PRESERVING BIODIVERSITY

TotalEnergies places sustainable development in all its dimensions at the heart of its projects and operations to contribute to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, including those related to biodiversity. Backed by this ambition, TotalEnergies participated in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) World Conservation Congress in Marseille, France in September 2021. This was a crucial step in the preparation of the United Nations’ global biodiversity framework. In the front lines, we deploy tailored and tangible solutions to manage the impacts of all our operations on biodiversity. Our guiding principle is to avoid impacts whenever possible, reduce impacts if they cannot be avoided, and compensate if necessary. We take measures to preserve biodiversity everywhere we operate, for the lifespan of our facilities. As part of the Tilenga project in Uganda, for example, we have implemented a targeted action plan to generate a net positive impact on biodiversity. We have committed, among other things, to increasing the lion, elephant, antelope and waterbuck populations by 25%, restoring 1,000 hectares of tropical forest and protecting 10,000 hectares of natural forest and ecological corridors.
