areas such as notably the North Sea and Africa.
In 2019, the Groups hydrocarbon production was 3,014 kboe/d, an increase of 9% compared to last year, due to:
|
+13% related to the start-up and ramp-up of new projects, including Yamal LNG in Russia, Egina in Nigeria, Ichthys in Australia, Kaombo in Angola, Culzean in the United Kingdom and Johan Sverdrup in Norway; |
|
-3% due to the natural decline of the fields; |
|
-1% due to maintenance, notably in Nigeria, Norway and Tyra redevelopment project in Denmark. |
Since 2018, the Group has launched, or plans to launch, numerous projects with an aggregate production potential that is expected to exceed 800 kboe/d.
All these actions are expected to increase production by more than 5% per year on average for the period 2018-2021, of which 2% to 4% in 2020 compared to 2019, and by more than 3% per year on average for the period 2023-2025.

2.3.1 |
Hydrocarbons reserves |
The definitions used for proved, proved developed and proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves are in accordance with the United States Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 4-10 of Regulation S-X as amended by the SEC Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting release issued on December 31, 2008. Proved reserves are estimated using geological and engineering data to determine with reasonable certainty whether the crude oil or natural gas in known reservoirs is economically producible under existing regulatory, economic and operating conditions.
TOTALs oil and gas reserves are consolidated annually, taking into account among other factors, levels of production, field reassessments, additional reserves from discoveries and extensions, disposal and acquisitions of reserves and other economic factors.
Unless otherwise indicated, any reference to TOTALs proved reserves, proved developed reserves, proved undeveloped reserves and production reflects the Groups entire share of such reserves or such production. TOTALs worldwide proved reserves include the proved reserves of its consolidated entities as well as its proportionate share of the proved reserves of equity affiliates. The reserves estimation process involves making subjective judgments. Consequently, estimates of reserves are not exact measurements and are subject to revision under well-established control procedures.
The reserves booking process requires, among other actions:
|
that an internal peer review of technical evaluations is carried out to ensure that the SEC definitions and guidance are followed; and |
|
that management makes the necessary funding commitments to their development prior to booking. |
For further information concerning the reserves and their evaluation process, refer to points 9.1 and 9.2 of chapter 9.
Proved reserves for 2019, 2018 and 2017
In accordance with the amended Rule 4-10 of Regulation S-X, proved reserves at December 31 are calculated using a 12-month average price determined as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month of the relevant year, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions. The average reference prices for Brent crude for 2019, 2018 and 2017 were, respectively, $62.74/b, $71.43/b and $54.36/b.
As of December 31, 2019, TOTALs combined proved reserves of oil and gas were 12,681 Mboe (67% of which were proved developed reserves). Liquids (crude oil, condensates, natural gas liquids and bitumen) represented approximately 47% of these reserves and natural gas 53%. These reserves were located in Europe and Central Asia (mainly in Kazakhstan, Norway, the United Kingdom and Russia), Africa (mainly in Angola, Mozambique, Nigeria and the Republic of Congo), the Americas
(mainly in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, the United States and Venezuela), the Middle East and North Africa (mainly in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Yemen), and Asia-Pacific (mainly in Australia).
Gas and associated products (condensates and natural gas liquids) represent approximately 59% of the reserves whilst crude oil and bitumen the remaining 41%.
Discoveries of new fields and extensions of existing fields added 1,654 Mboe to TOTALs proved reserves during the three years 2017, 2018 and 2019 before deducting production and sales of reserves and adding any reserves acquired during this period. The net level of reserve revisions during this 3-year period is 1 794 Mboe, which was mainly due to the overall positive revisions in field behaviors and to the net impact of the changes in hydrocarbon prices in 2017 (increase), in 2018 (increase) and in 2019 (decrease) that led either to a decrease or increase in reserves resulting from shorter or longer producing life of certain producing fields and from partial debooking or rebooking of proved undeveloped reserves due to economic reasons, partially offset by reserves increase or decrease on fields with producing sharing or risked service contracts.
As of December 31, 2019, TOTALs combined proved reserves of oil and gas are 12,681 Mboe (8,532 Mboe of which were proved developed reserves) compared to 12,050 Mboe (8,400 Mboe of which were proved developed reserves) as of December 31, 2018.
Reserve sensitivity to hydrocarbon prices
Changes in the price used as a reference for the proved reserves estimation result in non-proportionate inverse changes in proved reserves associated with production sharing and risked service contracts (which together represent approximately 20% of TOTALs reserves as of December 31, 2019). Under such contracts, TOTAL is entitled to a portion of the production, the sale of which is meant to cover expenses incurred by the Group. The more the oil prices decrease, the more the number of barrels necessary to cover the same amount of expenses. Moreover, the number of barrels economically producible under these contracts may vary according to criteria such as cumulative production, the rate of return on investment or the income-cumulative expenses ratio. This increase in reserves is partly offset by a reduction of the duration over which fields are economically producible. However, the effect of a reduction of the duration of production is usually inferior to the impact of the drop in prices in production sharing contracts or risked service contracts. As a result, lower prices usually lead to an increase in TOTALs reserves, and vice versa. In Canada, a decrease in the reference price per barrel leads to a decrease in the level of royalties and, therefore, an increase of the reserves.
Finally, for any type of contract, a significant decrease in the reference price of petroleum products that negatively impacts projects profitability may lead to a reduction in proved reserves, and vice versa.

Exploration |
TOTAL evaluates exploration opportunities based on a variety of geological, technical, political, economic (including tax and contractual terms), environmental and societal factors.
The exploration strategy deployed since 2015 aims to prioritize the most promising drill targets with a view to creating value. The Group plans balanced exploration investments:
|
50% for emerging basins, where the presence of hydrocarbons is already proven; |
|
35% for exploration in mature hydrocarbon plays; and |
|
15% for high-potential frontier basins. |
In 2019, the Groups exploration expenditure was $1.55 billion, mainly in Brazil, Suriname, the United States, the United Kingdom, South Africa, French Guiana, Guyana, Mexico, Cyprus, and Senegal, compared to $1.2 billion in 2018 and in 2017.
2.3.3 |
Hydrocarbon production |
The average daily production of liquids and natural gas was 3,014 kboe/d in 2019 compared to 2,775 kboe/d in 2018 and 2,566 kboe/d in 2017.
Gas and associated products (condensates and natural gas liquids) represented approximately 53% of TOTALs overall production in 2019 compared to 50% in 2018, with crude oil and bitumen represented the remaining 47% in 2019 compared to 50% in 2018.
The tables on the following pages set forth TOTALs annual and average daily production of liquids and natural gas by geographic area and for each of the last three fiscal years.
Consistent with industry practice, TOTAL often holds a percentage interest in its fields with the balance being held by joint-venture partners (which may include other international oil companies, state-owned oil companies or government entities). The Groups entities may frequently act as an operator (the party responsible for technical production) on the acreage in which it holds an interest. For further information, refer to the table on producing assets by geographical zone below.
The Trading & Shipping activity of TOTALs Refining & Chemicals segment marketed in 2019, as in 2018 and 2017, substantially all of the liquids production from TOTAL (refer to table regarding Trading & Shippings crude oil sales and supply and petroleum products sales in point 2.4.2.1 of this chapter).

Delivery commitments |
The majority of TOTALs natural gas production is sold under long-term contracts. However, most of its North American and United Kingdom production, and part of its production from Argentina, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway and Russia, is sold in the spot market.
The long-term contracts under which TOTAL sells its natural gas usually provide for a price related to, among other factors, average crude oil and other petroleum product prices, as well as, in some cases, a cost-of-living index. Though the price of natural gas tends to fluctuate in line with crude oil prices, a slight delay may occur before changes in crude oil prices are reflected in long-term natural gas prices.
Some of TOTALs long-term contracts, such as in Bolivia, Nigeria, Norway, Thailand and Qatar, specify the delivery of quantities of natural gas that may or may not be fixed and determinable. Such delivery commitments vary substantially, both in duration and scope, from contract to contract throughout the world. For example, in some cases, contracts require delivery of natural gas on an as-needed basis, and, in other cases, contracts call for the delivery of varied amounts of natural gas over different periods of time. Nevertheless, TOTAL estimates the fixed and determinable quantity of gas to be delivered over the period 2020-2022 to be 5,525 Bcf. The Group expects to satisfy most of these obligations through the production of its proved reserves of natural gas, with, if needed, additional sourcing from spot market purchases (refer to points 9.1 and 9.2 of chapter 9).

2.3.5 |
Contractual framework of Upstream hydrocarbons production activities |
Licenses, permits and contracts governing the Group entities ownership of oil and gas interests have terms that vary from country to country and are generally granted by or entered into with a government entity or a state-owned company or sometimes with private owners. These agreements usually take the form of concessions or production-sharing contracts.
In the framework of oil concession agreements, the oil company (or consortium) owns the assets and the facilities and is entitled to the entire production. In exchange, the operating risks, costs and investments are the oil companys or the consortiums responsibility and it agrees to remit to the relevant host country, usually the owner of the subsoil resources, a production-based royalty, income tax, and possibly other taxes that may apply under local tax legislation.
The production sharing contract (PSC) involves a more complex legal framework than the concession agreement. It defines the terms and conditions of production sharing and sets the rules governing the cooperation between the company (the contractor) or consortium (the contracting group) in possession of the license and the host country, which is generally represented by a state-owned company. The latter can thus be involved in operating decisions, cost accounting and production allocation. The contractor (or contractor group) undertakes the execution and financing, at its own risk, of all exploration, development or operational activities. In exchange, it is entitled to a portion of the production, known as cost oil, the sale of which is intended to cover its incurred expenses (capital and operating costs). The balance of production, known as profit oil, is then shared in varying proportions, between the contractor (or the contracting group), on the one hand, and the host country or state-owned company, on the other hand.
Today, concession agreements and PSCs can coexist, sometimes in the same country. Even though there are other contractual models, TOTALs license portfolio is comprised mainly of concession agreements.
On most licenses, the partners and authorities of the host country, often assisted by international accounting firms, perform joint- venture and PSC cost audits and ensure the observance of contractual obligations.
In some countries, TOTAL has also signed contracts called risked service contracts, which are similar to PSCs. However, the profit oil is replaced by a defined or determinable cash monetary remuneration, agreed by contract, which depends notably on field performance parameters such as the amount of barrels produced.
Oil and gas exploration and production activities are subject to authorization granted by public authorities (licenses), which are granted for specific and limited periods of time and include an obligation to relinquish a large portion, or the entire portion in case of failure, of the area covered by the license at the end of the exploration period.
TOTAL pays taxes on income generated from its oil and gas production and sales activities under its concessions, PSCs and risked service contracts, as provided for by local regulations. In addition, depending on the country, TOTALs production and sales activities may be subject to a number of other taxes, fees and withholdings, including special petroleum taxes and fees. The taxes imposed on oil and gas production and sales activities are generally substantially higher than those imposed on other industrial or commercial businesses.

Refining & Chemicals |
Refining & Chemicals activities include includes refining (including the production of biofuels), base petrochemicals (olefins and aromatics), polymer derivatives (polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene and hydrocarbon resins), biomass conversion and elastomer processing (Hutchinson)(1). The volume of its Refining & Chemicals activities places TOTAL among the top 10 integrated producers worldwide(2).
Refining & Chemicals strategy integrates a constant requirement for safety, core value of the Group, and the priority given to the management of its environmental footprint. In a context of increasing worldwide demand for oil and petrochemicals driven by non-OECD countries and the entry of new capacities into the market, the strategy involves:
|
improving competitiveness of refining and petrochemicals activities by making optimal use of production assets and concentrating investments on the large integrated platforms; |
|
developing petrochemicals, mainly in the United States and the Middle East, by exploiting the proximity of cost-effective oil and gas resources in order to supply growing markets, particularly in Asia; and |
|
innovating in low carbon activities by developing biofuels, biopolymers and plastics recycling solutions as well as materials contributing to the energy efficiency of the Groups customers, particularly in the automotive market. |
2.4.1.1 |
Refining and petrochemicals |
TOTAL has equity stakes in 17 refineries (out of which nine are operated by companies of the Group), located in Europe, the Middle East, the United States, Asia and Africa. As of December 31, 2019, TOTALs refining capacity was 1,959 kb/d compared to 2,021 kb/d at year-end 2018, same as at year-end 2017. The Refining & Chemicals segment managed a refining capacity of 1,942 kb/d at year-end 2019, or 99% of the Groups total capacity(3).
The petrochemicals businesses are located in Europe, United States, Qatar, South Korea and Saudi Arabia. Most of these sites are either adjacent to or connected by pipelines to Group refineries. As a result, TOTALs petrochemical operations are integrated within its refining operations, thereby maximizing synergies.
Between 2011 and 2016, the Group reduced its production capacities in Europe by 20%, thereby fully meeting its initial target. Since then, the major investment project launched in 2013 on the Antwerp platform in Belgium was completed in 2017, improving the sites conversion rate and increasing the flexibility of the steam crackers.
The start-up of the La Mède biorefinery mid-2019 achieved the conversion of the former hydrocarbons refinery into a platform focusing on new energies.
Activities by geographical area
Europe
TOTAL is the second largest refiner and the second largest petrochemist in Western Europe(4).
Western Europe accounts for 73% of the Groups refining capacity, i.e., 1,437 kb/d at year-end 2019, same as at year-end 2018 compared to 1,454 kb/d at year-end 2017.
In Western Europe, the Group operates seven refineries (one in Belgium in Antwerp, four in France in Donges, Feyzin, Gonfreville and Grandpuits, one in the United Kingdom in Immingham and one in Germany in Leuna) . and one biorefinery in France in La Mède and owns a 55% stake in the Zeeland refinery in the Netherlands in Vlissingen. In 2018, the Group sold its stake in TotalErg, which held a stake in the Trecate refinery in Italy.
The Groups main petrochemical sites in Europe are located in Belgium in Antwerp (steam crackers, aromatics, polyethylene) and Feluy (polyolefins, polystyrene), and in France, in Carling (polyethylene, polystyrene, polypropylene compounds), Feyzin (steam cracker, aromatics), Gonfreville (steam crackers, aromatics, styrene, polyolefins, polystyrene) and Lavéra (steam cracker, aromatics, polypropylene). Europe accounts for 48% of the Groups petrochemicals capacity, i.e., 10,203 kt at year-end 2019, compared to 10,277 kt at year-end 2018 and 10,293 kt at year-end 2017.
|
In France, the Group continues to improve its operational efficiency in a context of stagnation in the consumption of petroleum products in Europe. |
In 2019, TOTAL continued modernizing its refining activity in France, in particular at La Mède, with an investment decision made in 2015 for around 275 million to transform the site into the first biorefinery in France. The start-up of the biorefinery mid-2019, with a production capacity of 500 kt/y, marked the completion of the industrial conversion project of La Mède, in which helps address the growing demand for biofuels in Europe. The conversion of the site, which contributes to maintain local industrial activities, also includes a logistics and storage platform, a solar energy farm and a training center, that have been developed on the site since 2017, plus an AdBlue(5) production unit, which started up in August 2018.
In 2019, TOTAL and Ecoslops SA founded Ecoslops Provence, a joint-venture in which TOTAL holds a 25% shareholding that is currently building a unit to regenerate hydrocarbon residues from maritime transport on the La Mède platform. This joint-venture is part of the development of the circular economy and uses an innovative technology to produce fuel and light bitumen from oil residues.
In May 2019, in Donges, the various stakeholders (TOTAL, the French State and local authorities) entered into an agreement to finance the works to divert the railway that crosses the site. The study of the investment project for the construction of intermediate feedstock desulfurization units and hydrogen production units is continuing. This investment project amounts to 400 million.
In petrochemicals, the Group reconfigured the Carling platform in Lorraine. Since the shutdown of the steam cracking activity in 2015, new hydrocarbon resins and compound polypropylene production units have been in activity.

Refining & Chemicals segment |
|
In Belgium, the Group finalized a major project in 2017 to modernize its Antwerp platform with new conversion units in response to the shift in demand towards lighter petroleum products with a very low sulfur content, and a new unit to convert part of the combustible gases recovered from the refining process into raw materials for the petrochemical units. In addition, the Group has developed a project to enable greater flexibility on one of the steam-cracking units and has thus been processing ethane since 2017. |
|
In Germany, TOTAL operates the Leuna refinery (100%), where a new benzene extraction unit (approximately 60 kt/y) has been in service since late 2017. |
|
In the United Kingdom, TOTAL operates the Lindsey refinery, with a capacity of 5.5 Mt/y. |
North America
The Groups main sites in North America are located in Texas, at Port Arthur (refinery, steam cracker), Bayport (polyethylene), La Porte (polypropylene) and in Louisiana, at Carville (styrene, polystyrene).
At Port Arthur, TOTAL holds at the same site a 100% interest in a 178 kb/d capacity refinery and a 40% shareholding in BASF Total Petrochemicals (BTP), the main assets of which being a condensate splitter and a steam cracker. The Group continues to work on strengthening the synergies between these two plants. The BTP cracker has a production capacity of more than 1 Mt/y of ethylene, of which more than 85% is from ethane, propane and butane, which are produced in abundance locally.
At La Porte, TOTAL holds a 100% interest in a large polypropylene plant, with a capacity of 1.2 Mt/y.
At Carville, TOTAL operates a styrene plant with a capacity of 1.2 Mt/y, in a 50% joint-venture with SABIC and a polystyrene unit with a capacity of 600 kt/y, which is 100% owned.
Finally, the joint-venture between TOTAL (50%) and Novealis, itself a 50/50 joint-venture between Borealis and Nova Chemicals, continued on the Port Arthur site the construction of a new ethane cracker with an ethylene production capacity of 1 Mt/y for an investment of $1.7 billion. The commissioning of this new cracker is expected to take place in 2021. The joint-venture also started the construction of a new polyethylene unit downstream of the cracker. This integrated development will more than double the sites polyethylene production capacity to about 1 Mt/y and thus maximize synergies with the existing assets at Port Arthur and Bayport.
Asia, the Middle East and Africa
The Group holds interests in first-rate platforms that are ideally positioned, with easier access to feedstock under competitive conditions, enabling its continuous development in order to supply growing areas.
In Saudi Arabia, TOTAL has a 37.5% shareholding in SATORP (Saudi Aramco Total Refining and Petrochemical Company) which operates the Jubail refinery. This refinery, located close to Saudi Arabias heavy crude oil fields, increased its capacity by 10% at the beginning of 2018
to 440 kb/d. The refinerys configuration enables it to process heavy crudes and produce fuels and other light products that meet very strict specifications and are mainly intended for export. The refinery is also integrated with petrochemical units: a 800 kt/y paraxylene unit, a 200 kt/y propylene unit, and a 140 kt/y benzene unit. In addition, TOTAL and Saudi Aramco signed in 2018 an agreement to jointly develop the engineering studies for the construction of a petrochemicals complex adjacent to the refinery. This world class project will include a mixed- load steam cracker (50% ethane and refinery gases) with a capacity of 1.5 Mt/y and polyethylene units with a capacity of 1 Mt/y, for a total investment of about $5.5 billion.
In South Korea, TOTAL has a 50% stake in Hanwha Total Petrochemical Co. (HTC), which operates a petrochemical complex in Daesan (condensate splitter, steam cracker, styrene, paraxylene, polyolefins). Investments totaling $750 million, decided in 2017, have increased the ethylene production capacity by 30% in 2019 and the polyethylene production capacity by more than 50% in 2020. At the end of 2018, TOTAL decided to make an additional investment of $500 million that will increase the polypropylene production capacity by nearly 60% by 2021 to reach 1.1 Mt/y, and increase the ethylene production capacity by 10% to reach 1.5 Mt/y.
In Qatar, the Group holds interests(1) in two ethane-based steam crackers (Qapco, Ras Laffan Olefin Cracker-RLOC) and four polyethylene lines operated by Qapco in Messaied, including a linear low-density polyethylene plant with a capacity of 550 kt/y (Qatofin) and a 300 kt/y low-density polyethylene line (Qapco). TOTAL also holds a 10% interest in the Ras Laffan condensates refinery, with a total capacity of 300 kb/d.
In China, during the second quarter 2019, TOTAL completed the sale to Petrochina of its 22.4% shareholding in WEPEC, a company operating a refinery located in Dalian. As part of its dynamic asset portfolio management policy, the Group also sold in the first quarter of 2019 its polystyrene activity in China, which included two plants in Foshan and Ningbo in the Shanghai region, each with a capacity of 200 kt/y.
In the United Arab Emirates, TOTAL sold in 2018 the 33.3% shareholding that it held in ADNOC Fertilizers, which operates a plant producing 2 Mt/y of urea in Ruwais.
In Algeria, in October 2018, the Group signed a shareholders agreement to create the STEP joint-venture (Sonatrach Total Entreprise de Polymères, in which Sonatrach holds 51% and TOTAL 49%) to implement a petrochemical project in Arzew, in western Algeria. This project includes the construction of a propane dehydrogenation plant and a polypropylene production unit with a capacity of 550 kt/y. The joint-venture was created in January 2019.
In the rest of Africa, the Group also has interests in four refineries (South Africa, Cameroon, Côte dIvoire and Senegal). Refining & Chemicals provides technical assistance for two of these refineries: the Natref refinery with a capacity of 109 kb/d in South Africa and the SIR refinery with a capacity of 80 kb/d in Côte dIvoire.

Developing new ways to produce fuels and polymers
TOTAL is exploring new ways to valorize conventional and non-conventional carbon resources (natural gas, biomass, waste). These projects are part of the Groups commitment to building a diversified energy mix generating lower CO2 emissions.
Regarding biomass valorization, TOTAL is pursuing several industrial and exploratory projects. The scope of these developments is broad since they entail defining access to the resource (nature, sustainability, location, supply method, transport), the nature of the molecules and target markets (fuels, petrochemicals, specialty chemicals) as well as the most appropriate, efficient and environment friendly conversion processes.
Biomass to fuels
In Europe, TOTAL produces biofuels, notably hydrotreated vegetable oils (HVO) for incorporation into diesel, and ether produced from ethanol and isobutene (ETBE) for incorporation into gasoline.
As part of the La Mède refinery conversion program, the Group started up the first biorefinery in France in mid-2019, with a production capacity of 500 kt/y of biofuels, mainly high-quality HVO type biodiesel, but also biojet fuel and petrochemical bio-feedstocks.
TOTAL continued extensive research activity in 2019, which targeted the emergence of new solutions in the field of biofuels. The BioTFuel consortiums construction of a pilot demonstration unit on the Dunkerque (France) site led to the commencement in 2017 of a gasification test program for synthesis of biomass into fungible, sulfur-free fuels.
Biomass to polymers
TOTAL is actively involved in developing activities associated with the conversion of biomass to polymers. The main area of focus is developing drop-in solutions for direct substitutions, by incorporating biomass into the Groups existing units, for example HVO or other hydrotreated vegetable oil co-products in a naphtha cracker and developing the production of new molecules such as polylactic acid polymer (PLA) from sugar. In 2017, the Group thus set up a joint-venture with Corbion for the production and marketing of PLA from a site in Thailand containing existing lactide units and PLA units, which started in December 2018 and have a production capacity of 75 kt/y.
Biotechnologies and the conversion of biomass
TOTAL is exploring various opportunities for promoting biomass and has launched numerous collaborative R&D projects for the development of bio-sourced molecules with several academic partners (the Joint BioEnergy Institute, United States, the University of Wageningen, Netherlands and the Toulouse White Biotechnology consortium, France) or through its Novogy subsidiary (Massachusetts, United States). In addition, TOTAL holds an interest in Amyris Inc.(1), an American company listed on NASDAQ.
On its R&D platform in Solaize (France), TOTAL develops new biocomponents derived from the transformation of the biomass by using a methodology based on predictive modeling and chemical conversion into high added-value biomolecules.
In the longer term, the Group is also studying the potential for developing a cost-effective phototrophic process for producing biofuels through bioengineering of microalgae and microalgae cultivation methods. It has several European partners in this field (CEA, Wageningen).
Plastics recycling and circular economy
TOTAL is deeply committed to developing recycling in order to address the issue of end-of-life of plastics. In addition, TOTAL has the ambition to produce 30% of its polymers from recycled materials by 2030.
TOTAL is a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, which brings together approximately 40 companies in the plastics and consumer goods value chain. Those companies committed to spend more than $1 billion, with the target of reaching $1.5 billion in five years, to help end plastic waste in the environment, especially in oceans, and to promote recycling solutions of used plastics by supporting a circular economy approach.
In France, TOTAL, Saint-Gobain, the eco-organization Citeo and the French fresh dairy producers union Syndifrais have founded a partnership to conduct a feasibility study that aims to incorporate collected polystyrene in the Groups plastics production units in Carling and Feluy.

Regarding mechanical recycling, in February 2019, TOTAL acquired the French company Synova, a leader in the production of recycled polypropylene that meets the high-quality standards of automotive equipment manufacturers and carmakers. The current production capacity of 20 kt/y of polypropylene made from recycled plastics, sourced from the collection and sorting of industrial and post-consumer waste, will be doubled by 2021, addressing the growing market demand for high-performance recycled materials.
TOTAL is also assessing the development of industrial value chains in order to build a chemical recycling economic model, in synergy with its refining and petrochemicals activities. Chemical recycling addresses the issues of the circular economy, and in particular the use of plastics in applications related to food. TOTAL notably announced the creation of a consortium with leading actors in the packaging value chain (Citeo, Recycling Technologies, a provider of plastic recycling technologies, food industry leaders Mars and Nestlé) to study the technical and economic feasibility of recycling complex waste, such as small flexible and multilayered food-grade packaging.

Products and services development |
The Group develops technologically advanced products, some of which are formulated for use in motor sport competition before being generally released on the market, and continues its technical partnerships. The Group is notably associated with the PSA group, with which a cooperation agreement was renewed in late 2016 relating to R&D, business relations with the PSA brands (Peugeot, Citroën, DS) and automobile racing. In 2019, TOTAL continued to supply DS Performance with lubricants specifically developed for the Formula E(1) championship. In addition, in 2018, TOTAL became the official supplier of fuel for various endurance racing championships(2), including the Le Mans 24 Hours, for five years. In 2019, this partnership was extended to include the supply of hydrogen to support the development of a hydrogen-powered endurance car for a category dedicated to the Le Mans 24 Hours race in 2024. These partnerships demonstrate TOTALs technical excellence in the formulation of fuels and lubricants under extreme conditions, subject to requirements to reduce fuel consumption, for the engines of the future.
TOTAL is accelerating its digital innovation strategy in order to develop new offerings for its customers and improve operational efficiency. In Europe, M&S is developing a digital solution that allows drivers to pay for their fuel directly from a connected car, and the TOTAL eWallet mobile payment solution, for its professional customers in Germany as well as for its customers in Belgium. In Africa, TOTAL is continuing to develop new electronic payment solutions that will enable it to extend its money transfer and smartphone payment services. In addition, the ongoing deployment of Customer Relationship Management enables big data to be used to develop customer relationships more efficiently. Thus, more than 8 million customers in 13 countries can receive personalized offers from the Group.
The Group is also continuing to carry out research of and launch IoT(3) applications for logistics, maintenance and safety. Transporter customers can thus use a new service to geolocate their trailers.
TOTAL offers online domestic heating oil orders in France via the fioulmarket.fr website, as well as its online platform Bitume Online for fixed-price bitumen purchases aimed at its professional customers.
In order to address the world markets developments and prepare for tomorrows growth opportunities, TOTAL develops products and services in collaboration with its customers, that optimize their energy consumption, such as the products under the Total Ecosolutions label, which include Total Excellium fuels and Fuel Economy lubricants. These products and services include a diversified range of energy supplies (fuels, gas, solar and wood pellets) as well as consumption auditing, monitoring and management services, particularly through innovative digital platforms for industrial customers, such as the Optimizer solution, developed for customers in mining, construction and agriculture.
For the longer term, TOTAL intends to expand into alternatives to traditional fuels and already has comprehensive commercial offerings in this area:
|
Natural gas for land transportation: At year-end 2019, TOTAL has more than 190 stations(4) supplying NGV in Asia, Africa, the United States and Europe to private and professional customers. TOTAL is deploying new NGV stations in Europe in its TOTAL- and AS24-branded stations, with a target of 500 stations in 2025. The |
Group intends to accelerate the development of this network to quickly establish coverage that meets its customers expectations, and will initially target the freight transportation segment on its key European markets (Germany, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands). TOTAL has a network of more than 180 stations in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and France. In addition, Clean Energy Fuels Corp., the leading supplier of natural gas fuel for the transport sector in North America, has developed an innovative leasing program. This program enables transport companies to acquire NGV heavy goods vehicles at no extra cost, compared to diesel. This program entitles transport operators to benefit from natural gas fuel prices lower than the price of diesel fuel. TOTAL is supporting the energy transition and the reduction of its customers carbon footprint by proposing a bio-NGV offer, with an incorporation rate adapted to the consumers needs. |
|
Electro-mobility: The acquisition of G2Mobility, renamed Total EV Charge, now enables the Group to offer optimized electric charging solutions to its customers. At the end of 2019, TOTAL was already operating a number of charging points close to 16,000 in Europe for public authorities and professional customers, in order to provide charging service to all types of customers. The Group plans to operate more than 150,000 charging points in Europe by 2025. TOTAL also launched in 2019 the equipment of its stations with ultra-fast chargers on major highways, this deployment will continue in the coming years, with the ambition of ensuring a network in Western Europe with a network of charging points operated every 150 km. TOTAL has more than 100 service stations with charging points in Germany, Benelux and France at end of 2019 (including 11 operated). |
|
Hydrogen: TOTAL continues to rollout hydrogen stations under the H2 Mobility Germany joint-venture. This partnership was created in 2015 with Air Liquide, Daimler, Linde, OMV and Shell, to build a network in Germany. The joint-venture had close to 80 stations in 2019, of which about one quarter are based on the Group branded service stations network. TOTAL closely monitors rail developments: hydrogen is indeed an appropriate zero-emissions alternative, and TOTAL wants to support the French railroad operator (SNCF) in its plans that aim to renew its fleet and to gradually use hydrogen. |
|
Natural gas for shipping: In order to meet the new emission standards for marine fuels that came into effect on January 1, 2020, TOTAL is supporting its customers through this transition with its subsidiary Total Marine Fuels Global Solutions (TMFGS), which offers a diversified range of marine fuels and associated services. Consequently, the Group reorients its product portfolio with fuels with a sulfur content below 0.5% and LNG. |
Regarding the development of low-sulfur fuels, TMFGS has worked closely with the Groups Refining & Chemicals and Trading & Shipping activities to develop fuels that comply with the new regulations, in order to be in a position to meet the needs of its customers in the main hubs where TMFGS already operates. Finally, TOTAL entered into an agreement with the public Chinese company Zhejiang Energy Group (ZEG) to set up a joint-venture in the Zhoushan region of China, dedicated to the procurement and supply of low-sulfur fuels for shipping. |

In the Refining & Chemicals segment, organic investments were made, on the one hand, in the safety and maintenance of facilities, and, on the other hand, in projects aimed at improving the competitiveness of plants. In 2019, the Group completed the transformation of the French refinery at La Mède into a biorefinery that came into service in July 2019. In addition, further significant investments were made in the development of petrochemical activities in Texas (United States) as part of a joint-venture with Borealis and Nova, and in a project to increase the capacity of the Daesan integrated platform in South Korea.
In the Marketing & Services segment, organic investments in 2019 mainly concerned retail networks in growing regions in Africa, Asia, and the Americas, logistics and specialty products production and storage facilities.
The Groups acquisitions completed in 2019 amounted to around $6.0 billion, compared to $8.3 billion in 2018 and $1.5 billion in 2017.
In 2019, the Group notably signed an agreement with Occidental Petroleum Corporation to acquire Anadarkos assets in Africa, thus
preparing for the future and capitalizing on its strengths. The acquisition of Anadarkos shareholding in Mozambique LNG, which was finalized in September 2019, together with the purchase of a 10% interest in Arctic LNG 2 project in Russia in the first quarter of 2019, strengthened the Groups position in LNG. In addition, the Group continued to expand in the North Sea in 2019 with the purchase of Chevrons shareholding in the Danish Underground Consortium in Denmark, where it is already the operator.
TOTAL pursued the dynamic management of its portfolio and finalized divestments amounting to $1.9 billion. This finalized divestment amount is particularly linked to the payment received on the takeover of Toshibas LNG portfolio in the United States, and the sale of the interests in the Wepec refinery in China, the Hazira terminal in India, and the polystyrene activity in China.
Net investments were thus $17.4 billion in 2019 compared to $15.6 billion in 2018 and $11.6 billion in 2017.
2.6.2 |
Major planned investments |
The Group anticipates that its net investments will be between $16 billion and $18 billion per year between 2019 and 2023, a range ensuring the profitable future growth of the Group. In February 2020, the Group announced that the investment amount for 2020 is expected to be on the order of$18 billion, and the Group will complete its 5 B$ asset sale program over the years 2019-20 (~3 B$ already announced). The Group has flexibility on its 2020 investment programs since almost 20% of the upstream CAPEX are short cycle capex, i.e., short term arbitrable.
Investments in the Exploration & Production segment are expected to mainly be in the major ongoing development projects for which the final investment decision has already been made (Iara 2 and Libra 1 & 2 in Brazil, Johan Sverdrup 2 in Norway, Absheron in Azerbaijan, Zinia 2 in Angola, and Ikike in Nigeria). The Group expects to launch more than 10 major projects in the coming years. In addition, a portion of the investments is expected to be allocated to assets already in production, in particular for maintenance capital expenditures and in-fill wells.
Investments in the Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power segment are expected to be particularly dedicated to the trains of major LNG plants under construction for which the final investment decision has already been made (Cameron LNG train 3 in the United States, Yamal LNG train 4 and Arctic LNG 2 in Russia, and Mozambique LNG in Mozambique). The Group expects to launch around 5 major LNG projects in the coming years. The Group enters the gas and renewables market in India and continues to invest in low-carbon electricity: it has notably signed an agreement with EPH to acquire in 2020 the two gas power plants
from Uniper Frances portfolio, and it will pursue its development in the generation of electricity from renewable energies with notably the construction of a giant 800 MW solar power plant in Qatar. Finally, in June 2019 the Group created a new entity, Total Nature Based Solutions (NBS), dedicated to investments in nature-based carbon sinks. TOTAL wishes to invest $100 million per year in the entity as of 2020.
In the Refining & Chemicals segment, and in line with its growth strategy in petrochemicals, the Group expects to continue its investments to develop its petrochemicals activities in Texas in the United States, as part of a joint-venture with Borealis and Nova,and increase its petrochemicals capacities on the Daesan integrated platform in South Korea. In addition, the Group has launched a major cooperation project with Saudi Aramco in Saudi Arabia,and announced the signature of a shareholders agreement with Sonatrach to build a petrochemicals complex in Arzew, Algeria. A significant portion of the segments investment budget will also be allocated to safety and maintenance of the Groups facilities.
In the Marketing & Services segment, investments are expected to be allocated in particular to the service station network, logistics, and production and storage facilities of specialty products, particularly lubricants. Most of the segments investment budget will be allocated to growing regions, notably Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas.
2.6.3 |
Financing mechanisms |
TOTAL self-finances most of its investments with cash flow from operating activities and may occasionally access the bond market when financial market conditions are favorable. Certain subsidiaries or certain specific projects may be financed through external financing, notably in the case of joint-ventures. This is the case, for example, for Ichthys LNG in Australia, of Satorp in Saudi Arabia, of Yamal LNG in Russia, of Cameron LNG in the United States or Hanwha Total Petrochemical in South Korea.
As part of certain project financing arrangements, TOTAL S.A. has provided guarantees. These guarantees (Guarantees given on borrowings) as well as other information on the Groups off-balance sheet commitments and contractual obligations appear in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements (refer to point 8.7 of chapter 8). The Group believes that neither these guarantees nor the other off-balance sheet commitments of TOTAL S.A. or of any other Group company have, or could reasonably have in the future, a material effect on the Groups financial position, income and expenses, liquidity, investments or financial resources.

Research & Development |
In 2019, the Group invested $968 million in Research & Development (R&D), compared to $986 million in 2018 and $912 million in 2017. There were 4,339 people dedicated to R&D activities in 2019 compared to 4,288 in 2018 and 4,132 in 2017.
TOTAL invested $1.1 billion to prepare for the future, this includes the entire Research & Development (R&D) effort, as well as developments in the fields of digital, technology and the investments funded by Total Carbon Neutrality Ventures (TOTALs venture capital fund entirely dedicated to carbon neutrality activities is expected to have invested a total of $400 million by 2023).
As part of the Groups ambition to become the responsible energy major, in 2019 TOTAL R&D finalized its strategic plan to determine its positioning for the next five years, together with its research programs portfolio. The Groups R&D is based around five focus areas that aim to address both the specific challenges of each segment and the Groups transverse challenges:
|
Safety and environment; |
|
Low-carbon mix; |
|
Operational efficiency; |
|
New products; |
|
Digital. |
The R&D programs have been operational since early 2020; as appropriate, they may be conducted by a business segment in the interests of its own or other segments activities, or coordinated at a Group level for transverse issues in order to establish synergies, make the best possible use of the expertise available, and mutualize knowledge and infrastructures.
Meanwhile, an anticipation program is carried out by forward-looking projects that aim to assess the potential for the Groups business segments of new technologies, such as nanotechnology, robotics, hydrogen, and the mobility of the future.
The Group is investing in the preparation of its future in open innovation by calling on its talents, its research infrastructures, its pilot sites and its international research centers, as well as on start-ups and top-level academic partners. Consequently, the Group has 18 R&D centers worldwide and approximately 1,000 agreements with its partners.
In 2019, three important framework agreements enabling the development of partnership R&D projects were signed with:
|
the IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN) for a period of five years, relating to carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) in order to reduce the cost of infrastructures and improve the CCUS chains energy efficiency to secure its large-scale deployment. A chair has also been endowed at the IFP School to train a new generation of international researchers and experts who will develop technologies to reduce carbon in the atmosphere; |
|
the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) for a period of five years, in order to develop joint R&D programs in the field of low-carbon energy in particular. A first project is under way on microalgae with the aim of converting CO into beneficial products such as biofuels; |
|
the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), to renew scientific collaboration for a four-year period in order to continue with a number of cooperation agreements, particularly in organic chemistry and thin-film photovoltaic technologies. |
Additionally, the Group implements an active industrial property policy to protect its innovations, and to maximize their use and technological differentiation. In 2019, the Group filed more than 200 patent applications.
2.7.1 |
Safety and Environment |
The R&D programs developed around safety and environment are aimed at reducing risks and accidents, mitigating lifecycle impact of the Groups activities and products, developing the circular economy, recycling and frugal use of resources:
|
the Sustainable Development program aims to bring together the interdependent issues of safety, climate, biodiversity and society, with the environment as a common denominator. The emphasis is on measuring methane leaks, and in 2019 industrial pilot schemes enabled real-life testing of the technologies selected during test campaigns on the Lacq platform as part of the TADI (Total Anomalies Detection Initiatives) project. Innovation efforts relate to monitoring technologies and, in particular to breakthrough approaches to learning about biodiversity in the areas where the Group operates; |
|
the Plastics Ecodesign and Recycling program reflects the Groups desire, as a major player in the plastics chain, to contribute to growing the circular economy and developing a competitive, sustainable plastics recycling chain. R&D efforts are implemented both upstream, with ecodesign of polymers in order to facilitate recycling, and downstream, by developing recycling methods in the three channels of mechanical recycling, chemical recycling and organic recycling. The work carried out in 2019 furthered developments in |
demonstrating the recyclability of polystyrene, with successful pilot and industrial tests showing that the recyclates can be purified. New areas for development have been opened up to help to improve the level of incorporation of recycled polymers and the applications accessible. Finally, the Group undertook a number of preliminary studies with players in the plastics recycling chain to launch timely collaborative work in the field of chemical recycling. The main priority in this area is recycling plastic waste through pyrolytic conversion. TOTAL aims to be able to sell 30% of its polymers out of recycled feedstocks by 2030; |
|
the Product Ecodesign and Recycling program consists of incorporating a sustainable approach right from the start of development of new products in order to reduce their environmental footprint. This program notably aims at assessing opportunities to integrate low carbon footprint components into the Groups formulations while improving the recyclability of used products. |
|
the Site end-of-life management program aims to optimize the management and minimize the environmental impact and cost of end-of-life oil and gas fields. The program evaluates new solutions such as converting offshore oil platforms into artificial reefs, CO reinjection sites, or renewable energy production sites. |

2.7.2 |
Low-carbon mix |
The R&D programs developed around the low-carbon mix aim to reduce the carbon intensity of energy by developing the entire gas and LNG value chain, renewable and alternative energies, storage, energy management systems, carbon capture, utilization and storage, energy efficiency, biofuels and fluids for carbon-neutral mobility:
|
the Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) program covers the Northern Lights carbon transport and storage project, with a capacity of approximately 1.5 Mt/y, which is taking place in Norway alongside Shell and Equinor, and the Groups involvement in the preliminary stages of new projects, including two in the United Kingdom and one in the Netherlands. TOTAL also contributes to projects in the United States developed by the National Carbon Capture Center (NCCC) relating to carbon capture technologies. |
In addition, the Group is involved in the 3D (DMXTM Demonstration in Dunkirk) project in Dunkirk, France, alongside ArcelorMittal, IFPEN, Axens and seven other European partners. The work is focused on an innovative carbon capture process on an industrial pilot (0.5 tCO2 /h) that will be built on the ArcelorMittal steelworks site, preparing the implementation 2 of a carbon capture/storage demonstration unit that could be operational by 2025 and should be able to capture more than 1 Mt/y, from packing and transportation infrastructures for storage in the North Sea, and designing the future European Dunkirk North Sea capture and storage cluster (with a capacity of 10 MtCO2/y), which should be operational in 2035.
TOTAL has also initiated a pilot project in Germany for converting CO2 from the Leuna refinery and hydrogen into methanol. The hydrogen 2 will be produced by the most powerful high-temperature electrolyzer in the world, developed by start-up Sunfire. The Groups venture capital fund, Total Carbon Neutrality Ventures, has been a shareholder of Sunfire since 2014.
Overall, the Group is involved in more than 80 research projects in this field with world-renowned laboratories;
|
in addition to reducing gas production and processing costs, the Gas value chain program places particular emphasis on reducing the carbon footprint of the gas chain. This program is based not only on improving energy efficiency along the entire chain and developing new ways to valorize the gas with a smaller carbon footprint, but also on using renewable energies and incorporating low-carbon inputs such as biomethane. The work carried out with partners GTC/ SULZER and UOP on converting methane into olefins is based on the same principles; |
|
the goal of the Electric and gas mobility program is to develop products tailored to these new types of power train. For vehicles with a gas or electric hybrid engine, the operating conditions of these combustion engines are different from those of engines of vehicles with 100% internal combustion, gasoline or diesel; which justifies developing new fluid lubricants (fuels, lubricants,) adapted to these new engine operating ranges; |
|
the Biofuels and bioproducts program aims to further the Refining & Chemicals segments research efforts in the field of bio sourced products in order to reduce the carbon footprint of the Groups products and facilities. The work relates to developing increasingly sustainable biofuels by focusing on utilizing raw materials seen as waste and developing expertise in oleaginous waste and methods for |
converting it into biodiesel. The Group is preparing for next-generation solutions by developing its own strains and algae cultivation methods in order to produce fuels from CO2 and without the need for arable land. Alongside this, research continues into overcoming the technical challenges of utilizing lignocellulosic biomass, which is very unyielding by nature, including through the BioTfuels gasification pilot, which the Group started operating in 2019. R&D efforts also relate to the production of sustainable, bio sourced polymers, i.e. that can be recycled or are fully biodegradable, including in marine conditions, which are the most difficult;

|
the goal of the New exploration concepts program is to identify geological concepts that will enable the potential of proved basins to be reassessed and new potential basins for oil and gas exploration to be envisaged. The researchers are using their expertise to develop a clearer understanding of the deposition, transformation and filling of deep offshore carbonate reservoirs, for example in Brazil; |
|
the Planet imaging program aims to develop remote detection, airborne multi-physics acquisition systems for the real-time imaging of steep margins, and new-generation algorithms. From the acquisition |
to the processing of data, this program innovates along the entire geophysical exploration chain to produce high-added value 3D ultrasound images of the subsoil more quickly and at a reduced cost; |
|
the actions of the Field reservoir program focus on our understanding of the physico-chemical phenomena in reservoirs, from pores to fields, and on the integration of all the available data. The development of a new generation of reservoir modeling tools, the continual improvement of reservoir simulation tools and the development of low-cost enhanced recovery techniques are the key themes of this program; |
|
the Wells program aims to achieve the dual objectives of maximizing the safety and operational efficiency of wells, thereby increasing their profitability. This program provides real-time access to data from well bottoms during drilling; |
|
the goal of the Deep Offshore program is to further reduce technical costs with completely underwater development solutions, develop breakthrough technologies to economically explore and develop assets at depths of more than 3,000 meters, and design disruptive operating modes offering higher profitability, without compromising safety. |
2.7.4 |
New products |
On differentiated new products, R&D programs aim to support new market opportunities, particularly those relating to polymers, lubricants, fluids and fuels:
|
the Polymer differentiation program is using in-depth knowledge of catalysts and polymerization processes to enable the Group to extend its range of polyolefins and polystyrene, by giving them properties that go far beyond conventional products and meet customers future challenges. To this end, its work relates to the development of new catalyst supports resulting in polymers with enhanced mechanical properties or improved optical properties, for example. It also covers the creation of polymers that will be easier to process at customers processing facilities while retaining their end qualities. Emphasis is also placed on reducing the environmental impact of plastics by providing products that are lighter but just as strong. Research is being carried out into the development of a scientific computing approach to highlight the relationships between catalyst structures and the properties of the polymers, and a dedicated team was set up in 2019; |
|
the goal of the Road of the future program is to improve bitumen laying, increase bitumen service life and identify new functions such as the change of color depending on the outside temperature to prevent a risk of black ice or the ability to absorb heat to limit high temperatures in urban areas; |
|
the Products for non-electric powertrains program aims to consolidate the development of fuels, lubricants and other fluids to support the evolution of new internal combustion engines towards reduced emissions, particularly of CO2 and air pollutants. The objective is to develop innovative solutions through the acquisition of skills around artificial intelligence, to strengthen competitiveness and reduce development times; |
|
the Differentiated products for industry program covers developments of new products in the field of industrial lubricants, special fluids and bitumen for industry. The program prioritizes HSE issues and competitiveness in addition to a high level of product performance.

Digital |
The goal of our digital technology research programs is to leverage computing science & engineering, artificial intelligence and advanced analytical methods to speed up and improve problem solving. They are also used to develop data-driven materials, together with nanotechnologies, robotics and edge computing:
|
the Digital program explores future computing technologies for digital simulations and effective artificial intelligence applications, with the development of innovative, advanced, energy-saving algorithms for more efficient, faster, cheaper and more accurate computation to meet HSE challenges, to the benefit of TOTALs current and future activities and for the energies of the future. |
In 2019, TOTAL brought online its new supercomputer, Pangea III, which increases the Groups computing power fivefold. The capacity |
of Pangea III is combined with that of its predecessors Pangea I and II and makes it the most powerful industrial supercomputer, and the 11th most powerful public or private computer, in the world(1): |
|
the Measurement and Analytics program focuses its research on the complex new matrices resulting from biomass and plastics recycling channels at the laboratory jointly operated by the University of Pau (UPPA), the University of Normandy, TOTAL, the CNRS, and the University of Florida. The first molecular maps of feedstocks resulting from the hydrothermal conversion of algae reflect a considerable complexity in the diversity of the chemical families that coexist in a single feedstock. Accessing and interpreting these maps quickly is decisive for guiding research into methods for utilizing these new feedstocks. |
2.7.6 |
Materials and integrated solutions for mobility: Hutchinson |
Next to the five focus areas of the Groups R&D, Hutchinson has a R&D activity centered around its activities. It is an important factor in innovation and differentiation for Hutchinson, which is present from the design of custom materials (rubber, thermoplastics, composites) to the incorporation of connected solutions and objects (complex solutions, mechatronics, hardware, software, systems, Internet of Things, big data, etc.). Hutchinsons ambition is to rise to the challenges of the mobility of the future by developing technologies that enable safer, more comfortable, more responsible ways to travel.
In 2019, a new advanced engineering team was set up in Singapore to add to its network of research centers. The team aims to take advantage of Singapores innovation ecosystem in the field of smart network management, connected objects, advanced robotics and aerospace maintenance, in which it is a global center of excellence. The facility in Asia also improves links with the worlds leading economic area and the main automotive production cluster (40% of the worlds vehicle production).
In 2019, Hutchinson also finalized the acquisition of Midé Technology. This high-tech company, which originated at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), has specialized in solving cutting-edge technical and scientific problems using its expertise in advanced mechatronics, piezoelectric systems and smart materials. Midés skills set strengthens Hutchinsons R&D and gives the Group a foothold on the East Coast of the United States, in one of the most dynamic innovation ecosystems in the world.
This significant investment by the Group provides a response to the common preoccupations across all of Hutchinsons markets (automotive, aerospace, defense, railroads, etc.) such as weight reduction, increased energy efficiency, improved diagnostic and passive and active control functionality, and greater acoustic, thermal and vibratory comfort and safety, in line with its cross-fertilization approach.

Risk factors |
The Group conducts its activities in an ever-changing environment. It is exposed to risks that, if they were to occur, could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, reputation, outlook, or the Total share price.
This section presents the significant risk factors specific to the Group, to which it believes it is exposed as of the filing date of the Universal Registration Document. However, the Group may be exposed to other non-specific risks, or of which it may not be aware, or which it may be underestimating the potential consequences of, or other risks that may not have been considered by the Group as being likely to have a material adverse impact on the Group, its business, financial condition, reputation or outlook.
[REDACTED SECTION: CERTAIN TEXT HAS BEEN REDACTED.]
The main internal control and risk management procedures implemented by the Group are described in point 3.3 of this chapter.

3.1.1 |
Market environment parameters |
Sensitivity of results to oil and gas prices, refining margins, exchange rates and interest rates
The results of TOTAL are sensitive to various market environment parameters, the most significant being oil and gas prices, refining margins, exchange rates and interest rates.
Prices for oil and natural gas may fluctuate widely due to many factors over which TOTAL has no control. These factors include:
|
global and regional economic and political developments in natural resource-producing regions, particularly in the Middle East, Africa, South America and Russia; along with the security situation in certain regions, the magnitude of international terrorist threats, wars or other conflicts; |
|
the ability of the OPEC and other producing nations to influence global oil and gas production levels and prices; |
|
prices of unconventional energies as well as evolving approaches for developing oil sands and shale oil, which may affect the Groups realized prices, notably under its long-term gas sales contracts and asset valuations, particularly in North America; |
|
global economic and financial market conditions; |
|
regulations and governmental actions; |
|
variations in global and regional supply of and demand for energy; and changes in consumer preferences including when due to epidemics such as Covid-19. |
Generally, a decline in oil and gas prices has a negative effect on the Groups results due to a decrease in revenues from oil and gas production. Conversely, a rise in oil and gas prices increases the Groups results.
In addition to the adverse effect on sales, margins and profitability, a prolonged period of low oil or natural gas prices may lead the Group to review its development projects, reduce the Groups reported reserves, and cause the Group to revise the price assumptions upon which asset impairment tests are based, which could have an adverse effect on the Groups results in the period in which it occurs. For additional information on impairments recognized on the Groups assets, refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements (point 8.7 of chapter 8).
Prolonged periods of low oil and natural gas prices may reduce the economic viability of projects in production or in development and reduce the Groups liquidity, thereby decreasing its ability to finance capital expenditures and/or causing it to cancel or postpone investment projects.
Conversely, in a high oil and gas price environment, the Group can experience significant increases in cost and government withholdings, and, under some production-sharing contracts, the Groups production rights could be reduced. Higher prices can also reduce demand for the Groups products.
The Groups results from its Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services segments are primarily dependent upon the supply and demand for petroleum products and the associated margins on sales of these products. Changes in oil and gas prices affect results on these segments, depending on the speed at which the prices of petroleum products adjust to reflect movements in oil and gas prices. The Groups refining margins, which fell in 2019, remain highly volatile.
The activities of trading and shipping (oil, gas and power trading and shipping activities) are particularly sensitive to market risks and more specifically to price risk as a consequence of the volatility of oil and gas prices, to liquidity risk (inability to buy or sell cargoes at market prices) and to counterparty risks (when a counterparty does not fulfill its contractual obligations).
In 2019, oil prices gradually firmed up until May when they stood at around $70/b (Brent), supported by continued demand, OPEC+ quotas and the geopolitical context in the Middle East. From June, they stood at around $60/b due to ongoing increases in production in the United States, and slowing growth in demand.
Gas prices, which were not aligned with oil prices in 2019, fell sharply, particularly in Europe and Asia, from an average of over $7.5 per Mbtu in January 2019 to less than $4.5 per Mbtu during the summer, owing to a well-supplied market with supply still abundant and Asian demand slightly less dynamic (particularly in China), although still a driver of global demand. Prices firmed up in the autumn, increasing to over $5 per Mbtu on average in the last quarter of 2019.
The oil and gas markets remain highly volatile.
For the fiscal year 2020, according to the scenarios retained below, the Group estimates that an increase of $10 per barrel in the average liquids price would increase annual adjusted net operating income(1) by approximately $2.9 billion and annual cash flow from operations by approximately $3.3 billion. Conversely, a decrease of $10 per barrel in the average liquids price would decrease annual adjusted net operating income by approximately $2.9 billion and annual cash flow from operations by approximately $3.3 billion. In addition, the Group estimates that an increase in the average sales price for NBP gas of $1 per Mbtu would increase annual adjusted net operating income(1) by approximately $0.35 billion, and increase annual cash flow by the same amount. Conversely, a fall in the average sales price for NBP gas of $1 per Mbtu would decrease annual adjusted net operating income by approximately $0.35 billion, and decrease annual cash flow by the same amount.
The impact of changes in crude oil and gas prices on downstream operations depends upon the speed at which the prices of finished products adjust to reflect these changes. The Group estimates that a decrease in the variable cost margin Refining Europe (VCM) of $10 per ton would decrease annual adjusted net operating income by $0.5 billion and annual cash flow from operations by approximately $0.6 billion. Conversely, an increase in the VCM of $10 per ton would increase annual adjusted net operating income by $0.5 billion and annual cash flow from operations by approximately $0.6 billion.
All of the Groups activities are, for various reasons and to varying degrees, sensitive to fluctuations in the dollar/euro exchange rate. The Group estimates that a decrease of $0.10 per euro (strengthening of the dollar versus the euro) would increase annual adjusted net operating income by approximately $0.1 billion and have a limited impact on annual cash flow from operations. Conversely, an increase of $0.10 per euro (weakening of the dollar versus the euro) would decrease adjusted net operating income by approximately $0.1 billion and have a limited impact on annual cash flow from operations.

NBP (National Balancing Point) is a virtual natural gas trading point in the United Kingdom for transferring rights in respect of physical gas and which is widely used as a price benchmark for the natural gas markets in Europe. NBP is operated by National Grid Gas plc, the operator of the UK transmission network. |
In addition, as part of its financing, the Group is susceptible to fluctuations in interest rates. In its bond debt and short-term debt securities (commercial papers) portfolio, the Groups exposure to floating rates (after taking into account hedging instruments) was approximately $28 billion on average in 2019. Within this scope, a fluctuation in the USD 3-month LIBOR rate by +/- 1%, on the
basis of a rate of 1.50%, would have resulted in a change in the cost of debt, and the impact of this on adjusted net income and on cash flow is estimated at approximately -/+ $0.24 billion.
3.1.2 |
Climate challenges |
Deployment of the energy transition
TOTAL is exposed to the implementation of the energy transition, particularly by the States.
Civil society, numerous stakeholders and the States are encouraging the reduced consumption of carbon-based energy products and the establishment of an energy mix more geared towards low-carbon energies, so as to effectively combat climate change specifically pursuant to the objectives set by each State in connection with the Paris Agreement, and even beyond that.
The pace of change of the energy mix of countries should, however, take into consideration the needs and abilities to adapt of different energy consumers who expect energy players to supply them with energy that is affordable in terms of cost and environmentally friendly. In developing countries, the priority is access to energy, which is a source of economic and social development.
In this context, oil and gas companies will be guided to improve their control over greenhouse gas emissions. They will also be able to help create solutions that contribute to reducing CO2 emissions by their products users, and technologies and processes to capture, store and use CO2. Consequently, they may be led to change the energy mix they offer. This is already the case for TOTAL, which has started to shift its portfolio towards low-carbon activities.
The accelerated rate of deployment of the energy transition towards low carbon or zero carbon energy in the various countries where TOTAL supplies energy to its clients could affect the Groups prospects as well as its financial position (lower Group profitability, loss of operating rights, loss of sales, increased funding difficulties), reputation or shareholder value.
Development of oil and gas reserves
The Groups profitability depends on the discovery, acquisition and development of new reserves profitably and in sufficient quantity.
A large portion of the Groups revenues and operating results are derived from the sale of oil and gas that the Group extracts from underground reserves developed as part of its exploration & production activities. The development of oil and gas fields, the construction of facilities and the drilling of production or injection wells is capital intensive and requires advanced technology.
For exploration & production activities to continue to be profitable, the Group needs to replace its reserves with new proved reserves (likely to be developed and produced in an economically viable manner). A number of factors may undermine TOTALs ability to discover, acquire and develop new reserves, which are inherently uncertain, including:
|
the geological nature of oil and gas fields, notably unexpected drilling conditions, including pressure or unexpected heterogeneities in geological formations; the risk of dry holes or failure to find expected commercial quantities of hydrocarbons; |
|
the Groups inability to anticipate market changes in a timely manner; |
|
anticipated and unanticipated governmental or regulatory requirements that may prevent the development of reserves, or give a competitive advantage to companies not subject to such regulations; |
|
competition from oil and gas companies for the acquisition and development of assets and licenses; |
|
disputes related to property titles, as well as increases in taxes and royalties, including retroactive claims and changes in regulations and tax reassessments; |
|
economic or political risks, including threats specific to a certain country or region. |

These factors may impair the Groups ability to complete development projects and to make production economical. They may also affect the Groups projects and facilities further down the oil and gas chain. If TOTAL fails to develop new reserves cost-effectively and in sufficient quantities, the Groups financial condition, including its operating income and cash flow, could be materially affected.
In addition, the Groups proved reserves figures are estimates prepared in accordance with SEC rules. Proved reserves are those reserves which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically recoverable - from a given date forward, from known reservoirs and under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations - prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. They involve making subjective judgment (including with respect to the estimate of hydrocarbons initially in place, initial production rates and recovery efficiency) based on available geological, technical and economic data.
The Groups reserves estimates may therefore require substantial downward revisions should its subjective judgments prove not to have been conservative enough based on the available geoscience and engineering data, or the Groups assumptions regarding factors or variables that are beyond its control prove to be incorrect over time. Any downward adjustment could indicate lower future production amounts, which could adversely affect the Groups financial condition, including its operating income and cash flow.
TOTAL is exposed to a risk of more difficult access to the financial resources it needs, in particular to develop its Oil & Gas activities.
The growth and profitability of the Group rely on its ability to successfully execute development projects that are capital-intensive.
A number of non-governmental organizations tend to increase the number of campaigns targeting investors and financial institutions, to encourage them to invest less in projects or companies related to fossil fuels. Some of these institutions have adopted policies aimed to restrict the funding of activities related to the exploration, production and marketing of certain categories of hydrocarbons, such as shales or oil sands.
Institutional investors are also adopting investment policies that take the carbon footprint of assets under management into consideration, or more generally in terms of ESG criteria.
The growing concern of civil society and stakeholders in terms of climate change could therefore make accessing external funding more difficult for a number of Group projects, or influence investors in their investment choices.
If the Group were unable to find adequate financing for its activities from investors, notably in the Oil & Gas sector, the significant increase in the cost of financing that may result from this could impair its ability to undertake projects, and worsen its financial position or shareholder value.
Operating and financial risks relating to the effects of climate change
The effects of climate change may leave TOTAL exposed to an increase in associated operating and financial costs.
TOTALs businesses operate in various regions, where the potential physical impacts of climate change, including changes in climate prediction patterns, are highly uncertain. Climate change potentially has multiple effects that could harm the Groups operations. The increasing scarcity of water resources may negatively affect the Groups operations in some regions of the world, high sea levels may harm certain coastal activities, and the multiplication of extreme weather events may damage offshore and onshore facilities. All these factors may increase the operating costs of facilities and have an adverse effect on the Groups operating income.
In addition, in Europe, the Groups industrial facilities are part of the CO emissions quotas market (EU-ETS), and the financial risk incurred by 2 purchasing these quotas in the market could increase due to the reform of the system that was approved in 2018. This emission quotas market is in its third phase. The Group estimates that about 25% of emissions subjected to EU-ETS are not covered by free quotas in the period 2013-2020 (phase 3) and to 30% or more from 2021 to 2030 (phase 4). At the end of 2019, the price of these quotas was about 25/t, and the Group expects this price to be higher than 30/t in phase 4. Internal studies conducted by TOTAL have shown that a long-term CO price of $40/t(1) applied worldwide would have a negative impact of around 2 5% on the discounted present value of the Groups assets (upstream and downstream).
In the context of increased exposure to legal proceedings, TOTAL may receive claims issued by public entities in certain countries in view of financing the protective measures to be implemented in order to limit the consequences of climate change, which may adversely affect the financial situation of the Group or the Total share price.
Reputational risk and management of talent
TOTAL is exposed to reputational risk and may face difficulties to recruit and retain the key talent and skills required for its development.
The attention of many stakeholders as regards major industrial groups is on the increase, particularly given the challenges of climate change. As a major player in the oil and gas segment, TOTAL faces significant media exposure, both nationally and internationally. This is magnified through the use of social networks.
In addition, the expectations of new generations and employees regarding the Companys commitment in the face of environmental challenges, in particular those related to climate, as well as the increased competition with fast-growing high technology sectors, such as information technologies, are on the up and are visible both in the recruitment process and during their careers. TOTAL may therefore experience difficulties attracting and retaining the key talent and skills needed by the Group for its development.
If the Group were unable to respond adequately to stakeholders, its public image and its reputation could be affected. The Group may therefore face difficulties to recruit and retain the key talent and skills required for its development, which could impair its ability to develop, innovate and could as a result cause a loss of productivity and a slowdown in its growth.

Risk relating to external threats |
Cybersecurity risks
The Group is exposed to malicious acts that may permanently paralyze its information systems or cause losses of sensitive data.
The global cyber-threat evolves constantly and grows. TOTAL is exposed to it. Firstly, cyber-attacks, whose techniques are regularly renewed, are becoming more and more sophisticated. Secondly, many factors intensify the exposure and vulnerability of the Groups information systems: digital transformation, the adoption of new technologies such as the Internet of Things, the migration of data to the Cloud or even changes in the architecture of information systems that allow system interconnectivity.
The Groups activities depend on the reliability and security of its information systems. TOTAL is exposed to a risk of malicious actions, internal or external, committed individually or in loosely or tightly organized or structured groups against its infrastructure, information systems and data. The Groups information systems, some of which are managed by third parties, are susceptible to being compromised, damaged, disrupted or shutdown due to cyber-attacks (viruses, computer intrusions, etc.).
If the Group and its service providers were unable to conserve the integrity of its critical information systems and its sensitive data, the
Groups activities and assets could sustain damage, services provided by the Group could be interrupted, intellectual property rights could be usurped or stolen, and in some cases, personal injury, property damage, environmental harm and regulatory violations could occur, potentially having a material adverse effect on the Groups financial condition and its reputation, and exposing the Group to legal proceedings.
Security risks
The Group is exposed to risks that may jeopardize the security of its personnel, operations and facilities, which may specifically arise in the form of acts of terrorism or malicious acts.
TOTAL operates in countries where political, economic and social instability may favor the emergence of acts of terrorism or malicious acts, either by isolated individuals or by groups that are loosely or tightly organized, or structured. As such, TOTAL and its partners are exposed to risks that may jeopardize the security of its personnel, operations and facilities (plants, industrial or operational sites, pipelines, transport systems) which may lead to major industrial accidents.
Depending on the scale of these acts of terrorism or malicious acts, the damage that may result from them and be caused to people, property and/or the environment, could have an adverse effect on the Groups operating income, financial situation, and reputation.

Against a backdrop of risks of globalization and fragmentation between nations highlighted by the development of protectionist measures affecting free trade, trade tensions between certain countries serve to restrict the free trade of goods and services, financial flows, along with international transfers of labor or knowledge.
Tensions between countries, in particular commercial tensions, particularly when they require the modification of the contractual framework of partnerships or the operating conditions of projects, are likely to have a negative impact on the Groups business and its operating income. If TOTAL were unable to manage the impacts of these commercial tensions in an appropriate manner, the Group would potentially incur significant increases in costs for the development of its projects, lose markets, see its production or the value of its assets fall, which may adversely affect its financial situation.
Deterioration of operating conditions
TOTAL is exposed to risks related to adverse changes in operating conditions in some geographic areas or strategic countries.
A substantial part of the Groups activities is located in strategic areas or countries that may face conditions of political, geopolitical, social and/or economic instability. In recent years, a number of these countries have experienced varying degrees of one or more of the following: economic, political, or geopolitical instability, civil war, violent conflict, and social unrest. Any of these conditions alone or in combination could disrupt the Groups economic and commercial activities in these countries or geographic areas.
In Africa (excluding North Africa), which represented 23% of the Groups 2019 combined liquids and gas production, certain of these situations of political, social and/or economic instability arose in countries where the Group has production, including Nigeria, which is one of the main contributing countries to the Groups production (refer to point 2.1.3 of chapter 2).
The Middle East and North Africa zone, which represented 23% of the Groups 2019 combined liquids and gas production, has suffered increased political instability in connection with violent conflict and social unrest, particularly in Libya or Iraq. In Yemen, the deterioration of security conditions in the vicinity of the Balhaf site caused the company Yemen LNG, in which the Group holds a stake of 39.62%, to stop its commercial production and export of LNG and to declare force majeure to its various stakeholders in 2015. The plant has been put in preservation mode.
In South America, which represented 5% of the Groups 2019 combined liquids and gas production, certain of the countries in which TOTAL has production have recently suffered from political or economic instability, including Argentina and Venezuela.
The occurrence and scale of incidents related to political, geopolitical, economic or social instability in certain geographic areas or strategic countries cannot be predicted. Such incidents are likely to adversely affect operating conditions, and may lead to a significant drop in production, the stoppage of some projects, and the loss of market share. Such incidents may also expose employees and jeopardize their security, as well as the safety of the Groups facilities. These risks may well have an adverse impact on the Groups operating income and financial condition.

Risk Factors |

The Group also faces an increased risk of the imposition of sanctions that are increasingly frequent and less and less coordinated at international level, as well as a tightening of regulations relating to export controls.
Economic sanction regimes, combined with export controls, can target those countries in which TOTAL operates, and thus restrict certain types of financing or access to critical technologies, impose restrictions on the export or re-export of a number of goods and services, and hinder the Groups ability to continue its operations, as was the case in 2018 for the South Pars 11 project in Iran.
In addition to particularly heavy financial penalties, the breaching of economic sanction regimes adopted by the United States may lead the authorities to impose measures that freeze companies out of the US market, such as a ban on using USD for funding, while most of the Groups funding occurs in US dollars.
For instance, TOTAL held 24% of its proved reserves and produced 16% of the Groups oil and gas in Russia in 2019. Since July 2014, international economic sanctions have been adopted against certain Russian individuals and entities, including various entities operating in the financial, energy and defense sectors. In this country, TOTAL takes part in major LNG projects (Yamal LNG and Arctic LNG 2) both directly and through its holding in the PAO Novatek company(1). The economic sanctions applicable notably to Cuba, Iran, Russia, Syria and Venezuela are described in point 3.2 of this chapter.
Developments in regulation
The increasing number of regulations, and the constant developments, whether anticipated or not, in the legal and tax frameworks in countries where the Group operates, may have significant operational and financial effects, jeopardize the Groups business model and affect the conduct of its business and its financial conditions, especially given the size of TOTAL and its international dimension.
Conducting its activities in more than 130 countries throughout the world, TOTAL is subject to increasingly numerous, complex and restrictive laws and regulations, particularly regarding health, safety and the environment, as well as business ethics, which generate significant compliance costs. In Europe and the United States, the Groups sites and products are subject to increasingly stringent laws governing the protection of the environment (water, air, soil, noise, protection of nature, waste management and impact assessments, etc.), health (occupational safety and chemical product risk, etc.), the safety of personnel and residents, product quality and consumer protection.
In some jurisdictions, the legal and fiscal framework of operations may be changed unexpectedly. The application of rights, including contractual rights, may be uncertain and the economics of projects called into question. The legal and fiscal framework of the Groups activities, in particular regarding exploration and production, established through concessions, licenses, permits and contracts granted by or entered into with a government entity, a state-owned company or private owners, is specifically subject to risks of renegotiation that, in certain cases, can reduce or challenge the protections offered by the initial legal framework and/or the economic benefit to TOTAL.
In recent years, in various regions globally, TOTAL has observed governments and state-owned companies impose more stringent conditions on companies pursuing exploration and production activities, increasing the costs and uncertainties of the Groups business operations. TOTAL expects this trend to continue.
Potential increasing intervention by governments in such countries can take a wide variety of forms, including:
|
the award or denial of exploration and production interests; |
|
the imposition of specific drilling obligations; |
|
price and/or production quota controls and export limits; |
|
nationalization or expropriation of assets; |
|
unilateral cancellation or modification of license or contract rights; |
|
increases in taxes and royalties, including retroactive claims and changes in regulations and tax reassessments; |
|
the renegotiation of contracts; |
|
the imposition of increased local content requirements; |
|
payment delays; and |
|
currency exchange restrictions or currency devaluation. |
As a result of the development of the Groups low-carbon activities, particularly in the electricity sector, it is subject to new, mainly local regulations and which may change at an unexpected pace.
The increasing number of legal and tax regulations, which are occasionally inconsistent with each other, and the constant changes, whether anticipated or not, of legal and fiscal frameworks in the countries in which the Group operates create legal instability, which heightens the risk of legal proceedings and promotes an increase in the number of national or transnational disputes. They may effectively cause a material increase in tax and customs duties, as well as costs relating to operations, thus affecting the profitability of projects or the economic value of a number of Group assets, or even oblige the Group to shorten, change and/or stop certain activities or to implement temporary or permanent site closures.
If TOTAL were unable to anticipate changes in regulations or comply in time with new regulations in force in one or more countries where the Group operates, TOTAL may face increased litigation, and be forced to modify and/or stop some of its activities, which may lead to a downturn in the profitability of certain projects, and adversely affect its financial condition and reputation.

Risk Factors |
3.1.5 |
Risks relating to operations |
HSE: risk of major accident or damage to third parties and the environment
The Groups activities entail several operating risks such as the risk of a major industrial accident, or damage to third parties or to the environment.
The Group must face the risk of a major industrial accident both at its sites and during transport by sea or land, or during activities related to its operations.
The Groups upstream activities are exposed to risks related to the physical characteristics of oil and gas fields during drilling operations, which can cause blow outs, explosions, fires or other damage, in particular to the environment, and lead to a disruption of the Groups operations or reduce its production. The activities of the Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power, Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services business segments are also subject to the risk of a major industrial accident such as fires, explosions, significant damage to the environment, as well as risks related to the overall life cycle of the products manufactured, and the materials used. In addition to its drilling and pipeline transport operations, the Group has at the end of 2019 180 sites and operating zones exposed to the risk of a major industrial accident, which could cause harm or damage to people, property and the environment.
The conduct of the Groups activities, and the nature of some of the products sold, may also entail risks of direct and repeated exposure which have longer-term effects on health and the environment (soil, air, water).
The Groups entities and their legal representatives may be exposed to legal proceedings, notably in the event of damage to human life, bodily injury and material damage, chronic damage to health and environmental damage. Such proceedings could also damage the Groups reputation.
The crisis management plans implemented at the Group level and at subsidiary level to cope with emergency situations may not make it possible to minimize the impacts on third parties or the environment, or exclude the risk that the Groups business and operations may be severely disrupted in a crisis situation. An inability for the Group to resume its activities in a timely manner could prolong the impact of any disruption and thus could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition.
The Group is not insured against all potential risks, and if a major industrial accident were to occur, TOTALs liability may exceed the maximum coverage provided by its third-party liability insurance. The Group cannot guarantee that it will not suffer any uninsured loss, and there can be no guarantee that such loss would not have a material adverse effect on the Groups financial condition and its reputation.
Development of major projects
The Groups production growth and profitability depend on the delivery of its major development projects.
Growth of production and profitability of the Group rely heavily on the successful execution of its major development projects that are increasingly complex and capital-intensive. These major projects may be affected by the occurrence of a number of difficulties, including, in particular, those related to:
|
economic or political risks, including threats specific to a certain country or region, such as terrorism, social unrest or other conflicts; |
|
negotiations with partners, governments, local communities, suppliers, customers and other third parties; |
|
obtaining project financing; |
|
controlling capital and operating costs; |
|
earning an adequate return in a low price environment (oil, gas and energy prices, etc.); |
|
respecting project schedules; and |
|
the timely issuance or renewal of permits and licenses by public agencies. |
Failure to deliver any major project that underpins production or production growth could adversely affect the Groups financial condition, including its operating income and cash flow.
Business ethics
Ethical misconduct or non-compliance of the Group, its employees or third parties acting on its behalf with applicable laws and regulations in particular concerning corruption or fraud may well expose TOTAL to criminal and civil proceedings and be damaging to its reputation and shareholder value.
In the energy sector, where the amounts invested may be very high, governments and public authorities are the leading counterparties in this sector that are generally considered as strategic. The Group is present in more than 130 countries, some of which have a high perceived level of corruption according to the index drawn up by Transparency International. The Group advocates a zero tolerance principle for fraud of any kind, particularly corruption and influence peddling.
Non-compliance with laws and regulations as well as ethical or human rights misconduct by TOTAL, its employees or a third party acting on its behalf could expose TOTAL and/or its employees to investigations, administrative or legal proceedings, criminal and civil sanctions and to additional penalties (such as debarment from public procurement). Further measures could, depending on applicable legislation (notably, the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Bribery Act, the French law No. 2016-1691 dated December 9, 2016 relating to transparency, the fight against corruption and modernization of the economy or the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 with regard to the protection of personal data), be imposed by competent authorities, such as the review and reinforcement of the compliance program under the supervision of an independent third party. Any of the above may be damaging to the financial condition, shareholder value or reputation of the Group.
Integration of strategic acquisitions
The addition of an asset or company that presents a strategic interest for the Group may not produce the effects initially expected.
The Group has made and may make further acquisitions in numerous geographic markets, in various activities, and with companies of various sizes. In 2019, acquisitions made by the Group stood at a total of $5.9 billion. Acquisitions present many challenges (synergies, governance, operating model, key employees, sufficient availability of TOTALs teams) and require specific adaptation on a case-by-case basis.

If the Group were unable to integrate the assets acquired in line with the conditions provided, so as to achieve the expected synergies, to retain the key employees of the newly acquired company, or if the Group had to bear liabilities that were not yet identified or appropriately assessed at the time of the transaction, then the Groups financial condition and reputation may be adversely affected.
Partnership management
The Group faces risks related to partnership management.
Almost all exploration & production projects and, more recently, a number of projects undertaken by the Groups other business segments, occur via partnerships (including joint-ventures) to spread the investment costs and associated risks across the various partners. In some countries, specifically in Africa, legislation and/or the authorities make TOTALs presence conditional on the establishment of a joint-venture with a local company. Some partnerships include companies exposed to specific risks linked to the financial markets, like PAO Novatek(1).
A partnerships success depends on many factors, primarily the quality of the partner (specifically technical skills and financial capacity), the quality of agreements negotiated, and the efficiency of the governance framework implemented. Inappropriate or incomplete contractual agreements, or the partners breaching of its obligations,
specifically those that are financial, legal or ethical, may harm or prevent the development of projects, give rise to disputes and damage the Groups reputation.
Projects developed in partnership may be operated by the Group, by the partners, or by joint-ventures set up for this purpose in the form of a company or via contractual agreements. In cases where the Groups companies are not operators, these companies may have limited influence over, and control of, the behavior, performance and costs of the partnership, their ability to manage risks may be limited. Even if they are not operators, Group companies may be sued by the authorities or by plaintiffs.
The challenges and risks linked with partnerships may also cover the relationships of Group entities with their suppliers.
If TOTAL failed to select high-quality partners, failed to manage its partnerships in an optimum way, or failed to establish an appropriate governance framework, the Group could suffer a loss of profitability at project level, be obliged to incur costs in relation to potential litigation, and face the risk of damage to its reputation should the partner not comply with the rules applicable to the partnership, in particular those covering ethics or compliance.
3.1.6 |
Innovation |
Digital transformation
The Group may be unable to manage its digital transformation at a suitable pace, or on the right scale, which may have an impact on its business model, its organization or its competitiveness.
Across the entire value chain, digital transformation acts on the interaction between the Group and its markets. The Group seeks to benefit from digital to improve its industrial operations, both in terms of availability and costs or performance, offer new services to customers notably in the area of managing and optimizing energy consumption, make progress in new decentralized energies, and reduce its environmental impact. The Group also seeks to integrate digital technology into its operations so as to improve their efficiency, and enable activities and investments to be managed with enhanced performance and agility.
An unsuitable pace or capacity to tailor the Groups organization and skills to the digital transformation may have a negative effect on the Groups financial condition, its reputation, and on its ability to attract and train the necessary human resources.
Technological or market developments
The Group may fail to anticipate appropriately the technological changes related to its main markets, the expectations of its customers and changes in its competitive environment or certain business models, or may not respond to them in an appropriate way and at an appropriate pace.
The Groups activities are carried out in a constantly changing environment with new products, new players, new business models and new technologies continuously emerging. The Group must be able to anticipate these changes, understand the markets challenges, identify and integrate technological developments in order to maintain its competitiveness, maintain a high level of performance and operational excellence, and best meet the needs and demands of its customers. The Groups innovation policy requires significant investment, notably in R&D, of which the expected impact cannot be guaranteed. TOTAL also seeks to be organized so as to favor the selection of relevant projects and the implementation or industrialization of innovative ideas, which requires that the necessary skills be used, found, and retained.
An unsuitable pace of innovation or a technological or market development that is unforeseen or uncontrolled may have a negative effect on the Groups market share, its profitability, its reputation, and its ability to attract the necessary human resources.

3.2 |
Countries targeted by economic sanctions |
Economic sanctions or other restrictive measures could target countries, such as Cuba, Iran, and Syria and/or target actors or economic sectors, such as in Russia or in Venezuela.
U.S. and European restrictions relevant to the Group and information concerning the Groups limited activities or presence in certain targeted countries are outlined in points 3.2.1 and 3.2.2, respectively.
3.2.1 |
U.S. and European legal restrictions |
TOTAL closely monitors applicable international economic sanctions regimes, including those adopted by the United States and the European Union (EU) (collectively, Sanctions Regimes), changes to such regimes and possible impacts on the Groups activities. TOTAL takes steps to ensure compliance with applicable Sanctions Regimes and believes that its current activities in targeted countries do not infringe the applicable Sanctions Regimes. However, the Group cannot assure that current or future regulations related to Sanctions Regimes will not have a negative impact on its business, financial condition or reputation. A violation by the Group of applicable Sanctions Regimes could result in criminal, civil and/or material financial penalties.
A) Restrictions against Cuba
U.S. sanctions against Cuba prohibit any person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States(1) from engaging, directly or indirectly, in any activities or dealings related to Cuba, without government authorization. Therefore, U.S. dollar transactions involving U.S. banks, are prohibited for all transactions related to Cuba. Furthermore, it is prohibited to export and reexport to Cuba all goods subject to the Export Administration Regulations(2) without a license or under a license exception (for example, certain medical equipment), as well as to import all goods of Cuban origin into the United States. Cuba is not subject to European economic sanctions.
TOTAL has had an interest in a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder filing plant in Cuba since 1997, in accordance with the economic sanctions regime adopted by the United States.
B) Restrictions against Iran
Several countries and international organizations, including the United States and the EU, apply Sanctions Regimes of varying degrees targeting Iran.
On July 14, 2015, the EU, China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States and Germany entered into an agreement with Iran, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (the JCPOA), regarding limits on Irans nuclear activities and relief under certain U.S., EU and UN economic sanctions regarding Iran. On January 16, 2016, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that Iran had met its initial nuclear compliance commitments under the JCPOA. Therefore, as from that date, UN economic sanctions, most U.S. secondary sanctions (i.e., those covering non-U.S. persons(3) and for activities outside U.S. jurisdiction) and most EU economic sanctions were suspended(4).
Following the withdrawal of the United States from the JCPOA in May 2018, U.S. secondary sanctions concerning the oil industry were reimposed as of November 5, 2018.
In July 2017, TOTAL signed a contract for a period of 20 years with the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) relating to the development and production of phase 11 (SP11)(5) of the giant South Pars gas field. TOTAL withdrew from this project and finalized its withdrawal on October 29, 2018. TOTAL ceased all operational activity in Iran before November 4, 2018. As a consequence, TOTAL has had no operational activity in Iran since the re-imposition of U.S. secondary sanctions on the oil industry as of November 5, 2018.
Furthermore, certain U.S. states have adopted regulations with respect to Iran requiring, in certain conditions, state pension funds and other state-owned institutional investors to divest securities in any company that has or had business operations in Iran and state public contracts not to be awarded to such companies. Certain U.S. state regulators have adopted similar initiatives relating to investments by insurance companies. TOTAL believes the impact of these regulations to be limited as the Group ceased all operational activity in Iran before November 4, 2018. Nevertheless, TOTAL continues to closely monitor these measures, which are generally still in effect following the withdrawal of the United States from the JCPOA.
With respect to the Groups activities conducted under the sanctions framework that was in place prior to the entry into force of the JCPOA, the U.S. Department of State made a determination on September 30, 2010 that certain historical activities would not be deemed sanctionable and that, so long as TOTAL acted in accordance with its commitments related to this determination, it would not be regarded as a company of concern for its past Iran-related activities. TOTALs historical activities in Iran have been conducted in compliance with these Sanctions Regimes. Since 2011, TOTAL has had no production in Iran.
Refer to point 3.2.2 below for information concerning Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, pertaining to activities of the Group related to Iran.
C) Restrictions against Russia
Since July 2014, various Sanctions Regimes have been adopted against Russia, including prohibitions to deal with certain Russian individuals and entities or restrictions on financings, as well as restrictions on investments and exports to Russia.

The economic sanctions adopted by the EU since 2014 do not materially affect TOTALs activities in Russia. TOTAL has been formally authorized by the French government, which is the competent authority for granting authorization under the EU sanctions regime, to continue all its activities in Russia on the Kharyaga, Termokarstovoye and Chernichnoye fields and the Yamal LNG and the Arctic 2 LNG projects.
The United States adopted various economic sanctions, some of which target PAO Novatek(1) (Novatek), and the entities in which Novatek (individually or with other similarly targeted persons or entities) owns an interest of at least 50%, including OAO Yamal LNG(2) (Yamal LNG), Terneftegas(3) and OOO Arctic 2 LNG(4). These sanctions currently restrict U.S. persons from all transactions in, provision of financing for, and other dealings in debt of longer than 60 days maturity. To be compliant with U.S. economic sanctions regime, transactions with these parties processed by U.S. banks must meet the regulatory payment restrictions. The Yamal LNG projects financing was finalized in successive steps in 2016 in compliance with applicable regulations. The financing of the Arctic LNG 2 project is under discussion.
In addition, the U.S. Department of Commerce has imposed restrictions on exports and reexports of certain goods to Russia under the regulation related to the U.S. export control with respect to certain oil projects, which do not materially impact TOTALs current activities in Russia.
In August 2017, the United States adopted the Countering Americas Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA). This act provides for, in particular, the possibility to impose secondary sanctions against a non-U.S. person who (i) invests in certain types of crude oil projects; (ii) carries out a significant transaction with a Russian individual or entity targeted by a Sanctions Regime ; (iii) carries out a significant transaction with an individual/entity party to or acting on behalf of Russian economic intelligence or defense sectors; (iv) carries out a direct and significant investment (beyond certain amounts), which contributes to the development of Russian export pipelines or (v) sells, leases or provides goods, services, technologies or information that could directly and in a significant manner facilitate the maintenance or expansion of the construction, modernization or repair of energy export pipelines by Russia. This act also, on the one hand, reduced the maturity periods of debts restricting the financing of certain entities and, on the other hand, extended, as from January 29, 2018, the prohibition applicable to certain entities to export goods and services outside of Russia in support of exploration or production projects of oil in deep water, beyond the Arctic offshore, or concerning shale formations (shale oil).
On April 6, 2018, the American Department of Treasurys Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) for the first time designated and registered certain Russian oligarchs and political figures, as well as several entities owned by them, on the list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List. Non-U.S. persons may now be sanctioned under secondary sanctions for having carried out significant transactions with the designated persons.
TOTAL continues its activities in Russia in compliance with applicable sanctions regimes.
As of December 31, 2019, TOTAL held 24% of its proved reserves in Russia, where the Group had 16% of its combined oil and gas production in 2019.
D) Restrictions against Syria
The EU adopted measures in 2011 regarding trade with and investment in Syria that are applicable to European persons and to entities constituted under the laws of an EU Member State, including, notably, a prohibition on the purchase, import or transportation from Syria of crude oil and petroleum products. The United States also has adopted comprehensive measures that broadly prohibit trade and investment in and with Syria. Since 2011, the Group ceased its activities that contributed to oil and gas production in Syria and has not purchased hydrocarbons from Syria since that time (refer to point 3.2.2).
E) Restrictions against Venezuela
Since 2014, different Sanctions Regimes were adopted relating to Venezuela, including prohibitions to deal with certain Venezuelan individuals and entities, as well as restrictions on financings.
In August 2017, the United States adopted economic sanctions relating to the Government of Venezuela as well as certain state-owned or controlled entities (collectively, the Government of Venezuela), including Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PdVSA) as well as entities in which PdVSA (individually or with other similarly targeted persons or entities collectively) owns an interest of at least 50% (which includes PetroCedeño S.A., a company in which the Group held an interest of 30.32% as of December 31, 2019). These sanctions prohibit all U.S. persons(5) from transacting in, providing financing for or otherwise dealing in debt issued by PdVSA as from August 25, 2017 of longer than 90 days maturity. The use of the U.S. dollar is therefore prohibited for these types of financings, including with PetroCedeño S.A.
On January 28, 2019, pursuant to Executive Order 13850, the U.S. Treasury Departments Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) designated PdVSA on the list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List, as well as any entities in which PdVSA owns an interest of at least 50%, including PetroCedeño S.A.
In August 2019, the United States ordered the blocking of all property and interests in property of the Government of Venezuela that come into the possession or control of U.S. persons and prohibits U.S. persons from dealing in any such property. As a practical matter, these sanctions prohibit U.S. persons from directly or indirectly engaging in any transactions with the Government of Venezuela. This action did not create a U.S. comprehensive-embargo against Venezuela and did not have a significant impact on TOTALs activities.
Since November 13, 2017, Venezuela has also been subject to European sanctions, which mainly provide for the freezing of assets of certain individuals and entities, a military embargo as well as restrictions on the exportation of certain goods.
To date, TOTAL has organized the management of its interest to ensure compliance with applicable sanctions.
On December 31, 2019, less than 0.5% of the Groups combined oil and gas production came from Venezuela in 2019.

Information concerning certain limited activities in Iran and Syria |
Information concerning TOTALs activities related to Iran that took place in 2019 provided in this section is disclosed according to Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (U.S. Exchange Act).
In addition, information for 2019 is provided concerning the payments made by Group affiliates to, or additional cash flow that operations of Group affiliates generate for, governments of any country identified by the United States as state sponsors of terrorism (currently, Iran, North Korea, Syria and Sudan)(1) or any entity controlled by those governments.
TOTAL believes that these activities are not subject to sanctions. For more information on certain U.S. and EU restrictions relevant to TOTAL in these jurisdictions, refer to point 3.2.1 of this chapter.
A) Iran
The Groups operational activities related to Iran were stopped in 2018 following the withdrawal of the United States from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in May 2018 and prior to the re-imposition of U.S. secondary sanctions on the oil industry as of November 5, 2018.
Statements in this section concerning affiliates intending or expecting to continue activities described below are subject to such activities continuing to be permissible under applicable international economic sanctions regimes.
a) Exploration & Production
The Tehran branch office of Total E&P South Pars S.A.S. (a wholly-owned affiliate), which opened in 2017 for the purposes of the development and production of phase 11 of the South Pars gas field, ceased all operational activities prior to November 1, 2018. In addition, since November 2018, Total Iran BV maintains a local representative office in Tehran with few employees solely for non-operational functions. Concerning payments to Iranian entities in 2019, Total Iran BV and Elf Petroleum Iran collectively made payments of approximately IRR 1.87 billion (approximately 39,500)(2) to the Iranian administration for taxes and social security contributions concerning the staff of the aforementioned representative office. None of these payments were executed in U.S. dollars.
Since November 30, 2018, Total E&P UK Limited (TEP UK), a wholly-owned affiliate, holds a 1% interest in a joint-venture relating to the Bruce field in the United Kingdom (the Bruce Field Joint-Venture) with Serica Energy (UK) Limited (Serica) (98%, operator) and BP Exploration Operating Company Limited (BPEOC) (1%), following the completion of the sale of 42.25% of TEP UKs interest in the Bruce Field Joint-Venture on November 30, 2018 pursuant to a sale and purchase agreement dated August 2, 2018 entered into between TEP UK and Serica. Upon closing of the transaction on November 30, 2018, all other prior joint-venture partners also sold their interests in the Bruce Field Joint-Venture to Serica (BPEOC sold 36% retaining a 1% interest, BHP Billiton Petroleum Great Britain Limited (BHP) sold its entire interest of 16% and Marubeni Oil & Gas (U.K.) Limited (Marubeni) sold its entire interest of 3.75%).
The Bruce Field Joint-Venture is party to an agreement governing certain transportation, processing and operation services provided to another joint-venture at the Rhum field in the UK (the Bruce Rhum Agreement). The licensees of the Rhum field are Serica (50%, operator) and the Iranian Oil Company UK Ltd (IOC UK), a subsidiary of NIOC (50%), an Iranian government-owned corporation. Under the terms of the Bruce Rhum Agreement, the Rhum field owners pay a proportion of the operating costs of the Bruce field facilities calculated on a gas throughput basis.
In November 2018, the U.S. Treasury Departments Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) granted a conditional license to BPEOC and Serica authorizing provision of services to the Rhum field following the re-imposition of U.S. secondary sanctions. The principal condition of the license is that the ownership of shares in IOC UK by Naftiran Intertrade Company Limited (the trading branch of the NIOC) are transferred into and held in a Jersey-based trust, thereby ensuring that the Iranian government does not derive any economic benefit from the Rhum field so long as U.S. sanctions against these entities remain in place. IOC UKs interest is managed by an independent management company established by the trust and referred to as the Rhum Management Company (RMC). Where necessary TEP UK liaises with RMC in relation to the Bruce Rhum Agreement and TEP UK expects to continue liaising with RMC on the same basis in 2020.
In October 2019, OFAC renewed and extended the conditional license to Serica authorizing the provision of services to the Rhum field until February 2021. In addition, OFAC informed that, to the extent that the license remains valid and Serica represents that the conditions set out in the license are met, activities and transactions of non-U.S. persons involving the Rhum filed or the Bruce field, including in relation to the operation of the trust, IOC UK and RMC will not be exposed to U.S. secondary sanctions with respect to Iran.
IOC UKs share of costs incurred under the Bruce Rhum Agreement have been paid to TEP UK in 2019 by RMC. In 2019, based upon TEP UKs 1% interest in the Bruce Field Joint-Venture and income from the net cash flow sharing arrangement with Serica, gross revenue to TEP UK from IOC UKs share of the Rhum field resulting from the Bruce Rhum Agreement was approximately £8 million. This amount was used to offset operating costs on the Bruce field and as such, generated no net profit to TEP UK. This arrangement is expected to continue in 2020.
Early 2019, TEP UK continued to act as agent for BHP and Marubeni pursuant to the agency agreement entered into in June 2018 between BHP, Marubeni and TEP UK according to which TEP UK received payments from RMC in relation to BHP and Marubenis share of income from the Bruce Rhum Agreement (the Agency Agreement). The payments related to the period before November 30, 2018, prior to BHP and Marubeni divested their respective interest in the Bruce Field Joint-Venture to Serica. In 2019, total payment received on behalf of BHP and Marubeni by TEP UK under this arrangement was approximately £1.1 million. TEP UK transferred all income received under the Agency Agreement to BHP and Marubeni and provided the service on a no profit, no loss basis. The Agency Agreement was terminated on June 27, 2019 following receipt of all payments relating to the period up to November 30, 2018.

TEP UK is also party to an agreement with Serica whereby TEP UK uses reasonable endeavors to evacuate Rhum NGL from the St Fergus Terminal (the Rhum NGL Agreement). TEP UK provides this service subject to Serica having title to all of the Rhum NGL to be evacuated and Serica having a valid license from OFAC for the activity. The service is provided on a cost basis, and TEP UK charges a monthly handling fee that generates an income of approximately £35,000 per annum relating to IOC UKs 50% stake in the Rhum field. After costs, TEP UK realizes little profit from this arrangement. TEP UK expects to continue this activity in 2020.
TOTAL S.A. paid approximately 2,000 to Iranian authorities related to various patents(1) in 2019. Similar payments are expected to be made in 2020.
b) Other business segments
In 2019, TOTAL S.A. paid fees of approximately 1,500 to Iranian authorities related to the maintenance and protection of trademarks and designs in Iran. Similar payments are expected to be made in 2020.
Refining & Chemicals
In 2019, Hanwha Total Petrochemicals (HTC), a South Korean joint-venture in which each of Total Holdings UK Limited (a wholly-owned affiliate) and its partner Hanwha General Chemicals holds a 50% interest, reported some activity in Iran. In November 2018, South Korea was granted a significant reduction exemption waiver (the SRE waiver) allowing it to import Iranian condensate from NIOC for six months. In that context, HTC purchased approximately 13.5 Mb of condensates from NIOC for approximately KRW 1,000 billion (approximately 760 million)(2) from January 2019 to April 2019. HTC stopped purchasing from NIOC thereafter. These condensates are used as raw material for certain of HTCs steam crackers.
In 2019, Total Research & Technology Feluy (TRTF, a wholly-owned affiliate) and Total Raffinage Chimie (TRC, a wholly-owned affiliate) paid fees related to three patents to Iranian authorities for an amount of approximately 1,400.
Marketing & Services
In 2019, Total Marketing France (TMF, a wholly-owned affiliate), provided fuel payment cards to the Iranian embassy located in Neuilly-sur-Seine (France) and the Iranian delegation to UNESCO in Paris (France), to be used in the Groups service stations. In 2019, this activity generated gross revenue of approximately 30,300 and net profit of approximately 2,200. The Group expects to continue this activity in 2020.
In 2019, as part of its refueling activities in France, Caldeo, a company wholly-owned by TMF, delivered fuel oil to the Iranian embassy in Neuilly-sur-Seine (France). In 2019, this activity generated gross revenue of approximately 1,500 and net profit of approximately 14. The Group expects to continue this activity in 2020.
In 2019, Total Belgium (a wholly-owned affiliate) provided fuel payment cards to the Iranian embassy in Brussels (Belgium), to be used in the Groups service stations. In 2019, this activity generated gross revenue of approximately 11,000 and net profit of 4,000. The Group expects to continue this activity in 2020.
B) Syria
Since early December 2011, TOTAL has ceased its activities that contribute to oil and gas production in Syria and maintains a local office solely for non-operational functions. In late 2014, the Group initiated a downsizing of its Damascus office and reduced its staff to few employees. Following the termination of their employment contracts in May 2019, the Damascus office was closed. In 2019, TOTAL paid approximately 6,500 to the Syrian government as contributions for social security in relation to the aforementioned staff of the Damascus office before it was closed.

Internal control and risk |
management procedures |
The following information was prepared with the support of several functional divisions of the Company, and in particular the Audit & Internal
Control, Legal and Finance Divisions. It was examined by the Audit Committee, then approved by the Board of Directors.
3.3.1 |
Fundamental elements of the internal control |
and risk management systems |
The Group is structured around its business segments, to which the Groups operational entities report. The business segments management is responsible, within its area of responsibility, for ensuring that operations are carried out in accordance with the strategic objectives defined by the Board of Directors and General Management. The functional divisions at the Holding level help General Management define norms and standards, oversee their application and monitor activities. They also lend their expertise to the operational divisions.
The Groups internal control and risk management systems are structured around a three-level organization Holding, business segments, operational entities where each level is directly involved and accountable in line with the level of delegation determined by General Management.
General Management constantly strives to maintain an efficient internal control system, based on the framework of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In this framework, internal control is a process intended to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives related to operations, reporting and compliance with applicable laws and regulations are achieved. As for any internal control system, it cannot provide an absolute guarantee that all risks are completely controlled or eliminated.
The COSO framework is considered equivalent to the reference framework of the French Financial Markets Authority (Autorité des marchés financiers). The Group has also chosen to rely on this framework as part of its obligations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Groups internal control and risk management systems are therefore based on the five components of this framework: control environment, risk assessment, control activities, monitoring, and information and communication.

Section 560.509 of the U.S. Iranian Transactions and Sanctions Regulations provides an authorization for certain transactions in connection with patent, trademark, copyright or other intellectual property protection in the United States or Iran, including payments for such services and payments to persons in Iran directly connected to intellectual property rights, and TOTAL believes that the activities related to the industrial property rights described in this point 3.2.2 are consistent with that authorization. |

Risks and control
Internal control and risk management procedures |
The Groups risk management system draws on the main international standards (COSO Enterprise Risk Management integrated framework, ISO 31000: 2018 - Risk management) as well as on French standards (Reference framework of the French Financial Markets Authority). The internal Risk Management, Internal Control and Audit Charter forms the common framework on which the Group relies to ensure control of its activities.
The Groups internal control and risk management systems cover the processes of the fully consolidated entities. Regarding acquisitions, the Groups control environment is implemented in the acquired entities after a critical analysis of their own systems.
The principles of control fit into the framework of the rules of corporate governance. In particular, these rules task the Board of Directors Audit Committee with monitoring the efficiency of the internal control and risk management systems, and of the internal audit performed to assess the risk management systems at all levels of the organization and make recommendations for their improvement. The Audit Committee also monitors the process of producing accounting and financial information, in order to guarantee its integrity.
Approximately 400 employees monitor the internal control systems within the Group. The assessment of the internal control and risk management system is mainly overseen by the Audit & Internal Control Division.
3.3.2 |
Control environment |
Integrity and ethics
TOTALs control environment is based primarily on its Code of Conduct, which spells out the Groups five values, including Respect for Each Other, which is reflected in the areas of integrity (fraud and corruption), respect for human rights, as well as environment and health. The principles of the Code of Conduct are set forth in a number of guides, such as the Business Integrity Guide and the Human Rights Guide. These documents are distributed to employees and are available on the intranet. They also set out the rules of individual behavior expected of all employees in the countries where the Group is present. Similarly, a Financial Code of Ethics sets forth the obligations applicable to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Vice President of the Corporate Accounting Division and the financial and accounting officers of the principal Group activities.
As a priority of General Management, compliance programs are deployed at Group level, in particular for the prevention of corruption, fraud and competition law infringement, as well as the protection of personal data. The anti-corruption and anti-fraud programs include reporting and control actions (reviews and audits). Ethical assessments are also conducted (refer to point 5.7 of chapter 5). In these areas, the Group relies on the Compliance network, the Ethics Officers network and the Ethics Committee, the role of which is key to listen and provide assistance.
Governance, authorities and responsibilities
The Board of Directors, with the support of its Committees, ensures that the internal control functions are operating properly. The Audit Committee ensures that General Management implements internal control and risk management procedures based on the risks identified, such that the Groups objectives are achieved.
General Management ensures that the organizational structure and reporting lines plan, execute, control and periodically assess the Groups activities. It regularly reviews the relevance of the organizational structures so as to be able to adapt them quickly to changes in the activities and in the environment in which they are carried out.
The business segments and operational entities general management bodies are responsible for the internal control and risk management system within the scope of their responsibility.
The Group has also defined central responsibilities that cover the three lines of internal control: (1) operational management, which is responsible for implementing internal control, (2) support functions (such as Finance, Legal, Human Resources, etc.), which prescribe the internal control systems, verify their implementation and effectiveness and assist operational employees, and (3) internal auditors who, through their internal control reports, provide recommendations to improve the effectiveness of the system.
An accountability system is defined and formalized at all levels of the organization, through organization notes, organization charts, appointment notes, job descriptions and delegations of powers. Each business segment has established, in accordance with the Groups instructions, clear rules applicable to its own scope.
TOTAL has a Group framework that is supplemented by a series of practical recommendations and feedbacks. Like the Groups organization, this framework has a three-level structure: a Group level, frameworks for each business segment, and a specific framework for each significant operational entity.
The Groups Audit & Internal Control Division pursues a continual process aimed at strengthening the assessment of the role and involvement of all employees in terms of internal control. Training initiatives tailored to the various stakeholders involved in the internal control process are regularly launched within the Group.
Control activities and assessment
Any activity, process or management system may be the subject of an internal audit conducted by the Group Audit in accordance with the international framework of the internal audit and its Code of Ethics. The Groups Audit & Internal Control Division also conducts joint audits with third parties and provides assistance (advice, analysis, input regarding methodology). The audit plan, which is based on an analysis of the risks and risk management systems, is submitted annually to the Executive Committee and the Audit Committee. The Groups Audit & Internal Control Division employed 75 people and conducted about 150 internal audit missions in 2019.

The Group regularly examines and assesses the design and effectiveness of the key operational, financial and information technology controls related to internal control over financial reporting, in compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
In 2019, this assessment was performed with the assistance of the Groups main entities and the Audit & Internal Control Division. The system in place covers:
|
the most significant entities, which assess the key operational controls of their main processes and respond to a Group questionnaire for assessing the internal control framework; |
|
other less significant entities, which respond only to the Group questionnaire for assessing the internal control framework. |
These two categories of entities, which include the central functions of the business segments and the Holding, account for approximately 80% and 10%, respectively, of the financial aggregates in the Groups Consolidated Financial Statements.
The statutory auditors also review the internal controls that they deem necessary as part of their certification of the financial statements. Pursuant to American regulations, they reviewed in 2019 the implementation of the Groups internal control framework and the design and effectiveness
of key internal controls in its main entities regarding financial reporting. Based on their review, the statutory auditors stated that they had no remarks on the information presented on internal control and risk management procedures.
The reports on the work performed by the Group Audit and statutory auditors are periodically summarized and presented to the Audit Committee and, thereby, to the Board of Directors. The Senior Vice President Audit & Internal Control attended all Audit Committee meetings held in 2019. The Audit Committee also meets with the statutory auditors at least once a year without the presence of any Company representatives.
If areas of improvement are identified by these internal audits and operational controls, then corrective action plans are drawn up and shared with operational management, who, along with the Groups Audit
& Internal Control Division, monitor their implementation closely.
Based on the internal reviews, General Management has reasonable assurance of the effectiveness of the Groups internal control.
3.3.3 |
Risk assessment and management |
3.3.3.1 |
General principles |
To implement its strategy, General Management ensures that clear and precise objectives are defined at the various levels of the organization with regard to operations, reporting and compliance.
Operational objectives focus on the definition and efficient use of human, financial and technical resources. In particular, they are formalized during the budgetary processes and in the long-term plan and are regularly monitored as part of the self-assessment process.
The monitoring of operational objectives (financial and non-financial) helps in making decisions and monitoring the performance of activities at each level of the organization.
The Group implements a global risk management system that is an essential factor in the deployment of its strategy. This system relies on a continuous process of identifying and analyzing risks in order to determine those that could prevent the achievement of TOTALs goals, on an organization at Group level, and in business segments, and on management systems.
The Executive Committee, with the assistance of the Group Risk Management Committee (GRMC), is responsible for identifying and analyzing internal and external risks that could impact the achievement of the Groups objectives. The main responsibilities of the GRMC include ensuring that the Group has a mapping of the risks to which it is exposed and that suitable risk management systems are in place. The GRMCs work focuses on continuously improving risk awareness and the risk management systems.
Risk mapping, which has been carried out since the 2000s, is a dynamic process that has taken shape over the years. The Groups risk map feeds the audit plan, which is based on an analysis of the risks and the risk management systems, and the work of the GRMC.
The GRMC relies on the work carried out by the business segments and functional divisions, which concurrently establish their own risk mapping. The business segments are responsible for defining and implementing a risk management policy suited to their specific activities. However, the handling of certain transverse risks is more closely coordinated by the respective functional divisions.
Regarding commitments, General Management exercises operational control over TOTALs activities through the Executive Committees approval of investments and expenses that exceed defined thresholds. The Risk Committee (CORISK) is tasked with reviewing these projects in advance, and in particular, with verifying the analysis of the various associated risks.
3.3.3.2 |
Implementation of the organizational framework |
The Group Risk Management Committee (GRMC)
The GRMC is chaired by the Groups Chief Financial Officer, who is a member of the Executive Committee, and includes the Senior Vice Presidents of the corporate functions, together with the chief administrative officers or chief financial officers from business segments. The Groups Chief Financial Officer attends all meetings of the Board of Directors Audit Committee, thus strengthening the link between the GRMC and the Audit Committee.
The GRMC meets at least five times a year. At each meeting, the participants share any potential risks they have identified and presentations are given on one or more risk-related topics, during which the members of the GRMC are invited to cast a critical eye over the subject, question the work done including related action plans and audit reports and, if applicable, provide additional information or clarification in order to enhance the understanding of the risk and improve the risk management systems. The GRMC can request actions to be taken.
The work of the GRMC is led by the Audit & Internal Control Division, which assists contributors in preparing presentations and acts as the Committees Secretary. In this capacity, the Audit & Internal Control Division reports annually on the work of the GRMC to the Executive Committee, and to the Audit Committee in the presence of the Groups Chief Financial Officer, who chairs the GRMC.
The Risk Committee (CORISK)
The Risk Committee is chaired by a member of the Executive Committee, the President of Strategy & Innovation or, during her absence, the Chief Financial Officer. It is made up of representatives from the corporate Strategy & Climate, Finance, Legal, Insurance, HSE and Civil Society Engagement divisions.

Risks and control
Internal control and risk management procedures |
The Risk Committee meets on the same schedule as the Executive Committee. Any project submitted to the Executive Committee (and therefore giving rise to a financial commitment that exceeds certain thresholds) is first examined by the Risk Committee.
Following the review by the Risk Committee of the risks associated with the project submitted, a memorandum from the Strategy and Climate division reflecting its comments is sent to the Executive Committee.
The Audit & Internal Control Division
The Risk team of the Audit & Internal Control Division is responsible for producing and continuously updating the Groups risk mapping. To this end, it uses all of the risk-mapping work carried out across the Group, in the business segments and in the functional divisions, the results of all audits and internal control activities, the action plans resulting from this work and the monitoring of their implementation, structured feedback, benchmarks and other external information sources, regular interviews with the Groups executive officers, and all information gathered during GRMC meetings and the preparation for these meetings.
3.3.3.3 |
Systems in place |
Risks management systems are implemented in the operational and financial fields. The main risk management systems covering social challenges, health, safety, industrial security, environment, climate change-related challenges and the prevention of corruption are presented in the Statement of Non-Financial Performance (chapter 5).
Regarding financial risks
The management and conditions of use of financial instruments are governed by strict rules, defined by the Groups General Management, which provide for centralization by the Treasury Division of liquidity, interest and exchange rate positions, management of financial instruments and access to capital markets. The Groups financing policy consists in incurring long-term debt at a floating or fixed rate, depending on the Groups general corporate needs, and the interest rate environment, in dollars or euros.
The Groups cash balances, which mainly consist of dollars and euros, are managed to maintain liquidity based on daily interest rates in the given currency. Ceilings are set for transactions exceeding one month, with placements not to exceed 12 months. TOTAL S.A. also has committed credit facilities granted by international banks. These credit facilities, along with the Groups net cash position, allow it to continually maintain a high level of liquidity in accordance with targets set by General Management.
In terms of counterparty risk linked to financial transactions, the Group adheres to a cautious policy, and only makes commitments with institutions featuring a high degree of financial soundness, as assesed based on a multi-criteria analysis. An overall credit limit is set for each authorised financial counterparty and allocated amongst the affiliates and the Groups central treasury entities according to the Groups financial needs. In addition, to reduce market valuation risk on its commitments, the Treasury Division has entered into margin call agreements with its counterparties in compliance with applicable regulations. Moreover, since December 21, 2018, pursuant to Regulation (EU) No. 648/2012 on OTC derivatives, central counterparties and trade repositories (EMIR), any new interest rate swap (excluding cross currency swaps) entered into by a Groups entity is centrally cleared.
The Group seeks to minimize its currency exposure, on the one hand, by financing its long-term assets in the functional currency of the entity to which they belong and, on the other hand, by systematically hedging the currency exposure generated by commercial activity.
These risks are managed centrally by the Treasury Division, which operates within a set of limits defined by General Management.
The policy for managing risks related to financing and cash management activities, as well as the Groups currency exposure and interest rate risks, are described in detail in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements (point 8.7 of chapter 8).
The Group finances its activities either by using its own resources, either by issuing bonds on international markets, or by obtaining financing for certain project from financial institutions and banks.
The Groups financing strategy is based firstly on maintaining significant cash resources allowing it to meet short-term requirements. The Group has established a medium- to long-term debt policy to ensure that cash is available to cover any significant acquisitions or major new projects.
The tightening up of the constraints set by some financial institutions and banks on financing activities linked to the exploration, production and sale of oil and gas could mean that the Group places further emphasis on the diversification towards financial institutions and banks. The Group will continue to rely on the long-term relationships already formed with numerous financial entities.
Regarding risks relating to security
With regard to security, the Group has put in place means to analyze threats and assess risks in order to take preventive measures to limit its exposure to security risks in the countries where it operates. Facing various types of threat, the Group ensures that people and assets are protected efficiently and accountably by conducting expert appraisal, consulting and control activities. In particular, it defines security measures for operational divisions and various entities, ensures that these measures are applied and can also provide expertise in the event of a crisis. It relies on a network of Country Chairs assisted by Country Security Officers and on a continuously updated security framework. The production, updating and distribution of this framework are part of the risk management system.
The Group also deploys policies to retain documents and to protect personal data and the security of its information assets in order to tackle ever-increasing levels of legal and safety-related risks.
Regarding risks relating to information systems security
In order to maintain information systems that are appropriate to the organizations needs and limit the risks relating to information systems security and their data, TOTALs Information Systems Division has developed and distributed governance and security rules that describe the recommended infrastructure, organization and procedures. These rules are implemented across the Group under the responsibility of the various business segments. The Group has an Operational Security Center to detect and analyze information system security events.
To address cyber threats, the Group conducts specific risk analyses permitting the definition and implementation of appropriate security controls concerning information systems. In the event of a cyberattack on the information systems, a cyber crisis management process has been set up within the Group. In addition, cyber crisis management exercises based on specific risk scenarios are organized each year and used for training at the Groups various entities. In order to prevent cyber risks, awareness and training actions are also carried out regularly with the Groups employees.

Regarding risk prevention relating to changes in the regulatory environment and business ethics
Reporting to General Management, with a point of contact on the Executive Committee in the form of the Groups Chief Financial Officer, the Legal Division is responsible for establishing and implementing the Groups legal policy. It coordinates legal activities in close conjunction with the branch legal departments and supports the various Group entities in order to meet their legal needs. The Groups lawyers monitor their specific areas of expertise. The Compliance and Legal Risk Management team is responsible, at Group level, for formulating the corruption and fraud prevention policies, advising on and preventing risks relating to international economic sanctions, devising and overseeing the implementation of the corresponding training programs, as well as coordinating the network of anti-corruption and anti-fraud compliance officers.
Since 2015, the Group has implemented a fraud fighting and prevention program and has established a range of procedures and control systems that help preventing and detecting different types of fraud. This effort is supported by the business principles and values of individual behavior described in the Groups Code of Conduct and other standards applied by the Groups business segments.
The Group has issued a directive for handling incidents of fraud that has been widely distributed to employees, and has created an alert system that any employee can use to report acts including those that may constitute fraud.
The Groups anti-fraud compliance program particularly includes an e-learning module for all Group employees, a guide Prevention and fight against fraud, a map of the risks of fraud in the Group, updated in 2019, a Typological guide of the risks of fraud that includes descriptions of the main risks and was published in 2016, and video campaigns to raise awareness of the major risks of fraud, launched at the end of 2016 and then again in 2018. This program is deployed by the network of fraud risk coordinators in the business segments and operational entities. The role of coordinator is usually performed by the Compliance Officer. Fraud risk analyses are also carried out in the subsidiaries.
For information on corruption prevention, refer to point 5.8.1 of chapter 5.
With regard to international economic sanctions and export control, the Group complies with the applicable regulations, particularly those set out by the European (EU) and American (US) authorities. Internal processes (due diligence, audit and business segment assistance missions, training programs) are used to ensure that the Groups operations are compliant in this area. The Economic Sanctions and Export Control division is a center of excellence serving the Groups operational entities. Its role includes legislative and regulatory monitoring, analyzing all of the Groups strategic transactions and projects in relation to sanctioned countries and ensuring that they comply with EU and US regulations on international sanctions and export control.
A Group policy aimed at ensuring compliance with, and preventing infringement of, competition law has been in place since 2014 and is a follow-up to the various measures previously implemented by the business segments. Its deployment is based, in particular, on management and staff involvement, training courses that include an e-learning module, and an appropriate organization.
Regarding the prevention of conflicts of interest, each of the Groups senior executives completes an annual statement of the absence of conflicts of interest (or, if applicable, declaring any conflicts of interest to which they may be subject). By completing this declaration, each senior executive also agrees to report to his or her supervisor any conflict of interest that he or she has had,
or of which he or she is aware in performing his or her duties. The Conflicts of Interest internal rule also reminds all employees of their obligation to report to their supervisor any situation that might give rise to a conflict of interest.
In order to prevent market abuse linked to trading on the financial markets, the Group applies a policy based in particular on internal ethics rules that are regularly updated and distributed. In addition, the Groups senior executives and certain categories of employee, in light of the positions they hold, are asked to refrain from carrying out any transactions, including hedging transactions, on TOTAL shares or ADRs and in collective investment plans (FCPE) invested primarily in Total shares (as well as derivatives related to such shares) on the day on which the Company discloses its periodic result publications (quarterly, interim and annual), as well as during the 30 calendar-day period preceding such date. An annual campaign specifies the blackout periods and rules applicable to those affected.
To mitigate the risks of third parties infringing its intellectual property rights and the leak of know-how, TOTAL protects its rights under research partnership agreements negotiated by the Groups intellectual property specialists, the terms and conditions of which are consistent with the Groups industrial and commercial strategy. The Group has a policy of filing and maintaining patents, monitors technological developments in terms of freedom of use, and takes, when necessary, all appropriate measures to ensure the protection of its rights.
In addition, since some of its employees have access to confidential documents while performing their duties, TOTAL has adopted internal rules concerning the management of confidential information. The Groups intellectual property specialists also carry out awareness-raising activities with Group employees, so that they are better informed about restrictions that may apply to the use of information and data.
Regarding risks relating to partnerships management
The procedures for selecting the Groups partners (joint-ventures and suppliers) and managing the different stages in the life cycle of each partnership are governed by structured internal frameworks, applied by all TOTAL entities.
In order to ensure that the process of selecting future partners for the creation of a joint company and/or the performance of a joint project is robust, the Groups framework includes the conduct of due diligence relating to the partners HSE, technical, legal and financial activities and operating methods. A corruption risk analysis is also carried out.
The agreements signed with these third parties are mainly drafted by multi-disciplinary negotiation teams. Training programs, at Group and business segment level, ensure that the necessary knowledge and skills are transferred to ensure that contracts are correctly prepared, activities are monitored and the Groups interests are represented within the partnership.
The relevant operational entity puts in place the structure required to monitor and manage the partnership.
Partnerships signed with third party suppliers are managed under the Groups dedicated procurement system (structure, rules and tools). This system includes a supplier evaluation and qualification process, and the monitoring and coordination of contract performance (refer to point 5.10 of chapter 5).
Finally, regular audits specified in the partnership agreements (joint-ventures and suppliers) complete the system.

3.3.4 |
Main characteristics of the internal control and risk management procedures relating to the preparation and processing of accounting and financial information |
Accounting and financial internal control covers the processes that produce accounting and financial data, and mainly the financial statements processes and the processes to produce and publish accounting and financial information. The internal control system aims to:
|
conserve the Groups assets; |
|
comply with accounting regulations, and properly apply standards and methods to the production of financial information; and |
|
guarantee the reliability of accounting and financial information by controlling the production of accounting and financial information and its consistency with the information used to produce the control panels at every appropriate level of the organization. |
At Group level, the Finance Division, which includes the Accounting Division, the Budget & Financial Control Division and the Tax Division, is responsible for the production and processing of accounting and financial information. The scope of the internal control procedures relating to the production and processing of financial and accounting information includes the parent company (TOTAL S.A.), and all fully consolidated entities or entities whose assets are under joint control.
Refer to point 4.1.2.3 of chapter 4 for a description of the role and the missions of the Audit Committee. These missions are defined by Directive 2014/56/EU and regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 regarding statutory audits.
3.3.4.1 |
Production of accounting and financial information |
Organization of the Financial function
Dedicated teams implement the accounting and financial processes in the areas of consolidation, tax, budget and management control, financing, cash positions and information systems. The entities, business segments and General Management are respectively responsible for accounting activities.
The Accounting Division, which is part of the Finance Division, is responsible for drawing up the Consolidated Financial Statements and manages the Groups network of accounting teams.
The tax function made up of a network of tax experts in the Holding, the business segments and the entities, monitors changes in local and international rules. It oversees the implementation of the Groups tax policy.
Management control contributes to the reinforcement of the internal control system at every level of the organization. The network of management controllers in the entities and the business segments is supervised by the Budget & Financial Control Division. This department also produces the monthly control panel, the budget and the long-term plan for the Group.
The Treasury Division implements the financial policy, and in particular the processing and centralization of cash flows, the debt and liquidity investment policy and the coverage of currency exposure and interest rate risks.
The Information Systems Division makes decisions on the choice of software suited to the Groups accounting and financial requirements. These information systems are subject to developments to reinforce the task separation system and to improve the control of access rights. Tools are available to make sure that access rights comply with the Groups rules in this area.
Consolidated Financial Statements process
The Accounting Division, which reports to the Finance Division, prepares the Groups quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements according to IFRS standards, on the basis of the consolidated reporting packages prepared by the entities concerned. The Consolidated Financial Statements are examined by the Audit Committee, then approved by the Board of Directors.
The main factors in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements are as follows:
|
the processes feeding the individual accounts used to prepare the reporting packages for consolidation purposes are subject to validation, authorization and booking rules; |
|
the consistency and reliability of the accounting and control data are validated for each consolidated entity and at each appropriate level of the organization; |
|
a consolidation tool, supervised by the Accounting Division, is used by each consolidated entity and the Group. It guarantees the consistency and reliability of the data at each appropriate level of the organization; |
|
a consolidation reporting package from each entity concerned is sent directly to the Accounting Division. It is used to optimize the transmission and the completeness of the information; |
|
a corpus of accounting rules and methods is formally defined. Its application is compulsory for all the consolidated entities in order to provide uniform and reliable financial information. This framework is built according to IFRS accounting standards. The Accounting Division centrally distributes this framework through regular and formal communication with the business segment managers, formal procedures and a Financial Reporting Manual that is regularly updated. In particular, it specifies the procedures for the booking, identification and valuation of off-balance sheet commitments; |
|
new accounting standards under preparation and changes to the existing framework are monitored in order to assess and anticipate their impacts on the Consolidated Financial Statements; |
|
an accounts plan used by all the consolidated entities is formally set forth in the Financial Reporting Manual, specifying the content of each account and the procedures for the preparation of the reporting packages for consolidation purposes; |
|
the account closing process is supervised and is based mainly on the formalization of economic assumptions, judgments and estimates, treatment of complex accounting transactions and compliance with established timetables announced through Group instructions disclosed to each entity; |
|
in particular, the processes applicable to the preparation of the accounts of the acquired entities are reviewed and, where appropriate, amended to integrate them into those applicable to the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Furthermore, the booking in the accounts of the purchase price allocation of each of these entities is based on assumptions, estimates and judgments in line with the Groups business model; |
|
off-balance sheet commitments, which are valued according to the Financial Reporting Manual, are reported on a quarterly basis to the Audit Committee. |

Processing of accounting and financial information
Internal control of accounting information is mainly focused around the following areas:
|
a monthly financial report is formalized by Group and business segment control panels. This report and the Consolidated Financial Statements use the same framework and standards. In addition, the quarterly closing schedule is the same for preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements and financial reporting; |
|
a detailed analysis of differences as part of the quarterly reconciliation between the Consolidated Financial Statements and financial reporting is supervised by the Accounting and Budget & Financial Control Divisions, which are part of the Finance Division; |
|
a detailed analysis of differences between actual amounts and the yearly budget established on a monthly basis is conducted at each level of the organization. The various monthly indicators are used to continually and uniformly monitor the performance of each of the entities, the business segments and the Group, and to make sure that they are in keeping with the objectives; |
|
an annual reconciliation between the parent company financial statements and the financial statements based on IFRS standards is performed by entity; |
|
periodic controls are designed to ensure the reliability of accounting information and mainly concern the processes for preparing aggregated financial items; |
|
a regular process for the signature of representation letters is deployed at each level of the organization; |
|
an annual control system of the accounts of equity affiliates based on a questionnaire completed by each entity concerned. This system is integrated into the Groups internal control framework; and |
|
the Disclosure Committee ensures the respect of the procedures in place. |
Other significant financial information is produced according to strict internal control procedures.
Proved oil and gas reserves are evaluated annually by the relevant entities. They are reviewed by the Reserves Committees, approved by Exploration & Productions general management and then validated by the Groups General Management. They are also presented to the Audit Committee each year.
The internal control process related to estimating reserves is formalized in a special procedure described in detail in point 2.1.1 of chapter 2. The reserve evaluation and the related internal control processes are audited periodically.
The strategic outlook published by the Group is prepared, in particular, according to the long-term plans drawn up at the business segment and Group levels, and on the work carried out at each relevant level of the organization. The Board of Directors reviews the strategic outlook each year.
3.3.4.2 |
Publication of accounting and financial information |
Significant information about the Group is published externally according to formal internal procedures. These procedures aim to guarantee the quality and fair presentation of the information intended for the financial markets, and its timely publication.
The Disclosure Committee, chaired by the Chief Financial Officer, ensures, in particular, that these procedures are respected. It meets before TOTALs financial results press releases, strategic presentations and annual reports are submitted to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.
A calendar of the publication of financial information is published and made available to investors on the Groups web site. With the help of the Legal Division, Investor Relations ensures that all publications are made on time and in accordance with the principle of equal access to information between shareholders.
Assessment of the system for the internal control of accounting and financial information
The Groups General Management is responsible for implementing and assessing the internal control system for financial and accounting disclosure. In this context, the implementation of the Groups internal control framework, based on the various components of the COSO framework, is assessed internally at regular intervals within the Groups main entities.
Pursuant to the requirements introduced by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company have conducted, with the assistance of members of certain divisions of the Group (in particular Legal, Audit & Internal Control and Corporate Communications), an evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal disclosure controls and procedures, over the period covered by the annual report on Form 20-F. For fiscal year 2019, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
In addition, a specific process is in place for reporting any information related to the Groups accounting procedures, internal control and auditing. This process is available to any shareholder, employee or third party.
Finally, the Consolidated Financial Statements undergo a limited examination during quarterly closing, and an audit during annual closing. Almost all the audit missions in the countries are fulfilled by the members of the networks of the two statutory auditors, who, after having jointly examined all the accounts and the procedures used to produce them, proceed with the annual certification of the Groups Consolidated Financial Statements. They are informed in advance of the process for the preparation of the accounts and present a summary of their work to the Group accounting and financial managers and to the Audit Committee during the quarterly reviews and annual closing. The statutory auditors also perform those internal control audits that they deem necessary as part of their mission to certify the Financial Statements.

Insurance and risk management |
3.4.1 |
Organization |
TOTAL has its own reinsurance company, Omnium Reinsurance Company (ORC). ORC is integrated within the Groups insurance management and is used as a centralized global operations tool for covering the Group companies insurable risks. It allows the Groups worldwide insurance program to be implemented in compliance with the specific requirements of local regulations applicable in the countries where the Group operates.
Some countries may require the purchase of insurance from a local insurance company. If the local insurer agrees to cover the subsidiary of the Group in compliance with its worldwide insurance program, ORC negotiates a retrocession of the covered risks from the local insurer. As a result, ORC enters into reinsurance contracts with the subsidiaries local insurance companies, which transfer most of the risk to ORC.
At the same time, ORC negotiates a reinsurance program at the Group level with oil industry mutual insurance companies and commercial reinsurance markets. ORC allows the Group to better manage price variations in the insurance market by taking on a greater or lesser amount of risk corresponding to the price trends in the insurance market.
In 2019, the net amount of risk retained by ORC after reinsurance was, on the one hand, a maximum of $100 million per onshore or offshore third-party liability insurance claim and, on the other hand, $125 million per property damage and/or business interruption insurance claim. Accordingly, in the event of any loss giving rise to an aggregate insurance claim, the amount of risk retained by the Group would be limited to $225 million per occurrence.
3.4.2 |
Risk and insurance management policy |
In this context, the Group risk and insurance management policy is to work with the relevant internal department of each subsidiary to:
|
Define scenarios of major disaster risks (estimated maximum loss); |
|
Assess the potential financial impact on the Group should a catastrophic event occur; |
|
Help implement measures to limit the probability that a catastrophic event occurs and the financial consequences if such event should occur; and |
|
Manage the level of financial risk from such events to be either covered internally by the Group or transferred to the insurance market. |
3.4.3 |
Insurance policy |
The Group has worldwide property insurance and third-party liability coverage for all its subsidiaries. These programs are contracted with first-class insurers (or reinsurers and oil and gas industry mutual insurance companies through ORC).
The amounts insured depend on the financial risks defined in the disaster scenarios and the coverage terms offered by the market (available capacities and price conditions).
More specifically for:
|
Third-party liability: because the maximum financial risk cannot be evaluated by a systematic approach, the amounts insured are based on market conditions and oil and gas industry practice. In 2019, the Groups third-party liability insurance for any third-party liability (including potential accidental environmental liabilities) was capped at $900 million (onshore) and $850 million (offshore). In addition, the Group adopts, where appropriate, the necessary means to manage the compensation of victims in the event of an industrial accident for which it is liable; and |
|
Property damage and business interruption: the amounts insured vary depending on the sector and on the site and are based on the estimated cost and scenarios of reconstruction under maximum loss situations and on insurance market conditions. The Group purchased business interruption coverage in 2019 for its main refining and petrochemical sites. |
For example, for the Groups highest risks (its North Sea platforms and main refineries or petrochemical plants), in 2019 the insurance limit for the Groups share of the installations was approximately $2.2 billion for the Refining & Chemicals segment and approximately $2.15 billion for the Exploration & Production segment.
Deductibles for property damage and third-party liability fluctuate between 0.1 and 10 million depending on the level of risk and liability, and are borne by the relevant subsidiaries. For business interruption, coverage is triggered 60 days after the occurrence of the event giving rise to the interruption. In addition, the main refineries and petrochemical plants bear a combined retention for property damage and business interruption of $75 million per insurance claim.
Other insurance contracts are bought by the Group in addition to property damage and third-party liability coverage, mainly in connection with car fleets, credit insurance and employee benefits. These risks are mostly underwritten by outside insurance companies.
The above-described policy is provided as an example of a situation as of a given date and cannot be considered as representative of future conditions. The Groups insurance policy may be changed at any time depending on market conditions, specific circumstances and General Managements assessment of the risks incurred and the adequacy of their coverage.
TOTAL believes that its insurance coverage is in line with industry practice and sufficient to cover normal risks in its operations. However, the Group is not insured against all potential risks. In the event of a major environmental disaster, for example, TOTALs liability may exceed the maximum coverage provided by its third-party liability insurance. The Group cannot guarantee that it will not suffer any uninsured loss, and there can be no guarantee, particularly in the event of a major environmental disaster or industrial accident, that such loss would not have a material adverse effect on the Group.

Legal and arbitration proceedings |
There are no governmental, legal or arbitration proceedings, including any proceeding of which the Company is aware that are pending or threatened against the Company, that could have, or could have had during the last 12 months, a material impact on the Groups financial situation or profitability.
Described below are the main administrative, legal and arbitration proceedings in which the Company and the other entities of the Group are involved.
Alitalia
In the Marketing & Services segment, a civil proceeding was initiated in Italy, in 2013, against TOTAL S.A. and its subsidiary Total Aviazione Italia Srl before the competent Italian civil court. The plaintiff claimed against TOTAL S.A., its subsidiary and other third parties, damages that it estimated to be nearly 908 million. This proceeding followed practices that had been condemned by the Italian competition authority in 2006. A global settlement agreement executed on June 17, 2019 by all the relevant parties terminated this proceeding.
FERC
The Office of Enforcement of the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) began in 2015 an investigation in connection with the natural gas trading activities in the United States of Total Gas & Power North America, Inc. (TGPNA), a U.S. subsidiary of the Group. The investigation covered transactions made by TGPNA between June 2009 and June 2012 on the natural gas market. TGPNA received a Notice of Alleged Violations from FERC on September 21, 2015. On April 28, 2016, FERC issued an order to show cause to TGPNA and two of its former employees, and to TOTAL S.A. and Total Gas & Power Ltd., regarding the same facts. TGPNA contests the claims brought against it.
A class action, launched to seek damages from these three companies, was dismissed by a judgment of the U.S. District court of New York issued on March 15, 2017. The Court of Appeal upheld this judgment on May 4, 2018. In September 2019, a Californian city initiated another class action against the same parties based on the same legal ground.
Grande Paroisse
On September 21, 2001, an explosion occurred at the industrial site of Grande Paroisse (a former subsidiary of Atofina which became a subsidiary of Elf Aquitaine Fertilisants on December 31, 2004). The explosion caused the death of 31 people, including 21 workers at the site, injured many others and caused significant damage on the site and to property in the city of Toulouse.
After many years, the investigating magistrate brought charges against Grande Paroisse and the former Plant Manager before the Toulouse Criminal Court. On November 19, 2009, this tribunal acquitted both the former Plant Manager and Grande Paroisse due to the lack of reliable evidence for the explosion. The Court declared Grande Paroisse civilly liable for the damages caused by the explosion to the victims in its capacity as custodian and operator of the plant.
On September 24, 2012, the Court of Appeal of Toulouse convicted Grande Paroisse and the former Plant Manager.
On January 13, 2015, the French Supreme Court (Cour de cassation) fully quashed the decision of September 24, 2012. The case was referred back to the Court of Appeal of Paris, which, on October 31, 2017, convicted Grande Paroisse and the former Plant Manager. Both have decided to appeal this decision, which was dismissed on December 17, 2019, by a decision of the French Supreme Court (Cour de cassation).
A compensation mechanism for victims was set up immediately following the explosion. 2.3 billion was paid for the compensation of claims and related expenses amounts. A 10 million reserve remains booked in the Groups Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2019.
Italy
As part of an investigation led by the Public Prosecutor of the Potenza Court in 2007, Total Italia and also certain Group employees were the subjects of an investigation related to alleged irregularities in connection with the purchase of lands and the award of calls for tenders in relation to the preparation and development of an oil field located in the south of Italy.
Pursuant to a judgment issued on April 4, 2016, the Potenza Criminal Court found four employees to be guilty of corruption, with two of these employees also being found guilty of misappropriation in connection with the purchase of land. The procedure with respect to Total Italia was sent back to the public prosecutor due to the imprecision of the terms of prosecution. The four employees decided to challenge the judgment before the Court of Appeal.
Pursuant to a definitive judgment issued on February 20, 2018 the Court of Appeal of Potenza recorded the termination of the proceedings directed towards the four employees prosecuted for corruption because of the expiration of the statute of limitation.
Pursuant to a judgment issued on July 17, 2018, the Court of Appeal of Potenza acquitted two of the Groups employees prosecuted for misappropriation. On May 28, 2019, the Italian Supreme Court quashed this judgment and the case has been referred to the Court of Appeal of Salerno.
Dispute relating to Climate
In France, TOTAL S.A. was assigned in January 2020 before Nanterres Court of Justice by certain associations and local communities in order to have the Company completing its Vigilance Plan, by identifying in details risks relating to a global warming above 1.5°C, as well as indicating the expected amount of future greenhouse gas emissions related to the Groups activities and its product utilization via third parties. TOTAL estimates that it has fulfilled its obligations regarding vigilance duty.
In the United States, two subsidiaries of the Group have been assigned by certain communities and associations for their liability in climate change before a Californian Court. These two subsidiaries, as well as the 34 other companies and professional associations, are contesting the State Courts reasoning to rule this request.

Vigilance Plan |
3.6.1 |
Introduction |
3.6.1.1 |
Regulatory framework |
In accordance with Article L. 225-102-4 of the French Commercial Code, the vigilance plan (hereinafter referred to as the Vigilance Plan) aims to set out the reasonable measures of vigilance put in place within the Group to identify risks of and prevent severe impacts on human rights, fundamental freedoms, human health and safety and the environment resulting from the activities of the Company and those of the companies it controls as defined in point II of Article L. 233- 16 of the French Commercial Code, directly or indirectly, as well as the activities of subcontractors or suppliers with which it has an established commercial relationship, where such activities are linked to this relationship.
The Vigilance Plan covers the activities (hereafter referred to as the Activities) of TOTAL S.A. and its fully consolidated subsidiaries as defined in II of Article L. 233-16 of the French Commercial Code (hereinafter referred to as the Subsidiaries)(1). It also covers the activities of suppliers of goods and services with which TOTAL S.A. and its Subsidiaries have an established commercial relationship, where such activities are associated with that relationship (hereinafter referred to as the Suppliers)(2).
TOTAL operates in over 130 countries in a variety of complex economic and socio- cultural contexts and in business areas that are likely to present risks that fall within the scope of the Vigilance Plan.
The reasonable measures of vigilance set out in this Vigilance Plan take into account the diversity and the geographic reach of the Groups Activities. As part of its reporting of the implementation of the Vigilance Plan, TOTAL has chosen to illustrate its actions by referring to situations upon which the Group was specifically questioned in 2019.
3.6.1.2 |
Methodology and preparation of the Vigilance Plan |
TOTALs corporate culture has, for many years, been mindful of the impact of TOTALs Activities on health, safety, the environment and human rights.
In formulating its Vigilance Plan, TOTAL was able to rely on a solid foundation of procedures, management and reporting tools, including with respect to HSE and human rights. Experience acquired has contributed to develop further the Vigilance Plan.
Health, safety and the environment (HSE) have long been the object of specific attention at Group level. Given their nature, the Activities give rise to health and safety risks for the Groups employees, the personnel of external contractors, and residents in the vicinity of industrial sites.
In 2016, the Group set up a Group HSE Committee, which includes members of the Executive Committee and is chaired by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The Committees role is to generate momentum at top management level to ensure that safety is a value shared by all. Also in 2016, TOTAL made changes to its internal organization to bring together in a single HSE division, all HSE activities at headquarters and in the business segments. This unified organization is designed to pool existing strengths and expertise and harmonise good practices. In 2018, TOTAL created a unified reference framework, applicable to all business segments: One MAESTRO(3). In practice, TOTAL takes a continuous improvement approach to HSE at every level of the Group. HSE objectives are presented to the Executive Committee every year. One MAESTRO standards, defined at Group level, are implemented by the Subsidiaries through their own HSE management systems.
Human rights and fundamental freedoms are, and have been for many years, at the heart of the Groups operations. Since 2000, TOTAL has adopted a Group Code of conduct. In 2002, TOTAL joined the United Nations Global Compact. In 2010, the Group created a Human Rights Coordination Committee. Following this trend, in 2011 TOTAL notably published a practical human rights guide. In 2013, the Executive Committee examined and validated the Group human rights roadmap, and in 2016, its first human rights briefing paper.

Certain companies, such as Hutchinson, Saft Groupe and SunPower, have set up risk management and severe impact prevention measures specific to their organizations. In addition, for newly acquired companies, reasonable vigilance measures are intended to be implemented progressively during the integration phase of these companies into the Group systems. They do not therefore fall within the scope of the Vigilance Plan for 2019. |
(2) |
In accordance with regulatory provisions, suppliers with which the Group does not have an established commercial relationship do not fall within the scope of this Plan. This Plan reflects the sustainable procurement principles applicable to relationships with Suppliers, but is not aimed at replacing the measures in place at those Suppliers. |

The elaboration of the Vigilance Plan is part of a broader set of work to identify and analyse risks within the Group, including a new Group risk map, drawn up in November 2019. The combined knowledge of the various functions (HSE, human rights, procurement, human resources, societal, security and legal) was drawn upon to ensure an integrated approach.
At the meetings of the European Operational Committee the operational instance of the European Works Council in 2018, Committee members were provided with information on the law on the duty of vigilance and the methods used to prepare the Vigilance Plan, and were given an opportunity to comment.
The Board of Directors reviews the Vigilance Plan and its annual implementation report.
3.6.1.3 |
Dialogue with stakeholders |
TOTAL engages in dialogue with stakeholders at every level of the organization. In accordance with the Groups framework documents on societal matters, stakeholders are identified, mapped out and organized by level of priority according to their expectations and degree of involvement, using internal Stakeholder Relationship Management (SRM+) methodology. This includes the following steps: list the main stakeholders for each Subsidiary and site (depots, refineries, etc.), categorize them and schedule consultation meetings to better understand expectations, concerns and opinions. The outcome of this process is the definition of action plans to manage the impacts of activities and consider local development needs, in order to build a long-term relationship based on trust. This tool allows the Subsidiary to explain its activities to communities and other stakeholders, and to single out potentially vulnerable local populations. It has been deployed in almost all Subsidiaries.
A number of Subsidiaries within the Exploration & Production segment also have in place a network of mediators with local communities, with a view to maintaining a constructive dialogue with neighboring communities. These mediators act as Community Liaison Officers (CLO) and are tasked with establishing an ongoing dialogue with stakeholders on the ground (Stakeholder Engagement), including local authorities and communities and, more broadly, local players in civil society. CLOs are employed by TOTAL, sometimes come from the local communities, speak the local languages and understand the local way of life. They play a decisive role in establishing good relations between TOTAL and its stakeholders and pay close attention to the most vulnerable populations.
A structured dialogue with stakeholders is established and maintained, primarily at local level. Subsidiaries manage local relations with civil society and are encouraged to enter into dialogue with NGOs. The Group also cooperates with external experts specialized in preventing and managing conflict between businesses and local communities. Centrally, relevant divisions of the Holding ensure a continuous dialogue with Group stakeholders. The Civil Society Engagement division manages relations between the Group and civil society, represented notably by
non-governmental organizations (NGOs), as well as large institutions and multilateral agencies (e.g. Global Compact). TOTAL maintains ongoing exchanges with Group employees and their representatives whose role and position allows for privileged interactions, particularly with management. Social dialogue is a key component of the Groups corporate vision. It includes all types of negotiations, consultations or exchanges of information between the Group entities, the employees and their representatives about economic and social issues related to the life of the company. Topics discussed may vary according to each entity, however shared concerns include health and safety, hours worked, compensation, training and equal opportunity. The Group strives to maintain this dialogue at both local and head office levels or centrally. It also takes the form of membership in organizations and the signing of agreements.
In countries where employee representation is not required by law (e.g. Myanmar and Brunei), Subsidiaries strive to set up such representation. A majority of Subsidiaries therefore have employee representatives, most of whom are elected.
At the European level, a European Works Council allows the sharing of information and exchanges on the Groups strategy and social, economic and financial situation, as well as on sustainable development, environmental and societal responsibility, and safety matters. It examines any significant proposed organizational change impacting at least two companies in two European countries and expresses its opinion on this in addition to the procedures initiated before the national representative bodies. An agreement was signed in July 2017. It contains innovative measures to improve dialogue with members of the European Works Council (field safety visits and learning expeditions to discuss the Groups strategy directly on site).
The signature of international agreements also reflect the Groups commitment, including at top management level, to foster dialogue with employee representatives. In 2015, the Group signed a four-year global agreement with IndustriALL Global Union(1) on the promotion of human rights at work, diversity, the dialogue with employees and their representatives and the recognition of health and safety at work. Discussions are ongoing with a view to renewing this agreement in 2020.
In December 2017, TOTAL joined the Global Deal initiative, a multi-stakeholder worldwide partnership whose goal is to encourage governments, companies, unions and other organizations to make concrete commitments to improve dialogue with employees. The Global Deal promotes the idea that effective dialogue with employees can contribute to more decent work and quality jobs and, as a result, to more equality and inclusive growth from which workers, companies and civil society will benefit. In 2019, Global Deal members were invited by the French Minister for Labor, in the context notably of the G7 Social summit, to take part in two working groups: on universal access to benefits adapted to changing needs and risks, and on equal treatment of women and men at work. By sharing its practices with Global Deal companies, TOTAL contributed to the creation of a report titled, Les membres du Global Deal sengagent pour le G7 social (Global Deal members commit to the G7 Social).

3.6.2 |
Severe impact risk mapping |
The mapping work presented below, which includes risks for third parties and the environment, was carried out using the Groups risk management tools.
3.6.2.1 |
Safety, health and the environment |
The Group defines the risk of a severe impact on safety, health or the environment as the probability of TOTALs Activities having a direct and significant impact on the health or safety of employees of Group companies, employees of external contractors(1) and third parties, or on the environment following a large scale pollution or a pollution impacting a sensitive natural environments(2).
TOTAL has developed regular safety, health and environment risk assessment procedures and tools applicable to operate its Activities at various levels (Group, activities and/or industrial sites):
|
prior to investment decisions in industrial projects of the Group, acquisition and divestment decisions; |
|
during operations; |
|
prior to releasing new substances on the market. |
With respect to potential major industrial accidents, analyses are based notably on incident scenarios at the site level, for each of which the probability of occurrence and potential consequences (in terms of severity) are assessed. Based on these parameters, a prioritization matrix is used to determine whether further measures are needed. These mainly include preventive measures but can also include mitigation measures that may be technical or organizational in nature. Each business segment produces, on a yearly basis, an inventory of its identified major industrial accident risks, which is submitted to management/committees in each segment and to an HSE Group Committee once a year, providing a global overview of identified risks and a progress report of action plans launched by the Subsidiaries operating the sites.
This work allowed the Group to identify, analyze and prioritize the risks of severe impacts. These analyses have highlighted the following risks of severe impacts:
|
risks to the safety of people and to the environment resulting from a major industrial accident on an offshore or onshore site. This accident could be an explosion, a fire or a leak resulting in fatalities or bodily harm, and/or accidental pollution on a large scale or on a sensitive natural site, for example well blowout; |
|
risks to the safety of people and to the environment related to the overall life cycle of the products manufactured, and to the substances and raw materials used; |
|
risks associated with transportation, for which the likelihood of an operational accident depends on the hazardous nature of the products handled, as well as on volumes, length of the journey and sensitivity of the regions through which products are transported (quality of infrastructure, population density, environment). |
Climate change is a global risk for the planet and results from various human actions such as energy consumption. As an energy producer, TOTAL seeks to reduce direct greenhouse gas emissions resulting from its operated Activities. In 2019, worldwide greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from the oil and gas facilities operated by TOTAL amounted to 41.5 million tons of CO2e, which is less than 0.1% of the total worldwide emissions of more than 2 55 billion tons per year(3). In addition, TOTAL implements a strategy to tackle climate change challenges and reports on this in detail, notably in its statement of non-financial performance (refer to point 5.6 of chapter 5), in accordance with Article L. 225-102-1 of the French Commercial Code.
3.6.2.2 |
Human rights and fundamental freedoms |
The risks of severe impacts on human rights and fundamental freedoms for TOTAL personnel and third parties were identified according to the criteria defined in a well-established reference document for the mapping of human rights risks, the United Nations Guiding Principles Reporting Framework:
|
severity: the scale of the impact on human rights; and/or |
|
scope: the number of persons affected or who could be affected; and/or |
|
the remediable nature of the impact: the ease with which the corresponding rights of the impacted persons can be restored. |
TOTAL applied the United Nations Guiding Principles Reporting Framework which defines the following process:
|
identify all human rights at risk of being negatively impacted by a companys activities or business relations, by taking into account all relevant business activities and entities in the company and the point of view of the persons exposed to a negative impact; |
|
prioritize potential negative impacts based on their potential gravity (severity and potential extent of the impact and the required remediation efforts) and their probability (while paying particular attention to very severe but unlikely impacts); |
|
explain the conclusions to internal and external stakeholders and check that factors have not been omitted. |
This risk mapping work was carried out by TOTAL in 2016 in consultation with internal and external stakeholders. It included workshops with representatives of key business activities of the Group (human resources, procurement, security, HSE, Ethics Committee, Human Rights Steering Committee) and of Subsidiaries operating in difficult environments or particularly exposed to risks to human rights and fundamental freedoms. A series of interviews was held with independent third parties (Good Corporation, International Alert, Collaborative Learning Project). The participants were able to share return on experience on the ground (dilemmas and controversies faced, proposals for improvements on issues related to human rights and HSE resulting Subsidiary assessments). The questions raised at the Business Ethics Day were also taken into consideration. The results of the local and Groupwide Total Survey an internal opinion poll of employees (Total Survey) regarding their professional situation and perception of the company conducted at local and Group level, were also taken into account. This risk mapping is periodically updated, in accordance with the United Nations Guiding Principles Reporting Framework.
This work allowed TOTAL to identify and analyze human rights issues related to its Activities and to prioritize them according to their saliency i.e. those which were most likely to be negatively impacted by Activities.
The salient risks are thus identified by comparing indicators and information provided by external stakeholders and internal return on experience.
This risk mapping is supplemented by operational mappings such as the CSR risk mapping for procurement by the Group for each category of goods and services. Risk mapping by the security division also takes into account human rights and the VPSHR.

As a result, the following risks of severe negative impacts on human rights and fundamental freedoms were identified:
|
risk of forced labor, which corresponds to any work or service which people are forced to do against their will, under threat of punishment; as well as child labor, which is prohibited for any person aged under 15, or under 18 for all types of work deemed hazardous in accordance with International Labor Organization standards); |
|
risk of discrimination, characterized by unfair or unfavorable treatment of people, particularly due to their origin, sex, age, disability, sexual and gender orientation, or membership of a political or religious group, trade union or minority; |
|
risk of non-compliance with fair and safe working conditions, such as for example the absence of employment contracts, excessive working hours or lack of decent compensation; |
|
risks related to the resettlement of neighboring local communities, resulting from the Group requiring, for some of its projects, temporary or permanent access to land that might result in the physical displacement and relocation of these groups and/or limitation of access to their means of subsistance; |
|
risk of impacts to the right to health of local communities, such as emissions into the air or water, and other impacts generated by the Activities that might have consequences for the health of local communities, their means of subsistence and their access to vital services such as fresh water; |
|
risk of disproportionate use of force, when intervention by government security forces or private security companies is necessary to protect the Groups staff and facilities. |
Dialogue with local stakeholders and feedback from the field described above also contribute to the identification of risks of severe impacts on human rights (refer to point 3.6.1.3 in this chapter).
In 2019, TOTAL updated its procedures to analyze risks of severe impacts on human rights and fundamental freedoms (which takes into account the country, activities and types of raw materials or purchased products and services). This work was done with a specialized consultant, and included workshops with internal and external stakeholders. It took into account international country risk indicators established by a third party consultant. The resulting new procedure will be deployed in 2020. The goal is to update potential risks of severe impacts on human rights, continuously improve the management framework of said risks, and define priority action plans at a local level. The procedure will offer a support to Subsidiaries located in geographic areas at higher risk of severe impacts on human rights.
3.6.3 |
Action principles and organization |
The Group has defined in its referential framework principles which reflect the Groups values, and aim at preventing severe impacts on human rights and fundamental freedoms, health, safety and the environment (the Action Principles). When the legal provisions applicable to Activities provide less protection than the Groups Action Principles, TOTAL strives under all circumstances to give precedence to the latter, within the constraints of applicable regulations.
3.6.3.1 |
Organization |
The Group has a three-tier organization: Corporate, business segments and operational entities. Each tier is involved in and accountable for identifying and implementing measures in the Vigilance Plan deemed appropriate within the scope of the entity in question.
The Action Principles are driven by the Executive Committee.
The Ethics Committee is the guarantor of the implementation of the Code of Conduct. Its chairman, who reports to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TOTAL, presents an annual ethics report to the Governance and Ethics Committee.
The People & Social Responsibility divisions coordinate action in relation to Social Responsibility at Group level and respond to the concerns of internal and external stakeholders. They include:
|
The HSE division includes the industrial health, safety, environmental and operational societal activities of the Group. Within the division, the HSE Departments of the Exploration & Production, Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power, Refining & Chemicals |
and Marketing & Services segments are notably responsible for supporting the implementation of the Groups HSE policy. Specific expert teams deal with the following areas: major risks, human and organizational factors, environmental and societal issues, transportation and storage, crisis management and pollution prevention, standards and legislation, audits and return on experience. The Group has set up an HSE Committee chaired by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and made up notably of members of the Executive Committee and HSE Directors. Its mission is to ensure that safety is a shared value. |
|
The Civil Society Engagement division is tasked with developing relations with civil society and driving the Groups initiatives for societal progress. In this division, the Human Rights Department supports the Groups operational personnel with its expertise in implementing the Action Principles relating to human rights and fundamental freedoms. This division also forms the link between the Group and civil society and is in charge of relations with non-governmental organizations (NGOs), major institutions or multi-lateral agencies at Group level. |
|
The Group Human Resources division has, in particular, the role of defining the human resources strategy and policies of the Group in accordance with the business challenges and the One Total company project. In line with the multiple situations encountered in the field, it coordinates the diffusion and roll-out of the new policies to support the various human resources departments in the Groups business segments. It is also tasked with coordinating the Groups social relations policy, chairing the European and worldwide committees and negotiating within this scope. |

The Security division is responsible for the protection of people, facilities and information, and pays particularly close attention to the protection of people and property, by conducting analyses and offering advice. |
|
A dedicated cross-functional Subsidiary, Total Global Procurement, coordinates management of supplier relationships and provides in particular purchasing services of Groups goods and services, whether for categories of products or services specific to one business activity or categories shared between several business activities(1). |
The Strategy and Climate division supports the Groups governing bodies and in particular is in charge of integrating climate into the Groups strategy. It structures the implementation of the Groups action with respect to climate change, while working with the operational divisions of the Groups business segments.
This corporate organization acts in support of the business segments and Subsidiaries in the operational implementation of the Action Principles.
Within the business segments services and advice are offered to Subsidiaries to assist them in the operational implementation of Group requirements.
Depending on their size, type of activities and the risks to which they may be exposed, the Subsidiaries may have dedicated personnel for HSE, societal, human resources, ethical, security and procurement issues.
3.6.3.2 |
Code of Conduct Human rights |
TOTALs Vigilance Plan is based primarily on the Groups Code of Conduct(2), which defines the Groups values, including safety and respect for others, and their application to human rights, the environment, health and safety.
It is regularly updated, the last update dates back to 2018.
The Code particularly sets forth the Groups compliance with the following international standards:
|
the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; |
|
the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights; |
|
the principles set out in the International Labor Organizations fundamental conventions; |
|
the principles of the United Nations Global Compact; |
|
the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises; |
|
the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights, or VPSHR. |
The Code of Conduct, which can be accessed on the Groups website, is aimed at all employees and external stakeholders (host countries, local communities, customers, suppliers, industrial and commercial partners and shareholders).
The provisions of the Code of conduct pertaining to human rights are specified in the procedures of the relevant functions concerned. The requirements relating to the implementation of VPSHR in the conduct of security operations are thus detailed with regards to risk assessment, preliminary verifications, formalization of the relationship with security providers, training and management of possible incidents. Likewise, for procurement, the process of qualification and assessment of Suppliers is detailed in terms of risk analysis, evaluation criteria, audits and monitoring of the relationship with Suppliers. The societal requirements applicable to the Subsidiaries are also detailed, specifically with respect to the evaluation of the societal context, the regular dialogue with the stakeholders, the management of potential impacts, and the management of complaints.
3.6.3.3 |
Safety, health and the environment |
TOTAL conducts its operations on the basis of its Safety Health Environment Quality Charter (available at total.com). It forms the common foundation for the Groups management frameworks, and sets out the basic principles applicable to safety, security, health, the environment, quality and societal commitment. This Charter is implemented at several levels (head office and Subsidiaries). Group directives and rules define the minimum requirements expected. General specifications, guides and manuals are available as a tool to implement these directives and rules. The Subsidiaries incorporate these requirements into their own management systems, whilst taking into account local specificities and regulatory requirements. The Groups framework is available to all employees.
Since 2018, an HSE reference framework common to all the business segments has progressively been rolled out in order to give greater overall consistency to the Groups operations, while taking into account the specificities of each business segment. This reference framework, which is named One MAESTRO (Management and Expectations Standards Toward Robust Operations), applies to all the Groups operated sites as defined in point 5.11 of chapter 5 (scope of One MAESTRO).
One MAESTRO is structured around ten fundamental principles : (1) leadership and management commitment, (2) compliance with laws, regulations and Group requirements, (3) risk management, (4) operational accountability, (5) contractors and suppliers, (6) expertise and training, (7) emergency preparedness, (8) learning from events, (9) monitoring, audit and inspection, (10) performance improvement.
In 2010, the Group also introduced the TOTAL Golden Rules of safety at work. This has been widely circulated within the Group and outlines the fundamental rules which must be scrupulously observed by all personnel, whether employees or the staff of external contractors, in all countries and business segments in which the Group is active. The aim of the Golden Rules is to define simple, easy-to-remember rules based on situations reflecting a number of occupational accidents. These rules cover the following subjects:
(1) |
Present in more than 130 countries, the Group currently works with a network of more than 100,000 suppliers. |
(2) |
SunPower has its own code of conduct and ethics. |

In addition, everyone, irrespective of their level in the organization, is authorized to interrupt work in progress, if they notice a high-risk situation, by using their Stop Card.
3.6.3.4 |
Fundamental principles of procurement |
The relationship between the Group and its Suppliers is based on adhesion to the Fundamental Principles of Purchasing(1) that are consistent with the principles laid down in the Code of Conduct.
The Fundamental Principles of Purchasing lay out the commitments that TOTAL expects from its suppliers in the following areas: respect for human rights at work, protection of health, safety and security, preservation of the environment, prevention of corruption, conflicts of interest and fraud, respect for competition law, as well as the promotion of economic and social development.
The requirements specified in this document must be communicated to Suppliers and included in or transposed in all procurement contracts. These principles are accessible to all suppliers in French and English on TOTALs website.
Example: Use of the Stop Card
The Stop Card is a plastic-coated card, signed by the manager of the entity or site. It grants its holder the authority to intervene and stop work in progress, if he/she notices high-risk actions or situations, or situations that may lead to an accident, with a assurance that no disciplinary action will be taken as a result, even in the intervention turns out to have been unnecessary.
If an action or situation seems hazardous for one or more people, a facility or the environment, the Stop Card provides means of intervening. Uses of the Stop Card can range from a simple question to check that no risks are present, to interrupting the work in progress.
This interruption offers an opportunity to exchange with the colleagues involved (members of staff and their supervisor) with a view of finding a solution to the perceived problem. If necessary, changes are made to the way of working before resuming the work in progress.
If the problem cannot be solved immediately, the work is suspended, pending the implementation of suitable measures.
3.6.3.5 |
Internal control framework |
The Group consistently ensures that an internal control framework, based on the referential of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) is in place.
TOTAL has a Group reference framework that is supplemented by a series of practical recommendations and return on experience. Like the Groups organization, this framework has a three-tier structure: at Group level, the REFLEX Group framework (including One MAESTRO) and the technical framework set out by the Group Technology Committee, frameworks for each business segment, and for each significant operational entity.
3.6.4 |
Assessment procedures |
The Group has defined procedures to assess its Subsidiaries and Suppliers, including in collaboration with independent bodies, which help identify and prevent risks of severe impacts on human rights and fundamental freedoms, health, safety and the environment. Staff training, particularly of managers, is the necessary complement to assist the Subsidiaries in the implementation of the TOTAL Action Principles (refer to 3.6.5 in this chapter).
3.6.4.1 |
Procedures for assessing subsidiaries |
HSE assessments
Assessment of the implementation of the HSE framework involves self-assessment by the Subsidiary and HSE audits by experts from the Group HSE division.
Subsidiaries must undertake a self-assessment at least every two years.
The Audit unit of the HSE division conducts an HSE audit on operated sites at least every five years, according to an audit protocol. These audits deal with a set of activities and facilities governed by a single HSE management system. They address notably: management involvement,
compliance with applicable rules, risk management, individual involvement at every level, relationships with suppliers present on the Subsidiarys site, skills, preparations for emergency situations, return on experience, self-assessment by the Subsidiary and the continual improvement process. The Groups HSE audit protocol is based on the One MAESTRO framework and includes the requirements of the international standards ISO 14001:2015 (environmental management) and ISO 45001:2018 (occupational health and safety). The audit protocol is applied in full during self-assessments and according to a risk-based approach during audits. The goal is to identify potential gaps in the implementation of the rules by the Subsidiaries and to enable them to define and implement improvement actions. The progress of improvement actions is reported to management at the appropriate level in the management chain. The status of actions taken following audit observations beyond a defined severity level is reported to the business segment and HSE divisions every semester.
The HSE division defines the rule and reporting guide and ensures the implementation of the standards for the consolidation of data, provided by the Subsidiaries, related to the Group greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Assessments regarding human rights and fundamental freedoms
The Group appoints a service provider specialized in ethics and human rights assessments to check the proper application in the Subsidiaries of the principles included in the Code of Conduct. These assessments include criteria relating to human rights and fundamental freedoms. As part of the process, a panel of employees and external stakeholders of the Subsidiary is questioned to understand how its Activities are perceived locally. The content of the assessment is adapted to each Subsidiary and may address issues such as the involvement of Subsidiary management, employee awareness of the Code of Conduct, employee working conditions, supplier selection procedures, security measures taken or proactive collaboration with local stakeholders. Following the assessment, the Subsidiary defines and implements an action plan, and a monitoring procedure is put in place.
At a project level, TOTAL conducts assessments of the impacts on human rights and fundamental freedoms of the Groups activities in sensitive situations (including according to criteria relating to human rights risks in the relevant country) with independent organizations specialized in human rights and fundamental freedoms, or in the prevention and management of conflicts between corporations and local communities. These assessments take account of the salient issues identified by the Group (refer to point 3.6.2.1 in this chapter).
Security, which is identified as a potential salient risk in the map of the risks of severe impacts on human rights, is subject to risk assessment processes at an entity and project level. The Security division is notably tasked with ensuring the implementation of TOTALs commitments to enforce the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights (VPSHR, a multi-stakeholder initiative that TOTAL joined in 2012, involving governments, companies and associations, that addresses relations with government or private security forces). As part of this process, the Subsidiary undertakes an assessment of risks in relation to both security and human rights. In addition, a VPSHR self-diagnostic tool has been developed to enable Subsidiaries to assess their own implementation of the VPSHR and to identify areas of improvement. This tool measures the Subsidiarys commitment to VPSHR, personnel training and relations with government security forces and private security companies.
Finally, an annual self-assessment questionnaire enables measurement and evaluation of the level of implementation of their societal initiative on the ground. Actions involving dialogue, impact management and the contribution to socioeconomic and cultural development are recorded and analyzed.
3.6.4.2 |
Procedures for assessing suppliers |
With respect to Suppliers, a risk mapping related to procurement, by category of goods and services, was established in 2012 on the basis of questionnaires completed by the managers of each procurement category. This risk mapping is periodically reviewed.
Qualification procedures for Suppliers of goods and services have been harmonized at Group level. A new internal framework was published in 2018. The qualification process includes a review of human rights at work, environment and health and safety. A risk analysis is carried out for each Supplier, followed where deemed necessary by a detailed assessment. The detailed assessment includes questionnaires on each of the aforementioned issues and, if needed, results in an action plan, a technical inspection of the site by employees or an audit of working conditions carried out by a consultant. A new qualification software was developed in 2019 and will gradually be rolled out in over 100 countries.
The Group put in place a Supplier assessment procedure with a view to identifying and preventing risks of severe impacts on human rights and fundamental freedoms, health and safety. The Group periodically audits Suppliers to assess working conditions during the life of the contract. A targeted annual audit plan is defined every year, which includes Suppliers put forward for audit by Subsidiaries based in countries that have been identified as having a high risk of human rights violations.
Crude oil and petroleum product purchasing by Trading & Shipping, gas and electricity purchasing by the Subsidiary Total Gas & Power Ltd, and the purchases made by the Subsidiaries of Hutchinson, Saft Groupe and SunPower are subject to supplier qualification processes specific to their organizations.
At the Subsidiary level, this qualification process may be complemented by specific verifications of compliance of a Supplier with the VPSHR. When private security companies are used to protect a Subsidiary, preliminary checks are made. They include a review of the recruitment process, technical and professional training (notably on the local context, the use of force and the respect for the rights of individuals), working conditions and the companys reputation. In addition, the proposed Suppliers employees are screened for previous conviction or implication in human rights violations.
Where deemed necessary in certain contexts (notably palm oil, vetting), dedicated teams may be set up to conduct the qualification process.
Palm oil Suppliers are screened to ensure that the palm oil supplied is certified as sustainable according European Union criteria (EU ISCC certification). These criteria include a review of carbon footprint, the preservation of forests, good use of land and respect for human rights. In addition to this mandatory certification, Suppliers must have signed the Fundamental Principles of Purchasing and be members of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO).
The Vetting department of Trading & Shipping defines and applies the selection criteria for the tankers and barges used to transport the Groups liquid petroleum or chemical and gas products. This review aims notably at ascertaining the proposed Suppliers technical qualities relative to internationally recognized industry practices, the crews experience, and the quality of the shipowners technical management. A green light from the Vetting department, granted strictly on the basis of technical data and independently of business considerations, is required for all ships and barges chartered by a Subsidiary, third parties transporting cargo belonging to the Group, or ships and barges which stopover at a terminal operated by a Subsidiary. Audits of shipowners also allows the Group to assess the quality of the technical management systems implemented by operators, crew selection and training, as well as the support provided to vessels.
TOTAL is actively involved in the Ship Inspection Report Program (SIRE) which was set up by the Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) to allow the sharing of inspection reports amongst international oil and gas companies, thus contributing to the continuous improvement of safety in oil and gas shipping.

Actions to mitigate risks and prevent severe impacts |
Specific actions are taken to mitigate risks and prevent severe impacts, drawing mainly on the Action Principles and assessments described above.
They are also based on return on experience from HSE incidents and include training of Group employees, programs to raise the awareness of Suppliers, the provision of information on product risks, as well as measures to manage emergency and crisis situations.
With respect to climate, which is a global risk for the planet resulting from all human activities, the Group has structured its approach in order to integrate climate challenges into its strategy and has defined specific objectives within different timeframes, in order to control and reduce the GHG emissions resulting from its Activities (Scope 1 and 2). These are reported in section 3.6.8.4 of this chapter.
3.6.5.1 |
Return on experience |
The Group implements a process for the analysis of accidents, irrespective of their nature, with the method used and the level of detail involved depending on the actual or potential level of severity of the event.
A return on experience may include an analysis of the incident including of its severity and result in communications to the relevant stakeholders or a wider population within the Group. The purpose of sharing return on experience is to ensure that Subsidiaries are informed and share lessons learned from the incident.
By way of example, a near-miss with a high severity potential undergoes an analysis similar to that of a severe accident. This analysis is considered an essential factor of progress. Depending on its relevance to the other Group entities, it may trigger a safety alert and the communication of a formal return on experience.
The Groups corporate culture encourages, more generally, formal and informal return on experience on all matters relevant to of the Vigilance Plan.
3.6.5.2 |
Awareness and training of Group employees |
The Group has a variety of communication and information channels in place, enabling all employees of TOTAL S.A. and its Subsidiaries to have access to the Action Principles defined by the Group in relation to human rights, fundamental freedoms, health, safety and the environment.
HSE training courses, incorporating on-line educational programs as well as technical training tailored to the various Activities, are offered to all Group employees. Dedicated programs in the fields of health, safety and the environment which may be general or specific to a type of activity or subject area have been deployed within the Group. Depending on a persons level of responsibility and experience in the Group, he/she will for example attend: HSE Leadership for Group senior executives, HSE training for managers, and training for new recruits.
These training courses will include from 2020 training actions related to climate challenges dedicated to all Group employees. A specific module will also be set up for Group senior executives and managers.
In the Subsidiaries as well as head office, teams regularly engage in crisis management exercises, the scenarios of which are based on potential incidents identified in the risk analysis. Dedicated training (initial and refresher training) also contributes to preparing employees for potential crises including in relation to the various roles played by members of the crisis team (for example crisis team leader, liaison with operations, experts and communicators etc.).
Dedicated human rights and fundamental freedoms training programs have been set up for senior executives, site directors and those employees most exposed to these issues. Awareness-raising sessions are organized regularly for employees, for example as part of an ethical assessment of a Subsidiary. Specific training modules explaining the Groups ethical commitments and the Fundamental Principles of Purchasing have also been developed for the Groups procurement teams.
Every year, the Security division organizes a training session on the VPSHR for security managers in the Subsidiaries. Local visits are also organized to deliver in-person training in the Subsidiaries.
Each employee receives a copy of the Code of Conduct to raise awareness of the Groups values, including safety and respect for others, which is respect for human rights. The Code of Conduct is also available on the Groups website in fifteen languages. Every new employee is required to read the Code of Conduct (and must certify to having done so) and the TOTAL induction day includes an initiation to ethics and human rights.
Internal channels of communication, such as intranet websites accessible to most employees, are also used to raise employee awareness of matters pertaining to human rights. Dedicated webpages on ethics and the respect for human rights present the priority areas identified by the Group. These webpages have several goals: explain the Action Principles, present how the Group implements these principles and to help employees implement the ethical conduct expected of them in their everyday work.
Events such as the annual Business Ethics Day are used to raise awareness among employees of TOTAL S.A. and its Subsidiaries.
A guide to Human rights is also made available to employees and stakeholders. Its goal is to raise employees awareness on issues relating to human rights in the oil and gas industry (at work, with local communities and in relation to security) and it provides guidance as to the appropriate behavior to adopt in their activities and relationships with stakeholders. It includes case studies, specifically on Myanmar, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. This guide serves as a reminder of the Groups commitments in relation to human rights. It offers proposed answers to common questions and concerns about human rights, notably child labor, forced labor, discriminatory practices and collective negotiations.
The Practical guide to dealing with religious questions, published in 2017, aims to provide practical solutions to issues raised by Group employees and managers worldwide. It draws on the experiences of the business segments in various countries and encourages listening, dialogue and respect to find solutions suited to the local context. A number of internal and external experts contributed to this document, including representatives of various religious communities. This guide has been translated into ten languages. It is available on the intranet and is also distributed at training courses and on the Business Ethics Day.
The HSE Division organizes the Groups World Safety Day and World Environment Day, which aim to bring teams on board and raise awareness of ways implement the Action Principles. In addition, periodic HSE communications are published throughout the year. Safety culture is reinforced on a day-to-day basis through safety moments at the beginning of meetings or before hazardous operations, consisting of a short discussion to reiterate the key safety messages and align participants with mutual commitments.

Awareness and training of Suppliers |
The Fundamental principles of purchasing constitute a contractual commitment by Suppliers and are a means to raise awareness amongst Suppliers on HSE and human rights issues. They are communicated to Suppliers at the time of their integration in the Groups Supplier database. A brochure explaining these principles in detail is also handed out to Suppliers at annual meetings or events such as the Suppliers Day. The Fundamental Principles of Purchasing are also available on the TOTAL website.
Training efforts are also made towards Suppliers, such as a training on responsible security and the VPSHR is given to employees of security service providers. Contracts with these service providers mention compliance with the VPSHR and the need to train their personnel about the VPSHR. Additionally, the Security division may deliver this training directly to security service providers.
Suppliers working on Subsidiary sites are made aware of the risks to health, safety and the environment of the activities of the site. They receive support in the management of risks related to their activities, those of the site and any potential interactions, such as in the work permit process or during site safety inspections.
3.6.5.4 |
Information on product risks |
The Group is careful to comply with regulatory requirements in order to minimize risks associated with petroleum or chemical products marketed by TOTAL throughout their life cycle.
The Group has also defined minimum requirements that apply to the marketing of its petroleum or chemical products worldwide in order to reduce potential risks to consumer health and to the environment. These requirements include the identification and assessment of risks inherent to a product and its usages, as well as the provision of information to consumers. The material safety data sheets (MSDS) that come with petroleum or chemical products marketed by the Group (available in at least one of the languages used in the country) and product labels are two key sources of information.
The implementation of these requirements is monitored by teams of specialist in the Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services segments of the Group. These teams review the safety documentation produced for marketed petroleum or chemical products in order to ensure that they correspond to the usages for which they are intended and comply with applicable regulations. They draft the material safety data sheets, compliance certificates (contact with food, toys, pharmaceutical packaging, etc.), and manage REACH registration where necessary. They also monitor scientific and regulatory developments and keep track of the timely implementation of new sheets (and updates to existing ones) within the Group.
Governance of the process is completed within Subsidiaries of Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services segments by the designation of a product officer to monitor compliance of the market release of his/her entitys products. The networks of product officers are coordinated by the Groups specialist units either directly or via an intermediate regional level in the case of the Marketing & Services segment.
The safety data sheets for oil and gas produced by the Exploration & Production and of Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power Subsidiaries are produced by the Marketing & Services expertise center. The conformity of the marketing process of these products is ensured by the Subsidiary.
Finally, the Group has set up an inter-segment working group to further the harmonization of practices and classifications for products common to the different segments, as well as the development of good practices.
3.6.5.5 |
Responses to emergency or crisis situations |
Crisis management is organized to ensure sufficient preparedness and an efficient response to a crisis or emergency event. The Group has implemented a global crisis management system, based notably on a 24/7 on-call system, a set of unified procedures deployed in the Subsidiaries and on a dedicated crisis management center that makes it possible to manage two simultaneous crises from head office. The framework requires Subsidiaries to have in place plans and procedures for interventions in the event of leaks, fires or explosions and to test them at regular intervals.
3.6.6 |
Whistle-blowing mechanisms |
The Group has several whistle-blowing mechanisms that are open to employees, Suppliers and third parties.
To support employees on a day-to-day basis, the Group encourages a climate of dialogue and trust enabling individuals to express their opinions and concerns. Employees can turn to their line manager, an HR or other manager, their Compliance Officer or their Ethics Officer.
The Groups employees and Suppliers, as well as any other external stakeholder, can contact the Ethics Committee to ask questions or report any incident involving a risk of non-compliance with the Code of Conduct by using a generic email address (ethics@total.com). This system was set up in 2008, in cooperation with the Groups trade unions organizations on a European level. The Ethics Committee is a central structure, in which all business segments are represented. All its members are Group employees with a good knowledge of its Activities and have demonstrated the independence and impartiality necessary for the performance of their duties. The Ethics Committee assures compliance with the Code
of Conduct and ensures its proper implementation. It is assisted in its work by the relevant departments, as well as by a network of local Ethics Officers. The Chairperson of the Ethics Committee reports to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TOTAL. The Chairperson submits an annual report to the Executive Committee and the Governance and Ethics Committee which reports to the Board of Directors. The members of the Ethics Committee are subject to a confidentiality obligation. The Committee ensures the confidentiality of the complaints, which can only be lifted with the agreement of the complainant. The system is supplemented by specific whistle-blowing mechanisms implemented at certain Subsidiaries (SunPower, Hutchinson).
Suppliers can also contact the internal supplier mediator using a generic email address (mediation.fournisseurs@total.com). Available to Suppliers and the Groups procurement teams, the mediators role is to restores dialogue and help find solutions.

The One MAESTRO framework requires the Groups operational entities to deploy procedures to manage stakeholder grievances related to the Subsidiarys activities (excluding business claims). This provides residents and local communities with a preferential channel to voice their concerns and grievances. Handling these grievances locally makes it possible to offer a response to anyone who feels that they have been negatively affected by the Activities and to improve internal processes in order to reduce impacts that may be caused by the Activities. Managing grievances consists of:
|
Informing the stakeholders of this free process; |
|
Receiving and registering grievances; |
|
Acknowledging receipt of the grievances and informing the stakeholders about the follow-up actions; |
|
After any necessary internal research, proposing a means of settling the grievances in collaboration with the stakeholders; |
|
Monitoring the handling of the grievance and analyzing it to see where improvements can be made. |
These mechanisms can also be used to implement the VPSHR. In addition, in the event of an incident, a reporting process requires the Security division to be informed, that an internal analysis be performed to establish the facts resulting in a report. This allows the Subsidiary to re-assess its VPSHR process and to take measures to reduce the risk of incidents.
3.6.7 |
Monitoring procedures |
Multi-disciplinary committees review the implementation of measures within their purview. Indicators are used to measure the effectiveness of the measures, progress made and to identify ways of improvement.
Committees
The Ethics Committee is closely involved in monitoring compliance with the Code of Conduct and can be called upon for advice on its implementation.
The Human Rights Steering Committee is made up of representatives from different departments (including security, procurement and societal) and business segments. It is chaired by the Groups head of Civil Society Engagement. It meets four times a year to coordinate the actions on human rights and fundamental freedoms taken by the business segments and the Subsidiaries, as part of the implementation of the human rights roadmap submitted to the Executive Committee. All country chairs contribute to this monitoring process, notably by acting as the local point of contact for the Security division with respect to compliance with the VPSHR.
Representatives of the Management Committee of Total Global Procurement and of the Civil Society Engagement, HSE and Legal divisions as well as of the Ethics Committee are invited at least once a year to participate to the Responsible Procurement Committee which monitors the implementation of the Groups Responsible Procurement roadmap. The roadmap defines TOTALs guidelines for
2019-2023 in terms of respecting human rights throughout the supply chain, environment and economic development.
The HSE division has set up cross-functional committees of experts, including in the fields of safety, the environment and crisis management, and monitors the ongoing coordination of HSE issues (see point 3.6.8.2 in this chapter).
Reporting
Internal reporting and indicators for monitoring implementation of the actions undertaken in the Group in the areas of human rights, safety, health and the environment is based:
|
for social indicators (including health), on a guide entitled the Corporate Social Reporting Protocol and Methodology; |
|
for safety indicators, on a Group rule regarding HSE event and statistical reporting; a return on experience analysis process identifies, notably, events for which a formalized analysis report is required in order to draw lessons in terms of design and operation; and |
|
for environmental indicators, on a Group reporting procedure, together with activity-specific instructions. |
Consolidated objectives are defined for each key indicator and reviewed annually. The business segments apply these indicators as appropriate to their area of responsibility, analyze the results and set out a plan of action.

This section is primarily intended to present implementation of measures with respect to Subsidiaries, while the implementation of measures specific to Suppliers is described at point 3.6.8.5 of this chapter.
Mapping
As part of the assessment of the local societal context of Subsidiaries, which is based on dialogue with stakeholders (authorities, neighbouring communities, local business players or civil society), the internal Stakeholder Relationship Management methodology (SRM+) is deployed in most Subsidiaries and is being gradually rolled out in recently incorporated or acquired subsidiaries.
Subsidiary assessments
TOTAL carries out different types of assessments:
|
Human rights and ethics assessment of Subsidiaries, in particular regarding the working conditions of TOTAL employees, |
|
Impact assessments to analyze the issues and societal context of industrial projects, |
|
Specific Human Rights assessments, |
|
Subsidiary self-assessments. |
In 2019, human rights and ethics assessments were conducted in seven Subsidiaries representing 2,700 employees (Egypt, Brazil, South Korea, Russia, Nigeria, Cameroon). These entities were identified, in particular, on the basis of criteria related to each countrys human rights risks. Entities were identified according to several criteria, including indicators of levels of risk of human rights violation in each country, the date of the previous assessment of the Subsidiary and the number of alerts received the previous year. These assessments were conducted by Good Corporation(2). They help identify Subsidiaries best practices, allow them to be shared within the Group and identify areas for improvement. For example, recommendations covered supplier relations and support for projects. The Group uses these assessments as an opportunity to verify knowledge of Code of Conduct, to encourage its employees to voice any ethical concerns in a confidential manner

In accordance with Article L.225-102-4 of the French Commercial Code, the report on the effective implementation of the Vigilance Plan is presented below. Since the identification of risks and the prevention of severe impacts on human rights, human health and safety and the environment overlap partially with certain risks covered in the non-financial performance statement (refer to chapter 5), TOTAL has chosen to report below on the implementation of its Vigilance Plan by incorporating certain aspects of its non-financial performance statement although the latter includes risks of varying degrees. |

and report behavior potentially contrary to the Code of Conduct. These assessments confirmed that the Code of Conduct is known by Group employees. The implementation of the Subsidiaries action plans is monitored. Following GoodCorporations assessment in Brazil in 2019, anti-discrimination training helped raise the awareness of more than 200 Group employees.
When a new industrial project is developed, an initial impact assessment is conducted in advance to identify potentially affected stakeholders and to describe and assess the main socio-economic and cultural issues in the impacted area. It is complemented by societal impact assessments that measure and analyze actual and potential impacts, positive and negative, direct and indirect, in the short, medium and long term of the project. In 2019, eight assessments were conducted, seven by Exploration & Production and one by Integrated Gas Renewables and Power (Benin).
In addition to these societal impact assessments, assessments of human rights impacts may also be carried out in higher-risk areas or conflict zones with the support of independent experts, including the Danish Institute for Human Rights, a Danish public non-profit organization. These assessments identify stakeholders, people and communities that may be affected by the project, and particularly those that are vulnerable to human rights impacts, measure the potential positive and negative impacts, propose measures to mitigate negative impacts and measures to maximize the positive impacts. These factors can then be taken into consideration in the definition of the project or the execution of the operations.
As an example in 2019, the Group responded to specific questions raised by external stakeholders in relation to two projects: the Tilenga and EACOP in Uganda and Tanzania, and the acquisition of assets in Mozambique.
Example: Tilenga and EACOP projects, Uganda and Tanzania
The development of the Tilenga project (oil development project in Uganda: crude oil treatment plant, underground pipelines and infrastructures) and the EACOP project (an oil pipeline across Uganda and Tanzania carrying oil to the port of Tanga) involved the purchase of land to build infrastructure. These projects were designed to minimize relocation and ensure that people concerned were informed and involved in the implementation of the projects, and ultimately were able to enjoy satisfactory living and working conditions. These plans are regularly monitored by the Groups project team.
Land acquisition in Uganda by the Ugandan government
The voluntary sale and resettlement process is conducted in line with accepted international standards, including of the IFC (International Finance Corporation - World Bank Group). Affected people are invited to declare their property (lands and crops) in order for an offer of compensation to be proposed by the Subsidiaries contractor. Compensation covers both the land value and subsistence. The amount of compensation must be approved by the Ugandan government.
|
The land value assessment is based on compensation rates established by an independent entity appointed by the Ugandan authorities. Several market studies carried out by the Subsidiary and an independent committee are used. |
|
The crop value assessment is based on compensation rates proposed to an independent entity appointed by the Ugandan government, by the committees of representatives of the Districts residents, and on market studies carried out by the Subsidiary and an independent committee. |
Affected persons may choose between monetary compensation or compensation in kind. For compensation in kind, special attention is paid to the choice of alternative land to ensure that access to infrastructure (main roads, schools, water networks, medical centers) is maintained or improved.
Questions were raised in relation to the cut off date, as part of the land acquisition process, and the proper understanding of this date by the affected population. Indeed, in line with certain international standards(1), a cut-off date for eligibility was established. After that date, no further improvements to land can be taken into account in calculating compensation. However, even after this date, people concerned are encouraged to continue to cultivate their land until receipt of a notice to vacate. Different means were used to give details on the effects of this date (notice boards, radio announcements and local newspapers advertisements). However, following feedback that the cut-off date may have been misunderstood, during the summer 2019, the Subsidiary took additional measures.
Several relocation plans were made in accordance with the progress of the project.
A total of 622 persons, including owners and occupants, were affected by the first relocation plan for Tilenga. Thirty-one opted for compensation in kind: one owner of land without a house and 30 homeowners, who will be rehoused under similar or better conditions. 582 persons opted for financial compensation, the amount of which was determined on the basis of studies by independent experts and approved by the relevant authorities.
Other measures have been implemented to support local communities, and more are planned. A support program (livelihood restoration) has been implemented. This is an ongoing initiative to support people concerned, by proposing training and activities linked to agriculture, supporting families in managing their budget, contributing to the improvement of their quality of life through access to education, health, and water, helping to diversify household income sources by helping individuals acquire skills to pursue opportunities in the oil and tourism industries, etc.
Impact assessments
Environmental and societal impact assessments (ESIA) of the Tilenga and EACOP in Uganda-Tanzania were conducted with external experts. These were widely communicated and made available to stakeholders. These assessments were conducted in accordance with domestic and international standards, including those of the IFC (International Finance Corporation World Bank Group) in particular. They entailed questioning almost 70,000 people in Uganda and Tanzania. The assessments covered environmental aspects, such as biodiversity, water, soil and landscapes, as well as societal aspects, and in particular, local life styles, land and the health and safety of local workers. The ESIAs were approved by the competent authorities.
Dialogue with local stakeholders Community Liaison Officers (CLO) Grievance mechanisms
In 2019 in Tanzania, a team of 30 CLOs conducted more than 2,800 meetings on the EACOP project and interviewed more than 50,000 people in 226 villages and 533 hamlets. In parallel, quarterly meets were held with the regional authorities concerned and a monthly information letter regularly informed the authorities of the status and activities of the project.
In Uganda, a team of 35 CLOs is in permanent contact with local communities.
A grievance mechanism has also been set up at the local level.

A team of archaeologists from the University of Dar es Salam assisted the project teams during the geophysical and geotechnical acquisition, resulting in adjustments to the acquisition zones and unexpected discoveries of pottery shards and flint, which were promising for increasing knowledge of these areas.
Questions raised by NGOs
After being questioned by certain NGOs about the Groups projects in Uganda, in September 2019, TOTAL published its responses on its website, with documents explaining the socio-economic benefits of these projects for Uganda and Tanzania, the information provided to local population and the involvement of local players, the support for the local population and environmental conservation throughout the projects. In October 2019, TOTAL S.A. received a summons to appear before the Tribunal judiciaire of Nanterre (local French civil court), at the behest of two French NGOs and four Ugandan NGOs, regarding the content and the implementation of the Vigilance Plan. On 30 January 2020, the Tribunal judiciaire declared itself incompetent in favor of the Tribunal de commerce (local French commercial court), as requested by TOTAL S.A.
Continuous improvement of internal processes
As part of its approach to continually improve its internal processes, verifications were carried out by TOTAL teams and an independent analysis was conducted in November 2019 at TOTALs request. These revealed that the Subsidiary had followed procedures to mitigate the risks related to access to the land required to build the infrastructures for the Tilenga project.
Example: Mozambique LNG Project
TOTAL finalized the acquisition of a 26.5%(1) interest, previously held by Anadarko, in the Mozambique LNG project in September 2019. A Subsidiary of the Group is the new operator of the Mozambique LNG Project.
Mozambique LNG is the first onshore development of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant in the country.
The Subsidiary is working on the basis of work done by the previous operator and its partners, with the aim of implementing this project in the best interest of all actors concerned, including the government and population of Mozambique.
Context
This project is part of a global plan for economic development and transformation of the region of Cabo Delgado and of Mozambique. It involves many stakeholders, including intergovernmental development agencies. Land acquisitions and the implementation of relocation and livelihood restoration programs for the Afungi peninsulas population are required.
Impact assessments
The societal and environmental impact assessment began in 2011 and was approved by the government of Mozambique in 2014, since then it has been periodically updated.
A first human rights impact assessment was carried out in 2015. A new human rights impact assessment is currently being conducted.
Societal and stakeholder engagement team
The local societal team is made up of more than 100 persons, engaged in the different neighboring communities, including a CLO network which has an excellent local relationship with residents. A grievance mechanism has been put in place. It is accessible and used by local communities.
The HSE division assists the local societal team. An on-site mission was conducted in November 2019, and others are planned in 2020.
Relocation and livelihood restoration plans
The relocation plan was approved by the government of Mozambique in 2014.
This project is monitored by third parties:
|
The government set up a resettlement committee which monitors the project on an ongoing basis. The Mozambique Human Rights Commission is also involved in a monitoring process of the project; |
|
There is also a civil society platform coordinated under the coordination of Mecanismo de Apio a Sociadade Civilas (MASC), a Mozambican organization. This forum will conduct independent monitoring, through visits of the area and meetings with stakeholders, and will issue a monitoring report. The international standards set by the IFC (International Finance Corporation World Bank Group) were presented to the platform, in order to support the capacity building of these organizations regarding large industrial projects. |
The relocation plan is currently being implemented in accordance with the IFC international standards for the management of social and environmental risks.
A village and related facilities (water, electricity, education institutions and healthcare) for around 600 families are currently being built. Approximately 160 families have been resettled to date, and the process will continue in 2020.
In parallel, a livelihood restoration program is ongoing to support impacted households. This support is implemented in collaboration with specialized partners (fishing and farming professional training, other professional skills, etc.).
Access to agricultural land is also being provided to impacted households.
Working conditions
The Subsidiary monitors issues such as workers housing, working conditions, hiring processes and wages. In addition to the Subsidiary personnel, approximately 35 companies (national and international) work on the construction site of the LNG plant, which amounted, at the end of 2019, to about 6 500 workers, of which 90% are Mozambican and more than 1 000 come from neighboring communities. Some positions are offered in priority to local communities.

An ONG report was published on 7 November 2019 raising a number of questions relation to the Balhaf (Yemen) site, operated by Yemen LNG. This company, in which TOTAL holds a 39.62% share, is not controlled by TOTAL, and therefore falls outside the Vigilance Plan. Nevertheless, given that this was reported by the press, TOTAL decided to provide the following clarifications in a press release dated 7 November 2019:
In addition to Subsidiary and industrial project assessments, two types of subsidiary self-assessment are used.
VPHSR self-assessment and risk analysis tools are deployed annually, in particular in the Subsidiaries located in countries identified as being at higher risk.
In the field of societal governance, a self-assessment questionnaire is used to measure the extent of deployment of societal governance in the field. These questionnaires are analyzed by the HSE division in order to adapt the support it provides to Subsidiaries (offers of training, assistance, etc.). In 2019, more than 90% of the Subsidiaries within the One MAESTRO perimeter had used the questionnaire.
Actions to mitigate risks and prevent serious impacts
TOTAL has numerous tools to raise employee awareness of issues related to human rights.
In 2019, the Group organized training tailored to the challenges faced in the field by employees who are particularly exposed to these issues:
|
annual training in human rights for the Groups societal experts, including the Community Liaison Officers (CLOs), at their annual seminar; |
|
annual training for members of the Human Rights Steering Committee (HRSC) by the Danish Institute for Human Rights; |
|
annual training in ethics and human rights for newly appointed senior executives (32 participants in 2019); |
|
as of 2019, a dedicated module is integrated into the e-learning training for the Country Chairs for the Groups 112 representatives worldwide; |
|
two training courses in the United Kingdom on the 2015 UK Modern Slavery Act, in particular for in-house lawyers of that countrys subsidiaries, in partnership with SHIFT (36 participants). |
In response to the key issues related to the Groups activity, specific training courses on Human Rights at the workplace have been developed, such as the e-learning course on the Fundamental Conventions of the ILO, launched by a member of the Executive Committee on Business Ethics Day in 2019, the year of the ILOs 100th anniversary. This training is mandatory for all the Groups management personnel.
Specific training is given to managers and operational personnel in charge of societal matters, such as The basics of societal engineering (two sessions in 2019, with 30 participants), or advanced and specific training modules Exploration & Production operations (two sessions in 2019 in Nigeria with 20 trainees).
In certain situations, intervention by government security forces or private security providers might be necessary to protect Subsidiary staff and assets. In order to prevent any misuse of force, the Groups requirements include the training of employees and security staff.
When government security forces are deployed to ensure the protection of the Groups staff and assets, an ongoing dialogue is maintained with the representatives of national or regional authorities in order to raise their awareness on the need to respect the VPSHR and encourage them to sign memorandums of understanding that comply with these principles. The Group promotes the VPSHR requirements to the private security companies it hires in connection with its activities. These companies incorporate them, for example, through the training they provide to security staff.
TOTAL organizes training sessions and awareness-raising actions dedicated to the VPHSR for its employees and stakeholders, and more particularly, on the risk of misuse of force. At the 2019 Business Ethics Day, the Security division organized presentations about the VPSHR to raise awareness amongst TOTALs employees.
In 2019, the Security division gave a VPSHR seminar to 27 security employees worldwide.
In addition to this seminar, there were training courses at the Subsidiaries for private security companies (PSC) and awareness-raising activities for governmental security forces (GSF). These activities organized by each Subsidiary took place, for example, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (people trained: 563 PSC and 189 GSF), in Uganda (people trained: 51 PSC), in Papua New Guinea (people trained: 13 PSC and 27 GSF), in Gabon (people trained: 110 PSC) and in Angola (people trained: 458 PSC). The Security division also helped the Subsidiaries develop training adapted to the local context. In addition, the subsidiaries may take additional local VPSHR initiatives. For example, a Subsidiary in Nigeria produced a VPSHR training video that has since been widely distributed to other Subsidiaries facing the same types of complex situations.
The annual Business Ethics Day is organized by the Subsidiaries all over the world. In 2019, the Business Ethics Day was held in December on International Human Rights Day. The theme of the event was Speak Up, in an effort to combat all forms of discrimination in the workplace. 2,000 people logged into a specially organized chat session and more than one hundred questions were asked.
Whistle-blowing mechanisms
TOTAL has set up several levels of whistle-blowing mechanisms that cover the entire Group, or are specific to certain projects.
In 2019, the Ethics Committee handled almost 190 referrals (internal, external, anonymous) in relation to compliance with the Code of Conduct. 50% of these reports were about questions related to human resources. Approximately one third of the cases result in corrective measures. Irrespective of whether the referral is well founded, mediation may be necessary. When the Ethics Committee observes a breach of the Code of Conduct, management draws the necessary conclusions and sanctions may be imposed in keeping with the applicable law and the procedures negotiated locally with staff representatives (examples include verbal reminders, written warnings, suspension or dismissal). In parallel, a new tool to centralise statistics gathered by the network of ethics officers was launched in 2019. It covers referrals that are handled locally and is currently being deployed.
The Subsidiaries have also developed mechanisms to manage grievances raised by external stakeholders. Deployment is being rolled out throughout the Group.
|
At Exploration & Production for example, the Bolivian subsidiary made changes to its grievance management system in 2019 as part of a continual improvement process. Strict deadlines were introduced to analyze the grievances, based on the average processing time: 30 days for simple cases, and 45 days for complex cases, which are handled by the grievance management committee. 27 complaints were registered in the year, of which five through this committee. All the registered complaints were processed and resolved in the course of the year. A plan to inform the stakeholders of the procedure was also drawn up, with a new, graphically styled brochure that illustrates the steps to be followed to access the mechanism. |
|
At Refining & Chemicals, grievance management systems are in place on all the ISO 14001-certified platforms, and local residents are involved in searching for solutions to control the impacts of activities. |
|
At Marketing & Services, a kit has been developed to help Subsidiaries set up dedicated grievance mechanisms that are separate from the business grievances circuit. In particular, it contains a recap of the useful internal documents, with the direct intranet links, an explanation |

of steps to be followed to set up a grievance management system in a Subsidiary, to identify the internal contributors, etc. |
Incidents related to the implementation of the VPSHR are quickly reported to the Security division, and a report is compiled after internal analysis to assess the facts and to determine the measures to be taken to reduce the risk of future incidents.
Monitoring procedures
At regular intervals, a human rights roadmap is presented to the Executive Committee, highlighting the priority improvement areas. The 2019-2020 roadmap was presented to the Executive Committee in April 2019. The Human Rights Steering Committee is responsible for monitoring the implementation of this roadmap. For each specialty or business segment, the roadmap addresses questions of governance (for example, an internal procedure to be updated), new training to be developed, the prioritization of salient issues in a given specialty or segment, dialogue with stakeholders (for example, by appointing and training CLOs), risk assessment (for example, in the impact assessments of new projects), preventive and remediation actions, monitoring and communication. The Human Rights Department and the Ethics division rely on a network of Ethics officers (104 worldwide at the end of 2019) in charge of promoting the values set out in the Code of Conduct among employees working in Subsidiaries and ensuring that the Groups commitments are correctly implemented at the local level.
Regarding the VPSHR, TOTAL took part in follow-up meetings with the other members of the initiative as part of the process of continual improvement. In February 2019, TOTAL published its 2018 VPSHR report, which contains information on the implementation of VPSHR in Subsidiaries worldwide, and reviews progress made. The information set out in the report is based on annual reporting organized by the Security division that brings together the results of a VPSHR questionnaire, and of the risk and compliance analyses for each Subsidiary operating in a sensitive context. It contains examples of action taken to raise awareness and process incidents. The 2019 VPSHR report will be published in 2020. In April 2019, at the 13th forum on responsible mineral supply chains, organized by the OECD in Paris, TOTAL shared its experience of implementing the VPSHR.
3.6.8.2 |
Health and safety |
This section is primarily intended to present implementation of measures with respect to Subsidiaries, while the implementation of measures specific to Suppliers is described in 3.6.8.5 of this chapter.
Subsidiary assessments
In addition to HSE self-assessments by Subsidiaries at least once every two years, the Group also audits sites operated by Subsidiaries at least once every five years. Based on an analysis of repeated findings, auditors pay specific attention to global risk management, how risks are taken into account in operations, and the involvement of management.
Actions to mitigate risks and prevent serious impacts
Prevention of major industrial accidents
For the Groups operated Activities, accident risk management systems are in place from the early stage of design and construction of facilities or any modifications to these, as well as during the conduct of activities. They also cover control of integrity of the installation over time as well as the effective and appropriate management of accidents if these do, nevertheless, occur.
As part of the risk prevention of major industrial accidents, with regard to the design and construction of facilities, the Group has defined technical standards which include applicable statutory requirements and refer to good industry practices.
In addition to applying these standards, the Group implements a policy for the management of the risk of major industrial accidents in order to minimize the potential impacts associated with its Activities. This policy provides for an analysis of the risks related to the Groups industrial operations at each operated site, based on incident scenarios for which the probability of occurrence and the severity of the consequences are assessed. Based on these parameters, a prioritization matrix is used to determine whether further measures are needed. These mainly include preventive measures but can also include mitigation measures and may be technical or organizational in nature.
The construction of the Groups facilities is entrusted to qualified contractors that undergo a demanding internal selection process and ongoing monitoring. In the event of a modification to a facility, the Groups rules define the management process to be adopted.
With regards to the management of operations and integrity of 3 facilities, the Group has defined rules to prevent specific operating risks that have been identified either by means of risk analyses or by feedback from the Group and industry. For works in particular, the preliminary risk analysis may lead to the establishment of a permit to work, the process of which, from preparation to closure, is defined. The Groups rules also provide a process to manage the integrity of facilities, which includes preventive maintenance, facility inspections, identification of safety critical equipment for special monitoring, management of anomalies and downgraded situations, as well as regular audits. These rules are part of the Groups One MAESTRO reference framework. Operational teams receive periodic training with a view to controlling operations, in the form of companionship or in-person trainings.
In addition to support from the Major Risk division, the Group requests Subsidiaries operating sites with the potential for a major industrial accident to identify an integrity function to manage this transverse process.
HSE training
Preventive actions in the field of health, safety and the environment require all employees to adhere to the Groups safety policies. To this end, the Group provides training intended for various target groups (new arrivals, managers, senior executives and directors) in order to establish a broad-based, consistent body of knowledge that is shared by all:
|
Safety Pass: these safety induction courses were started on January 1st, 2018, for new arrivals within the Group. Various courses exist depending on the position and cover the Companys main HSE risks, the risks linked to specific activities on site as well as those linked to the workplace. The theoretical content is supplemented by practical life-saving training sessions; |
|
HSE for Managers is aimed at current or future operational or functional managers within one of the Groups entities. Sessions are offered on all continents where TOTAL operates. In 2019, seven sessions, including four held internationally, brought together more than 287 managers; |
|
Safety Leadership for Executives is intended for the Groups senior executives. Its objective is to give senior executives the tools to communicate and develop a safety culture within their organization. The updated version of this course was validated during pilot sessions held in 2019. Five sessions were attended by more than 85 senior executives in 2019. The target is for all senior executives to have taken the new training within three years. |
In order to ensure and reinforce knowledge of HSE framework documents, a tool designed to evaluate HSE-related knowledge and containing over 3,000 multiple-choice questions was developed in 2018 for use by the Groups HSE managers. This tool makes it possible to assess their knowledge and decide on a suitable training plan, if necessary. In 2019, 125 managers took part in this knowledge assessment, which corresponds to about half of the target population. The goal is to have the entire population assessed within three years.

These trainings are complemented by local actions in the Subsidiaries, which take into account the specificities of their Activities.
In addition to the training measures, the Group HSE division is responsible for regular communication and coordination of HSE-related topics. Each month, central experts and specialists communicate on rules and good practices, both internal and external. In addition, 24 seminars, webinars or symposia involving the Groups Subsidiaries were led by the HSE division in 2019.
On April 26, 2019, TOTAL teams all over the world joined in the World Safety Day, on the theme of Target: zero fatal accidents. The suppliers present on their sites were also involved in this event.
Furthermore, the Group extended its training program on managing risks of major accidents in 2019. The training of operational teams was stepped up. On-site training in the Subsidiaries was added to in-person training provided at head office. For example, in the Marketing & Services business segment, the course on Understanding of Major Risks and Integrity on major risks was attended by more than 500 participants at 44 Subsidiaries between mid-2018 and the end of 2019.
Training on crisis management was followed by 349 persons in 2019. The training was entirely revised in 2019. The new complete course will include a preliminary e-learning module, a two-day in-person training session, a subsequent mobile learning module, as well as a one-day refresher course to be completed later. In addition, a 60-minute flat application was gradually deployed in 2019. It is available on mobile phones, including offline, and allows participants, by going through a training based on a crisis scenario, to revise the essentials learned in the e-learning module and the initial training, in a fun and interactive way. The course ranks the trainees to encourage them to reach the highest possible score, ensuring essential learnings have been assimilated. This application won a prize at the 2019 Mobile Learning Awards, which reward the best mobile training content.
In addition, the Group started to roll out the Incident Management System (IMS) in the Exploration & Production Subsidiaries in 2019. The IMS is a harmonized system for the management of emergency situations. It is described in an IPIECA good practices guide. In 2019, seven Exploration & Production Subsidiaries received training and performed a large-scale exercise implementing the system. A total of 314 employees have been trained in the Subsidiaries and at head office.
Return on experience (feedback) on HSE incidents is regularly collected. A return on experience document describes the HSE incident or the corresponding accident, includes an analysis and recommendations applicable to similar situations. In 2019, 111 documents (return on experience, best practices, alerts) were distributed in the Group. Best practices were also shared externally to help disseminate the safety culture and contribute to the improvement of the energy business segment, for example at the CEFIC (the European Chemical Industry Council), the Ecole Nationale des Mines of Alès, the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP) and at the Bahrain Global HSE conference.
In 2019, TOTAL contributed to the creation and the development of the content of a ToolBox application, available on computers, smartphones and tablets, developed with the Energy Institute and other industry actors. It provides users with lessons learned from different situations and information on safety. The content can be viewed by type of activity or risk.
Monitoring procedures
The Group keeps track of the following health and safety indicators:
|
confinement losses, |
|
safety indicators, including the TRIR (Total Recordable Injury Rate), |
|
the number of serious road accidents, |
|
health indicators. |
The Group reports the number of Tier 1 and Tier 2 losses of confinement as defined by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP)(1). The Group set itself the aim of having fewer than 100 Tier 1 and Tier 2 events in 2019.
This target was comfortably met in 2019. In addition to the 73 Tier 1 and Tier 2 operational events indicated in the table below, the Group recorded 2 Tier 2 events due to sabotage or theft in 2019.

The Groups One MAESTRO framework covers three main areas with regards to personal safety: the prevention of occupational accidents, the prevention of transport accidents, and the prevention of major industrial accidents. It relates to all employees of Subsidiaries, employees of external contractors working on a site operated by one of these Subsidiaries, as well as employees of transport companies under long-term contracts. In all these areas, the safety results are monitored with the same attention for all.
Indicators measure the main results. In addition to its aim of zero fatalities in the exercise of its Activities, the Group has set itself the target of continuously reducing the TRIR(2) and, for 2019, of keeping it below 0.85 for all personnel (Group and external contractors).

The efforts with regard to safety made by the Group over a period of more than 10 years have made it possible to reduce the number of accidents by a factor of four between 2009 and 2019. Following a stabilization in performances observed in 2016 and 2017, the year 2019 saw a 11% reduction in the number of accidents compared to the results for the previous year. This improvement is due to the Groups constant efforts in the field of safety and in particular, to:
|
the implementation of the HSE frameworks, which are regularly updated and audited, |
|
the prevention of specific risks that are particularly liable to lead to accidents, such as handling loads (ergonomics), road transport, foot traffic, |
|
training in and general familiarization with safety issues for all levels of management (world safety day, special training for managers), |
|
the HSE communication work, towards all Group personnel, |
|
the introduction of safety objectives into the compensation policy for Group employees (refer to point 5.3.1.2 in chapter 5). |
The SIR raise between 2018 and 2019 is explained by an increase in accidents with a number of days off more than 30 days especially in the M&S segment and a decrease in the number of accidents with a number of days off less than 10 days especially in the Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power segment.
Despite these measures, four fatalities occurred in 2019 among the personnel of contractors, during construction work or maintenance operations in Belgium, France, the United States and South Korea. All were related directly or indirectly to work performed at height: fall from a mobile platform while working on a pipe (Belgium), fall from a work floor following the breakdown of a guardrail (France), fall from a stepladder while disassembling equipment (USA), fall from a roof ongoing repairs (South Korea).
These fatalities have led the Group to update the One MAESTRO rule concerning working at height, and to focus specifically on reaching a new milestone in the prevention of fatal accidents and on achieving Zero fatal accidents in the Group. As they are particularly affected, representatives of contractors took part in the corresponding discussions together with operational employees and Group safety experts. Three high-priority areas have been identified in which the Group intends to strengthen its efforts:
|
the incorporation in the permit to work process of a ritual to be performed prior to undertaking work at the Groups operated sites (Safety Green Light); |
|
the conduct of joint on-site safety inspections together with the contractors; |
|
the intensification of checks on site in order to measure compliance with the safety rules. |
The progressive implementation of these measures at the sites operated by Subsidiaries, accompanied by familiarization campaigns to draw attention to the most widespread risks of fatal injury, started in the final quarter of 2019.
In addition, following a fatal accident associated with the explosion of a reservoir in Egypt in October 2018, the Group rapidly decided to roll out a large-scale accident prevention program focusing on the presumed causes of the accident, in anticipation of the investigation conclusions. Following webinar awareness-raising sessions, special training in the risks associated with work at oil tanks was deployed with the involvement of approximately 3,500 participants from 90 countries. This program ended in mid-2019 with the distribution of a feedback document for immediate and mandatory application throughout the whole of the Group.
In the field of occupational safety, the Group also introduced, in 2010, the document Safety at work: TOTALs Twelve Golden Rules. According to the Groups internal statistics, in more than 32% of severe incidents or near misses with high severity potential in the workplace, at least one of the Golden Rules had not been followed. The correct implementation of these rules, and more generally of all occupational safety procedures, is emphasized during trainings and verified through site visits and internal audits.
The involvement of each employee in identifying anomalies or dangerous situations is an indicator of the employees involvement and vigilance in accident prevention and reflects the safety culture within the Group. The reporting of anomalies and near-misses is strongly encouraged and is monitored (approximately 700,000 per year).
In addition, in 2016, the HSE department created a unit bringing together specialists on high-risk operations (work at height, lifting, high-pressure cleaning, excavations, etc.) in order to consolidate in-house knowledge and relations with contractors. The Group HSE division also includes a unit aimed at providing support for sites to improve their safety culture upon their request.
In the field of road transport, the Group long since adopted a policy intended to reduce the number of accidents by applying standards that are, in some cases, more stringent than certain local regulations. This policy applies to the Groups personnel and contractors. For example, it comprises a ban on telephoning while driving, including with a hands-free set, a ban on using motorized two-wheeled vehicles for business travel, mandatory training for drivers, and the definition of strict technical specifications for vehicles. Additional requirements are defined depending on the level of road traffic risks in the country in question and the nature of the activity. Thus, in countries with high road traffic risks, vehicles are equipped with devices that record driving parameters and the conduct of drivers is monitored. Since 2012, a large-scale inspection program of transport contractors has also been rolled out by Marketing & Services. This calls on independent transport experts who inspect the practices and processes adopted by transport contractors with regard to the recruitment and training of drivers, vehicle inspections and maintenance, route management, and the HSE management system. Depending on the results of the inspection, the transport contractor may be included in or excluded from the list of transporters approved by the Group. This program is gradually being extended to the Groups other business segments as required. Furthermore, a training center exists since 2015 in Radès in Tunisia. It offers transport trainings to the personnel of Marketing & Services Subsidiaries and to transport contractors that are interested.
To measure the results of its policy, the Group has, for many years, been monitoring the number of severe accidents involving its employees and those of contractors. The 27% reduction in the number of serious injuries between 2016 and 2019 is a testimony to the efforts that have been made. In 2019, the number of serious road incidents increased compared to 2018. However, there were no road fatalities.

The projects launched in 2018 on the use of new technologies for the prevention of road accidents were continued in 2019. In Marketing & Services, a new action plan has been introduced covering the fields of the driver behavior, vehicles and preparation for emergency situations. In particular, the decision was taken to outfit more than 2,500 vehicles with fatigue detection systems following conclusive tests performed over a period of several months. In addition, the second part of the SafeDriver video campaign was launched in 2019. The subjects chosen for 2019 were blind spots, driver tiredness and driving in difficult situations.

Example: Improving road safety, positive influence on contractors
Accidents involving trucks transporting TOTAL products account for a significant percentage (14%) of serious high-potential accidents recorded by the Group. The number of road accidents has declined significantly over recent years following the Groups efforts to improve road safety.
Since the Group itself rarely transports its products by road, it decided to liaise closely with its transport contractors to consider means to help reduce the numbers of accidents.
In 2012, the Marketing and Services segment launched a major Transporter Compliance Inspection program (TCI) in Africa and the Middle-East, identified as high-priority areas.
As part of TCI, the efforts of the inspection teams, made up of internal specialists and independent transport experts, led to the identification and disqualification as potential contractors of highest-risk transporters, and the definition of action and improvement plans for transporters qualified as potential contractors. The program defined requirements and good practices, including: regular inspections, monitoring by
|
Subsidiaries of the progress of action and improvement plans, and monitoring of consolidated results. All of which were structured around four pillars: driver management, vehicle management, trip management and HSE management.
The TCI program established a clear roadmap for transport contractors and deployed concrete tools to help improve safety: onboard computers, onboard cameras, vehicle inspection checklists, fleet renewal, partnerships for driver training, a points-based driving license as a pre-requirement to drive for the Group.
In 2017, the program was extended to other Marketing & Services areas (Asia-Pacific, Latin America) and, in 2018, to other business segments of the Group.
The program has yielded results: a clear improvement in the quality of the transporters in the area and a significant drop in the number of fatalities caused by heavy goods vehicles (five-fold drop in five years) as well as serious road accidents involving heavy goods vehicles (three-fold reduction in the Marketing & Services segment since the launch of the TCI program). |

With regard to air transport, a carrier selection process exists to limit the risks relating to travel by Group and contractors employees, if their journey is organized by the Group. This process is based on data provided by recognized international bodies: the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA), the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP), and civil aviation authority recommendations. Airlines that do not have a rating from an international body are assessed by an independent body commissioned by the Group.
With regard to the prevention of occupational health risks, the Group ONE MAESTRO framework provides that Subsidiaries identify and assess risks at the workplace in the short, medium and long term and also provides guidance for implementation. The analysis of these health risks relate to chemical, physical, biological, ergonomic and psychosocial risks resulting in the roll-out of an action plan. In addition, it requires that each Group entity sets out a formal medical monitoring procedure taking into account the requirements under local law (frequency, type of examination, etc.) and the level of exposure of its personnel to the various risks.
To complement this program, the Group has set up an employee health observation committee. The aim is to monitor the health of a sample of employees in order to identify the emergence of certain illnesses and, if applicable, suggest appropriate preventive measures. The data, which is gathered anonymously during medical examinations, covers approximately 10% of Group employees worldwide.
The Group also has a Medical Advisory Committee that meets regularly to discuss key health issues relating to the Groups activities. It decides whether there is a need for additional health protection strategies to be implemented. It consists of external scientific experts and also brings together the Groups senior executives and stakeholders concerned by these issues.
In order to share information on the Groups progress in the area of occupational health, as for previous years, in 2019 the Group organized a day of discussions with the Groups business segments.
The Group has put in place the following indicators to monitor the performance of its program:

This section is primarily intended to present implementation of measures with respect to Subsidiaries, while the implementation of measures specific to Suppliers is described in 3.6.8.5 of this chapter.
Subsidiary assessments
HSE audits, which include the environment, are described in point 3.6.8.2 of this chapter.
The Groups internal requirements state that the environmental management systems of its operated sites that are important for the environment(1) must be ISO 14001 certified within two years of start-up of operations or acquisition: 100% of these 77 sites were compliant in 2019. Beyond these internal requirements, at the end of 2019, a total of 281 of the sites operated by the Group were ISO 14001 certified. In 2019, 7 sites were newly ISO 14001 certified.
Actions to mitigate risks and prevent serious impacts and monitoring procedures
The HSE division and the HSE departments within the Groups entities seek to ensure that both applicable local regulations and internal requirements resulting from the Safety Health Environment Quality Charter and the Groups additional commitments are respected. Group steering bodies, led by the HSE division, are tasked with:
|
monitoring TOTALs environmental performance, which is reviewed annually by the Audit Committee, for which multi-annual improvement targets are set; |
|
handling, in conjunction with the business segments, the various environment-related subjects of which they are in charge; and |
|
promoting the internal standards to be applied by the Groups operational entities. |
Awareness raising and training actions on the environment are included in the HSE actions described in point 3.5.9.2 in this chapter. The 2019 World Environment Day focused on good practices that protect biodiversity on the Groups sites. To mark the occasion, instructive materials were developed to teach employees more about biodiversity.
To prevent accidental pollution risks and, in particular, spills that could impact the environment, TOTAL implements risk management policies. Risk management measures cover the design and construction of facilities, changes to existing facilities, operations and the control of the integrity of facilities over time.
For its maritime and river shipments of hydrocarbons, TOTAL only charters ships and barges that meet the highest international standards. The Group has an internal policy that lays down the process and criteria by which ships and barges are selected (known as vetting). These criteria are based, in particular, on the regulations, best practices and recommendations of the OCIMF(1), and, in Europe, on the European Barge Inspection Scheme - EBIS. Tankers and barges are vetted by a single centralized Group entity. The average age of the Group Shipping divisions time-chartered fleet is approximately six years.
With regard to operated marine terminals, the Group records their physical characteristics and consolidates this data in a global database that forms part of the Marine Terminal Information System (MTIS) of the OCIMF. At the end of 2019, 95% of coastal marine and offshore terminals had submitted their characteristics, thereby making it easier to assess the compatibility of ships with ports of call. Additionally, TOTAL encourages all maritime terminals to use the Marine Terminal Management Self Assessment (MTMSA), the framework recommended by the industry for the self-assessment of terminals and the continuous
improvement of the safety of product transfers. A training course on ship/shore interface management (SSSCL Ship Shore Safety Check List) and cargo transfer operations, developed by the Group in 2016, has been completed by operators of 80% of operated-terminals by the end of 2019.
In order to prepare to manage a major accidental spill efficiently, TOTAL implemented a global crisis management system that is described in point 3.6.6.4 of this chapter.
For the sites operated by the Group exposed to the risk of accidental spills that reach the surface water, this system is supplemented by requirements of the One MAESTRO reference framework. These requirements demand that the oil spill contingency plans be regularly reviewed and tested by the Subsidiaries in exercises. These plans are specific to each site and are adapted to their structure, activities and environment while in line with Group recommendations.
Subsidiaries can call on in-house human and material resources (Fast Oil Spill Team, FOST) and benefit from assistance agreements with the main third-party organizations specialized in the management of oil and gas spills.
For oil and gas exploration & production activities, since 2014, subsea capping and subsea containment equipment that can be transported by air has been strategically positioned at various points of the world (South Africa, Brazil, Norway and Singapore). This equipment provides solutions that are readily available in the event of oil or gas eruptions in offshore drilling operations. From these locations, the equipment can benefit TOTALs operations worldwide. This equipment was developed by a group of nine oil companies, including TOTAL, and is managed by Oil Spill Response Ltd (OSRL), a cooperative dedicated to the response to marine pollution by oil and gas.
TOTAL has also designed and developed its own capping system (Subsea Emergency Response System) to stop potential eruptions in drilling or production operations as quickly as possible. Since 2015, equipment has been installed in Angola, then the Republic of the Congo, potentially covering the entire Gulf of Guinea region. In March 2019, an item of this equipment was deployed and tested at a depth of more than 1,200 m in a large-scale exercise in Nigeria.

In accordance with industry practices, TOTAL monitors accidental liquid oil and gas spills of more than one barrel. Spills that exceed a predetermined severity threshold are reviewed on a monthly basis and annual statistics are sent to the Group Performance Management Committee. All spills are followed by corrective actions aimed at returning the environment to an acceptable state as quickly as possible.

Limitation of the environmental impact
Water, air
The Groups operations generate emissions into the atmosphere from combustion plants and the various conversion processes and discharges into wastewater. In addition to complying with applicable legislation, the Group drew up a guide that the Subsidiaries can use to limit the quantities discharged. More particularly, the Group set itself targets for the reduction in sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions and limitation of discharges of hydrocarbons into water. After analyses have been conducted, the exposed sites can introduce various reduction systems that include organizational measures (such as using predictive models to control peaks in sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions based on weather forecast data and the improvement of combustion processes management, etc.) and technical measures (wastewater treatment plants, using low NOX burners and electrostatic scrubbers, etc.). Today, all the refineries owned exclusively by the Group have this type of system.
For new facilities developed by the Group, the internal rules require impact assessments to be carried out on these emissions and, if necessary, actions must be taken to limit their impact.
In 2010, SO2 emissions reached 99 kt. The Group set itself the target of not exceeding 49.5 kt by 2020; it has met this target since 2017.

SO2 emissions that are likely to cause acid rain are regularly checked and reduced. The decrease in these emissions in 2019 is mainly due to a decrease in activity at refining units and the implementation of a more stringent policy concerning acid gas flaring by the Exploration & Production segment in the United Arab Emirates.
NOX emissions mainly concern hydrocarbon exploration and production activities and are primarily located offshore and far away from the coast. Their impact on air quality is therefore considered to be minor. The increase in 2019 is mainly due to an increase in offshore drilling and logistics activities.

Soil
The risk of contaminated land related to TOTALs Activities is mainly from accidental spills and storage of waste. The Group has drawn up recommendations that the Subsidiaries can use to prevent and contain this contamination. The recommended approach is based on four pillars:
|
preventing leaks, by implementing, as far as possible, industry best practices in engineering, operations and transport; |
|
carrying out maintenance at appropriate frequency to minimize the risk of leaks; |
|
overall monitoring of the environment to identify any soil and groundwater pollution; |
|
managing any contamination from previous activities by means of containment and reduction or disposal operations. |
In addition, a Group rule defines the following minimum requirements:
|
identification of each sites environmental and health impacts related to possible soil and groundwater contamination; |
|
assessment of soil and groundwater contamination based on various factors (extent of pollution inside or outside the sites boundaries, nature and concentrations of pollutants, presence of a vector that could allow the pollution to migrate, use of the land and groundwater in and around the site); |
|
management of health or environmental impacts identified based on the use of the site. |
Lastly, decommissioned facilities operated by the Group (i.e., chemical plants, service stations, mud pits or lagoons resulting from hydrocarbon extraction operations, wasteland on the site of decommissioned refinery units, etc.) impact the landscape and may, despite all the precautions taken, be sources of chronic or accidental pollution. In addition to the appropriate management of waste produced by the dismantling and decommissioning of sites, TOTAL has created a policy of evaluation and management of the risks caused by the pollution of soil and groundwater. For the sites at the end of their activity, remediation operations are determined in accordance with regulatory obligations with an objective of continuing to supervise the sites while favouring the possibility of redevelopment of Group activities (solar, reforestry, etc.). Remediation operations are carried out by specialized entities created by the Group. At the end of 2019, 114 industrial sites that were no longer in operation (excluding service stations) were in the process of remediation.

Sustainable use of resources
Fresh water
The Groups activities, mainly those of Refining & Chemicals, and to a lesser extent those of the Exploration & Production and the Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power segments, may potentially have an impact on, as well as be dependent on, water resources. This is especially true when an activity is located in a water resources sensitive environment.
Fully aware of these challenges, TOTAL implements the following water risk management principles:
1. |
monitor water withdrawals to identify priority sensitive sites and then carry out a risk assessment; |
2. |
improve the water resources management depending on identified needs, by adapting the priority sites environmental management system. |
In order to identify its facilities exposed to the risk of water stress, TOTAL records the withdrawal and discharge of water on all of its operated sites relevant for this indicator and assesses these volumes on the basis of the current and future water stress indicators of the WRI(1) Aqueduct tool. Currently, 9.3%(2) of fresh water withdrawals take place in a global water stress area. For the sites situated in these areas and that withdraw more than 500,000 m³ per year, TOTAL assesses water resources risk levels using, in particular, the Local Water Tool (LWT) for Oil & Gas from the Global Environmental Management Initiative (GEMI). This tool also helps guide the actions taken to mitigate the risks and to make optimal use of water resources on the sites when necessary.
This risk assessment establishes that the activities of the sites operated by the Group only expose the other users of the water to a relatively low risk of water stress. Following this assessment, two sites were identified as being at risk and were reported to the CDP(3): the Grandpuits and Normandie refineries. The risk concerns the supply of water to these sites, which could be cut in order to maintain access to water for priority users.
In 2019, the Group answered the CDP Water survey for the 2018 period and was graded A-. The main indicator used in this reporting is fresh water withdrawal.

Soil
TOTAL uses the ground surface that it needs to safely conduct its industrial operations and, in 2019, did not make extensive use of ground surfaces that could substantially conflict with various natural ecosystems or agriculture.
Sensitive natural environments
Due to their nature, TOTALs activities may potentially be located in sensitive natural environments. The Group is fully aware of this challenge and takes biodiversity and ecosystems into account in its internal standards, the core of which is its Safety Health Environment Quality Charter. As an illustration, for new facilities developed by the Group, its internal standards require the conducting of impact assessment studies that take into account biodiversity and ecosystems and the implementation of actions if necessary. For exisiting facilities, the Group recommended to its Subsidiaires that avoid-reduce-restor-compensate steps be taken. To make this policy more tangible, in July 2018, and within the framework of the Act4Nature initiative, the Group made 16 biodiversity commitments. These are described in the biodiversity brochure available on
the website sustainable-performance. total.com. There are 10 general commitments common to all of the signatory companies and an additional six commitments specific to TOTAL, some of which existed before the initiative.

Governance
In order to make an effective contribution to the climate change issue, TOTAL has put in place an organization and a structured governance. The Group has defined four strategic priorities that address climate change-related issues.
In support of the Groups governance bodies, the Strategy and Climate division structures the implementation of the Groups action with respect to climate change while working with the strategic and operational divisions of the Groups business segments. Progress is monitored through indicators, allowing the Group to adjust its actions.
Oversight by the Board of Directors
TOTALs Board of Directors ensures that climate-related issues are incorporated into the Groups strategy and examines climate change risks and opportunities during the annual strategic outlook review of the Groups business segments. The Board of Directors examines the Groups GHG emissions reduction targets and reviews its performance on an annual basis.
To carry out its work, the Board of Directors relies on its Strategic & CSR Committee, whose rules of procedure were changed in September 2017 then in July 2018 in order to extend its missions to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and to the inclusion of climate-related issues in the Groups strategy.
In view of the importance of climate change challenges, in 2019, the Board of Directors decided to change the criteria for the determination of the variable portion of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officers compensation for 2019 including by applying a quantifiable criterion related to the evolution of GHG emissions (Scopes 1 & 2) on operated oil & gas facilities (refer to chapter 4, section 4.3.2 for details). This criterion complements those introduced in 2016 to better account for the achievements of the Groups CSR and HSE targets. CSR performance is assessed by considering the extent to which climate issues are included in the Groups strategy, the Groups reputation in terms of corporate social responsibility as well as all aspects of the diversity policy.
Role of management
TOTALs Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, in accordance with the long-term strategic directions set by the Board of Directors, implements the strategy of the Group while making sure climate change challenges are taken into account. In particular, he relies on the President, Group Strategy-Innovation, who is a member of the Executive Committee, to whom the Senior Vice President Strategy & Climate, and the Senior Vice President Climate report. The Senior Vice President Climate chairs the Climate-Energy Steering Committee, which mainly includes representatives of Strategy and HSE management from the various business segments. The purpose of this Committee is to structure the Groups approach to climate, in particular to:
|
propose GHG emission reduction targets for the Groups operated oil & gas facilities; |
|
propose a strategy to reduce the carbon intensity of the energy products used by the Groups customers; |
|
monitor existing or emerging CO2 markets; |
|
drive new-technology initiatives, in particular with industrial partners, to reduce CO2 emissions (energy efficiency, CO2 capture and storage, for example). |

Strategy |
|
Climate change is at the heart of the Companys strategic vision. TOTALs approach is based on four axes.
1) Growing in the gas value chains (natural gas, biogas and hydrogen)
To respond effectively to the strong rise in demand for electricity, TOTAL is continuing its development in the gas sector, the CO2 emissions of which are half that of coal when used to generate electricity(1). Gas is also a supplement that is essential to cope with the intermittent supply of renewables and seasonal fluctuations in demand. The growth of natural gas will see a constantly increasing proportion of greener gas in the existing infrastructure network, such as biogas and hydrogen, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The Group has continued its efforts to expand its activities along the entire gas chain, from production to end customer. Upstream, TOTAL has finalized various acquisitions, including Engies LNG (liquefied natural gas) assets and Anadarkos LNG assets in Mozambique, and has launched some major LNG projects, such as Ichthys in Australia and Cameron in the United States. In addition, the Group has proceeded with or benefited from the launch of major developments, like the Arctic LNG 2 project (refer to point 2.3 of chapter 2). TOTAL is the worlds second-ranking(2) operator on this market, selling a volume of more than 34 Mt in 2019.
In distribution, TOTAL has moved into gas fuel for transport activities by acquiring a 25% stake in Clean Energy Fuels Corp.(3), one of the leading distributors of gas fuel for HGVs in the United States, and by signing a contract with CMA-CGM, the first shipping company to equip its transcontinental container ships with LNG-powered engines. In 2018, the Group also entered into a partnership with the Adani Group, Indias largest private conglomerate in energy and gas infrastructure, in order to contribute to the development of the natural gas market. This partnership, which was extended in 2019, illustrates the Groups desire to help countries transition from coal to a more diversified energy mix.
Strengthening the position of gas in the energy mix must, however, be accompanied by a greater focus on control of methane emissions. To preserve the advantage that gas offers in terms of GHG emissions compared to coal for electricity generation, it is necessary to reduce methane emissions associated with the production and transportation of gas. In 2019, methane emissions from facilities operated by the Group for its Upstream hydrocarbons activities amounted to circa 0.20% of the commercial gas produced(4). The Groups target is to reduce this intensity below 0.20%.
Since 2014, the Group has been a member of the Oil & Gas Methane Partnership between governments and industrial companies for the improvement of tools to measure and control methane emissions set up by the Climate and Clean Air Coalition and promoted by UN Environment and the non-profit organization Environmental Defense Fund. The Group also took several actions as part of the Oil & Gas Climate Initiative and signed the guiding principles on the reduction of methane emissions across the natural gas value chain(5).
2) Developing a profitable low-carbon electricity business
TOTALs position is growing on the unregulated part of the low-carbon electricity value chain (i.e., excluding the transportation of electricity), from electricity generation generated from renewables or gas to storage (batteries, hydrogen) and sale to end customers. As demand for electricity is expected to grow in the coming decades, TOTAL plans to invest $1.5 to $2.0 billion per year. In 2018, the Group made strategic acquisitions, including Direct Énergie and its subsidiary Quadran, respectively renamed Total Direct Énergie and Total Quadran, thereby stepping up its presence in renewable energy (wind, solar and hydropower and in biogas).
In 2018, TOTAL acquired four combined-cycle natural gas power plants in France with a global capacity of 1.6 GW (refer to point 2.3 of chapter 2 for further information on these acquisitions).
The Group aims to hold an installed gross production capacity of renewable electricity in excess of 25 GW by 2025, of which 10 GW in Europe. In 2019, this capacity was approximately 3 GW.
In distribution, following the acquisition in 2018 of the French specialist in smart recharging solutions, G2Mobility renamed Total EV Charge, the Group has diversified its electric mobility offer. TOTAL aims to operate 150,000 charging points on private or public parking lots in Europe by 2025.
Example: Electric vehicles, Netherlands
TOTAL was awarded Europes largest concession contract for electric vehicles charging by the Metropolitan Region Amsterdam Electric (MRA-Electric). Under this agreement, TOTAL will install and operate up to 20,000 new public charging points in the Netherlands, in the three provinces of North-Holland, Flevoland and Utrecht(1). This new contract intends to address the fast growing demand for public Electric Vehicle (EV) charging points in the Netherlands. This EV charging network shall cover a population of 3.2 million inhabitants and around 15% of the current Netherlands EV charging demand. As part of this concession contract, the electricity supplied by TOTAL to the EV charging network will be 100 % sourced from renewable power (solar, wind, ) and produced in the country.
|
TOTAL has also launched a range of fluids for electric and hybrid vehicles.
As an electricity supplier, the Group aims to serve almost eight million customers by 2025.
3) Avoid expensive oil, reducing emissions at our facilities and promoting sustainable biofuels
The Group foresees a long-term stagnation, or even a decline, in the demand for oil and is, therefore, concentrating on low break-even oil assets.
Additionally, TOTAL is taking steps to reduce CO2 emissions from its operated facilities. A dedicated task force bringing together different skills in the Group was set up in 2019. The Group has set itself a target of reducing GHG emissions from its operated oil & gas facilities from 46 Mt of CO2 to less than 40 Mt of CO2 between 2015 and 2025.

Improving the energy efficiency of the installations is an essential part of this effort. The Group aims to improve its energy efficiency by an average of 1% per year over the 2010-2020 period, at a time when exploration is becoming increasingly complex. This indicator is described in point 3.6.8.4.3 of this chapter. TOTAL also uses appropriate architectures and equipment and introduces technological innovations. For example, on offshore production barges, offshore platforms and onshore facilities, heat recovery systems on gas turbine exhausts have been installed, thereby avoiding the need for furnaces or boiler systems.
Finally, the incorporation of biofuels can help reduce CO2 emissions from road and air transport. According to European standards, they reduce CO2 equivalent emissions by at least 50% through their complete life cycle, in comparison with the equivalent fossil fuels(1). As a pioneer in biofuels for more than 20 years, TOTAL is now one of Europes major actors, with 2.5 Mt blended sustainable biofuels(2) in 2019. On a worldwide scale, the Group contributed to the incorporation of 3.6 Mt of sustainable biofuels. In addition, TOTAL produced 0.24 Mt of sustainable biofuels in its refineries in 2019. With the start of production at the La Mède biorefinery in 2019, with a capacity of 0.5 Mt per year of hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), the Group has a market share of over 10% in Europe in HVO production.
For more than 10 years, TOTALs R&D teams have developed technologies that have broadened the range of usable resources, while also meeting the need for sustainability. The consortium BioTFuel is working on, for example, the development of lignocellulose (plant waste).
4) Developing businesses that contribute to carbon neutrality
The preservation and restoration of natural carbon wells (forests, wetlands, etc.) and carbon capture and storage (CCUS) will be key to achieving carbon neutrality in the second part of the 21st century.
TOTAL has launched a new activity based on preserving and restoring the capacity of ecosystems to act as carbon sinks. This activity is owned by a business unit created in 2019 that is dedicated to investments in natural carbon sinks, made up of environmental and agronomy experts, with an investment budget of $100 million per year from 2020 onwards, and with a target of 5 MtCO2 of sustainable storage capacity per year by 2030. In addition, as part of the Total Foundation program, the Total Foundation is currently conducting projects in forest preservation and restoration (refer to point 5.10 of chapter 5).
On the other hand, CCUS will be essential for several industries, especially those that emit massive amounts of CO2 due to the nature of their business (cement, steel, etc.). TOTAL allocates significant resources to this area by dedicating up to 10% of the Groups R&D budget to it. Several projects made significant progress, including Northern Lights (Norway), a project in which the Group participates alongside Equinor and Shell. TOTAL is also a partner of the Net Zero Teesside project (UK), together with the OGCIs investment fund and several other industry players(3).
TOTAL also stepped up its R&D program in 2019 by entering partnerships with the National Carbon Capture Center in the United States and IFPEN in France. The Group has also launched a development study for a major pilot industrial scale project in Dunkirk, a project to produce methanol from CO2 and hydrogen in Germany with the start-up Sunfire, and a feasibility study of an industrial system to capture and reuse the CO2 produced by the LafargeHolcim cement plant in the United States(4).
Sector initiatives and international framework
TOTAL is involved in various international initiatives on the main challenges raised by climate change. Indeed, tackling climate change requires cooperation between all actors, from both public and private sectors.
Thus, TOTAL responded, in 2014, to the call of the UN Global Compact, encouraging companies to consider a CO2 price internally and publicly support the need for such a price via regulation adapted to the local context. In particular, TOTAL advocates the introduction of a balanced, progressive international agreement to prevent distortion of competition between industries or regions worldwide. Drawing attention to future constraints on GHG emissions is crucial to changing the energy mix. TOTAL therefore promotes the setting of a worldwide price for each ton of carbon emitted, while ensuring fair treatment of sectors exposed to carbon leakage (as defined by the EU). In addition, TOTAL is working with the World Bank as part of the Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition (CPLC). In June 2017, TOTAL became a founding member of the Climate Leadership Council, an initiative that calls for the introduction of a carbon dividend, with a redistribution mechanism that pays dividends to the entire population.
In 2014, TOTAL was actively involved in launching and developing the Oil & Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI), a global industry partnership. At year-end 2019, this initiative involved 13 major international energy players. Its purpose is to develop solutions for a sustainable low emissions future. Launched in 2017, the OGCI Climate Investments fund, which has access to over $1 billion over 10 years, invests in technology that significantly cuts emissions. Examples of investments include a large-scale industrial CO2 capture and storage project (Net Zero Teesside Project), methane emission monitoring services by satellite (GHGSat), by aircraft (Kairos Aerospace) or by drone (SeekOps Inc.) and a technology that incorporates CO2 as a raw material in the production of polyols used in polyurethanes, which are plastics that have multiple uses (Econic Technologies).
The Group also plays a role in various international initiatives that involve the private and public sectors to bring about (non-exhaustive list):
|
carbon pricing within Caring for Climate - United Nations Global Compact, and the Paying for Carbon call; |
|
the end of routine flaring of gas associated to oil production within the World Banks Zero Routine Flaring by 2030 initiative; |
|
greater transparency, while taking into account the recommendations of the G20 Financial Stability Board on climate, and of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD); and |
|
the development of new state-of-the-art energy companies, since 2017 within the Breakthrough Energy Coalition (BEC), a group of investors created by Bill Gates in 2015, and since 2016 within the Breakthrough Energy Ventures, a $1 billion fund created in 2016 by the BEC. |
The list of trade associations of which TOTAL is a member and the lobbying Ethics Charter that governs these memberships are published on the website www.total.com. The Group cooperates with these associations mainly on technical or scientific subjects, but certain associations sometimes make public statements on climate change. In 2019, TOTAL assessed the 30 main trade associations to which it belongs in order to check that they are in line with the Groups stance on the climate. This alignment was reviewed according to six key points: their scientific position, the Paris Agreement, carbon pricing, the role of natural gas, the development of renewable energies and the development of CCUS. Following this review, TOTAL decided not to renew its membership of the American Fuel & Petrochemical

Manufacturers association. TOTAL remains a member of three associations (the American Chemistry Council, the American Petroleum Institute and the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers) identified as being partially aligned, ito advocate internally for changes in their position. TOTAL t is prepared to reconsider its membership in the event of continued disagreement.
In November 2019, TOTAL wrote to the US agency in charge of the environment (US-EPA), through a public consultation process, to oppose the projected lowering of regulatory requirements on methane emission control in the oil and gas industry. The Group supports policies which aim to reduce methane emissions from natural gas production and consumption.
TOTAL also actively participates in the debate on climate issues, thanks especially to its long-term partnerships with university chairs, such as the Climate Economics Chair at Paris-Dauphine University, the climate change research program of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)(1), and Toulouse School of Economics. TOTAL also offers training and makes presentations at several universities, thereby taking part in the debate.
Targets and metrics to measure climate-related risks and opportunities
TOTAL has set targets and introduced a number of indicators to steer its performance.
The Groups climate targets:
|
reduce the GHG emission (Scopes 1 & 2) on operated oil & gas facilities of 46 Mt CO2e in 2015 to less than 40 Mt CO2e in 2025. |
|
reduce routine flaring(2) by 80% on operated facilities between 2010 and 2020 in order to eliminate it by 2030; |
|
improve by an average of 1% per year the energy efficiency of operated facilities between 2010 and 2020; |
|
reduce the intensity of methane emissions of facilities operated by the Group for its Upstream hydrocarbon activities below 0.20% of the commercial gas produced; |
|
maintain the intensity of CO2e emissions of facilities operated by the Group for its Upstream hydrocarbons activities under 20 kg CO2e/ boe. |
What has been accomplished:
|
a GHG emission reduction (Scopes 1 & 2) on operated oil & gas facilities from 46 Mt CO2e to 41.5 Mt CO2e between 2015 and 2019; |
|
more than 80% reduction in routine flaring between 2010 and 2019; |
|
more than 10% improvement in energy efficiency between 2010 and 2019; |
|
an intensity of methane emissions around 0.20% of the commercial gas produced in 2019; |
|
an intensity of CO2e emissions below 20 kg CO2e/boe in 2019. |

This data as well as the related risks are also reported to the CDP once a year, and TOTALs response to the CDP(1) Climate Change questionnaire is posted on the Groups website (sustainable-performance.total.com). For its 2019 reporting regarding 2018 activities, the Group received an A-.
Flaring
Reducing routine flaring has been a long-standing target for the Group, which designs its new projects without resorting to it. In addition, TOTAL is committed to putting an end to routine flaring on its operated facilities by 2030. An 80% reduction target was set for 2020 compared to 2010, in other words, an average of 1.5Mm3/d. This target has been met since 2017.
Furthermore, as part of the Global Gas Flaring Reduction program, TOTAL has worked alongside the World Bank for over 10 years to help producing countries and industrial players control flaring of gas associated to oil production.
The decrease in flaring in 2019 is due to better compressor reliability and shorter start-up periods in Africa.
Energy efficiency
One of the Groups performance targets is to better control energy consumption. Since the beginning of 2013, a Group directive has defined the requirements to be met at operated sites using more than 50,000 tons of oil equivalent per year of primary energy (approximately 40 sites). At the end of 2019, all the sites involved reported compliance or had taken steps to comply with this directive. The aim is to ensure that 100% of sites using more than 50,000 tons of oil equivalent per year by the end of 2020 have an auditable energy management system, such as the ISO 50001 standard on energy management(2). A certain number of sites that use less than 50,000 tons of oil equivalent per year have also voluntarily taken measures to become ISO 50001 certified.
Energy efficiency is a key factor for the improvement of economic, environmental and industrial performance. Since 2013, the Group has used a Group Energy Efficiency Index (GEEI) to assess its performance in this area. It consists of a combination of energy intensity ratios (ratio of net primary energy consumption to the level of activity) per business.
The Groups target for the 2010-2020 period is to improve the energy efficiency of its operated facilities by an average of 1% per year. By design, the base value of the GEEI was defined as 100 in 2010 and the target is to reach 90.4 in 2020. This target has been met since 2017.
GHG emissions
The Group has reduced by 50% the GHG emissions (Scopes 1 & 2) from its operated activities since 2005. This reduction was reached notably due to reducing flaring and improving energy efficiency.
In 2019, TOTAL set itself a target to reduce GHG emissions (Scopes 1 & 2) on its operated oil & gas facilities to less than 40 Mt CO2e in 2025.

Mapping
The mapping of severe impacts of the Activities on human rights,fundamental freedoms, health, safety and the environment was supplemented by a risk mapping specific to the Groups procurement, by category of goods and services, with the participation of more than 80 persons (CSR experts and buyers) and the support of AFNOR. As part of its continuous improvement approach, Total Global Procurement worked on its methodology in 2019, with a view to updating in 2020 the previously established map, based on questionnaires completed by the managers of each purchasing category.
Supplier assessment
The Supplier qualification process
The Supplier qualification process was harmonized at Group level in 2017 and a new internal framework was published in 2018. A new IT Supplier qualification tool was developed in 2019 and will gradually be rolled out in over 100 countries. In 2019, over 4,000 of the Suppliers managed by Total Global Procurement in France were included into the application. It is designed to automate and document the supplier qualification process.
The Supplier assessment process
Simultaneously, the Group has set up a Supplier assessment process to identify and prevent risks of severe impacts on human rights, fundamental freedoms, health and safety. Since 2016, the Group conductsi audits on working conditions amongst Suppliers. A targeted annual audit plan is defined every year and includes the Suppliers put forward by the Subsidiaries based in countries that have been identified as having a certain level of risk of human rights violations. Four times more audits were conducted in 2019 than in 2018. Since 2016, these audits have covered a population of close to 80,000 people working on Supplier sites worldwide.
Moreover, TOTAL, BP, Equinor and Shell are continuing their efforts to develop a common collaborative platform to assess the respect for human rights by their suppliers. Together, they seek to encourage the improvement of working conditions in the supply chain. This initiative addresses the United Nations SDG N° 8: to promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.

Example: Procurement of agricultural raw materials
TOTAL produces and markets biofuels partly produced from agricultural raw materials.
All biofuels incorporated by the Group in Europe are certified as sustainable according to European Union criteria (ISCC EU type certification). These certification criteria include a review of sustainability and traceability of the oils (carbon footprint, non-deforestation, proper soil use, respect for human rights). Those criteria apply to the entire production and distribution chain of sustainable biofuels and were strengthened in 2019 as part of the revision of the Directive on renewable energy in transport (RED2). In particular, the European Union caps the use of agriculture raw materials in biofuels to limit changes in land use.
In July 2019, TOTAL started up the La Mède biorefinery in southern France that will produce biofuels from vegetable oils (rape, palm, etc.), waste and residues. The compliance with the sustainability criteria of the oils processed at the La Mède biorefinery is established by an ISCC (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification) type certificate, according to a mass balance demanded by the European Union. TOTAL selects a limited number of suppliers of palm oil and completes the certification with a specific reinforced control system of sustainability and the respect for human rights. In 2019, the Group conducted five human rights audits of its potential palm oil suppliers for the La Mède biorefinery in France. These audits were carried out by independent third parties based on a framework that assesses the implemented system and governance with regards to respecting human rights, working conditions and the rights of communities.
TOTAL has demonstrated its intent to be transparent regarding the origin of every delivery of palm oil purchased for the La Mède biorefinery by publishing the list of plantations and mills attached to the sustainability certificates.
Worldwide, biofuels used by the Group meet sustainability requirements as per applicable regulations.
Finally, pursuant to Rule 13p-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which implemented certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, TOTAL has submitted since 2014 to the Securities and Exchange Commission an annual document relating to conflict minerals(1) sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo or an adjoining country. The document indicates whether, during the preceding calendar year, any such minerals were necessary to the operation or production of a product manufactured (or procured) by TOTAL S.A. or one of its affiliates. The main objective of the rules obligation to publish this information is to prevent the direct or indirect funding of armed groups in central Africa. For more information, refer to TOTALs most recent publication available at: sustainable-performance.total.com or www.sec.gov.
Mitigation and preventive actions
Buyers training
TOTAL has set up several channels of communication to raise employee awareness of the risks and issues related to its supply chain. Training modules explaining the Groups ethical commitments and the Fundamental Principles of Purchasing have been developed for and made available to Group procurement representatives. In 2019, more than 300 buyers were made aware and/or trained on respect for human rights and working conditions by Suppliers.
The Group provides its buyers with supporting materials, such as the Sustainable Purchasing Awareness Cards. These fact sheets cover various topics relating to human rights at work (such as forced labor and child labor, etc.). A set of communication tools intended to help procurement representatives initiate discussions on the Fundamental Principles of Purchasing was also circulated within Total Global Procurement. The materials used in the annual performance review have been revised to include a section on human rights.
In June 2019, the Total Global Procurement seminar was attended by 239 participants (buyers and procurement support functions) and included a focus on responsible procurement. When updating the CSR risk map relating to the Groups procurement, workshops were increase the buyers awareness of the issue of responsible procurement.
The 2019 World Quality Day brought together parties involved in performance improvement to discuss the theme Performance, lets embark all actors at events held simultaneously in Paris, Pau and Copenhagen. Various project managers shared their experiences gained by using lean management tools, and a guest speaker illustrated the use of lean in the early phases of a project. Efforts were also made to raise the participants awareness of issues related to responsible purchasing.
Awareness and training of suppliers
Awareness-raising actions are carried out during meetings with Suppliers, particularly the Suppliers Day event that brings the Groups strategic Suppliers together every two years. During the 2019 Suppliers Day, the Fundamental Principles of Purchasing and the Groups new Code of Conduct were distributed to all participants. Emphasis was laid on responsible procurement in particular.
Every year, the International Procurement Office (TOTAL IPO in Shanghai, China) organizes a compliance day. In 2019, special focus was given to the issue of respect for human rights.

Since 2018, TOTAL has been a member of the United Nations Global Compact platform on Decent Work in Global Supply Chains and, in this capacity, takes part in various workshops that aim to help the member companies of the Global Compact make progress in this area.

Whistleblowing mechanisms
With respect to the development of good practices in business relations, TOTAL has consistently raised its employees awareness of mediation as an alternative method for resolving disputes since 2013. In 2019, an open day for employees of the Group, lawyers and operational staff, enabled participants to learn about the benefits of mediation. A brochure designed to increase awareness of the mediation process is available to all Group employees. In addition, an email address (mediation.fournisseurs@total.com) is available on the TOTAL website to allow the Groups suppliers to contact the dedicated internal mediator, who is tasked with facilitating relations between the Group and its French and international suppliers. The general purchasing terms and conditions also mention the possibility of recourse to mediation.
Monitoring procedures
A Responsible Procurement roadmap, updated in 2019, defines TOTALs outlook for 2019-2023 in terms of respecting human rights throughout the supply chain, environment and economic development. Representatives of the Management Committee of Total Global Procurement, management of the Civil Society Engagement, HSE and Legal divisions as well as the Ethics Committee were invited in 2019 to participate to the Responsible Procurement Committee which is tasked with monitoring the implementation of the Groups Responsible Procurement roadmap.

including in particular the Legal, Finance and People & Social Responsibility Departments. After the sections relevant to their respective duties were reviewed by the Governance and Ethics Committee and the Compensation Committee, the report was approved by the Board of Directors.

(a) |
Excluding the director representing employee shareholders and the director representing employees, in accordance with the recommendations of the AFEP-MEDEF Code (point 9.3). For more information, refer to point 4.1.1.4 of this chapter. |
(b) |
Excluding the director representing employees, in accordance with Article L. 225-27-1 of the French Commercial Code and the director representing employee shareholders in accordance with Article L. 225-23 of the French Commercial Code. |
The Company is administered by a Board of Directors whose 12 members include a director representing employee shareholders elected on the proposal of the shareholders specified in Article L. 225-102 of the French Commercial Code, in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 225-23 of the French Commercial Code (hereafter referred to as the director representing employee shareholders) and a director representing employees appointed by the Central Works Council (replaced since December 2018 by the Central Social and Economic Committee) of UES Amont Global Services Holding, in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 225-27-1 of the French Commercial Code and the Companys bylaws.
Mr. Patrick Pouyanné is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TOTAL S.A. He has served as Chairman of the Board of Directors since December 19, 2015, the date on which the functions of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of TOTAL S.A. were combined (refer to point 4.1.5.1 of this chapter).
A Lead Independent Director has served since December 19, 2015. Her duties are specified in the Rules of Procedure of the Board of Directors (refer to point 4.1.2.1 of this chapter).
Directors are appointed for a three-year period (Article 11 of the Companys bylaws). The terms of office of the members of the Board are staggered to space more evenly the renewal of appointments and to ensure the continuity of the work of the Board of Directors and its Committees, in accordance with the recommendations of the AFEP-MEDEF Code, which the Company refers to. The profiles, experience and expertise of the directors are detailed in the biographies below.
The Board of Directors decided to propose to the Shareholders Meeting to be held on May 29, 2020 a plan to convert TOTAL S.A. into a European company (Societas Europaea or SE). This legal status as a European company, common to all the countries of the European Union and used by a growing number of companies both in France and in Europe, will better reflect the economic and social reality of the Group as well as fully acknowledge its European dimension. The Group has a strong European presence, with activities in 25 European countries, representing more than 60% of its employees and more than 70% of the Groups sales.
The conversion of TOTAL S.A. into a European company will have no impact on the Companys governance, activities, tax affairs, organization, where it is listed or the location of the head office, which will remain in France. The Companys bylaws amended as a result of this conversion project which will be submitted to the Shareholders Meeting to be held May 29, 2020, will also include various adaptations related in particular to the French Law No. 2019-486 of May 22, 2019 on the growth and transformation of businesses, known as PACTE law, particularly with regard to participation of employees in the Companys Board of Directors.

4.1.1.2 |
Absence of conflicts of interest or convictions |
The Board of Directors Rules of Procedure stipulate the specific rules for preventing conflicts of interest applicable to directors in the following terms (refer to point 4.1.2.1 of this chapter for the full version of the Rules of Procedure):
2.5. Duty of loyalty
Directors must not take advantage of their office or duties to gain, for themselves or a third party, any monetary or non-monetary benefit.
They must notify the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Lead Independent Director, if one has been appointed, of any existing or potential conflict of interest with the Company or any Group company. They must refrain from participating in the vote relating to the corresponding resolution as well as from participating in any debates preceding such vote.
Directors must inform the Board of Directors of their participation in any transaction that directly involves the Company, or any Group company, before such transaction is finalized.
Directors must not assume personal responsibilities in companies or businesses having activities in competition with those of the Company or any Group company without first having informed the Board of Directors.
Directors undertake not to seek or accept from the Company, or from companies directly or indirectly connected to the Company, any advantages liable to be considered as being of a nature that may compromise their independence.
7.2. Duties of the Lead Independent Director
5. Prevention of conflicts of interest
Within the Governance and Ethics Committee, the Lead Independent Director organizes the performance of due diligence in order to identify and analyze potential conflicts of interest within the Board of Directors. He informs the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of any conflicts of interest identified as a result. He reports to the Board of Directors in relation to this work.
Pursuant to the obligation to declare conflicts of interest set out in Article 2.5 of these Rules, any director affected by an existing or potential conflict of interest must inform the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the Lead Independent Director.
The Lead Independent Director has performed due diligence in order to identify and analyze potential conflicts of interest. She brought to the attention of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer the potential conflicts of interest that had been identified. The Lead Independent Director was thus consulted in October 2019 by a director about a potential conflict of interest arising due to that directors possible participation on the Board of Directors of an unlisted company in the transport infrastructure sector. Due to the absence of a conflict of interest, this director accepted the office of director that was on offer in this company.
On the basis of the work carried out, the Board of Directors noted the absence of potential conflicts of interest between the directors duties with respect to the Company and their private interests.
To the Companys knowledge, there is no family relationship among the members of the Board of Directors of TOTAL S.A.; there is no arrangement or agreement with the major shareholders, customers or suppliers under which a director was selected, and there is no service agreement that binds a director to TOTAL S.A. or to any of its subsidiaries and provides for special benefits under the terms thereof.
The current directors of the Company have informed the Company that they have not been convicted of fraud, have not been associated with bankruptcy, sequestration, receivership or court-ordered liquidation proceedings, and have not been subject to any incrimination, conviction or sanction pronounced by an administrative authority or professional body, prohibited from managing a company or disqualified as stipulated in item 12.1 of Annex I of EU-delegated regulation 2019/980 of March 14, 2019, over the last five years.
4.1.1.3 |
Plurality of directorships held by directors |

[This] limit [...] does not apply to directorships held by an executive officer in subsidiaries and holdings, held alone or together with others, of companies whose main activity is to acquire and manage such holdings [...] A director should not hold more than four other directorships in listed corporations, including foreign corporations outside of the group.

Diversity policy of the Board of Directors |
The Board of Directors places a great importance on its composition and the composition of its Committees. In particular, it relies on the work of the Governance and Ethics Committee, which reviews annually and proposes, as circumstances may require, desirable changes to the composition of the Board of Directors and Committees based on the Groups strategy.
The Governance and Ethics Committee conducts its work within the framework of a formal procedure so as to ensure that the directors areas of expertise are complementary and that their profiles are diverse, to maintain an overall proportion of independent members that is appropriate to the Companys governance structure and shareholder base, to allow for a balanced representation of women and men on the Board, as well as to promote an appropriate representation of directors of different nationalities. These principles underpin the selection process for directors.
In its composition as of March 18, 2020, the Board of Directors is made up of directors of diverse backgrounds: among its 12 members, 7 directors held executive positions in international groups, 6 have an experience in
public sector and 3 are employees of the Group. Regarding skills, five directors have a deep knowledge of the energy sector and two directors of the transportation sector. Six directors have a recognized expertise in economy and finance and three regarding governance and CSR.
As part of an effort that began several years ago, the composition of the Board of Directors has changed significantly since 2010 to achieve better gender balance and an openness to more international profiles.
Based on its composition as of March 18, 2020, the 12 members of the Board of Directors include 5 male directors and 7 female directors, with 5 nationalities represented.
In accordance with Articles L. 225-27-1 and L. 225-23 of the French Commercial Code, the director representing employees and the director representing employee shareholders are not taken into account for the application of the provisions relating to the gender balance of the Board. Therefore, the proportion of women on the Board was 50% as of December 31, 2019 (5 men and 5 women out of 10 directors). The 40% threshold of directors from each gender required by Article L. 225-18-1 of the French Commercial Code was reached as of December 31, 2019.

Training of directors and knowledge of the Company |
Directors may ask to receive training in the specifics of the Company, its businesses and its business sector, as well as any training that may help them perform their duties as directors.
In addition, the director representing employees receives in-house training time at the Company and/or economics training offered by an outside body chosen by the director, after the Board Secretary has accepted the body and the training program. This training time, which was initially set at 20 hours per year, has been increased to 60 hours per year by decision of the Board of Directors at its meeting of July 26, 2017.
In addition, in line with the provisions of Article L. 225-23 of the French Commercial Code introduced by Law No. 2019-486 of May 22, 2019, known as the PACTE law, the director representing employee shareholders may, at his/her request, be given training time set at 40 hours per year. Training may be undertaken within the Company or Group, and/or provided by an external body chosen by the director, once the body and program have been accepted by the Secretary of the Board, in line with the conditions set out in the regulations.
Since 2013, the Board of Directors has met each year at a Group site. Over the past three years, having visited the Bu Hasa field in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, the Laggan project site in the North Sea
in the United Kingdom, and the Yamal LNG site in Northern Russia respectively, the Board was able to visit the Halfdan offshore platform in particular, at the time of the Board meeting held in Copenhagen, Denmark on October 29, 2019.
Some of the directors also had the opportunity to visit other Group sites. In 2019, four directors visited the Jean Féger Scientific and Technical Center (CSTJF) in Pau, France. Two directors also visited the Saclay site (France) where the Groups Research & Development division is located. In September 2018, three directors visited the Umm Shaif offshore field (Abu Dhabi). Two other directors visited the deepwater operational center in Lagos, the FPSO of the AKPO offshore field and the LNG plant on Bonny Island (Nigeria) in December 2018.
These site visits by the Board of Directors and its members are opportunities to meet with the Groups employees, partners and local leading figures in the energy sector.
The directors also have regular contact with Group management, including members of the Executive Committee at Board meetings and operational managers during visits to the Groups sites. These interactions between directors and managers help the directors better understand the Groups activities in a practical way.

Working procedures of the Board of Directors |
The working procedures of the Board of Directors are set out in its Rules of Procedure, which specify the mission of the Board of Directors and the rules related to the organization of its work. The Boards Rules of Procedure also specify the obligations of each director, as well as the role and powers of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Charles Paris de Bollardière has served as Secretary of the Board of Directors since his appointment by the Board of Directors on September 15, 2009.
Since November 4, 2014, the date of the first appointment of the director representing employees on the Board of Directors, a member of the Central Works Council (replaced since December 2018 by the Central Social and Economic Committee) attends Board meetings in an advisory capacity, pursuant to Article L. 2312-75 of the French Labor Code.
Law No. 2019-486 of May 22, 2019 on the growth and transformation of businesses amended Article L. 225-27-1 of the French Commercial Code, lowering to eight the number of directors beyond which a second director representing employees must be appointed. Pursuant to these provisions, a second director representing employees will have to be appointed within six months of the decision of the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting to be held on May 29, 2020, which will be convened to amend the bylaws of TOTAL S.A. accordingly.
The Rules of Procedure of the Board of Directors are reviewed on a regular basis in order to adapt them to changes in governance rules and practices. In 2014, changes were made to include, in particular, new provisions relating to information of the Board of Directors in the event of new directorships being assumed by the directors or changes in existing directorships, together with a reminder of the obligations of confidentiality inherent to the work of the Board. In December 2015, changes were made to provide for the appointment of a Lead Independent Director in the event of the combination of the functions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and to define his or her duties. In July 2018, changes were made in response to the new demands pertaining to social and environmental responsibility further to the revision of the AFEP-MEDEF Code in June 2018.
The text of the latest unabridged version of the Rules of Procedure of the Board of Directors, as approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting on July 25, 2018, is provided below. It is also available on the Companys website under Our Group/Our identity/Our governance.

Directors shall refrain from directly or indirectly engaging in (or recommending engagement in) transactions involving the financial instruments (shares, ADRs or any other securities related to such financial instruments) of the Company or its listed subsidiaries, or any listed financial instruments for which the director has insider information. Insider information is specific information that has not yet been made public and that directly or indirectly concerns one or more issuers of financial instruments or one or more financial instruments and which, if it were made public, could have a significant impact on the price of the financial instruments concerned or on the price of financial instruments related to them. 3.

Directors are prohibited from carrying out transactions on any financial instruments related to the Companys share (Paris option market (MONEP), warrants, exchangeable bonds, etc.), and from buying on margin or short selling such financial instruments. 6. Directors are also prohibited from hedging the shares of the Company and any financial instruments related to them, and in particular: Company shares that they hold; and, where applicable: Company share subscription or purchase options; rights to Company shares that may be awarded free of charge; Company shares obtained from the exercise of options or granted free of charge. 7.

The text of the unabridged version of the rules of procedure approved by the Board of Directors on July 25, 2018, is available on TOTALs website under Our Group/Our identity/ Our Governance.

|

The Audit Committee reports to the Board of Directors on the performance of its duties. It also reports on the results of the statutory auditors mission concerning the certification of the financial statements, on how this mission contributed to the integrity of the accounting and financial information and its role in this process. It shall inform the Board of Directors without delay of any difficulties encountered.
Organization of activities
The Committee meets at least seven times each year: each quarter to review in particular the statutory financial statements of the Company, and the annual and quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements, and at least on three other occasions to review matters not directly related to the review of the quarterly financial statements.
At each Committee meeting where the quarterly financial statements are reviewed, the Chief Financial Officer presents the Consolidated Financial Statements and the statutory financial statements of the Company, as well as the Groups financial position and, in particular, its liquidity, cash flow and debt situation. A memo describing risk exposure and off-balance sheet commitments is communicated to the Committee. This review of the financial statements includes a presentation by the statutory auditors underscoring the key points observed.
As part of monitoring the efficiency of the internal control and risk management systems, as well as internal audits with regard to the procedures relating to the production and processing of accounting, financial and non-financial information, the Committee is informed of the work program of the Corporate Internal Control and Audit Department and its organization, on which it may issue an opinion. The Committee also receives a summary of the internal audit reports, which is presented at each Committee meeting where the quarterly financial statements are reviewed. The risk management processes implemented within the Group, as well as updates to them, are presented regularly to the Committee.
The Committee may meet with the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer or, if the functions are separate, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer as well as, if applicable, any Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Company. It may perform inspections and consult with managers of operating or non-operating department, as may be useful in performing its duties. The Chairman of the Committee gives prior notice of such meeting to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer or, if the functions of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer are separate, both the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer. In particular, the Committee is authorized to consult with those involved in preparing or auditing the financial statements (Chief Financial Officer and principal Finance Department managers, Audit Department, Legal Department) by asking the Companys Chief Financial Officer to call them to a meeting.
The Committee consults with the statutory auditors regularly, including at least once a year without any Company representative present. If it is informed of a substantial irregularity, it recommends to the Board of Directors all appropriate action.
If it considers that it is necessary for the accomplishment of its mission, the Committee asks the Board of Directors for resources to
receive assistance or conduct external studies on subjects within its competence. If the Committee calls on external consulting services, it makes sure that they are objective.

Report of the Lead Independent Director on her mandate |
During the Board meeting of February 5, 2020, Ms. Barbizet presented a report on her mandate as Lead Independent Director. The Lead Independent Director indicated that she exercised her duties during the 2019 fiscal year as follows:
|
Contact with the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer: |
The Lead Independent Director has been a privileged interlocutor of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer with respect to significant matters concerning the Groups business and preparing meetings of the Board of Directors and of the Governance and Ethics Committee. The Lead Independent Director thus met the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer very regularly, on a monthly basis, and before each meeting of the Board of Directors.
|
Assessment of the Board of Directors practices: |
The Lead Independent Director conducted the assessment of the Board of Directors practices, with the assistance of an external consultant.
|
Avoidance of conflicts of interest: |
The Lead Independent Director has performed due diligence in order to identify and analyze potential conflicts of interest. She brought to the attention of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer the potential conflicts of interest that had been identified. The Lead Independent Director was thus consulted in October 2019 by a director about a potential conflict of interest arising due to that directors possible participation on the Board of Directors of an unlisted company in the transport infrastructure sector. Due to the absence of a conflict of interest, this director accepted the office of director that was on offer in this company.
|
Monitoring of the Boards practices: |
The Lead Independent Director held a meeting of the independent directors on December 11, 2019. At this meeting, the discussions related in particular to the implementation of the Groups strategy in terms of energy transition in the context of climate change, as well as to the directors wishes to better understand the opportunities open to the Group, for example by inviting external experts in order to share their views.
|
Relationships with shareholders: |
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the Lead Independent Director are the privileged points of contacts for shareholders concerning matters under the Boards responsibility. In accordance with the provisions of the rules of procedure of the Board, when the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is solicited in this area, he may consult the Lead Independent Director before responding.
When the Lead Independent Director is solicited in this area, she informs the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and gives her opinion, so that the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer can give appropriate response to the request. The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer informs the Lead Independent Director of the response.
The Lead Independent Director presented to the shareholders the report relating to her office during the Shareholders Meeting on May 29, 2019.
|
Customer relations: |
The Lead Independent Director and another director were notified in May 2019 by an agent of a Groups subsidiary of a commercial dispute concerning this agent with said subsidiary. After becoming

familiar with the content of the dispute, the Lead Independent Director concluded that this issue had been properly dealt with.
The Lead Independent Director and another director were also notified in October 2019 by a Group customer of a commercial dispute concerning the quality of a product that was sold to this customer by a Groups company. Analyses concluded the conformity of the product, and as no other claim regarding the production batch was received, the investigation carried out showed that the Groups teams handled the situation with professionalism. An agreement was finally reached between the two parties on December 23, 2019, ending the commercial dispute.
|
Relations with current or former employees: |
The Lead Independent Director was notified on July 12, 2019 of a situation dating back to 2005 relating to a former Group employee and which was previously brought to the attention of the Group Ethics Committee. The Lead Independent Director stated that the Group Ethics Committee took into account the request which was transmitted by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer by carrying
out the steps necessary to remedy an anomaly with regard to the pension situation of the person concerned on the one hand and on the other hand, to try to handle, after such a long period of time, the personal situation of that person when employee of the Company. The Lead Independent Director indicated in her response of July 29, 2019 that the Ethics Committee could only propose to the person concerned to refer the matter to the public authorities that may be competent and that the Company undertakes to fully cooperate with them. After being notified again on the same situation on August 13, 2019 by a labor union, the Lead Independent Director confirmed on October 9, 2019 that the Group Ethics Committee had properly implemented reasonably foreseeable due diligence and had thus dealt adequately with this situation.
|
Visits to Group sites by the directors: |
Along with other directors, Ms. Barbizet visited the Halfdan field in the North Sea in Denmarks offshore area. This site visit was an opportunity for the directors to meet Group senior executives and partners, as well as leading industrial figures in this country.
4.1.4 |
Assessment of the Board of Directors practices |
Once a year, the Board of Directors discusses its functioning. It also conducts a formal assessment of its own functioning at regular intervals of up to three years. The evaluation is carried out under the supervision of the Lead Independent Director, if one has been appointed, or under the supervision of the Governance and Ethics Committee, with the assistance of an outside consultant. When a Lead Independent Director is appointed, he or she oversees this evaluation process and reports on it to the Board of Directors.
At its meeting of March 18, 2020, the Board of Directors discussed its functioning. Ms. Barbizet, Lead Independent Director, managed this evaluation process in January 2020 on the basis of a formal self-assessment in the form of a detailed questionnaire. The responses given by the directors were then presented to the Governance and Ethics Committee to be reviewed and summarized. This summary was then discussed by the Board of Directors. This process made it possible to confirm the quality of each directors contribution to the work of the Board and its Committees.
This formal evaluation showed a positive opinion of the functioning of the Board of Directors and the Committees. In particular, it was noted that the suggestions for improvement made by the directors in recent years had generally been taken into account. During the Board of Directors meetings, some of which were held at certain of the Groups sites, special attention was paid at the presentation of strategy and large-scale projects of investment and divestment).
Furthermore, the main suggestions for improving the Board made by the directors during their January 2017, January 2018 and January 2019 self-assessments have been implemented:
|
monitoring risks at Board level: an annual presentation of the Groups risk map has been on the Boards agenda since 2016. In 2019, the new risk map established end 2019 was presented to directors on the occasion of the Strategy & CSR Committee meeting on December 11, 2019. |
|
changes to the composition of the Board: the Governance and Ethics Committees proposals to the Board of Directors met the expectations of the Board members, particularly with the addition of the experience of two Chief Executive Officers of leading companies, who joined the Board following the Shareholders Meeting of May 26, 2017. A new director, who was a former CFO of a hydroelectricity company, was appointed by the Shareholders Meeting of May 29, 2019. |
|
independent directors meeting: now held once a year at the initiative of the Lead Independent Director. Meetings took place on December 11, 2019. |
The self-assessment conducted in January 2020 thus highlighted the directors satisfaction with the functioning of the Board of Directors, both in terms of form and substance, and, in particular, concerning freedom of expression, the quality of dialog, the collegiality of decision-making as well as the relevance of subjects addressed. The directors particularly appreciated the pace and agenda of meetings, the quality of the exchanges during lunches before the meetings and during the visits to Group sites organized for them, as well as the quality of relations with the Lead Independent Director.
The Board of Directors made the following suggestions that could further improve its functioning:
|
consider alternative disruptive scenarios within the framework of the strategic consideration; |
|
implement trainings for directors who are willing to do some; |
|
propose the presence of external persons during the meetings of the Board or the Committees about general matters (climate). |

Unified Management Form |
Combination of the management positions
At its meeting on December 16, 2015, the Board of Directors decided to reunify the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TOTAL S.A. as of December 19, 2015. Since that date, Mr. Pouyanné has thus held the position of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TOTAL S.A.
Following the death of TOTALs former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. de Margerie, the Board of Directors decided, at its meeting on October 22, 2014, to separate the functions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in order to best ensure the transition of the General Management. The Board of Directors therefore appointed Mr. Pouyanné as Chief Executive Officer for a term of office expiring following the Annual Shareholders Meeting held in 2017 to approve the 2016 financial statements(1), and Mr. Desmarest as Chairman of the Board of Directors for a term of office expiring on December 18, 2015, in accordance with the age limit set out in the bylaws. It was announced that, on that date, the functions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TOTAL S.A. would be combined.
At the Ordinary Shareholders Meeting of June 1, 2018, Mr. Pouyannés directorship was renewed for a period of three years, i.e., until the end of the Shareholders Meeting in 2021 that will approve the accounts of fiscal year 2020. On the proposal of the Governance and Ethics Committee, approved by the meeting of the Board of Directors of March 14, 2018, the latter met after the Shareholders Meeting and unanimously decided to renew Mr. Pouyannés term of office as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for the duration of his directorship.
At the meeting of the Board of Directors of March 14, 2018, the Lead Independent Director notably reiterated that the proposal to continue to combine the positions of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer was made further to work done by the Governance and Ethics Committee in the interests of the Company. In this regard, the unified Management Form was deemed to be most appropriate to the Groups organization, modus operandi and business, and to the specific features of the oil and gas sectors, particularly in light of the advantage for the Group of having a unified management in strategic negotiations with States and the Groups partners.
The Lead Independent Director also reiterated that the Groups governance structure ensures a balanced distribution of powers. To this end, at its meeting on December 16, 2015, the Board amended the provisions of its Rules of Procedure to provide for the appointment of a Lead Independent Director in the event of the combination of the positions of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. The Lead Independent Directors duties, resources and rights are described in the Rules of Procedure of the Board of Directors.
The balance of powers within the Companys bodies is also ensured by the composition of the Board of Directors and that of its four Committees, particularly given the high proportion of members who are independent directors. It is further ensured by the directors full involvement in the work of the Board and the Committees, and by their diverse profiles, skills and expertise.
In addition, the Boards Rules of Procedure provide that investments and divestments considered by the Group exceeding 3% of equity, as well as any significant transactions not included in the announced Company
strategy, must be approved by the Board, which is also informed of any significant events related to the Companys operations, particularly investments and divestments in amounts exceeding 1% of equity.
Finally, the Companys bylaws offer the necessary guarantees to ensure compliance with best governance practices under a unified Management Form. In particular, they stipulate that a Board meeting may be convened by any means, including verbally, and at short notice in case of urgency, by the Chairman or by a third of its members, at any time and as often as required to ensure the best interests of the Company.
Lead Independent Director
At its meeting on December 16, 2015, the Board of Directors appointed Ms. Barbizet as Lead Independent Director as of December 19, 2015. Pursuant to the provisions of the Rules of Procedure of the Board of Directors, she therefore chairs the Governance and Ethics Committee.
Ms. Patricia Barbizet has been a director of TOTAL S.A. since May 16, 2008. Ms. Barbizet will have served 12 years on the Board as from May 16, 2020 and will no longer be considered as an independent director from that date. Subject to the renewal of her mandate as a director at the Shareholders Meeting to be held on May 29, 2020, the Board of Directors is considering appointing Ms. Marie-Christine Coisne-Roquette in the function as Lead Independent Director at the end of the Shareholders Meeting.
The duties of the Lead Independent Director are described in detail in the Rules of Procedure of the Board of Directors, the full version of which is provided in point 4.1.2.1 of this chapter.

Executive Committee and Group Performance Management Committee |
The Executive Committee
The Executive Committee, under the responsibility of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is the decision-making body of the Group.
It implements the strategy formulated by the Board of Directors and authorizes related investments, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors for investments exceeding 3% of the Groups equity, as well as any significant transactions not included in the announced company strategy, or notification of the Board for investments exceeding 1% of equity.
In 2019, the Executive Committee met at least twice a month, except in August when it met only once.
As of December 31, 2019, the members of Executive Committee were as follows:
|

Balanced representation of women and men and diversity results in the 10% of positions at TOTAL S.A. with the highest responsibilities (Article L. 225-37-4, 6° of the French Commercial Code)
TOTAL is committed to respecting the principles of gender equality, it promotes this fundamental principle and ensures that it is properly applied. The promotion of gender equality is reflected in the Groups deployment of a global diversity policy, in goals set by General Management, of human resources processes that take into account the gender dimension, in agreements promoting a better balance between personal and professional life (such as the agreement on remote working in France) and in awareness-raising and training initiatives.
Regarding TOTAL S.A., the Groups commitment in favor of diversity in management took shape in 2016 with the arrival of the President of the People & Social Responsibility division to the Groups Executive Committee and the President of Strategy & Innovation in 2019 (2 women out of 8 members). As a result, the proportion of women in the Executive Committee represents 25%.
With regard to diversity in the 10% of the highest management of the Company positions, the proportion of women equals 16%. At Group level, which is the most relevant perimeter considering TOTALs activities, this proportion equals 22%(1). For further information, refer to point 5.3.3.1 of chapter 5.

Statement regarding corporate governance |
For many years, TOTAL has taken an active approach to corporate governance and at its meeting on November 4, 2008, the Board of Directors decided to refer to the AFEP-MEDEF Code of Corporate Governance for publicly traded companies (available on the AFEP and MEDEF websites).
Pursuant to Article L. 225-37-4 of the French Commercial Code, the following table sets forth the recommendation made in the AFEP-MEDEF Code that the Company has opted not to follow as at March 18, 2020, as well as the reasons for such decision.
RECOMMENDATION NOT FOLLOWED |
EXPLANATION PRACTICE FOLLOWED BY TOTAL |
|||
Supplementary pension plan (point 25.6.2 of the Code)
Supplementary pension schemes with defined benefits must be subject to the condition that the beneficiary must be a director or employee of the company when claiming his or her pension rights pursuant to the applicable rules. |
It appeared justified not to deprive the relevant beneficiaries of the benefit of the pension commitments made by the Company in the particular cases of the disability or departure of a beneficiary over 55 years of age at the initiative of the Group. In addition, it should be noted that the supplementary pension plan set up by the Company was declared to URSSAF in 2004, in accordance with Articles L. 137-11 and R. 137-16 of the French Social Security Code. In accordance with the ordinance 2019-697 published on July 4, 2019, this pension plan is closed to all new participant as from July 4, 2019.
|
In recent years, the Companys practices have evolved in two areas concerning the recommendations made in the AFEP-MEDEF Code.
First, a meeting of directors not attended by the executive directors has been held annually since 2017. The recommendation made in the AFEP-MEDEF Code (point 11.3) stating that It is recommended that at least one meeting not attended by the executive officers should be organized each year is thus followed.
Second, concerning the recommendation made in the AFEP-MEDEF Code concerning the composition of the Compensation Committee that one of its members should be an employee director (point 18.1 of the Code), the Board of Directors approved, on February 8, 2017, the proposal of the Governance and Ethics Committee to appoint Ms. Renata Perycz as a member of the Compensation Committee at the end of the Shareholders Meeting of May 26, 2017. Since Ms. Peryczs office expired at the end of the Annual Shareholders Meeting of May 29, 2019, the Board of Directors decided to appoint Ms. Christine Renaud, the director representing employees, as a member of the Compensation Committee at the end of said Meeting.

Board members compensation policy |
Aggregate amount of directors compensation due to their directorships
In accordance with the provisions of Article L. 225-45 of the French Commercial Code, the conditions applicable to Board members compensation are defined by the Board of Directors on the proposal of the Governance and Ethics Committee, under the conditions provided for by Article L. 225-37-2 of the French Commercial Code and within the limit of an annual fixed amount determined by the Annual Shareholders Meeting.
The Annual Shareholders Meeting held on May 17, 2013 set at 1.4 million the maximum amount of the annual fixed amount to be allocated to board members for their activity. This maximum amount has remained unchanged since this Shareholders Meeting.
In view of the expected increase in the number of directors as well as in the number per year of meetings of the Board of Directors for exceptional transactions and of the Strategy & CSR Committee the competencies of which have been extended to the social and environmental challenges, including those in relation to climate, it will be proposed to the Shareholders Meeting to be held on May 29, 2020 to set, as from the fiscal year 2020, the annual fixed amount to be allocated to board members as compensation due to their activity at 1.75 million.
At its meeting of March 18, 2020, the Board of Directors decided that the allocation rules of the directors compensation and their payment conditions defined by the Board at its meeting of July 26, 2017, will remain the same. The annual maximum amount for the compensation of the activity of the directors will thus be allocated among the directors in the strict respect of the principles set by the Rules of procedures of the Board and the compensation policy for directors as presented below.
Rules for allocating directors compensation due to their directorships
The compensation due to directors by virtue of their directorships are allocated according to a formula comprised of fixed compensation and variable compensation based on fixed amounts per meeting, which makes it possible to take into account each directors actual attendance at the meetings of the Board of Directors and its Committees, subject to the conditions below:
|
a fixed annual portion of 20,000 per director(1); |
|
a fixed annual portion of 30,000 for the Chairman of the Audit Committee(2); |
|
a fixed annual portion(1) of 25,000 for the Audit Committee members(2); |
|
a fixed annual portion(1) of 25,000 for the Chairman of the Governance and Ethics Committee and for the Chairman of the Compensation Committee(2); |
|
an additional fixed annual portion(1) of 30,000 for the Lead Independent Director (beyond amounts above); |
|
an amount of 7,500 per director for each Board of Directors meeting actually attended; |
|
an amount of 3,500 per director for each Governance and Ethics Committee, Compensation Committee or Strategy and CSR Committee meeting actually attended; |
|
an amount of 7,000 per director for each Audit Committee meeting actually attended; and |
|
a premium of 4,000 in respect for the travel from outside France to attend a Board of Directors or Committee meetings. |
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer does not receive directors compensation for his work on the Board and Committees of TOTAL S.A.
The total amount paid to each director is determined after taking into consideration the directors actual presence at each Board of Directors or Committees meeting and, if appropriate, since the decision by the Board of Directors on February 9, 2012, after prorating the amount set for each director such that the overall amount paid remains within the maximum limit set by the Shareholders Meeting. Directors compensation for each fiscal year are paid following a decision by the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Governance and Ethics Committee, at the beginning of the following fiscal year.
The director representing employee shareholders and the director representing employees receive directors compensation according to the same terms and conditions as any other director.
Moreover, there is no service contract between a director and TOTAL S.A. or any of its controlled companies that provides for the grant of benefits under such a contract.
4.3.1.2 |
Compensation paid to directors during fiscal year 2019 or allocated during the same fiscal year |
At its meeting of February 5, 2020, the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Governance and Ethics Committee, set the aggregate amount of compensation (formerly fees) allocated to board members due to their directorships in TOTAL S.A., for fiscal year 2019.
This amount was determined by applying the principles presented in the directors compensation policy (point 4.3.1.1 of this chapter), and set for each director, after taking into account his/her actual attendance to each meeting of the Board or of the Committees (refer to point 4.1.2.2 of this chapter table of the directors attendance at Board and Committees meetings).
Regarding the number of meetings of the Board and the Committees held in fiscal year 2019, the amount determined for each director was prorated, under the Board of Directors decision of February 9, 2012, so that the aggregate paid amount remains within the limit of the maximum cap set by the Shareholders Meeting of May 17, 2013 (i.e. 1.4 million).
The aggregate amount of compensation allocated to Board members due to their directorships for fiscal year 2019 was thus set at 1.4 million, after prorata. The amount of the directors compensation resulting from the allocation rules presented above, before prorata, would have amounted to 1,605,500, i.e. an amount above the cap voted by the Shareholders Meeting of May 17, 2013.
The directors representing employee shareholders and the director representing employees benefited from their compensation by virtue of their directorships in the same conditions and under the same basis as the other directors. Ms. Renaud and Ms. Della Puppa Tibi chose to pay, for the entire term of their directorship, all their directors compensation to their respective trade union membership organizations.

Compensation of Mr. Patrick Pouyanné for fiscal year 2019 |
At its meeting of March 18, 2020, the Board of Directors set, on the proposal of the Compensation Committee, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officers compensation in respect for fiscal year 2019, by applying the principles and criteria set in the compensation policy of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for fiscal year 2019 submitted by the Board of Directors to the Ordinary Shareholders Meeting of May 29, 2019 and approved by the latter at 94.08% (11th resolution). For the setting of the compensation policy, the Board of Directors had decided, at its meeting of March 13, 2019, on the proposal of the Compensation Committee, to align the criteria of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officers compensation with the key criteria reflecting the Groups strategy evolution as underscored to investors, in particular in February 2019, thus allowing a convergence with the long-term performances of the Company.
In accordance with Article L. 225-37-3 of the French Commercial Code, the information presented below reports on the total compensation and benefits of all kinds, paid to Mr. Patrick Pouyanné by virtue of his mandate as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TOTAL S.A. for fiscal year 2019 or allocated by virtue of this mandate in respect for the same fiscal year(1) as well as all the other information provided for in this Article L. 225-37-3.
It makes the distinction between the fixed, variable and extraordinary components of the total compensation and benefits, as well as the criteria used to calculate them or the circumstances due to which they were attributed. This report also mentions all the commitments of all kinds made by the Company in favor of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer corresponding to the components of compensation, indemnities or benefits due or likely to be due upon acceptance, termination or change in duties or after the discharge thereof, in particular pension commitments and other annuities.
It is reminded that the payment to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the annual variable component for fiscal year 2019 is conditional upon the approval of the Ordinary Shareholders Meeting on May 29, 2020, of the fixed, variable and extraordinary components of the total compensation and the benefits of all kinds paid during fiscal year 2019 to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer or allocated to the latter during the same fiscal year, in accordance with Article L. 225-100 of the French Commercial Code. The Ordinary Shareholders Meeting to be held on May 29, 2020, will be convened on to approve the total compensation and the benefits of all kinds paid during fiscal year 2019 or attributed to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for the same fiscal year, in accordance with Article L. 225-100 of the French Commercial Code.

The variable portion of Mr. Pouyannés compensation allocated in respect for fiscal year 2019 by virtue of his duties as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer has been set at 2,378,300. This corresponds to 169.88% (of a maximum of 180%) of his fixed annual compensation based on results of the economic parameters and the evaluation of the personal contribution of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
This annual variable compensation corresponds to 63% of the total cash compensation allocated in respect for fiscal year 2019 (i.e., excluding performance shares and benefit in kind).
The payment to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the annual variable portion allocated in respect for fiscal year 2019 is subject to the approval by the Ordinary Shareholders Meeting to be held on May 29, 2020 of the fixed, variable and extraordinary components of the total compensation and the benefit-in-kind paid during fiscal year 2019 to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer or allocated to the latter during the same fiscal year, in accordance with Article L. 225-100 of the French Commercial Code.
The variable portion of Mr. Pouyannés compensation allocated in respect for fiscal year 2018 by virtue of his duties as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and paid in 2019 (after the approval by the Ordinary Shareholders Meeting of May 29, 2019 of the fixed, variable and extraordinary components of the total compensation and the benefit- in-kind paid in respect for fiscal year 2018) was set at 1,725,900, corresponding to 123.28% (of a maximum of 180%) of his fixed annual compensation based on results of the economic parameters and the evaluation of his personal contribution.
For the setting of the variable portion of Mr. Pouyannés compensation awarded in respect for fiscal year 2019 due to his duties as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the Board of Directors reviewed, at its meeting on March 18, 2020, the level of achievement of the economic parameters based on the quantifiable targets set by the Board of Directors at its meeting on March 13, 2019. The Board of Directors also assessed the Chairman and Chief Executive Officers personal contribution on the basis of the target criteria set during its meeting on March 13, 2019, to qualitatively assess his management.

the FIR rate is 0.857, which is between the maximum FIR of 1.323 of the majors panel and the minimum FIR of 0.214 of the majors panel. The result of this criterion was thus fixed at 42% of its maximum i.e. 1.68%; the number of Tier 1 + Tier 2 incidents was 72, which is below the target of 100. The result of this criterion was set at 8%.
The result of the criterion related to the safety performance was thus set at 17.68%.
The criterion linked to the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on operated oil & gas facilities was assessed for a maximum weighting of 10% of the base salary, through the achievement of a GHG (Scope 1 and Scope 2) reduction emission target from 46 Mt CO2e in 2015 to 40 Mt CO2e in 2025, corresponding to a reduction of 600 kt CO2e/y, i.e. a target of 43.6 Mt CO2e for 2019.
This criterion was assessed based on the elements set out in the 2019 compensation policy for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, as approved by the Shareholders Meeting of May 29, 2019, and providing that: the maximum weighting of the GHG criterion, i.e. 10% of the base salary, is reached if the GHG Scope 1 and Scope 2 emission on the operated oil & gas facilities are below 43.6 Mt CO2e in 2019; the weighting of the criterion is zero if the emissions remain stable or increase compared to those in 2015 (46 Mt CO2e); the interpolations are linear between these points of reference.
The Board noted that the GHG Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions on operated oil & gas facilities amounted to 41.5 Mt CO2e in 2019. The result of this criterion was thus set at its maximum of 10%.
The return on equity (ROE) criterion, as published by the Group on the basis of its balance sheet and consolidated statement of income was assessed for a maximum of 30% of the base salary, based on the elements set out in the 2019 compensation policy of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, as approved by the Shareholders Meeting of May 29, 2019, and providing that: the maximum weighting of the criterion is reached if the ROE is greater than or equal to 13%; the weighting of the criterion is zero if the ROE is less than or equal to 6%; the weighting of the criterion is at 50% of the maximum, i.e., 15%, for an ROE of 8%; the interpolations are linear between these three points of reference.
The Board noted that the ROE for fiscal year 2019 was 10.40%, i.e., below the limit of 13% corresponding to the maximum weighting. The result of this criterion was thus set at 74% of the maximum, i.e. 22.2%.
|
||||||||||
The net-debt-to-equity ratio criterion was assessed for a maximum of 30% of the base salary, based on the elements set out in the compensation policy of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for 2019, as approved by the Shareholders Meeting of May 29, 2019 and providing that: the maximum weighting of the criterion is reached for a net-debt-to-equity ratio equal to or less than 20%; the weighting of the criterion is zero for a net-debt-to-equity ratio equal to or greater than 30%; the interpolations are linear between these two points of reference.
It should be noted that the Board of Directors of March 13, 2019, had agreed that, in the event of a significant change in the Group affecting the calculation of the economic perimeters for the Group (change in accounting standard, significant patrimonial transaction approved by the Board of Directors...), the Board may calculate the parameters mutatis mutandis, i.e., excluding exogenous extraordinary elements.
The new IFRS 16 standard, applicable as from January 1, 2019, led the Group to consolidate from this date all leases in the balance sheet and as counterpart to record the corresponding financial debts as a liability in the balance sheet (before January 1, 2019, only finance leases were consolidated). The entry into force of this new accounting standard resulted in the increase of the net-debt-to-equity ratio of 3.1% as of January 1, 2019. |

The Board thus noted that the net-debt-to-equity ratio (excluding all leases debts) at 2019 year-end set at 16.7%, i.e. 3.3% below the 20%-threshold.
The Board thus decided to assess the net-debt-to-equity ratio criterion without taking into consideration the financial debt corresponding to leases. As a result, the Board of Directors decided that the result obtained for this criterion should be set at its maximum, i.e. 30%.
the pre-dividend organic cash breakeven was assessed at a maximum of 30% of the base salary according to components set in the compensation policy of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for 2019, as approved by the Shareholders Meeting of May 29, 2019, and providing that: the maximum weighting of the criterion is reached, i.e. the breakeven is below or equal to 30$/b; the weighting of the criterion is zero if the breakeven is above or equal to 40$/b; the interpolations are linear between these two points of reference.
The pre-dividend organic cash breakeven is defined as the Brent price for which the operating cash flow before working capital changes(1) (MBA) covers the organic investments(2). The ability of the Group to resist to the variations of the Brent barrel price is measured by this parameter.
Regarding fiscal year 2019, the Board noted that the pre-dividend organic cash breakeven set at $25.1/b, which is below $30/b. The result of this criterion was thus set at its maximum of 30%. |
||||||||||
the return on average capital employed (ROACE) criterion, by comparison, assessed as a maximum weighting of 20% of the base salary. TOTALs ROACE, as published from the consolidated balance sheet and the income statement, was compared to the ROACE average of each of the four peers (ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, BP and Chevron). The ROACE is equal to the net adjusted operating income(3) divided by the average of the capital employed (at replacement costs, net of deferred income tax and non-current liabilities) of the start and end of the fiscal year.
This criterion was assessed based on the elements set out in the 2019 compensation policy for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, as approved by the Shareholders Meeting of May 29, 2019, and providing that: the maximum weighting of the criterion is reached, i.e. 20% of the base salary, if TOTALs ROACE is above 2% or more compared to the average of the 4 peers ROACE; the weighting of the criterion is zero if the TOTALs ROACE is under 2% or more compared to the average of the peers ROACE; the interpolations are linear between these two points of reference.
For fiscal year 2019, the Board noted that TOTALs ROACE is 3% above the average of the ROACEs of the four peers. The result of this criterion was thus set to 100% of the maximum weighting of this criterion, i.e. 20%. |
||||||||||
The personal contribution of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer was assessed at its maximum of 40% of the base salary based on the three criteria in the compensation policy of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for 2019, as approved by the Shareholders Meeting of May 29, 2019: steering of the strategy and successful strategic negotiations with producing countries, and achievement of production and reserve targets, for up to 15%. The Board of Directors set the result of this criterion to its maximum, i.e. 15% because of the following elements observed during the past fiscal year: the ramp-up of FPSO Kaombo Sul in Angola, the signing by TOTAL (operator of Block 17) and its partners of an agreement with the national company Sonangol and the National Agency for Oil, Gas and Biofuels in order to extend the production licenses of the consortium until 2045, the acquisition of Blocks 20 and 21 in Angola, composing a new production unit, the signing of an agreement with Occidental Petroleum for the acquisition of Anadarkos assets in Africa, |

On March 13, 2019, Mr. Pouyanné was granted 72,000 existing shares of the Company pursuant to the authorization of the Companys Combined Shareholders Meeting of June 1, 2018 (nineteenth resolution) subject to the conditions set out below. These shares were granted under a broader share plan approved by the Board of Directors on March 13, 2019, relating to 0.24% of the share capital in favor of more than 11,000 beneficiaries.
The definitive number of shares is subject to the beneficiarys continued presence within the Group during the vesting period and to performance conditions as described below. The definitive number of shares granted will be based on the comparative TSR (Total Shareholder Return), the annual variation in net cash flow per share expressed in dollars, as well as the pre-dividend organic cash breakeven for fiscal years 2019, 2020 and 2021 and applied as follows: for 1/3 of the shares, the Company will be ranked against its peers (ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, BP and Chevron) each year during the three vesting years (2019, 2020 and 2021), based on the TSR criterion of the last quarter of the year in question, the dividend being considered reinvested based on the closing price on the ex-dividend date. for 1/3 of the shares, the Company will be ranked each year against its peers (ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, BP and Chevron) during the three vesting years (2019, 2020 and 2021) using the annual variation in net cash flow criterion expressed in dollar.
Based on the ranking, a grant rate will be determined for each year for these first two criteria: 1st: 180% of the grant; 2nd: 130% of the grant; 3rd: 80% of the grant; 4th and 5th: 0%. for 1/3 of the shares, the pre-dividend organic cash breakeven criterion will be assessed during the three acquisition years (2019, 2020 and 2021) as follows. The pre-dividend organic cash breakeven is defined as the Brent price for which the operating cash flow before working capital changes (MBA) covers the organic investments. The ability of the Group to resist to the variations of the Brent barrel price is measured by this parameter. the maximum weighting of the criterion is reached, i.e. the breakeven is below or equal to 30$/b; the weighting of the criterion is zero if the breakeven is above or equal to 40$/b; the interpolations are linear between these two points of reference.
A grant rate will be determined for each year.
For each of these three criteria, the average of the three grant rates obtained (for each of the three fiscal years for which the performance conditions are assessed) will be rounded to the nearest 0.1 whole percent (0.05% being rounded to 0.1%) and capped at 100%.
Each criterion will have a weight of 1/3 in the definitive grant rate. The definitive grant rate will be rounded to the nearest 0.1 whole percent (0.05% being rounded to 0.1%). The number of shares definitively granted, after confirmation of the performance conditions, will be rounded to the nearest whole number of shares in case of a fractional lot.
In application of Article L. 225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code, Mr. Pouyanné will, until the end of his term, be required to retain in the form of registered shares, 50% of the gains on the granted shares net of tax and national insurance contributions related to the shares granted in 2019. When Mr. Pouyanné holds(2) a volume of shares representing five times the fixed portion of his gross annual compensation, this percentage will be equal to 10%. If this condition is no longer met, the above-mentioned 50% holding requirement will again apply. |

In accordance with the accounting of the performance shares for fiscal year 2019 in accordance with IFRS 2 which takes into account an award rate hypothesis of 80% at the end of the acquisition period, this amount corresponds to the 72,000 shares awarded in 2019, valued on the basis of a unit fair value of 40.11. |

||||||||||
The compensation taken into account to calculate the supplementary pension is the average gross annual compensation (fixed and variable portion) over the last three years. This pension plan provides a pension for its beneficiaries equal to 1.8% of the portion of the compensation falling between 8 and 40 times the PASS and 1% for the portion of the compensation falling between 40 and 60 times the PASS, multiplied by the number of years as at December 31, 2019 of service up to a maximum of 20 years. |
||||||||||
The sum of the annual supplementary pension plan benefits and other pension plan benefits (other than those set up individually and on a voluntary basis) may not exceed 45% of the average gross compensation (fixed and variable portion) over the last three years. In the event that this percentage is exceeded, the supplementary pension is reduced accordingly. The amount of the supplementary pension determined in this way is indexed to the ARRCO pension point. |
||||||||||
The supplementary pension includes a clause whereby 60% of the amount will be paid to beneficiaries in the event of death after retirement. |
||||||||||
The Board noted that Mr. Pouyanné can no longer acquire additional pension rights under this plan given the rules for determining pension rights set out in the plan and the 20 years of service of Mr. Pouyanné as of December 31, 2016. |
||||||||||
The conditional rights granted to Mr. Patrick Pouyanné for the period from January 1, 1997, to December 31, 2016 (inclusive), are now equal to a reference rate of 36% for the portion of the base compensation falling between 8 and 40 times the PASS and 20% for the portion of the base compensation falling between 40 and 60 times the PASS. |
||||||||||
Based on Mr. Pouyannés seniority at the Company, capped at 20 years on December 31, 2016, the commitments made by TOTAL S.A. to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in terms of supplementary defined benefits and similar pension plans represented, at December 31, 2019, a gross annual retirement pension estimated at 628,932. It corresponds to 16.65% of Mr. Pouyannés gross annual compensation consisting of the annual fixed portion for 2019 (i.e., 1,400,000) and the variable portion paid in 2020(1) for fiscal year 2019 (i.e., 2,378,300). |
||||||||||
Nearly the full amount of TOTAL S.A.s commitments under these supplementary and similar retirement plans (including the retirement benefit) is outsourced for all beneficiaries to insurance companies and the non-outsourced balance is evaluated annually and adjusted through a provision in the accounts. The amount of these commitments as of December 31, 2019, is 21.8 million for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (21.9 million for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the executive and non- executive directors covered by these plans). These amounts represent the gross value of TOTAL S.A.s commitments to these beneficiaries based on the estimated gross annual pensions as of December 31, 2019 as well as the statistical life expectancy of the beneficiaries. |
||||||||||
The total amount of all the pension plans in which Mr. Pouyanné participates represents, at December 31, 2019, a gross annual pension estimated at 734,889, corresponding to 19.45% of Mr. Pouyannés gross annual compensation defined above (annual fixed portion for 2019 and variable portion paid in 2020 for fiscal year 2019). |
||||||||||
In line with the principles for determining the compensation of executive directors as set out in the AFEP-MEDEF Code which the Company uses as a reference, the Board of Directors took into account the benefit accruing from participation in the pension plans when determining the Chairman and Chief Executive Officers compensation. |

After the death of the former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. de Margerie, the Board of Directors had decided on October 22, 2014, in order to ensure the best continuity of the transition process of the general management, to combine the management positions and to appoint Mr. Desmarest, Chairman of the Board of Directors for a mandate to be ended on December 18, 2015, and Mr. Pouyanné, Chief Executive Officer. It had been announced that the duties of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer would be combined in December 2015.

The compensation policy of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for fiscal year 2020 was set by the Board of Directors, at its meeting of March 18, 2020, on the proposal of the Compensation Committee, in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 225-37-2 of the French Commercial Code.
For its determination, the Board of Directors wished to maintain the orientations decided in 2019 and follow the alignment of the criteria of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officers compensation on the key
criteria reflecting the Groups strategy, enabling to continue to ensure the convergence of the compensation with long-term performances of the Company.
The Board of Directors also relied on the general principles for determining the compensation of the executive directors described below and considered the compensations and employments conditions of employees of the Company.
General principles for determining the compensation of the executive directors
The general principles for determining the compensation and other benefits granted to the executive directors of TOTAL S.A. are as follows.
|
Compensation as well as benefits for the executive directors are set by the Board of Directors on the proposal of the Compensation Committee. Such compensation must be reasonable and fair. Compensation for the executive directors is based on the market, the work performed, the results obtained and the responsibilities assumed. |
|
Compensation for the executive directors includes a fixed portion and a variable portion. Only highly specific circumstances may warrant the award of extraordinary compensation (for example, due to their importance for the corporation, the involvement they demand and the difficulties they present). Justified reasons for the payment of this extraordinary compensation must be given, and the realisation of the event that gave rise to the payment must be explained. |
|
The fixed portion is reviewed with a periodicity that cannot be below two years. |
|
The amount of the variable portion is reviewed each year and may not exceed a stated percentage of the fixed portion. Variable compensation is determined based on pre-defined quantifiable and qualitative criteria that are periodically reviewed by the Board of Directors. Quantifiable criteria are limited in number, objective, measurable and adapted to the Companys strategy. |
|
The variable portion rewards short-term performance and the progress made toward paving the way for medium-term development. It is determined in a manner consistent with the annual performance review of the executive directors and the Companys medium-term strategy. |
|
The Board of Directors monitors the change in the fixed and variable portions of the executive directors compensation over several years in light of the Companys performance. |
|
There is no specific pension plan for the executive directors. They are eligible for retirement benefits and pension plans available to certain employee categories in the Group under conditions determined by the Board. |
|
In line with the principles for determining the compensation of executive directors as set out in the AFEP-MEDEF Code which the Company uses as a reference, the Board of Directors takes into account the benefit accruing from participation in the pension plans when determining the compensation policy of the executive directors. |
|
Stock options and performance shares are designed to align the interests of the executive directors with those of the shareholders over the long term. |
The grant of options and performance shares to the executive directors is reviewed in light of all the components of compensation of the person in question. No discount is applied when stock options are granted. |
The exercise of options and the definitive grant of performance shares to which the executive directors are entitled are subject to conditions of presence in the Company and performance that must be met over several years. The departure of executive directors from the Group results in the inapplicability of share options and the rights to the definitive attribution of performance shares. Under exceptional circumstances, the Board of Directors can decide to maintain the share options and the rights to the definitive attribution of performance shares after the executive beneficiarys departure, if the decision of the Board of Directors is specially justified and taken in the Companys interest. |
The Board of Directors determines the rules related to holding a portion of the shares resulting from the exercise of options as well as the performance shares definitively granted, which apply to the executive directors until the end of their term of office. |
The executive directors cannot be granted stock options or performance shares when they leave office. |
|
After three years in office, the executive directors are required to hold at least the number of Company shares set by the Board. |
|
The components of compensation of the executive directors are made public after the Board of Directors meeting at which they are approved. |
|
The executive directors do not take part in any discussions or deliberations of the corporate bodies regarding items on the agenda of Board of Directors meetings related to the assessment of their performance or the determination of the components of their compensation. |
|
When a new executive director is nominated, the Board of Directors decides on his or her compensation as well as benefits, further to a proposal by the Compensation Committee, and in accordance with the above general principles for determining the compensation of the executive directors. Exceptional compensation or specific benefits when taking office are forbidden, unless the Board of Directors decides otherwise for particular reasons, in the Companys interest and within the limits of the exceptional circumstances. |

Compensation policy for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for fiscal year 2020
Base salary of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (fixed compensation)
The Board of Directors decided to maintain Mr. Patrick Pouyannés annual base salary (fixed compensation) for his duties as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for fiscal year 2020 at 1,400,000 (the same as the fixed portion due for fiscal year 2019).
The level of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officers fixed compensation was set based on the responsibilities assumed and the compensation levels applied for executive directors of comparable companies (particularly CAC 40 companies).
Annual variable portion of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officers compensation
The Board of Directors also decided to maintain the maximum amount of the variable portion that could be paid to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for fiscal year 2020 at 180% of his base salary (the same percentage as in fiscal year 2019). This ceiling was set based on the level applied by a benchmark sample of companies operating in the energy sectors.
As in 2019, the formula for calculating the variable portion of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officers compensation for fiscal year 2020 uses economic parameters that refer to quantifiable targets reflecting the Groups performance as well as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officers personal contribution allowing a qualitative assessment of his management.
The Board wished to maintain the alignment of some criteria determination of the variable portion of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer with the key criteria of the Groups strategy, which is promoted to shareholders.
Thus, in addition to the ROE, the Board maintained the criterion of the pre-dividend organic cash breakeven with a target set since 2017 at a level below $30/b, which is essential in the management of the Company and which summarizes simultaneously all the discipline of the Group in connection with its cost reduction program, the choice of its investments and the policy of management of the Groups portfolio. The Board also maintained the net-debt-to-capital ratio that is among the key objectives announced to the shareholders. Furthermore, the Board considered it desirable to maintain the criterion of the comparative ROACE of the majors since the Group has announced that it aims to be the most profitable among the majors. Finally, in addition to safety criteria, taking into account the climate change-related challenges, the Board maintained the quantitative criterion on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of the Groups operated oil & gas facilities with the objective of reducing them from 46 Mt CO2e in 2015 to less than 40 Mt CO2e in 2025.
The weighting of the assessment criteria of the personal contribution of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer was adjusted in order to reinforce the weighting of the criterion in relation to the development of the low-carbon Business (Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power perimeter), which is in line with the Groups strategy.

The parameters used include:
|
change in safety, for up to 20% of the base salary, assessed through the achievement of an annual TRIR (Total Recordable Injury Rate) target and the number of accidental deaths per million hours worked, FIR (Fatality Incident Rate) compared to those of four large competitor oil companies (ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, BP and Chevron), as well as through changes in the Tier 1 + Tier 2 indicator(1): |
|
the maximum weighting of the TRIR criterion is 8% of the base salary. The maximum weighting will be reached if the TRIR is |
below 0.80 (compared to 0.85 in 2019). The weighting of the criterion will be zero if the TRIR is above or equal to 1.3 (compared to 1.4 in 2019). The interpolations are linear between these points of reference; |
|
the maximum weighting of the FIR criterion is 4% of the base salary. The maximum weighting will be reached if the FIR is the best of the panel of the majors. It will be zero if the FIR is the worst of the panel. The interpolations are linear between these two points and depend on the ranking; |
(1) |
Tier 1 and Tier 2: indicator of the number of loss of primary containment events, with more or less significant consequences, as defined by the API 754 (for downstream) and IOGP 456 (for upstream) standards. Excluding acts of sabotage and theft. |

|
the maximum weighting of the changes in the number of Tier 1 + Tier 2 incidents is 8% of the base salary. The maximum weighting will be reached if the number of Tier 1 + Tier 2 incidents equals or below 70 (compared to equal or below 100 in 2019). The weighting of the parameter will be zero if the number of Tier 1 + Tier 2 incidents is equal to or higher than 125 (compared to 180 in 2019). The interpolations are linear between these two points of reference. |
|
change in GHG emission on operated oil & gas facilities, assessed through the achievement of a GHG (Scope 1 and Scope 2) reduction emission target from 46 Mt CO2e in 2015 to 40 Mt CO2e in 2025, corresponding to a reduction of 600 kt CO2e/y, i.e. a target of 43 Mt CO2e for 2020. The maximum weighting of the GHG criterion is 10% of the base salary: |
|
the maximum weighting of the criterion is reached, i.e. 10% of the base salary, if the GHG Scopes 1 and 2 emission on the operated oil & gas facilities reaches the target set at 43 Mt CO2e in 2020 (compared to 43.6 Mt CO2e in 2019); |
|
the weighting of the criterion is zero if the emissions are 1 Mt CO2e above the set target; |
|
the interpolations are linear between these points of reference. |
|
the return on equity (ROE) as published by the Group on the basis of its balance sheet and consolidated statement of income assessed as follows. The maximum weighting of the ROE criterion will be 30% of the base salary: |
|
the maximum weighting of the criterion is reached, i.e. 30% of the base salary, if the ROE is higher than or equal to 13%; |
|
the weighting of the criterion is zero if the ROE is lower than or equal to 6%; |
|
the weighting of the criterion is 50% of the maximum, i.e. 15% of the base salary, if the ROE is 8%; |
|
the interpolations are linear between these three points of reference. |
|
the net-debt-to-capital ratio. The maximum weighting of the net-debt-to-capital ratio criterion is 30% of the base salary: |
|
the maximum weighting of the criterion, i.e. 30% of the base salary, is reached for a net-debt-to-capital ratio equal to or below 20%; |
|
the weighting of the criterion is zero if the net-debt-to-capital ratio is equal or above 30%; |
|
the interpolations are linear between these two points of reference. |
The new IFRS 16 accounting standard, applicable as of January 1, 2019, led the Group to consolidate as from this date all leases in the balance sheet and as counterpart to record the corresponding financial debts as a liability in the balance sheet (before January 1, 2019, only finance leases were consolidated).
The entry into force of this new accounting standard led to increase the net-debt-to-capital ratio by 3.1% as of January 1, 2019.
As the Group discloses a net-debt-to-capital ratio with and without the consideration of the financial debt corresponding to leases, the Board of Directors decided to assess the net-debt-to-capital ratio without considering the financial debt corresponding to the leases.
|
the pre-dividend organic cash breakeven, assessed as follows. The maximum weighting of this criterion is 30% of the base salary. The pre-dividend organic cash breakeven is defined as the Brent price for which the operating cash flow before working capital changes(1) (MBA) covers the organic investments(2). The ability of the Group to resist to the variations of the Brent barrel price is measured by this parameter: |
|
the maximum weighting of the criterion is reached, i.e. 30% of the base salary, if the breakeven is below or equal to 30$/b; |
|
the weighting of the criterion is zero if the breakeven is above or equal to 40$/b; |
|
the interpolations are linear between these two points of reference. |
|
the return on average capital employed (ROACE), by comparison, assessed as follows. The maximum weighting of the ROACE criterion will be 20% of the base salary. TOTALs ROACE, as published from the consolidated balance sheet and the income statement, will be compared to the ROACE average of each of the four peers (ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, BP and Chevron). The ROACE is equal to the net adjusted operating income(3) divided by the average of the capital employed (at replacement costs, net of deferred income tax and non-current liabilities) of the start and end of the fiscal year. |
|
the maximum weighting of the criterion is reached, i.e. 20% of the base salary, if TOTALs ROACE is above 2% or more compared to the average of the 4 peers ROACE; |
|
the weighting of the criterion is zero if the TOTALs ROACE is under 2% or more compared to the average of the peers ROACE; |
|
the interpolations are linear between these two points of reference. |
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officers personal contribution, which may represent up to 40% of the base salary, is evaluated based on the following criteria:
|
steering of the hydrocarbon strategy (successful strategic negotiations with producing countries, achievement of production and reserve targets) and performance and outlook with respect to Downstream activities (Refining & Chemicals/Marketing & Services) for up to 15%; |
|
development of the low-carbon Businesses (Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power perimeter) for up to 10%; |
|
CSR performance, notably the integration of climate issues in the Groups Strategy, the Groups reputation in the domain of Corporate Social Responsibility, as well as the policy concerning all aspects of diversity, for up to 15%. |
The Board decided to adapt for 2020 the assessment of the personal contribution of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, by introducing a specific criterion to the low-carbon strategy implemented by the Group, with a maximum weighting set at 10%. This criterion is a separate one from the first performance criterion which remains relating to the hydrocarbon strategy, but which include from now the performance and the outlook for Downstream activities, with a maximum weighting remaining at 15%. The third criterion, relating to the CSR performance, remained assessed similarly, with a maximum weighting of 15%.
In the event of a significant change in the Group affecting the calculation of the economic perimeters for the Group (change in accounting standard, change in the policy of rating agencies, significant patrimonial transaction approved by the Board of Directors ), the Board reserves the right to calculate the parameters mutatis mutandis with justification of the changes i.e., excluding exogenous extraordinary elements.
Furthermore, the Board of Directors may exercise its discretionary powers regarding the determination of the compensation of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to Articles L. 225-47, paragraph 1 and L. 225-53, paragraph 3 of the French Commercial Code, and according to Articles L. 225-37-2 and L. 225-100 of the French Commercial Code, in the event of particular circumstances that could justify that the Board of Directors adjusts, exceptionally and both on the upside and the downside, one or more of the criteria that make up his compensation to ensure that the results of the application of the criteria described above reflect both the performance of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the performance of the Group either in absolute terms or relative to the four peers of the Group, for the economic criteria measured in comparison with these four peers.
This adjustment would be made to the variable compensation of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer by the Board of Directors on the proposal of the Compensation Committee, within the limit of the variable compensation cap of 180% of the fixed compensation, after the Board of Directors ensured that the interests of the Company and of its shareholders are aligned with those of the executive director.

Pursuant to Article L. 225-100 of French Commercial Code, the payment of this annual variable portion is subject to the approval of the Shareholders Meeting convened to approve in 2021 the fiscal year 2020.
Components of long-term compensation
The granting of performance shares to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer corresponds to the long-term component of his global compensation. It is structured over a five-year period: a three-year vesting period, followed by a two-year holding period. The definitive grant of shares is subject to a presence condition and performance conditions assessed at the end of the three-year vesting period.
Performance shares are granted to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer each year as part of plans that are not specific to him and concern more than 10,000 employees, a large majority of which are non-executive employees.
It is noted that at its meeting on March 14, 2018, the Board of Directors decided that the annual number of performance shares granted to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer would remain the same for the duration of his mandate as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, which was renewed by the Shareholders Meeting held on June 1, 2018, i.e. until the Shareholders Meeting to be held in 2021 on the financial statements of fiscal year 2020.
It is also noted that the Board of Directors decided at its meeting on March 13, 2019 to grant 72,000 performance shares to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer under the 2019 plan, i.e. the same number of shares as in 2018. The 2019 plan approved by the Board of Directors in March 2019 granted a 6% higher volume of performance shares compared with the 2018 plan. More than 10,000 employees were concerned by this plan, over 97% of whom are non-senior executives. The Board of Directors adopts this proactive policy in an effort to strengthen the sense of belonging to the Group of the beneficiaries of performance shares, to involve them more closely in its performance and encourage their investment in the Companys share capital.
The compensation policy proposed for fiscal year 2020 thus includes the granting of performance shares.
In this context, on the proposal of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors decided at its meeting on March 18, 2020, to grant 72,000 performance shares to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (the same number of shares as in 2019), as part of a 2020 plan that is not specific to him. The definitive granting of performance shares is subject to a presence condition and performance conditions assessed at the end of the three-year vesting period.
The definitive number of granted shares will be based on the TSR (Total Shareholder Return), the annual variation of the net cash flow by share in dollars, the pre-dividend organic cash breakeven, as well as the change in the greenhouse gas emission on operated oil & gas facilities for fiscal years 2020, 2021 and 2022, applied as follows:
|
For 1/4 of the shares, the Company will be ranked against its peers (ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, BP and Chevron) each year during the three vesting years (2020, 2021 and 2022) based on the TSR criterion of the last quarter of the year in question, the dividend being considered reinvested based on the closing price on the ex-dividend date. |
|
For 1/4 of the shares, the Company will be ranked each year against its peers (ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, BP and Chevron) each year during the three vesting years (2020, 2021 and 2022) using the annual variation in net cash flow per share criterion expressed in dollar. |
Based on the ranking, a grant rate will be determined for each year for these two first criteria: 1st: 180% of the grant; 2nd: 130% of the grant; 3rd: 80% of the grant; 4th and 5th: 0%.
|
For 1/4 of the shares, the pre-dividend organic cash breakeven criterion will be assessed during the three vesting years (2020, 2021 and 2022) as follows. The pre-dividend organic cash breakeven is defined as the Brent price for which the operating cash flow before working capital changes(1) (MBA) covers the organic investments(2). The ability of the Group to resist to the variations of the Brent barrel price is measured by this parameter. |
|
the maximum grant rate will be reached if the breakeven is less than or equal to $30/b, |
|
the grant rate will be zero if the breakeven is greater than or equal to $40/b, |
|
the interpolations will be linear between these points of reference. |
|
For 1/4 of the shares, the change in the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) on operated oil & gas facilities will be assessed each year as regard to the achievement of target to reduce the GHG emissions set for fiscal years 2020, 2021 and 2022 and corresponding to 43 Mt CO2e for 2020, 42.4 Mt for 2021 and 41.8 Mt for 2022. |
|
the maximum grant rate will be reached if the GHG emissions (Scope & and Scope 2) target have been achieved, |
|
the grant rate will be zero if the GHG emissions of the year considered are 1 Mt CO2e above the set target, |
|
the interpolations will be linear between these points of reference. |
For each of the four criteria, the average of the three grant rates obtained (for each of the three fiscal years for which the performance conditions are assessed) will be rounded to the nearest 0.1 whole percent (0.05% being rounded to 0.1%) and capped at 100%. Each criterion will have a weight of 1/4 in the definitive grant rate. The definitive grant rate will be rounded to the nearest 0.1 whole percent (0.05% being rounded to 0.1%). The number of shares definitively granted, after confirmation of the performance conditions, will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares in case of a fractional share.
At the end of the three-year acquisition period, shares that have been definitively granted could not be disposed of before the end of a two-year holding period.
Commitments made by the Company to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
The commitments made by the Company to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer relate to the pension plans, the retirement benefit and the severance benefit to be paid in the event of forced departure related to a change of control or strategy, as well as the life insurance and health care benefits. They were approved by the Board of Directors on March 14, 2018, and by the Annual Shareholders Meeting on June 1, 2018, in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 225-42-1 of the French Commercial Code, since abrogated.
It should be noted that Mr. Pouyanné already benefited from all these provisions when he was an employee of the Company, except for the commitment to pay severance benefits in the event of forced departure related to a change of control or strategy. It should also be noted that Mr. Pouyanné, who joined the Group on January 1, 1997, ended the employment contract that he previously had with TOTAL S.A. through his resignation at the time of his appointment as Chief Executive Officer on October 22, 2014.
Pension plans
Pursuant to applicable legislation, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is eligible for the basic French Social Security pension and for pension benefits under the ARRCO and AGIRC supplementary pension plans.

He also participates in the internal defined contribution pension plan applicable to all TOTAL S.A. employees, known as RECOSUP (Régime collectif et obligatoire de retraite supplémentaire à cotisations définies), covered by Article L. 242-1 of the French Social Security Code. The Companys commitment is limited to its share of the contribution paid to the insurance company that manages the plan. For fiscal year 2019, this pension plan represented a booked expense to TOTAL S.A. in favor of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of 2,431.
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer also participates in a supplementary defined benefit pension plan, covered by Article L.137-11 of the French Social Security Code, set up and financed by the Company and approved by the Board of Directors on March 13, 2001, for which management is outsourced to two insurance companies effective January 1, 2012. In accordance with the ordinance 2019-697 published on July 4, 2019, this plan is closed to any new participant as from July 4, 2019 and, for participants as of July 4, 2019 and retiring as from January 1, 2020, the amount of supplementary pension provided for in this plan is calculated on the basis of number of years of service as at December 31, 2019 and up to a maximum of 20 years.
This plan applies to all TOTAL S.A. employees whose compensation exceeds eight times the annual ceiling for calculating French Social Security contributions (PASS), set at 40,524 for 2019 (i.e., 324,192), and above which there is no conventional pension plan.
To be eligible for this supplementary pension plan, participants must have served for at least five years, be at least 60 years old and exercised his or her rights to retirement from the French Social Security. The benefits under this plan are subject to a presence condition under which the beneficiary must still be employed at the time of retirement. However, the presence condition does not apply if a beneficiary aged 55 or older leaves the Company at the Companys initiative or in case of disability.
The length of service acquired by Mr. Pouyanné as a result of his previous salaried duties held at the Group since January 1, 1997, has been maintained for the benefit of this plan.
The compensation taken into account to calculate the supplementary pension is the average gross annual compensation (fixed and variable portion) over the last three years. The amount paid under this plan is equal to 1.8% of the compensation falling between 8 and 40 times the PASS and 1% for the portion of the compensation falling between 40 and 60 times this ceiling, multiplied by the number of years of service as of December 31, 2019, up to a maximum of 20 years.
The sum of the annual supplementary pension plan benefits and other pension plan benefits (other than those set up individually and on a voluntary basis) may not exceed 45% of the average gross compensation (fixed and variable portion) over the last three years. In the event that this percentage is exceeded, the supplementary pension is reduced accordingly. The amount of the supplementary pension determined in this way is indexed to the ARRCO pension point.
The supplementary pension includes a clause whereby 60% of the amount will be paid to beneficiaries in the event of death after retirement.
The Board noted that Mr. Pouyanné is no longer able to acquire additional pension rights under this plan given the rules for determining pension rights set out in the plan and Mr. Pouyannés 20 years of service as of December 31, 2016.
The conditional rights granted to Mr. Patrick Pouyanné for the period from January 1, 1997, to December 31, 2016 (inclusive), are now equal to a reference rate of 36% for the portion of the base compensation falling between 8 and 40 times the PASS and 20% for the portion of the base compensation falling between 40 and 60 times the PASS.
Based on Mr. Pouyannés seniority at the Company, capped at 20 years on December 31, 2016, the commitments made by TOTAL S.A. to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in terms of supplementary defined benefits and similar pension plans represented, at December 31, 2019, a gross annual retirement pension estimated at 628,932. It corresponds to 16.65% of Mr. Pouyannés gross annual compensation consisting of the annual fixed portion for 2019 (i.e., 1,400,000) and the variable portion paid in 2020(1) for fiscal year 2019 (i.e., 2,378,300).
Nearly the full amount of TOTAL S.A.s commitments under these supplementary and similar retirement plans (including the retirement benefit) is outsourced for all beneficiaries to insurance companies and the non-outsourced balance is evaluated annually and adjusted through a provision in the accounts. The amount of these commitments as of December 31, 2019, is 21.8 million for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (21.9 million for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the executive and non-executive directors covered by these plans). These amounts represent the gross value of TOTAL S.A.s commitments to these beneficiaries based on the estimated gross annual pensions as of December 31, 2019 as well as the statistical life expectancy of the beneficiaries.
The total amount of all the pension plans in which Mr. Pouyanné participates represents, at December 31, 2019, a gross annual pension estimated at 734,889, corresponding to 19.45% of Mr. Pouyannés gross annual compensation defined above (annual fixed portion for 2019 and variable portion paid in 2020 for fiscal year 2019).

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is entitled to a retirement benefit equal to those available to eligible members of the Group under the French National Collective Bargaining Agreement for the Petroleum Industry. This benefit is equal to 25% of the fixed and variable annual compensation received during the 12 months preceding retirement.
The receipt of this retirement benefit is contingent upon a performance-related condition applicable to the beneficiary. The Board of Directors decided on March 18, 2020, to introduce a new criterion relating to the pre-dividend organic cash breakeven which is followed by investors, by replacing the previous criterion relating to the hydrocarbon production growth which is no longer relevant as regards the adaptation of the Groups strategy to the climate change challenges.
As a result, the conditions linked to the beneficiarys performance are considered as fulfilled when at least two of the criteria defined below
are satisfied:
|
the average ROE (return on equity) for the three years preceding the year in which the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer retires is at least 10%; |
|
the average net-debt-to-equity ratio for the three years preceding the year in which the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer retires is less than or equal to 30%; and |
|
the pre-dividend organic cash breakeven of the three years preceding the year in which the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer retires is below or equal to $30/b (new criterion). |
The retirement benefit cannot be combined with the severance benefit described below.

Severance benefit
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is entitled to a benefit equal to two years of his gross compensation in the event of a forced departure related to a change of control or strategy. The calculation is based on the gross compensation (fixed and variable) of the 12 months preceding the date of termination or non-renewal of his term of office.
The severance benefit will only be paid in the event of a forced departure related to a change of control or strategy. It will not be due in case of gross negligence or willful misconduct or if the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer leaves the Company of his own volition, accepts new responsibilities within the Group or may claim full retirement benefits within a short time period.
Receipt of this severance benefit is contingent upon a performance-related condition applicable to the beneficiary. The Board of Directors decided on March 18, 2020, to introduce a new criterion relating to the pre-dividend organic cash breakeven which is followed by investors, by replacing the previous criterion relating to the hydrocarbon production growth which is no longer relevant as regards the adaptation of the Groups strategy to the climate change challenges.
As a result, the conditions linked to the beneficiarys performance are considered as fulfilled when at least two of the criteria defined below are satisfied:
|
the average ROE (return on equity) for the three years preceding the year in which the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer leaves is at least 10%; |
|
the average net-debt-to-equity ratio for the three years preceding the year in which the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer leaves is less than or equal to 30%; and |
|
the pre-dividend organic cash breakeven of the three years preceding the year in which the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer retires is below or equal to $30/b (new criterion). |
Life insurance and health care plans
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is covered by the following life insurance plans provided by various life insurance companies:
|
an incapacity, disability, life insurance plan applicable to all employees, partly paid for by the Company, that provides for two options in case of death of a married employee: either the payment of a lump sum equal to five times the annual compensation up to 16 times the PASS, corresponding to a maximum of 3,290,880 in 2020, plus an additional amount if there is a dependent child or children, or the payment of a lump sum equal to three times the annual compensation up to 16 times the PASS, plus a survivors pension and education allowance; |
|
a second disability and life insurance plan, fully paid by the Company, applicable to executive officers and senior executives whose annual gross compensation is more than 16 times the PASS. This contract, signed on October 17, 2002, amended on January 28 and December 16, 2015, guarantees the beneficiary the payment of a lump sum, in case of death, equal to two years of compensation (defined as the gross annual fixed reference compensation (base France), which corresponds to 12 times the monthly gross fixed compensation paid during the month prior to death or sick leave, to which is added the highest amount in absolute value of the variable portion received during one of the five previous years of activity), which is increased to three years in case of accidental death and, in case of accidental permanent disability, a lump sum proportional to the degree of disability. Death benefits are increased by 15% for each dependent child. |
Payments due under this contract are made after the deduction of any amount paid under the above-mentioned plan applicable to all employees.
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer also has the use of a company car and is covered by the health care plan available to all employees.

4.3.4.1 |
General policy |
In addition to its employee shareholding development policy, TOTAL S.A. has implemented a policy to involve employees and senior executives in the Groups future performance which entails granting free performance shares each year. TOTAL S.A. also granted stock options until 2011. These shares are granted under selective plans based on a review of individual performance at the time of each grant.
The stock option and free share plans offered by TOTAL S.A. concern only Total shares and no free shares of the Groups listed subsidiaries or options on them are granted by TOTAL S.A.
All grants are approved by the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Compensation Committee. For each plan, the Compensation Committee recommends a list of beneficiaries, the conditions as well as the number of options or shares granted to each beneficiary. The Board of Directors then gives final approval for this list and the grant conditions.

Grant of free performance shares |
Grants of free performance shares under selective plans become definitive only at the end of a three-year vesting period, subject to the fulfillment of applicable presence and performance conditions. At the end of the vesting period, and provided that the conditions are met, the Total shares are definitively granted to the beneficiaries, who must then hold them for at least two years (holding period). The presence condition applies to all shares.
For beneficiaries employed by a non-French company on the grant date, the vesting period for free shares may be increased to four years, in which case there is no mandatory holding period. Since 2011, all shares granted to senior executives have been subject to performance conditions.
|
Stock options |
Stock options were agreed until 2011 with a term of eight years, with a strike price set at the average of the closing Total share prices on Euronext Paris during the 20 trading days preceding the grant date, without any discount. Exercise of the options granted between 2007 and 2011 was subject to a presence condition and performance conditions, notably related to the Groups return on equity (ROE), and variable depending on the plan and category of beneficiary.
Since the 2011 plan, the Board of Directors has not granted any new Total stock options, and all the stock option plans prior to the 2011 plan have since expired. In addition, the authorization granted by the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting held on May 24, 2016 to grant stock options in the Company, for a term of 38 months, expired.
It will be proposed to the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting to be held on May 29, 2020, to authorize the Board of Directors to grant stock options in favor of beneficiaries it will determine among the employees and executives directors of the Company and of companies or groupements dintérêt économique related to it under the conditions provided for in Article L. 225-180 of the French Commercial Code.
4.3.4.2 |
Monitoring of grants to the executive directors |
Stock options
No stock options have been granted since September 14, 2011. Until that date, the Companys executive directors in office at the time of the decision were granted stock options as part of broader grant plans approved by the Board of Directors for certain Group employees and senior executives. The options granted to the executive directors were subject to the same requirements applicable to the other beneficiaries of the grant plans.
For the options granted between 2007 and 2011, the Board of Directors made the exercise of the options granted to the executive directors in office contingent upon a presence condition and performance conditions based on the Groups ROE and ROACE. The grant rate of the performance-related options was 60% for the 2008 Plan, and 100% for the 2009, 2010 and 2011 plans.
As of December 31, 2019, Mr. Pouyanné did not hold any Total stock options, since all the options granted under the 2011 plan had been exercised.

Report on corporate governance
Additional information about corporate governance |
For the 2019 plan, the applicable performance conditions are the following:
|
for 1/3 of the shares, the Company will be ranked against its peers(1) each year during the three vesting years (2019, 2020 and 2021) based on the TSR criterion of the last quarter of the year in question, the dividend being considered reinvested based on the closing price on the ex-dividend date; |
|
for 1/3 of the shares, the Company will be ranked each year against its peers during the three vesting years (2019, 2020 and 2021) using the annual variation in net cash flow per share criterion expressed in dollar. |
Based on the ranking, a grant rate will be determined for each year for these two first criteria: 1st: 180% of the grant; 2nd: 130% of the grant; 3rd: 80% of the grant; 4th and 5th: 0%.
|
For 1/3 of the shares, the pre-dividend organic cash breakeven criterion will be assessed during the three vesting years (2019, 2020 and 2021) as follows: |
|
the maximum grant rate will be reached if the breakeven is less than or equal to $30/b, |
|
the grant rate will be zero if the breakeven is greater than or equal to $40/b, |
|
the interpolations will be linear between these two points of reference. |
The pre-dividend organic cash breakeven is defined as the Brent price for which the operating cash flow before working capital changes) covers the organic investments. The ability of the Group to resist to the variations of the Brent barrel price is measured by this parameter. |
In addition, shares that have been definitively granted cannot be disposed of before the end of a mandatory two-year holding period.

Regulated agreements and undertakings and related-party transactions |
Procedure implemented by the Company pursuant to paragraph 2 of Article L. 225-39 of the French Commercial Code
The French Commercial Code introduced a control procedure of regulated agreements intended to prevent possible conflicts of interest between companies, their executive and non-executive directors or their shareholders with more than a 10% share of the voting rights. The legal framework is defined by Articles L. 225-38 et seq. of the French Commercial Code for limited liability companies. The regulation excludes intragroup agreements with a 100%-owned subsidiary, on the one hand, and ordinary agreements finalized under normal conditions, on the other, from the control procedure in Article L. 225-38 mentioned above.
In application of Article L. 225-39 of the French Commercial Code, amended by the PACTE Law n°2019-486 of May 22, 2019, at its meeting on February 5, 2020 and after examination by the Governance and Ethics Committee, the Board of Directors approved a procedure intended to specify the methodology and the applicable criteria for the qualification of these agreements and to regularly assess whether the agreements pertaining to current operations finalized under normal conditions by the Company properly meet these conditions.
The assessment procedure is based primarily on a declarative process. Once a year, every employee with a delegation of power completes and signs a declaration to certify and to confirm that all the agreements they have finalized or renewed in the name of and on the behalf of the Company in the past year, with one of the persons covered by the regulation, or a company, association, foundation or group, of which one of the said persons is a director, or with a company consolidated by global integration that is not 100%-owned by the Company, pertain to current operations and were finalized under normal conditions. All the declarations are collected and checked by the Audit & Internal Control Division.
In parallel to this declarative process, the Audit & Internal Control Division conducts an annual examination of a sample of agreements selected from the entries in the accounts of the elapsed year, and on the basis of the declarations made by the holders of delegated powers, to make sure that the selected agreements actually pertain to current operations and were finalized under normal conditions.
This examination is made according to criteria defined in the procedure that, on the one hand, qualify an agreement as an ordinary agreement finalized under normal conditions and, on the other, qualify the policies and measures deployed in the Group to oversee the conclusion of agreements. In particular, these measures include the purchasing policy (compulsory calls for tender, whenever certain thresholds are exceeded), the anti-corruption measures, the declaratory measures to prevent conflicts of interest, the fiscal policy for transfer prices and the invoicing rules applicable to Group operations.
The Audit & Internal Control Division publishes a written report of this examination of their work.
The Audit Committee annually examines the results of the controls carried out and verifies the relevance of the criteria specified in the procedure that are used to qualify agreements as ordinary agreements finalized under normal conditions. It reports to the Board of Directors on their work.
Based on this information, every year, the Board of Directors checks that the agreements on current operations finalized under normal conditions actually meet these conditions. The directors who are directly or indirectly involved in one or more of these agreements do not take part in their assessment.
Regulated agreements and undertakings
[REDACTED SECTION: CERTAIN TEXT HAS BEEN REDACTED.]
In addition, to TOTALs knowledge, there exists no agreement, other than the agreements related to its ordinary course of business and signed under normal conditions, engaged, directly or through an intermediary, between, on the one hand, any director or shareholder holding more

The number of shares authorized under the 13th resolution of the ESM held on June 1, 2018, cannot exceed 1,000 million shares. Pursuant to the 18th resolution of the ESM held on June 1, 2018, the Board of Directors decided on September 19, 2018, to proceed with a share capital increase reserved for Group employees or former employees, members of a company or Group savings plan, which took place on June 6, 2019 (see Note (d) below). Pursuant to the same resolution, the Board of Directors decided on September 18, 2019, to proceed with a share capital increase reserved for Group employees or former employees, members of a company or Group savings plan, in 2020 (see Note (d) below). As a result, the available balance under this authorization amounts to 971,952,663 shares as of December 31, 2019. |

The number of shares authorized under the 18th resolution of the ESM held on June 1, 2018 may not exceed 1.5% of the share capital on the date when the Board of Directors decides to use the delegation. Following the subscription requests made by employees, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, acting pursuant to the powers delegated by the Board of Directors on September 19, 2018, noted on June 6, 2019 the completion of the capital increase reserved for employees by issuing 10,047,337 shares. The meeting of the Board of Directors of September 18, 2019, decided to proceed with a share capital increase in 2020 with a cap of 18,000,000 shares (subscription to the shares under this operation is planned for the second quarter of 2020, subject to the decision of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer). As a result, the available balance under this authorization amounts to 10,980,879 shares as of December 31, 2019. |
(e) |
The number of shares that may be granted under the 19th resolution of the ESM held on June 1, 2018 may not exceed 1% of the share capital on the date of the Board of Directors decision. The Board of Directors decided to grant (i) on March 13, 2019, 6,447,069 shares and (ii) on May 29, 2019, 5,932 shares in respect of the matching contribution as part of the capital increase reserved for employees carried out in 2019 (see footnote (d) above). Thus, the number of shares likely to be granted as of December 31, 2019 is 19,565,809 shares. In addition, the shares granted pursuant to the attendance and performance conditions to the Executive Directors under the 19th resolution of the EGM held on June 1, 2018 may not exceed 0.01% of the capital existing on the date of the Board meeting that decided on the grant. Taking into account the 72,000 existing shares granted under attendance and performance conditions to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer by the Board of Directors on March 13, 2019, the remaining number of shares that may be granted to executive directors stands at 188,188 shares. |
Authorization to cancel shares of the Company
Pursuant to the terms of the 13th resolution of the Shareholders Meeting held on May 26, 2017, the Board of Directors is authorized to cancel shares of the Company up to a maximum of 10% of the share capital of the Company existing as of the date of the operation within a 24-month period. This authorization is effective until the Shareholders Meeting held to approve the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2021.
On December 11, 2019, the Board of Directors, pursuant to this authorization, canceled 65,109,435 shares representing 2.44% of the share capital on that date. This cancellation, combined with the
cancellation of 44,590,699 Total shares on December 12, 2018, brings the number of Total shares canceled in the last 24 months to 109,700,134, i.e. 4.22% of the share capital immediately available after the capital reduction of December 11, 2019.
Based on the 2,601,881,075 shares outstanding on December 31, 2019, the Company could, after taking into account the shares canceled on December 11, 2019, cancel 150,487,973 further shares, before reaching the cancellation threshold of 10% of share capital canceled over a 24-month period.

Provisions of the bylaws governing shareholders participation in Shareholders Meetings |
The Board of Directors decided to propose to the Annual Shareholders Meeting to be held on May 29, 2020 a plan to convert TOTAL S.A. into a European company (Societas Europaea or SE). The Companys bylaws amended as a result of this transformation project will be submitted for approval to the Shareholders Meeting to be held on May 29, 2020. The statutory provisions of TOTAL S.A. presented below are those resulting from the bylaws of TOTAL S.A.
4.4.3.1 |
Calling of shareholders to Shareholders Meetings |
Shareholders Meetings are convened and conducted under the conditions provided for by law.
The Ordinary Shareholders Meeting is convened to take any decisions that do not modify the Companys bylaws. It is held at least once a year within six months of the closing date of each fiscal year to approve the financial statements of that year. It may only deliberate, at its first meeting, if the shareholders present, represented or participating by remote voting hold at least one fifth of the shares that confer voting rights. No quorum is required at its second meeting. Since the entry into force of Law No. 2019-744 of July 19, 2019, the Ordinary Shareholders Meeting rules by a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders present or represented. The votes cast do not include those attached to shares in which the shareholder did not take part in the vote, abstained, or returned a blank or invalid vote.
Only the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting is authorized to modify the bylaws. It may not, however, increase shareholders commitments. It may only deliberate, at its first meeting, if the shareholders present, represented or participating by remote voting hold at least one quarter, and, at the second meeting, one fifth of the shares that confer voting rights. Since the entry into force of Law No. 2019-744 of July 19, 2019, the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting rules by a majority of two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders present or represented. The votes cast do not include those attached to shares in which the shareholder did not take part in the vote, abstained, or returned a blank or invalid vote.
One or several shareholders holding a certain percentage of the Companys share capital (calculated using a decreasing scale based on the share capital) may ask for items or draft resolutions to be added to the agenda of a Shareholders Meeting under the terms and conditions and within the deadlines set forth by the French Commercial Code. Requests to add items or draft resolutions to the agenda must be sent no later than 20 days after the publication of the notice of meeting that the Company must publish in the French official journal of legal notices (Bulletin des annonces légales obligatoires, BALO). Any request to add an item to the agenda must be justified. Any request to add a draft resolution must be accompanied by the draft resolution text and brief summary of the grounds for this request. Requests made by shareholders must be accompanied by a proof of their share ownership as well as their ownership of the portion of capital as required by the regulations. Review of the item or draft resolution filed pursuant to regulatory conditions is subject to those making the request providing a new attestation justifying the shares being recorded in a book-entry form in the same accounts on the second business day preceding the date of the meeting.
The Central Social and Economic Committee (formerly the Central Works Council) may also request the addition of draft resolutions to the meeting agendas under the terms and conditions and within the deadlines set by the French Labor Code. In particular, requests to add draft resolutions must be sent within 10 business days following the date on which the notice of meeting was published.
4.4.3.2 |
Admission of shareholders to Shareholders Meetings |
Participation in any form in Shareholders Meetings is subject to registration of the shares, either in the registered account maintained by the Company (or its securities agent) or recorded in bearer form in a securities account maintained by a financial intermediary. Proof of this registration is obtained under a certificate of participation (attestation de participation) delivered to the shareholder. Registration of the shares must be effective no later than midnight (Paris time) on the second business day preceding the date of the Shareholders Meeting. If the shares are sold or transferred prior to this record date, the certificate of participation will be canceled, and the votes sent by mail and proxies sent to the Company will be canceled accordingly. If shares are sold or transferred after this record date, the certificate of participation will remain valid and votes cast or proxies granted will be taken into account.

Information regarding factors likely to have an impact in the event of a public takeover or exchange offer |
In accordance with Article L. 225-37-5 of the French Commercial Code, information relating to factors likely to have an impact in the event of a public offering is provided below.
|
Structure of the share capital |
The structure of the Companys share capital as well as the interests that the Company is aware of pursuant to Articles L. 233-7 and L. 233-12 of the French Commercial Code are presented in points 6.4.1 to 6.4.3 in chapter 6.
|
Restrictions on the exercise of voting rights and transfers of shares provided in the bylaws Clauses of the agreements of which the Company has been informed in accordance with Article L. 233-11 of the French Commercial Code |
The provisions of the bylaws relating to shareholders voting rights are mentioned in point 7.2.4 of chapter 7. The Company has not been informed of any clauses as specified in paragraph 2 of Article L. 225-37-4 of the French Commercial Code.
|
Holders of securities conferring special control rights |
Article 18 of the bylaws stipulates that double voting rights are granted to all the registered shares held in the name of the same shareholder for at least two years. Subject to this condition, there are no securities conferring special control rights as specified in paragraph 4 of Article L. 225-37-5 of the French Commercial Code.
|
Control mechanisms provided for in an employee shareholding system |
The rules relating to the exercise of voting rights within the Company collective investment funds are presented in point 6.4.2 of chapter 6.
|
Shareholder agreements of which the Company is aware and that could restrict share transfers and the exercise of voting rights |
The Company is not aware of any agreements between shareholders as specified in paragraph 6 of Article L. 225-37-5 of the French Commercial Code which could result in restrictions on the transfer of shares and exercise of the voting rights of the Company.
|
Rules applicable to the appointment and replacement of members of the Companys Board of Directors and amendment of the bylaws |
No provision of the bylaws or agreement made between the Company and a third party contains a specific provision relating to the appointment and/or replacement of the Companys directors that is likely to have an impact in the event of a public offering.
|
Powers of the Board of Directors in the event of a public offering |
The delegations of authority or authorizations granted by the Shareholders Meeting that are currently in effect limit the powers of the Board of Directors during public offering on the Companys shares. Such delegations expire during a public offering.
|
Agreements to which the Company is party and which are amended or terminated in the event of a change of control of the Company Agreements providing for the payment of compensation to members of the Board of Directors or employees in the event of their resignation or dismissal without real and serious grounds or if their employment were to be terminated as a result of a public offering |
Although a number of agreements made by the Company contain a change in control clause, the Company believes that there are no agreements provided for in paragraph 9 of Article L. 225-37-5 of the French Commercial Code. The Company also believes that there are no agreements provided for in paragraph 10 of Article L. 225-37-5 of the French Commercial Code. For commitments made for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in the event of a forced departure owing to a change of control or strategy, refer to point 4.3.2 of this chapter.

Non-financial performance
|
Chapter 5 of this Universal Registration Document constitutes the consolidated statement of non-financial performance as per Article L. 225-102-1 of the French Commercial Code, and discloses how the Company and the entities included in the scope of consolidation, in accordance with Article L. 233-16 of the French Commercial Code, take into account the social and environmental consequences of their activities, as well as the effects of those activities with regard to respect for human rights and fighting corruption and tax evasion.
Pursuant to the above mentioned Article L. 225-102-1, this statement also includes information about the impact on climate change of the Companys activity and the use of the goods and services that it produces, its societal commitments in order to promote sustainable development, the circular economy, the collective agreements in place within the Company and their impacts
on the Companys economic performance as well as on employees working conditions, the actions aimed at fighting discrimination and promoting diversity, and the measures taken in favor of people with disabilities(1).
This statement of non-financial performance was prepared with the assistance of several of the Companys corporate functional divisions, in particular the Finance, Legal, Audit & Internal Control and People & Social Responsibility Divisions. The statement was reviewed by the Audit Committee and was thereafter approved by the Board of Directors.
The data presented in the statement of non-financial performance are provided on a current-scope basis. The reporting scopes and method concerning the information in this chapter are presented in point 5.11 of this chapter.
5.1 |
An ambition for the Company: |
to become the responsible energy major |
TOTAL is present in more than 130 countries. The nature of its activities and its geographical footprint in complex environments place the Group at the junction of a range of societys concerns relating to people, the environment or business ethics. Faced with these challenges, TOTALs ambition is to become the responsible energy major.
This ambition is embodied by the One Total Company project, which unites the various activities of the Group, its entities and all of its employees around a Companys evolution process with the aim to supply energy to an ever-growing population, taking into account the challenges of climate change and new energy production and consumption patterns. This ambition is based on the values restated and shared by all, (Safety, Respect for Each Other, Pioneer Spirit, Stand Together and Performance-Minded). These values guide the Groups actions.
TOTALs Code of Conduct sets forth the principles to be applied during day-to-day operations. It states the Groups commitments and expectations of each of its stakeholders and serves as a reference for employees and any other person working on behalf of the Group.
The Group employs a continuous process of identifying and mapping risks in order to develop sector-specific policies that reflect the desired level of control. The Group manages its activities through internal management systems implemented at the different levels of the company (headquarters, subsidiaries and sites). The Group thus performs regular assessments, following different modalities, of the risks and impacts of its activities in the areas of industrial safety, security, the environment, climate, workers and local residents protection, and business ethics. These assessments are generally carried out:
|
prior to investment decisions in the Groups industrial projects (safety and security studies, impact assessments, particularly environmental and societal), acquisition and divestiture; |
|
during operations; |
|
prior to placing new substances on the market (toxicological and ecotoxicological studies, life cycle analyses). |
These assessments incorporate the regulatory requirements of the countries where the Group operates and generally accepted professional practices. In addition, internal control systems are structured and regularly adjusted to align with the specific features of certain areas and the corporate strategic orientations set by the Board of Directors and General Management.
TOTAL intends to conduct its activities following a CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) approach that responds to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to which the Group has committed to contribute since 2016.
As part of its statement of non-financial performance, TOTAL has identified the main challenges linked to its activities. These are listed in the introduction to the sections relating to social information, health, safety, the environment, climate, human rights, the fight against corruption and tax evasion, its societal approach and contractors and suppliers relationships.
For its reporting, TOTAL refers to the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) and to the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) recommendations on climate. It also relates to the IPIECA guidance for environmental and societal issues. Detailed information on these reporting guidelines is available on the Groups website (sustainable-performance.total.com). The Groups contributions to the SDGs are illustrated below in the form of icons.
In 2019, TOTAL was again recognized as a LEAD Company by the Global Compact of the United Nations for its entire commitment to sustainability.
TOTAL also monitors its stakeholders perception of its non-financial performance. The Group intends to organize its action through a lasting approach of dialogue and transparency for its stakeholders. In terms of non-financial rating, TOTAL has been included continuously in the FTSE4Good index (London Stock Exchange) since 2001 and in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI New York Stock Exchange) since 2004. TOTAL has been listed on DJSI Europe every year since 2005, except in 2015. In 2019, TOTAL received for all its commercial entities listed on the EcoVadis platform the Gold status for four of them (Total Direct Energie, Total Marketing & Services, Total Refining & Chemicals et Saft group) and the Silver status for Total Gas & Power Europe.

The Group has not made any specific societal commitments in order to prevent food waste and food poverty or to promote animal welfare and responsible, fair and sustainable food, as these are not significant challenges with respect to the nature of the Groups activities. |

Social challenges |
Since 2016, the Group has set the ambition of becoming the responsible energy major. Because a company is first and foremost a people-driven adventure, this ambition depends primarily on the women and men who work at TOTAL, both today and tomorrow. Becoming the responsible energy major also means being a responsible company for the Groups teams and, in particular, a company that offers its employees opportunities to develop and thrive professionally.
The Group has identified its main challenges to developing Human Resources:
attracting and retaining talents in line with the key skills sought by the Group, based on the principle of non-discrimination and equal opportunity; maintaining employees long-term employability by facilitating skills acquisition in order to keep up with the development of job sectors and technologies; ensuring a high level of commitment based on respect for each other and improving quality of life at work.
|
In 2019, the Groups Executive Committee launched a key component of the company project that embodies the Groups human ambitions: the One Total, Better Together project seeks to identify the workstreams to be launched as a priority so that the development of each Group employee is commensurate with the Groups business goals and lives up to the employees expectations.
One Total, Better Together is structured around three main ambitions that are broken down into several implementation projects that concern all of the Groups subsidiaries(1).
One Total, Better Together aims to attract and develop talents all over the world, promote a management style that can make the most of our knowledge and expertise, pass on our values and make the company a good place to work together.
Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
|
To address its social challenges, TOTAL relies on the Group Human Resources division, which forms part of the People & Social Responsibility division, whose President is a member of the Executive Committee. In particular, the Group Human Resources division has the role of defining the Human Resources strategy and policies of the Group in accordance with the business challenges and the One Total Company project. In line with the multiple situations encountered in the field, it coordinates the promotion and roll-out of the new policies to support the various Human Resources departments in the Groups business segments.
5.3.1 |
Attracting and |
retaining talents |
Attracting and retaining the talents that the Group needs is one of the key factors in the implementation of the Company project. To address these challenges, TOTAL notably uses an appropriate management of employees joining and leaving the Group, the provision of individual support to each employee, a responsible compensation policy for employees, and the development of employee shareholding.

TOTALs workforce movements
TOTAL implements a proactive policy of recruiting young people at the start of their career, regardless of their job sector or background. The Group gives them the opportunity to forge a variety of career paths through continuous, tailored training programs designed to improve long-term employability. This enables TOTAL to adapt to structural and job sector changes.
In addition, TOTAL hires more experienced profiles for positions requesting key skills, while offering them long-term career prospects within the Group.
Within an economic environment exposed to oil price volatility, hiring increased by 8.1% compared to 2018. This represents a total of 14,606 employees hired on a permanent contract within the consolidated scope.
The regions that hired the most employees were Latin America (45%), mainly Mexico and Brazil (taking into account the high turnover rate in these countries), Europe excluding France (15.6%), France (14.9%), and Asia (10.6%). With 50% of Group hires, the Refinery & Chemicals segment is the largest recruiter, mainly within Hutchinson activity, ahead of the Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power segment (29.7%).

A responsible compensation policy |
The Groups compensation policy applies to all companies in which TOTAL S.A. holds the majority of voting rights. The aim of this policy is to ensure external competitiveness and internal fairness, reinforce the link to individual performance, increase employee share ownership and implement the Groups corporate social responsibility commitments.
A large majority of employees benefit from laws that guarantee a minimum wage, and, whenever this is not the case, the Groups policy ensures that compensation is above the minimum wage observed locally. Regular benchmarking is used to assess compensation based on the external market and the entitys competitive environment. Each entitys positioning relative to its reference market is assessed by the Human resources department of each business segment, which monitors evolutions in payroll, turnover and consistency with the market.
Fair treatment is ensured within the Group through the widespread implementation of a management job level evaluation (JL ³ 10)(2) using the Hay method, which associates a salary range with each job level. Performance of the Groups employees (attainment of set targets, skills assessment, overall evaluation of job performance) is evaluated during an annual individual review and formalized in accordance with principles common to the entire Group.

Non-financial performance
Social challenges |
The compensation structure of the Groups employees is based on the following components, depending on the country:
|
a base salary, which is subject to individual and/or general salary-raise campaigns each year. The merit-based salary-raise campaigns are intended to compensate employees individual performance according to the targets set during the annual individual review, including at least one HSE (Health, Safety, Environment) target; and |
|
an individual variable compensation starting at a certain level of responsibility, which is intended to compensate individual performance (quantitative and qualitative attainment of previously set targets), managerial practices, if applicable, and the employees contribution to collective performance evaluated, in particular, according to HSE targets set for each business segment, which represents up to 10% of the variable portion. In 2019, 86.6% of the Groups entities (WHRS scope) included HSE criteria in the variable compensation. |
Complementary collective variable compensation programs are implemented in some countries, such as France, via incentives and profit-sharing that also incorporates HSE criteria. According to the agreement signed for 20182020 applicable to the oil and petrochemicals sector(1) in France (scope of about 17,700 employees in 2019), the amount available for employee profit-sharing is determined based on:
|
financial parameters (the Groups return on equity as an absolute value and compared to four peers(2)); |
|
the attainment of safety targets (injury rate and accidental deaths in the oil and petrochemicals sector in France); |
|
criteria assessed at the level of the entity to which the employees belong, relating to employee commitment to priority areas identified by the Action! program, which is mainly driven by the corporate Foundation (Fondation dentreprise) in France; |
|
criteria relating to the performance of the entity in question (production, sales volumes, gross margins, operating costs, etc.). |
The Group provides pension and employee benefit programs (health and death) meeting the needs of the subsidiaries and the Groups standards with the aim that each employee can:
|
benefit, in case of illness, from coverage that is at least equal to the median amount for the national industrial market; |
|
save or accumulate income substitution benefits for retirement; |
|
arrange for the protection of family members in case of the employees death via insurance that provides for the payment of a benefit recommended to equal two years gross salary. |
These programs, which are regularly reviewed and, if necessary, adjusted, are rolled out by the subsidiaries and supplement those that may be provided for by local regulations.
5.3.1.3 |
A proactive policy to increase employee shareholding and employee savings |
Employee shareholding, one of the pillars of the Groups Human Resources policy, is extended via three main mechanisms: the grant of performance shares, share capital increases reserved for employees, and employee savings. In this way, TOTAL wishes to encourage employee shareholding, strengthen their sense of belonging to the Group and give them a stake in the Groups performance by allowing them to benefit from their involvement.
Each year since 2005, TOTAL has granted performance shares to many of its employees (approximately 10,000 each year since 2009). The definitive granting of these shares depends on the fulfillment of performance conditions assessed at the end of a vesting period extended to three years in 2013 (refer to point 4.3.4 of chapter 4). The 2019 plan approved by the Board of Directors of TOTAL S.A. in March 2019 granted a 6% higher volume of performance shares compared with the 2018 plan. Over 40% of plan beneficiaries had not received performance shares the previous year. More than 10,000 employees were concerned by this plan, over 97% of whom are non-senior executives.
TOTAL also invites employees of companies more than 50% owned in terms of voting rights, and subscribing to the Shareholder Group Savings Plan (PEG-A) created in 1999 for this purpose, to subscribe to share capital increases reserved for employees. Share capital increases reserved for employees take place annually. As a result, more than 60% of the Groups employees are TOTAL shareholders. Depending on the offerings chosen and the employees location, these operations are completed either through Company Savings Plans(3) (FCPE) or by subscribing Total shares or American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) in the United States.
Pursuant to the authorization given by the Annual Shareholders Meeting of June 1, 2018, the Board of Directors of TOTAL S.A. decided, at its meeting on September 18, 2019, a share capital increase reserved for employees to be completed in 2020 with a 20% discount. This operation will concern approximately 100 countries. Employees would receive a matching contribution of five free shares for the first five shares subscribed. The shares subscribed would give holders current dividend rights. The previous operation took place in 2019. Over 45,000 employees in 99 countries took part in this share capital increase, which resulted in the subscription of 9,845,111 shares at a price of 40.10 per share.
Employee savings are also fostered via the TOTAL Group Savings Plan (PEGT) and the Complementary Company Savings Plan (PEC), both open to employees of the Groups French companies that have subscribed to the plans under the agreements signed in 2002 and 2004 and their amendments. These plans allow investments in a wide range of mutual funds, including the Total Actionnariat France fund that is invested in Total shares.
A Collective Retirement Savings Plan (PERCO) is open to employees of the Groups French companies covered by the 2004 Group agreement on provisions for retirement savings. Other saving plans and PERCO are open in some French companies covered by specific agreements. Group employees can make discretionary contributions in the framework of these various plans, which their employer may supplement under certain conditions through a matching contribution. The Groups companies in France made gross matching contributions that totaled 71.1 million in 2019.

Maintaining employees long-term employability |
The Groups international dimension creates a rich multicultural environment and a diverse range of jobs. Maintaining employees long-term employability is another key factor in the successful implementation of the Company project. In order to manage this risk, the Group decided to invest in the development of employees by providing individual support and by implementing a tailored training policy that focuses on two areas: facilitating skills acquisition in order to keep up with the development of job sectors and technologies, and contributing to maintaining employees long-term employability.
Aware of these challenges, the Group launched the One Total Better Together project with the ambition of developing the talents of each employee by bringing more than 400 talent developers into the Group in 2019. The role of a talent developer is to assist each employee with his or her professional development while providing customized support. The professional development of employees stands at the heart of the Groups performance. It requires the drafting of an individual career plan. The Group enables all employees to take control of their professional development through a transparent and global system on which internal job offers are published (covering 90% of positions).
In addition, the technical and commercial know-how of employees and their ability to manage large projects underpin the Groups operational excellence and are essential for the Groups development. TOTAL therefore offers continuous, tailored training programs aimed at enhancing employees skills and employability. These training courses form part of an approach based on improving skills and supporting careers, including for employees moving between business segments and/or geographical region.
The Groups policy in the field of training hinges on five major areas:
|
sharing TOTALs corporate values, particularly with respect to HSE, ethics, leadership, innovation and digital technology; |
|
supporting the development of existing activities and creating new ones in order to achieve the Groups ambitions; |
|
increasing key skills in all business areas to maintain a high level of operating performance; |
|
promoting employees integration and career development through Group induction and training on management and personal development; and |
|
supporting the policy of mobility and diversity within the Group through language and intercultural training. |
The Group offers all of its employees, when taking up a new position, an individual training plan that lays down the employees training needs for the subsequent three years so that they have the resources necessary to be successful in the new position and can acquire new skills throughout the assignment. A catalog of more than 1,900 training courses is available.
In addition, the Group implements a management training course that enables managers to develop their skills from the moment they take up their position to the end of their careers. This course comprises a common training foundation and is a permanent part of each key stage in the managers career in order to support managers in their role as manager-coaches.
The Groups training efforts remained strong in 2019, with 77% of employees having attended at least one on-site training during the year, compared to 75% in 2018 and a total bugdet of around 163 million, compared to 157 million in 2018. In 2019, there were 249,784 days of on-site training, an increase of 6.7% compared to 2018, mainly due to the scope evolution.
The average number of days of training per employee decreased by 0.2 due to the integration into the scope of 21 companies, such as ARGEDIS, Hutchinson SRO Rokycany, Saft America Inc and SunPower Philippines Ltd, with higher number of trained employees (79%), with shorter training duration particularly on remote training. Outside the scope of new companies, the average number of training per employee is stable.

The scope covers the reporting of 121 companies representing a total of 91,998 employees. |
The change in the Groups e-learning system was an opportunity to carry out a complete overhaul of the training catalog with a new and finer distribution, implying that certain technical and HSEQ training are distributed to support function technical training. In 2019, the Other category is made up of 17% support function technical training, 5% in management, 5% in personal development, 3% in business and 4% in cross-functional training.
TOTAL has a technological training center, Oléum, which combines technical expertise with life-size technical learning platforms. The center operates on two sites in France (Dunkerque and La Mède), offering trainees a life-size Seveso environment and providing technical training notably in operations, maintenance, inspection, safety. Oléum welcomes interns from all sectors of activity of the Group worldwide, as well as partners and external customers. In 2018, a platform was introduced, enabling the delivery of the certified Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training course. This certification is mandatory for all personnel working on offshore platforms.

Ensuring a high level of commitment based on respect for each other and improving quality of life at work |
To ensure a high level of commitment from its employees, the Group promotes Human Resources development based on respect for each other and improving quality of life at work. TOTALs approach is based on a number of levers. In addition to the organization of work and social dialogue, TOTAL aims to promote equal opportunities and diversity. It intends to ban all discrimination related to origin, gender, sexual orientation or identity, disability, age or affiliation with a political, labor or religious organization, or membership in a minority group.
5.3.3.1 |
Promoting equal treatment of employees and banning discrimination |
Diversity is an integral part of the DNA and success of the Group, which is present in more than 130 countries. The Group has long been involved in promoting equal opportunities and diversity, and strives to promote an environment conducive to the expression and development of all employees potential.
The diversity of its employees and management is crucial to the Groups competitiveness, innovative capacity, attractiveness and acceptability. TOTAL works to develop its employees skills and careers while prohibiting any discrimination related to origin, gender, sexual orientation or identity, disability, age or affiliation with a political, labor or religious organization, or membership in a minority group.
This policy is supported at the highest level and promoted by the Diversity Council, which is chaired by a member of the Groups Executive Committee. The recruitment teams receive non-discrimination training. An internal guide entitled, Recruiting without discriminating, has also been implemented and is widely distributed. Initiatives aimed at raising employee and manager awareness of diversity are organized on a regular basis.
Each entity is responsible for creating a suitable work environment so that they offer all employees the same career opportunities and can benefit from all of the skills and diverse approaches they bring.
Promoting equal opportunity and diversity is part of a policy and has long been monitored. TOTAL was one of the pioneering groups with regard to diversity. It has prioritized two key components of diversity: gender diversity and internationalization, aiming to offer women and men of all nationalities the same career opportunities up to the highest levels of management. TOTAL set itself quantitative targets to be reached by the end of 2020.
In addition to the components of gender diversity and internationalization, disability forms an integral part of the Groups diversity policy. Initially deployed and coordinated in France, the disability policy was rolled out internationally in October 2018 through the signing of the International Labour Organization (ILO) Global Business and Disability Network Charter.
In September 2018, TOTAL renewed its commitment to diversity, equal opportunities and economic and social performance by signing the new Diversity Charter introduced by the network Les entreprises pour la cité in France. By signing this new charter, TOTAL reaffirmed its will to become a responsible employer. The Group was one of the 33 founding signatories of the charter when it was launched in 2004.
In November 2018, within the European Round Table of Industrialists (ERT) framework, TOTAL signed a pledge through which the signatories hope to strengthen the European movement to promote diversity and inclusion.
Equal treatment for women and men
TOTAL is committed to respecting and promoting the principle of equal treatment for women and men, while ensuring that it is correctly applied. Equal treatment for women and men is promoted in the Group through a global policy of gender diversity, quantitative targets set by General Management, Human Resources processes that take the issue of gender into consideration, agreements in favor of a better work-life balance and awareness-raising and training actions.
TOTALs commitment to workplace gender equality spans from recruitment to the end of a career. It guarantees equal treatment for women and for men in the process for identifying high-potential employees and appointing senior executives.
In order to ensure a more balanced representation of men and women among senior managers, the Group set the following goals, which are to be reached in 2020:
|
25% women senior executives: women made up 23.0% in 2019 and around 5% in 2004; |
|
18% women senior managers: women made up 17.4% in 2019 and around 8% in 2004; |
|
more than 20% women members on the Management Committees (head office and subsidiaries): women made up 23.9% in 2019; |
|
more than 20% women members on the Management Committees of branches and in large functional divisions: women made up 25.5% in 2019. |
To meet these targets, the Group creates mixed talent pools. At the end of 2019, women made up 31.1% of high-potential employees (15% in 2004) and 30.7% of high-potential Group employees destined to become senior executives (24% in 2014).
In terms of TOTAL S.A., TOTALs commitment to diversity took shape in 2016 as the President of the People & Social Responsibility division joined the Groups Executive Committee (eight people), which the President of the Strategy-Innovation division then joined in 2019. With regard to diversity in the 10% of the highest management positions of the Company, the proportion of women equals 16%. At Group level, which is the most relevant parameter considering TOTALs activities, this proportion equals 22%(1).
TOTAL aims to hire women in proportions that reflect, at a minimum, the percentages of qualifications awarded by the higher education establishments in its business segments. The Group strives to promote the same proportion of women and men with equivalent qualifications and experience within the overall population eligible for a specific promotion.
To encourage young women to choose to study technical subjects, TOTAL has been a partner of the Elles bougent organization in France since 2011 and served as honorary chairman in 2015. Some 130 female engineers regularly inform high-school girls about careers in science. Throughout the Group, female engineers and technicians from all cultures are encouraged to give talks to high-school girls and female students to illustrate womens contribution to the fields of science and technology.

Diversity is also promoted through action to change mentalities, and awareness, training and communication events are held regularly for managers and employees. Internal training courses such as Managing your career as a woman and Managing diversity are also available.
Through its mentoring activities and development workshops, the TWICE (Total Womens Initiative for Communication and Exchange) network also helps to develop the gender diversity policy. It aims to promote the progression of women within the Group, particularly to management roles, and help women further their careers. Created in 2006, it is currently in place in France and abroad (41 local networks) and has almost 4,000 members. Within this framework, a mentoring program is rolled out in France and internationally, and helps women to better anticipate the key phases of their careers. Nearly 1,600 women have benefited from this program since 2010. In 2018, the network launched the TWICE@Digital initiative to bring women working in the Groups digital fields together and, more generally, raise awareness of digital technology among women so that they could fully grasp the changes that are currently taking place and the impact of these changes on their work.
The signing of agreements, international charters and adherence to initiatives relating to diversity is emblematic of the Groups conviction at the very highest level of decision-making.
Thus, in 2010, TOTAL signed the Womens Empowerment Principles Equality Means Business set out in the United Nations Global Compact, and its commitment to equal opportunities and the equal treatment of women and men is regularly embodied in agreements that address the issue of diversity.
In 2016, TOTAL, along with 20 other oil and gas companies, got involved at the World Economic Forum by signing Closing the Gender Gap a Call to Action. This joint declaration is based on seven action principles (leadership; expectations and goal setting; Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) program; clear responsibilities; recruitment, retention and promotion policies; inclusive corporate culture; and work environment and work-life balance) and two decisive drivers: more diverse recruitment and greater openness of technical and management roles to women.

In terms of compensation, specific measures have been set in place since 2010 to prevent and compensate for any unjustified salary gaps. Regular checks are performed during salary-raise campaigns to ensure employees are treated fairly and men and women receive equivalent compensation for the same level of responsibility.
In France, in compliance with law no. 2018-771 of September 5, 2018, on the freedom to choose ones professional future, an index, based on a score of 100 and comprising five indicators (compensation gap, gap in individual pay raise rates excluding promotions, gap in the promotion rate, percentage of female employees who were given a pay raise in the year in which they returned from maternity leave, number of employees of the underrepresented gender among the ten employees who received the highest compensation) that concern compensation gaps between men and women and the actions taken to eliminate these gaps, has been published since 2019 for the three Social and Economic Units (UES).

In France, an equal opportunity agreement was negotiated with staff representative bodies in June 2019, applicable to the Socle social commun scope. It foresees, in particular, extending paternity leave to three consecutive calendar weeks, less stringent remote working conditions (whether occasional or not) and the right to return-to-work coaching following maternity leave.
Internationalization of management
With employees representing over 160 nationalities, TOTAL enjoys broad cultural diversity and believes that it is important to promote this at all levels of its activities. In 2019, 85.8% of employees hired by the Group and 55.0% of managers hired were non-French nationals. The increase in the representation of employees of non-French nationality in hires is mainly due to the development of SunPower and Hutchinson activities in Mexico, which represents 38.9% of the Groups hires and which are aimed mainly at non-manager profiles.
The Group has set a target of having local managers representing 50% to 75% of the subsidiaries Management Committee members by 2020 (they represented 54.8% in 2019, compared to 52% in 2018) and non-French nationals representing 39% of senior managers and 40% of senior executives (compared to approximately 19% in 2004 and 34.1% in 2019).
Several measures have been put in place to internationalize the management population, including career paths to internationalize careers, increasing the number of foreign postings for employees of all nationalities (approximately 4,000 employees representing more than 100 nationalities are posted in more than 100 countries), and integration and personal development training organized by large regional hubs (for example, Houston, Johannesburg and Singapore).

Measures promoting the employment and integration of people with disabilities
The integration and job retention of people with disabilities are covered by specific measures incorporated into the Groups diversity policy. TOTALs Disability Program is a structure within the Diversity & Competences department of the Groups Human Resources division and is responsible for leading the disability policy while relying on disability coordinators within the business segments and a network of expert contacts within the establishments.
In France, for over 20 years, TOTAL has implemented its policy to promote the employment of people with disabilities by signing agreements with employee representatives.
TOTAL promotes the direct recruitment of people with disabilities as well as their indirect employment by purchasing from the protected employment sector as part of its responsible procurement. At the same time, the Group takes various types of action:
|
internally: integration, professional training, support and job retention, communication, awareness-raising actions and sessions organized for managers and all the teams, as well as mandatory training for the Human Resources teams; mandatory awareness-raising actions within management committees are also worth noting; |
|
externally: information and advertising aimed at students, cooperation with recruitment agencies, attendance at specialized forums, partnerships with schools and universities. For example, in 2019, the Disability Program signed a partnership agreement with the association, Companieros, to fund training modules for Grande École students. As a result, tens of students from Université de Technologie de Compičgne, Centrale Lyon and the École Polytechnique, all of whom are future managers, received the Handimanager label. In addition, TOTAL took part in the first Disability Day organized at the École Polytechnique. |
In 2019, a new agreement was negotiated with employee representatives and signed unanimously. This agreement, extended for the first time to the Socle social commun scope in France, replaces the three existing UES agreements, which contained different measures. The new agreement harmonizes the measures implemented for employees with disabilities in the whole of France (almost 14,000 people) and was approved by Direccte for a period of four years (20192022). The average Group employment rate of people with disabilities in France (direct and indirect employment) was 5.1% in 2018 (compared to 5.2% in 2017). The new agreement aims to reach the statutory employment rate of 6% of employees with disabilities by the end of the four-year period. It is based on three major priorities:
|
recruitment, integration and professional support throughout the employees career; |
|
job retention, the adaptation of workstations and measures to compensate for the employees disability; |
|
the development of agreements and partnerships with the disabled and protected employment sectors (ESAT and EA). |
The agreement foresees the creation of five dedicated full-time positions: four disability coordinator positions integrated into the business segments to promote and relay the Groups disability policy within the operational entities and a dedicated recruiting consultant position tasked with identifying and prequalifying candidates with disabilities for all positions managed by the Recruitment department for France (regarding any type of contract).
This agreement also enables employees to voice their support for associations that work on behalf of those with a disability in front of a dedicated committee whose members come from the Disability Program and employee representative bodies. A specific annual budget is allocated for the duration of the agreement.
In addition, TOTAL supports organizations such as the Association Total Solidarité Handicap (ATSH), which was formed in 1975 by employees with children with disabilities. ATSH provides confidential moral and financial support, helps with paperwork and gives practical assistance to current and retired employees of the Group and their dependents in France who are affected by disability. It currently has over 350 members, a third of whom received help from the association in 2018. In November 2019, TOTAL signed the Manifeste pour linclusion des personnes handicapées dans la vie économique initiated by the Secretary of State in charge of People with Disabilities. This commitment charter aims to embody a strong ambition around a proactive approach in favor of the employment of people with disabilities. This public commitment completes the new agreement and the charter of the UNEA (Union Nationale des Entreprises Adaptées) signed in October 2019, promoting the employment in France of people with disabilities in adapted companies.
Internationally, the Groups actions to support employees with disabilities took on a new dimension at the end of 2018, with the ambition of going beyond the legal requirements in all of the countries where it operates. This aim was embodied by the signing of the International Labour Organization (ILO) Global Business and Disability Network Charter in October 2018. To date, 41 subsidiaries have voluntarily signed up to the scheme and have set goals for the next two years on the basis of the five principles identified as priorities by the Group: respect and promotion of rights, policy and practice of non-discrimination, accessibility, job retention, and confidentiality. Signing the ILOs Global Business and Disability Network Charter gave rise to a new dynamic that has translated into, in particular, a regular exchange of best practice between the subsidiaries and the provision of awareness-raising tools.
In January 2020, TOTAL joined the Valuable 500, a global initiative aimed at explicitly putting the inclusion of people with disabilities and the unlocking of their potential on the agenda of multinational companies.
Commitment to promote the professional integration of young people
TOTAL is committed to promoting the professional integration of young people, thus increasing their employability. It believes that for maximum impact, this issue must be tackled as early as possible in the education system, and has therefore put in place targeted actions tailored to the specific context of the countries where they are implemented.
In France, TOTAL aims at offering 50% of internships for high school (first year) offered to young people from priority neighborhoods. Implemented in Île-de-France in 2018, TOTAL extended this scheme to the regions in 2019. During the 2018/2019 school year, TOTAL welcomed 116 students from priority neighborhoods.
TOTAL recruited nearly 5,000 interns in France over the 20162018 period, corresponding to 5% of the workforce in France. In 2019, TOTAL decided to continue this scheme. In order to monitor this part of the workforce more closely, indicators that reflect the Groups priority commitments with regard to diversity, disability and the professional integration of young people from priority neighborhoods were implemented. As of December 31, 2019, the Group employed in France 1,554 interns, of which 30 had a disability. With regard to young people from priority neighborhoods, the Groups recent partnership with Mozaïk RH (a leading player in getting diverse talents into work), through its DiversifiezVosTalents platform, shall enable the Group to step up its commitment and improve the monitoring of this indicator.

In Africa, the Young Graduate Program run by the Marketing & Services segment offers graduates under the age of 26 an 18-month work placement. The program is split into two phases consisting of work experience at the subsidiary in the young persons home country followed by an assignment in another country. Since the program was launched in 2014, over 400 young people have taken this opportunity to improve their employability; in 2020, the program aims to exceed the milestone of 500 young graduates.
Volontariat International en Entreprise (VIE) is an international internship program that offers young graduates aged between 18 and 28, from France or other European Economic Area member states, a professional internship within a subsidiary and abroad for a maximum of 24 months. The program has been in operation within the Group since 2002, and over 1,700 young people have benefited from it to date.
A partnership with the Agency for French Education Abroad and the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs was signed in June 2019, through which TOTAL undertakes to finance five new Excellence-Major scholarships and thus participates, with the French government, in the promotion of French higher education to excellent students around the world.
Other anti-discrimination measures
The Group signed the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) Charter in 2014. Prepared by the LAutre Cercle association, it establishes a framework for combating discrimination related to sexual orientation or identity in the workplace in France.
TOTAL has written a practical guide to religion in the Group to offer concrete answers to employees questions about religion in the workplace and to promote tolerance of everyones beliefs, while respecting differences at the same time. The guide, which was posted on the Groups intranet site in March 2017, offers the keys to understanding different beliefs, so that everyone can better comprehend them in their everyday activities. Initially published in French and in English, the guide has since been translated into eight other languages. It has always been presented at human rights training courses run by the Group. It is also distributed on Business Ethics Day (on December 10 every year), celebrated in all of the Groups entities.

Adopting measures to meet the specific requirements of the organization of work |
The Groups activities are varied and, depending on the segments, require the implementation of specific regimes for the organization of work, such as the shift regime(1) and the rotational regime(2). Most shift workers are employed in the Refining & Chemicals, Marketing & Services and Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power segments, while the rotational regime mainly concerns the Exploration & Production segment.
The average work week is determined in accordance with applicable local law and limits set by International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions. Excluding specific regimes, it is less than 40 hours in most subsidiaries located in Europe, Israel, Mayotte and Qatar. It is 40 hours in most subsidiaries located in African, North American and Asian countries. It is above 40 hours, without exceeding 48 hours, in subsidiaries located in Latin America (mainly Mexico, Brazil, Dominican Republic and Argentina), a few countries in Asia (Philippines, India, Vietnam, China) and Africa (mainly Tunisia, South Africa, Morocco, Mauritius and Equatorial Guinea).
The challenges involved in the organization of work are many and varied depending on the regions of the world where the Group operates, and the applicable local law. The Group entities put in place measures to meet the specific requirements of the organization of work and promote, where possible, a good work-life balance.
Over the past few years, regular remote working has been rolled out within the Group.

France and Belgium have the greatest number of remote workers as this solution was introduced in these countries several years ago. In addition, as of December 31, 2019, 51.2% of companies offer occasional remote working.
As part of the roll-out of the One Total, Better Together project and in order to improve quality of life at work and ensure a better work-life balance, the Group announced in 2019 that it would generalize and allow throughout the world flexible working hours and voluntary remote working.
Among other solutions that favor a better work-life balance, employees also opt for voluntary part-time work.

France and Belgium have the largest number of voluntary part-time workers.
In addition, an agreement on the equal treatment of women and men in the workplace, applicable to the Socle social commun scope in France, was signed in June 2019. Aside from the equal treatment of women and men, the agreement covers parenthood and work-life balance, and strengthens the Groups approach to improving quality of life at work.
An agreement on the right to disconnect was also signed in October 2019 in France within the same scope. The agreement states that each employee has a right to disconnect in order to strike a better work-life balance. Line managers shall also encourage staff not to use digital work-related equipment outside of working hours.
In addition, as part of a global approach to preventing and managing employee absenteeism, the sickness absenteeism rate is one of the indicators monitored under the WHRS:

Promoting social dialogue |
Social dialogue is one of the pillars of the Company project. It includes all types of negotiations, consultations or exchanges of information between the Group entities, the employees and their representatives about economic and social issues and related to the life of the company. The subjects covered by dialogue with employees vary from company to company, but some are shared throughout, such as health and safety, work time, compensation, training and equal opportunity.
The Group strives to maintain this dialogue at both a local level and at the head offices or centrally, as well as through its membership of bodies and the signing of agreements.
Among the numerous stakeholders with which TOTAL maintains regular dialogue, the Groups employees and their representatives have a privileged position and role, particularly in discussions with the management teams. In countries where employee representation is not required by law (for example in Myanmar and Brunei), the Group companies strive to set up such representation. There are therefore employee representatives in the majority of Group companies, most of whom are elected.

The number of employees covered by collective agreements has increased: they were 66,822 in 2018 and 68,048 in 2019 within the WHRS scope.
At the European level, the European Committee enables the provision of information and discussions about the Groups strategy and social, economic and financial situation, as well as on matters relating to sustainable development, environmental and societal responsibility, and safety. It examines any significant proposed organizational change concerning at least two companies in two European countries, to express its opinion, in addition to the procedures initiated before the national representative bodies. An agreement was signed in July 2017. It contains some innovative measures allowing for better dialogue with the members of the European Committee (field safety visits and learning expeditions to discuss the Groups strategy directly on site). In 2019, European Committee members met 25 times.
The Board of Directors has decided to submit to the Annual Shareholders Meeting on May 29, 2020 a project to transform TOTAL S.A. into a European company (Societas Europaea or SE). The legal status of a European company is common to all the countries in the European Union and is used by an increasing number of companies in France and in Europe. This status will better
reflect the economic and social reality of the Group and fully recognize its European dimension. This project has no impact on social dialogue or the way in which social dialogue is conducted in each European Union country. The European Committee will be replaced by a European Company Committee representing the 25 European Economic Area countries in which TOTAL is present. To do so, a Special Negotiating Body (SNB), in which each European country is represented, was formed. TOTAL negotiates with the SNBs members the agreement on the European Company Committee, employee involvement mechanism in the future European company.
Social dialogue is also embodied by the signing of various European agreements: Plateforme sociale Groupe TOTAL in 2004, a European agreement on equal opportunities in 2005, and an agreement on financial support for the creation, development or takeover of SMEs in 2007 and in 2012.
Social dialogue also results in the signing of international agreements that are emblematic of the Groups conviction at the very highest level of decision-making. In 2015, the Group signed a global agreement with the international IndustriALL Global Union trades union federation on the promotion of human rights at work, diversity, the participation of employees and their representatives in social dialogue and the recognition of health and safety at work. Discussions to renew this agreement in 2020 are underway.
In December 2017, TOTAL also joined the worldwide Global Deal initiative, a multi-stakeholder partnership that aims to incite governments, companies, unions and other organizations to make concrete commitments to favoring dialogue with employees. The Global Deal promotes the idea that effective social dialogue can contribute to decent work and quality jobs and, as a consequence, to more equality and inclusive growth from which workers, companies and civil society benefit. In 2019, Global Deal members were invited by the French Republic Minister for Labor, in parallel of the G7 Social summit, to take part in two working groups, one on supporting universal access to social protection adapted to new needs and risks, and the other on the equal treatment of women and men at work. By sharing its practices with Global Deal companies, TOTAL contributed to the creation of a report entitled, Les membres du Global Deal sengagent pour le G7 social (Global Deal members commit to the G7 Social).
As a company that listens to the people who work for it, TOTAL continues to build on its Company project, One Total, through a participative approach that engages employees. This approach was illustrated in 2016 by the involvement of employees in a reflection of the Groups ambitions and values, and in 2018 by the One Total, Be Simple collaborative campaign focusing on employees day-to-day lives. Following further collaborative work that took the form of workshops, forums and an online collaborative platform that focused on a working text entitled, Pacte dengagement (Commitment agreement), which received thousands of contributions from around the world, the One Total, Better Together project was launched with the aim of specifying the Groups human ambitions.
In addition, every two years, TOTAL carries out an internal survey (Total Survey) among its employees to gather their views and expectations with regard to their work situation and perception of the Company, locally and as a Group. The results of the last survey conducted in 2017 among 70,000 employees in 124 countries demonstrated that employees have a commitment rate of 78% and that 85% of them are proud to work for TOTAL.
The following survey was launched in 2019 and its results will be received in the first semester of 2020.

Personal health and safety challenges |
TOTAL places safety at the heart of its ambition to be a responsible company. The operational measures and indicators used to manage the Groups activities are based on this fundamental value, in accordance with the strictest standards and with regard to health.
Given their specific nature, the Groups activities involve health and safety risks for the Groups employees, the personnel of the Groups contractors, and residents in the vicinity of industrial sites. Furthermore, certain products marketed by TOTAL may present risks for the health and safety of consumers.
In this context, the Group has therefore identified its main personal health and safety challenges:
|
preventing the occurrence of any major industrial accidents; |
|
preventing occupational accidents; |
|
preventing occupational health risks; |
|
minimizing risks for the health and safety of consumers. |
To address its challenges, TOTAL relies on the HSE division, which forms part of the People & Social Responsibility division, whose President is a member of the Executive Committee.
In line with the various businesses and environments in which the Group operates, the HSE division coordinates the promotion and implementation of Group policies to enable the HSE departments of the Groups subsidiaries to prevent or mitigate risks. Indicators are monitored so that the Groups actions in relation to personal health and safety can be continuously adapted.
TOTAL conducts its operations on the basis of its Safety Health Environment Quality Charter (available at total.com). It forms the common foundation for the Groups management frameworks, and sets out the basic principles applicable to safety, security, health, environment, quality and societal commitment. This charter is implemented at several levels (head office and subsidiaries). Group directives and rules define the minimum requirements expected. General specifications, guides and manuals are used to implement these directives and rules. The Groups subsidiaries implement these requirements by means of their own management systems, which take account of specific local circumstances and local regulatory requirements. The Groups framework is available to all employees.
Since 2018, an HSE reference framework common to all the business segments has progressively been rolled out in order to give greater overall consistency to the Groups operations, while continuing to respect the specific characteristics of the various business segments. This reference framework, named One MAESTRO (Management and Expectations Standards Toward Robust Operations), applies to all the Groups operated sites as defined in point 5.11 of this chapter (scope of One MAESTRO).
In order to evaluate the implementation of this framework, the Group performs audits at operated sites at least every five years. The sites themselves undertake self-assessments every two years. The Groups HSE audit protocol is based on the One MAESTRO framework and includes the requirements of the international standards ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018. The audit protocol is applied fully during self-assessments and according to a risk-based approach during audits.
Before any final investment, acquisition or divestment decision, the projects presented to the Groups Risk Committee are assessed in regard to health and safety risks for people.
Finally, the One MAESTRO framework provides that companies holding an interest in assets or activities that they do not themselves operate shall promote the Group HSE requirements and best practices and to endeavor to ensure that similar requirements are adopted by the operator. This process can be exercised during board meetings, technical assistance missions or through HSE audits or reviews, when these are provided for by a shareholders agreement. In 2019, the Group defined a new rule included in the One MAESTRO framework which aims at strengthening and harmonizing the Group-level assessments and follow-up of HSE risks relating to assets operated by third-parties.
5.4.1 |
Preventing the occurrence of major industrial accidents |
To prevent the occurrence of a major industrial accident such as an explosion, fire, leakage of hazardous products or mass leakage that might cause death, physical injury, large-scale pollution or pollution at an environmentally sensitive site, or damage to property, TOTAL implements suitable risk management policies and measures which apply to all the Groups operated activities that are exposed to such risks.
At the end of 2019, in addition to its drilling and pipeline transport operations, the Group had 180 sites and operating zones exposed to
such risks. These correspond to all the activities relating to operation, whether offshore or onshore, the exploration and production of hydrocarbons as well as the Seveso-classified industrial sites (upper and lower tier) and their equivalents outside of the European Union. This number of sites is down compared to the end of 2018 when 195 sites were listed. The number of these sites is stable for the Exploration & Production and Integrated Gas Renewables & Power segments but decreasing for Refining-Chemicals (closure of a site in Spain and divestment of two sites in China) and for Marketing & Services (acquisition of a site in Brazil and divestment of sites in Argentina, Belgium, Germany and Tanzania).

The Group implements a policy for the management of major industrial accident risks in order to minimize the potential impacts associated with its activities. This policy provides for an analysis of the risks related to the Groups industrial operations at each operated site, based on incident scenarios for which the probability of occurrence and the severity of the consequences are assessed. Based on these parameters, a prioritization matrix is used to determine whether further measures are needed. These mainly include preventive measures but can also include mitigation measures and may be technical or organizational in nature. These analyses are updated periodically, at least every five years, or when facilities are modified. Numerous studies are carried out or revised every year. For example, 29 studies were carried out between 2018 and 2019 concerning sites in the Marketing & Services segment which, at the end of 2019, had 97 SEVESO sites or equivalent.
The accidental risk management systems are in place from the early stage of design and construction of facilities or any modifications to these, as well as during the conduct of activities. They also cover the maintenance of the facility integrities over time as well as the effective and appropriate management of accidents if such events do, nevertheless, occur.
With regard to the design and construction of facilities, the Group has defined technical standards which include applicable statutory requirements and refer to good industrial practices. The construction of the Groups facilities is entrusted to qualified contractors which undergo a demanding internal selection process and which are monitored. In the event of a modification to a facility, the Groups rules define the management process to be adopted.
Furthermore, the Group extended its training program on managing risks of major accidents by proposing, in 2019, on-site training to the operating teams in addition to the training provided at head office. For example, with regard to the Marketing & Services segment, the course on Understanding of Major Risks and Integrity was attended by more than 500 participants at 44 subsidiaries between mid-2018 and the end of 2019.
With regard to the management of operations and integrity of facilities, the Group has defined rules to prevent specific operating risks that have been identified either by means of risk analyses or by feedback from the Group and industry. For specific works, the preliminary risk analysis may lead to the establishment of a permit to work, the process of which, from preparation through to closure, is defined. The Groups rules also provide a process to manage the integrity of facilities, which includes, for example, preventive maintenance, facility inspections, identification of safety critical equipment for special monitoring, management of anomalies and downgraded situations, and regular audits. These rules are part of the Groups One MAESTRO reference framework. The operating teams receive regular training in the management of operations in the form of companionship or in-person trainings.
The Group asks subsidiaries operating sites with the potential for a major industrial accident to identify an integrity function to manage this transverse process. Support to subsidiaries is provided by the Major Risks unit of the Group HSE division.
In terms of monitoring indicators, the Group reports the number of Tier 1 and Tier 2 loss of containment as defined by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP). The Group sets itself the aim of having fewer than 100 Tier 1 and Tier 2 events in 2019.
This target was largely met in 2019. In addition to the 73 Tier 1 and Tier 2 operational events indicated in the table below, the Group recorded 2 Tier 2 events due to sabotage or theft in 2019.

(b) |
Excluding TEP Barnett in 2017. |
Despite these measures, two major industrial accidents occurred in 2019, both in France: one at the Île-de-France Pipeline (PLIF) and the other at the Normandy Refinery. In February 2019, a leakage of 900 m3 of hydrocarbons occurred on the PLIF, at Autouillet in the Yvelines department of France. This spill resulted in soil pollution over approximately 4 hectares as well as in pollution of water courses. The remediation operations undertaken are described in point 5.5.2 of this chapter. In December 2019, a major fire occurred in the distillation unit in the Normandy refinery (France). The fire was brought under control using the refinerys own internal resources. It caused important damage but no injuries. These two events gave rise to an analysis in order to draw feedbacks. The other Tier 1 and 2 events had more minor consequences (injuries with lost time, small-scale fire or pollution or with no impact).
In order to manage any major industrial accidental efficiently, the Group has implemented a global crisis management system that is based primarily on an on-call system available around the clock, seven days a week, as well as on a dedicated crisis management center at head office that makes it possible to manage two simultaneous crises. The framework provides that subsidiaries draw up plans and procedures for interventions in the event of leaks, fires or explosions and to test these at regular intervals. The intervention teams at the subsidiaries and at the head office practice their crisis management activities regularly on the basis of scenarios identified by the risk analyses. These personnel may follow dedicated training depending on their specific functions. In 2019, 349 individuals followed the Crisis management training in the subsidiaries and at head office.
In addition, the Group started to roll out the Incident Management System (IMS) in the Exploration & Production subsidiaries in 2019. The IMS is a harmonized system for the management of emergency situations. It is described in an IPIECA good practices guide and is being progressively adopted by the majors. In 2019, seven Exploration & Production subsidiaries received training and performed a large-scale exercise in the application of the system. A total of 314 employees have been trained at the subsidiaries and at the head office.

Preventing occupational accidents |
The Groups One MAESTRO framework covers three main areas with regard to personal safety: the prevention of occupational accidents, the prevention of transport accidents, and the prevention of major industrial accidents as described in point 5.4 of this chapter. It relates to all employees of Group subsidiaries, employees of contractors working on a site operated by one of these subsidiaries, as well as employees of transport companies under long-term contracts. The safety results are monitored with the same attention for all.
Indicators measure the main results. In addition to its aim of zero fatalities in the exercise of its activities, the Group has set itself the target of continuously reducing the TRIR and, for 2019, of keeping it below 0.85 for all personnel of the Group and its contractors.

The efforts with regard to safety made by the Group over a period of more than 10 years have made it possible to reduce the number of occupational accidents by four between 2009 and 2019. Following a stabilization in performances in 2016 and 2017, the Group saw a 11% reduction in the number of accidents in the year 2019 compared to the results for the previous year. This improvement is due to the Groups constant efforts in the field of safety and, in particular, to:
|
the implementation of the HSE frameworks, which are regularly updated and audited; |
|
the prevention of specific risks that are particularly liable to lead to accidents, such as handling loads (ergonomics), road transport, foot traffic; |
|
training and general familiarization with safety issues for all levels of management (world safety day, special training for managers); |
|
the HSE communication work, towards all Groups personnel; |
|
the introduction of safety objectives into the compensation policy for Group employees (see point 5.3.1.2 of this chapter). |
The SIR raise between 2018 and 2019 is explained by an increase in accidents with a number of days off, (more than 30 days) especially in the M&S segment and a decrease in the number of accidents with a number of days off (less than 10 days) especially in the iGRP segment.
Despite these measures, fatalities occurred in 2019 among the personnel of contractors during construction work or maintenance operations in Belgium, France, the United States and South Korea. All were related directly or indirectly to work performed at height: fall
of a mobile platform while adjusting a pipe (Belgium), fall of a platform following the detachment of a guardrail (France), fall of a stepladder while dismantling an equipment (USA), fall of a roof being repaired (South Korea).
These fatalities, have led the Group to focus specifically on reaching a new milestone in the prevention of fatal accidents and on achieving Zero fatal accidents in the Group. As they are particularly affected, representatives of contractors took part in the corresponding discussions together with operational employees and Groups safety experts. The Group will strengthen its efforts in three priority areas :
|
the incorporation in the permit to work process of a ritual to be performed prior to undertaking work at the Groups operated sites (Safety Green Light); |
|
the conduct of joint on-site safety inspections together with the contractors; and |
|
the intensification of on-site checks in order to measure compliance with the safety rules. |
One MAESTRO rule concerning working at height was also reinforced. The progressive implementation of these measures at the Groups operated sites, accompanied by familiarization campaigns to draw attention to the most widespread risks of fatal injury, started in the final quarter of 2019 and will continue in 2020. Finally, on April 28, 2020, the Group will celebrate the World Day for Safety, on the topic of Our lives matter: Safety Green Light.
In addition, following a fatal accident associated with the explosion of a tank in Egypt in October 2018, the Group rapidly decided to roll out a large-scale accident prevention program focusing on the presumed causes of the accident, in anticipation of the investigation conclusions. Following webinar awareness-raising sessions, special training on risks associated with work at oil tanks was deployed with the involvement of approximately 3,500 participants from 90 countries. This program ended in mid-2019 with the distribution of a feedback document for immediate and mandatory application throughout the Group.
More generally, the Group has, for many years, implemented a process for the analysis of accidents, irrespective of their nature, with the method used and the level of detail involved depending on the actual or potential level of severity of the event. By way of example, a near miss with a high severity potential is treated as a severe accident, and its analysis is considered an essential factor of progress. Depending on its relevance to the other Group entities, it triggers a safety alert and the distribution of feedback, depending on the circumstances.
In the field of occupational safety, the Group also introduced, in 2010, the document Safety at Work: TOTALs Twelve Golden Rules. This has been widely circulated within the Group and brings together the fundamental rules which must be scrupulously observed by all personnel, whether employees or the staff of contractors, in all the countries and business segments in which the Group is active.
The aim of the Golden Rules is to set out simple, easy-to-remember rules that cover a large number of occupational accidents. In addition, further rules can be found in the One MAESTRO framework, the business segment frameworks and the subsidiaries frameworks.

According to the Groups internal statistics, more than 32% of severe workplace incidents or high potential severity near misses are related to an unfollowed Golden Rule. The correct implementation of these rules, and more generally, of all occupational safety procedures, is verified through site visits and internal audits. The Stop Card system, which was set up in 2015, also enables any employee of the Group or a contractor to intervene if any of the Golden Rules are not being followed.
The reporting of anomalies and near misses (approximately 700,000 per year) is strongly encouraged and is permanently monitored. The involvement of each employee in identifying anomalies or dangerous situations is an indicator of the employees involvement and vigilance in accident prevention and reflects the safety culture within the Group.
In addition, in 2016, the HSE department created a unit bringing together specialists on high-risk operations (work at height, lifting, high-pressure cleaning, excavations, etc.) in order to consolidate in-house knowledge and relations with contractors. In the same year, the Group HSE Division also created a unit aimed at providing support for sites to improve their safety culture upon their request.
In the field of road transport, the Group adopted a policy intended to reduce the number of accidents by applying standards that are, in some cases, more stringent than certain local regulations. This policy applies to the Groups personnel and contractors. For example, it comprises a ban on telephoning while driving, even with a hands-free set, a ban on using motorized two-wheeled vehicles for business travel, mandatory training for drivers, strict technical specifications for vehicles. Additional requirements are defined depending on the level of road traffic risks in the country and the nature of the activity. Thus, in countries with high road traffic risks, vehicles are equipped recorders of driving parameters and the conduct of drivers is monitored. Since 2012, a large-scale inspection program of transport contractors has also been rolled out by Marketing & Services. This calls on independent transport experts who inspect the practices and processes adopted by transport contractors with regard to the recruitment and training of drivers, vehicle inspections and maintenance, route management, and the HSE management system. Depending on the results of the inspection, transport contractor may be included in or excluded from the list of contractors approved by the Group. This program is gradually being extended to the Groups other business segments as required. Furthermore, a training center exists since 2015 in Radès in Tunisia. It offers transport trainings to the personnel of Marketing & Services subsidiaries and to transport contractors that are interested.
To measure the results of its policy, the Group has, for many years, been monitoring the number of severe road accidents involving its employees and those of contractors. The 27% reduction in the number of serious injuries between 2016 and 2019 is a testimony to the efforts that have been made. In 2019, the number of serious road accidents increased compared to 2018. However, there was no transport-related fatality.
The projects launched in 2018 on the use of new technologies for the prevention of road accidents were continued in 2019. In Marketing & Services, a new action plan has been introduced covering the fields of drivers behaviour, vehicles and preparation for emergency situations. In particular, the decision was taken to fit more than 2,500 vehicles with fatigue detection systems following conclusive tests performed over a period of several months. In addition, the second part of the SafeDriver video campaign was launched in 2019 and will continue until 2021. The subjects chosen for 2019 were blind spots, driver tiredness and driving in difficult situations.

(a) |
Overturned vehicle or other accident resulting in the injury of a crew member (declared incident). |
(b) |

With regard to air transport, a carrier selection process exists to limit the risks relating to travel by Group and contractors employees, if their journey is organized by the Group. This process is based on data provided by recognized international bodies: the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA), the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP), and civil aviation authorities recommendations. Airlines that do not have a rating from an international body are assessed by an independent body commissioned by the Group.
Preventive actions in the field of health, safety and the environment require all employees to adhere to the Groups safety policies. To this end, the Group provides training intended for various groups (new arrivals, managers, senior executives and directors) in order to establish a broad-based, consistent body of knowledge that is shared by everyone:
|
Safety Pass: These safety induction courses were started on January 1st, 2018, for new arrivals within the Group. Various courses exist depending on the position and cover the Companys main HSE risks, the risks linked to the site activities as well as those linked to the workplace. The theoretical content is supplemented by practical life-saving training sessions; |
|
HSE for Managers is aimed at current or future operational or functional managers within one of the Groups entities. Sessions are offered on all continents where TOTAL operates. In 2019, seven sessions, including four held internationally, brought together more than 287 managers; |
|
Safety Leadership for Executives is intended for the Groups senior executives. Its objective is to give senior executives the tools allowing them to communicate and develop a safety culture within their organization. The updated version of this course was validated during pilot sessions held in 2019. Five sessions were attended by more than 85 senior executives in 2019. The target is for all senior executives to have taken the new module within three years. |
In order to ensure and reinforce knowledge of the HSE framework documents , a tool designed to evaluate HSE-related knowledge and containing over 3,000 multiple-choice questions was developed in 2018 for use by the Groups HSE managers of subsidiaries or operated sites. This tool makes it possible to assess their knowledge and decide on a suitable training plan, if necessary. In 2019, 125 HSE managers took part in this knowledge assessment which corresponds to about half of the targeted population. The goal is to have the entire population assessed within 3 years.
In addition to the training measures, the HSE division is responsible for regular communicating and animation on HSE-related topics. Each month, central experts and specialists communicate a set of rules and good practices internal and external. In addition, 24 seminars, webinars or symposia involving the Groups subsidiaries were led by the HSE division in 2019.
Finally, safety, as a core value of TOTAL, is a component of the Groups employee compensation policy since 2011 at all level of the Company (refer to point 5.3.1.2 of this chapter).
With regard to security, the Group has put in place means to analyze threats and assess risks in order to take preventive measures to limit its exposure to security risks in the countries where it operates.

Preventing occupational health risks |
With regard to the prevention of occupational health risks, the Group One MAESTRO framework provides that subsidiaries of the Group identify and assess risks at the workplace in the short, medium and long terms and also provides guides for implementation. The analysis of these health risks relates to chemical, physical, biological, ergonomic and psychosocial risks. The framework results in the roll-out of an action plan. In addition, it requires that each Group entity sets out a formal medical monitoring procedure taking into account the requirements under local law (frequency, type of examination, etc.) and the level of exposure of its personnel to the various risks.
To complement this program, the Group has set up an employee health observation committee. The aim is to monitor the health of a sample of employees in order to identify the emergence of certain illnesses and, if applicable, suggest appropriate preventive measures. The data, which is gathered anonymously during medical examinations, covers approximately 10% of Group employees worldwide.
The Group also has a Medical Advisory Committee that meets regularly to discuss key health issues relating to the Groups activities. It decides whether there is a need for additional health protection strategies to be implemented. It consists of external scientific experts and also brings together the Groups senior executives and stakeholders concerned by these issues.
The Group has set itself the priority of preventing psychosocial risks (PSR). Therefore, it has launched a global voluntary program for the prevention of PSR that is intended to support all employees exposed to such risks, wherever they are in the world.
The global PSR prevention program is based on four areas of activity:
|
a minimum level of awareness and training for all through the distribution of a prevention kit, which has been translated into 11 languages and validated by international experts. This forms the starting point for all training activities; |
|
a single system for measuring individual stress and a collective assessment of the psychosocial risk factors in the working environment. This facilitates the production of action plans; |
|
a system for listening to and supporting all employees, irrespective of their geographical location. Supervised by international experts and available in more than 40 languages, it provides, as far as possible, care and support to employees in their mother tongue and in accordance with their specific cultural environment; |
|
regular monitoring of the indicators for enhanced control of the system. The implemented mechanism guarantees anonymity, confidentiality and the security of personal data during the entire period of support. |
All Group subsidiaries must ensure that they implement the Groups PSR prevention program or an equivalent local program.
A Quality of Life at Work and Health working group was set up in September 2018 to coordinate and ensure the effectiveness of all of the actions taken. Led by the Group Human Resources division, all of TOTALs business segments are represented, including the international medical department. In particular, the working group has the task of identifying the PSR reference persons for each Group subsidiary. At December 31, 2019, 153 PSR reference persons had been identified. In their respective subsidiaries, they actively contribute to the implementation of the four priority areas of action.
On a broader level, TOTAL is also helping to promote individual and collective health programs in the countries where it operates, including vaccination campaigns and screening programs for certain diseases (AIDS, cancer, malaria, etc.) for employees, their families and local communities. Action is also taken regularly to raise awareness of lifestyle risks (anti-smoking and anti-drinking campaigns, etc.).
Every year, in order to share information on the Groups progress in the area of Industrial Hygiene, the Group organizes a technical day of discussions on different subjects with the concerned business segments.
The Group has put in place the following indicators to monitor the performance of its program:
Health indicators (WHRS scope) | 2019 | 2018 | 2017 | |||||||||
Percentage of employees with specific occupational risks benefiting from regular medical monitoring | 98% | 98% | (a) | 98% | ||||||||
Number of occupational illnesses recorded in the year (in accordance with local regulations) | 128 | 154 | 143 |
(a) |
As an exception to the reporting principles described in section 5.11 of this chapter, the 2018 rate does not include a company that did not report its data in time for the 2018 WHRS. |
Musculoskeletal disorders, the main cause of occupational illnesses in the Group, represented 67% of all recorded illnesses in 2019, against 69% in 2018. The Group assesses ergonomic risks in accordance with a methodology defined above and trains personnel at its sites in the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders.
5.4.4 |
Limiting risks for the health and safety of consumers |
Unless certain precautions are taken, some of the petroleum or chemical products marketed by TOTAL pose potential consumer health and safety risks. The Group aims to respect the regulatory requirements in order to limit the risks throughout the life cycle of its products.
The Group has also defined the minimum requirements to be observed in order to market its petroleum or chemical products worldwide with the goal to reduce potential risks to consumer health and the environment. The identification and assessment of the risks inherent to these products and their utilizations form part of these requirements,

as does the provision of information to consumers. The material safety data sheets that accompany the petroleum or chemical products marketed by the Group (available in at least one of the languages used in the country) as well as product labels are two key sources of information.
The implementation of these requirements is monitored by specialist units in Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services segments of the Group. The task of these units is to ensure the preparation of safety documentation for the marketed petroleum or chemical products so that they correspond to the applications for which they are intended and to the applicable regulations. They therefore draw up the material safety data sheets, compliance certificates (contact with food, toys, pharmaceutical packaging, etc.) and ensure REACH registration, if necessary. They also monitor scientific and regulatory developments and verify the rapid implementation of new sheets and updates within the Group entities.
Governance of the process is rounded off within the Groups business units or subsidiaries of Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services segment through the designation of a product steward who ensures compliance during the market release of his or her entitys petroleum or chemical products. The networks of product steward are coordinated by the Groups specialist units either directly or via an intermediate regional level in the case of the Marketing & Services segment.
The safety data sheets for oil and gas produced by the Exploration & Production and of Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power subsidiaries are produced by the Marketing & Services expertise center. The conformity of the marketing process of these products is ensured by the subsidiary.
Finally, the Group has set up an intersegmental working group that works on the harmonization of practices and classifications for the petroleum or chemical products common to the different segments, as well as on the development of good practices.
5.5 |
Environmental challenges |
TOTAL places the environment at the heart of its ambition of being a responsible company. The specificities of the Groups activities incur environmental risks, for which TOTAL has developed a structured management policy.
The Group has therefore identified its main environmental challenges:
|
preventing risks of accidental pollution; |
|
limiting its environmental footprint by managing energy consumption, emissions in natural environments (water, air, soil) and use of natural resources; |
|
managing impacts to biodiversity and ecosystems during projects and operations especially when situated in sensitive natural environments; |
|
limiting its production of residual waste by supporting the circular economy. |
To address its challenges, TOTAL relies on the HSE division, which is part of the People & Social Responsibility division, whose President is a member of the Executive Committee. In particular, the HSE division is tasked with defining the HSE strategy and policies of the Group in line with the business challenges and the One Total Company project.
The HSE division manages in an integrated manner the environmental, security, health and societal challenges associated with the Groups operations. It coordinates the implementation of the Groups Health, Safety, Environment and Quality charter by defining and monitoring the implementation of the One MAESTRO reference framework. This reference framework and the corresponding audits are described in detail in point 5.4 of this chapter.
Environmental indicators have been monitored for many years in order to constantly adapt the Groups environmental protection measures, which are presented in this section.
5.5.1 |
General policy and environmental targets |
In keeping with its Safety Health Environment Quality charter, TOTAL considers respect for the environment to be a priority. All employees, at every level, must do their utmost to protect the environment as they go about their work. TOTAL strives to control its energy consumption, its emissions in natural environments (water, air, soil), its residual waste production, its use of natural resources and its impact on biodiversity. TOTAL takes a constructive approach on this topic that is based on transparency and dialogue when communicating with its stakeholders and third parties.
To this end, the HSE division and the HSE departments within the Groups entities seek to ensure both applicable local regulations and internal requirements resulting from the Safety Health Environment Quality Charter and the Groups additional commitments are respected. Group steering bodies, led by the HSE division, are tasked with:
|
monitoring TOTALs environmental performance, which is reviewed annually by the Audit Committee, for which multi-annual improvement targets are set; |
|
handling, in conjunction with the business segments, the various environment-related subjects of which they are in charge; and |
|
promoting the internal standards to be applied by the Groups operational entities. |

The Groups internal requirements state that the environmental management systems of the sites operated by the Group that are important for the environment(3) must be ISO 14001 certified within two years of start-up of operations or acquisition: 100% of these 77 sites were compliant in 2019. Beyond these internal requirements, at the end of 2019, a total of 281 sites operated by the Group were ISO 14001 certified. In 2019, 7 sites were newly ISO 14001 certified.
The internal rules stipulate that all projects of investment, divestment or acquisition submitted to the Risk committee of the Group must be assessed and reviewed with regards to their risks and potential impact, particularly environmental, before the final investment decision is made.
TOTAL seeks to ensure that all employees share its environmental protection requirements. Employees receive training in the required skills. TOTAL also raises employee awareness through internal communication campaigns (e.g., in-house magazines, intranet, posters). The 2019 World Environment Day focused on good practices that protect biodiversity on the Groups sites. To mark the occasion, instructive materials were developed to teach employees more about biodiversity.
5.5.2 |
Preventing risks of accidental pollution |
To prevent incident risks and, in particular, major spills that could reach the environment, TOTAL implements appropriate policies of risk management. Point 5.4.1 of this chapter describes the management measures covering the design and construction of facilities, changes to existing facilities, operations and the control of the integrity of facilities. It also describes the measures taken to control the integrity of facilities over time.
For its sea and river shipment requirements, TOTAL only charters ships and barges that meet the highest international standards. The Group has an internal policy that lays down the process and criteria by which ships and barges are selected (known as vetting). These criteria are based, in particular, on the regulations, the best practices and recommendations of the OCIMF(4) and, in Europe, on the European Barge Inspection Scheme (EBIS). Tankers and barges are vetted by a single centralized Group entity. The average age of the Group Shipping divisions time-chartered fleet is approximately six years.
With regard to operated marine terminals, the Group follows an initiative that seeks to record their physical characteristics and store this data in a global database that forms part of the Marine Terminal Information System (MTIS) of the OCIMF. At the end of 2019, 95% of coastal and offshore marine terminals had submitted their characteristics, thereby making it easier to assess the compatibility of ships with the ports of call. Additionally, TOTAL encourages all
maritime terminals to use the Marine Terminal Management Self-Assessment (MTMSA), the framework recommended by the industry for the self-assessment of terminals and the continuous improvement of the safety of product transfers. A training course on ship/shore interface management (SSSCL Ship Shore Safety Check List) and cargo transfer operations, developed by the Group in 2016, had been completed by operators of 80% of operated-terminals by the end of 2019.
In order to manage a major accidental spill efficiently, TOTAL implemented a global crisis management system that is described in point 5.4.1 of this chapter.
For the sites operated by the Group exposed to the risk of accidental spills that reach the surface water, this system is supplemented by the requirements of the One MAESTRO reference framework. These requirements demand that the oil spill contingency plans be regularly reviewed and tested in exercises. These plans are specific to each site and are adapted to their structure, activities and environment while complying with Group recommendations.
The Group companies can call on in-house human and material resources (Fast Oil Spill Team, FOST) and benefit from assistance agreements with the main third-party organizations specialized in the management of hydrocarbon spills.

For the oil and gas exploration & production activities, since 2014, subsea capping and subsea containment equipment that can be transported by air has been strategically positioned at various points of the world (South Africa, Brazil, Norway and Singapore). This equipment provides solutions that are readily available in the event of oil or gas blowout in deep offshore drilling operations. From these locations, the equipment can benefit TOTALs operations worldwide. This equipment was developed by a group of nine oil companies, including TOTAL, and is managed by Oil Spill Response Ltd (OSRL), a cooperative dedicated to the response to marine pollution by hydrocarbons.
TOTAL has also designed and developed its own capping system (Subsea Emergency Response System) to stop potential eruptions in drilling or production operations as quickly as possible. Since 2015, equipment has been installed in Angola, then the Republic of Congo, potentially covering the entire Gulf of Guinea region. In March 2019, one of these pieces of equipment was deployed and tested at more than 1200 m water depth during a large-scale exercise in Nigeria.

In accordance with industry best practices, TOTAL monitors accidental liquid hydrocarbon spills of more than one barrel. Spills that exceed a predetermined severity threshold are reviewed on a monthly basis and annual statistics are sent to the Group Performance Management Committee. All spills are followed by corrective actions aimed at returning the environment to an acceptable state as quickly as possible.

In February 2019, 900 m3 of hydrocarbons leakage from the Île-de-France pipeline (PLIF) in Autouillet , which was the largest oil and gas spill impacting the environment in 2019. This spill polluted about four hectares of soil and watercourses. All the banks were cleaned, traces of oil were removed from the watercourses, 800 m3 of a mix of water and oil were disposed of, 49,000 m3 of earth were excavated and the groundwater was checked for signs of impacts. This process was monitored by more than 3,000 laboratory analyses of the environment (water, air, soil). In 2020, a further 3,000 m3 of earth will be excavated and disposed of, and the ground and surface water will continue to be monitored.
5.5.3 |
Limiting the environmental footprint |
Wherever TOTAL conducts its business, it makes sure that it complies with applicable laws and regulations, which the Group complements with specific requirements and commitments when necessary. TOTAL implements a policy of avoiding, reducing, managing and monitoring the environmental footprint of its operations. As part of this policy, emissions are identified and quantified by environment (water, air and soil) so that appropriate measures can be taken to better control them.
Water, air
The Groups operations generate emissions into the atmosphere from combustion plants and the various conversion processes and discharges into wastewater. In addition to complying with applicable legislation, the Group drew up a guide that the Group subsidiaries can use to limit the quantities discharged. More particularly, the Group set itself targets for the reduction in sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions and committed to limiting its hydrocarbons discharges in water. After analyses have been conducted, the exposed sites can introduce various reduction systems that include organizational measures (such as using predictive models to control peaks
in sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions based on weather forecast data and the improvement of combustion processes management, etc.) and technical measures (wastewater treatment plants, using low NOx burners and electrostatic scrubbers, etc.). Today, all the refineries owned exclusively by the Group have this type of system.
For new facilities developed by the Group, the internal rules require impact assessments to be carried out on these emissions and, if necessary, actions must be taken to limit their impact.
In 2010, SO2 emissions reached 99 kt. The Group set itself the target of not exceeding 49.5 kt by 2020; it has met this target since 2017.

SO2 emissions that are likely to cause acid rain are regularly checked and reduced. The decrease in these emissions in 2019 is mainly due to a decrease in activity at refining units and the implementation of a more stringent policy concerning acid gas flaring by the Exploration & Production segment in the United Arab Emirates.
NOx emissions mainly concern hydrocarbon exploration and production activities and are primarily located offshore and far away from the coast. Their impact on air quality is therefore considered to be minor. The increase in 2019 is mainly due to an increase in offshore drilling and logistics activities.

Soil
The risks of soil pollution related to TOTALs operations come mainly from accidental spills (refer to point 5.5.2 of this chapter) and waste storage (refer to point 5.5.5 of this chapter).
The Group has drawn up a guide that the subsidiaries can use to prevent and contain this pollution. The guide recommends an approach based on four pillars:
|
preventing leaks, by implementing, as far as possible, industry best practices in engineering, operations and transport; |
|
carrying out maintenance at appropriate frequency to minimize the risk of leaks; |
|
overall monitoring of the environment to identify any soil and groundwater pollution; and |
|
managing any pollution from previous activities by means of containment and reduction or elimination operations. |
In addition, a Group rule defines the following minimum requirements:
|
systematic identification of each sites environmental and health impacts related to possible soil and groundwater contamination; |
|
assessment of soil and groundwater contamination based on various factors (extent of pollution inside or outside the sites boundaries, nature and concentrations of pollutants, presence of a vector that could allow the pollution to migrate, use of the land and groundwater in and around the site); and |
|
management of health or environmental impacts identified based on the use of the site. |
Lastly, decommissioned facilities operated by the Group (i.e., chemical plants, service stations, mud pits or lagoons resulting from hydrocarbon extraction operations, wasteland on the site of decommissioned refinery units, etc.) impact the landscape and may, despite all the precautions taken, be sources of chronic or accidental pollution. In addition to the appropriate management of waste produced by the dismantling and securing of sites, TOTAL has
created a policy to evaluate and manage the risks related to soil and groundwater pollution. For sites at the end of their life cycle, management of pollution takes into account regulatory obligations as well as the aim of the Group to retain control over the use of these sites, favoring redevelopment its activities (solar, reforestation, etc.) Remediation operations are conducted by specialized entities created by the Group. At the end of 2019, 114 industrial sites that were no longer in operation (excluding service stations) were in the process of remediation.
The Groups provisions for the protection of the environment and site remediation are detailed in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements (refer to point 8.7 of chapter 8).
Sustainable use of resources
Fresh water
The Groups activities, mainly those of Refining & Chemicals, and to a lesser extent those of the Exploration & Production and the Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power segments, may potentially have an impact on, as well as be dependent on, water resources. This is especially true when an activity is located in a water resources sensitive environment.
Fully aware of these challenges, TOTAL implements the following water risk management actions:
|
monitor water withdrawals to identify priority sensitive sites and then carry out a risk assessment; |
|
improve the water resources management depending on identified needs, by adapting the priority sites environmental management system. |
In order to identify its facilities exposed to the risk of water stress, TOTAL records the withdrawal and discharge of water on all of its operated sites for this indicator and assesses these volumes on the basis of the current and future water stress indicators of the WRI(1) Aqueduct tool. Currently, 9.3%(2) of freshwater withdrawals take place in a global water stress area. For the sites situated in these areas and that withdraw more than 500,000 m³ per year, TOTAL assesses water resources risk levels using, in particular, the Local Water Tool (LWT) for Oil & Gas from the Global Environmental Management Initiative (GEMI). This tool also helps guide the actions taken to mitigate the risks and to make optimal use of water resources on the sites when necessary.
This risk assessment establishes that the activities of the sites operated by the Group only expose the other users of the water to a relatively low risk of water stress. Following this assessment, two sites were identified in 2019 as being at risk and were reported to the CDP(3): the Grandpuits and Normandy refineries. The risk concerns the supply of water to these sites, which could be cut in order to maintain access to water for priority users. In 2020, the analysis process is expected to be extended to four additional sites.
In 2019, the Group answered the CDP Water survey for the 2018 period and was, for the third consecutive year, graded A-. The main indicator used in this reporting is fresh water withdrawal.

Soil
TOTAL uses the ground surface that it needs to safely conduct its industrial operations and, in 2019, did not make extensive use of ground surfaces that could substantially conflict with various natural ecosystems or agriculture.
Worldwide, biofuels used by the Group meet sustainability requirements as per regulations. TOTAL produces and markets biofuels partly produced from agricultural raw materials. All the biofuels incorporated by the Group in Europe are certified as sustainable ISCC EU type certification according to the criteria required by the European Union. This certification imposes criteria of
sustainability and traceability of the oils (carbon footprint, non-deforestation, proper soil use, respect for Human Rights). Those criteria apply to the entire production and distribution chain of the sustainable biofuels and were strengthened in 2019 as part of the revision of the Directive on renewable energy in transport. In particular, the European Union caps the use of agriculture raw materials in biofuels to limit changes in land use.
In July 2019, TOTAL started up the La Mède biorefinery in France that is expected to produce biofuels from 60-70% of vegetable oils (rape, palm, etc.) and 30-40% of waste and residues. TOTAL selects a limited number of suppliers of palm oil and completes the certification with a specific reinforced control system of sustainability and the respect of human rights.
5.5.4 |
Managing impacts to biodiversity and ecosystems during projects and operations |
TOTALs activities may potentially be located in sensitive natural environments.
The Group is fully aware of this challenge and takes biodiversity and ecosystems into account in its reference frameworks, the founding element of which is its Safety Health Environment Quality charter, as well as in tis projects and operations. Thus, for new facilities developed by the Group, internal rules require that impact assessment taking into account biodiversity and ecosystems be carried out and that action be taken if necessary. For existing facilities, the Group recommends that its subsidiaries apply the avoid reduce restore compensate approach.
In July 2018, and within the framework of the Act4Nature initiative, the Group made 16 biodiversity commitments to make this policy more tangible. The 16 commitments are described in the biodiversity brochure available on the website sustainable-performance.total.com. There are 10 general commitments common to all of the signatory companies and an additional six commitments specific to TOTAL, some of which existed before the initiative. These differentiate the Group from its competitors.
The commitments are currently being implemented. A review of the actions that have already been performed on the first three priority commitments is provided below.
TOTAL commitments | Achievements | |
Commitment No. 1 |

The Group extended its commitment not to engage in oil and gas exploration or extraction operations at natural sites included on the UNESCO World Heritage List of December 31, 2018.
|
This commitment is respected. | |
Commitment No. 2 |
||
TOTAL does not conduct any oil exploration activities in oil fields under sea ice in the Arctic. |
The Group publishes on its website sustainable-performance.total.com, a list of its licenses in the Arctic. In 2019, no exploration activities have been conducted in the oil fields under sea ice in the Arctic.
|
|
Commitment No. 3 |
||
TOTAL develops biodiversity action plans for operated production sites located in the most sensitive protected areas. |
A biodiversity action plan has been developed for all the operated production sites located in the most sensitive protected areas, corresponding to the UICN I to IV and Ramsar categories. Consequently, the biodiversity action plan developed in 2015 for Djeno in the Republic of the Congo is still being implemented, particularly with regards to the ecosystem services of Lagune de la Loubie. Other action plans are deployed in Italy (Tempa Rossa project) and in Mozambique (Mozambique LNG project) or are being prepared but not yet deployed in Uganda (Tilenga project), Tanzania (EACOP project) and Papua New Guinea (Papua LNG project).

In order to continue sharing its biodiversity data and tools with the scientific community, the Group joined the international Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), the French hub of which is the French National Natural History Museum. The first data loaded concerns the Groups projects in Angola(1). Data loading will continue in 2020 with, for example French, Guiana. TOTAL is the first major to join GBIF. | In addition, the collaboration program with the University of Oxford in United Kingdom (Long Term Ecology Laboratory), in partnership with Equinor, has continued. Initiated in 2018, the aim of this program is to develop a tool for screening of marine biodiversity sensitivities. Its simplified version is online(2) and is accessible to the public. A more complete version, initiated in 2019, is scheduled for the end of 2020. |

Finally, in 2019, communication actions were carried out in order to raise awareness of biodiversity among Group employees. The United Nations World Environment Day was celebrated on the theme of Biodiversity. On this occasion, the Act4Nature commitments and the Groups Biodiversity actions were presented.
Around 30 employees from the headquarter offices also benefited from training provided by the French National Natural History Museum following this event. In addition, around 350 employees were made aware of the Groups commitments during the Groups One HSE seminar.
5.5.5 |
Promoting a better use of natural resources by supporting the circular economy |
Between 2017 and 2020, TOTAL is rolling out a range of actions that includes targets for progress in various areas:
|
valorize more than 50% of the waste produced by the sites operated by the Group; |
|
improve by an average of 1% per year the energy efficiency of the Groups operated industrial facilities; |
|
incorporate a criterion dedicated to the circular economy into the Companys purchases. |
Additionally, TOTAL has set itself the target of:
|
producing 30% of its polymers from recycled materials by 2030 (the commitment published in 2018 to develop polymers comprising more than 50% of recycled plastics was achieved in 2019); |
|
installing solar panels on 5,000 service stations. |
What has been accomplished:
|
more than 50% of the waste produced by the sites operated by the Group was valorized in 2019; |
|
the Group reached its energy efficiency target in 2017 (refer to point 5.6.4 in this chapter); |
|
production of 20,000 tons of recycled polypropylene per year and, further to the conclusive industrial-scale tests, creation and marketing of 15 grades of polyethylene, polypropylene and polystyrene compounds containing up to 50% of recycled materials; |
|
by the end of 2019, solar panels had been installed on 1,436 service stations. |
With regards to food waste and food poverty, the Groups activities pertaining to food distribution are minor and are therefore not directly affected by these issues.
Waste prevention and management
Regarding waste in particular, a Group directive lays down a number of minimum waste-management requirements, which limit the potential risks associated with the improper management of waste. Waste management is carried out in four basic stages: waste identification (technical and regulatory); waste storage (soil protection and discharge management); waste traceability, from production through to disposal (e.g., notes, logs, statements); and waste treatment, with technical and regulatory knowledge of the relevant processes, under the sites responsibility.
The Groups companies are also focused on controlling the waste produced on all of the operated sites, at every stage in their operations. This approach is based on the following four principles, listed in decreasing order of priority:
|
reducing waste at source by designing products and processes that generate as little waste as possible, as well as minimizing the quantity of waste produced by the Groups operations; |
|
reusing products for a similar purpose in order to prevent them from becoming waste; |
|
recycling residual waste; and |
|
recovering energy, wherever possible, from non-recycled products. |
TOTAL deploys programs on its operated sites to valorize the majority of the Groups waste. In 2019, the active sites operated by the Group generated 662kt of waste of which 288kt of hazardous waste. The Groups target is to valorize more than 50% of the waste produced by these sites. This target was achieved:
Waste treatment processes(a) | 2019(c) | 2018 | 2017 | |||||||||
Valorization (recycling, material or energy valorization)(b) | 65% | 57% | 59% | |||||||||
Landfill | 15% | 18% | 13% | |||||||||
Others (incineration without valorization, biotreatment without valorization, etc.) | 20% | 25% | 28% |
(a) |
Excluding drilling cuttings, excluding sites that have ceased operations and are in the process of being remediated. |
(b) |
The valorization percentages of 2017 and 2018 exclude excavated soil in the scope of the Port Arthur Ethan Cracker project. It was exceptional non-hazardous waste associated with the construction of a new installation which was used as soil cover in a landfill. Refer to point 5.11 of this chapter for the scope of reporting. |
(c) |
The tonnages of waste from 10 Hutchinson sites were estimated in 2019 based on their 2018 reporting. Waste from those 10 sites represented around 1% of the Groups total tonnage in 2018. |
The increase in the valorization percentage in 2019 is mainly due to the valorization, at the biological treatment center, of 83kt of polluted soil resulting from remediation work related to the incident on the Île-de-France pipeline. The Groups valorization percentage would have been 60% without this soil.
Since 2015, all the Refining & Chemicals segments plastic production sites worldwide are participating in the CleanSweep® program, which aims to achieve zero loss of plastic pellets in handling operations. CleanSweep® is an international program that aims to avoid losses of plastic pellets during handling operations by the players in the plastics industry, so that they are not disseminated into the aquatic environment. Since 2018, the program has been deployed at all polymer sites in the Refining & Chemicals segment.
Additionally, TOTAL is a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, launched in 2019, which brings together 42 companies in the plastics and consumer goods value chain. The Alliances objective is to finance, to the extent of $1.5 billion over five years, the development of solutions for the reduction and treatment (reuse, recycling and recovery) of used plastics in the environment, particularly in the oceans.

Developing polymers from recycled plastics
TOTAL has set itself the target of producing 30% of its polymers from recycled materials by 2030. The Group is working to achieve this goal by using all types of recycling to produce high-performance recycled polymers:
|
in the field of mechanical recycling, in 2019 the Group acquired Synova, Frances leading producer of high-performance recycled polypropylene for the automotive industry. At the same time, TOTAL announced its decision to double Synovas production capacity to about 40,000 tons of recycled polypropylene per year by 2021; |
|
TOTAL has joined forces with the plastic recycling technology provider Recycling Technologies, Nestlé and Mars, both world leaders in the food processing sector, to develop an innovative chemical recycling process on an industrial scale in France. This unique consortium of world leaders in the packaging value chain |
is studying the technical and economic feasibility of recycling complex food-grade plastic waste, such as small and soft packaging, or multi-layer packaging. Today, these products are considered to be non-recyclable and are incinerated or disposed of on landfill sites; |
|
TOTAL produces circular compounds that contain at least 50% of recycled materials and possess the same properties as virgin polymers. More than 15 grades of polyethylene, polypropylene and polystyrene compounds containing up to 50% of recycled materials are already marketed. |
The Group is also working on the diversification of its supply sources, notably biosourced. TOTAL is one of the world leaders in bioplastics. In Thailand, Total Corbion PLA, 50% owned by TOTAL, operates a plant with a capacity of 75,000 tons per year of PLA, a recycled and 100% biodegradable bioplastic. The operational launch was in 2019.
5.6 |
Climate change-related challenges |
TOTALs ambition is to become the responsible energy major. The Group is committed to contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly with regards to those subjects that are connected to climate change and the development of more affordable, more available and cleaner energy for as many people as possible.
The Group has therefore identified the following main challenges in the realm of climate change:
|
reduce the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) of its operated oil & gas activities including methane emissions; |
|
implement a strategy allowing to reduce the carbon intensity of the energy products used by its customers; |
|
identify and support technologies and initiatives that help respond to the challenges of climate change. |
5.6.1 |
Governance |
In order to make an effective contribution to the climate change issue, TOTAL relies on an organization and structured governance. The Group has defined four strategic focuses that integrate the climate change-related challenges.
In support of the Groups governance bodies, the Strategy and Climate division shapes the Groups approach to climate change while working with the strategic and operational divisions of the Groups business segments. By monitoring indicators, progress can be measured and the Groups actions can be adjusted.
Oversight by the Board of Directors
TOTALs Board of Directors ensures that climate-related issues are incorporated into the Groups strategy and examines climate change risks and opportunities during the annual strategic outlook review of the Groups business segments. The Board of Directors examines the Groups GHG emissions reduction targets and reviews its performance on an annual basis.
To carry out its work, the Board of Directors relies on its Strategy & CSR Committee, whose rules of procedure were changed in September 2017 then in July 2018 in order to broaden its missions in the realm of CSR and in questions relating to the inclusion of climate-related issues in the Groups strategy.
Aware of the importance of climate change challenges, in 2019, the Board of Directors decided to change the criteria for the determination of the variable portion of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officers compensation for the year 2019. Among others, by applying a quantifiable criterion related to the evolution of GHG emissions (Scopes 1 & 2) on operated oil & gas facilities (refer to section 4.3.2 of chapter 4). This criterion completes those introduced in 2016 to take better account of the achievements of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and the Groups HSE targets. CSR performance is assessed by considering the extent to which climate issues are included in the Groups strategy, the Groups reputation in the domain of Corporate Social Responsibility as well as the policy concerning all aspects of diversity.

Role of management
TOTALs Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, in compliance with the long-term strategic direction set by the Board of Directors, implements the strategy of the Group while making sure climate change challenges are taken into account. In particular, he relies on the President, Group Strategy-Innovation, who is a member of the Executive Committee, to whom the Senior Vice President Strategy & Climate, and the Senior Vice President Climate report. The Senior Vice President Climate chairs the Climate-Energy steering Committee, which mainly includes representatives of Strategy and HSE management from the various business segments. The mission of this Committee consists of structuring the Groups approach to the climate, and in particular to:
|
propose GHG emission reduction targets for the Groups operated oil & gas facilities; |
|
propose a strategy to reduce the carbon intensity of the energy |
productsused by the Groups customers;
|
monitor the existing or emerging CO2 markets; and |
|
drive new-technology initiatives, in particular with industrial partners, to reduce CO2 emissions (energy efficiency, CO2 capture and storage, for example). |
5.6.2 |
Strategy |
Identification of climate-related risks and opportunities
The risks and opportunities related to climate change are analyzed according to different timescales: short term (two years), medium term (until 2030) and long term (beyond 2030).
The identification and the impact of climate-related risks form an integral part of TOTALs global risk management processes. In particular, they cover the risks related to transition due, for example, to regulatory changes, such as the introduction of carbon taxes, and the physical risks due to the effects of climate change. The impact of these risks is analyzed for the Groups assets and for investment projects (refer to point 3.1.2 of chapter 3).
Climate change also provides TOTAL with opportunities. In the coming decades, demand for electricity will grow faster than the global demand for energy, and the contribution of renewables and gas to the production of electricity shall therefore play an essential role in the fight against climate change. Electricity alone will not be sufficient to meet all needs, particularly those connected to transport. Gas and sustainable biofuels will be attractive and credible alternatives to conventional fuels and the Group intends to develop them.
Helping customers improve their energy efficiency also offers opportunities and forms part of a trend that will be accelerated by digital technology. TOTAL intends to innovate in order to provide them with new product and service offers that will support their energy options and their usages. The promotion of hybrid solutions combining hydrocarbons and renewable energies is part of this approach. Similarly, services can be offered to optimize energy for industrial sites. The Group aims to develop this approach for industrial and mobility applications.
In addition, ecosystems, and forests in particular, store carbon naturally. Consequently, their conservation and the restoration of their role as carbon sinks are crucially important in the fight against global warming. Therefore, TOTAL wants to develop its activities related to natural carbon sinks.
Finally, certain sectors, particularly the cement industry and the steel sector, could struggle to reduce their GHG emissions. They will therefore require carbon capture, utilization and storage technology (CCUS). Consequently, the Group intends to step up the development of CCUS.
Impact of climate-related risks and opportunities
Climate change is at the heart of the Companys strategic vision. TOTAL positions itself on high-growth low-carbon markets and intends to offer customers an energy mix with a carbon intensity that shall gradually decrease. To accompany these changes, TOTAL has introduced a carbon intensity indicator for the energy products used by its customers. This indicator is described in point 5.6.4 of this chapter.
TOTALs approach is based on four strategic focuses.
1) Growing in gas value chains (natural gas, biogas and hydrogen)
To respond responsibly to the strong rise in demand for electricity, TOTAL is continuing its development in the gas sector, whose CO2 emissions are half those of coal when used to generate electricity(1). Gas is also a supplement that is essential to cope with the intermittent supply of renewables and seasonal fluctuations in demand. The growth of natural gas will see a constantly increasing proportion of greener gas, in the existing infrastructure network such as biogas and hydrogen, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The Group has continued its efforts to grow along the entire gas chain, from production to the end customer. Upstream, TOTAL has finalized various acquisitions, including that of the Engie and Anadarko LNG assets in Mozambique, and has launched some major LNG projects, such as Ichthys in Australia and Cameron in the United States. In addition, the Group has proceeded with or benefited from the launch of major developments, like the Arctic LNG 2 project (refer to point 2.3 of chapter 2). TOTAL is the worlds second-ranking(2) operator on this market, with a volume sold of more than 34 Mt in 2019.
In distribution, TOTAL has committed itself to gas fuel for transport by acquiring a 25% stake in 2018 in Clean Energy Fuels Corp.(3), one of the leading distributors of gas fuel for HGVs in the United States, or by signing a contract with CMA-CGM, the first shipping company to equip its transcontinental container ships with LNG-powered engines. In 2018, the Group also entered a partnership with the Adani group, Indias largest private conglomerate in energy and gas infrastructures, in order to contribute to the development of the natural gas market. This partnership, which was extended in 2019, illustrates the Groups will to support countries that produce the greatest part of their electricity from coal to diversify their energy mix.

Strengthening the position of gas in the energy mix must, however, be accompanied by a greater focus on control of methane emissions. To preserve the advantage that gas offers in terms of GHG emissions compared to coal for electricity generation, it is necessary to strictly reduce the methane emissions associated with the production and transportation of gas. In 2019, methane emissions from facilities operated by the Group for its Upstream hydrocarbons activities were around 0.20% of the commercial gas produced(1). The Groups target is to reduce this intensity below 0.20%.
The Group has been a member since 2014 of the Oil & Gas Methane Partnership between governments and industrial companies for the improvement of tools to measure and control methane emissions set up by the Climate and Clean Air Coalition and promoted by UN Environment and the non-profit organization Environmental Defense Fund. The Group also took several actions as part of the Oil & Gas Climate Initiative and signed the guiding principles on the reduction of methane emissions on the gas value chain(2).
2) Developing a profitable low-carbon electricity business
TOTAL is developing on the non-regulated portion of the low-carbon electricity value chain (i.e., excluding the power transportation), from power generation from renewables or natural gas to storage (batteries, hydrogen) and sale to end customers. As demand for electricity is expected to grow strongly in the coming decades, TOTAL plans to invest $1.5 to $2.0 billion per year. In 2018, the Group made strategic acquisitions, including Direct Énergie and its subsidiary Quadran, respectively renamed Total Direct Énergie and Total Quadran, thereby stepping up its presence in renewable energies (wind, solar, hydropower and biogas).
In 2018, TOTAL acquired four combined-cycle natural gas power plants in France with a global capacity of 1.6 GW. Refer to point 2.3 of chapter 2 for further information on these acquisitions.
TOTAL aims at holding an installed gross production capacity of renewable electricity in excess of 25 GW by 2025, of which 10 GW in Europe. In 2019, this gross installed capacity was about 3 GW.
In distribution, following the acquisition in 2018 of the French specialist in smart recharging solution, G2Mobility renamed Total EV Charge, the Group has diversified its activities dedicated to electric mobility. TOTAL aims to operate 150,000 charging points on private or public parking lots in Europe by 2025. TOTAL has also launched a range of fluids for electric and hybrid vehicles.
As an electricity supplier, the Group aims to supply electricity to nearly eight million customers by 2025.
3) Avoid expensive oil, reducing emissions at our facilities and promoting sustainable biofuels
The Group foresees a long-term stagnation, or even a decline, in the demand for oil and is, therefore, concentrating on low break-even assets.
Additionally, TOTAL is taking steps to reduce CO2 emissions from its operated facilities and a dedicated task force bringing together different skills in the Group was set up in 2019. The Group has set itself a target of cutting GHG emissions from its operated oil & gas facilities from 46 Mt of CO2 to less than 40Mt of CO2 between 2015 and 2025.
Improving the energy efficiency of the facilities is an essential part of this effort. The Group aims to improve its energy efficiency by an average of 1% per year over the 2010-2020 period, at a time when exploration is becoming increasingly complex. This indicator is described in point 5.6.4 of this chapter. TOTAL also uses appropriate architectures and equipment and introduces technological innovations. For example, on offshore production barges, offshore platforms and onshore facilities, heat recovery systems on gas turbine exhausts have been implemented, thereby avoiding the need for furnaces or boiler systems.
Finally, the incorporation of biofuels can help reduce CO2 emissions from road and air transport. According to European standards, they reduce CO2 equivalent emissions by at least 50% through their complete life cycle, in comparison with the equivalent fossil fuels. As a pioneer in biofuels for more than 20 years, TOTAL is now one of Europes major actors, with 2.5 Mt blended sustainable biofuels(3) in 2019. On a worldwide scale, the Group contributed to the incorporation of 3.6 Mt of sustainable biofuels. In addition, TOTAL produced 0.24 Mt of sustainable biofuels in its refineries in 2019. With the start of production at the La Mède biorefinery in 2019, with a capacity of 0.5 Mt per year of hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), the Group cornered a market share of over 10% in Europe in HVO production. The oils processed at La Mède are certified sustainable(4) according to the criteria of the European Union. TOTAL has also set up a specific organization to complete this certification by selecting a limited number of responsible partners, plus an obligation to join the RSPO (Round table on Sustainable Palm Oil(5)), the signing by these suppliers of the Groups Fundamental Principles of Purchasing (refer to point 5.10 of this chapter) and specific, more stringent controls of sustainability and the respect of human rights.
For more than 10 years, TOTALs R&D teams have developed technologies that have broadened the range of usable resources, while also meeting the need for sustainability. The consortium BioTFuel is working on, for example, the development of lignocellulose (plant waste).
4) Developing businesses that contribute to carbon neutrality
The preservation and restoration of natural carbon sinks (forests, wetlands, etc.) and carbon capture (CCUS) will be key to achieving carbon neutrality in the second part of the 21st century.
TOTAL has launched a new activity based, on preserving and restoring the capacity of ecosystems to act as carbon sinks. This activity is owned by a business unit created in 2019 that is dedicated to investments in natural carbon sinks, composed of experts in the environment and agronomy, with an investment budget $100 million per year from 2020 onwards, and the goal of creating 5 MtCO2 of sustainable storage capacity per year by 2030. In addition, actions of preservation and restoration of the forest are currently conducted by the Fondation dentreprise Total as part of the Total Foundation program (refer to point 5.9 of this chapter).

Finally, CCUS will be essential for several industries, especially those that emit massive amounts of CO2 due to the nature of their business (cement, steel, etc.). TOTAL allocates significant resources to this area by dedicating up to 10% of the Groups R&D budget to it. Several projects represented significant progress, including Northern Lights (Norway), a project in which the Group participates alongside Equinor and Shell. TOTAL is also a partner of the Net Zero Teesside project (UK), together with the OGCIs investment fund and a few companies of the sector(1).
TOTAL also stepped up its R&D program in 2019 by entering partnerships with the National Carbon Capture Center in the United States and IFPEN in France. The Group has also launched a development study for a major pilot industrial scale project in Dunkirk, a project to produce methanol from CO2 and hydrogen in Germany, with the start-up Sunfire, and a feasibility study of an industrial system to capture and reuse the CO2 produced by the LafargeHolcim cement works in the United States(2).
TOTAL also offers customers an energy efficiency consultancy service so that they can optimize their own energy consumption and reduce their GHG emissions. The acquisition of GreenFlex forms part of this initiative. By providing consultancy (strategic and operational), data intelligence (digital platforms) and financing services, GreenFlex helps companies and regions improve their energy and environmental performance. The Companys areas of expertise are varied and include, for example, the improvement and management of the energy performance of buildings, equipment, utilities and processes, sustainable mobility, flexible electricity consumption, renewables and positive-energy buildings. More than 700 companies have already been supported by GreenFlex since 2009.
Sector initiatives and international framework
TOTAL is committed to various sector initiatives on the main challenges raised by climate change. Indeed, tackling climate change requires cooperation between all actors, from both public and private sectors.
Thus, TOTAL joined, in 2014, the call of the UN Global Compact, which encourages companies to consider a CO2 price internally and publicly support the importance of such a price via regulation mechanisms suited to the local context. In particular, TOTAL advocates the emergence of a balanced, progressive international agreement that prevents the distortion of competition between industries or regions of the world. Drawing attention to future constraints on GHG emissions is crucial to changing the energy mix. TOTAL therefore encourages the setting of a worldwide price for each ton of carbon emitted, while ensuring fair treatment of sectors exposed to carbon leakage (as defined by the EU). In addition, TOTAL is working with the World Bank as part of the Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition (CPLC). In June 2017, TOTAL became a founding member of the Climate Leadership Council, an initiative that calls for the introduction of a carbon dividend, with a redistribution mechanism that pays a dividend to the entire population.
In 2014, TOTAL was actively involved in launching and developing the Oil & Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI), a global industry partnership. At year-end 2019, this initiative involved 13 major international energy players. Its purpose is to develop solutions for a sustainable low emissions future. Launched in 2017, the OGCI Climate Investments fund, which has access to over $1 billion over 10 years, invests in technology that significantly cuts emissions. Examples of investments include a large-scale industrial CO2 capture and storage project (Net Zero Teesside Project), methane emission monitoring services by satellite (GHGSat), by aircraft (Kairos Aerospace) or by drone (SeekOps Inc.) and a technology that incorporates CO2 as a raw material in the production of polyols used in polyurethanes, which are plastics that have multiple uses (Econic Technologies).
The Group also plays a role in various international initiatives that involve the private and the public sectors to bring about (non-exhaustive list):
|
carbon pricing within Caring for Climate United Nations Global Compact, and the Paying for Carbon call; |
|
the end of routine flaring of gas associated to oil production within the World Banks Zero Routine Flaring by 2030 initiative; |
|
greater transparency, while taking into account the recommendations of the G20 Financial Stability Board on climate, and of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD); and the development of new state-of-the-art energy companies, since 2017 within the Breakthrough Energy Coalition (BEC), a group of investors created by Bill Gates in 2015, and since 2016 within the Breakthrough Energy Ventures, a $1 billion fund created in 2016 by the BEC. |
The list of trade associations of which TOTAL is a member and the lobbying Ethics Charter that governs these memberships are published on the website total.com. The Group cooperates with these associations mainly on technical or scientific matters, but certain associations sometimes take public stances on climate change. In 2019, TOTAL assessed the 30 main trade associations to which it belongs in order to check that they are in line with the Groups stance on the climate. This alignment was reviewed according to six key points: their scientific position, the Paris Agreement, carbon pricing, the role of natural gas, the development of renewable energies and the development of CCUS. Following this review, TOTAL decided not to renew its membership of the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers association. TOTAL remains a member of the three associations (the American Chemistry Council, the American Petroleum Institute and the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers) identified as being partially aligned, to advocate internally for changes in their positions. Total would reconsider its memberships in the event of lasting divergences.
TOTAL also actively participates in the debate on climate issues, thanks especially to its long-term partnerships with university chairs, such as the Climate Economics Chair at Paris-Dauphine University, the climate change research program of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)(3), and Toulouse School of Economics. TOTAL also offers training and makes presentations at several universities, thereby taking part in the debate.

Resilience of the organizations strategy
In order to ensure the viability of its project and long-term strategy in light of the challenges raised by climate change, the Group integrated, into the financial evaluation of its investments presented to the Executive Committee, a CO2 price of $30 to $40 per ton (depending on the price of crude oil), or the actual price of CO2 in a given country if higher. Since January 1, 2020, the Group has been taking into account in the economic evaluations of investments submitted to the Executive Committee a CO2 price of $40/t with a sensitivity of $100/t as from 2030, independent of the Brent price scenarios.
Regulations designed to gradually limit fossil fuel use may, depending on the GHG emission limits and time horizons set, negatively and significantly affect the development of projects, as well as the economic value of certain of the Groups assets.
The Group performs sensitivity tests to assess the ability of its asset portfolio to withstand an increase in the price per ton of CO2. In 2019,
these tests show that a long-term CO2 price of $40/t(1) applied worldwide would have a negative impact of around 2 5% on the discounted present value of the Groups assets (upstream and downstream). [REDACTED SECTION: CERTAIN TEXT HAS BEEN REDACTED.]
The limited level of 2019 impairments reflects the resilience of the portfolio on a long-term price trajectory in line with the IEA Sustainable Development Scenario (SDS).
As part of the annual preparation of its long-term plan, TOTAL makes long-term energy demand forecasts (oil, gas and electricity). The Group presented in February 2019 these forecasts (Total Energy Outlook), available on total.com.
5.6.3 |
Risk management |
Processes to identify and assess risks related to climate change
Climate-related risks form part of the risks that are analyzed by the Group Risk Management Committee. To this end, it uses the risk-mapping work.
In addition, the Risk Committee (CORISK) assesses investment projects, risks and corresponding climate-related issues (flaring, GHG emissions, sensitivity to CO2 prices) before they are presented to the Executive Committee.
Processes to manage risks related to climate change
In its decision-making process, the risks and associated climate issues are assessed prior to the presentation of the projects to the Executive Committee. If the level of risk requires it, they are subject to mitigation measures. TOTAL, in accordance with its Safety Health Environment Quality Charter, is committed in particular to managing its energy consumption and develops processes to improve its energy performance and that of its customers.
The Group also assesses the vulnerability of its facilities to climate hazards so that the consequences do not affect the integrity of the facilities, or the safety of people. More generally, natural hazards (climate-related risks as well as seismic, tsunami, soil strength and other risks) are taken into account in the construction of industrial facilities, which are designed to withstand both normal and extreme conditions. The Group carries out an assessment of the possible repercussions of climate change on its projects. These analyses include a review by type of risk (e.g., sea level, storms, temperature, permafrost) and take into account the lifespan of the projects and their capacity to gradually adapt. These internal studies have not identified any facilities that cannot withstand the consequences of climate change known today.
Integration of climate-related risks into global risk management
The risks related to climate issues are fully integrated in TOTALs global risk management processes.
The Audit Committee takes part in the annual review of the results of the climatic and environmental reporting process. In addition, these results are audited by an independent third party.

Targets and metrics to measure climate-related risks |
and opportunities |
TOTAL has set targets and introduced a number of indicators to coordinate its performance.
The Groups climate targets: reduce the GHG emission (Scopes 1 & 2) on operated oil & gas facilities of 46 Mt CO2e in 2015 to less than 40 Mt CO2e in 2025. reduce the routine flaring(1) by 80% on operated facilities between 2010 and 2020 in order to eliminate it by 2030; improve by an average of 1% per year the energy efficiency of operated facilities between 2010 and 2020; reduce the intensity of the methane emissions of the facilities operated by the Group for its Upstream hydrocarbons activities remaining below 0.20% of the commercial gas produced; maintain the intensity of CO2e emissions of the facilities operated by the Group for its Upstream hydrocarbons activities lower than 20 kg CO2e/boe.
|
What has been accomplished: a GHG emission reduction (Scopes 1 & 2) on operated oil & gas facilities from 46 Mt CO2e to 41.5 Mt CO2e between 2015 and 2019. more than 80% reduction in routine flaring between 2010 and 2019; more than 10% improvement in energy efficiency between 2010 and 2019; an intensity of the methane emissions around 0.20% of the commercial gas produced in 2019; an intensity of the CO2e emissions below 20 kg CO2e/boe in 2019. |
The Group also intends to reduce the carbon intensity of energy products used by its customers by 15% between 2015, the date of the Paris Agreement, and 2030 and by 40% by 2040. This carbon intensity was already reduced from 75 g CO2/kBtu in 2015 to 70 g CO2/kBtu in 2019, a reduction of 6%. This reduction was achieved in particular
through a threefold increase in LNG sales (from 10 to 34 Mt) and an almost eightfold increase in electricity sales (from 6 to 46 TWh) ; over the same period, these efforts were accompanied by investments of more than $20 billion.

These data as well as the related risks are also reported to the CDP(1) once a year, and TOTALs response to the CDP Climate Change questionnaire is posted on the Groups website (sustainable-performance.total.com). For its 2019 reporting regarding 2018 activities, the Group received an A-.
Flaring
Reducing routine flaring has been a long-standing target of the Group, which designs its new projects without resorting to it. In addition, TOTAL is committed to putting an end to routine flaring of its operated facilities by 2030. An 80% reduction target was set for 2020 compared to 2010, in other words, an average of 1.5 Mm3/d. This target has been met since 2017.
Furthermore, as part of the Global Gas Flaring Reduction program, TOTAL has worked alongside the World Bank for over 10 years to help producing countries and industrial players control flaring of gas associated to oil production.
The decrease in flaring in 2019 is due to better compressor reliability and shorter start-up periods in Africa.
Energy efficiency
One of the Groups performance targets is to better control energy consumption. Since the beginning of 2013, a Group directive has defined the requirements to be met at operated sites using more than 50,000 tons of oil equivalent per year of primary energy (approximately 40 sites). At end 2019, all the concerned sites reported compliance or had taken steps to comply with this directive. The aim is to ensure that 100% sites using more than 50,000 tons of oil equivalent per year by the end of 2020 have an auditable energy management system, such as the ISO 50001 on energy management(2). A certain number of sites that use less than 50,000 tons of oil equivalent per year have also, voluntarily, taken measures to become ISO 50001 certified.
Energy efficiency is a key factor for the improvement of economic, environmental and industrial performance. Since 2013, the Group has used a Group Energy Efficiency Index (GEEI) to assess its performance in this area. It consists of a combination of energy intensity ratios (ratio of net primary energy consumption to the level of activity) per business.
The Groups target for the 2010-2020 period is to improve the energy efficiency of its operated facilities by an average of 1% per year. By design, the base value of the GEEI was defined as 100 in 2010 and the target is to reach 90.4 in 2020. This target has been met since 2017.
Through the Total Ecosolutions program, the Group is developing innovative products and services that perform above market standards on the environmental front. At year-end 2019, 95 products and services bore the Total Ecosolutions label. The CO2e emissions avoided throughout the life cycle by the use of Total Ecosolutions products and services, compared to the use of benchmark products on the market and for an equivalent level of service, are measured annually based on sales volumes. This represented 2.2 Mt CO2e in 2019.
GHG emissions
The Group has reduced by 50% the GHG emissions (Scopes 1 & 2) produced by its operated activities since 2005. This reduction was reached thanks to notably reducing flaring and improving energy efficiency.
In 2019, TOTAL set itself a target to reduce GHG emissions (Scopes 1 & 2) on its operated oil & gas facilities to less than 40 Mt CO2e in 2025.
Carbon intensity indicator of the products used by its customers
TOTAL wishes to fully address the issue regarding the emissions of energy products used by the Groups customers and therefore decided to report all of the emissions associated with these products in the form of a carbon intensity indicator.
This indicator measures the average GHG emissions of these products throughout their life cycle, from production to end use by the Groups customers. This indicator takes into account:
|
for the numerator: |
|
the emissions connected to the production and conversion of energy products used by the customers on the basis of the Groups average emission rates; |
|
the emissions connected to the use of energy products used by the customers. For each product, stoichiometric emission factors(3) are applied to these sales to obtain an emission volume. Non-fuel use products (bitumen, lubricants, plastics, etc.) are not taken into account; |
|
negative emissions stored thanks to CCUS and natural carbon sinks; |
|
for the denominator: the quantity of energy sold, knowing that electricity is placed on an equal footing with fossil fuels by taking into account the average capacity factor and average efficiency ratio. |
The Group intends to reduce its carbon intensity by 15% between 2015, the date of the Paris agreement, and 2030 and by 40% by 2040. This undertaking represents a responsible contribution by TOTAL to the Paris agreement targets and it also enables the Group to fulfill its mission to supply to as many people as possible a more affordable, more available and cleaner energy.

In June 2017, the TCFD(1) of the G20s Financial Stability Board published its final recommendations on information pertaining to climate to be released by companies. These recommendations include additional details for certain sectors, such as energy. TOTAL publicly announced its support for the TCFD and its recommendations and has implemented them since its 2017 annual report.
TOTAL continued discussions by taking part in the Oil & Gas Preparer Forum, which published, in July 2018, the best practices on the disclosure of climate-related information and on the implementation of TCFD recommendations by the four companies that are members of the Forum(2).
In 2019, TOTAL also took part in the first Task Force set up by the EFRAG (European Financial Reporting Advisory Group) Reporting Lab on Climate-related disclosures, which aim to identify the best practices in this area. This Task Force published the results of its work in February 2020.

Actions in support of human rights |
The main challenges associated with the Group activities and respect for human rights are identified using the methodology set out in the United Nations Guiding Principles Reporting Framework relating to the salient issues, that is to say the human rights at risk of the most severe negative impact through the Companys activities or business relationships.
This analysis, as well as the internal risk mapping activities, has led the Group to identify six risks subdivided across three key areas:
|
human rights in the workplace of TOTALs employees as well as of the employees of its suppliers and other business partners: |
|
forced labor and child labor; |
|
discrimination; |
|
just and favorable working conditions and safety. |
|
human rights and local communities: |
|
access to land; |
|
the right to health and an adequate standard of living. |
|
respect for human rights in security-related activities: |
|
the risk of misuse of force. |
In 2016, TOTAL published an initial Human Rights Briefing Paper, in line with the UN Guiding Principles Reporting Framework, making it the first company in the oil and gas industry to do so. An updated version of this document was published in 2018 (available at sustainable-performance.total.com).
TOTALs human rights approach is based on written commitments. It is supported by a dedicated organization, and embedded through an awareness-raising and training program, as well as evaluation and follow-up mechanisms aiming at measuring the effectiveness of the Groups actions.
Written commitments
TOTAL is committed to respecting internationally recognized human rights wherever the Group operates, in particular the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Fundamental Conventions of the International Labor Organization (ILO), the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the OECD guidelines for multinational enterprises and the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights (VPSHR).
A dedicated organization
At regular intervals, a human rights roadmap is presented to the Executive Committee to support the ongoing effort to implement the Code of Conduct. The 20192020 roadmap was presented to the Executive Committee in April 2019. The Human Rights Steering Committee (formerly the Human Rights Committee) is responsible for monitoring the implementation of this roadmap. The committee is chaired by the Groups Vice President, Civil Society Engagement and includes representatives of each business segment and of the main functional divisions that have a role related to human rights. It meets four times a year and coordinates the actions taken internally and externally by the various Group entities.
In accordance to the Groups Code of Conduct, the Groups Human Rights Department provides advice to employees, support operational divisions and supervises efforts made to promote respect for human rights in close collaboration with the Ethics division and in accordance with the Groups Code of Conduct.
The Human Rights Department and the Ethics division rely on a network of Ethics officers (104 worldwide at the end of 2019) in charge of promoting the values set out in the Code of Conduct among employees working in the Groups subsidiaries and ensuring that the Groups commitments are correctly implemented at the local level.
The Ethics Committee is a central and independent structure where representatives of all TOTALs business segments sit. Its key role is one of listener and support. Both employees and external stakeholders can refer matters to the Ethics Committee by email at ethics@total.com. The Committee ensures the confidentiality of the complaints, which can only be lifted with the agreement of the complainant.
Awareness raising and training
In order to disseminate the Groups commitments, TOTAL raises its employees awareness via internal communication channels such as intranet websites or through events such as the annual Business Ethics Day, which is celebrated within all the Groups subsidiaries around the world. In 2019, Business Ethics Day was held in December on International Human Rights Day. The theme of the event was Speak Up. The Human Rights Department focused its actions on the fight against discrimination of any kind at the workplace.
In addition to the Code of Conduct, the Group makes a Human Rights Guide available to its employees and other stakeholders. It aims to raise the Groups employees awareness on issues relating to human rights in their industry and provides guidance as to the appropriate behavior to adopt in their activities and relationships with stakeholders.
The Group organizes specific trainings tailored to the challenges faced in the field by employees who are particularly exposed to these issues:
|
in 2019, human rights training for the Groups societal experts (including Community Liaison Officers CLO), at the time of their annual seminar; |
|
annual training for members of the Human Rights Steering Committee (CPDH) by the Danish Institute for Human Rights; |
|
annual training in ethics and human rights for newly appointed senior executives (32 participants in 2019); |
|
since 2019, a dedicated module is integrated into the e-learning training for the Country Chairs. It is intended for the 112 Groups representatives around the world; |
|
at the time of each ethics and human rights assessment at the Groups entities, human rights awareness sessions are offered to the employees of the relevant subsidiaries (50 to 100 participants per session). For example, in Brazil, following the assessment carried out in June 2019 by GoodCorporation, more than 200 Group employees in that country received training on non-discrimination challenges at the workplace; |
|
in 2019, two training courses in the United Kingdom on the 2015 UK Modern Slavery Act for in-house lawyers of that countrys subsidiaries, in partnership with SHIFT. |

Actions in support of human rights |
In 2019, the year of the ILOs 100th anniversary and in response to the key issues related to the Groups activity, specific training courses on human rights at the workplace are developed. An e-learning course on the ILO Fundamental Conventions was launched by a member of the Executive Committee on Business Ethics Day. This training is mandatory for all the Groups management personnel.
Each year, the country security officers receive training in the principles on security and human rights (VPSHR) at their annual seminar. In addition to these courses, specific on-the-ground VPSHR training is offered to the Groups security providers.
Assessments
The practices of the Groups entities and the risks to which they may be exposed are regularly evaluated when it comes to human rights issues. The Group works with independent third parties and qualified experts to Conduct these assessments.
Since 2002, the British company GoodCorporation has assessed close to 140 entities with regard to the principles and values enshrined in the Groups Code of Conduct. In particular, working conditions in the Groups activities and at its service stations are assessed. In 2019, seven entities were assessed (Egypt, Brazil, South Korea, Russia, Nigeria, Cameroon). The assessed entities are identified following several criteria: the risk of human rights violation in the country, the entitys exposure, the date of the previous assessment and the number of alerts received the previous year. These assessments help identify entities best practices, share them within the Group and recommend areas for improvement. The Group uses these assessments as opportunities to ensure proper knowledge of the Code of Conduct, encourage its employees to voice their ethical concerns in a confidential manner and report behaviors potentially contrary to the Code of Conduct. These
assessments confirm that the Code of Conduct is well known by the Groups employees. TOTAL must nevertheless pursue its efforts to raise awareness among its commercial and industrial partners.
The suppliers qualification and assessment process gradually being implemented by Total Global Procurement (TGP), as described in point 5.10 of this chapter, is helping to promote awareness among suppliers. So far, close to 80,000 people at the relevant sites have been assessed by TGP over the past three years.
Stand-alone human rights impact assessments may also be conducted in addition to the environmental and societal impact assessments in high-risk areas or conflict zones with the support of independent experts including the Danish Institute for Human Rights, a Danish public non-profit organization. In 2019, the impact studies carried out by the Danish Institute concerning the exploration & production projects in Papua New Guinea and the pipeline projects in Uganda and Tanzania were made public.
In 2019, the Group conducted five human rights audits of its potential palm oil suppliers for La Mède biorefinery in France. These audits were carried out by independent third parties based on a framework which evaluates the implemented system and governance in regards to respecting human rights, working conditions and communities rights.
Other non-profit partner organizations, such as the CDA Corporate Engagement Project, also contribute to the evaluation of the societal impact of the Groups activities or projects on nearby local communities, notably by interviewing local communities. CDAs reports are available on their website.
The human rights and ethics assessments are followed up within 18 months to ensure that action plans are implemented.
5.7.1 |
Human rights in the workplace |
The prohibition of forced and child labor, non-discrimination, just and favorable conditions of work, as well as safety, all form part of the principles set out in TOTALs Code of Conduct and are developed in the Human Rights Guide and in the Information Document on Human Rights (2016 and 2018 editions).
TOTALs commitment to human rights in the workplace is demonstrated, in particular, by the signature of various agreements, as the one concluded for four years in 2015 with IndustriALL Global Union(1), which covers notably the promotion of human rights in the workplace, diversity and parenthood, working conditions, health, the participation of employees and their representatives in social dialogue and the recognition of health and safety at work as absolute priorities in the Groups activities and global supply chain.
In its activities
TOTAL cares about the working conditions of its employees which are governed by the Groups Human Resources policy (refer to point 5.3 of this chapter).
Safety is one of the Groups core values. Over the last few years, the Group has continued to develop occupational health and safety standards focusing on the right to live and fair and adequate working conditions (refer to point 5.4 of this chapter).
TOTAL is strongly committed to promoting diversity and endeavors to combat all forms of discrimination (origin, gender, sexual orientation, handicap, age, membership in a political and a union or a religious organization, etc.) (refer to point 5.3 of this chapter). The Group signed the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) Charter in 2014. Prepared by LAutre Cercle association, it establishes a framework for combating discrimination related to sexual orientation or identity in the workplace in France.
For many years, TOTAL has developed a non-discrimination policy with regard to people with disabilities that focuses on issues related to integration into working life. This policy has resulted in dedicated hiring policies and practices and the promotion of diversity and the advantages it offers for the Group. These issues are coordinated for the entire Group through a Disability Program within the Groups Human resources department (refer to point 5.3.3.1 of this chapter).
In 2017, TOTAL also published a Practical guide to dealing with religious questions within the Group in order to provide practical solutions to the questions raised by the Groups employees and managers worldwide. It draws on the experiences of the business segments in various countries and encourages dialogue, respect and listening as a way to find solutions suited to the local context. Many internal and external experts helped draft this document, including representatives of various religious communities. This guide exists in 10 languages. It is available on the human rights intranet and is also distributed at each training course and on each Business Ethics Day.
In addition to the Groups reporting and internal control system, the working conditions of TOTALs employees are assessed by GoodCorporation, an independent third party.

In the Groups value chain
The Fundamental Principles of Purchasing (FPP) set out the commitments expected from suppliers in various domains, including human rights in the workplace and safety. A Group directive reaffirms the obligation to annex the FPP or to transpose them in the selection process as well as in the contracts concluded with suppliers of goods or services.
The prevention of forced and child labor in the supply chain is a major area of concern. The supplier selection methodology was therefore strengthened in 2018 to better take into account the risks of human rights violations, in particular forced and child labor. In addition, the partnership formed in 2016 between TOTAL and a third-party service provider to assess suppliers practices in terms of fundamental rights in the workplace remains in effect (refer to point 5.10 of this chapter).
Finally, the working conditions of the employees of Group-branded service station dealers are assessed by GoodCorporation, an independent third party. Between 2016 and 2017, a baseline study on a group of 22 subsidiaries in the Marketing & Services segment across different continents was also conducted. One of the main recommendations identified is to improve service station dealers awareness of the Groups Code of Conduct principles and of the fundamental Conventions of the ILO. In response, Marketing & Services is developing educational tools and enhancing the clauses related to human rights in contracts with service station dealers. In Africa, for example, clauses regarding respect for human rights are gradually being incorporated into standard agreements related to the activity of the service station network. These clauses are integrated by the African subsidiaries when contracts are renewed and negotiated.
5.7.2 |
Human rights and local communities |
TOTALs operational activities may have impacts on the human rights of local communities, in particular when TOTAL obtains temporary or permanent access to their land for the Groups projects that may involve the physical and/or economic displacement of these populations. In addition, noise and dust emissions and other potential impacts may also have consequences on 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 TOTAL.
In accordance with internationally recognized human rights standards, TOTAL requires the Group entities to maintain a regular dialogue with their stakeholders and make sure that their activities either have no negative consequences on local communities or, if these cannot be avoided, that they limit, mitigate and remedy them. The solutions proposed in response to the expectations of local communities are coordinated by the societal teams that work in close collaboration with the Human rights department and the legal, safety and environmental teams. The Groups approach to this topic is described in point 5.9 of this chapter.
5.7.3 |
Respect for human rights in security-related activities |
In certain situations, intervention by government security forces or private security providers may be necessary to protect TOTAL staff and assets. In order to prevent any misuse of force, TOTAL is committed to implementing the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights (VPSHR) issued by States, NGOs and Extractive Companies.
TOTAL has been a member of this initiative since 2012. Within this framework, the Group publishes an annual report setting out the challenges, lessons learned and good practices in relation to security and human rights and, if applicable, reports any incidents associated with the Groups activities. This report is available at sustainable-performance.total.com.
A new Group rule became effective in 2019 to define the Groups requirements for implementing the VPSHR. Self-assessment and risk analysis tools have been developed and are deployed, in particular, in the entities located in sensitive countries and conflict zones.
When government security forces are deployed to ensure the protection of the Groups staff and assets, an ongoing dialogue is maintained with the representatives of national or regional authorities in order to raise their awareness on the need to respect the VPSHR and encourage them to sign memorandums of understanding that comply with these principles.
The Group promotes these principles and the VPSHR requirements to the private security companies it hires in connection with its activities. These companies incorporate them, for example, through the training provided to security staff on the VPSHR.
TOTAL regularly organizes training sessions and awareness-raising activities for its employees on the risk of misuse of force and, more generally, on the VPSHR. In 2019, the Groups Security Division offered a VPSHR seminar to 27 security employees worldwide. In addition to this seminar, there were training courses at the subsidiaries for private security companies (PSC) and awareness-raising activities for governmental security forces (GSF). These activities, organized by each subsidiary, took place for example in Republic of Congo (563 PSC and 189 GSF), Uganda (51 PSC), Papua New Guinea (13 PSC and 27 GSF), Gabon (110 PSC) and Angola (458 PSC). In addition, in December 2019, 16 security staff members in the Republic of Congo, a country where an incident occurred in 2018, were trained by the Groups Security Division on the VPSHR, human rights and the rules and conditions applicable to the use of force.

The Groups climate targets:
The Balhaf facility is operated by Yemen LNG, in which TOTAL has a 39.6% interest alongside U.S.-based Hunt Oil (17.2%); South Koreas SK Innovation, Hyundai and Kogas (a combined 21.4%); and Yemens state-owned YGC and state organization GASSP (a combined 21.7%). TOTAL therefore does not have a controlling interest in Yemen LNG and does not intervene directly at the Yemen LNG-operated Balhaf site. It acts indirectly, as a shareholder or via personnel assigned to the joint-venture.
TOTALs expatriate employees left Yemen in 2015.
TOTALs actions since 2015 as a Yemen LNG shareholder have been solely intended to (i) ensure the safety of local employees, and (ii) preserve the Balhaf site so that it can resume LNG production once peace has been restored in Yemen.
In April 2017, Yemen LNG informed TOTAL that the U.N.-recognized government of Yemen had requisitioned some of the Balhaf facilities, which were de facto unused, for the coalition forces supporting the government.
Yemen LNG complied with the order by the Yemeni government. Two distinct areas were established. They are fenced off and have their own separate entrances. Responsibility for managing the requisitioned areas has been transferred in full to the coalition forces. TOTAL does not have any specific information on how the coalition is using the requisitioned areas.
Since 2015, neither Yemen LNG nor TOTAL have received any profit, compensation or advantage of any kind related to this situation. In fact, since 2015, TOTAL and the other foreign shareholders have continued to finance Yemen LNG at a loss, to preserve the site and continue supplying power and water to local communities. The Balhaf plant has therefore remained in good condition.

5.8.1 |
Fighting corruption |
late TOTAL is a major player in the energy sector where public authorities regularly play a role and where the amounts invested may be very high. In addition, the Group is present in more than 130 countries, some of which have a high perceived level of corruption according to the index drawn up by Transparency International. Aware that it is highly exposed to the risk of corruption, TOTAL applies a principle of zero tolerance. |
To prevent risks of corruption, TOTAL has implemented a robust, regularly updated anti-corruption compliance program that has been rolled out throughout the Group. The aim of this program is to promote a culture of compliance and transparency, which is key in ensuring the sustainability of the Groups operations and activities, as well as to comply with legal requirements, such as those resulting from the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Bribery Act and the French law on transparency, the fight against corruption and the modernization of the economy. Failure to comply with such legislation is likely to expose the Group to a high criminal, financial and reputation risk, as well as the enforcement of measures such as the review and reinforcement of the compliance program under the supervision of an independent third party.
The commitment of the entire Group and the efforts undertaken are unrelenting in order to ensure the sustainability and continuous improvement of the anti-corruption compliance program, which the U.S. authorities deemed to be appropriate in 2016, thus putting an end to the monitorship that was introduced in 2013.
This program is drawn up by a dedicated organization acting at the Group and business segment levels, namely the Compliance and Legal Risk Management Department, headed by the Chief Compliance Officer, and the Branch Compliance Officers. They coordinate a network of nearly 370 Compliance Officers in charge of
rolling out and running the program at the subsidiary level. This structured organization lies in close proximity to operational activities while having its own dedicated reporting line.
TOTALs anti-corruption compliance program is based primarily on the following seven pillars: management commitment or tone at the top, risk assessment, adoption of internal standards, awareness raising and training of the employees, feedback of information, including the whistleblowing system, mechanisms for assessing and monitoring the implementation of the program, and imposition of disciplinary sanctions in the event of misconduct.
5.8.1.1 |
Management commitment |
The constant high level of commitment by the General Management is reflected by the principle of zero tolerance for corruption that is clearly set out in the Groups Code of Conduct. Managers have a duty to lead by example and are responsible for promoting a culture of integrity and dialogue. This commitment is also expressed in regular statements made by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer as well as through large-scale communication actions, such as the annual Business Ethics Day organized on the occasion of the UNs International Anti-Corruption Day and Human Rights Day. The fifth edition held in December 2019 was dedicated to the speak up culture: various activities were organized, including in the subsidiaries, to encourage employees to report any potential violations of the Code of Conduct.
The commitment of the management bodies is also expressed externally by TOTAL joining anti-corruption initiatives and supporting collaborative and multipartite approaches. TOTAL joined the Partnering Against Corruption Initiative (PACI)(1) in 2016, thereby adhering to the PACI Principles for Countering Corruption. TOTALs Chairman and Chief Executive Officer became a member of the PACI Board in 2018 and subsequently Co-Chairman of the initiative

Launched in 2004 within the World Economic Forum, PACI now numbers approximately 90 major corporations and forms a platform for discussion that brings together business leaders and governmental and non-governmental organizations, allowing them to share their experiences and ideas and develop best practices. |

late 2019. TOTAL is also a member of other initiatives that contribute to the global effort to fight against corruption, such as the UN Global Compact since 2002 or the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI)(1) ever since it was launched in 2002.
5.8.1.2 |
Risk assessment |
To regularly adapt the compliance program to the risks to which TOTAL is exposed, these must first be identified and assessed. In addition to the Groups risk mapping, which includes the risk of corruption, a specific corruption risk mapping was produced in 2016 and will be reviewed to reflect the methodology formalized in a rule adopted in early 2020. At the business segments level, the main types of risk are assessed (purchasing, sales, conflicts of interest, gifts and hospitality, human resources, representatives dealing with public officials, mergers and acquisitions, joint-ventures, donations and sponsoring, and influence peddling). A risk mapping is also produced per entity under the guidance of the Compliance Officer. This two-tier analysis is aimed at establishing action plans that are appropriate to the identified risks and so at reflecting the realities on the ground. In addition, employees are provided with tools that help them identify the risk of corruption, e.g. the Typological guide of corruption risks.
Specific rules have been adopted and incorporated within the Group referential in order to mitigate the identified risks.
5.8.1.3 |
Internal standards |
As an essential element of the Group referential, the Code of Conduct sets out the behavior to be adopted, in particular with regard to the question of integrity. It prohibits corruption, including influence peddling, and advocates zero tolerance in this area.
The Code of Conduct is complemented by a regularly updated set of anti-corruption standards. The Anti-Corruption Compliance Directive, which was updated in 2016, recalls the main principles and organizes the roll-out of the anti-corruption program. It deals, among others, with commitment, training and awareness raising, accounting and bookkeeping, the assessment system and whistleblowing mechanisms. This directive is complemented by rules that deal with more specific subjects in order to prevent the various identified risks.
In January 2020, the Group adopted a single rule to standardize the anti-corruption due diligence processes, to be performed before entering into business relations with third parties (suppliers, representatives dealing with public officials, agents with a commercial activity, beneficiaries of donations, contributions or sponsorship, counterparties in corporate transactions, etc.). In addition, an IT supplier qualification tool, which incorporates the due diligence process, was developed to gradually be rolled-out within the Group.
Due diligence involves collecting information, identifying any risks of corruption and taking the appropriate mitigation measures. This process is performed by the relevant business persons with support from their Compliance Officer, who may call on the Branch Compliance Officer if necessary.
Early 2020, a rule was also adopted to deal with the recording and accounting of expenses covered by the anti-corruption compliance rules.
Other standards deal with high-risk areas, such as gifts and hospitality, which have to be registered and approved by the line manager above given thresholds; conflicts of interest, which must be reported to the line manager and addressed; anti-corruption measures implemented within joint-ventures; and human resources-related processes such as recruitment.
5.8.1.4 |
Awareness raising and training |
Awareness raising actions are carried out toward all employees. The Groups intranet contains a section on the fight against corruption which provides employees with various media, e.g. the internal standards or guides such as the booklet entitled Prevention and fight against corruption. Poster campaigns communicating the key messages in the risk areas are organized on a regular basis; the latest one was launched in mid-2018. An initial anti-corruption e-learning course was rolled out in 2011 in 12 languages, followed by a more in-depth e-learning module in 2015. This module is accessible to all employees and mandatory for the targeted personal (approximately 45,000 employees) and new hires.
More targeted training courses are also provided for the functions viewed as highly exposed (such as procurement and human resources), whether by the corporate or segments Compliance teams or by the Compliance Officers in the subsidiaries. Several online and face-to-face training sessions are organized every year for the Compliance Officers.
5.8.1.5 |
Feedback of information |
The feedback of information is ensured primarily through an annual reporting process. This is performed by the Compliance Officers, reviewed by their Branch Compliance Officer and sent to the Chief Compliance Officer. This reporting contributes to monitor the roll-out and implementation of the anti-corruption program, through figures on key elements of the program, for example the number of training courses or due diligences performed.
The consolidated data resulting from this reporting, which reflects the results of the implemented policies, is presented once a year to the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors via the Governance and Ethics Committee. This presentation provides an opportunity to report the results of the undertaken actions at the very highest level and to review the roadmap aligned with the identified areas of improvement.
In addition, TOTAL takes actions in order to develop a speak-up culture and asks its employees to report any situations that they consider to be contrary to the Code of Conduct. This culture is encouraged by regular communications about the various speak-up channels; employees, depending on the option they feel is most appropriate, can contact any manager, human resources, the Compliance Officers or Ethics Officers, or the Group Ethics Committee. Both employees and third parties can refer to this Committee by writing to ethics@total.com. The Group will tolerate no retaliation measure toward anyone submitting a report in good faith and undertakes to respect confidentiality.
5.8.1.6 |
Assessment and monitoring |
The anti-corruption program is monitored at the first level by the line managers and the Compliance Officers who are in charge of ensuring the day-to-day implementation of the rules. At the second level, controls are performed by the Compliance function, in particular through assessment missions (referred to as compliance reviews) that are undertaken by a dedicated team within the Groups Compliance and Legal Risk Management Department. In addition, the Groups Audit and Internal Control Division performs an annual off-site inspection to verify the quality of the reporting performed by the Compliance Officers, as well as missions relating to the Sarbanes-Oxley regulations. At the third level, Group Audit also helps monitor the anti-corruption program through audits performed according to a framework that includes compliance topics.

Sanctions |
In line with the principle of zero tolerance and in application of the Code of Conduct and the Anti-Corruption Directive, any infringement of the anti-corruption standards must give rise to disciplinary sanctions, up to dismissal. The Groups resolve in this matter is recalled in communication
media intended for employees as well as on the intranet. This resolve, which results from the management commitment, contributes, with the other pillars described above, to the robustness of the anti-corruption compliance program.
5.8.2 |
Fighting tax evasion |
With a presence in more than 130 countries through 1,134 consolidated affiliates, TOTAL carries out its operations in a constantly changing environment and is subject to an increasingly complex set of tax regulations, which may be in conflict when combined or subject to varying interpretations, thus giving rise to potential tax risk.
In this context, TOTAL 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 at sustainable-performance.total.com.
Tax policy:
Tax payments of TOTAL represent a substantial part of our Groups economic contribution to the countries in which we operate.
TOTAL is mindful of its responsibility and is committed to paying its fair share of taxes to the host countries of its operations, in compliance with applicable laws and conventions and in accordance with our Code of Conduct.
Our intercompany transactions are thus based on arms length terms and our tax strategy is aligned with our business strategy. The formation of affiliates worldwide is driven by business operations, as well as regulatory constraints and JV requirements. It is the Groups long-term commitment not to create affiliates in countries generally acknowledged as tax havens and to repatriate or liquidate existing affiliates, where feasible.
Our tax policys prime focus is certainty and sustainability in the long term. We believe that the expected short-term tax benefit derived from artificial or aggressive tax planning will often be outweighed by the reputational and future tax litigation risks inherent in such schemes.
The Group takes a responsible approach to the management and control of taxation issues, relying on well-documented and controlled processes to manage risk and ensure compliance with tax disclosure and filing obligations.
The management of tax risks is fully integrated in the Groups global risk management process. As part of this process, the Group VP Tax regularly reports to the Audit Committee and the Group Risk Committee on TOTALs global tax position, risk monitoring and associated improvement actions.
We engage with a broad range of stakeholders, and especially with tax authorities, in a timely, transparent and professional manner which is the basis of a constructive and long-term relationship.
As a permanent member of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) since its creation in 2002, TOTAL fully supports initiatives for greater transparency and accountability. We encourage governments to ensure that the tax reporting obligations they will impose upon multinational groups are consistent, coordinated and proportionate.
TOTAL publishes in its Registration Document an annual report covering the payments made by the Groups extractive affiliates to governments(1) and the full list of its consolidated entities, along with their countries of incorporation and of operations.
Since 2017, the Group also files a country-by-country reporting to the French tax authorities.
In 2019, in accordance with its tax policy, TOTAL entered into the Tax Partnership with the French authorities, upon inception of the program, thus pursuing greater transparency, dialogue and trust. In May 2019, TOTAL also 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. This is a new step in the Groups efforts to promote a global responsible tax environment and encourage best practices.
As part of the 2019 fiscal year, the consolidated current income taxes amounted to $5,469 million, representing an average tax rate of 34.1%.

Value creation for host regions |
In line with its ambition to become the responsible energy major and based on the values and principles formally set forth in its Code of Conduct and its Safety Health Environment Quality Charter, TOTAL wants to be a positive change agent for society and bring its contribution through its societal actions.
At a national level, the Groups activities generate value for the countries where it operates, and TOTAL intends to contribute to the development of economic opportunities for its host regions and the communities. At a local level, the Groups activities can be a source of opportunities for the people, but may also have an impact on the living conditions of local communities and residents. Finally, in order to address societys global concerns, the Group is committed to public interest.
Within this context, the Group has identified its main challenges in regards to creating and sharing value:
|
fostering the economic development of the regions; |
|
managing societal challenges related to the Groups activities; |
|
engaging in citizenship initiatives. |
In an effort to offer practical responses to its societal challenges that are adapted to the multitude of realities it encounters in the field, several divisions at the head office support the Groups subsidiaries in their societal initiatives.
5.9.1 |
Fostering the economic development of the regions |
Recruiting local people and supporting the creation of businesses
In addition to contributing directly to job creation in the countries where the Group operates (refer to point 5.3 of this chapter), the Group is committed to recruiting local people and subcontractors, if its operational imperatives so permit.
Each of the Groups major industrial projects with high local content is part of an industrial strategy that aims to maximize the impact on the host country measured in terms of new jobs. This strategy is based on the analysis of all the local industrial and human capacities and the associated risks, resulting in a plan of specific actions. These action plans help to structure technical resources, in particular through training courses, which strengthen human skills, and supporting economic development by supporting SMEs and recruiting local people. For example, for the Kaombo project in Angola, in cooperation with Angolas national oil company, Sonangol, TOTAL required more than 21 million hours to be worked locally, which was above the initial objective of 13.5 million hours, to produce and assemble complex equipment. The equivalent of 2,600 jobs have been created (on average over 2.5 years) with a peak of over 4,000 jobs (excluding indirect jobs and new jobs created).
In addition, through the entrepreneurial contest, the Startupper of the Year Challenge, TOTAL confirms its desire to support the socio-economic development of the countries worldwide where the Group is present. It contributes locally to the strengthening of the social fabric by helping the most innovative entrepreneurs to turn their projects into reality. Following the success of the first contest in 2015-2016 in 34 African countries, the 2018-2019 challenge was extended to 55 countries worldwide. With 13,100 projects submitted, it rewarded 165 young local entrepreneurs who launched a project or created a company within the last two years, irrespective of the segment of activity, and 55 female entrepreneurs were awarded a Female favorite.
During the second contest, six grand winners were invited to a week-long training session at the top Parisian incubators and to participate in Vivatech (Paris) and One Young World (London) two international events relating to entrepreneurship. The third contest has been announced and is expected to take place in 2021-2022.
Leveraging the reindustrialization of the Groups platforms
In France, the Group supports SMEs through its Total Développement Régional (TDR) subsidiary. TDR proposes various measures that contribute to creating and keeping jobs in the long term, such as financial support for the creation, development or takeover of SMEs in the form of loans, support for setting up industrial projects with actors in local development, or support for exports and international development. Between 2017 and 2019, loans were granted to more than 530 SME projects, amounting to a total of more than 30 million, and more than 11,000 jobs were supported.
Additionally, TOTAL implements a specific approach to support the conversion of its industrial sites through two additional projects carried out at the same time:
|
a project for the future is carried out by the sector concerned, taking into account an analysis on market developments. The objective is to adapt the industrial tool in order to make the Groups industrial sites competitive over the long term; and |
|
a Voluntary Agreement for Economic and Social Development (CVDES) is implemented to support the site and its ecosystem (subcontractors, stakeholders, etc.) during this period of change. |

On Carlings industrial platform (France), following the shutdown of the second steam cracker in 2015, TOTAL led a project for the future without any job losses and in keeping with its contractual commitments to its customers and partner companies. TOTAL invested 190 million to develop new activities in the growing hydrocarbon resins (Cray Valley) and polymers markets. TDR managed a fund to support subcontractor companies. TDR also helped to set up industrial projects which benefit from a shared services offer and new governance implemented on the platform.
The CVDES relating to Carlings site was ended in 2018 with a final commitment of 12 million in grants. TDR also committed to support these industrial projects until the effective start-up of the production units. In this way, TOTAL confirms its responsibility towards the employment areas in which the Group operates as well as its commitment to maintain a strong and lasting industrial presence in the Lorraine region.
The conversion of the La Mède refinery (France), through an initial investment greater than 275 million, is underway with the start-up of
the first French biorefinery and an Adblue(1) production workshop in July 2019. The site also has an 8 MW solar farm, which was commissioned in 2018, and a training center, OLEUM, which started up in 2017. This project has been carried out without any lay offs.
The CVDES signed for La Mède for 2016-2019 has been extended for 2020. TDR is supporting the subcontractors and putting the Groups commitments into action. In 2018 and 2019, TDR also supported financially seven industrial projects and one industrial demonstrator to create 262 new jobs.
On the Lacq platform in France, a TDR unit, hosted by Sobegi, the platforms controller, researches and examines third-party industrial projects that could join the platform. A working group comprising the Pau-Béarn chamber of commerce and industry, the Chemparc public interest group, the Lacq-Orthez district authority, Sobegi and TDR, is actively looking for investors in Europe and Asia, with the help of two expert consulting firms.
5.9.2 |
Managing societal/society challenges related to the Groups activities |
5.9.2.1 |
Operational societal approach |
The Group includes societal challenges when conducting its operations through its One MAESTRO reference framework (refer to point 5.4 of this chapter) and focuses in particular on managing relationships with stakeholders and local impacts. Guides, manuals, video tutorials and a community of practices, available on the Group intranet site and updated in 2019, help the subsidiaries to implement their operational societal approach, which is adapted to the specific local requirements of the regions and communities. The Groups framework defines a structured process, the main stages of which are:
|
the analysis of the challenges and local societal context; |
|
the development of a societal strategy integrated with operations; and |
|
implementing and monitoring societal actions and projects. |
Analysis of the challenges and the societal context
Prior to investment, acquisition and divestment decisions, the projects presented to the Groups Risk Committee are assessed according to their societal potential risks. When a new industrial site is developed, an initial pre-project survey must be conducted in advance to identify any potentially affected stakeholders and to describe and assess the main socio-economic and cultural challenges in the impacted area. It is complemented by societal impact assessments that measure and analyze the impacts actual and potential, positive and negative, direct and indirect, in the short, medium and long term of the project. In 2019, eight assessments were conducted, seven by Exploration & Production and one by Integrated Gas Renewables and Power (Benin).
With respect to the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) project in Uganda and Tanzania, and the project in Papua New Guinea, the impact assessments is carried out in accordance with national and international standards, in particular those of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) which are among the most stringent in terms of environmental and societal standards. In November 2019, the supervisory authority in Tanzania (the Ministry of the Environment) approved the final report of the ESIA for the EACOP project which started in January 2017.
In addition, the Groups One MAESTRO framework provides an assessment of the local societal context of the subsidiaries (sensitivity of the socio-economic and cultural context, including human rights). This assessment must be updated at least every five years. It depends largely on dialogue with stakeholders: authorities, neighboring communities, local business players or civil society. One of the tools developed by TOTAL is the internal Stakeholder Relationship Management (SRM+) methodology which was introduced in 2006 in most of the Groups subsidiaries and gradually in those recently created or acquired.
Development of a societal strategy integrated with operations
Every subsidiary pays close attention to local issues by defining short-term and long-term societal targets and its priority fields of action that take account of:
|
the need to remain within the regulatory and contractual framework, as well as meeting the applicable international standards; |
|
the analysis of the challenges and the societal context in terms of risks, impacts and opportunities; |
|
the Groups voluntary commitments on citizenship initiatives. |
These targets are built into a structured operational action plan, based on three pillars:
|
dialogue and involvement of local stakeholders; |
|
avoiding and reducing the societal impacts of the Groups activities; |
|
taking initiatives to create a positive impact on neighboring local communities. |
Implementing and monitoring societal actions and projects
The societal teams reporting to HSE division and their local correspondents lend their expertise to the operational subsidiaries to implement the One MAESTRO framework. Societal aspects are included within the scope of the One MAESTRO audits that produce recommendations to reinforce the control of operations. Moreover, the subsidiaries must conduct an annual self-assessment of their societal initiative and an annual internal report to list the societal actions taken locally.

In addition to the global training covering all the HSE topics, specific training is given to managers and operational personnel in charge of societal matters, such as The basics of societal engineering (two sessions in 2019, with 30 participants), or advanced and specific training modules in the operations of Exploration & Production (two sessions in 2019, in Nigeria, with 20 trainees).
5.9.2.2 |
Local stakeholders engagement |
TOTAL sets up dialogue procedures based on the consultation and involvement of stakeholders in order to develop constructive and transparent relations with them.
The One MAESTRO framework provides that subsidiaries shall establish a structured and regular dialogue process with their stakeholders to inform and listen to them and take into account their concerns and expectations, to report on mitigation actions or compensation, to measure their satisfaction and to identify means of improving their societal policy. In the Refining & Chemicals segment, there are structures for dialogue with local stakeholders, such as the Community Advisory Panels in the United States or the special local commissions on some European platforms. The Marketing & Services segment has developed tools to engage stakeholders and which are adapted to the diversity of its businesses (oil terminals, filling sites, lubricant plants, road transport or service stations) which may easily be extended over large regions such as, for example, in South Africa or in China in 2019.
TOTAL acknowledges the specificities of indigenous and tribal peoples (as referred to in International Labor Organization Convention No. 169) and has developed a Charter of Principles and Guidelines to be followed with these communities which may be affected by its activities. This charter encourages the use of experts in order to identify and understand these peoples expectations and specificities, consult them and contribute to their socio-economic development. This initiative is also consistent with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
The approach to dialogue at Exploration & Production is managed in certain subsidiaries by local community liaison officers who speak the language and understand the customs. They play a decisive role in establishing a good relationship and paying special attention to listening to the most vulnerable populations (ethnic minorities, natives, women). In 2019, they conducted more than 2,800 meetings on the EACOP project, involving 50,000 people in 226 villages and 533 hamlets. Different communication tools and media are used to disseminate information on the subsidiaries operational activities: public meetings, letters of information or posters in villages.
5.9.2.3 |
Managing the societal impacts of the Groups activities |
Avoid, reduce and compensate
Following the analysis of the challenges and the societal context, various actions have been taken by subsidiaries to minimize the impacts. For examples in 2019:
Impacts for local communities on access to land and maritime space
In Papua New Guinea, an environmental and societal impact assessment for the Upstream part of the Papua LNG project was submitted, in accordance with regulations, the IFC standards and the Groups framework, to the Conservation and Environment Protection Authority (CEPA) after a review by a panel of external experts. Particular attention was given to issues relating to access to land and maritime space.
Impacts on cultural and religious practices and heritage
Archaeological heritage is taken into account before any type of work in Papua New Guinea. Archaeological and cultural heritage assessments were carried out before the geotechnical and geophysical studies and preparatory works in 2019. These studies are always submitted for approval to the National Museum and Art Gallery. As part of the EACOP project in Tanzania, a team of archaeologists from the University of Dar es Salam assisted the teams throughout the geophysical and geotechnical acquisitions, giving rise to adjustments in the acquisition zones and unexpected discoveries of pottery shards and flint, which was promising for increasing knowledge in these areas.
Handling grievances from neighboring communities
In accordance with the One MAESTRO framework, the Groups operational entities are implementing procedures to handle grievances in order to provide residents and local communities with a preferential channel to voice their problems and grievances. Handling these grievances locally makes it possible to offer a response to anyone who feels that they have suffered damage and to improve internal processes in order to reduce nuisances or impacts that may be caused by the operations. Within the One MAESTRO perimeter (refer to point 5.11.4 of this chapter), 100% of Refining & Chemicals sites have an operational grievance mechanism. Deployment is gradual in the Groups other segments.
In 2019, the Exploration & Production segment carried out continuous improvement initiatives, for example, in Bolivia, to reduce the grievance settlement period to less than 30 days for simple cases. In the Refining & Chemicals segment, residents joined forces in the search for solutions to control the impacts of activities. At Marketing & Services, a kit has been developed to help the operational subsidiaries to set up a dedicated management that is separate from the business claims.
5.9.2.4 |
Taking socio-economic initiatives in favor of local communities |
First and foremost, the local projects address the issues of development and solidarity identified thanks to consultations with local communities and favor cooperation and skills development.
Providing access to basic needs (access to energy, water, health, etc.)
The Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power branch is developing an access-to-energy offer based on clean and affordable solutions. Thanks to the involvement of 38 of the Groups subsidiaries, with 37,000 individuals receiving training in solutions and sales, 14.6 million people were able to benefit from the program at the end of November 2019. In France, TOTAL is pursuing its actions against fuel poverty, by helping low-income households to renovate thermally their homes alongside the French government and other energy suppliers in the Habiter Mieux (Living Better) program (31.5 million in 2019), as well as the initiatives for social housing (4.6 million in 2019).
In 2019, Exploration & Production made several contributions to human development. Literacy courses were given to local inhabitants of Djeno in the Republic of Congo to enable them to obtain a basic level in French and facilitate access to jobs, particularly in the neighboring oil terminal operated by TOTAL. Since the launch, 436 people (around 60% of women) have already benefited from these courses. In Papua New Guinea, a national identification program was set up in partnership with the authorities (PNG Civil & Identity Registry). The first campaign has made it possible for 7,500 people to be registered and who will be issued identity cards.

Contributing to the development of local communities
At Exploration & Production in Nigeria, the OML 58 project supports the development of micro-sized agricultural enterprises: in 2019, 625 fish farmers and 300 poultry farmers received a donation of animals and food to increase their production and, as a result, pass the
poverty line themselves. In Bolivia, TOTAL supports, in partnership with Adapicruz, the honey producers association, and the NGO SNV development, training initiatives among 30 producers, the supply of equipment and promotion of this economic activity among young people.
5.9.3 |
Engaging in citizenship initiatives: the Total Foundation program |
In addition to the solutions proposed by TOTAL in response to the direct expectations of the people and related to its operations, the Group wants to contribute to the local actions in the countries where it operates by addressing global societal challenges.
5.9.3.1 |
The Total Foundation program |
In the face of growing inequality and environmental challenges, the Groups wish has been to strengthen its public interest initiatives and efforts in the development of the regions in which it is present by favoring in particular actions that benefit young people first. In 2017, it has therefore decided to structure its actions within the framework of the Total Foundation program, which covers the citizenship initiatives undertaken every day worldwide by the Groups subsidiaries and by its corporate foundation.
The Total Foundation program focuses on four areas of action: youth education and inclusion, road safety, forests and climate, cultural dialogue and heritage.
Through the Total Foundation program, the Group and its corporate foundation are partnering with all the stakeholders of a region (associations, government authorities, businesses, experts, etc.) to propose solutions adapted to the local needs. They want to broaden the scope for action beyond financial support and develop new sustainable models by experimenting through social innovation projects. Their involvement also includes advising and supporting partners in their development and skills sponsorship. Since 2018, the Action! program, for example, allows TOTAL employees to spend up to three days a year of their working time on solidarity projects. At the end of 2019, Action! had been implemented in 25 countries.
The Total Foundation program contributes in this way to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in reducing inequalities (SDG 10), youth inclusion (SDG 4) and collective action (SDG 17).
5.9.3.2 |
Four areas of action |
The Total Foundation program is structured around four societal challenges, in line with the Groups history, values and businesses.
Youth education and inclusion
The professional inclusion of young people is a real challenge on all continents. The first area of the Total Foundation program aims to empower young people, particularly socially at-risk young people, by means of support and guidance, training, particularly in industry, and insertion in the workplace.
In this context, and by way of example, in 2019, the first stone of LINDUSTREET, a campus for the industry of tomorrow, was laid in Stains in the Paris region. This new industry professions training center will provide free training and offer innovative teaching to young people who have not found their place in the traditional education system. Over time, it will welcome 400 young people between 18 and 25 years old.
The Fondation dentreprise Total continues to support the Ecoles de Production that enable young people to learn a trade using the learning by doing teaching method. As a result, five new schools were opened in 2019 with the Fondation dentreprise Total support. TOTAL also supports four Eiffel high schools in Angola which provide free, quality teaching to young people in socially vulnerable situations.
Road safety
Road accidents are the leading cause of death among young people worldwide. The Total Foundation program aims to take action for safer mobility by educating youth, training and raising drivers awareness and supporting road safety policies.
In this context, for example, in 2019, the Fondation dentreprise Total continued the deployment of the VIA youth awareness program through interactive and innovative methods, in Cameroon, France, India, Romania and Myanmar.
It has partnered with the NGO YOURS to organize the World Youth Assembly for Road Safety in February 2020 in Stockholm in order to contribute to target 3.6 of the SDGs: halving the number of road accident victims. The Fondation dentreprise Total also signed a partnership agreement with the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) to make its financial contribution to the Global Road Safety Facility, the objective of which is to develop the skills of authorities on the collection and analysis of road data as part of the creation of the African Road Safety Observatory.
Forests and climate
Global warming is a major challenge for humanity, biodiversity and the socio-economic balance. The Total Foundation program aims to take action to protect sensitive ecosystems through the natural storage of carbon, improve biodiversity and the quality of life of local communities, and raise awareness of young people in environmental conservation.
In this context, for example, the partnerships set up in 2018 by the Fondation dentreprise Total continued in 2019 in France, with the National Forests Office or with the School and Nature Network. In 2019, new partnerships were established for the preservation and conservation of sensitive ecosystems:
|
with the AGROPOLIS Foundation to identify sustainable agricultural practices in France, Senegal, Kenya and Zimbabwe, in order to improve soil fertility and identify sustainable agricultural practices (food security challenges) but also to promote carbon storage in soils (climate change issues); |
|
with the Tessékéré International Man-Environment Observatory (OHMI) to support the Great Green Wall program (fight against desertification in the sub-Sahelian region) through research and planting in Senegal and Burkina Faso. |

Cultural dialogue and heritage
Cultural diversity is a driver of peace and prosperity. The Total Foundation program aims to promote heritage and the cultural openness of young people through actions to conserve heritage, to support contemporary creation by young people and to encourage access to artistic and cultural education.
In this context, and by way of example, in 2019, TOTAL pledged, within the framework of the historic partnership between the Fondation dentreprise Total and the Fondation du Patrimoine, 100 million to the reconstruction of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. The Fondation dentreprise Total supports initiatives to combat social reproduction mechanisms, such as the Paris Philharmonic Orchestras Démos program. It also supports events promoting contemporary creation locally such as Gigantisme in Dunkirk, the Contemporary Art Biennale in Lyon or Traversées in Poitiers.
5.10 |
Contractors and suppliers |
TOTALs activities generate hundreds of thousands of direct and indirect jobs worldwide. Present in more than 130 countries, the Group currently works with a network of more than 100,000 suppliers of goods and services. In 2019, the Groups purchases of goods and services (excluding petroleum products and vessel chartering by Trading & Shipping) represented approximately $26 billion worldwide. The allocation of expenditures on the Group level is approximately 31% for goods (products, materials, etc.) and approximately 69% for services (in particular consulting services, work with supply of materials, transport, etc.).
Through their activities, the Groups subcontractors and suppliers may face the same risks that the Group encounters in its own activities notably in terms of societal and environmental risks. The most prominent risks relate mainly to human rights in the workplace (forced labor, child labor, discrimination, fair and equitable working conditions and safety), health, security and safety, corruption, conflicts of interest, fraud and the environment.
TOTALs success as a responsible company is played out all along its value chain, and the Group is convinced of the importance of working with suppliers that respect human rights and take care of their employees. The Group expects its suppliers to adhere to principles equivalent to those in its own Code of Conduct, as set out in the Fundamental Principles of Purchasing. To this end, the Group wanted the management of its supplier relations to be coordinated by the dedicated cross-functional Total Global Procurement entity, which is tasked, in particular, with delivering Purchasing services and assisting the Groups entities and sites, mainly in Exploration & Production, Refining & Petrochemicals, Marketing & Services and Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power. This approach is complemented by employee training programs and actions to raise awareness amongst the Groups, customers and suppliers. Its success is also based on TOTALs involvement in international initiatives or collaborative approaches specific to the energy sector that promote the emergence of good practices.
5.10.1 |
The Groups responsible procurement policy |
The Group ensures that contractual conditions are negotiated in an equitable manner with its suppliers. The Code of Conduct restates this requirement and the three essential principles that guide TOTALs relations with its suppliers: dialogue, professionalism and the fulfillment of commitments.
These principles are also set forth in the Fundamental Principles of Purchasing, launched in 2010, that specify the commitments that TOTAL expects its employees and suppliers to adhere to in the following areas: respect for human rights at work, the protection of health, security and safety, preservation of the environment, prevention of corruption and of conflicts of interest and the fight against fraud, respect for competition law, as well as the promotion of economic and social development. These principles uphold the fundamental principles defined in particular in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the fundamental conventions of the International Labor Organization, the United Nations Global Compact and the OECD Guidelines for multinational enterprises.
In early 2020, as part of its continual improvement strategy, Total Global Procurement finalized an update to the CSR risk map associated with the Groups procurement for each category of goods and services. This map can be credited to the methodological work carried out with support from AFNOR during the second half of 2019. The process involved over 80 internal employees, CSR experts and buyers. A Responsible Procurement roadmap, which was updated in 2019, defines TOTALs guidelines for 2019-2023 in terms of respecting human rights throughout the supply chain, environment and economic development. Representatives of the Management Committee of Total Global Procurement and the Civil Society Engagement, HSE and Legal divisions as well as of the Ethics Committee are invited at least once a year to participate to the Responsible Procurement Committee which is tasked with monitoring the implementation of the Groups Responsible Procurement roadmap.

Employee awareness-raising actions and training
TOTAL has set up a number of channels of communication to raise employee awareness of the risks and issues related to its supply chain. Training modules explaining the Groups ethical commitments and the Fundamental Principles of Purchasing have been developed for and made available to Group procurement representatives. In 2019, more than 300 buyers were raised and/or trained on respect of human rights and working conditions by suppliers, and 134 on anti-corruption rules.
The Group provides its buyers with supporting materials, such as the Sustainable Purchasing Awareness Cards. These factsheets cover various topics relating to human rights at work (such as forced labor and child labor, etc.). A set of communication tools intended to help procurement representatives enter discussions on the Fundamental Principles of Purchasing was also distributed within Total Global Procurement. The materials used in the annual performance review have been revised to include a section on human rights.
In June 2019, the Total Global Procurement seminar was attended by 239 participants (buyers and procurement support functions) and addressed a focus on responsible procurement. When updating the CSR risk map relating to the Groups procurement, workshops were held to alert buyers to the issue of responsible procurement.
With respect to the development of good practices in business relations, TOTAL has consistently raised its employees awareness of mediation as an alternative method for resolving disputes since 2013. In 2019, an open day for employees of the Group, lawyers and operational staff, enabled participants to learn about the benefits of mediation. A brochure designed to increase awareness of the mediation process is available to all Group employees. In addition, an email address (mediation.fournisseurs@total.com) is available on the TOTAL website to allow the Groups suppliers to contact the dedicated internal mediator, who is tasked with facilitating relations between the Group and its French and international suppliers. The general purchasing terms and conditions also mention the possibility of recourse to mediation.
5.10.2 |
The Groups policy applied to the supply chain |
TOTAL expects its suppliers to:
|
adhere to the Fundamental Principles of Purchasing and ensure that they are adhered to in their activities; |
|
accept to be audited according to these principles; |
|
remain attentive to the everyday working conditions of their employees and their suppliers employees; |
|
ensure that their own suppliers and subcontractors adhere to these Fundamental Principles of Purchasing; |
|
refer to the Group Ethics Committee in case of doubt or in the event of any malfunction. |
The rules set out in these Principles must be included or transposed into the agreements concluded with suppliers. To this end, these Principles are available for consultation by all suppliers in both French and English on TOTALs website (under Suppliers).
For example, when renewing its office equipment in 2019, environmental transition experts from the Greenflex subsidiary assisted buyers with defining the Groups recyclability and energy performance requirements in the specifications.
The supplier qualification process
The supplier qualification process was harmonized at Group level in 2017 by Total Global Procurement. A new internal framework was published in 2018. A new computerized qualification tool was developed in 2019 and will gradually be rolled out in over 100 countries. In 2019, more than 4,000 suppliers managed by Total Global Procurement in France have been incorporated into the application.
It is designed to automate and document the supplier qualification process, which unfolds in four stages:
1. |
confirmation from the technical expert of the value in launching the qualification process; |
2. |
a risk pre-analysis to decide whether an in-depth analysis of each criterion is necessary (HSE, anti-corruption, societal responsibility, financial, technical); |
3. |
determination of the qualification status; |
4. |
monitoring and renewal of qualification. Qualifications are valid for three years. |
The supplier assessment process
Simultaneously, the Group has set up a supplier assessment process to identify and prevent risks of severe impacts on human rights and fundamental freedoms, human health and safety. Thus, since 2016, the Group conducts audit campaigns on working conditions of its suppliers. A targeted annual audit plan is defined every year and includes the suppliers put forward by the subsidiaries based in countries that have been identified as having a certain level of risk of human rights violations. The number of audits performed in 2019 was quadrupled compared to 2018. Since 2016, those audits have covered a population of close to 80,000 people worldwide.
Moreover, TOTAL, BP, Equinor and Shell are continuing their efforts to develop a common collaborative platform to assess the respect of human rights by their suppliers. TOTAL remains firmly convinced of the importance of working with suppliers that respect human rights, on the one hand, and take care of their employees, on the other hand. Together, the partner companies are pursuing the goal of encouraging the improvement of working conditions in the supply chain of the companies involved. This initiative addresses the United Nations SDG N° 8: to promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.
Supplier awareness-raising actions
The deployment of the anti-corruption policy in purchasing continued in 2019. In addition to numerous initiatives taken in previous years, approximately 120 suppliers underwent an anti-corruption analysis in the perimeter of Total Global Procurement through the issuing of specific questionnaires, completed, in some cases, by external inspections.
Awareness-raising actions are also carried out during meetings with suppliers, particularly the Suppliers Day event that brings the Groups strategic suppliers together every two years. During Suppliers Day in 2019, the Fundamental Principles of Purchasing and the Groups new Code of Conduct were distributed to all participants. Particular emphasis was given to responsible procurement and the Groups principle of zero tolerance towards corruption.

Every year, the International Procurement Office (TOTAL IPO in Shanghai, China) organizes a compliance day. During the event, one of the qualified suppliers is invited to share the actions that it has taken regarding anti-corruption compliance, the concrete problems encountered and how it deals with them. Special focus was given to the issue of respect for human rights, which was also addressed during the Suppliers Day event organized by the IPO in Shanghai in December 2019.
Finally, pursuant to Rule 13p-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which implemented certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010,
TOTAL has submitted since 2014 to the SEC an annual document relating to conflict minerals(1) sourced from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country. The document indicates whether, during the preceding calendar year, any such minerals were necessary to the functionality or production of a product manufactured (or contracted to be manufactured) by TOTAL S.A. or one of its affiliates. The main objective of the rules obligation to publish this information is to prevent the direct or indirect funding of armed groups in central Africa. For more information, refer to TOTALs most recent publication available at: sustainable-performance.total.com or www.sec.gov.
5.10.3 |
The Groups responsible procurement actions |
Since 2010, TOTAL is a signatory to the French Economy and Finances Ministrys Responsible Supplier Relations Charter, which aims to allow more sustainable and balanced relations between customers and suppliers.
Since 2018, TOTAL has been a member of the United Nations Global Compact platform on Decent Work in Global Supply Chains, and, in this capacity, takes part in various workshops that aim to help the member companies of the Global Compact make progress in this area. In December 2018, the Group committed to pursuing its efforts in terms of decent work and respecting human rights in its supply chain by signing the Six Commitments of the United Nations Global Compact. In October 2019, TOTAL welcomed participants at its offices for the platforms fourth and last round table meeting.
The Groups buyers also take part in international working groups on responsible procurement. TOTAL belongs to the IPIECAs Supply Chain Working Group. Building on the workshops held since 2015, TOTAL continued to participate in the Operationalization of the UN Guiding Principles work organized by the IPIECA, aimed at both oil and gas companies and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors.
TOTAL is also involved in driving local economic development both in France and abroad. In April 2019, TOTAL launched the Total SME Pool program to help 10 of the Groups small and mid-cap suppliers grow their business. For a year, these 10 companies will
have the free opportunity of networking with other large organizations, receiving support and guidance for their executives and obtaining assistance with ramping up their international development through the Total Développement Régional entity.
Finally, the Group pays special attention to the disabled and protected employment sectors. In France, the Groups purchases from this sector enabled the achievement of an indirect employment rate of nearly 1% in 2019. TOTAL is a member of the Pas@Pas association and provides its buyers with an online directory that can be used to identify potential suppliers and service providers (disabled or protected employment sectors) by geographical area and by category. Various meetings were organized in liaison with the Disability Program to familiarize the relevant buyers in Total Global Procurement with the Groups commitments and the new application available.
In 2019, TOTAL supported, for the first time, the Awards for Women in Disability-Inclusive Companies spearheaded by the Handiréseau association and took part in the jury paying tribute to the exemplary careers of disabled women working in the disabled and protected employment sectors. In October 2019, the Group signed UNEAs (National Union of Disability-Inclusive Companies) charter during the Inclusive Tour organized for a corporate audience. This commitment was made in the presence of Frances Minister for Employment and is aimed at accelerating the process of creating jobs and promoting disability-inclusive companies.

Reporting scopes and method |
5.11.1 |
Frameworks |
The Groups reporting is based:
|
for social indicators, on a practical handbook titled Corporate Social Reporting Protocol and Method; |
|
for safety indicators, on the Corporate Guidance on Event and Statistical Reporting; |
|
for environmental indicators, on a Group reporting procedure, together with segment-specific instructions. |
These documents are available to all companies of the Group and can be consulted at Corporate headquarters, in the relevant departments.
5.11.2 |
Scopes |
Social reporting is based on two surveys: the Global Workforce Analysis, and the complementary Worldwide Human Resources Survey. Two centralized tools (Sogreat and HR4U) facilitate performance of the above surveys.
The Global Workforce Analysis is conducted once a year, on December 31, in all the controlled, consolidated Group companies (refer to Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, point 8.7 of chapter 8) having employees, i.e., 321 companies in 102 countries on December 31, 2019. This survey mainly covers worldwide workforces, hiring under permanent and fixed-term contracts (non-French equivalents of contrats à durée déterminée or indéterminée) as well as employee turnover at the worldwide level. This survey produces a breakdown of the workforce by gender, professional category (managers and other employees and non-French equivalents), age and nationality.
The Worldwide Human Resources Survey (WHRS) is an annual survey that comprises 231 social indicators, including the health indicators described in chapter 5.4. The indicators are selected in cooperation with the relevant counterparties and cover major components of the Group Human Resources policy, such as mobility, career management, training, work conditions, social dialogue, Code of Conduct deployment, human rights, health, compensation, retirement benefits and insurance. The survey covers a representative sample of the consolidated scope. The data published in this document is extracted from the most recent survey, carried out in December 2019 and January 2020 at 127 companies in 52 countries, representing 88,7% of the consolidated Group workforce (95,604 employees) replied to the survey.
The Socle social commun scope covers the following companies in France: TOTAL S.A., Elf Exploration Production, Total Marketing Services, Total Marketing France, Total Additifs et Carburants Spéciaux, Total Lubrifiants, Total Fluides, Total Raffinage Chimie, Total Petrochemicals France, Total Raffinage France, Total Global Information Technology Services, Total Global Financial Services, Total Global Procurement, Total Global Human Resources Services, Total Learning Solutions, Total Facilities Management Services and Total Consulting.
Reporting on environmental and climate change-related indicators covers all activities, sites and industrial assets in which TOTAL S.A., or one of the companies it controls exclusively, is the operator, i.e., either operates or contractually manages the operations (operated domain). Compared to the scope of financial consolidation, this corresponds to fully consolidated companies, with some exceptions(1). The subsidiaries operated by the Group that are not fully consolidated because they are not material from a financial standpoint are consolidated in the reporting on environmental indicators.
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions based on the Groups equity interest are also published for the equity interest domain. This scope, which is different from the operated domain, includes all the assets in which the consolidated subsidiaries have a financial interest or rights to production. This scope includes the entire statutory scope of the consolidated non-financial performance statement and the emissions of some 30 equity affiliates.
The list of environmental and climate change-related indicators on which an entity must report is drawn up on the basis of the materiality thresholds for 2019 (refer to the section entitled Consolidation method). Safety reporting covers employees of subsidiaries controlled exclusively by the Group, employees of contractors working on sites, assets or for activities operated by these subsidiaries and employees of transport companies under long-term contracts. Compared to the scope of accounting consolidation, this corresponds to fully consolidated companies, with some exceptions(2). The subsidiaries operated by the Group that are not fully consolidated because they are not material from a financial standpoint are consolidated in the reporting on safety indicators.
In 2019, the Group safety reporting scope covered 467 million hours worked, equivalent to approximately 260,000 people.
Reporting on the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights (VPSHR) covers the Group entities and subsidiaries that are particularly exposed to the disproportionate use of force. It is based on an internal survey, whose results are consolidated by the Security division. In 2018, the VPSHR report covered approximately 100 entities.
Consolidation method
For the scopes defined above, the safety and social indicators are fully consolidated.
For the operated domain scope, the environmental indicators are fully consolidated. For the equity interest domain, greenhouse gas emissions are consolidated based on the Groups equity interest in the assets or on its share of production for oil and gas production assets. For non-operated assets, TOTAL relies on information provided by its partner operators. In cases where this information is not available, estimates are made based on past data, budget data or by pro rata with similar assets.
The list of environmental and climate change-related indicators on which an entity must report is drawn up on the basis of the materiality thresholds (refer to the section entitled Consolidation method). These thresholds were calibrated in order to report 99% of greenhouse gas emissions and 95% of the Groups other emissions observed or modeled based on data related on fiscal year 2018. In addition, no site accounting for more than 2% of an indicator excludes this indicator from their reporting.

As an exception, the scope of reporting on environmental and climate change-related indicators does not include Polyblend, which is controlled exclusively, Naphtachimie, BASF TOTAL Petrochemicals and Appryl, which are controlled jointly, and approximately 80 jointly-controlled assets operated by third parties in Exploration & Production. |
(2) |
As an exception, the scope of reporting on safety indicators does not include Polyblend, which is controlled exclusively, Naphtachimie, BASF TOTAL Petrochemicals and Appryl, which are controlled jointly, and approximately 80 jointly-controlled assets operated by third parties in Exploration & Production. The scope includes Hanwha TOTAL Petrochemicals Co. Limited and Bayport Polymers LLC, which are financially consolidated as equity affiliates. |

Changes in scope of consolidation
Social indicators are calculated on the basis of the consolidated scope of the Group as of December 31, 2019. These social data are presented on the basis of the operational business segments identified in the 2019 Consolidated Financial Statements.
Regarding safety indicators, acquisitions are taken into consideration as soon as possible and by no later than January 1 of the following year. Approximately 10 subsidiaries acquired in 2019 will be
included in the reporting published in 2021 on fiscal year 2020(1). All facilities sold are taken into consideration up to the date of the sale.
For environmental and climate change-related indicators, acquisitions are taken into account as of January 1 of the current year to the extent possible or as of the following year. Approximately 10 subsidiaries acquired in 2019 will be included in the reporting published in 2021 on fiscal year 2020(1). Any facility sold before December 31 is excluded from the Groups reporting scope for the current year.
5.11.3 |
Adopted principles |
Indicator selection and relevance
The data published in the Registration Document is intended to inform stakeholders about the Groups annual results in social and environmental responsibility. The environmental indicators include the Groups performance indicators with reference made, to a large extent, to the IPIECA reporting guidelines, updated in 2015.
Methodological specificities
The methodology may be adjusted, in particular due to the diversity of TOTALs activities, the integration of newly acquired entities, lack of regulations or standardized international definitions, practical procedures for collecting data, or changes in methods.
Restatement of previous years published data, unless there is a specific statement, is now limited to changes of methodology.
Consolidation and internal control
The social, environmental, climate change-related, health and industrial safety data are consolidated and checked by each operational unit and business segment, before being checked at Group level. Data pertaining to certain specific indicators is calculated directly by the business segments. These processes undergo regular internal audits.
[REDACTED SECTION: CERTAIN TEXT HAS BEEN REDACTED.]
5.11.4 |
Details of certain indicators |
Social definitions and indicators
Outside of France, management staff refers to any employee whose job level is the equivalent of 300 or more Hay points. Permanent contracts correspond to contrats à durée indéterminée (CDI) and fixed-term contracts to contrats à durée déterminée (CDD), according to the terminology used in the Groups social reporting.
Employees present: employees present are employees on the payroll of the consolidated scope, less employees who are not present, i.e., persons who are under suspended contract (sabbatical, business development leave, etc.), absent on long-term sick leave (more than six months), assigned to a company outside the Group, etc.
Safety definitions and indicators
TRIR (Total Recordable Injury Rate): number of recorded injuries per million hours worked.
LTIR (Lost Time Injury Rate): number of lost time injuries per million hours worked.
SIR (Severity Injury Rate): average number of days lost per lost time injury.
Employees of contractors: any employee of a contractor working at a site that is part of the safety reporting scope or assigned by a transport company under a long-term contract.
Tier 1 and Tier 2: indicator of the number of loss of primary containment events with more or less significant consequences, as defined by the API 754 (for downstream) and IOGP 456 (for upstream) standards.
Near miss: sudden event which, under slightly different circumstances, could have resulted in an accident. Near misses have a potential but no actual severity.
Incidents and near misses are assessed in terms of actual or potential severity based on a scale that consists of six levels. Events with an actual or potential severity level of four or more are considered serious.
Environmental or climate change-related definitions and indicators
Upstream hydrocarbons activities: the Group Upstream hydrocarbons activities include the oil and gas exploration and production activities of the Exploration & Production and the Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power segments. It does not include power generation facilities based on renewable sources or natural gas such as combined-cycle natural gas power plants.
Non-routine flaring: flaring other than routine flaring and safety flaring occurring primarily during occasional and intermittent events.
Routine flaring: flaring during normal production operations conducted in the absence of sufficient facilities or adequate geological conditions permitting the reinjection, on-site utilization or commercialization of produced gas (as defined by the working group of the Global Gas Flaring Reduction program within the framework of the World Banks Zero Routine Flaring initiative). Routine flaring does not include safety flaring.
Safety flaring: flaring to ensure the safe performance of operations conducted at the production site (emergency shutdown, safety-related operations etc.).

Waste: all waste is counted, with the exception of drilling debris, mining cuttings and polluted soil at inactive sites, which are counted separately.
Hydrocarbon spills with an environmental impact: spills with a volume greater than 1 barrel (≈159 liters) are counted. These are accidental spills of which at least part of the volume spilled reaches the natural environment (including non-waterproof ground). Spills resulting from sabotage or malicious acts are excluded. Spills that do not affect the environment are also excluded.
Fresh water: water with salinity below 1.5 g/l.
GEEI (Group Energy Efficiency Index): a combination of energy intensity ratios (ratio of net primary energy consumption to the level of activity) per business reduced to base 100 in 2010 and consolidated with a weighting by each businesss net primary energy consumption. The scope of the indicator relates to the operated domain of the Groups upstream oil and gas activities and the Refining & Chemicals segment, with the exception of Hutchinson. It does not include power generation facilities based on renewable sources or natural gas such as combined-cycle natural gas power plants.
GHG: the six greenhouse gases of the Kyoto protocol, which are CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs and SF6, with their respective GWP (Global Warming Potential) as described in the 2007 IPCC report. HFCs, PFCs and SF6 are almost absent from the Groups emissions or are considered as non-material, and are therefore no longer counted in 2018.
GHG based on the Groups equity interest: greenhouse gases emitted by the sites and activities that are part of the Groups equity interest domain (refer to point 5.11.2 Scopes). They are calculated on a pro rata basis according to the Groups share in the entity or in the production (in the case of Group upstream hydrocarbons activities).
Scope 1 GHG: direct emissions of greenhouse gases from sites or activities that are part of the scope of reporting on climate change-related indicators. Sites with GHG emissions and activities of less than 30 kt CO2e/y are excluded.
Scope 2 GHG emissions: indirect emissions attributable to brought-in energy (electricity, heat, steam), excluding purchased industrial gases (H2).
Scope 3 GHG emissions: other indirect emissions. The Group usually follows the oil & gas industry reporting guidelines published by IPIECA and which conform to the GHG Protocol methodologies. In this Registration Document, only item 11 of Scope 3 (use of sold products), which is the most significant, is reported. Emissions for this item are calculated based on sales of finished products for which the next stage is end use, in other words, combustion of the products to obtain energy. A stoichiometric emission factor is applied to these sales (oxidation of molecules to carbon dioxide) to obtain an emission volume.
Carbon intensity: this indicator measures the average GHG emissions of energy products used by the Groups customers, from production in TOTAL facilities to end use by customers. This indicator takes into account:
|
in the numerator: |
|
the emissions connected to the production and conversion of energy products used by the customers on the basis of the Groups average emission rates, |
|
the emissions connected to the use of sold products. For each product, stoichiometric emission factors(1) are applied to these sales to obtain an emission volume. Non-fuel use products (bitumen, lubricants, plastics, etc.) are not taken into account, |
|
negative emissions stored thanks to CCUS and natural carbon sinks; |
|
in the denominator: the quantity of energy sold, knowing that electricity is placed on an equal footing with fossil fuels by taking into account the average capacity factor and average efficiency ratio. |
Operated oil & gas facilities: facilities operated in the Group Upstream hydrocarbons activities as well as in the Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services segments of the Group. It does not include power generation facilities based on renewable sources or natural gas such as combined-cycle natural gas power plants.
Oil spill preparedness:
|
an oil spill scenario is deemed important as soon as its consequences are at a minimum on a small scale and with limited impacts on the environment (orders of magnitude of several hundred meters of shores impacted, and several tons of hydrocarbons); |
|
an oil spill preparedness plan is deemed operational if it describes the alert mechanisms, if it is based on pollution scenarios that stem from risk analyses and if it describes mitigation strategies that are adapted to each scenario, if it defines the technical and organizational means, internal and external, to be implemented and, lastly, if it mentions elements to be taken into account to implement a follow-up of the environmental impacts of the pollution; and |
|
oil spill preparedness exercise: only exercises conducted on the basis of one of the scenarios identified in the oil spill preparedness plan and which are played out until the stage of equipment deployment are included for this indicator. |
Other definitions
One MAESTRO (Management and Expectations Standards Toward Robust Operations): Groups operational Health, Safety, Environment and Societal reference framework. This reference framework applies to subsidiaries controlled exclusively by TOTAL with the following exceptions: subsidiaries acquired in 2019, Hutchinson (RC segment), Zeeland Refinery (RC segment), Polyblend (RC segment), Sobegi (RC segment), Saft and subsidiaries acquired by the iGRP segment less than 3 years ago (these subsidiaries are in the process of being rolled out), TEP Barnett (iGRP segment) and Sunpower (iGRP segment).

Arkema spin-off |
Within the framework of the spin-off of Arkemas chemical activities from the Groups other chemical activities, TOTAL S.A.s Annual Shareholders Meeting on May 12, 2006, approved TOTAL S.A.s contribution to Arkema, under the regulation governing spin-offs, of all its interests in the businesses within Arkemas scope, as well as the allocation for each Total share (prior to share division by four) of an allotment right for Arkema shares, with ten allotment rights entitling the holder to one Arkema share. Additionally, since May 18, 2006, Arkemas shares have been traded on Euronext Paris.
In accordance with the provisions of the notice prior to the sale of unclaimed shares (Avis préalable à la mise en vente de titres non réclamés) published on August 3, 2006, in the French newspaper Les Échos, Arkema shares corresponding to allotment rights for fractional shares which were unclaimed as of August 3, 2008, were sold on Euronext Paris at an average price of 32.5721 per share. BNP Paribas Securities Services paid an indemnity to the financial intermediaries on remittance of corresponding allotment rights for Arkema shares.
The unclaimed amounts are held by BNP Paribas Securities Services where the holders are still able to claim them for a period of 30 years after the payment of the indemnity. Past this time limit, the amounts will permanently become the property of the French State.

Shareholder return policy |
At its meeting of September 23, 2019, the Board of Directors reviewed the outlook for the Group through 2025. TOTAL is demonstrating its ability to maintain a sustainable pre-dividend breakeven below 30 $/b and a solid financial position with a gearing objective below 20%.
The Board of Directors noted that the Group delivering on its strategy for sustainable and profitable growth in oil and gas activities, as well as investing in growing energy markets, notably LNG and low-carbon electricity, provides stronger visibility on the future of the Group. This results notably in a projected increase in the Groups cash flow of more than $5 billion by 2025 in a 60 $/b environment, or an average increase of about $1 billion per year.
Consequently, the Board of Directors decided to accelerate dividend growth in the coming years, with a guidance of increasing the dividend by 5 to 6% per year so as to reflect the anticipated growth of cash flows in an environment at $60/b.
The Group will continue to buyback its shares with an anticipated amount of $2 billion for 2020 in an environment at 60 $/b. As of March 18, 2020, the Group bought back shares for an approximate amount of $550 million. The buybacks ceased after the sharp decline in the price of the barrel to a level far from the environment at 60 $/b.

Dividend payment policy |
On October 28, 2010, TOTAL S.A.s Board of Directors adopted a policy based on quarterly dividend payments starting in fiscal year 2011.
The decision of TOTAL S.A.s subsidiaries to declare dividends is made by their relevant Shareholders Meetings and is subject to the provisions of applicable local laws and regulations. As of December 31, 2019, there is no restriction under such provisions that would materially restrict the distribution to TOTAL S.A. of the dividends declared by those subsidiaries.
Dividends for the fiscal year 2019
On February 5, 2020, the Board of Directors, after approving the financial statements for the fiscal year 2019, decided to propose to the Shareholders Meeting on May 29, 2020 the payment of a 2.68 dividend per share for the fiscal year 2019. Subject to the Shareholders decision, considering the first three interim dividends already decided by the Board of Directors, the final dividend for the fiscal year 2019 will amount to 0.68 per share, up 3% compared to the first and second interim dividends and equal to the third interim dividend for the 2019 fiscal year.

Share buybacks |
Upon presentation of the report by the Board of Directors and information appearing in the description of the program prepared pursuant to Articles 241-1 et seq. of the General Regulation (règlement général) of the French Financial Markets Authority (Autorité des marchés financiers, AMF), and voting under the conditions of quorum and majority required for Ordinary General Meetings, the shareholders hereby authorize the Board of Directors, with the possibility to sub- delegate such authority under the terms provided for by French law, pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 225-209 of the French Commercial Code and of Regulation (EU) N° 596/2014 of April 16, 2014, on market abuse and of the General Regulation of the AMF, to buy or sell shares of the Company within the framework of a share buyback program.
The purchase, sale or transfer of such shares may be transacted by any means on regulated markets, multilateral trading facilities or over the counter, including the purchase or sale by block trades, in accordance with the regulations of the relevant market regulatory authorities. Such transactions may include the use of any financial derivative instrument traded on regulated markets, and implementing option strategies.
These transactions may be carried out at any time, in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations at the date of the operations under consideration, except during any public offering periods applying to the Companys share capital.
The maximum purchase price is set at 80 per share.
In the case of a share capital increase by incorporation of reserves and free share grants or in the case of a stock-split or a reverse-stock- split, this maximum price shall be adjusted by applying the ratio of the number of shares outstanding before the transaction to the number of shares outstanding after the transaction.
Pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 225-209 of the French Commercial Code, the maximum number of shares that may be bought back under this authorization may not exceed 10% of the total number of shares composing the capital as of the date on which this authorization is used. This limit of 10% is applicable to the share capital of the Company which may be adjusted from time to time as a result of transactions after the date of the present Meeting. Purchases made by the Company may under no circumstances result in the Company holding more than 10% of the share capital, either directly or indirectly through subsidiaries.
As of December 31, 2019, out of the 2,601,881,075 shares outstanding, the Company held 15,474,234 shares directly. Under these circumstances, the maximum number of shares that the Company could buy back is 244,713,873 shares and the maximum amount that the Company may spend to acquire such shares is 19,577,109,840 (excluding acquisition fees). |
The purpose of this share buyback program is to reduce the number of outstanding shares of the Company or to allow it to fulfill its engagements in connection with: convertible or exchangeable securities that may give holders rights to receive shares of the Company upon conversion or exchange; and/or share purchase option plans, employee shareholding plans, Company Savings Plans or other share allocation programs for executive directors or employees of the Company or Group companies.
The purpose of buybacks may also be the implementation of the market practice accepted by the French Financial Markets Authority (Autorité des marchés financiers), i.e., support the secondary market or the liquidity of Total shares by an investment services provider by means of a liquidity agreement compliant with the deontology charter recognized by the French Financial Markets Authority (Autorité des marchés financiers).
This program may also be used by the Company to trade in its own shares, either on or off the market, for any other purpose that is authorized under the applicable law or any other permitted market practice that may be authorized at the date of the operations under consideration. In case of transactions other than the above-mentioned intended purposes, the Company will inform its shareholders in a press release. According to the intended purposes, the treasury shares that are acquired by the Company through this program may, in particular, be: canceled, up to the maximum legal limit of 10% of the total number of shares composing the capital on the date of the operation, per each 24-month period; granted for no consideration to the employees and to the executive directors of the Company or of other companies of the Group; delivered to the beneficiaries of the Companys shares purchase options having exercised such options; sold to employees, either directly or through the intermediary of Company savings funds; delivered to the holders of securities that grant such rights to receive such shares, either through redemption, conversion, exchange, presentation of a warrant or in any other manner; and used in any other way consistent with the purposes stated in this resolution.
While they are bought back and held by the Company, such shares will be deprived of voting rights and dividend rights.
This authorization is granted for an 18-month period from the date of this Meeting. It renders ineffective, up to the unused portion, any previous authorization having the same purpose.
The Board of Directors is hereby granted full authority, with the right to sub-delegate such authority, to undertake all actions authorized by this resolution.

Conditions |
Maximum share capital to be purchased and maximum funds allocated to the transaction
The maximum number of shares that may be purchased under the authorization provided by the Shareholders Meeting on May 29, 2019, may not exceed 10% of the total number of shares composing the capital, with this limit applying to an amount of the Companys share capital that will be adjusted, if necessary, to include transactions affecting the share capital subsequent to this Meeting. Purchases made by the Company may under no circumstances result in the Company holding more than 10% of the share capital, either directly or indirectly through subsidiaries.
Before any share cancellation under the authorization granted by the Shareholders Meeting on May 29, 2019, based on the number of shares outstanding as of December 31, 2019(1) and given the 15,474,234 shares held by the Company as of December 31, 2019, representing 0.59% of the share capital, the maximum number of shares that may be purchased would be 244,713,873, representing a theoretical maximum investment of 19,577,109,840 (excluding acquisition fees) based on the maximum purchase price of 80.
Conditions for buybacks

The portion of the program carried out through the purchase of blocks of shares will not be subject to quota allocation, up to the limit set by this resolution. These transactions may be carried out at any time, in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations, except during any public offering periods applying to the Companys share capital.
Duration and schedule of the share buyback program
In accordance with the fourth resolution, which will be submitted to the Shareholders Meeting on May 29, 2020, the share buyback program may be implemented over an 18-month period following the date of this Meeting, i.e. until November 29, 2021.

Articles of incorporation and bylaws; other information |
The Board of Directors has decided to submit to the Annual Shareholders Meeting on May 29, 2020 a project to transform TOTAL S.A. into a European company (Societas Europaea or SE). The legal status of a European company is common to all the countries in the European Union and is used by an increasing number of companies in France and in Europe. This status will better reflect the economic and social reality of the Group and fully recognize its European dimension. The Group has a strong European presence, with activities in 25 European countries, representing more than 60% of its employees and more than 70% of the Groups sales.
The conversion of TOTAL S.A. into a European company will have no impact on its governance, activities, tax affairs, the organization of the Company, where it is listed or the location of the head office, which will remain in France. The Company bylaws that are amended as a result of this conversion project, which will be submitted to the Shareholders Meeting on May 29, 2020, will also include various adaptations, related in particular to the French law n°2019-486 of May 22, 2019 on the growth and the transformation of businesses, known as the Pacte law, particularly with regard to the participation of employees in the Companys Board of Directors.
7.2.1 |
General information concerning the Company |
The Companys name is TOTAL S.A.
TOTAL S.A. is a French limited liability company (société anonyme). The headquarters are located at 2, place Jean Millier, La Défense 6, 92400 Courbevoie, France. It is registered in the Nanterre Trade and Companies Register under No. 542 051 180.
The Companys term was extended for 99 years from March 22, 2000, to expire on March 22, 2099, unless dissolved prior to this date or extended.
Fiscal year: from January 1 to December 31 of each year.
LEI (Legal Entity Identifier): 529900S21EQ1BO4ESM68.
EC Registration Number: FR 59 542 051 180.
APE Code (NAF): 111Z until January 7, 2008; 7010Z since January 8, 2008.
The Companys bylaws are on file with K.L. Associés, Notaries in Paris. The telephone number is +33 (0)1 47 44 45 46 and its internet address is total.com(1).
7.2.2 |
Summary of the Companys corporate purpose |
The purpose of the Company is, directly and indirectly all activities relating to production and distribution of all forms of energy, to search for and extract mining deposits in all countries, particularly hydrocarbons in all forms, and to perform industrial refining, transport, processing and trading in said materials as well as their derivatives
and by-products, as well as all activities relating to the chemicals sector in all of its forms and to the rubber sector. The complete details of the Companys corporate purpose are set forth in Article 3 of the bylaws.
7.2.3 |
Provisions of the bylaws governing the administration and management bodies |
7.2.3.1 |
Election of directors and term of office |
Directors are elected by the Shareholders Meeting for a 3-year term up to a maximum number of directors authorized by law (currently 18), subject to the legal provisions that allow the term to be extended until the next Ordinary Shareholders Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the previous fiscal year.
In addition, one director representing the employee shareholders is also elected by the Shareholders Meeting for a 3-year term from a list of at least two candidates preselected by the employee shareholders under the conditions provided for by the laws, regulations and bylaws in force. However, his or her term shall expire automatically once this Director is no longer an employee or a shareholder. The Board of Directors may meet and conduct valid deliberations until the date his or her replacement is named.
Furthermore, a director representing the employees is designated by the Companys Central Social and Economic Committee (previously Central Works Council). Where the number of directors appointed by
the Shareholders Meeting is greater than 12(2), a second director representing the employees is designated by the Companys Central Social and Economic Committee. Law n°2019-486 of May 22, 2019 on the growth and transformation of businesses amended Article L. 225-27-1 of the French Commercial Code to reduce to eight the number of directors over which a second director representing employees must be appointed. TOTAL S.A.s bylaws are expected to be amended accordingly at the Shareholders Meeting on May 29, 2020. In accordance with applicable legal provisions, the director elected by the Central Works Council must have held an employment contract with the Company or one of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, whose registered office is based in mainland France, for at least two years prior to appointment. The second director elected by the European Works Council must have held an employment contract with the Company or one of its direct or indirect subsidiaries for at least two years prior to appointment. The term of office for a director representing the employees is three years. However, the term of office ends following the Ordinary Shareholders Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the last fiscal year and held in the year during which the said directors term of office expires.

7.2.3.2 |
Age limit of directors |
On the closing date of each fiscal year, the number of individual directors over the age of 70 may not be greater than one third of the directors in office. If this percentage is exceeded, the oldest Board member is automatically considered to have resigned. The director permanent representative of a legal entity must be under 70 years old.
7.2.3.3 |
Age limit of the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer |
The duties of the Chairman of the Board automatically cease on his or her 70th birthday at the latest.
To hold this office, the Chief Executive Officer must be under the age of 67. When the age limit is reached during his or her duties, such duties automatically cease, and the Board of Directors elects a new Chief Executive Officer. However, his or her duties as Chief Executive Officer will continue until the date of the Board of Directors meeting aimed at electing his or her successor. Subject to the age limit specified above, the Chief Executive Officer can always be re-elected.
The age limits specified above are stipulated in the Companys bylaws. They were approved by the Annual Shareholders Meeting held on May 16, 2014.
7.2.3.4 |
Minimum interest in the Company held by directors |
Each director (other than the director representing the employee shareholders or the directors representing the employees) must own at least 1,000 shares during his or her term of office. If, however, any director ceases to own the required number of shares, they may adjust their position subject to the conditions set by law. The director representing employee shareholders must hold, during his or her
term of office, either individually or through a Company Savings Plan (Fonds Commun de Placement dEntreprise, FCPE) governed by Article L. 214-165 of the French Monetary and Financial Code, at least one share or a number of units in said fund equivalent to at least one share. The directors representing the employees are not required to be shareholders.
7.2.3.5 |
Majority rules for Board meetings |
Decisions are adopted by a majority vote of the directors present or represented. In the event of a tie vote, the person chairing the meeting shall cast the deciding vote.
7.2.3.6 |
Rules of procedure and Committees of the Board of Directors |
Refer to point 4.1.2 of chapter 4.
7.2.3.7 |
Form of management |
Management of the Company is assumed either by the Chairman of the Board of Directors (who then holds the title of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer), or by another person appointed by the Board of Directors with the title of Chief Executive Officer. It is the responsibility of the Board of Directors to choose between these two forms of management under the majority rules described above.
At its meeting on December 16, 2015, the Board of Directors decided to reunify the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TOTAL S.A. as of December 19, 2015. Since that date, Mr. Pouyanné has held the position of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TOTAL S.A. After his term of office as director was renewed for a three-year period at the Shareholders Meeting on June 1, 2018, the Board of Directors reappointed Mr. Pouyanné as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TOTAL S.A. for the same period. For additional information on the governance structure, refer to point 4.1.5.1 of chapter 4.
7.2.4 |
Rights, privileges and restrictions attached to the shares |
In addition to the right to vote, each share entitles the holder to a portion of the corporate assets, distributions of profits and liquidation dividend that is proportional to the number of shares issued, subject to the laws and regulations in force, as well as the bylaws.
With the exception of double voting rights, no privilege is attached to a specific class of shares or to a specific class of shareholders.
7.2.4.1 |
Double voting rights |
Double voting rights, in relation to the portion of share capital they represent, are granted to all fully paid-up registered shares held continuously in the name of the same shareholder for at least two years(1), and to additional registered shares allotted to a shareholder in connection with a share capital increase by capitalization of reserves, profits or premiums on the basis of the existing shares which entitle the shareholder to a double voting right.
7.2.4.2 |
Limitation of voting rights |
Article 18 of the Companys bylaws provides that at Shareholders Meetings, no shareholder may cast, by himself or through his agent, on the basis of the single voting rights attached to the shares he holds directly or indirectly and the shares for which he holds powers, more than 10% of the total number of voting rights attached to the Companys shares. In the case of double voting rights, by himself or
through his agent, this limit may be exceeded, taking only the resulting additional voting rights into account, provided that the total voting rights that he exercises do not exceed 20% of the total voting rights associated with the shares in the Company.
Additionally, Article 18 of the bylaws also provides that the limitation on voting rights no longer applies, absent any decision of the Shareholders Meeting, if an individual or a legal entity acting solely or together with one or more individuals or entities acquires at least two thirds of the Companys shares following a public tender offer for all the Companys shares. In that case, the Board of Directors acknowledges that the limitation no longer applies and carries out the necessary procedure to modify the Companys bylaws accordingly.
Once acknowledged, the fact that the limitation no longer applies is final and applies to all Shareholders Meetings following the public tender offer under which the acquisition of at least two thirds of the overall number of shares of the Company was made possible, and not solely to the first meeting following that public tender offer.
Since in such circumstances the limitation no longer applies, such limitation on voting rights cannot prevent or delay any takeover of the Company, except in case of a public tender offer where the bidder does not acquire at least two thirds of the Companys shares.
(1) |
This term is not interrupted and the right acquired is retained in case of a conversion of bearer to bearer pursuant to intestate or testamentary succession, share of community property between spouses or donation to the spouse or relatives entitled to inherit (Article 18 § 6 of the bylaws). |

7.2.4.3 |
Fractional rights |
Whenever it is necessary to own several shares in order to exercise a right, a number of shares less than the number required does not give the owners any right with respect to the Company; in such case, the shareholders are responsible for aggregating the required number of shares.
7.2.4.4 |
Statutory allocation of profits |
The Company may distribute dividends under the conditions provided for by the French Commercial Code and the Companys bylaws.
The net profit for the period is equal to the net income minus general expenses and other personnel expenses, all amortization and depreciation of the assets, as well as all provisions for commercial and industrial contingencies.
From this profit, minus prior losses, if any, the following items are deducted in the order indicated:
|
5% to constitute the legal reserve fund, until said fund reaches 10% of the share capital; |
|
the amounts set by the Shareholders Meeting in order to fund reserves for which it determines the allocation or use; and |
|
the amounts that the Shareholders Meeting decides to retain. |
The remainder is paid to the shareholders as dividends.
The Board of Directors may pay interim dividends.
The Shareholders Meeting held to approve the financial statements for the fiscal year may decide to grant shareholders an option, for all or part of the dividend or interim dividends, between payment of the dividend in cash or in shares.
The Shareholders Meeting may decide at any time, but only based on a proposal by the Board of Directors, to make a full or partial distribution of the amounts in the reserve accounts, either in cash or in Company shares.
Dividends that have not been claimed at the end of a five-year period are forfeited to the French State.
7.2.5 |
Amending shareholders rights |
Any amendment to the bylaws must be approved or authorized by the Shareholders Meeting voting with the quorum and majority required
by the laws and regulations governing Extraordinary Shareholders Meetings.
7.2.6 |
Shareholders Meetings |
Refer to point 4.4.3 of chapter 4 for the terms and conditions of the notice and admission to Shareholders Meetings.
7.2.7 |
Identification of the holders of bearer shares |
In accordance with Article 9 of its bylaws, TOTAL S.A. is authorized, to the extent permitted under applicable law, to identify the holders of securities that grant an immediate or future voting right at the Companys Shareholders Meetings.
Law n° 2019-486 of May 22, 2019 on the growth and transformation of businesses amended Article L. 228-2 of the French Commercial Code to stipulate that this ability to make use of the procedure is a matter of law, and any provision of the bylaws to the contrary shall be deemed unwritten.
7.2.8 |
Thresholds to be declared according to the bylaws |
Any individual or entity who directly or indirectly acquires a percentage of the share capital, voting rights or rights giving future access to the share capital of the Company that is equal to or greater than 1%, or a multiple of this percentage, is required to notify the Company within 15 days as from the crossing of each threshold, by registered mail with return receipt requested, and declare the number of securities held.
In case the shares above these thresholds are not declared, as specified in the preceding paragraph, any shares held in excess of, the threshold that should have been declared will be deprived of
voting rights at Shareholders Meetings if, at a Shareholders Meeting, the failure to make a declaration is acknowledged and if one or more shareholders holding collectively at least 3% of the Companys share capital or voting rights so request at that meeting.
All individuals and entities are also required to notify the Company, in due form and within the time limits stated above, when their direct or indirect holdings fall below each of the thresholds mentioned in the first paragraph.
7.2.9 |
Changes in the share capital |
The Companys share capital may be changed only under the conditions stipulated by the legal and regulatory provisions in force. No provision of the bylaws, charter, or internal regulations provide for more stringent conditions than the law governing changes in the Companys share capital.
The French Commercial Code stipulates that shareholders hold, in proportion to their number of shares, a preemptive subscription right to shares issued for cash to increase the share capital. The Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting can decide, under the conditions provided for by law, to remove this preemptive subscription right.

Consolidated Financial Statements
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
|
Basis of preparation of the consolidated financial statements
The Consolidated Financial Statements of TOTAL S.A. and its subsidiaries (the Group) are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared on the basis of IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) as adopted by the European Union and IFRS as issued by the IASB (International Accounting Standard Board) as of December 31, 2019.
The accounting principles applied for the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2019, were the same as those that were used for the financial statements at December 31, 2018, with the exception of those texts or amendments that must be applied for periods beginning January 1, 2019.
First-time application of IFRS 16 Leases
As part of the first application of IFRS 16 Leases as of January 1, 2019, the Group:
|
applied the simplified retrospective transition method, accounting for the cumulative effect of the initial application of the standard at the date of first application, without restating the comparative periods; |
|
used the following simplification measures provided by the standard in the transitional provisions: |
|
exclusion of contracts that the Group had not previously identified as containing a lease under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4, |
|
exclusion of leases whose term ends within 12 months of the date of first application; |
|
recognized each lease component as a separate lease, separately from non-lease components of the lease (services); |
|
applied the two exemptions of the standard on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. |
The impact of the application of this standard as at January 1, 2019 is $5,698 million on fixed assets, $(5,505) million on net debt and $(193) million on other assets and liabilities. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate of 4.5% at transition date was determined on the basis of the initial duration of the contracts.
The impact on fixed assets is broken down as follows:
(in M$) | ||||
Right of use of buildings | 2,278 | |||
Right of use of machinery, plant and equipment
(including transportation equipment) |
2,632 | |||
Other right of use | 788 | |||
Total |
5,698 |
Other information related to the application of IFRS 16 Leases are presented in note 13.2 Leases.
Further to the review of leases entered into as part of joint operations, in accordance with the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) decision, all liabilities related to such leases have been recognized as at September 30, 2019 when the group has primary responsibility of the lease payments. When the right of use of the asset is jointly controlled by the group and the other partners, a financial receivable has been recognized for the portion of the asset transferred to the partners.
First-time application of IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
The Group applied IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments as of January 1st 2019. IFRIC 23 clarifies application of the recognition, measurement and presentation of IAS 12 Income Taxes provisions, when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments under that standard.
The effect of the first application of the standard on the Groups financial statements, as at January 1, 2019, is non-material.
Major judgments and accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS for the closing as of December 31, 2019 requires the executive management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the information reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto.
These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on historical experience and other factors believed to be reasonable at the date of preparation of the financial statements. They are reviewed on an on-going basis by management and therefore could be revised as circumstances change or as a result of new information.
Different estimates, assumptions and judgments could significantly affect the information reported, and actual results may differ from the amounts included in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto.
The following summary provides further information about the key estimates, assumptions and judgments that are involved in preparing, the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto. It should be read in conjunction with the sections of the Notes mentioned in the summary.
Estimation of hydrocarbon reserves
The estimation of oil and gas reserves is a key factor in the Successful Efforts method used by the Group to account for its oil and gas activities.
The Groups oil and gas reserves are estimated by the Groups petroleum engineers in accordance with industry standards and SEC (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) regulations.
Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geosciences and engineering data, can be determined with reasonable certainty to be recoverable (from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations), prior to the time at which contracts providing the rights to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation.
Proved oil and gas reserves are calculated using a 12-month average price determined as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month of the relevant year unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions. The Group reassesses its oil and gas reserves at least once a year on all its properties.
The Successful Efforts method and the mineral interests and property and equipment of exploration and production are presented in Note 7 Intangible and tangible assets.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill
As part of the determination of the recoverable value of assets for impairment (IAS36), the estimates, assumptions and judgments mainly concern hydrocarbon prices scenarios, operating costs, production volumes and oil and gas proved reserves, refining margins and product marketing conditions (mainly petroleum, petrochemical and chemical products as well as renewable industry products). The estimates and assumptions used by the executive management are determined in specialized internal departments in light of economic conditions and external expert analysis. The discount rate is reviewed annually.
Asset impairment and the method applied are described in Note 3 Business segment information.
Employee benefits
The benefit obligations and plan assets can be subject to significant volatility due in part to changes in market values and actuarial assumptions. These assumptions vary between different pension plans and thus take into account local conditions. They are determined following a formal process involving expertise and Group internal judgments, in financial and actuarial terms, and also in consultation with actuaries and independent experts.
The assumptions for each plan are reviewed annually and adjusted if necessary to reflect changes from the experience and actuarial advice. The discount rate is reviewed quarterly.
Payroll, staff and employee benefits obligations and the method applied are described in Note 10 Payroll, staff and employee benefits obligations.
Asset retirement obligations
Asset retirement obligations, which result from a legal or constructive obligation, are recognized based on a reasonable estimate in the period in which the obligation arises.
This estimate is based on information available in terms of costs and work program. It is regularly reviewed to take into account the changes in laws and regulations, the estimates of reserves and production, the analysis of site conditions and technologies.
The discount rate is reviewed annually.
Asset retirement obligations and the method used are described in Note 12 Provisions and other non-current liabilities.
Income Taxes
A tax liability is recognized when in application of a tax regulation, a future payment is considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. The exercise of judgment is required to assess the impact of new events on the amount of the liability.
Deferred tax assets are recognized in the accounts to the extent that their recovery is considered probable. The amount of these assets is determined based on taxable profits existing at the closing date and future taxable profits which estimation is inherently uncertain and subject to change over time. The exercise of judgment is required to assess the impact of new events on the value of these assets and including changes in estimates of future taxable profits and the deadlines for their use.
In addition, these tax positions may depend on interpretations of tax laws and regulations in the countries where the Group operates. These interpretations may have uncertain nature. Depending on the circumstances, they are final only after negotiations or resolution of disputes with authorities that can last several years.
Incomes taxes and the accounting methods are described in Note 11 Income taxes.
Judgments in case of transactions not addressed by any accounting standard or interpretation
Furthermore, when the accounting treatment of a specific transaction is not addressed by any accounting standard or interpretation, the management applies its judgment to define and apply accounting
policies that provide information consistent with the general IFRS concepts: faithful representation, relevance and materiality.
NOTE |
1 General accounting policies |
1.1 |
Accounting policies |
A) Principles of consolidation
Entities that are directly controlled by the parent company or indirectly controlled by other consolidated entities are fully consolidated.
Investments in joint ventures are consolidated under the equity method. The Group accounts for joint operations by recognizing its share of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.
Investments in associates, in which the Group has significant influence, are accounted for by the equity method. Significant influence is presumed when the Group holds, directly or indirectly (e.g. through subsidiaries),
20% or more of the voting rights. Companies in which ownership interest is less than 20%, but over which the Company is deemed to exercise significant influence, are also accounted for by the equity method.
All internal balances, transactions and income are eliminated.
B) Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. This method requires the recognition of the acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities of the companies acquired by the Group at their fair value.

Over the fair value at the acquisition date of acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities. |
If the consideration transferred is lower than the fair value of acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities, an additional analysis is performed on the identification and valuation of the identifiable elements of the assets and liabilities. After having completed such additional analysis, any negative goodwill is recorded as income.
Non-controlling interests are measured either at their proportionate share in the net assets of the acquired company or at fair value.
In transactions with non-controlling interests, the difference between the price paid (received) and the book value of non-controlling interests acquired (sold) is recognized directly in equity.
C) Foreign currency translation
The presentation currency of the Groups Consolidated Financial Statements is the US dollar. However the functional currency of the parent company is the euro. The resulting currency translation adjustments are presented on the line currency translation adjustment generated by the parent company of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, within items not potentially reclassifiable to profit and loss. In the balance sheet, they are recorded in currency translation adjustment.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared in the currency that most clearly reflects their business environment. This is referred to as their functional currency.
Since 1st July 2018, Argentina is considered to be hyperinflationary. IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies is applicable to entities whose functional currency is the Argentine peso. The functional currency of the Argentine Exploration & Production subsidiary is the US dollar, therefore IAS 29 has no incidence on the Group accounts. Net asset of the other business segments is not significant.
(i) Monetary transactions
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity are translated at the exchange rate on the transaction date. At each balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate and the resulting exchange differences are recognized in the statement of income.
(ii) Translation of financial statements
Assets and liabilities of entities denominated in currencies other than dollar are translated into dollar on the basis of the exchange rates at the end of the period. The income and cash flow statements are translated using the average exchange rates for the period. Foreign exchange differences resulting from such translations are either recorded in shareholders equity under Currency translation adjustments (for the Group share) or under Non-controlling interests (for the share of non-controlling interests) as deemed appropriate.

Significant accounting policies applicable in the future |
The standards or interpretations published respectively by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) which were not yet in effect at December 31, 2019, are as follows:
Standards not yet adopted by the European Union at December 31, 2019
In September 2019, the IASB published an amendment to IFRS9, IAS39 and IFRS7 in response to the IBOR reform applicable as of January 1, 2020. As at December 31, 2019, IBOR rates are still reference rates on the financial markets and are used for the measurement of financial instruments with maturity dates exceeding the expected replacement date of those rates. As at December 31, 2019, the Group considers that the current market structure justifies the continuity of hedge accounting.

NOTE 3 Business segment information
Description of the business segments
Financial information by business segment is reported in accordance with the internal reporting system and shows internal segment information that is used to manage and measure the performance of TOTAL and which is reviewed by the main operational decision-making body of the Group, namely the Executive Committee.
The operational profit and assets are broken down by business segment prior to the consolidation and inter-segment adjustments.
Sales prices between business segments approximate market prices.
The profitable growth in the gas and low carbon electricity integrated value chains is one of the key axes of TOTALs strategy. In order to give more visibility to these businesses, a new reporting structure for the business segments financial information has been put in place, effective January 1, 2019.
The organization of the Groups activities is structured around the four followings segments:
|
An Exploration & Production segment; |
|
An Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power segment comprising integrated gas (including LNG) and low carbon electricity businesses. It includes the upstream and midstream LNG activity that was previously reported in the EP segment; |
|
A Refining & Chemicals segment constituting a major industrial hub comprising the activities of refining, petrochemicals and specialty chemicals. This segment also includes the activities of oil Supply, Trading and marine Shipping; |
|
A Marketing & Services segment including the global activities of supply and marketing in the field of petroleum products; |
In addition the Corporate segment includes holdings operating and financial activities.
Certain figures for the years 2017 and 2018 have been restated in order to reflect the new organization.
Definition of the indicators
(i) |
Operating income (measure used to evaluate operating performance) |
Revenue from sales after deducting cost of goods sold and inventory variations, other operating expenses, exploration expenses and depreciation, depletion, and impairment of tangible assets and mineral interests.
Operating income excludes the amortization of intangible assets other than mineral interests, currency translation adjustments and gains or losses on the disposal of assets.
(ii) |
Net operating income (measure used to evaluate the return on capital employed) |
Operating income after taking into account the amortization of intangible assets other than mineral interests, currency translation adjustments, gains or losses on the disposal of assets, as well as all other income and expenses related to capital employed (dividends from non-consolidated companies, equity in income of affiliates, capitalized interest expenses ), and after income taxes applicable to the above.
The only income and expense not included in net operating income but included in net income Group share are interest expenses related to net financial debt, after applicable income taxes (net cost of net debt) and non-controlling interests.
(iii) |
Adjusted income |
Operating income, net operating income, or net income excluding the effect of adjustment items described below.
(iv) |
Capital employed |
Non-current assets and working capital, at replacement cost, net of deferred income taxes and non-current liabilities.
(v) |
ROACE (Return on Average Capital Employed) |
Ratio of adjusted net operating income to average capital employed between the beginning and the end of the period.
Performance indicators excluding the adjustment items, such as adjusted incomes and ROACE are meant to facilitate the analysis of the financial performance and the comparison of income between periods.
Adjustment items
Adjustment items include:
(i) |
Special items |
Due to their unusual nature or particular significance, certain transactions qualified as special items are excluded from the business segment figures. In general, special items relate to transactions that are significant, infrequent or unusual. However, in certain instances, transactions such as restructuring costs or assets disposals, which are not considered to be representative of the normal course of business, may be qualified as special items although they may have occurred within prior years or are likely to occur again within the coming years.
(ii) |
The inventory valuation effect |
The adjusted results of the Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services segments are presented according to the replacement cost method. This method is used to assess the segments performance and facilitate the comparability of the segments performance with those of its main competitors.
In the replacement cost method, which approximates the LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) method, the variation of inventory values in the statement of income is, depending on the nature of the inventory, determined using either the month-end prices differential between one period and another or the average prices of the period rather than the historical value. The inventory valuation effect is the difference between the results according to the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) and the replacement cost methods.
(iii) |
Effect of changes in fair value |
The effect of changes in fair value presented as adjustment items reflects for some transactions differences between internal measure of performance used by TOTALs management and the accounting for these transactions under IFRS.
IFRS requires that trading inventories be recorded at their fair value using period end spot prices. In order to best reflect the management of economic exposure through derivative transactions, internal indicators used to measure performance include valuations of trading inventories based on forward prices.
Furthermore, TOTAL, in its trading activities, enters into storage contracts, which future effects are recorded at fair value in the Groups internal economic performance. IFRS precludes recognition of this fair value effect.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The recoverable amounts of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are tested for impairment as soon as any indication of impairment exists. This test is performed at least annually for goodwill.
The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value (less costs to sell) or the value in use.
Assets are grouped into cash-generating units (or CGUs) and tested. A CGU is a homogeneous set of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other groups of assets.
The value in use of a CGU is determined by reference to the discounted expected future cash flows of these assets, based upon Managements expectation of future economic and operating conditions. When this value is less than the carrying amount of the CGU, an impairment loss is recorded. This loss is allocated first to goodwill with a corresponding amount in Other expenses. Any further losses are then allocated to
|
|
property, plant and mineral interests with a corresponding amount in Depreciation, depletion and impairment of tangible assets and mineral interests and to other intangible assets with a corresponding amount in Other expenses.
Impairment losses recognized in prior periods can be reversed up to the original carrying amount, had the impairment loss not been recognized. Impairment losses recognized on goodwill cannot be reversed.
Investments in associates or joint ventures are tested for impairment whenever indication of impairment exists. If any objective evidence of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is compared with its recoverable amount, being the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recorded in Net income (loss) from equity affiliates.
|
|
For the financial year 2019, asset impairments were recorded for an amount of $(920) million in operating income and $(465) million in net income, Group share. These impairments were qualified as adjustment items of the operating income and net income, Group share.
Impairments relate to certain cash-generating units (CGUs) for which indicators of impairment have been identified, due to changes in operating conditions or the economic environment of the activities concerned.
The principles applied are as follows:
|
the future cash flows were determined using the assumptions included in the 2020 budget and in the long-term plan of the Group approved by the Group Executive Committee and the Board of Directors. These assumptions, including in particular operational costs, estimation of oil and gas reserves, future volumes produced and marketed, represent the best estimate from the Group management of economic and technical conditions over the remaining life of the assets; |
|
the Group, notably relying on data on global energy demand from the World Energy Outlook issued by the IEA since 2016, and on its own supply assessments, determines the oil & gas prices scenarios based on assumptions about the evolution of core indicators of the Upstream activity (demand for oil & gas products in different markets, investment forecasts, decline in production fields, changes in oil & gas reserves and supply by area and by nature of oil & gas products), of the Downstream activity (changes in refining capacity and demand for petroleum products) and by integrating climate challenges. |
These price scenarios, first prepared within the Strategy and Climate Division, are also reviewed by the Group segments which bring their own expertise. They also integrate studies issued by international agencies, banks and independent consultants. They are then approved by the Executive Committee and the Board of directors.
The IEA 2019 World Energy Outlook anticipates three scenarios (Stated Policies Scenario (SPS), Current Policies Scenario (CPS) and Sustainable Development Scenario (SDS)). Among these scenarios, the SPS (central scenario of the IEA) for the short/mid term and the SDS for the mid/long term are important references for the Group. The Group therefore establishes its long-term price trajectory in line with the IEAs SDS scenario, which is compatible with the Paris Agreement, and foresees oil prices converging towards $201850 per barrel by 2050.
The SPS takes into account the measures already implemented by countries in the energy area as well as the effects of the policies announced by Governments (including the Nationally Determined Contributions - NDC of the Paris Climate Agreement). The SDS takes into account necessary measures to achieve a temperature rise of less than 2°C compared to pre-industrial levels, and the energy- related goals set in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted in 2015 by the UN members.
The oil and gas price trajectories adopted by the Group are based on the following assumptions:
Oil demand should continue to grow in the medium term, in a context of sustained growth in global energy demand and despite the gradual electrification of transport and efficiency gains in thermal engines. Crude oil prices would then follow a downward trajectory from 2030 onwards to converge towards $201850/b in 2050, due to the impact on demand of policies compatible with the Paris agreement and the production potential of certain major producing countries (US, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Russia, etc.).
Natural gas demand would also be driven by its substitution to coal in power generation and its role as an alternative source to mitigate the intermittent use of renewable energies. The abundant global supply and the growth of liquefied natural gas would, however, limit the potential for higher gas prices.
In this context, given the need for the industry to make very substantial investments to cope with the natural decline of the fields, and meet the oil demand predicted by these scenarios over the next 20 years and given the slowdown in investment observed since 2015 in the oil and gas industry:
|
the crude oil price level considered to determine the recoverable value of CGUs increases from $201864 per barrel of Brent in 2019 to $201870 in 2025, and would remain stable for the following five years. Afterwards, the price decreases to reach $201850 in 2050, in line with the IEAs SDS scenario, |
|
as for gas, the price level considered to determine the recoverable value of CGUs stabilizes in the long term at approximately $20186/MBTU for the NBP price (Europe) and $20182.6/MBTU for the Henry Hub price (United States). |
|
the future operational costs were determined by taking into account the existing technologies, the fluctuation of prices for petroleum services in line with market developments and the internal cost reduction programs effectively implemented ; |

|
the future cash flows are estimated over a period consistent with the life of the assets of the CGUs. They are prepared post-tax and take into account specific risks related to the CGUs assets. They are discounted using a 7% post-tax discount rate, this rate being the weighted-average cost of capital estimated from historical market data. This rate was 7% in 2018 and 2017. The value in use calculated by discounting the above post-tax cash flows using a 7% post-tax discount rate is not materially different from the value in use calculated by discounting pre-tax cash flows using a pre-tax discount rate determined by an iterative computation from the post-tax value in use. These pre-tax discount rates generally ranged from 7% to 14% in 2019. |
The CGUs of the Exploration & Production segment are defined as oil and gas fields or groups of oil and gas fields with industrial assets enabling the production, treatment and evacuation of the oil and gas. For the financial year 2019, impairments of assets were recognized over CGUs of the Exploration & Production segment for an impact of $(721) million in operating income and $(530) million in net income, Group share. Impairments recognized in 2019 relate to assets mainly located in the United States (Utica, Chinook).
As for sensitivities:
|
a decrease by one point in the discount rate would have an impact close to zero in operating income and in net income, Group share; |
|
an increase by one point in the discount rate would have an additional negative impact of approximately $0.9 billion in operating income and in net income, Group share; |
|
a variation of (10)% of the oil and gas prices over the duration of the plan would have an additional negative impact of approximately $2 billion in operating income and $1.6 billion in net income, Group share. |
The most sensitive assets would be the assets already impaired in 2019 or before (impact of approximately $1.4 billion in operating income and $0.8 billion in net income, Group share), especially assets in Canada and in Congo.
The CGUs of the Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power segment are subsidiaries or groups of subsidiaries organized by activity or geographical area, and by fields or groups of fields for upstream LNG activities. In financial year 2019, the Group recorded impairments on CGUs in the Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power segment for $(156) million in operating income and $105 million in net income, Group share.
As for sensitivities of upstream LNG activities and CGUs including a material goodwill:
|
a decrease by one point in the discount rate would have a positive impact of approximately $0.1 billion in operating income and in net income, Group share; |
|
an increase by one point in the discount rate would have an additional negative impact of approximately $0.9 billion in operating income and in net income, Group share; |
|
a variation of (10)% of the oil and gas prices over the duration of the plan would have an additional negative impact of approximately $1.1 billion in operating income and $1 billion in net income, Group share. |
The most sensitive assets would be the assets already impaired in 2019 or before (impact of approximately $1.1 billion in operating income and $1 billion in net income, Group share), especially Ichthys in Australia.
The CGUs of the Refining & Chemicals segment are defined as legal entities with operational activities for refining and petrochemicals activities. Future cash flows are based on the gross contribution margin (calculated on the basis of net sales after purchases of crude oil and refined products, the effect of inventory valuation and variable costs). The other activities of the segment are global divisions, each division gathering a set of businesses or homogeneous products for strategic, commercial and industrial plans. Future cash flows are determined from the specific margins of these activities, unrelated to the price of oil. No significant impairment has been recorded for the CGUs of the Refining & Chemicals segment in financial year 2019.
The CGUs of the Marketing & Services segment are subsidiaries or groups of subsidiaries organized by geographical area. No significant impairment has been recorded for the CGUs of the Marketing & Services segment in financial year 2019.
For the financial year 2018, the Group recorded impairments in Exploration & Production, Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power and Refining & Chemicals segments for an amount of $(1,774) million in operating income and $(1,595) million in net income, Group share. These impairments were qualified as adjustment items of the operating income and net income, Group share.
For financial year 2017, the Group recorded impairments in Exploration & Production, Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power, Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services segments for an amount of $(4,662) million in operating income and $(3,884) million in net income, Group share. These impairments were qualified as adjustments items of the operating income and net income, Group share.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
IFRS 15 requires identification of the performance obligations for the transfer of goods and services in each contract with customers. Revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of the performance obligations for the amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services.
Sales of goods
Revenues from sales are recognized when the control has been transferred to the buyer and the amount can be reasonably measured. Revenues from sales of crude oil and natural gas are recorded upon transfer of title, according to the terms of the sales contracts.
Revenues from the production of crude oil and natural gas properties, in which the Group has an interest with other producers, are recognized based on actual entitlement volumes sold over the period. Any difference between entitlement volumes and volumes sold, based on the Group net working interest, are recognized in the Under-lifting and Over-lifting accounts in the balance sheet and in operating expenses in the profit and loss.
Quantities delivered that represent production royalties and taxes, when paid in cash, are included in oil and gas revenues, except for the United States and Canada.
Certain transactions within the trading activities (contracts involving quantities that are purchased from third parties then resold to third parties) are shown at their net value in sales.
Exchanges of crude oil and petroleum products within normal trading activities do not generate any income and therefore these flows are shown at their net value in both the statement of income and the balance sheet. |
|
Sales of services
Revenues from services are recognized when the services have been rendered.
Revenues from gas transport are recognized when services are rendered. These revenues are based on the quantities transported and measured according to procedures defined in each service contract.
Shipping revenues and expenses from time-charter activities are recognized on a pro rata basis over a period that commences upon the unloading of the previous voyage and terminates upon the unloading of the current voyage. Shipping revenue recognition starts only when a charter has been agreed to by both the Group and the customer.
Income related to the distribution of electricity and gas are not recognized in revenues because the Group acts as an agent in this transaction. The Group is not responsible for the delivery and does not set the price of the service, because it can only pass on to the customer the amounts invoiced to it by the distributors.
Excise taxes
Excise taxes are rights or taxes which amount is calculated based on the quantity of oil and gas products put on the market. Excise taxes are determined by the states. They are paid directly to the customs and tax authorities and then invoiced to final customers by being included in the sales price.
The analysis of the criteria set by IFRS 15 led the Group to determine that it was acting as principal in these transactions. Therefore sales include excise taxes collected by the Group within the course of its oil distribution operations. Excise taxes are deducted from sales in order to obtain the Revenues from sales indicator.

Working capital |
5.4.1 |
Inventories |
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Inventories are measured in the Consolidated Financial Statements at the lower of historical cost or market value. Costs for petroleum and petrochemical products are determined according to the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) method or weighted-average cost method and other inventories are measured using the weighted-average cost method.
In addition stocks held for trading are measured at fair value less cost to sell.
Refining & Chemicals
Petroleum product inventories are mainly comprised of crude oil and refined products. Refined products principally consist of gasoline, distillate and fuel produced by the Groups refineries. The turnover of petroleum products does not exceed two months on average.
Crude oil costs include raw material and receiving costs. Refining costs principally include crude oil costs, production costs (energy, labor, depreciation of producing assets) and an allocation of production overheads (taxes, maintenance, insurance, etc.).
Costs of chemical product inventories consist of raw material costs, direct labor costs and an allocation of production overheads. Start-up costs, general administrative costs and financing costs are excluded from the costs of refined and chemicals products.
Marketing & Services
The costs of refined products include mainly raw materials costs, production costs (energy, labor, depreciation of producing assets) and an allocation of production overheads (taxes, maintenance, insurance, etc.).
General administrative costs and financing costs are excluded from the cost price of refined products.
Product inventories purchased from entities external to the Group are valued at their purchase cost plus primary costs of transport. |
|
Carbon dioxide emission rights
In the absence of a current IFRS standard or interpretation on accounting for emission rights of carbon dioxide, the following principles are applied: emission rights are managed as a cost of production and as such are recognized in inventories: emission rights allocated for free are booked in inventories with a nil carrying amount; purchased emission rights are booked at acquisition cost; sales or annual surrender of emission rights result in decreases in inventories valued at weighted average cost; if the carrying amount of inventories at closing date is higher than the market value, an impairment loss is recorded. at each closing, a provision is recorded in order to materialize the obligation to surrender emission rights related to the emissions of the period. This provision is calculated based on estimated emissions of the period, valued at weighted average cost of the inventories at the end of the period. It is reversed when the emission rights are surrendered; if emission rights to be surrendered at the end of the compliance period are higher than emission rights recorded in inventories, the shortage is accounted for as a liability at market value; forward transactions are recognized at their fair market value in the balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of such forward transactions are recognized in the statement of income.
Energy savings certificates
In the absence of current IFRS standards or interpretations on accounting for energy savings certificates (ESC), the following principles are applied: if the obligations linked to the sales of energy are greater than the number of ESCs held then a liability is recorded. These liabilities are valued based on the price of the last transactions; in the event that the number of ESCs held exceeds the obligation at the balance sheet date this is accounted for as inventory. Otherwise a valuation allowance is recorded; ESC inventories are valued at weighted average cost (acquisition cost for those ESCs acquired or cost incurred for those ESCs generated internally).
If the carrying value of the inventory of certificates at the balance sheet date is higher than the market value, an impairment loss is recorded.

Intangible assets |
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Goodwill
Guidance for measuring goodwill is presented in Note 1.1 paragraph B to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually and as soon as there is any indication of impairment.
Mineral interests
Unproved mineral interests are tested for impairment based on the results of the exploratory activity or as part of the impairment tests of the cash-generating units to which they are allocated.
Unproved mineral interests are transferred to proved mineral interests at their net book value as soon as proved reserves are booked.
Proved mineral interests are depreciated using the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves.
|
|
The corresponding expense is recorded as depreciation of tangible assets and mineral interests.
Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets include patents, trademarks, and lease rights.
Intangible assets are carried at cost, after deducting any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets (excluding mineral interests) that have a finite useful life are amortized on a straight-line basis over three to twenty years depending on the useful life of the assets. The corresponding expense is recorded under other expense. |

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Exploration costs
The Group applies IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. Oil and gas exploration and production properties and assets are accounted for in accordance with the Successful Efforts method.
Exploratory wells are capitalized and tested for impairment on a well-by-well basis as follows: costs of exploratory wells which result in proved reserves are capitalized and then depreciated using the unit-of-production method based on proved developed reserves; costs of exploratory wells are temporarily capitalized until a determination is made as to whether the well has found proved reserves if both of the following conditions are met: the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify, if appropriate, its completion as a producing well, assuming that the required capital expenditures are made; the Group is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. This progress is evaluated on the basis of indicators such as whether additional exploratory works are under way or firmly planned (wells, seismic or significant studies), whether costs are being incurred for development studies and whether the Group is waiting for governmental or other third-party authorization of a proposed project, or availability of capacity on an existing transport or processing facility.
Costs of exploratory wells not meeting these conditions are charged to exploration costs.
Oil and Gas producing assets of exploration and production activities
Development costs of oil and gas production facilities are capitalized. These costs include borrowing costs incurred during the period of construction and the present value of estimated future costs of asset retirement obligations.
The depletion rate of development wells and of producing assets is equal to the ratio of oil and gas production for the period to proved developed reserves (unit-of-production method). |
|
With respect to phased development projects or projects subject to progressive well production start-up, the fixed assets depreciable amount, excluding production or service wells, is adjusted to exclude the portion of development costs attributable to the undeveloped reserves of these projects.
With respect to production sharing contracts, the unit-of-production method is based on the portion of production and reserves assigned to the Group taking into account estimates based on the contractual clauses regarding the reimbursement of exploration, development and production costs (cost oil/gas) as well as the sharing of hydrocarbon rights (profit oil/gas).
Hydrocarbon transportation and processing assets are depreciated using the unit-of-production method based on throughput or by using the straight-line method whichever best reflects the duration of use of the economic life of the asset.
Other property, plant and equipment
Other property, plant and equipment are carried at cost, after deducting any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. This cost includes borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or production of a qualifying asset incurred until assets are placed in service. Borrowing costs are capitalized as follows: if the project benefits from a specific funding, the capitalization of borrowing costs is based on the borrowing rate; if the project is financed by all the Groups debt, the capitalization of borrowing costs is based on the weighted average borrowing cost for the period.
Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The costs of major turnarounds of refineries and large petrochemical units are capitalized as incurred and depreciated over the period of time between two consecutive major turnarounds.
Other property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their useful lives, which are as follows:
|
Furniture, office equipment, machinery and tools | 3-12 years | |||
Transportation equipment | 5-20 years | |||
Storage tanks and related equipment | 10-15 years | |||
Specialized complex installations and pipelines | 10-30 years | |||

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES |
||
Under the equity method, the investment in the associate or joint venture is initially recognized at acquisition cost and subsequently adjusted to recognize the Groups share of the net income and other comprehensive income of the associate or joint venture.
Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its equity-accounted entities are eliminated to the extent of the Groups interest in the equity accounted entity.
In equity affiliates, goodwill is included in investment book value.
|
In cases where the group holds less than 20% of the voting rights in another entity, the determination of whether the Group exercises significant influence is also based on other facts and circumstances: representation on the Board of Directors or an equivalent governing body of the entity, participation in policy-making processes, including participation in decisions relating to dividends or other distributions, significant transactions between the investor and the entity, exchange of management personnel, or provision of essential technical information. |

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Other investments are equity instruments and are measured according to IFRS 9 at fair value through profit and loss (default option). On initial recognition, the standard allows to make an election and record the changes of fair value in other comprehensive income. For these securities, only dividends can be recognized in profit or loss.
The Group recognizes changes in fair value in equity or in profit or loss according to the option chosen on an instrument by instrument basis.
For securities traded in active markets, this fair value is equal to the market price.
Securities whose fair value is not reliably determinable, are recorded at their acquisition value.
|
For years prior to the application of IFRS 9, equity instruments were classified as available for sale financial assets and measured at fair value.
For securities traded in active markets, this fair value was equal to the market price. Changes in fair value were recorded in other comprehensive income. If there was any evidence of a significant or long-lasting impairment loss, a loss was recorded in the statement of income. This impairment was irreversible.
For other securities, if the fair value was not reliably determinable, the securities were recorded at their historical value. |

Compensation for the administration and management bodies |
The aggregate amount of direct and indirect compensation accounted by the French and foreign affiliates of the Company, for all executive officers of TOTAL as of December 31, 2019 and for the members of the Board of Directors who are employees of the Group, is detailed below.
As of December 31, 2019, the main Group executive officers include the members of the Executive Committee and the four directors of the corporate functions members of the Group Performance Management Committee (Communication, Legal, Health, Safety and Environment, Investor relations), and the Group Treasurer.

(a) |
The benefits provided for executive officers of the Group and the members of the Board of Directors, who are employees of the Group, include severance to be paid upon retirement, supplementary pension schemes and insurance plans, which represent $113.3 million provisioned as of December 31, 2019 (against $117.0 million as of December 31, 2018 and $119.7 million as of December 31, 2017). |
The negative pension expense in 2019 is related to the application of the ordonnance 2019-697 impacting the supplementary defined benefit pension plan which benefit the employees of TOTAL S.A. whose reference salary exceeded on 4 July 2019 an amount equal to 8 times the annual ceiling for calculating French Social Security contributions (PASS). This ordonnance involves a freeze of the years of service of beneficiaries as of 31/12/2019, which generates a reversal of provision established priorly.
(b) |
Share-based payments expense computed for the executive officers and the members of the Board of Directors who are employees of the Group and based on the principles of IFRS 2 Share-based payments described in Note 9. The grant rate of the 2016 plan has been revised downwards, the level of achievement of the performance conditions having been lower than the estimates used in the previous year. |
The compensation allocated to members of the Board of Directors for directors fees totaled 1.4 million ($1.57 million) in 2019, 1.4 million ($1.65 million) in 2018 and 1.28 million ($1.44 million) in 2017.

Number of TOTAL shares
As of December 31, 2019, there is only one category of shares of TOTAL S.A. The shares have a par value of 2.50 and may be held in either registered or bearer form.
Double voting rights are assigned to shares that are fully-paid and held in registered form in the name of the same shareholder for at least two years, with due consideration for the total portion of the share capital represented. Double voting rights are also assigned, in the event of an increase in share capital by incorporation of reserves, profits or premiums, to registered shares granted for free to a shareholder due to shares already held that are entitled to this rights.
Pursuant to the Companys bylaws (Statutes), no shareholder may cast a vote at a Shareholders Meeting, either by himself or through an agent, representing more than 10% of the total voting rights for the Companys shares. This limit applies to the aggregated amount of voting rights held
directly, indirectly or through voting proxies. However, in the case of double voting rights, this limit may be extended to 20% of the total voting rights for the Companys shares.
These restrictions no longer apply if any individual or entity, acting alone or in concert, acquires at least two-thirds of the total share capital of the Company, directly or indirectly, following a public tender offer for all of the Companys shares.
The authorized share capital amounts to 3,593,399,547 shares as of December 31, 2019 compared to 3,669,077,772 shares as of December 31, 2018 and 3,434,245,369 shares as of December 31, 2017.

Capital increase reserved for Group employees
The Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of June 1, 2018, in its eighteenth resolution, granted the authority to the Board of Directors to carry out, a capital increase, in one or more occasions within a maximum period of twenty-six months, reserved to members (employees and retirees) of a company or group savings plan of the Company (ESOP).
In fiscal year 2019, the Board of Directors of September 18, 2019, by virtue of the eighteenth resolution above-mentioned, has decided to proceed with a capital increase reserved for Group employees
and retirees that included a classic offering and a leveraged offering depending on the employees or retirees choice, within the limit of 18 million shares with immediate dividend rights. The Board of Directors has granted all powers to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer to determine the opening and closing dates of the subscription period and the subscription price. This capital increase is expected to be completed after the General Meeting of May 29, 2020.
During the fiscal years 2017, 2018 and 2019, the Company completed the following ESOP, which terms are set out below:

Paid-in surplus
In accordance with French law, the paid-in surplus corresponds to premiums related to shares issuances, contributions or mergers of the parent company which can be capitalized or used to offset losses if the legal reserve has reached its minimum required level. The amount of the paid-in surplus may also be distributed subject to taxation except when it qualifie as a refund of shareholder contributions.
As of December 31, 2019, paid-in surplus relating to TOTAL S.A. amounted to 35,415 million (37,276 million as of December 31, 2018 and 32,882 million as of December 31, 2017).
Reserves
Under French law, 5% of net income must be transferred to the legal reserve until the legal reserve reaches 10% of the nominal value of the share capital. This reserve cannot be distributed to the shareholders other than upon liquidation but can be used to offset losses.
If wholly distributed, the unrestricted reserves of the parent company would be taxed for an approximate amount of $575 million as of December 31, 2019 ($607 million as of December 31, 2018 and $750 million as of December 31, 2017) due to additional corporation tax applied on regulatory reserves so that they become distributable.
Earnings per share
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (Group share) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding TOTAL shares held by TOTAL S.A. (Treasury shares) which are deducted from consolidated shareholders equity.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (Group share) by the fully-diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Treasury shares held by the parent company, TOTAL S.A. are deducted from consolidated shareholders equity. These shares are not considered outstanding for purposes of this calculation which also takes into account the dilutive effect of share subscription or purchase options plans, share grants and capital increases with a subscription period closing after the end of the fiscal year.
|
|
The weighted-average number of fully-diluted shares is calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method provided for by IAS 33. The proceeds, which would be recovered in the event of an exercise of rights related to dilutive instruments, are presumed to be a share buyback at the average market price over the period. The number of shares thereby obtained leads to a reduction in the total number of shares that would result from the exercise of rights.
In compliance with IAS 33, earnings per share and diluted earnings per share are based on the net income after deduction of the remuneration due to the holders of deeply subordinated notes. |

Earnings per share in euros
The earnings per share in euros, obtained from the earnings per share in dollars, converted by using the average exchange rate euro/dollar, is 3.75 per share for 2019 closing (3.62 for 2018 closing). The fully-diluted earnings per share calculated by using the same method is 3.72 per share for 2019 closing (3.59 for 2018 closing).
Dividend
As a reminder, the Board of Directors decided not to propose to the Shareholders Meeting, on May 29, 2019, the renewal of the scrip dividend option starting from the final dividend of the fiscal year 2018.
Therefore, TOTAL S.A. has paid the first and second, and will pay the third, interim dividends for the fiscal year 2019 in cash according to the below timetable.
Finally, on February 5, 2020, the Board of Directors, after approving the financial statements for the 2019 fiscal year, decided to propose to the Shareholders Meeting on May 29, 2020 the payment of a 2.68 dividend per share for the fiscal year 2019. Subject to the Shareholders decision, considering the first three interim dividends already decided by the Board of Directors, the final dividend for the fiscal year 2019 will be 0.68 per share, an increased amount of 3% to the first and second interim dividends and equal to the third interim dividend for the 2019 fiscal year.

In parallel with this issuance, the Group tendered perpetual subordinated notes issued in 2015 (tranche of which the coupon is 2.250%) for an amount of 1,500 million. Following this transaction, the new nominal amount of the tranche tendered is 1,000 million and the Groups total outstanding amount of perpetual subordinated notes remains unchanged.
In 2018 nor in 2017, the Group did not issue any perpetual subordinated notes.
In 2016, the Group issued three tranches of perpetual subordinated notes in euro through TOTAL S.A.:
|
deeply subordinated notes 3.875% perpetual maturity callable after 6 years (1,750 million); |
|
deeply subordinated notes 2.708% perpetual maturity callable after 6.6 years (1,000 million); |

In 2015, the Group issued two tranches of perpetual subordinated notes in euro through TOTAL S.A.:
|
deeply subordinated notes 2.250% perpetual maturity callable after 6 years (2,500 million); |
|
deeply subordinated notes 2.625% perpetual maturity callable after 10 years (2,500 million). |
Based on their characteristics (mainly no mandatory repayment and no obligation to pay a coupon except under certain circumstances specified into the documentation of the notes) and in compliance with
IAS 32 standard Financial instruments - Presentation, these notes were recorded in equity.
As of December 31, 2019, the amount of perpetual deeply subordinated notes booked in the Group shareholders equity is $10,333 million. The coupons attributable to the holders of these securities are recognized as a deduction from the Group shareholders equity for an amount of $353 million for fiscal year 2019 closing. The tax saving due to these coupons is booked in the statement of income.

Share-based payments |
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
||||
The Group may grant employees share subscription or purchase options plans and offer its employees the opportunity to subscribe to reserved capital increases. These employee benefits are recognized as expenses with a corresponding credit to shareholders equity.
The expense is equal to the fair value of the instruments granted. The expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period in which the advantages are acquired.
The fair value of the options is calculated using the Black-Scholes model at the grant date.
For restricted share plans, the fair value is calculated using the market price at the grant date after deducting the expected distribution rate during the vesting period. The global cost is reduced to take into account the non-transferability over a 2-year holding period of the shares that could be awarded. |
|
The number of allocated equity instruments can be revised during the vesting period in cases of non-compliance with performance conditions, with the exception of those related to the market, or according to the rate of turnover of the beneficiaries.
The cost of employee-reserved capital increases is immediately expensed.
The cost of the capital increase reserved for employees consists of the cost related to the discount on all the shares subscribed using both the classic and the leveraged schemes, and the opportunity gain for the shares subscribed using the leveraged scheme. This opportunity gain corresponds to the benefit of subscribing to the leveraged offer, rather than reproducing the same economic profile through the purchase of options in the market for individual investors. The global cost is reduced to take into account the non-transferability of the shares that could be subscribed by the employees over a period of five years.
|
A) TOTAL share subscription or purchase option plans
(a) |
The grant date is the date of the Board meeting awarding the share subscription or purchase options. |
(b) |
Out of the options canceled in 2017 2018 and 2019, (i) 195,370 options were early canceled or expired on September 15, 2017 due to expiry of 2009 plan, (ii) 79,139 options that were not exercised expired on September 14, 2018 due to expiry of 2010 plan and (iii) 1,000 options that were not exercised expired on September 14, 2019 due to expiry of 2011 plan. |
Options are exercisable, subject to a presence condition, after a 2-year period from the date of the Board meeting awarding the options and expire eight years after this date. The underlying shares cannot be transferred during four years from the date of grant. For the 2009 to 2011 Plans, the 4-year transfer restriction period does not apply to employees of non-French subsidiaries as of the date of the grant, who may transfer the underlying shares after a 2-year period from the date of the grant.
Since the 2011 Plan, the Board of Directors has not decided any new grant of TOTAL share subscription or purchase option plan and all the options issued prior to 2011 Plan have now expired.
In addition, the authorisation granted by the Combined General Meeting of May 24, 2016 to grant share subscription or purchase options for a period of thirty-eight months, has expired and has not been renewed.

The performance shares, which are bought back by the TOTAL S.A. on the market, are finally granted to their beneficiaries after a 3-year vesting period, from the date of the grant. The final grant is subject to a continued employment condition as well as one performance condition for the 2014 plan, two performance conditions for the 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 plans and three performance conditions for the 2019 Plan Moreover, the transfer of the performance shares finally granted will not be permitted until the end of a 2-year holding period from the date of the final grant.
2019 Plan
On March 13, 2019, the Board of Directors granted performance shares to certain employees and executive directors of the Company or Group companies, subject to the fulfilment of the continued employment condition and three performance conditions.
The presence condition applies to all shares.
The performance conditions apply for all shares granted to senior executives. The grant of the first 150 shares to non-senior executive are not subject to the performance condition abovementioned, but the performance conditions will apply to any shares granted above this threshold.
The definitive number of granted shares will be based on the TSR (Total Shareholder Return), the annual variation of the net cash flow by share in dollars, as well as the pre-dividend organic cash breakeven, for fiscal years 2019, 2020 and 2021, applied as follows:
|
for 1/3 of the shares, the Company will be ranked against its peers (ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, BP and Chevron) each year during the three vesting years (2019, 2020 and 2021) based on the TSR criterion of the last quarter of the year in question, the dividend being considered reinvested based on the closing price on the ex-dividend date. |
|
for 1/3 of the shares, the Company will be ranked each year against its peers (ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, BP and Chevron) during the three vesting years (2019, 2020 and 2021) using the annual variation in net cash flow per share criterion expressed in dollar. |
Based on the ranking, a grant rate will be determined for each year for these two first criteria:
Ranking | Grant rate | |
1st place | 180% | |
2nd place | 130% | |
3rd place | 80% | |
4th and 5th places | 0% |
|
for 1/3 of the shares, the pre-dividend organic cash breakeven criterion will be assessed during the three vesting years (2019, 2020 and 2021) as follows. The pre-dividend organic cash breakeven is defined as the Brent price for which the operating cash flow before working capital changes(1) covers the organic investments(2). The ability of the Group to resist to the variations of the Brent barrel price is measured by this parameter. |
|
the maximum grant rate will be reached if the breakeven is less than or equal to $30/b, |
|
the grant rate will be zero if the breakeven is greater than or equal to $40/b, |
|
the interpolations will be linear between these two points of reference. |
A grant rate will be determined for each year.
(1) |
The operating cash flow before working capital changes is defined as cash flow from operating activities before changes in capital at replacement cost. |
(2) |
Organic investments: net investments excluding acquisitions, asset sales and other operations with non-controlling interests. |

For each of the three criteria, the average of the three grant rates obtained (for each of the three fiscal years for which the performance conditions are assessed) will be rounded to the nearest 0.1 whole percent (0.05% being rounded to 0.1%) and capped at 100%.
Each criterion will have a weight of 1/3 in the definitive grant rate. The definitive grant rate will be rounded to the nearest 0.1 whole percent (0.05% being rounded to 0.1%). The number of shares definitively granted, after confirmation of the performance conditions, will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares in case of a fractional share.
C) SunPower plans
During fiscal 2019, SunPower had one stock incentive plan: the SunPower Corporation 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (2015 Plan). The 2015 Plan was adopted by the SunPowers Board of Directors in February 2015, and was approved by shareholders in June 2015. The 2015 Plan allows for the grant of options, as well as grant of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock grants, restricted stock units and other equity rights. The 2015 Plan also allows for tax withholding obligations related to stock option exercises or restricted stock awards to be satisfied through the retention of shares otherwise released upon vesting.
The 2015 Plan includes an automatic annual increase mechanism equal to the lower of three percent of the outstanding shares of all classes of the SunPowers common stock measured on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, 6 million shares, or such other number of shares as determined by SunPowers Board of Directors. In fiscal 2015, the SunPowers Board of Directors voted to reduce the
stock incentive plans automatic increase from 3% to 2% for 2016. As of December 31, 2019, approximately 12.1 million shares were available for grant under the 2015 Plan.
Incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, and stock appreciation rights may be granted at no less than the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant. The options and rights become exercisable when and as determined by SunPowers Board of Directors, although these terms generally do not exceed ten years for stock options. SunPower has not granted stock options since fiscal 2008. All previously granted stock options have been exercised or expired and accordingly no options remain outstanding. Under the 2015 Plan, the restricted stock grants and restricted stock units typically vest in equal installments annually over three or four years.
The majority of shares issued are net of the minimum statutory withholding requirements that SunPower pays on behalf of its employees. During fiscal 2019, 2018, and 2017, SunPower withheld 0.8 million, 0.7 million and 0.6 million shares, respectively, to satisfy the employees tax obligations. SunPower pays such withholding requirements in cash to the appropriate taxing authorities. Shares withheld are treated as common stock repurchases for accounting and disclosure purposes and reduce the number of shares outstanding upon vesting.
There were no options outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2019. The intrinsic value of the options exercised in fiscal 2019, 2018, and 2017 were zero, zero, and $1.7 respectively. There were no stock options granted in fiscal 2019, 2018, and 2017.

Employee benefits obligations |
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In accordance with the laws and practices of each country, the Group participates in employee benefit plans offering retirement, death and disability, healthcare and special termination benefits. These plans provide benefits based on various factors such as length of service, salaries, and contributions made to the governmental bodies responsible for the payment of benefits.
These plans can be either defined contribution or defined benefit pension plans and may be entirely or partially funded with investments made in various non-Group instruments such as mutual funds, insurance contracts, and other instruments.
For defined contribution plans, expenses correspond to the contributions paid.
|
Defined benefit obligations are determined according to the Projected Unit Method. Actuarial gains and losses may arise from differences between actuarial valuation and projected commitments (depending on new calculations or assumptions) and between projected and actual return of plan assets. Such gains and losses are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income, with no possibility to subsequently recycle them to the income statement.
The past service cost is recorded immediately in the statement of income, whether vested or unvested.
The net periodic pension cost is recognized under Other operating expenses.

Description of plans and risk management
The Group operates, for the benefit of its current and former employees, both defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans.
The Group recognized a charge of $133 million for defined contribution plans in 2019 ($130 million in 2018 and $128 million in 2017).
The Groups main defined benefit pension plans are located in France, the United Kingdom, the United States, Belgium and Germany. Their main characteristics, depending on the country-specific regulatory environment, are the following:
|
the benefits are usually based on the final salary and seniority; |
|
they are usually funded (pension fund or insurer); |
|
they are usually closed to new employees who benefit from defined contribution pension plans; |
|
they are paid in annuity or in lump sum. |
The pension benefits include also termination indemnities and early retirement benefits. The other benefits are employer contributions to post-employment medical care.
In order to manage the inherent risks, the Group has implemented a dedicated governance framework to ensure the supervision of the different plans. These governance rules provide for:
|
the Groups representation in key governance bodies or monitoring committees; |
|
the principles of the funding policy; |
|
the general investment policy, including for most plans the establishment of a monitoring committee to define and follow the investment strategy and performance and to ensure the principles in respect of investment allocation are respected; |
|
a procedure to approve the establishment of new plans or the amendment of existing plans; |
|
principles of administration, communication and reporting. |

11 Income taxes |
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Income taxes disclosed in the statement of income include the current tax expenses (or income) and the deferred tax expenses (or income).
The expense (or income) of current tax is the estimated amount of the tax due for the taxable income of the period.
The Group uses the method whereby deferred income taxes are recorded based on the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recorded in the balance sheet and their tax bases, and on carry-forwards of unused tax losses and tax credits. |
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date. The tax rates used depend on the timing of reversals of temporary differences, tax losses and other tax credits. The effect of a change in tax rate is recognized either in the Consolidated Statement of Income or in shareholders equity depending on the item it relates to.
Deferred tax resulting from temporary differences between the carrying amounts of equity-method investments and their tax bases are recognized. The deferred tax calculation is based on the expected future tax effect (dividend distribution rate or tax rate on capital gains).

The reserves of TOTAL subsidiaries that would be taxable if distributed but for which no distribution is planned, and for which no deferred tax liability has therefore been recognized, totaled $11,197 million as of December 31, 2019.
Deferred tax assets not recognized as of December 31, 2019 amount to $3,479 million as their future recovery was not regarded as probable given the expected results of the entities. Particularly in the Exploration & Production segment, when the affiliate or the field concerned is in its
exploration phase, the net operating losses created during this phase will be useable only if a final investment and development decision is made. Accordingly, the time limit for the utilization of those net operating losses is not known.
Deferred tax assets not recognized relate notably to France for an amount of $1,145 million, to United States for an amount of $319 million, to Nigeria for an amount of $303 million and to Canada for an amount of $206 million.

Provisions and other non-current liabilities |
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A provision is recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event for which it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required and when a reliable estimate can be made regarding the amount of the obligation. The
amount of the liability corresponds to the best possible estimate. Provisions and non-current liabilities are comprised of liabilities for which the amount and the timing are uncertain. They arise from environmental risks, legal and tax risks, litigation and other risks.

Changes in the asset retirement obligation
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Asset retirement obligations, which result from a legal or constructive obligation, are recognized based on a reasonable estimate in the period in which the obligation arises.
The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the underlying asset and depreciated over the useful life of this asset.
|
An entity is required to measure changes in the liability for an asset retirement obligation due to the passage of time (accretion) by applying a risk-free discount rate to the amount of the liability. Given the long term nature of expenditures related to our asset retirement obligations, the rate is determined on the USD area for a long-term horizon. The increase of the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as Other financial expense.
|
The discount rate used in 2019 for the valuation of asset retirement obligation is 4.5% as in 2018 and 2017 (the expenses are estimated at current currency values with an inflation rate of 2%). A decrease of 0.5% of this rate would increase the asset retirement obligation by $1,250 million,
with a corresponding impact in tangible assets, and with a negative impact of approximately $74 million on the following years net income. Conversely, an increase of 0.5% would have a nearly symmetrical impact compared to the effect of the decrease of 0.5%.

Fair value of financial instruments (excluding commodity contracts) |
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Group uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to risks of changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. These financial instruments are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 9, Changes in fair value of derivative instruments are recognized in the statement of income or in other comprehensive income and are recognized in the balance sheet in the accounts corresponding to their nature, according to the risk management strategy. The derivative instruments used by the Group are the following:
Cash management
Financial instruments used for cash management purposes are part of a hedging strategy of currency and interest rate risks within global limits set by the Group and are considered to be held for trading. Changes in fair value are systematically recorded in the statement of income. The balance sheet value of those instruments is included in Current financial assets or Other current financial liabilities.
Long-term financing
When an external long-term financing is set up, specifically to finance subsidiaries, and when this financing involves currency and interest rate derivatives, these instruments are qualified as:
1) Fair value hedge of the interest rate and currency risks on the external debt financing the loans to subsidiaries. Changes in fair value of derivatives are recognized in the statement of income, as are changes in fair value of underlying financial debts and loans to subsidiaries.
The fair value of those hedging instruments of long-term financing is included in assets under Non-current financial assets or in liabilities under Non-current financial debt for the non-current portion. The current portion (less than one year) is accounted for in Current financial assets or Other current financial liabilities.
In case of the anticipated termination of derivative instruments accounted for as fair value hedges, the amount paid or received is recognized in the statement of income and: if this termination is due to an early cancellation of the hedged items, the adjustment previously recorded as revaluation of those hedged items is also recognized in the statement of income; if the hedged items remain in the balance sheet, the adjustment previously recorded as a revaluation of those hedged items is spread over the remaining life of those items.
In case of a change in the strategy of the hedge (fair value hedge to cash flow hedge), if the components of the initial aggregated exposure had already been designated in a hedging relationship (FVH), the Group designates the new instrument as a hedging instrument of an aggregated position (CFH) without having to end the initial hedging relationship.
|
2) Cash flow hedge when the Group implements a strategy of fixing interest rate and/or currency rate on the external debt. Changes in fair value are recorded in Other comprehensive Income for the effective portion of the hedging and in the statement of income for the ineffective portion of the hedging. When the hedged transaction affects profit or loss, the fair value variations of the hedging instrument recorded in equity are also symmetrically recycled to the income statement.
The fair value of those hedging instruments of long-term financing is included in assets under Non-current financial assets or in liabilities under Non-current financial debt for the non-current portion. The current portion (less than one year) is accounted for in Current financial assets or Other current financial liabilities.
If the hedging instrument expires, is sold or terminated by anticipation, gains or losses previously recognized in equity remain in equity. Amounts are recycled to the income statement only when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss.
3) In compliance with IFRS9, the Group has decided to recognize in a separate component of the comprehensive income the variation of foreign currency basis spread (Cross Currency Swaps) identified in the hedging relationships qualified as fair value hedges and cash flow hedges.
Foreign subsidiaries equity hedge
Certain financial instruments hedge against risks related to the equity of foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the euro (mainly the dollar). These instruments qualify as net investment hedges and changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income under Currency translation for the effective portion of the hedging and in the statement of income for the ineffective portion of the hedging. Gains or losses on hedging instruments previously recorded in equity, are reclassified to the statement of income in the same period as the total or partial disposal of the foreign activity.
The fair value of these instruments is recorded under Current financial assets or Other current financial liabilities.
Commitments to purchase shares held by non-controlling interests (put options written on minority interests)
Put options granted to non-controlling-interest shareholders are initially recognized as financial liabilities at the present value of the exercise price of the options with a corresponding reduction in shareholders equity. The financial liability is subsequently measured at fair value at each balance sheet date in accordance with contractual clauses and any variation is recorded in the statement of income (cost of debt). |

A) Impact on the statement of income per nature of financial instruments
Assets and liabilities from financing activities
The impact on the statement of income of financing assets and liabilities mainly includes:
|
financial income on cash, cash equivalents, and current financial assets (notably current deposits beyond three months) classified as Loans and receivables; |
|
financial expense of long-term subsidiaries financing, associated hedging instruments (excluding ineffective portion of the hedge detailed below) and financial expense of short-term financing classified as Financing liabilities and associated hedging instruments; |
|
ineffective portion of bond hedging; |
|
financial income and financial expense on lease contracts for 2019 (IFRS 16 first application) and, |
|
financial income, financial expense and fair value of derivative instruments used for cash management purposes classified as Assets and liabilities held for trading. |
Financial derivative instruments used for cash management purposes (interest rate and foreign exchange) are considered to be held for trading. Based on practical documentation issues, the Group did not elect to set up hedge accounting for such instruments. The impact on income of the derivatives is offset by the impact of loans and current liabilities they are related to. Therefore these transactions taken as a whole do not have a significant impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

D) Fair value hierarchy
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Fair values are estimated for the majority of the Groups financial instruments, with the exception of publicly traded equity securities and marketable securities for which the market price is used.
Estimations of fair value, which are based on principles such as discounting future cash flows to present value, must be weighted by the fact that the value of a financial instrument at a given time may be influenced by the market environment (liquidity especially), and also the fact that subsequent changes in interest rates and exchange rates are not taken into account.
As a consequence, the use of different estimates, methodologies and assumptions could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. |
The methods used are as follows:
Financial debts, swaps
The market value of swaps and of bonds that are hedged by those swaps has been determined on an individual basis by discounting future cash flows with the market curves existing at year-end.
Other financial instruments
The fair value of the interest rate swaps and of FRAs (Forward Rate Agreements) are calculated by discounting future cash flows on the basis of market curves existing at year-end after adjustment for interest accrued but unpaid. Forward exchange contracts and currency swaps are valued on the basis of a comparison of the negotiated forward rates with the rates in effect on the financial markets at year-end for similar maturities.
Exchange options are valued based on models commonly used by the market.

Financial risks management |
Financial markets related risks
As part of its financing and cash management activities, the Group uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. These instruments are mainly interest rate and currency swaps. The Group may also occasionally use futures contracts and options. These operations and their accounting treatment are detailed in Notes 14, 15.1 and 15.2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Risks relative to cash management operations and to interest rate and foreign exchange financial instruments are managed according to rules set by the Groups senior management, which provide for regular pooling of available cash balances, open positions and management of the financial instruments by the Treasury Department. Excess cash of the Group is deposited mainly in government institutions, deposit banks, or major companies through deposits, reverse repurchase agreements and purchase of commercial paper. Liquidity positions and the management of financial instruments are centralized by the Treasury Department, where they are managed by a team specialized in foreign exchange and interest rate market transactions.
The Cash Monitoring-Management Unit within the Treasury Department monitors limits and positions per bank on a daily basis and results of the Front Office. This unit also prepares marked-to-market valuations of used financial instruments and, when necessary, performs sensitivity analysis.
Counterparty risk
The Group has established standards for market transactions under which any banking counterparty must be approved in advance, based on an assessment of the counterpartys financial solidity (multi-criteria analysis including notably a review of its Credit Default Swap (CDS) level, credit ratings from Standard & Poors and Moodys, which must be of high standing, and general financial situation).
An overall credit limit is set for each authorised financial counterparty and is allocated amongst the affiliates and the Groups central treasury entities, according to the Groups financial needs.
To reduce the market valuation risk on its commitments, in particular relating to derivative instruments, the Treasury Department has entered into margin call agreements with its counterparties, in compliance with applicable regulations. Moreover, since December 21, 2018 and pursuant to Regulation (EU) No. 648/2012 on OTC derivatives, central counterparties and trade repositories (EMIR), any new interest rate hedging swap (excluding cross currency swaps) entered into by a Groups entity is now subject to central clearing.

Short-term interest rate exposure and cash
Cash balances, which are primarily composed of euros and dollars, are managed according to the guidelines established by the Groups senior management (to maintain an adequate level of liquidity, optimize revenue from investments considering existing interest rate yield curves, and minimize the cost of borrowing) over a less than twelve-month horizon and on the basis of a daily interest rate benchmark, primarily through short-term interest rate swaps and short-term currency swaps, without modifying currency exposure.
Interest rate risk on non-current debt
The Groups policy consists in incurring long-term debt at a floating or fixed rate, depending on the Groups general corporate needs and the interest rate environment at the time of issue, mainly in dollars or euros. Long-term interest rate and currency swaps may be entered into for the purpose of hedging bonds at the time of issuance, synthetically resuting in the incurrence of variable or fixed rate debt. In order to partially alter the interest rate exposure of its long-term indebtedness, TOTAL may also enter into long-term interest rate swaps on an ad-hoc basis.
Currency exposure
The Group generally seeks to minimize the currency exposure of each entity to its functional currency (primarily the dollar, the euro, the pound sterling and the Norwegian krone).
For currency exposure generated by commercial activity, the hedging of revenues and costs in foreign currencies is typically performed using currency operations on the spot market and, in some cases, on the forward market. The Group rarely hedges future cash flows, although it may use options to do so.
With respect to currency exposure linked to non-current assets, the Group has a hedging policy of financing these assets in their functional currency.
Net short-term currency exposure is periodically monitored against limits set by the Groups senior management.
The non-current debt described in Note 15.1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements is generally raised by the corporate treasury entities either directly in dollars or in euros, or in other currencies which are then exchanged for dollars or euros through swap issues to appropriately match general corporate needs. The proceeds from these debt issuances are loaned to affiliates whose accounts are kept in dollars or in euros. Thus, the net sensitivity of these positions to currency exposure is not significant.
The Groups short-term currency swaps, the notional value of which appears in Note 15.2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, are used to attempt to optimize the centralized cash management of the Group. Thus, the sensitivity to currency fluctuations which may be induced is likewise considered negligible.
Sensitivity analysis on interest rate and foreign exchange risk
The tables below present the potential impact of an increase or decrease of 10 basis points on the interest rate yield curves for each of the currencies on the fair value of the current financial instruments as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.

As a result of the policy for the management of currency exposure previously described, the Groups sensitivity to currency exposure is primarily influenced by the net equity of the subsidiaries whose functional currency is the euro and the ruble, and to a lesser extent, the pound sterling and the Norwegian krone.
This sensitivity is reflected in the historical evolution of the currency translation adjustment recorded in the statement of changes in consolidated shareholders equity which, over the course of the last three years, is essentially related to the fluctuation of the euro, the ruble and the pound sterling and is set forth in the table below:

Stock market risk
The Group holds interests in a number of publicly-traded companies (see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The market value of these holdings fluctuates due to various factors, including stock market trends, valuations of the sectors in which the companies operate, and the economic and financial condition of each individual company.
Liquidity risk
TOTAL S.A. has committed credit facilities granted by international banks allowing it to benefit from significant liquidity reserves.
As of December 31, 2019, these credit facilities amounted to $11,585 million, of which $11,585 million was unutilized. The agreements
underpinning credit facilities granted to TOTAL S.A. do not contain conditions related to the Companys financial ratios, to its credit ratings from specialized agencies, or to the occurrence of events that could have a material adverse effect on its financial position. As of December 31, 2019,the aggregated amount of the main committed credit facilities granted by international banks to the Groups companies, including TOTAL S.A., was $12,961 million, of which $12,406 million was unutilized. Credit facilities granted to the Groups companies other than TOTAL S.A. are not intended to fund the Groups general corporate purposes; they are intended to fund either general corporate purposes of the borrowing affiliate, or a specific project.
The following tables show the maturity of the financial assets and liabilities of the Group as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 (see 15.1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Credit risk
Credit risk is defined as the risk of the counterparty to a contract failing to perform or pay the amounts due.
The Group is exposed to credit risks in its operating and financing activities. The Groups maximum exposure to credit risk is partially related to financial assets recorded on its balance sheet, including energy derivative instruments that have a positive market value.
The following table presents the Groups maximum credit risk exposure:

The valuation allowance on accounts receivable, other operating receivables and on loans and advances is detailed in Notes 5 and 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
As part of its credit risk management related to operating and financing activities, the Group has developed margining agreements with certain counterparties. As of December 31, 2019, the net margin call paid amounted to $2,486 million (against $2,581 million paid as of December 31, 2018 and $870 million paid as of December 31, 2017).
The Group has established a number of programs for the sale of receivables, without recourse, with various banks, primarily to reduce its exposure to such receivables. As a result of these programs the Group retains no risk of payment default after the sale, but may continue to service the customer accounts as part of a service arrangement on behalf of the buyer and is required to pay to the buyer payments it receives from the customers relating to the receivables sold. As of December 31, 2019, the net value of receivables sold amounted to $8,129 million. The Group has substantially transferred all the risks and rewards related to receivables. No financial asset or liability remains recognized in the consolidated balance sheet after the date of sale. Furthermore, in 2019 the Group conducted several operations of reverse factoring for a value of $177 million.
Credit risk is managed by the Groups business segments as follows:
|
Exploration & Production segment |
Risks arising under contracts with government authorities or other oil companies or under long-term supply contracts necessary for the development of projects are evaluated during the project approval process. The long-term aspect of these contracts and the high-quality of the other parties lead to a low level of credit risk.
Risks related to commercial operations, other than those described above (which are, in practice, directly monitored by subsidiaries), are subject to procedures for establishing credit limits and reviewing outstanding balances.
|
Integrated Gas, Renewables & Power segment |
|
Gas & Power activities |
Trading Gas & Power activities deal with counterparties in the energy, industrial and financial sectors throughout the world. Financial institutions providing credit risk coverage are highly rated international banks and insurance groups.
Potential counterparties are subject to credit assessment and approval before concluding transactions and are thereafter subject to regular review, including re-appraisal and approval of the limits previously granted.

The creditworthiness of counterparties is assessed based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative data regarding financial standing and business risks, together with the review of any relevant third party and market information, such as data published by rating agencies. On this basis, credit limits are defined for each potential counterparty and, where appropriate, transactions are subject to specific authorizations.
Credit exposure, which is essentially an economic exposure or an expected future physical exposure, is permanently monitored and subject to sensitivity measures.
Credit risk is mitigated by the systematic use of industry standard contractual frameworks that permit netting, enable requiring added security in case of adverse change in the counterparty risk, and allow for termination of the contract upon occurrence of certain events of default.
About the Professionals and Retail Gas and Power Sales activities, credit risk management policy is adapted to the type of customer either through the use of procedures of prepayments and appropriate collection, especially for mass customers or through credit insurances and sureties/guarantees obtaining. For the Professionals segment, the segregation of duties between the commercial and financial teams allows an a priori control of risks.
|
Renewables and Carbon Neutrality Business (CNB) |
Internal procedures for the Renewables division and the Carbon Neutrality Business division include rules on credit risk management. Procedures to monitor customer risk are defined at the local level, especially for SunPower, Saft and Greenflex (rules for the approval of credit limits, use of guarantees, monitoring and assessment of the receivables portfolio,...).
|
Refining & Chemicals segment |
|
Refining & Chemicals |
Credit risk is primarily related to commercial receivables. Internal procedures of Refining & Chemicals include rules for the management of credit describing the fundamentals of internal control in this domain. Each Business Unit implements the procedures of the activity for managing and provisioning credit risk according to the size of the subsidiary and the market in which it operates. The principal elements of these procedures are:
|
implementation of credit limits with different authorization schemes; |
|
use of insurance policies or specific guarantees (letters of credit); |
|
regular monitoring and assessment of overdue accounts (aging balance), including dunning procedures. |
Counterparties are subject to credit assessment and approval prior to any transaction being concluded. Regular reviews are made for all active counterparties including a re-appraisal and renewing of the granted credit limits. The limits of the counterparties are assessed based on quantitative and qualitative data regarding financial standing, together
with the review of any relevant third party and market information, such as that provided by rating agencies and insurance companies.
|
Trading & Shipping |
Trading & Shipping deals with commercial counterparties and financial institutions located throughout the world. Counterparties to physical and derivative transactions are primarily entities involved in the oil and gas industry or in the trading of energy commodities, or financial institutions. Credit risk coverage is arranged with financial institutions, international banks and insurance groups selected in accordance with strict criteria.
The Trading & Shipping division applies a strict policy of internal delegation of authority in order to set up credit limits by country and courparty and approval processes for specific transactions. Credit exposures contracted under these limits and approvals are monitored on a daily basis.
Potential counterparties are subject to credit assessment and approval prior to any transaction being concluded and all active counterparties are subject to regular reviews, including re-appraisal and approval of granted limits. The creditworthiness of counterparties is assessed based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative data regarding financial standing and business risks, together with the review of any relevant third party and market information, such as ratings published by Standard & Poors, Moodys Investors Service and other agencies.
Contractual arrangements are structured so as to maximize the risk mitigation benefits of netting between transactions wherever possible and additional protective terms providing for the provision of security in the event of financial deterioration and the termination of transactions on the occurrence of defined default events are used to the greatest permitted extent.
Credit risks in excess of approved levels are secured by means of letters of credit and other guarantees, cash deposits and insurance arrangements. In respect of derivative transactions, risks are secured by margin call contracts wherever possible.
|
Marketing & Services segment |
Internal procedures for the Marketing & Services division include rules on credit risk that describe the basis of internal control in this domain, including the separation of authority between commercial and financial operations.
Credit policies are defined at the local level and procedures to monitor customer risk are implemented (credit committees at the subsidiary level, the creation of credit limits for corporate customers, etc.). Each entity also implements monitoring of its outstanding receivables. Risks related to credit may be mitigated or limited by subscription of credit insurance and/or requiring security or guarantees.

Financial instruments related to commodity contracts |
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
||||
Financial instruments related to commodity contracts, including crude oil, petroleum products, gas, and power purchase/sales contracts within the trading activities, together with the commodity contract derivative instruments such as energy contracts and forward freight agreements, are used to adjust the Groups exposure to price fluctuations within global trading limits. According to the industry practice, these instruments are considered as held for trading. Changes in fair value are recorded in the statement of income. The fair value of these instruments is recorded in Other current assets or Other creditors and accrued liabilities depending on whether they are assets or liabilities.
|
|
The valuation methodology is to mark-to-market all open positions for both physical and paper transactions. The valuations are determined on a daily basis using observable market data based on organized and over the counter (OTC) markets. In particular cases when market data is not directly available, the valuations are derived from observable data such as arbitrages, freight or spreads and market corroboration. For valuation of risks which are the result of a calculation, such as options for example, commonly known models are used to compute the fair value. |
(a) |
Forwards: contracts resulting in physical delivery are accounted for as derivative commodity contracts and included in the amounts shown. |
(b) |
When the fair value of derivatives listed on an organized exchange market (futures, options on futures and swaps) is offset with the margin call received or paid in the balance sheet, this fair value is set to zero. |
(c) |
Amounts offset in accordance with IAS 32. |

Financial instruments classified as level 3 are mainly composed of long-term liquefied natural gas purchase and sale contracts which relate to the trading activity.
For the purpose of valuation and accounting of LNG contracts, the Group refers to the active management horizon for trading positions which corresponds to 12 months in 2019 compared to 2 years in 2018, considering the observed changes of the market. Indeed, the growing and increasingly liquid LNG market is moving towards a commodities market with a shorter management horizon. The management of positions being carried out on a net value of LNG purchase and sale commitments, the applied valuation method is the contracts portfolio method based mostly on observable market data such as the prices of energy raw materials forward contracts.
Concerning the period beyond the management horizon, a sensitivity analysis is carried out to verify that no liability should be recognized. The assumptions used are based on internal assumptions such as the prices in the Groups strategic plan, price renegotiation clauses included in long-term contracts, uncertainties related to contracts execution and flexibilities included in LNG contracts.
The valuation method of the portfolio of LNG contracts is sensitive to market risks, and more specifically to price risk resulting from the volatility of oil and natural gas prices on the North American, Asian, and European markets, and to the valuation of flexibilities.
The description of each fair value level is presented in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Oil, Gas and Power market related risks management |
Due to the nature of its business, the Group has significant oil and gas trading activities as part of its day-to-day operations in order to optimize revenues from its oil and gas production and to obtain favorable pricing to supply its refineries.
In its international oil trading business, the Group follows a policy of not selling its future production. However, in connection with this trading business, the Group, like most other oil companies, uses energy derivative instruments to adjust its exposure to price fluctuations of crude oil, refined products, natural gas, and power. The Group also uses freight rate derivative contracts in its shipping business to adjust its exposure to freight-rate fluctuations. To hedge against this risk, the Group uses various instruments such as futures, forwards, swaps and options on organized markets or over-the-counter markets. The list of the different derivatives held by the Group in these markets is detailed in Note 16.1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Trading & Shipping division measures its market risk exposure, i.e. potential loss in fair values, on its crude oil, refined products and freight rates trading activities using a value-at-risk technique. This technique is based on an historical model and makes an assessment of the market risk arising from possible future changes in market values over a 24-hour period. The calculation of the range of potential changes in fair values is based on the end-of-day exposures and historical price movements of the last 400 business days for all traded instruments and maturities. Options are systematically re-evaluated using appropriate models.
The value-at-risk represents the most unfavorable movement in fair value obtained with a 97.5% confidence level. This means that the Groups portfolio result is likely to exceed the value-at-risk loss measure once over 40 business days if the portfolio exposures were left unchanged.

As part of its gas and power trading activity, the Group also uses derivative instruments such as futures, forwards, swaps and options in both organized and over-the-counter markets. In general, the transactions are settled at maturity date through physical delivery. The Gas division measures its market risk exposure, i.e. potential loss in fair values, on its trading business using a value-at-risk technique. This technique is based on an historical model and makes an assessment
of the market risk arising from possible future changes in market values over a one-day period. The calculation of the range of potential changes in fair values takes into account a snapshot of the end-of-day exposures and the set of historical price movements for the past two years for all instruments and maturities in the global trading business.

The Group has implemented strict policies and procedures to manage and monitor these market risks. These are based on the separation of control and front-office functions and on an integrated information system that enables real-time monitoring of trading activities.
Limits on trading positions are approved by the Groups Executive Committee and are monitored daily. To increase flexibility and encourage liquidity, hedging operations are performed with numerous independent operators, including other oil companies, major energy producers or consumers and financial institutions. The Group has established counterparty limits and monitors outstanding amounts with each counterparty on an ongoing basis.

Supplemental oil and gas information (unaudited)

9.1 |
Oil and gas information pursuant to FASB Accounting Standards Codification 932 |
Proved reserves estimates are calculated according to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 4-10 of Regulation S-X set forth in the Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting release (SEC Release
n° 33-8995) and the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update regarding Extractive Activities Oil and Gas (ASC 932), which provide definitions and disclosure requirements.
9.1.1 |
Assessment process for reserves |
Reserves estimations are performed by experienced geoscientists, engineers and economists under the supervision of each subsidiarys General Management. Staff involved in reserves evaluation are trained to follow SEC-compliant internal guidelines and policies regarding criteria that must be met before reserves can be considered as proved. All of the Groups proved reserves held in subsidiaries and equity affiliates are estimated within the affiliates of the Group with the exception of the proved reserves held by the equity affiliate PAO Novatek. The assessment of the net proved liquids and natural gas reserves of certain properties owned by PAO Novatek was completed as of December 31, 2019, in accordance with the standards applied by the Group, based on an independent third-party report from DeGolyer & MacNaughton. These independently assessed reserves account for 44% of the total net proved reserves TOTAL held in Russia as of December 31, 2019.
The technical validation process relies on a Technical Reserves Committee that is responsible for approving proved reserves variations above a certain threshold and technical evaluations of reserves associated with an investment decision that requires approval from the Exploration & Production Executive Committee. The Chairman of the Technical Reserves Committee is appointed by the Senior Management of Exploration & Production and its members have expertise in reservoir engineering, production geology, production geophysics, reserves methodology, drilling and development studies.
An internal control process related to reserves estimation is formalized and involves the following elements:
|
a central Reserves Entity the responsibility of which is: to consolidate, document and archive the Groups reserves; to ensure coherence of evaluations worldwide; to maintain the Corporate Reserves Guidelines Standards in line with SEC guidelines and policies; to deliver training on reserves evaluation and classification; and to conduct periodically in-depth technical review of reserves for each affiliate; |
|
a review of affiliate reserves conducted by an internal group of specialists selected for their expertise in geosciences and engineering and their knowledge of the affiliate. All members of this group, chaired by the Reserves Vice-President (RVP) of the Development and Support to Operations division and composed of at least three Technical Reserves Committee members, are knowledgeable in the SEC guidelines for proved reserves evaluation. Their responsibility is to provide an independent review of significant reserves changes proposed by affiliates and ensure that reserves are estimated using appropriate standards and procedures; |
|
at the end of the annual review carried out by the Development and Support to Operations division, a SEC Reserves Committee chaired by the Exploration & Production Senior Vice President Finance and Economics and comprised of the Development and Support to Operations and Strategy-Business Development-R&D Senior Vice Presidents, and the Finance and Legal Vice Presidents as well as the Chairman of the Technical Reserves Committee and the RVP, approves the elements of the SEC reserve booking proposals concerning criteria that are not dependent upon technical expertise (reservoir, geosciences, etc.). The results of the annual review and the proposals for including revisions or additions of SEC Proved Reserves are presented to the Exploration & Production Executive Committee for approval before final validation by the Groups General Management and Chief Financial Officer. |
The reserves evaluation and control process is audited periodically by the Groups internal auditors.
The RVP of the Development and Support to Operations division is the technical person responsible for preparing the reserves estimates for the Group. Appointed by the President of Exploration & Production, the RVP supervises the Reserves Entity, chairs the annual review of reserves, and is a member of the Technical Reserves Committee and the SEC Reserves Committee. The current RVP has over 25 years of experience in the oil and gas industry. He previously held several management positions in the Group in reservoir engineering and geosciences, and in the field of reserves evaluation and control process. He holds an engineering degree from École Centrale Paris, France, and a petroleum engineering degree from IFP School, France. He is a member of the UNECE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe) Expert Group on Resource Classification, and an active member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers.
9.1.2 |
Proved developed reserves |
As of December 31, 2019, proved developed reserves of hydrocarbons (oil, bitumen and gas) were 8,532 Mboe and represented 67% of the proved reserves. As of December 31, 2018, proved developed reserves of hydrocarbons (oil, bitumen and gas) were 8,400 Mboe and represented 70% of the proved reserves. As of December 31, 2017,
proved developed reserves of hydrocarbons (oil, bitumen and gas) were 7,010 Mboe and represented 61% of the proved reserves. Over the past three years, the average of proved developed reserves renewal has remained well above 1,300 Mboe per year.

9.1.3 |
Proved undeveloped reserves |
As of December 31, 2019, TOTALs combined proved undeveloped reserves (PUDs) of oil and gas were 4,149 Mboe compared to 3,650 Mboe at the end of 2018.
The variation is due to -826 Mboe converted from PUDs to proved developed reserves and to +223 Mboe revisions of previous estimates, mainly in the United Arab Emirates; and concerning the variations of PUDs not included in opening balance, +675 Mboe related to extensions and discoveries, mainly in Russia, +441 Mboe from acquisitions mainly in Mozambique and -14 Mboe converted from PUDs to proved developed reserves.
In 2019, out of 826 Mboe converted from PUDs to proved developed reserves, 571 Mboe of PUDs were converted to proved developed within the scope of development activity on 6 main fields, Yamal LNG (Russia) and Kashagan (Kazakhstan), the start up of Culzean (United Kingdom), Johan Sverdrup (Norway), Kaombo Sul (Angola) and North Russkoye (Russia) and 255 Mboe on various other fields. These developments confirm once again the Groups ability to develop and bring into production large scale and complex projects.
In 2019, the costs incurred to develop proved undeveloped reserves were $6.8 billion, which represented 75% of 2019 development costs incurred, and were related to projects located for the most part in Angola, Norway, United Kingdom, Nigeria, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, Russia and Australia.
The Groups PUDs that may remain undeveloped for five years or more after first disclosure (PUD5+) correspond to the remaining PUD on large scale and complex development projects and to field development projects the implementation of which is dependent on capacity constraints.
Indeed, although the Group has converted significant amount of reserves associated to large scale and complex projects from PUD5+ into developed reserves in the last years, those projects still hold PUD5+ that are expected to be developed over time as part of initial field development plans or additional development phases.
In addition, some projects are designed and optimized for a given production capacity that controls the pace at which the field is developed and the wells are drilled. At production start-up, only a portion of the proved reserves is developed to meet capacity constraints and contractual obligations.
Under these specific circumstances, the Group believes that it is justified to report those PUDs as proved reserves, despite the fact that some of these PUDs may remain undeveloped for more than five years.
9.1.4 |
Estimated proved reserves of oil, bitumen and gas |
The following tables present, for oil, bitumen and gas reserves, an estimate of the Groups oil, bitumen and gas quantities by geographic areas as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.
Quantities shown correspond to proved developed and undeveloped reserves together with changes in quantities for 2019, 2018 and 2017.
The definitions used for proved, proved developed and proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves are in accordance with the revised Rule 4-10 of SEC Regulation S-X.
All references in the following tables to reserves or production are to the Groups entire share of such reserves or production. TOTALs worldwide proved reserves include the proved reserves of its consolidated subsidiaries as well as its proportionate share of the proved reserves of equity affiliates.
Significant changes in proved reserves between 2018 and 2019 are discussed below.
For consolidated subsidiaries, the revisions of +494 Mboe for the year 2019 were due to:
|
+524 Mboe due to new information obtained from drilling and production history mainly in the United Arab Emirates, Angola and Norway; |
|
-30 Mboe due to economic factors as a result of lower yearly average hydrocarbon prices, including an earlier economic limit on a number of assets, partly compensated by higher entitlement share from production sharing and risked service contracts. |
The extensions in the Americas correspond mainly to recognition of proved reserves in the United States.
For equity affiliates, the revisions of +88 Mboe for the year 2019 were mainly due to new information obtained from drilling and production history in Russia.
The extensions in Russia correspond mainly to recognition of reserves on Arctic LNG 2.

9.1.8 |
Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows (excluding transportation) |
The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserve quantities was developed as follows:
|
estimates of proved reserves and the corresponding production profiles are based on existing technical and economic conditions; |
|
the estimated future cash flows are determined based on prices used in estimating the Groups proved oil and gas reserves; |
|
the future cash flows incorporate estimated production costs (including production taxes), future development costs and asset retirement costs. All cost estimates are based on year-end technical and economic conditions; |
|
future income taxes are computed by applying the year-end statutory tax rate to future net cash flows after consideration of permanent differences and future income tax credits; and |
|
future net cash flows are discounted at a standard discount rate of 10%. |
These principles applied are those required by ASC 932 and do not reflect the expectations of real revenues from these reserves, nor their present value; hence, they do not constitute criteria for investment decisions. An estimate of the fair value of reserves should also take into account, among other things, the recovery of reserves not presently classified as proved, anticipated future changes in prices and costs and a discount factor more representative of the time value of money and the risks inherent in reserves estimates.

The volumes used for calculation of the average sales prices are the ones sold from the Groups own production. |
(b) |
The reported price represents an average aggregate price of prices for crude oil, condensates and NGL. The table does not include separate figures for NGL production prices because the production of NGL represented less than 7.5% of the Groups total liquids production in each of the years 2017, 2018 and 2019. |

9.3 |
Report on the payments made to governments (Article L. 225-102-3 of the French Commercial Code) |
Article L. 225-102-3 of the French Commercial Code(1) requires large undertakings and public-interest entities that are active in the extractive industry or logging of primary forests to disclose in an annual report payments of at least 100,000 euros made to governments in the countries in which they operate.
The consolidated report of TOTAL is presented below pursuant to the aforementioned provisions. This report covers the aforementioned payments made by the Groups extractive companies as defined below, for the benefit of each government of states or territories in which TOTAL carries out its activities, by detailing the total amount of payments made, the total amount by payment type, the total amount by project and the total amount by payment type for each project. When payments were made in kind, valuated hydrocarbons volumes are specified.
This report has been approved by the Board of Directors of TOTAL S.A.
Definitions
The meaning of certain terms used in this report are set forth below:
Extractive Companies: TOTAL S.A. and any company of undertaking of which the activities consist, in whole or in part, of exploration, prospection, discovery, development and extraction of minerals, crude oil and natural gas, among others, fully consolidated by TOTAL S.A.
Payment: a single payment of multiple interconnected payments of an amount equal to, or in excess of, 100,000 euros (or its equivalent) paid, whether in money or in kind, for extractive activities.
Payment types included in this report are the following:
|
Taxes: taxes and levies paid on income, production or profits, excluding taxes levied on consumption such as added value taxes, customs duties, personal income taxes and sales taxes. |
|
Royalties: percentage of production payable to the owner of mineral rights. |
|
License Fees: license fees, surface or rental fees, and other consideration for licenses and /or concessions that are paid for access to the area where the extractive activities will be conducted. |
|
License bonus: bonuses paid for and in consideration of signature, discovery, production, awards, grants and transfers of extraction rights; bonuses related to the achievement or failure to achieve certain production levels or certain targets, and discovery of additional mineral reserves /deposits. |
|
Dividends: dividends paid to a host government holding an interest in an Extractive Company. |
|
Payments for Infrastructure Improvements: payments for local development, including the improvement of infrastructure, not directly necessary for the conduct of extractive activities but mandatory pursuant to the terms of a production sharing contract or to the terms of a law relating to oil and gas activities. |
|
Production entitlement: host Governments share of production. This payment is generally made in kind. |
Government: any national, regional or local authority of a country or territory, or any department, agency or undertaking controlled by that authority.
Project: operational activities governed by a single contract, license, lease, concession or similar legal agreement and that form the basis for payment liabilities with a Government. If multiple such agreements are substantially interconnected, they shall be considered as a single Project. Payments (such as company income tax when it concerns several projects which cannot be separated in application of the fiscal regulations) unable to be attributed to a Project are disclosed under the item non-attributable.
Reporting principles
This report sets forth all payments as booked in the Extractive Companies accounts. They are presented based on the Group share in each Project, whether the payments have been made directly by the Group Extractive Companies as operator or indirectly through third-party operating companies.
Production entitlement and Royalties that are mandatorily paid in kind and that are owed to host Governments pursuant to legal or contractual provisions (not booked in the Extractive Companies accounts pursuant to accounting standards) are reported in proportion of the interest held by the Extractive Company in the Project as of the date on which such Production entitlements and Royalties are deemed to be acquired.
Payments in kind are estimated at fair value. Fair value corresponds to the contractual price of hydrocarbons used to calculate Production entitlement, market price (if available) or an appropriate benchmark price. These prices might be calculated on an averaged basis over a given period.

effect of changes in fair value
The effect of changes in fair value presented as an adjustment item reflects, for some transactions, differences between internal measures of performance used by TOTALs Executive Committee and the accounting for these transactions under IFRS. IFRS requires that trading inventories be recorded at their fair value using period-end spot prices. In order to best reflect the management of economic exposure through derivative transactions, internal indicators used to measure performance include valuations of trading inventories based on forward prices. Furthermore, TOTAL, in its trading activities, enters into storage contracts, the future effects of which are recorded at fair value in the Groups internal economic performance. IFRS precludes recognition of this fair value effect.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to your request, this report of third party presents an independent evaluation, as of December 31, 2019, of the extent of the estimated proved oil, condensate, and gas reserves of certain fields attributable to or controlled by PAO NOVATEK (NOVATEK). The fields are either wholly held by NOVATEK or controlled by NOVATEK through its subsidiary enterprise (OOO YARGEO (YARGEO)) or through one of its joint ventures (AO ARCTIC GAS COMPANY (ARCTICGAS) or ZAO Northgas (Northgas)). TOTAL S.A. (TOTAL) has represented that it holds approximately 19.40-percent ownership interest in NOVATEK through its wholly owned subsidiary, TOTAL EP Russia. This evaluation was completed on January 17, 2020. NOVATEK has represented that its ownership interests in YARGEO, ARCTICGAS, and Northgas are 51 percent, 50 percent, and 50 percent in each company, respectively. Further, NOVATEK has represented that it controls YARGEO. As a result, 100 percent of the reserves of YARGEO are reported herein as NOVATEK net reserves. At the request of TOTAL, the proved reserves estimates have been prepared in accordance with the reserves definitions of Rules 410(a) (1)(32) of Regulation SX of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the United States. This report was prepared in accordance with guidelines specified in Item 1202 (a)(8) of Regulation SK and is to be used for inclusion in certain SEC filings by TOTAL.
The fields evaluated herein include the Beregovoye, East Tarkosalinskoye, East Tazovskoye, Khancheiskoye, North Khancheiskoye + Khadyryakhinskoye, North Russkoye, Dobrovolskoye, Dorogovskoye, South Khadyryakhinskoye, Sterkhovoye,
DeGolyer and MacNaughton | 2 |
Urengoi (Olympinsky License Area), East Urengoiskoye + North Esentinskoye (West Yaro-Yakhinsky License Area), Syskonsyninskoye, West Yurkarovskoye, and Yurkharovskoye fields held by NOVATEK; the Yarudeiskoye field held by YARGEO; the North Esetinskoye + East Urengoiskoye (Samburg License Area), Samburgskoye, Urengoi (Samburg License Area); the Yaro-Yakhinskoye fields held by ARCTICGAS; and the North Urengoi field held by Northgas. The fields are located in the Russian Federation.
The fields evaluated are collectively referred to hereinafter as the Russian Holdings. TOTAL has represented that these fields account for 10 percent of TOTAL net proved reserves as of December 31, 2019, on a barrel of oil equivalent (boe) basis.
NOVATEK, YARGEO, ARCTICGAS, and Northgas (the Companies) have each represented that upon completion of the primary terms of their current licenses, each of the subsidiary enterprises intends to extend these licenses to the end of the economic lives of the associated fields, and that they intend to proceed accordingly with development and operations of these fields. Based on these representations and consistent with Russian law, we have included as proved reserves those volumes that are estimated to be economically producible from the fields evaluated after the expiration of the primary terms of their licenses.
Reserves estimated herein are expressed as net reserves held or controlled by NOVATEK (NOVATEK net reserves) and TOTALs 19.40-percent share of NOVATEK net reserves. Gross reserves are defined as the total estimated petroleum remaining to be produced from these properties after December 31, 2019. NOVATEK net reserves are defined as that portion of the gross reserves attributable to the interests held or controlled by NOVATEK after deducting all interests held by others. NOVATEK net reserves attributable to YARGEO are presented at 100-percent interest, since NOVATEK has represented that it controls YARGEO. TOTALs 19.40-percent share of NOVATEK net reserves are defined as that portion of the NOVATEK net reserves attributable to TOTALs interest in NOVATEK.
Estimates of reserves should be regarded only as estimates that may change as further production history and additional information become available. Not only are such estimates based on that information which is currently available, but such estimates are also subject to the uncertainties inherent in the application of judgmental factors in interpreting such information.
Information used in the preparation of this report was obtained from each of the Companies and from public sources. In the preparation of this report we have relied, without independent verification, upon information furnished by each of the Companies with respect to the field interests being evaluated, production from such fields, current costs of operation
DeGolyer and MacNaughton | 3 |
and development, current prices for production, agreements relating to current and future operations and sale of production, and various other information and data that were accepted as represented. A field examination was not considered necessary for the purposes of this report.
Definition of Reserves
Petroleum reserves estimated by us and included in this report are classified as proved. Only proved reserves have been evaluated for this report. Reserves classifications used by us in this report are in accordance with the reserves definitions of Rules 410(a) (1)(32) of Regulation SX of the SEC. Reserves are judged to be economically producible in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and assuming continuation of current regulatory practices using conventional production methods and equipment. In the analyses of production-decline curves, reserves were estimated only to the limit of economic rates of production under existing economic and operating conditions using prices and costs consistent with the effective date of this report, including consideration of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements but not including escalations based upon future conditions. The petroleum reserves are classified as follows:
Proved oil and gas reserves Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically produciblefrom a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulationsprior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.
(i) The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes:
(A) The area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and (B) Adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data.
(ii) In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a
DeGolyer and MacNaughton | 4 |
reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons (LKH) as seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty.
(iii) Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty.
(iv) Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when:
(A) Successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and (B) The project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities.
(v) Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.
Developed oil and gas reserves Developed oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that can be expected to be recovered:
(i) Through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively
DeGolyer and MacNaughton | 5 |
minor compared to the cost of a new well; and
(ii) Through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well.
Undeveloped oil and gas reserves Undeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.
(i) Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances.
(ii) Undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances justify a longer time.
(iii) Under no circumstances shall estimates for undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, as defined in [section 210.410 (a) Definitions], or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.
Methodology and Procedures
Estimates of reserves were prepared by the use of appropriate geologic, petroleum engineering, and evaluation principles and techniques that are in accordance with the reserves definitions of Rules 410(a) (1)(32) of Regulation SX of the SEC and with practices generally recognized by the petroleum industry as presented in the publication of the Society of Petroleum Engineers entitled Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information (revised June 2019) Approved by the SPE Board on 25 June 2019. The method or combination of methods used in the analysis of each reservoir was tempered by experience with similar reservoirs, stage of development, quality and
DeGolyer and MacNaughton | 6 |
completeness of basic data, and production history.
Based on the current stage of field development, production performance, the development plans provided by the Companies, and analyses of areas offsetting existing wells with test or production data, reserves were classified as proved. The proved undeveloped reserves estimates were based on opportunities identified in the plan of development provided by NOVATEK.
When applicable, the volumetric method was used to estimate the original oil in place (OOIP) and original gas in place (OGIP). Structure maps were prepared to delineate each reservoir, and isopach maps were constructed to estimate reservoir volume. Electrical logs, radioactivity logs, core analyses, and other available data were used to prepare these maps as well as to estimate representative values for porosity and water saturation. When adequate data were available and when circumstances justified, material-balance and other engineering methods were used to estimate OGIP.
Estimates of ultimate recovery were obtained after applying recovery factors to OGIP and OOIP. These recovery factors were based on consideration of the type of energy inherent in the reservoirs, analyses of the petroleum, the structural positions of the properties, and the production histories. When applicable, material-balance and other engineering methods were used to estimate reserves. In such cases, an analysis of reservoir performance, including production rate, reservoir pressure, and gas-liquid ratio behavior, was used in the estimation of reserves.
For reservoirs whose performance disclosed a reliable decline in producing-rate trends or other diagnostic characteristics, reserves were estimated by the application of appropriate decline curves or other performance relationships. In the analyses of production-decline curves, reserves were estimated only to the limits of economic production as defined under the Definition of Reserves heading of this report.
In certain cases, reserves were estimated by incorporating elements of analogy with similar wells or reservoirs for which more complete data were available.
Data provided by NOVATEK from wells drilled through December 31, 2019, and made available for this evaluation were used to prepare the reserves estimates herein. These reserves estimates were based on consideration of monthly production data available through December 31, 2019. Cumulative production, as of December 31, 2019, was deducted from the estimated gross ultimate recovery to estimate gross reserves.
Oil reserves estimated herein are to be recovered by normal field separation and are
DeGolyer and MacNaughton | 7 |
expressed in thousands of barrels (103bbl). In these estimates, 1 barrel equals 42 United States gallons.
Both stable condensate and de-ethanized condensate reserves are referred to herein as condensate reserves. Stable condensate reserves are recovered by normal separation and stabilization in the field. De-ethanized condensate reserves include both stable condensate and natural gas liquids (NGL) or wide-range light hydrocarbons (WRLH). These WRLH consist of propane and butane. After stable condensate removal by normal separation, additional liquids are recovered as WRLH through additional separation at reduced temperatures. Gas recovered during the de-ethanization process is reintroduced into the sales gas stream. Condensate reserves included in this report are expressed in thousands of barrels (103bbl). In these estimates, 1 barrel equals 42 United States gallons.
Gas reserves estimated herein are expressed as sales gas and marketable gas. Marketable gas is defined as the total gas produced from the reservoir after reduction for shrinkage resulting from field separation; processing, including removal of the nonhydrocarbon gas to meet pipeline specifications; and flare and other losses but not from fuel usage. Sales gas is defined as the total gas to be produced from the reservoirs measured at the point of delivery, after reduction for fuel usage, flare, and shrinkage resulting from field separation and processing. Gas reserves estimated herein are expressed at a temperature base of 20 degrees Celsius (°C) and at a pressure base of 1 atmosphere (atm). Gas reserves included in this report are expressed in millions of cubic feet (106ft3).
Gas quantities are identified by the type of reservoir from which the gas will be produced. Nonassociated gas is gas at initial reservoir conditions with no oil present in the reservoir. Associated gas is both gas-cap gas and solution gas. Gas-cap gas is gas at initial reservoir conditions and is in communication with an underlying oil zone. Solution gas is gas dissolved in oil at initial reservoir conditions. Gas quantities estimated herein include both associated and nonassociated gas.
Primary Economic Assumptions
This report has been prepared using initial prices, expenses, and costs provided by the Companies in United States dollars (U.S.$). Future prices were estimated using guidelines established by the SEC and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The following economic assumptions were used for estimating the reserves reported herein:
Oil and Condensate Prices
The Companies have represented that the oil and condensate prices
DeGolyer and MacNaughton | 8 |
were based on a reference price, calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month Urals price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period (the Reference Price). The Reference Price was calculated to be U.S.$62.31 per barrel. For the Companies holdings in the Russian Federation, the volume-weighted average oil and condensate prices over the lives of the fields were U.S.$44.62 per barrel and U.S.$35.59 per barrel, respectively. The Reference Price for each field can vary based on the oil or condensate quality differential to the Urals price. Where applicable, export tariffs or value-added tax, customs fees, processing fees, and transportation costs were subtracted from the Reference Price to arrive at the price provided. All aforementioned deductions from the Reference Price were provided by NOVATEK.
Gas Prices
The Companies have represented that the gas prices were based on the Reference Price of U.S.$2.19 per thousand cubic feet (103ft3), calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements. For the Companies holdings in the Russian Federation, the volume-weighted average price over the lives of the fields was U.S.$1.10 per 103ft3 after value-added tax, commissions and fees, and transportation costs have been subtracted from the Reference Price.
Operating Expenses and Capital Costs
Operating expenses and capital costs, based on information provided by the Companies, were used in estimating future expenditures required to operate the fields. In certain cases, future costs, either higher or lower than current expenditures, may have been used because of anticipated changes in operating conditions. These costs were not escalated for inflation.
In our opinion, the information relating to estimated proved reserves of oil, condensate, and gas contained in this report has been prepared in accordance with Paragraphs 932-235-50-4 and 932-235-50-6 through 932-235-50-9 of the Accounting Standards Update 932-235-50, Extractive Industries Oil and Gas (Topic 932): Oil and Gas
DeGolyer and MacNaughton | 9 |
Reserve Estimation and Disclosures (January 2010) of the FASB and Rules 410(a) (1)(32) of Regulation SX and Rules 302(b), 1201, 1202(a) (1), (2), (3), (4), (8), and 1203(a) of Regulation SK of the SEC; provided, however, that (i) estimates of proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves are not presented at the beginning of the year, (ii) certain proved undeveloped reserves are scheduled for development more than 5 years in the future, (iii) stable condensate and NGL are not reported separately, and (iv) certain economically producible quantities of reserves beyond the primary term of the current production licenses have been classified as proved reserves in this report based on each of the Companies representation that the Companies have the ability to and intend to extend the applicable current production licenses to the end of the economic lives of the associated fields and that each of the Companies believes with reasonable certainty that the inclusion of the reserves and revenue under extended license terms is consistent with SEC regulations. We believe it is reasonable therefore to include these quantities as SEC proved reserves for the reasons discussed herein.
We are not in a position to offer an opinion on the duration the production licenses under the Russian Law on Subsoil, but, in light of the above, believe the Companies views on the probability of license extensions to be reasonable although such view may not be confirmed by the SEC. We believe it is reasonable therefore to include these quantities as SEC proved reserves.
The Companies have each represented to us that the Russian Law on Subsoil requires that an operator develop a field according to a development plan that has been submitted to and approved by the appropriate government authority. Once approved, failure to follow the development plan is a violation of the Russian Law on Subsoil and may result in the cancellation of the operators production license for the field. Since the implementation of the approved development plan, including that portion that may occur more than 5 years in the future, is a requirement for maintaining the production license, we have included in certain of our estimates of SEC proved reserves those quantities associated with development activities that are part of the approved development plan and scheduled more than 5 years in the future. We believe that, since they must be developed to prevent the loss of licenses, there is reasonable certainty that the reserves will be developed. We believe it is reasonable therefore to include these quantities as SEC proved reserves. The Companies have each represented to us that the development plans provided to us are in accordance with the approved development plans. We cannot render an opinion regarding the actual possibility that a license will be terminated for failure to follow approved development plans nor an opinion on how many companies have lost their licenses for not following approved development plans.
To the extent the above-enumerated rules, regulations, and statements require
DeGolyer and MacNaughton | 10 |
determinations of an accounting or legal nature, we, as engineers, are necessarily unable to express an opinion as to whether the above-described information is in accordance therewith or sufficient therefor.
