A responsible employer
TotalEnergies is a major industrial player in energy and the energy transition. It is also a responsible employer and corporate citizen. That means we are doing everything we can to achieve a transition that is as just as possible for our employees, our stakeholders and society as a whole. Backed by our values of respect and solidarity, our strength and reliability, and a commitment to excellence and innovation, our Company is steadily implementing the ambition of carbon neutrality by 2050, together with society.
Working for a just transition
The challenge facing us is to produce the energy we need today while developing the energy of tomorrow. The Just Transition is at the heart of our purpose “To provide as many people as possible with energy that is more reliable, more affordable, and more sustainable”. The Company is willing to accelerate the development of a decarbonized energy system, while maintaining the current energy system at a level sufficient to meet global demand and organize a just, orderly and equitable transition of energy systems. We balance our integrated, multi-energy strategy considering the changes in the energy markets. Anchored on two pillars: Oil & Gas, notably LNG, and electricity, the energy at the heart of the transition.
Our employees are committed to the energy transition
We believe that it is necessary to reconcile the stakes of climate change with the cost of energy and supply security. We have chosen to do that in a realistic, sustainable way by developing our multi-energy model (oil, gas, electricity, hydrogen, biofuels and biogas, wind and solar) and by profoundly transforming our Company, truly walking the talk. According to our annual employee engagement survey carried out by Ipsos, our teams have full confidence in our ability to achieve our ambition.

People’s well-being: what is at stake?
The 2015 Paris Agreement has generated a groundswell of awareness about the climate challenges and the emergency to act taking into account the imperatives of a just transition. The International Labour Organization (ILO) guidelines for a just transition towards environmentally sustainable economies and societies for all emphasize that economic actors must go beyond this single field to integrate social and environmental concerns in their activities. Care for people is highlighted as a key element, covering multiple dimensions: safety, respect for human rights or individual fulfillment. This is why TotalEnergies, as a major player in the world of energy, wants to be a reference as an employer and a responsible operator.
Building a Good Place to Work.
The Company’s commitment to social responsibility is reflected in the roll out of the Care Together by TotalEnergies program. In addition to commitments specific to each affiliate, this program guarantees compliance with high social standards for all its employees worldwide, regardless of the legislation in force in any given country. It is based on four pillars: social protection, health, family sphere, and the working environment and ways of working.
"Care Together by TotalEnergies reflects our intention to make TotalEnergies a company that is a good place to work together. We believe that employees’ well-being is a key factor in our performance and attractiveness. This program increases our social commitments and establishes us as a responsible company for all our employees by promoting high standards worldwide." said Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies.

Giving meaning to what we do
Among the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, universal access to clean energy is fully aligned with our ambitions. In emerging economies, it is essential for economic and social development. In Uganda and Tanzania, the construction phase of the Tilenga and EACOP projects had created more than 20,000 direct jobs and spent $1.2 billion locally by the end of 2024. It had provided approximately 1.5 million hours of training, with 40% of the technical skills applicable to other industries: this expertise will expand the job market and strengthen local industry. In Suriname, a significant part of the investment will be made locally, contributing to local employment and the economic development of Suriname. Overall, local content is estimated to be more than 1 B$ over the duration of the project, and more than 6,000 jobs (direct, indirect and induced) are expected to be created in the country.
Counting on our values
TotalEnergies’ transition is a demanding undertaking, supported not only by concrete investments but also by dedicated employees. We continue to base everything we do on our core values: Safety, Respect for Each Other, Pioneer Spirit, Stand Together and Performance-Minded. We make no compromises when it comes to respect for human rights in our activities and operations around the world, be it in the workplace, with our partners and service providers, or in our relations with host communities. We apply best practices that are based on, among other things, the United Nations’ Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, including prohibiting forced labor, child labor and discrimination, and ensuring fair, satisfactory and safe working conditions and decent wages.
Counting on our strengths
Our multi-energy strategy, integrated business model and solid finances are strengths that allow us to be a major player in sustainable energy and to navigate the changes facing our industry. Our transition is supported by the scale and stability of our investment policy. Of the $17.8 billion invested in 2024, nearly $5 billion was invested in low-carbon energy, primarily electricity. In 2025, we plan to maintain the same level of investment in electricity, with net investments of $17 to $17.5 billion.
Counting on you
Being a responsible industrial firm also means being a reference as an employer and a responsible operator... This ambition concerns our employees first and foremost. Their commitment and excellence are the Company’s key performance drivers. The main challenges are to attract and retain a diverse range of talent with the key skills needed by the Company, based on the principles of non-discrimination and equal opportunity. We must also support our people as jobs and technologies evolve so that they remain employable over the long term. And we must ensure a high level of commitment based on respect for everyone and improved quality of life at work.
Our employees get involved
Our employees have the opportunity to get involved in causes close to where they work. The Action! Program enables all employees to donate up to 3 workdays a year to local causes. These are opportunities to play a part in achieving the Company’s aim of driving positive change locally. In 2024, more than 10,000 employees took part in nearly 15,000 citizenship initiatives worldwide as part of this program.
