Scientists warn that human activities such as manufacturing, transportation and urban pollution are causing the global warming observed over the past few decades, linked to a higher concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Since 2001, in line with its concern for prevention, Total has undertaken to manage its greenhouse gas emissions. The group’s main efforts to keep its commitment include enhancing energy efficiency, cutting back on gas flaring, developing renewable energy solutions, and making contributions to R&D work such as CO₂ capture and storage.
