Contributing to the just transition our societies are waiting for

« Sustainable development is at the heart of our strategy »
Patrick Pouyanné,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, TotalEnergies 

In 2021, Total became TotalEnergies: A new name for a new ambition to be a major player in the energy transition, engaged towards getting to net zero by 2050, together with society. This choice stems from a deeply-held conviction that everyone on the planet has the right to have access to energy - reliable, affordable energy that is a source of economic and social development.  At the same time, people expect a commitment from businesses to preserve the climate for future generations. To meet the dual challenge of more energies, fewer emissions, TotalEnergies is becoming a multi-energy company that puts sustainable  development at the heart of its strategy, projects and operations.

In this issue of At a Glance, we show you how this ambition informs all of our businesses, from production to trading and from transportation of energies to distribution to end users. We also show you how this ambition has already taken shape in our 2021 achievements. Our investment decisions, R&D and partnerships with startups and major companies all aim to accelerate the emergence of decarbonized value chains.  What’s more, they provide tangible proof of how everyone in energy is pulling together and illustrate our continuous dialogue with stakeholders to meet the demanding objectives we have set for 2030.

Despite the currently unstable geopolitical environment, I remain confident in our ability to move forward, to resolutely transform our model and to contribute, with our stakeholders, to the just transition our societies are waiting for, guided by our values - chief among them Safety - and the energy of TotalEnergies’ people.
