TOTAL S.A.

Condensates are a mixture of hydrocarbons that exist in a gaseous phase at original
reservoir temperature and pressure, but that, when produced, exist in a liquid phase at
surface temperature and pressure. Condensates are sometimes referred to as C5+.

Crude oil is a mixture of compounds (mainly pentanes and heavier hydrocarbons) that
exists in a liquid phase at original reservoir temperature and pressure and remains
liquid at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature. “Crude oil” or “oil” are
sometimes used as generic terms to designate crude oil plus condensates plus NGL.

JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A.

The depositary agreement pursuant to which ADSs are issued, a copy of which is
attached as Exhibit (a) to the registration statement on Form F-6 (Reg. No. 333-199737)
filed with the SEC on October 31, 2014.

The ERMI (European Refining Margin Indicator) is a Group indicator intended to
represent the refining margin after variable costs for a theoretical complex refinery
located around Rotterdam in Northern Europe that processes a mix of crude oil and
other inputs commonly supplied to this region to produce and market the main refined
products at prevailing prices in the region.

TOTAL S.A. and its subsidiaries and affiliates. The terms TOTAL and Group are used
interchangeably.

A refinery unit which uses a catalyst and extraordinarily high pressure, in the presence
of surplus hydrogen, to shorten molecules.

Liquids consist of crude oil, bitumen, condensates and NGL.

Liquefied natural gas.

Liquefied petroleum gas is a mixture of hydrocarbons, the principal components of
which are propane and butane, in a gaseous state at atmospheric pressure, but which
is liquefied under moderate pressure and ambient temperature. LPG is included in
NGL.

Natural gas liquids (NGL) are a mixture of light hydrocarbons that exist in the gaseous
phase at atmospheric pressure and are recovered as liquids in gas processing plants;
NGL include very light hydrocarbons (ethane, propane and butane).

“oil and gas”

“proved undeveloped reserves”

“steam cracker”

“TOTAL”

“trains”

“turnarounds”

Abbreviations

Generic term which includes all hydrocarbons (e.g., crude oil, condensates, NGL,
bitumen and natural gas).

As used in this report, “project” may encompass different meanings, such as
properties, agreements, investments, developments, phases, activities or components,
each of which may also informally be described as a “project”. Such use is for
convenience only and is not intended as a precise description of the term “project” as
it relates to any specific governmental law or regulation.

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 producible 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. The full definition of “proved
reserves” that we are required to follow in presenting such information in our financial
results and elsewhere in reports we file with the SEC is found in Rule 4-10 of
Regulation S-X under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (including as
amended by the SEC “Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting” Release No. 33-8995
of December 31, 2008) (“Rule 4-10”).

Proved developed oil and gas reserves are proved reserves 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 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

C. RISK FACTORS

The Group conducts its activities in an ever-changing environment
and is exposed to risks that, if they were to occur, could have a
material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, assets
and liabilities, results or outlook.

The Group employs a continuous process of identifying and
analyzing risks in order to determine those that could prevent it
from achieving its objectives. This section presents the significant
risks to which the Group believes it is exposed as of the date of
this report. However, as of that date, the Group may not be aware
of other risks that could, or other risks may not have been
considered by the Group as being likely to, have a significant
adverse impact on the Group, its business, financial condition,
assets and liabilities, results or outlook. For additional information
on these conditions, along with TOTAL’s approaches to managing
certain of these risks, refer to “Item 4 — E. Other Matters”, “Item 5.
Operating and Financial Review and Prospects”, “Item 11.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” and
“Item 15 — Controls and Procedures”.

The financial performance of TOTAL is sensitive to a
number of market-related factors, the most significant
being crude oil and natural gas prices, refining margins and
exchange rates.

The table below shows the high and low dollar/euro exchange
rates for the four months ended December 31, 2015, and for the
first months of 2016, based on the daily ECB reference exchange
rates published during the relevant month expressed in dollars per
€1.00.

(a)

Through March 14, 2016.

The ECB reference exchange rate on March 14, 2016 for the
dollar against the euro was $1.1119/€.

Generally, a decline in crude oil prices has a negative effect on the
Group’s results due to a decrease in revenues from oil production.
Conversely, a rise in crude oil prices increases revenues.

The year 2015 was marked by the continuing sharp fall in oil prices
that started in the second half of 2014. For the year 2016,
according to the scenarios retained, the Group estimates that a
decrease of $10 per barrel in the price of Brent Crude would
decrease annual adjusted net operating income by approximately
$2 billion and cash flow from operations by approximately $2
billion. Conversely, an increase of $10 per barrel in the price of
Brent Crude would increase annual adjusted net operating income
by approximately $2 billion and cash flow from operations by
approximately $2 billion.

The impact of changes in crude oil 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 its European Refining Margin Indicator (ERMI) of
$10 per ton would decrease annual adjusted net operating income
by approximately $0.5 billion and cash flow from operations by
approximately $0.6 billion. Conversely, an increase in its ERMI of
$10 per ton would increase annual adjusted net operating income
by approximately $0.5 billion and cash flow from operations by
approximately $0.6 billion.

For the period 2011-2015, the averages of the ECB reference exchange rates expressed in dollars per €1.00 on the last business day of each month during the relevant
year are as follows: 2011 — 1.40; 2012 —1.29; 2013 —1.33; 2014 — 1.32; and 2015 — 1.10.

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

All of the Group’s activities are, for various reasons and to varying
degrees, sensitive to fluctuations in the dollar/euro exchange rate.
The Group estimates that an increase of $0.10 per euro
(weakening of the dollar versus the euro) would decrease adjusted
net operating income by approximately $0.15 billion and cash flow

from operations by approximately $0.1 billion. Conversely, a
decrease of $0.10 per euro (strengthening of the dollar versus the
euro) would increase adjusted net operating income by
approximately $0.15 billion and cash flow from operations by
approximately $0.1 billion.

Sensitivities revised once per year upon publication of the previous year’s fourth quarter results. Indicated sensitivities are approximate and based upon TOTAL’s current
view of its 2016 portfolio. Results may differ significantly from the estimates implied by the application of these sensitivities. 85% of the impact of the $/€ sensitivity on net
adjusted operating income is attributable to the Refining & Chemicals segment.

In addition to the adverse effect on the Group’s revenues,
margins and profitability, a prolonged period of low oil and
natural gas prices could lead the Group to review its
projects and the evaluation of its assets and oil and natural
gas reserves.

Prices for oil and natural gas may fluctuate widely due to many
factors over which TOTAL has no control. These factors include:

(cid:129)

variations in global and regional supply of and demand for
energy;
global and regional economic and political developments in
resource-producing regions, particularly in the Middle East,
Africa and South America;
the ability of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting
Countries (OPEC) and other producing nations to influence
global production levels and prices;
prices of unconventional energies as well as evolving
approaches for developing oil sands and shale oil, which may
affect the Group’s realized prices, notably under its long-term
gas sales contracts and asset valuations, particularly in North
America;
cost and availability of new technology;
governmental regulations and actions;
global economic and financial market conditions;
war or other conflicts;
changes in demographics, including population growth rates
and consumer preferences; and
adverse weather conditions that can disrupt supplies or
interrupt operations of the Group’s facilities.

Low oil and natural gas prices over prolonged periods may reduce
the economic viability of projects planned or in development,
impact the Group’s asset sale program and reduce liquidity,
thereby decreasing the Group’s ability to finance capital
expenditures and/or causing it to cancel or postpone investment
projects.

If TOTAL is unable to follow through with investment projects, the
Group’s opportunities for future revenue and profitability growth
would be reduced, which could materially impact the Group’s
financial condition.

Prolonged periods of low oil and natural gas prices may reduce the
Group’s reported reserves and/or result in impairment that could
have a significant effect on the Group’s results in the period in
which it occurs.

Conversely, in a high oil and gas price environment, the Group can
experience significant increases in cost and government take, and,

under some production-sharing contracts, the Group’s production
rights could be reduced. Higher prices can also reduce demand
for the Group’s products.

The Group’s earnings from its Refining & Chemicals and
Marketing & Services segments are primarily dependent upon the
supply and demand for refined products and the associated
margins on refined product sales, with the impact of changes in oil
and gas prices on earnings on these segments being dependent
upon the speed at which the prices of refined products adjust to
reflect movements in oil and gas prices. In 2015, the negative
effects of the decline of oil prices on the Group’s results were
partially offset by the results of Refining & Chemicals, which were
supported by high refining margins. In 2016, there can be no
assurance that the refining margins will remain at such a high level.

The activities of Trading & Shipping (oil, gas and power trading and
shipping activities) are particularly sensitive to market risk 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 risk (when a counterparty does
not fulfill its contractual obligations). The Group uses various
energy derivative instruments to adjust its exposure to price
fluctuations of crude oil, refined products, natural gas, power and
freight-rates. Although TOTAL believes it has established
appropriate risk management procedures, large market
fluctuations may adversely affect the activities and operating
results of the Group.

Since the second half of 2014, oil prices have declined very
significantly. For more detailed information on the impact of the
sharp decline in oil prices on the Group’s 2015 results, financial
condition (including impairments, significant reductions to capital
expenditures and operating costs, and divestments completed
under the Group’s asset sale program) and outlook, refer to
“Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects”.

Certain financial risks are detailed in Note 31 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

TOTAL is exposed to risks related to the safety and security
of its operations.

The Group’s activities involve a wide range of operational risks,
such as explosions, fires, accidents, equipment failures, leakage of
toxic products, emissions or discharges into the air, water or soil,
that can potentially cause death or injury, or impact natural
resources and ecosystems.

2015 Form 20-F TOTAL S.A.

Item 3 - C. Risk Factors

The industrial event that could have the most significant impact is a
major industrial accident (e.g., blow out, explosion, fire, leakage of
highly toxic products resulting in the death or injury of one or
several people and/or accidental pollution on a large-scale or at an
environmentally sensitive site).

Acts of terrorism against the Group’s plants and sites, pipelines,
and transportation and computer systems could also disrupt its
business activities and could cause harm to people, the
environment and property.

Certain activities of the Group face specific additional risks.
TOTAL’s Upstream segment faces, notably, risks related to the
physical characteristics of oil and gas fields, particularly during
exploration operations that can cause blow outs, explosions and
fires and harm the environment as well as lead to a disruption of
the Group’s operations or reduce its production. In addition to the
risks of explosions and fires, the activities of the Refining &
Chemicals and Marketing & Services business segments entail
risks related to the overall life cycle of the products manufactured,
as well as the materials used. With regard to transportation, the
likelihood of an operational accident depends not only on the
hazardous nature of the products transported, but also on the
volumes involved and the sensitivity of the regions through which
they are transported (quality of infrastructure, population density,
environmental considerations).

TOTAL’s workforce and the public are exposed to risks inherent to
the Group’s operations (loss of life, injuries, property damage,
environmental damage) that could result in regulatory action and
legal liability against the Group’s entities and senior management
as well as damage to the Group’s reputation. Like most industrial
groups, TOTAL is affected by reports of occupational illnesses,
particularly those caused by past exposure of Group employees to
asbestos.

To manage the operational risks to which it is exposed, the Group
maintains worldwide third-party liability insurance coverage for all
its subsidiaries. TOTAL also has insurance to protect against the
risk of damage to Group property and/or business interruption at
its main refining and petrochemical sites. TOTAL’s insurance and
risk management policies are described in “Item 4 — E. Other
Matters — 3. Insurance and risk management”. However, the
Group is not insured against all potential risks. In certain cases,
such as a major environmental disaster, TOTAL’s 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.

Crisis management systems are necessary to effectively
respond to emergencies, avoid potential disruptions to
TOTAL’s business and operations and minimize impacts on
third parties and the environment.

TOTAL has crisis management plans in place to deal with
emergencies (refer to “Item 15 — Controls and Procedures”).
However, these plans cannot exclude the risk that the Group’s
business and operations may be severely disrupted in a crisis
situation or ensure the absence of impacts on third parties or the
environment. TOTAL has also implemented business continuity
plans to continue or resume operations following a shutdown or
incident. An inability to restore or replace critical capacity in a
timely manner could prolong the impact of any disruption and
could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business and
operations.

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

TOTAL is subject to increasingly stringent environmental,
health and safety laws and regulations in numerous
countries and may incur material related compliance costs.

The Group’s activities are subject to numerous laws and
regulations pertaining to health, safety and the environment. In
most countries where the Group operates, particularly in Europe
and the United States, sites and products are subject to
increasingly strict laws governing the protection of the environment
(e.g., water, air, soil, noise, protection of nature, waste
management, impact assessments), health (e.g., occupational
safety, chemical product risk), and the safety of personnel and
residents (e.g., major risk facilities).

Product quality and consumer protection are also subject to
regulations. The Group’s entities ensure that their products meet
applicable specifications and abide by all applicable consumer
protection laws. Failure to do so could lead to personal injury,
environmental harm and loss of customers, which could negatively
impact the Group’s operating results, financial position and
reputation.

TOTAL incurs, and will continue to incur, substantial expenditures
to comply with increasingly complex laws and regulations aimed at
protecting health, safety and the environment. Such expenditures
could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s operating
results and financial position.

As a further result of, notably, the introduction of new laws and
regulations, the Group could also be compelled to curtail, modify
or cease certain operations or implement temporary shutdowns of
facilities, which could diminish the Group’s productivity and have a
material adverse impact on its operating results.

Moreover, most of the Group’s activities will eventually, at site
closure, require decommissioning followed by environmental
remediation after operations are discontinued, due to compliance
with applicable regulations. Costs related to such activities may
materially exceed the Group’s provisions and adversely impact its
operating results. With regard to the permanent shutdown of an
activity, the Group’s environmental contingencies and asset
retirement obligations are addressed in the “Asset retirement
obligations” and “Provisions for environmental contingencies”
sections of the Group’s Consolidated Balance Sheet (refer to
Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Future
expenditures related to asset retirement obligations are accounted
for in accordance with the accounting principles described in
Note 1Q to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Laws and regulations related to climate change may
adversely affect the Group’s business.

Growing public concern in a number of countries over greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions and climate change, as well as a
multiplication of stricter regulations in this area, could adversely
affect the Group’s businesses, increase its operating costs and
reduce its profitability.

The scientific community has established a link between climate
change and increasing GHG emissions. The worldwide goal to limit
global warming has led to the need to gradually reduce fossil fuel
use notably through the diversification of the energy mix. The share
of natural gas, the least GHG-emitting fossil energy source,
represented nearly 50% of TOTAL’s production in 2015,
compared to approximately 35% in 2005. The Group has ceased
its coal production activities and is developing its renewable
energy production activities in solar and biomass. 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 the most emitting projects,
as well as the economic value of some of the Group’s assets.

In Europe, the regulations concerning the market for CO2 emission
allowances, the EU Emissions Trading System (EU-ETS), entered a
third phase on January 1, 2013. This phase marks the end of the
overall free allocation of emission allowances: certain emissions,
such as those related to electricity production, no longer benefit
from free allowances, while for others free allowances have been
significantly reduced. Free allocations are now established based
on the emission level of the top-performing plants (i.e., the least
GHG-emitting) within the same sector (“top 10 benchmark”).
Lower-performing plants must purchase, at market price, the
necessary allowances to cover their emissions over these free
allocations. The plants also need to indirectly bear the cost of
allowances for all electricity consumed (including electricity
generated internally at the facilities).

The European Commission’s decision to apply a “cross-sectoral
correction factor” (CSCF) has reduced the total amount of free
allocations for all sectors combined by an average of 11.6% over
phase 3 (2013-2020). However, the revision in 2014 of the list of
“sectors exposed to carbon leakage” confirmed that the refining
sector in Europe is an exposed sector, which may continue to
benefit from free allowances that partially cover its deficits.

In this context, the Group estimates that approximately 30% of its
emissions subject to the EU-ETS will not be covered by free
allowances during the 2013-2020 period. The financial risk related
to the foreseeable purchase of CO2 emission allowances on the
market should remain low for the Group during this period. At
year-end 2015, the price of the EU allowances stood at
approximately €8/t CO2 and may reach approximately €20/t(1) CO2
for 2020 due to the combined effects of backloading(2), having
removed 900 Mt from phase 3 allowance auctions, and the
establishment of a “market stability reserve” at the end of this
phase.

The physical effects of climate change may adversely affect
the Group’s business.

TOTAL’s businesses operate in varied locales where the potential
physical impacts of climate change, including changes in weather
patterns, are highly uncertain and may adversely impact the results
of the Group’s operations.

Climate change potentially has multiple effects that could harm the
Group’s operations. The increasing scarcity of water resources
may negatively affect the Group’s 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. These climate risk factors are continually
assessed in TOTAL’s management and risk management plans.

The Group believes that it is impossible to guarantee that the
contingencies or liabilities related to the matters mentioned above
will not have a material adverse impact in the future on its
business, assets and liabilities, consolidated financial situation,
cash flow or income.

Disruption to or breaches of TOTAL’s critical IT services or
information security systems could adversely affect the
Group’s operations.

The Group’s activities depend heavily on the reliability and security
of its information technology (IT) systems. If the integrity of its IT

Item 3 - C. Risk Factors

systems were compromised due to, for example, technical failure,
cyber attack, computer intrusions and viruses, power or network
outages or natural disasters, the Group’s activities and assets
could sustain serious damage, material intellectual property could
be divulged and, in some cases, personal injury, environmental
harm and regulatory violations could occur, potentially having a
material adverse effect on the Group’s financial condition,
including its results.

The Group’s 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
are subject to a number of challenges, including, in particular,
those related to:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)

negotiations with partners, governments, suppliers,
customers and others;
obtaining project financing;
controlling operating costs;
earning an adequate return in a low oil price environment;
adhering to projects schedules; and
the timely issuance or renewal of permits and licenses by
government agencies.

Poor delivery of any major project that underpins production or
production growth could adversely affect the Group’s financial
performance.

The Group’s long-term profitability depends on cost-
effective discovery, acquisition and development of
economically viable new reserves; if the Group is
unsuccessful, its operating results and financial condition
would be materially and adversely affected.

A large portion of the Group’s 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 and
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. Due to
constantly changing market conditions and environmental
challenges, cost projections can be uncertain. For the Upstream
segment to continue to be profitable, the Group needs to replace
its reserves with new proved reserves that can be developed and
produced in an economically viable manner.

In addition, TOTAL’s ability to discover or acquire and develop new
reserves successfully is uncertain and can be negatively affected
by a number of factors, including:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)
(cid:129)

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 inability of service companies to deliver on contracted
services on time and on budget;
the inability of the Group’s partners to execute or finance
projects in which the Group holds an interest;
equipment failures, fires, blow-outs or accidents;
the Group’s inability to develop or implement new
technologies that enable access to previously inaccessible
fields;

the Group’s inability to anticipate market changes in a timely
manner;
adverse weather conditions;
compliance with both anticipated and unanticipated
governmental requirements, including U.S. and EU
regulations that may give a competitive advantage to
companies not subject to such regulations;
shortages or delays in the availability or delivery of appropriate
equipment;
industrial action;
competition from oil and gas companies for the acquisition
and development of assets and licenses;
increased taxes and royalties, including retroactive claims;
and
disputes related to property titles.

These factors could lead to cost overruns and could impair the
Group’s ability to complete a development project or make
production economical. Some of these factors may also affect the
Group’s projects and facilities further down the oil and gas chain.

If TOTAL fails to develop new reserves cost-effectively in sufficient
quantities to replace the Group’s reserves currently being
developed, produced and marketed, the Group’s financial
condition, including its results, would be materially and adversely
affected.

The Group’s oil and gas reserves data are estimates only
and subsequent downward adjustments are possible. If
actual production from such reserves proves to be lower
than current estimates indicate, the Group’s operating
results and financial condition would be negatively
impacted.

The Group’s 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. Reserves are
estimated by teams of qualified, experienced and trained
geoscientists, petroleum engineers and project engineers, who
rigorously review and analyze in detail all available geoscience and
engineering data (e.g., seismic data, electrical logs, cores, fluids,
pressures, flow rates, facilities parameters). This process involves
making subjective judgments, 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. Consequently, estimates of reserves are not
exact measurements and are subject to revision.

A variety of factors that are beyond the Group’s control could
cause such estimates to be adjusted downward in the future, or
cause the Group’s actual production to be lower than its currently
reported proved reserves indicate. These main such factors
include:

(cid:129)

a decline in the price of oil or gas, making reserves no longer
economically viable to exploit and therefore not classifiable as
proved;

6

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

an increase in the price of oil or gas, which may reduce the
reserves to which the Group is entitled under production
sharing and risked service contracts and other contractual
terms;
changes in tax rules and other government regulations that
make reserves no longer economically viable to exploit; and
the actual production performance of the Group’s deposits.

The Group’s 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 Group’s assumptions regarding
factors or variables that are beyond its control prove to be
incorrect over time. Any downward adjustment would indicate
lower future production amounts, which could adversely affect the
Group’s financial condition, including its results.

Many of the Group’s projects are conducted by equity
affiliates or are operated by third parties. For these projects,
the Group’s degree of control, as well as its ability to
identify and manage risks, may be reduced.

A significant number of the Group’s projects is conducted by
equity affiliates. In cases where the Group’s company is not the
operator, such company may have limited influence over, and
control of, the behavior, performance and costs of the partnership,
its ability to manage risks may be limited and it may, nevertheless,
be prosecuted by regulators or claimants in the event of an
incident.

For additional information concerning equity affiliates, refer to
Note 12 (“Equity affiliates: investments and loans”) to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Additionally, the partners of the Group may not be able to meet
their financial or other obligations to the projects, which may
threaten the viability of a given project. These partners may also
not have the financial capacity to fully indemnify the Group in the
event of an incident.

Contracts signed by the Group’s entities may provide for
indemnification obligations either by TOTAL in favor of the
contractor or third parties or by the contractor or third parties in
favor of TOTAL if, for example, an event occurs leading to death,
personal injury or property or environmental damage.

With respect to joint ventures, contractual terms generally provide
that the operator, whether an entity of the Group or a third party,
assumes full liability for damages caused by its gross negligence or
willful misconduct.

In the absence of the operator’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct, other liabilities are generally borne by the joint venture
and the cost thereof is assumed by the partners of the joint
venture in proportion to their respective ownership interests.

With respect to third-party providers of goods and services, the
amount and nature of the liability assumed by the third party
depends on the context and may be limited by contract. With
respect to their customers, the Group’s entities ensure that their
products meet applicable specifications and abide by all applicable
consumer protection laws. Failure to do so could lead to personal
injury, environmental harm and loss of customers, which could
negatively impact the Group’s financial condition and reputation.

TOTAL has significant production and reserves located in
politically, economically and socially unstable areas, where
the likelihood of material disruption of the Group’s
operations is relatively high.

A significant portion of TOTAL’s oil and gas production and
reserves is located in countries outside of the Organisation for
Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). In recent years,
a number of these countries have experienced varying degrees of
one or more of the following: economic instability, political volatility,
civil war, violent conflict, social unrest, actions of terrorist groups
and the application of international economic sanctions. Any of
these conditions alone or in combination could disrupt the Group’s
operations in any of these regions, causing substantial declines in
production or revisions to reserves estimates. In Africa, which
represented 29% of the Group’s 2015 combined liquids and gas
production, certain of the countries in which the Group has
production have recently suffered from some of these conditions,
including Nigeria, which is one of the main contributing countries
to the Group’s production of hydrocarbons, and Libya. The Middle
East, which represented 21% of the Group’s 2015 combined
liquids and gas production, has in recent years suffered increased
political volatility in connection with violent conflict and social
unrest, including Syria, where European Union (EU) and U.S.
economic sanctions have prohibited TOTAL from producing oil
and gas since 2011. In Yemen, the deterioration of security
conditions in the vicinity of Balhaf have lead 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 South America, which
represented 6% of the Group’s 2015, combined liquids and gas
production, certain of the countries in which TOTAL has
production have recently suffered from some of the above-
mentioned conditions, including Argentina and Venezuela. In
Russia, where, as of December 31, 2015, the Group held 19% of
its proved reserves, members of the international community have,
since July 2014, adopted economic sanctions against certain
Russian persons and entities, including various entities operating in
the financial, energy and defense sectors, in response to the
situation in Ukraine (for additional information, refer to the risk
factor on economic sanctions, below).

Furthermore, in addition to current production, TOTAL is also
exploring for and developing new reserves in other regions of the
world that are historically characterized by political, social and
economic instability, such as the Caspian Sea region where
TOTAL has large projects currently underway.

The occurrence and magnitude of incidents related to economic,
social and political instability are unpredictable. It is possible that
they could have a material adverse impact on the Group’s
production and operations in the future and/or cause certain
investors to reduce their holdings of TOTAL’s securities.

TOTAL, like other major international energy companies, has a
geographically diverse portfolio of reserves and operational sites,
which allows it to conduct its business and financial affairs so as to
reduce its exposure to political and economic risks. However,
there can be no assurance that such events will not have a
material adverse impact on the Group.

Intervention by host country authorities can adversely
effect the Group’s activities and its operating results.

TOTAL has significant exploration and production activities, and in
some cases refining, marketing or chemicals operations, in
countries whose governmental and regulatory framework is subject
to unexpected change and where the enforcement of contractual
rights is uncertain. The legal framework of TOTAL’s exploration

Item 3 - C. Risk Factors

and production activities, established through concessions,
licenses, permits and contracts granted by or entered into with a
government entity, a state-owned company or, sometimes, private
owners, is subject to risks of renegotiation that, in certain cases,
can reduce or challenge the protections offered by the initial legal
framework.

In addition, the Group’s exploration and production activities in
such countries are often undertaken in conjunction with state-
owned entities, for example as part of a joint venture where the
state has a significant degree of control. In recent years, in various
regions globally, TOTAL has observed governments and state-
owned enterprises impose more stringent conditions on
companies pursuing exploration and production activities in their
respective countries, increasing the costs and uncertainties of the
Group’s business operations, which is a trend TOTAL expects to
continue.

Potential increasing intervention by governments in such countries
can take a wide variety of forms, including:

(cid:129)
(cid:129)

(cid:129)
(cid:129)

(cid:129)
(cid:129)

(cid:129)

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;
the renegotiation of contracts;
the imposition of increased local content requirements;
payment delays; and
currency exchange restrictions or currency devaluation.

Imposition of any of these factors by a host government where
TOTAL has substantial operations, including exploration, could
cause the Group to incur material costs or cause the Group’s
production or value of the Group’s assets to decrease, which
could potentially have a material adverse effect on its results.

For example, the Nigerian government has been contemplating
new legislation to govern the petroleum industry which, if passed
into law, could have an impact on the existing and future activities
of the Group in that country through increased taxes and/or
operating costs and could adversely affect financial returns from
projects in that country.

The Group operates in a highly competitive environment. Its
competitiveness could be adversely impacted if the Group’s
level of innovation lagged behind its competitors.

TOTAL’s main competitors are comprised of national and
international oil companies. The evolution of the energy sector has
opened the door to new competitors and increased market price
volatility.

TOTAL is subject to competition in the acquisition of assets and
licenses for the exploration and production of oil and natural gas
as well as for the sale of manufactured products based on crude
and refined oil. In the gas sector, major producers increasingly
compete in the downstream value chain with established
distribution companies, including those that belong to the Group.
Increased competitive pressure could have a significant negative
effect on the prices, margins and market shares of the Group’s
companies.

The pursuit of unconventional gas development, particularly in the
United States, has contributed to falling market prices and a
marked difference between spot and long-term contract prices.
The competitiveness of long-term contracts indexed to oil prices
could be affected if this discrepancy persists and if it should prove
difficult to invoke price revision clauses.

Item 3 - C. Risk Factors

The Group’s activities are carried out in a constantly changing
environment with new products and technologies continuously
emerging. The Group may not be able to anticipate these
changes, 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 Group’s innovation policy
requires significant investment, notably in R&D, of which the
expected impact cannot be guaranteed.

Ethical misconduct or breaches of applicable laws by
employees of the Group could expose TOTAL to criminal
and civil penalties and be damaging to TOTAL’s reputation
and shareholder value.

The Group’s Code of Conduct, which applies to all of its
employees, defines TOTAL’s commitment to business integrity and
compliance with all applicable legal requirements and high ethical
standards. This commitment is supported by a “zero tolerance”
principle. Ethical misconduct or non-compliance with applicable
laws and regulations by TOTAL or any third party acting on its
behalf could expose TOTAL and/or its employees to criminal and
civil penalties and could be damaging to TOTAL’s reputation and
shareholder value.

In addition, such misconduct or non-compliance may lead the
competent authorities to impose other measures, such as the
appointment of an independent monitor in charge of assessing the
Group’s compliance and internal control procedures and, if need
be, recommending improvements. For an overview of the
settlements between TOTAL, the SEC and the Department of
Justice (DoJ) providing for the appointment of an independent
monitor, refer to “Item 4 — E. Other Matters — 4.3.7.1.
Preventing corruption” and “Item 8 — 4. Legal or arbitration
proceedings — Iran”.

With respect to competition laws, which apply to the Group’s
companies in the vast majority of countries in which it does
business, non-compliance may result in substantial fines and
expose the Group and its employees to criminal sanctions and civil
suits.

Generally, entities of the Group could potentially be subject to
administrative, judicial or arbitration proceedings that could have a
material adverse impact on the Group or its financial situation.

TOTAL has activities in certain countries targeted by
economic sanctions. If the Group’s activities are not
conducted in accordance with applicable laws and
regulations, TOTAL could be sanctioned or otherwise
penalized.

Various members of the international community have targeted
certain countries, including Iran, Syria and Russia, with economic
sanctions and other restrictive measures. U.S. and European
restrictions relevant to the Group and certain disclosure
concerning the Group’s limited activities or presence in certain
targeted countries are outlined below and in “Item 4 — E. Other
Matters — 5. Information concerning certain limited activities in
Iran and Syria”, respectively.

TOTAL continues to closely monitor the possible impacts of
international economic sanctions regimes on its activities. The
Group does not believe that its activities in targeted countries are
in violation of applicable international economic sanctions
administered by the United States, the European Union (“EU”) and
other members of the international community. However, the
Group cannot assure that current or future regulations or
developments related to economic sanctions will not have a
negative impact on its business or reputation. A violation by the

8

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

Group of applicable laws or regulations could result in criminal, civil
and/or material financial penalties.

Restrictions against Iran

With respect to Iran, the United States has adopted a number of
measures since 1996 that provide for the possible imposition of
sanctions against non-U.S. companies engaged in certain
activities in and with Iran. Pursuant to the Iran Sanctions Act
(“ISA”), which has been amended and expanded on several
occasions since 1996, including by the Comprehensive Iran
Sanctions, Accountability and Divestment Act of 2010 (“CISADA”),
the President of the United States is authorized to initiate an
investigation into the activities of non-U.S. companies in Iran’s
energy sector and to impose sanctions against persons found,
amongst other activities, to have knowingly made investments of
$20 million or more in Iran’s petroleum sector in any 12-month
period. In May 1998, the U.S. government waived the application
of ISA sanctions for TOTAL’s past investments in the South Pars
gas field. This waiver, which has not been modified since it was
granted, does not address any of TOTAL’s other activities in Iran.
Excluding the investments made as part of the development of
South Pars, TOTAL made investments in Iran in excess of
$20 million in each of the years between 1996 and 2007.These
investments are not sanctionable by the U.S. authorities pursuant
to a determination made by the U.S. Department of State on
September 30, 2010, under the “Special Rule” provision of ISA
that allows it to avoid making a determination of sanctionability
with respect to any party that provides certain assurances. The
U.S. Department of State further indicated that, so long as TOTAL
acts in accordance with its commitments, it will not be regarded as
a company of concern for its past Iran-related activities. Since
2008, TOTAL’s position in Iran essentially has consisted of being
reimbursed for its past investments as part of buyback contracts
signed between 1995 and 1999 with respect to permits on which
the Group is no longer the operator. Since 2011, TOTAL has had
no production in Iran. Furthermore, since the applicability of the
“Special Rule” to TOTAL was announced by the U.S. State
Department, the United States imposed a number of additional
restrictive measures targeting activities in Iran. TOTAL does not
conduct activities that it believes would be sanctionable under
these measures.

Many U.S. states have adopted legislation with respect to Iran
requiring, in certain conditions, state pension funds to divest
themselves of securities in any company with active business
operations in Iran and state contracts not to be awarded to such
companies. State regulators have adopted similar initiatives
relating to investments by insurance companies. If TOTAL’s
presence in Iran were determined to fall within the prohibited
scope of these laws, and TOTAL were not to qualify for any
available exemptions, certain U.S. institutions holding interests in
TOTAL may be required to sell their interests. If significant, sales of
securities resulting from such laws and/or regulatory initiatives
could have an adverse effect on the prices of TOTAL’s securities.

The EU has also adopted sanctions regimes with regard to Iran,
including a set of restrictive measures adopted in July and October
2010 that prohibited, among other things, the supply of key
equipment and technology in the refining, liquefied natural gas
(LNG), and oil and gas exploration and production sectors in Iran,
as well as technical assistance, training and financial assistance in
connection with such items. Extension of loans or credit to,
acquisition of shares in, entry into joint ventures with or other
participation in enterprises in Iran (or Iranian-owned enterprises
outside of Iran) engaged in any of the targeted sectors also is
prohibited. Moreover, with respect to restrictions on transfers of
funds and on financial services, any transfer of at least €400,000

or equivalent to or from an Iranian individual or entity shall require a
prior authorization of the competent authorities of the EU Member
States. TOTAL conducts its activities in compliance with these EU
measures. On January 23, 2012, the Council of the EU prohibited
the purchase, import and transport of Iranian oil and petroleum
and petrochemical products by European persons and by entities
constituted under the laws of an EU Member State. Prior to that
date, TOTAL had ceased these activities.

On July 14, 2015, the EU, the P5+1 countries (China, France,
Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States and Germany) and
Iran reached an agreement called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of
Action (the “JCPOA”) regarding limits on Iran’s nuclear activities
and relief under certain U.S., EU and UN sanctions regarding Iran.
On January 16, 2016, in recognition of the International Atomic
Energy Agency (“IAEA”) having verified that Iran has met its initial
nuclear compliance commitments under the JCPOA, EU and UN
and secondary U.S. (i.e., those covering non-U.S. persons)
economic and financial sanctions were suspended, but they could
be re-imposed if there is a dispute over Iran’s compliance with its
nuclear commitments. TOTAL is closely monitoring developments
in this regard.

-

Restrictions against Syria

With respect to Syria, the EU adopted measures in May 2011 that
prohibit the supply of certain equipment to this country, as well as
certain financial and asset transactions with respect to a list of
named individuals and entities. These measures apply to European
persons and to entities constituted under the laws of an EU
Member State. In September 2011, the EU adopted further
measures, including, notably, a prohibition on the purchase, import
or transportation from Syria of crude oil and petroleum products.
Since early September 2011, the Group ceased to purchase
hydrocarbons from Syria. On December 1, 2011, the EU extended
sanctions against, among others, three state-owned Syrian oil
firms, including General Petroleum Corporation, TOTAL’s co-
contracting partner in the production sharing agreement signed in
1988 (Deir Ez Zor licence) and the Tabiyeh contract. The United
States also has various measures regarding Syria. Since early
December 2011, the Group has ceased its activities that
contributed to oil and gas production in Syria.

-

Restrictions against Russia

Since July 2014, members of the international community have
adopted economic sanctions against certain Russian persons and
entities, including various entities operating in the financial, energy
and defense sectors, in response to the situation in Ukraine.

Items 3 - 4

Among other things, the United States has adopted economic
sanctions targeting OAO Novatek(1) (“Novatek”), as well as entities
in which Novatek (individually or with other similarly targeted
persons or entities collectively) owns an interest of at least 50%,
including OAO Yamal LNG(2) (“Yamal LNG”). These sanctions
prohibit U.S. persons from transacting in, providing financing for or
otherwise dealing in debt issued by these entities after July 16,
2014 of greater than 90 days maturity. Consequently, the use of
the U.S. dollar for such financing, including for Yamal LNG, is
effectively prohibited.

As a result, the financing plan for the Yamal LNG project is being
reviewed, and the project’s partners are engaged in efforts to
develop a financing plan in compliance with the applicable
regulations.

The economic sanctions initially adopted by the European Union in
2014 and subsequently extended do not materially affect TOTAL’s
activities in Russia. TOTAL has been formally authorized to
continue all its activities in Russia (in the Kharyaga field as
operator, and in the Termokarstovoye field and Yamal project in
which the Group holds interests) by the French government, which
is the competent authority for granting authorization under the EU
sanctions regime.

TOTAL’s activities in Russia are also not materially affected by
restrictive measures adopted by the United States in August 2015
imposing export controls and restrictions relating to the export of
certain goods, services, and technologies destined for projects
located in Russia in the field of oil exploration.

With respect to the exploration project in the Bazhenov play (tight
oil) in western Siberia, which has been suspended since 2014,
TOTAL signed in July 2015 an agreement to transfer the
exploration licenses it held in this play to OAO Lukoil. This
agreement also sets out the conditions under which TOTAL and
OAO Lukoil could potentially resume their joint activities in Russia.
In January 2016, TOTAL signed an agreement to sell 50% of its
interest in the Kharyaga field and transfer the operatorship to
Zarubezhneft. After the sale, which is expected to be completed in
2016, TOTAL’s interest in the Kharyaga field will be 20%.

TOTAL continues to closely monitor the different international
economic sanctions with respect to its activities in Russia.

As of December 31, 2015, the Group held 19% of its proved
reserves in Russia.

A. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

TOTAL S.A., a French société anonyme (limited company)
incorporated on March 28, 1924 is, together with its subsidiaries
and affiliates, the world’s fourth largest publicly-traded integrated
oil and gas company(3).

With operations in more than 130 countries, TOTAL is engaged in
every sector of the oil industry, including upstream (hydrocarbon
exploration, development and production) and downstream
(refining, petrochemicals, specialty chemicals, trading and shipping

of crude oil and petroleum products and marketing). TOTAL also
operates in the renewable energies and power generation sectors.

TOTAL began its Upstream operations in the Middle East in 1924.
Since then, the Company has grown and expanded its operations
worldwide. In early 1999, the Company acquired control of
PetroFina S.A. and in early 2000 it acquired control of Elf
Aquitaine. Since the repeal in 2002 of the decree of December 13,
1993 that established a golden share of Elf Aquitaine held by the

B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW

The Group’s goal is to be a global energy company. TOTAL is a
leading international oil and gas company, and is active in new
energy sources, such as solar energy and biomass. To achieve
this goal, TOTAL leverages its integrated business model, which
enables it to capture synergies between the different business
segments of the Group. TOTAL stands out due to its operational
excellence, its technological expertise and its capacity to manage
complex projects. The Group’s strategy is based on four main
priorities:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

driving profitable, sustainable growth in Exploration &
Production’s hydrocarbon activities;
developing competitive, top-tier refining and petrochemical
complexes;
responding to its customer needs by delivering innovative
solutions and services that go beyond the supply of
petroleum products; and
consolidating its leadership in solar energy and continuing to
develop biomass in order to offer the most appropriate energy
solutions.

This strategy incorporates the challenges of climate change using
the International Energy Agency 2°C scenario (450 ppm) as a point

1. GEOGRAPHIC BREAKDOWN OF ACTIVITIES

of reference. TOTAL’s challenge is to contribute to satisfying the
demand for energy of the world’s growing population, while
providing concrete solutions to limit the effects of climate change.
To do so, the Group focuses its actions around several key points,
including the development of gas and renewable energies.

At the core of TOTAL’s strategy is a strong belief that energy is
vital, drives progress and must be made available to everyone.
Energy is a precious resource that must be used wisely. The
Group is helping to produce the energy that people around the
planet need to live and thrive, while ensuring that its operations
deliver economic, societal and environmental benefits. TOTAL is
meeting this challenge with and for its employees, its stakeholders
and local communities.

Beyond safety, the values of respect, responsibility and exemplary
conduct underpin TOTAL’s Code of Conduct and accompany
priority business principles in the realms of safety/security/health/
the environment, integrity (preventing corruption, fraud and anti-
competitive practices) and human rights. It is through strict
adherence to these values and principles that TOTAL will be able
to build strong and sustainable growth for the Group and its
stakeholders and fulfill its motto: committed to better energy.

TOTAL’s worldwide operations in 2014 were conducted through
three business segments: Upstream, Refining & Chemicals and
Marketing & Services. The table below gives information on the

geographic breakdown of TOTAL’s activities and is taken from

TOTAL’s Upstream segment includes the activities of Exploration & Production and Gas. The Group has exploration and production activities
in more than 50 countries and produces oil or gas in approximately 30 countries. Gas conducts activities downstream from production
related to natural gas, liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), as well as power generation and trading, and other
activities.

Exploration & Production

2.1.2. Reserves

Item 4 - B.2. Upstream Segment

Exploration & Production’s mission is to discover and develop oil
and gas fields in order to meet growing energy demand. Safety is
a core value for that mission.

In an environment marked by the significant drop in hydrocarbon
prices, Exploration & Production’s strategy is based on:

(cid:129)

developing its operational excellence (reduction of operating
costs and development costs and operational efficiency
improvement) by drawing on its technological expertise and
on innovation;

(cid:129) maintaining a leading position in the Group’s technical areas

(cid:129)

of excellence, such as deep offshore and LNG;
renewing reserves through exploration and access to already
discovered but undeveloped resources.

This strategy aims at developing an oil and gas production model
that is resilient (i.e., which can withstand a long period of low
hydrocarbon prices), profitable and sustainable.

Additionally, Exploration & Production thrives to minimize the
environmental impact of its activities.

In 2015, the Group’s production grew 9.4% compared to 2014.
Exploration & Production is exiting a heavy investments phase,
which peaked in 2013, and which is expected to lead to a
production increase of 5% per year over the period of 2014-2019.
The main growth levers include, on the one hand, the start-up of
20 major projects between 2015 and 2019 and, on the other
hand, the improvement of the operational efficiency of the facilities.
In 2015, nine projects were started up. After 2020, TOTAL’s
objective for organic production growth of 1 to 2% is in line with
worldwide growth in demand for hydrocarbons.

2.1.1. Exploration and development

TOTAL evaluates exploration opportunities based on a variety of
geological, technical, political, economic (including taxes and
license terms) environmental and societal factors.

The exploration strategy deployed since 2015 aims to prioritize
drilling that creates value and resources. The Group expects more
balanced exploration investments:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)
(cid:129)

50% for core and emerging basins, where the presence of
hydrocarbons is already proven;
25% for near-field exploration around operated assets; and
25% for high-potential frontier basins.

In April 2015, a new organization for the Group’s exploration
activities, adapted to the new strategy, was implemented with a
new senior exploration management team. The organizational
changes are focused notably on strengthening regional basin
mastery and technical excellence.

In 2015, exploration expenditure from all Exploration & Production
subsidiaries stood at $1.9 billion (excluding exploration bonuses),
which were made mainly in the United States, Iraq, Norway, Brazil,
Papua New Guinea, Nigeria and the United Kingdom, compared to
$2.6 billion in 2014 and $2.9 billion in 2013. The 2016 exploration
budget is $1.5 billion.

Organic investments(1) from all Exploration & Production
subsidiaries stood at $20.5 billion in 2015, compared to $23 billion
in 2014 and $24 billion in 2013, and were mainly made in Angola,
Nigeria, the Republic of the Congo, Norway, Canada, Australia, the
United Kingdom, Russia, Kazakhstan, Indonesia, the United States
and Argentina.

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 recoverable under existing
regulatory, economic and operating conditions.

TOTAL’s oil and gas reserves are consolidated annually, taking
into account, among other factors, levels of production, field
reassessments, additional reserves from discoveries and
acquisitions, disposal of reserves and other economic factors.

Unless otherwise indicated, any reference to TOTAL’s proved
reserves, proved developed reserves, proved undeveloped
reserves and production reflects the Group’s entire share of such
reserves or such production. TOTAL’s worldwide proved reserves
include the proved reserves of its consolidated subsidiaries 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 things:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

internal peer review of technical evaluations to ensure that the
SEC definitions and guidance are followed; and
that management makes significant funding commitments
towards the development of the reserves prior to booking.

For further information concerning the reserves and their
evaluation process, see sections 1 and 2 of “Supplemental Oil
and Gas Information (Unaudited)”.

Proved reserves for 2015, 2014 and 2013

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 reference
prices for 2015, 2014 and 2013 were, respectively, $54.17/b,
$101.27/b and $108.02/b for Brent crude.

As of December 31, 2015, TOTAL’s combined proved reserves of
oil and gas were 11,580 Mboe (53% of which were proved
developed reserves). Liquids (crude oil, condensates, natural gas
liquids and bitumen) represented approximately 48% of these
reserves and natural gas the remaining 52%. These reserves were
located in Europe (mainly in Norway and the United Kingdom),
Africa (mainly in Angola, Gabon, Nigeria and the Republic of the
Congo), the Americas (mainly in Canada, Argentina, the United
States and Venezuela), the Middle East (mainly in Qatar, the United
Arab Emirates and Yemen), and Asia-Pacific (mainly in Australia),
and in Kazakhstan and Russia.

Discoveries of new fields and extensions of existing fields brought
an additional 2,762 Mboe to the Upstream segment’s proved
reserves during the 3-year period ended December 31, 2015
(before deducting production and sales of reserves in place and
adding any acquisitions of reserves in place during this period).
The net level of reserve revisions during this 3-year period is

(1)

2015 Form 20-F TOTAL S.A.

11

Item 4 - B.2. Upstream Segment

+244 Mboe, which was due to the overall positive revisions in field
behaviors, a scope change in two projects in 2013, the impairment
of two assets in Libya in 2015 due to the degradation of the
security situation and to the positive impact of the decrease in
hydrocarbon prices in 2015 that led to a reserves increase on
fields with production sharing or service contracts and on
Canadian bitumen fields (royalty effect), which was partially offset
by the reserves decrease resulting from the suspension or
cancellation due to economic reasons of capital expenditures
associated with, or from shorter producing life of, certain
producing fields.

As of December 31, 2014, TOTAL’s combined proved reserves of
oil and gas were 11,523 Mboe (50% of which were proved
developed reserves) compared to 11,526 Mboe (49% of which
were proved developed reserves) as of December 31, 2013.
Liquids (crude oil, condensates, natural gas liquids and bitumen) at
year-end 2014 represented approximately 46% of these reserves
and natural gas the remaining 54% and, at year-end 2013,
approximately 47% of these reserves and natural gas the
remaining 53%.

–

Sensitivity to oil and gas 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
TOTAL’s reserves as of December 31, 2015). 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. As oil
prices decrease, more barrels are necessary to cover the same
amount of expenses. Moreover, the number of barrels recoverable
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 is partly offset by
a reduction of the duration over which fields can be produced
economically. However, the decrease in reserves due to this
reduction is generally less than the increase in reserves under
production sharing or risked service contracts due to such lower
prices. As a result, lower prices usually lead to an increase in
TOTAL’s reserves. In Canada, a decrease in the reference price
per barrel used as a reference for estimating proved reserves leads
to a decrease in the volume of royalties and, therefore, an increase
of the proved reserves, and vice versa.

Lastly, 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 of proved reserves.

2.1.3. Production

The average daily production of liquids and natural gas was
2,347 kboe/d in 2015 compared to 2,146 kboe/d in 2014 and
2,299 kboe/d in 2013. Liquids represented approximately 53%
and natural gas approximately 47% of TOTAL’s overall production
in 2015.

The tables on the following pages set forth TOTAL’s 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 rather than a 100% interest, with the balance
being held by joint venture partners (which may include other
international oil companies, state-owned oil companies or
government entities). The Group’s entities may frequently act as
operator (the party responsible for technical production) on
acreage in which it holds an interest. Refer to the table

12

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

“Presentation of production activities by region” on the following
pages for a presentation of the Group’s producing assets.

As in 2014 and 2013, substantially all of the liquids production
from TOTAL’s Upstream segment in 2015 was marketed by the
Trading & Shipping division of TOTAL’s Refining & Chemicals
segment (refer to the table “Trading’s crude oil sales and supply
and petroleum products sales” in “— 3.2.1. Trading & Shipping”,
below).

2.1.4. Delivery commitments

The majority of TOTAL’s natural gas production is sold under long-
term contracts. However, its North American production, and part
of its production from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and
Norway, is sold on 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 TOTAL’s long-term contracts, notably in Bolivia,
Indonesia, 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
2016-2018 to be 3,591 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 sections 1 and 2 of “Supplemental Oil and Gas
Information (Unaudited)”).

2.1.5. Contractual framework of activities

Licenses, permits and contracts governing the Group’s 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 and are sometimes
entered into 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
owns the assets and the facilities and is entitled to the entire
production. In exchange, the operating risks, costs and
investments are the oil company’s 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 or consortium 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 consortium agrees to undertake and finance all
exploration, development and production activities at its own risk.
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 company or consortium, 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 or even on the same block. Even though there
are other contractual models, TOTAL’s 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 cash monetary remuneration, agreed
by contract, which depends notably on field performance
parameters such as the amount of barrels produced.

Item 4 - B.2. Upstream Segment

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, TOTAL’s 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.

2.1.8. Main activities by geographic area

The information presented below describes the Group’s main
exploration and production activities by geographic area, without
detailing all of the assets held by TOTAL. The mentioned
capacities are expressed in 100%.

Africa

In 2015, TOTAL’s production in Africa was 678 kboe/d,
representing 29% of the Group’s overall production,
compared to 657 kboe/d in 2014 and 670 kboe/d in 2013.
The two main producing countries in Africa in 2015 were
Angola and Nigeria.

In Algeria, TOTAL’s production was 25 kboe/d during 2015,
compared to 20 kboe/d in 2014 and 21 kboe/d in 2013. All of the

Group’s production in Algeria comes from the Tin Fouyé Tabankort
(TFT) field (35%). TOTAL also has a 37.75% stake in the Timimoun
gas development project.

The development of the Timimoun field continued in 2015 with
engineering activities, the start of plant construction and drilling
preparation.

In Angola, where TOTAL is the leading oil operator in the
country(1), the Group’s production was 248 kboe/d in 2015
compared to 200 kboe/d in 2014 and 186 kboe/d in 2013. This
production comes from Blocks 17, 14 and 0.

(cid:129)

Deep offshore Block 17 (40%, operator) is TOTAL’s main
asset in Angola. It is composed of four major producing hubs:
Girassol, Dalia, Pazflor and CLOV. The latest greenfield
project, CLOV, started production in June 2014 and, since
September 2014, its production plateau of 160 kboe/d

Item 4 - B.2. Upstream Segment

has been maintained. In July 2015, Dalia Phase1A, a new
development in the Dalia field, started production.
On the ultra-deep offshore Block 32 (30%, operator), the
Kaombo project was launched in April 2014 to develop the
discoveries in the southeast part of the block via two FPSOs
(floating production storage and offloading facilities) with a
capacity of 115 kb/d each. The drilling campaign of 59 wells
began in October 2015 and production start-up is planned for
2017. The exploration and delineation of the center and north
parts of the block (outside Kaombo) is ongoing.
On Block 14 (20%)(1), production comes from the Tombua-
Landana and Kuito fields as well as the BBLT project,
comprising the Benguela, Belize, Lobito and Tomboco fields.
Block 14K (36.75%) is the offshore unitization zone between
Angola (Block 14) and the Republic of the Congo (Haute Mer
license). The Lianzi field, which was connected to the existing
BBLT platform (Block 14), started production at the end of
October 2015. The project is expected to reach a production
plateau of 40 kb/d. TOTAL’s interest in the unitized zone is
held 10% through Angola Block 14 BV and 26.75% through
Total E&P Congo.
On Block 0 (10%), the development of Mafumeira Sul was
approved by the partners and authorities in 2012. This project
constitutes the second development phase of the Mafumeira
field and is expected to start production by the end of 2016.
In April 2014, TOTAL sold its entire stake in Block 15/06
(15%).

In the Bas-Congo basin, TOTAL is the operator of exploration
Block 17/06 (30%). The Group relinquished Block 33 (58.67%,
operator) in November 2014.

In the Kwanza basin, deep offshore, TOTAL is also operator of
Blocks 25 (35%), 40 (40%) and 39 (7.5% following the finalization
of the sale of half of its stake in March 2015). TOTAL is also
developing its LNG activities through the Angola LNG project
(13.6%), which includes a gas liquefaction plant near Soyo
supplied by gas associated with production from Blocks 0, 14, 15,
17 and 18. LNG production started in June 2013, but various
technical incidents required the extended shutdown of the plant.
LNG production is expected to resume in 2016.

In Gabon, the Group’s production in 2015 was 59 kboe/d
compared to 58 kboe/d in 2014 and 59 kboe/d in 2013. The
Group’s exploration and production activities in Gabon were
primarily carried out by Total Gabon(2).

On the Anguille field (100%, operator), production of phase 3
of the redevelopment project (production capacity estimated
at 20 kboe/d) from the AGM Nord platform started in 2013
and 18 wells are operational today.
On the Torpille field (100%, operator), the data acquired
during the 3D seismic survey performed in 2014 is now being
processed.
On the deep-offshore Diaba license (42.5%, operator), an
exploration well (Diaman-1B), drilled in 2013, showed an
accumulation of gas and condensates. Additional seismic
data acquired at the end of 2014 on the western part of the
license is being processed and is expected to generate a full
inventory of the license’s prospectivity.
On the Nzeimbou (20%) license, the Igongo-1X well (which
revealed a multilayer accumulation of oil and gas) was

field in June 2015.

In Libya, where the security context remains unstable, the Group’s
production was 14 kb/d in 2015 compared to 27 kb/d in 2014 and
50 kb/d in 2013. This production comes from blocks located on
offshore areas 15, 16 and 32 (Al Jurf, 75%(3)), which have not been
affected by the security issues. Since the fourth quarter of 2014,
production as well as exploration activities have been stopped on
Mabruk — onshore areas 70 and 87 (75%(3)) — and on El Sharara
— onshore areas 129, 130 (30%(3)), and 130 and 131 (24%(3)). In
this environment of uncertainty, an impairment on the onshore
assets was booked in the 2015 Consolidated Financial
Statements.

In Morocco, the 3D seismic processing and interpretation studies
acquired in 2013 in the south of the block continued in the scope
of the reconnaissance authorization of Anzarane offshore, which
covers an ocean region of 100,000 km² and was allocated in
December 2011 to TOTAL by the ONHYM (National Office of
Hydrocarbons and Mines). The results of geological studies having
not been encouraging, the reconnaissance authorization, which
had been extended until December 2015, was not transformed
into an exploration license.

In Nigeria, the Group’s production, primarily offshore, was
245 kboe/d in 2015, compared to 257 kboe/d in 2014 and
261 kboe/d in 2013. This decrease is explained mainly by the sale
of interests in certain licenses of the Shell Petroleum Development
Company (SPDC) joint venture as well as by an upsurge of oil
bunkering activities since 2013. This has negatively affected
onshore production and has had an impact on the integrity of the
SPDC joint venture facilities as well as on the local environment.

TOTAL operates 5 of the 31 oil mining leases (OML) in which it has
interests and also holds interests in 4 oil prospecting licenses
(OPL).

Regarding the principal variations in TOTAL’s permits since 2013:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

TOTAL was granted approval by the authorities in 2013 to
increase its stake in OPL 285 from 26.67% to 60% and it
drilled the Ekpeyi-1 exploration well in 2015;
in 2013, TOTAL was granted approval by the authorities for
the renewal of OMLs 99, 100 and 102 for a period of
20 years;
on OML 138 (20%), the production of the offshore field Usan
reached 130 kboe/d in 2013. In 2014, two exploration wells,
Ukot South-2B and Ukot South-3, and an exploration well in
2015, Ukot South-4, led to three oil discoveries. The sale
process, launched in November 2012, could not be closed.
This asset is no longer accounted under “assets classified as
held for sale” (refer to Note 4D to the Consolidated Financial
Statements). TOTAL has ceased to be the operator of OML
138 since February 2014;
TOTAL sold its 10% interest in OMLs 18 and 29 (in 2015) and
OML 24 (in 2014), operated via the SPDC joint venture. In
addition, the sale process is underway for OML 25.

TOTAL continues to develop its operated assets, in particular:

(cid:129)

OML 58 (40%, operator, onshore): in the scope of its joint
venture with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
(NNPC), TOTAL has finalized the increase of gas production
capacity from 370 Mcf/d to 550 Mcf/d;

Stake held by the company Angola Block 14 BV (TOTAL 50.01%).
Total Gabon is a company under Gabonese law listed on Euronext Paris. TOTAL holds 58.28%, the Republic of Gabon holds 25% and the public float is 16.72%.
TOTAL’s stake in the foreign consortium.

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

OML 102 (40%, operator): in December 2014, TOTAL
stopped routine flaring on the Ofon field (Ofon phase 2
project). The gas associated with the production of oil is now
compressed and evacuated to shore and monetized via the
Nigeria LNG plant;
OML 130 (24%, operator): the development of the Egina field
(200 kboe/d capacity) launched in 2013 is underway. The
drilling campaign for 44 wells started at the end of 2014.
OML 99 (40%, operator): additional studies are underway for
the development of the Ikike field.

TOTAL is also developing LNG activities with a 15% stake in the
Nigeria LNG Ltd company, which owns a liquefaction plant with a
22 Mt/year total capacity. Assessments are underway for the
installation of an additional capacity of approximately 8.5 Mt/year.
In an effort to focus its activities, TOTAL is currently re-evaluating
its participation in the Brass LNG project, in which it holds a
20.48% interest.

The Group’s non-operated production in Nigeria comes mostly
from the SPDC joint venture in which TOTAL holds a 10% stake.
TOTAL also holds an interest in deep offshore OML 118 (12.5%).
On this lease in 2015, the Bonga field contributed 19 kboe/d to the
Group’s production. A unitization agreement for the Bonga South
West/Aparo discovery (10%) was submitted to the authorities in
2015.

In Uganda, a growth area for the Group and where TOTAL has
been present in the upstream since 2012, the Group has a
33.33% stake in the EA-1, EA-1A and EA-2 licenses and 28.33%
in the EA-3 license located in the region of Lake Albert. TOTAL is
the operator of licenses EA-1 and EA-1A and partner on the other
licenses.

On the EA-1 license, a drilling campaign, production tests and
3D seismic acquisition survey were carried out between 2012
and mid-2014. As of the end of 2014, five development plans
had been submitted to the authorities. In 2015, discussions
for the obtaining of production licenses were continued, and
development optimization studies were conducted in order to
start the project phase.
The EA-1A license expired in 2013 at the end of a drilling
campaign that resulted in one discovery (Lyec). With the
exception of the area relating to this discovery, the license
was relinquished to the authorities.
On the EA-2 license, the drilling campaign and production
tests started in 2012 were completed in 2014. Two
development plans were submitted to the authorities in 2013.
In 2015, discussions continued for the obtaining of production
licenses.
The development plan for Kingfisher field, located on the EA-3
production license, was approved by the authorities in 2013
and the work to develop the field continues.
In 2015, discussions were continued with the authorities of
Uganda in order to assess the best option for the layout for
the crude oil export pipeline to the Indian Ocean.

In the Republic of the Congo, the Group’s production was
87 kboe/d in 2015 compared to 95 kboe/d in 2014 and 93 kboe/d
in 2013. In December 2013, Qatar Petroleum International
Upstream (QPI) purchased a 15% stake in the capital of Total E&P
Congo, via a share capital increase of the subsidiary.

Rest of Africa
TOTAL also holds interests in exploration licenses in South Africa,
Côte d’Ivoire, Egypt, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritania,
Mozambique and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and is
negotiating with the authorities with the view to resume exploration
activities in the Republic of South Sudan.

North America
In 2015, TOTAL’s production in North America was
103 kboe/d, representing 4% of the Group’s total
production, compared to 90 kboe/d in 2014 and 73 kboe/d in
2013.
In Canada, the Group’s production was 14 kboe/d in 2015
compared to 12 kboe/d in 2014 and 13 kboe/d in 2013. This
production comes entirely from TOTAL’s 50% stake in the
Surmont project developed by SAGD(1). Phase 2 of the project was
commissioned in September 2015 and at the end of the ramp-up
in 2017, the project is expected to have a total capacity of
approximately 150 kb/d (75 kb/d in Group share).
Construction of the second oil sands project in which TOTAL has a
stake, the Fort Hills mining project, has progressed on time and
within budget. At a more than 50% completion rate as at the end
of 2015, production from Fort Hills is expected to start toward the
end of 2017. As a result of a full comparative analysis of its global
asset portfolio in the context of lower oil prices, the Group decided
in 2015 to reduce its exposure to Canadian oil sands. In November
2015,TOTAL sold 10% of its 39.2% stake in the Fort Hills project
to the operator, reducing its interest to 29.2%. Following this
divestment, an impairment on the part of the asset sold was
booked in the 2015 Consolidated Financial Statements.
On the Joslyn (38.25%, operator) and Northern Lights (50%
operator) oil sands licenses, the projects were suspended and
works have been strictly limited to legal and contractual
obligations, and maintaining safety.
The Group booked an impairment of $2.2 billion on its oil sands
assets in its 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements.
In the United States, the Group’s production was 89 kboe/d in
2015 compared to 78 kboe/d in 2014 and 60 kboe/d in 2013.
In the Gulf of Mexico, TOTAL holds interests in the deep
(cid:129)
offshore fields Tahiti (17%) and Chinook (33.33%).
In 2015, the TOTAL (40%) – Cobalt (60%, operator) alliance,
formed in 2009 for exploration in the Gulf of Mexico, carried
out further drilling to evaluate the size of the North Platte
discovery.
TOTAL is also present in shale gas production in the United
States through its 25% stake in two joint ventures operated
by Chesapeake in the Barnett (Texas) and Utica (Ohio) basins.

(cid:129)

2015 Form 20-F TOTAL S.A.

Item 4 - B.2. Upstream Segment

Drilling activity in these basins was greatly reduced in 2015
due to the decrease in the price of gas and related liquids. In
Barnett, four wells were drilled in 2015 compared to 40 in
2014 and approximately 60 in 2013. In Utica, the number of
drilling rigs employed has been reduced from nine to one in
2015 and TOTAL participated in eight wells with Chesapeake.
In 2014, approximately 170 wells were drilled by the joint
venture and over 200 were drilled in 2013.

Following successive decreases in gas prices in the United
States, impairments on shale gas assets were booked in the
2013, 2014 and 2015 Consolidated Financial Statements.

The R&D stage oil shale projects (in situ and ex situ production
technology) in which the Group holds a stake (through American
Shale Oil LLC, 55.7%, and the 50/50 joint venture with the
company Red Leaf Resources) including the development of the
Red Leaf pilot, have been deferred.

South America

In 2015, TOTAL’s production in South America was
152 kboe/d, representing 7% of the Group’s total
production, compared to 157 kboe/d in 2014 and 166 kboe/d
in 2013. The two main producing countries in South America
in 2015 were Argentina and Venezuela.

In Argentina, TOTAL operated approximately 30%(1) of the
country’s gas production in 2015. The Group’s production was
72 kboe/d in 2015 compared to 75 kboe/d in 2014 and 78 kboe/d
in 2013. From 2012, the Argentinean government concluded gas
price agreements with various producers under which the
government guarantees the price of gas for quantities above a
fixed production level in exchange for compliance with defined
production targets and applicable penalties (i.e., “deliver or pay”).
In 2013, TOTAL signed an agreement of this type for a period of
five years with retroactive effect from December 1, 2012.

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

In Tierra del Fuego, the Group operates the Carina and Aries
offshore fields (37.5%). A drilling campaign for two additional
wells off the existing platform was completed in 2015. The
Vega Pleyade field (37.5%, operator), where development
work was launched in 2013 (with a production capacity of
350 Mcf/d), started production in February 2016.
In the Neuquén basin, two pilot projects were launched
following positive initial results of the drilling campaign on its
mining licenses in order to assess its gas and shale oil
potential: one on the Aguada Pichana Block (27.3%,
operator) where production started mid-2015, and the other
on the Rincón la Ceniza Block (42.5%, operator).

In Bolivia, the Group’s production, mainly gas, was 28 kboe/d in
2015 compared to 30 kboe/d in 2014 and 28 kboe/d in 2013.
TOTAL is active on seven licenses: three production licenses at
San Alberto (15%), San Antonio (15%) and Block XX Tarija Oeste
(41%); two licenses in development phase, Aquio and Ipati (60%,
operator); and two exploration phase licenses, Rio Hondo
(50%) and Azero (50%, operator of the exploration phase).

(cid:129)

Following the discovery of the Incahuasi gas field, located in
the Ipati Block, TOTAL was granted approval by the
authorities to launch the first development phase of the
project, including the connection of three wells already drilled
in a 6.5 Mm³/d capacity processing plant. The project is
expected to start production mid-2016. In mid-2014, TOTAL
reduced its stake in Aquio and Ipati from 80% to 60%.

(cid:129)

In 2013, TOTAL acquired a 50% stake in the Azero
exploration license located in the Andean foothills, which
extends over an area of 7,800 km². The exploration period
began in June 2014.

In Brazil, a growth area for the Group, TOTAL acquired in 2013 a
20% stake in the Libra field, located in the Santos basin. The field
is located in the ultra-deep offshore (2,000 m) approximately
170 km off the coast of Rio de Janeiro and covers an area of
1,550 km². In 2014, a 50 kb/d capacity boat was reserved for long
duration production testing. In 2015, the drilling of two wells was
completed and one of two others started in the northwest and
center of the field.

The Group also holds stakes in 18 exploration licenses, following
the 2015 acquisition of a 50% stake in Blocks P-M 1269, 1271,
1351 and 1353 in the Pelotas basin.

In Venezuela, where TOTAL has been active since 1980, the
Group’s production was 52 kboe/d in 2015 as in 2014 and
compared to 48 kboe/d in 2013. TOTAL has stakes in
PetroCedeño (30.3%) and Yucal Placer (69.5%) as well as the
offshore exploration Block 4 of Plataforma Deltana (49%).

Development of the extra heavy oil field of PetroCedeño continues
in the southern area as in the main area (47 production wells were
drilled in 2015 compared to 86 in 2014 and 43 in 2013), as well as
the debottlenecking project for the water separation and treatment
facilities.

In the Yucal Placer field, following the signature of an amendment
to the gas sale contract, a new development phase was launched
in 2012. In April 2014, the field’s production increased following
the commissioning of new clusters and the debottlenecking of the
existing gas processing train (production capacity of150 Mcf/d in
2015).

Rest of South America

TOTAL also holds interests in exploration licenses in Aruba,
Colombia, French Guiana and Uruguay.

In Brunei, TOTAL operates the offshore Maharaja Lela
Jamalulalam gas and condensate field located on Block B (37.5%).
The Group’s production was 15 kboe/d in 2015 as in 2014 and
compared to 13 kboe/d in 2013. The gas is delivered to the Brunei
LNG liquefaction plant.

A study regarding the additional development of the southern part
of the gas field (Maharaja Lela South) was completed in 2013. The
project was launched in early 2014 with the signature of most of
the contracts and the 20-year extension on the existing license.
Onshore, a first debottlenecking phase for the production
processing plant was completed in 2015, increasing production by
20%. Offshore, the installation of a third platform was completed at
the end of 2015 and the drilling campaign started in February
2016. The first wells are expected to be put into production in
2016.

Studies are currently being conducted to reassess the potential of
the deep offshore exploration Block CA1 (where TOTAL is
operator), which includes the Jagus East discovery. Following the
decision of two partners to sell their interest in the block, TOTAL
decided to exercise its preemptive right, bringing its stake from
54% to 86.9%. A well was drilled in November 2015, and has
confirmed the connection of the Jagus East field with the
Gumusut-Kakap reservoirs in Malaysia. Discussions of the terms of
the unitization are underway between the two countries and an
agreement should be reached in 2016.

In China, TOTAL has been active since 2006 on the South Sulige
Block, located in the Ordos Basin in the Inner Mongolia province.
The Group’s production was 11 kboe/d in 2015 compared to
12 kboe/d in 2014 and 8 kboe/d in 2013. Following appraisal work
by TOTAL, China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) and
TOTAL agreed to a development plan under which CNPC is the
operator and TOTAL holds a 49% stake. This development plan
was approved by the authorities in 2014. The drilling of
development wells is ongoing.

In 2013, TOTAL signed a joint study agreement with Sinopec for
potential shale gas on the Xuancheng license (4,000 km²) near
Nanjing. A 2D seismic survey was performed in 2014 and the
drilling of an exploration well was completed in 2015.

In Indonesia, the Group’s production was 147 kboe/d in 2015
compared to 130 kboe/d in 2014 and 131 kboe/d in 2013.

TOTAL’s operations in Indonesia are primarily concentrated on the
Mahakam license (50%, operator), which in particular includes the
Peciko and Tunu gas fields. TOTAL also has a stake in the Sisi-
Nubi gas field (47.9%, operator). The Mahakam license expires in
December 2017. The Indonesian government has decided to

Item 4 - B.2. Upstream Segment

allocate 100% of the participating interest to Pertamina (operator)
from January 1, 2018 onwards, while giving Pertamina the
possibility to farm-out a maximum interest of 30% to TOTAL and
its current partner, INPEX. The Group delivers most of its natural
gas production to the Bontang LNG plant. These volumes of gas
represented approximately 80% of the Botang plant’s supply in
2015. To this gas production was added the operated production
of oil and condensates from the Handil and Bekapai fields.

On the Mahakam license, the works aimed at maintaining
production on the Tunu, Peciko, South Mahakam, Sisi-Nubi
and Bekapai fields are ongoing.
On the Sebuku (15%) license, production startup of the Ruby
gas field took place in 2013, with a production capacity of
approximately 100 Mcf/d. Production is routed via pipeline for
processing and separation at the Senipah terminal (operated
by TOTAL).
TOTAL also holds stakes in two exploration blocks: Mentawai
(80%, operator) and Telen (100%).
In addition, the Group holds stakes in blocks with no activity:
Sadang (30%), Sageri (50%), Arafura Sea (24.5%), Amborip VI
(24.5%), South Mandar (49.3%), South West Bird’s Head
(90%, operator) and South East Mahakam (50%, operator).
Early in 2015, the Group sold its stake in the two coal bed
methane (CBM) blocks located in the East Kalimantan
province, Kutai II (18.4%) and Kutai Timur (50%).

In Myanmar, the Group’s production was 19 kboe/d en 2015
compared to 17 kboe/d in 2014 and 16 kboe/d in 2013.

The Yadana field (31.2%, operator), located on the offshore Blocks
M5 and M6, primarily produces gas for delivery to PTT (Thai state-
owned company) for use in Thai power plants. The Yadana field
also supplies the domestic market via two pipelines built and
operated by MOGE, a Myanmar state-owned company. The LCP-
Badamyar project, which includes the installation of the Badamyar
field compression and development platform connected to the
Yadana facilities, was launched in September 2014.

In 2014, the Group was awarded the deep offshore Block YWB
(100%, operator) during the offshore round launched by the local
authorities. The PSC was signed in February 2015.

In October 2015, the Group sold its stake in the offshore Block
M11 (47.06%) and entered in exploration license A6 (40%) in the
deep offshore area west of Myanmar. A first well was drilled in
December 2015 on which a natural gas discovery has been made
and is currently under evaluation.

In Papua New Guinea, where TOTAL has been active since
2012, the Group acquired in March 2014 a stake in Block PRL-15
(40.1%). TOTAL became the operator in August 2015. The State
of Papua New Guinea retains the right to enter the license (when
the final investment decision is made) at a maximum level of
22.5%. In this case, TOTAL’s stake would be reduced to 31.1%.

Block PRL-15 includes the two discoveries Elk and Antelope,
growth areas for the Group. A delineation program of these
discoveries is underway. The results of the first wells drilled have
confirmed the level of resources in the Elk and Antelope fields.
TOTAL has also started development studies in the Elk and
Antelope fields, including on the construction of an onshore gas
liquefaction plant. In July 2015, the location of the various
production sites was announced to the authorities.

In Thailand, the Group’s production was 62 kboe/d in 2015
compared to 60 kboe/d in 2014 and 63 kboe/d in 2013. This comes
from the offshore gas and condensate field of Bongkot (33.33%). PTT
(Thai state-owned company) purchases all of the natural gas and

TOTAL also holds interests in exploration licenses in Malaysia and
the Philippines.

Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)

In 2015, TOTAL’s production in the CIS was 290 kboe/d,
representing 12% of the Group’s total production,
compared to 249 kboe/d in 2014 and 227 kboe/d in 2013.
The main producing country in the CIS in 2015 was Russia.

In Kazakhstan, TOTAL holds a stake in the North Caspian license
(16.81%), which covers the Kashagan field.

The production of the first phase of the Kashagan project
(300 kb/d), started in September 2013, was halted in October
2013 due to leaks detected in the gas export pipeline. The two gas
and oil export pipelines are being replaced by the operator. The
works progress according to plan and production is expected to
resume in December 2016.

TOTAL is the operator of the Nurmunaï North and South onshore
exploration licenses (51.1%, after the sale of 23.9% of interests in
February 2015) located in the southwest of the country. The drilling
of two exploration wells (the first on the Nurmunai North license
and the second on the Nurmunaï South license) was performed
between February and October 2015. The results are being
analyzed.

In Russia, where, as of December 31, 2015, the Group holds
19% of its proved reserves, the Group’s production was
290 kboe/d in 2015 compared to 235 kboe/d in 2014 and
207 kboe/d in 2013. This production comes from the Kharyaga
and Termokarstovoye fields and TOTAL’s stake in OAO Novatek
(18.9% as of December 31, 2015). In 2015, Russia became the
leading contributor to the Group’s production.

In 2014, international economic sanctions associated with the
situation in Ukraine were adopted by the United States, the
European Union and other countries. TOTAL complies with
sanctions applicable to its activities. For further information, refer to
“Item 3 —C. Risk Factors”, above.

On the Kharyaga (40%, operator) project, the works relating to the
development plan of phases 3 and 4 are ongoing though they
slowed in 2015 after a dispute with the main contractor, which
was settled at the end of 2015. In addition, in January 2016,
TOTAL signed an agreement for the sale of a 20% interest and the
transfer of operatorship of the field. This sale is expected to take
effect in the second quarter of 2016, subject to the approval of the
authorities.

In addition to its shareholding in Novatek, TOTAL currently
participates via a direct stake in two projects with Novatek:

Termokarstovoye (an onshore gas and condensates field,
located in the Yamalo-Nenets region): the development and
production license of Termokarstovoye field is held by ZAO
Terneftegas, a joint venture between Novatek (51%) and
TOTAL (49%). This field, which started production in May
2015, reached its capacity of 65 kboe/d in September 2015;
and
Yamal LNG: in December 2013 the company OAO Yamal
LNG(1) launched the project, aimed at developing the onshore

field of South Tambey (gas and condensates) located on the
Yamal peninsula and at building a three-train gas liquefaction
plant with total LNG capacity of 16.5 Mt/y. The financing plan
for the Yamal LNG project is being reviewed, and the
project’s partners are engaged in efforts to develop a
financing plan in compliance with the applicable regulations.
In 2015, the project advanced satisfactorily according to
schedule.

The exploration project on the Bazhenov field (shale oil) in the
Kanthy Mansiysk region has been suspended since 2014. In 2015,
TOTAL transferred all of its rights in the awarded licenses to a
subsidiary of the partner of the project.

For further information on international economic sanctions, refer
to “Item 3 — C. Risk Factors”, above.

Rest of CIS

TOTAL also holds interests in exploration licenses in Azerbaijan
and Tajikistan.

Europe

In 2015, TOTAL’s production in Europe was 374 kboe/d,
representing 16% of the Group’s total production,
compared to 364 kboe/d in 2014 and 392 kboe/d in 2013.
The two main producing countries in Europe in 2015 were
Norway and the United Kingdom.

In Denmark, TOTAL (80%, operator) acquired in 2010 two shale
gas exploration licenses in order to assess their potential. On the
1/10 (Nordjylland) license, a vertical exploration well without
hydraulic fracturing drilled in 2015 revealed the presence of gas,
but the quantities were not sufficient to consider economically
viable production. The Group is moving forward with restoration
works on the drilling site, which will be rehabilitated in compliance
with environmental obligations as required by Danish law. The 2/10
(Nordsjaelland) license was relinquished in July 2015 due to lower
than expected estimated potential for the Group.

In France, the Group’s production ended with the sale in October
2014 of the Lacq concessions to Geopetrol. Production in 2014
was 2 kboe/d compared to 9 kboe/d in 2013. The Montélimar
exclusive research license granted to TOTAL in 2010 for evaluating
the shale gas potential of this area was repealed by the
government in 2011. In January 2016, further to the appeal filed in
2011, the administrative court canceled the revocation of the
license deciding the Group had fulfilled its obligations.

In Italy, TOTAL holds a stake in two exploration licenses and in the
Tempa Rossa field (50%, operator), discovered in 1989 and
located on the Gorgoglione concession (Basilicate region).
Development of the Tempa Rossa project is underway.

In Norway, TOTAL has equity stakes in 97 production licenses on
the Norwegian maritime continental shelf, 31 of which it operates.
The Group’s production in 2015 was 239 kboe/d compared to
242 kboe/d in 2014 and 243 kboe/d in 2013.

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

In the Greater Ekofisk area, the Group holds a 39.9% stake in
the Ekofisk and Eldfisk fields. Production at Ekofisk South
started in 2013 and at Eldfisk II in January 2015 (capacity of
70 kboe/d each).
In the Sleipner area, development of the Gina Krog field
located in the north of Sleipner and approved in 2013 is
underway. The Group’s stake, currently 30% (after the sale of

The OAO Yamal LNG company is owned by Novatek (60%), Total E&P Yamal (20%), and CNODC (20%), a subsidiary of China National Petroleum Corporation. Novatek’s
investment in the company OAO Yamal LNG is to be reduced to 50.1% following an agreement signed in September 2015 for the entry of the Silk Road Fund (9.9%). This
agreement is expected to be approved by the authorities in 2016.

8% in 2014), is expected to be reduced to 15% after the
finalization of the sale of 15% announced in October 2015.
In the Greater Hild area, the Martin Linge field (51%, operator,
estimated capacity 80 kboe/d) is currently being developed.
In the Haltenbanken region, the first sub-marine compression
train in the world was commissioned on the Åsgard project
(7.7%) in September 2015.
In the Barents Sea, the Group holds an 18.4% stake in the
gas liquefaction plant of Snøhvit (capacity of 4.2 Mt/y). This
plant is supplied with gas from the Snøhvit, Albatross and
Askeladd fields.

In the Netherlands, TOTAL currently holds interests in 24
offshore production licenses, including 20 that it operates, and 2
offshore exploration licenses, E17c (16.92%) and K1c (30%). In
2015, the Group’s production was 28 kboe/d compared to 31
kboe/d in 2014 and 35 kboe/d in 2013.

In the United Kingdom, the Group’s production was 107 kboe/d
in 2015 compared to 89 kboe/d in 2014 and 105 kboe/d in 2013.
Approximately 90% of this production comes from operated fields
in two main areas: the Alwyn area in the northern North Sea, and
the Elgin/Frankin area in the Central Graben.

(cid:129)

In the Alwyn area (100%), production from the Alwyn and
Dunbar fields represents 20% and 25% of production,
respectively. The rest of the production comes from satellites:

1)

2)

linked to Alwyn by subsea tieback: the Forvie gas and
condensates field joined by the Jura and Islay fields and
the Nuggets gas field network, which started to produce
in cyclic mode at the end of 2015;
linked to Dunbar: the Ellon (oil and gas) and the Grant
(gas and condensates) fields.

The natural decline of the Alwyn field’s production was partially
compensated by the start-up of new reservoir compartments. A
system for improving recovery, the concentric gas lift, was installed
in three Alwyn wells in 2014.

On the Dunbar field (100%), a new development phase (Dunbar
phase IV) is underway, which includes three well work-overs and
the drilling of six new wells. Drilling on the first well, D14, started in
April 2015.

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

In Central Graben, TOTAL holds stakes in the Elgin, Franklin
and West Franklin fields (46.2%, operator). A redevelopment
project involving the drilling of five new infill wells on Elgin and
Franklin started in July 2013. The first well is currently being
drilled. In addition, the West Franklin Phase II development
project continued with the start-up of production of two new
wells in 2015.
A third area, West of Shetland, is currently under
development. This includes the fields of Laggan, Tormore,
Edradour and Glenlivet (operator with 60%, following the sale
of 20% of its interests carried out in 2015) and the P967
license, including the discovery of gas at Tobermory (30%,
operator). Production of the Laggan and Tormore fields
started in February 2016. Production of the Edradour and
Glenlivet fields is expected to start in 2017 and 2018,
respectively, with an expected total capacity of 90 kboe/d.

An impairment on gas assets in the United Kingdom was booked
in the 2015 Consolidated Financial Statements.

In 2014, TOTAL acquired a 40% stake in two onshore shale gas
exploration and production licenses (PEDL 139 and 140) located in
the Gainsborough Trough basin of the East Midlands, and signed

Item 4 - B.2. Upstream Segment

an agreement enabling the Group to acquire a 50% stake in the
PEDL 209 license located in the same area. A 3D seismic survey
was performed on the PEDL 139 and 140 licenses. In August
2015, an agreement was signed for the sale of interests held by
TOTAL E&P UK in transport pipelines (FUKA and SIRGE) and the
St. Fergus terminal. The transfer is expected to take effect in the
first half of 2016.

Rest of Europe

TOTAL also holds interests in exploration licenses in Bulgaria and
Cyprus.

Middle East

In 2015, TOTAL’s production in the Middle East was
492 kboe/d, representing 21% of the Group’s total
production, compared to 391 kboe/d in 2014 and 536 kboe/d
in 2013. The two main producing countries in the Middle
East in 2015 were the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.

In the United Arab Emirates, the Group’s production was
287 kboe/d in 2015 compared to 127 kboe/d in 2014 and
260 kboe/d in 2013. The Group holds, since January 1, 2015, a
10% stake in the Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Petroleum
Operations Ltd. (ADCO) concession for a period of 40 years, which
follows a previous onshore concession. This concession covers
the 15 main onshore fields of Abu Dhabi and represents more than
half of the Emirate’s production.

TOTAL holds a 75% stake (operator) in the Abu Al Bukhoosh field
and a 13.3% stake in Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company
(ADMA-OPCO), which operates two fields offshore Abu Dhabi.
TOTAL also holds a 15% stake in Abu Dhabi Gas Industries
(GASCO), which produces NGL and condensates from the
associated gas produced by ADCO. In addition, TOTAL holds 5%
of the Abu Dhabi Gas Liquefaction Company (ADGAS), which
processes the associated gas produced by ADMA-OPCO 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 ADGAS.

The Group holds a 24.5% stake in Dolphin Energy Ltd. in
partnership with Mubadala, a company owned by the government
of Abu Dhabi, in order to market gas produced in Qatar primarily to
the United Arab Emirates.

The Group also owns 33.33% of Ruwais Fertilizer Industries
(FERTIL), which produces urea. The FERTIL 2 project commenced
operations in 2013, enabling FERTIL to increase its production
capacity to 2 Mt/y.

In Iraq, the Group’s production in 2015 was 18 kboe/d compared
to 12 kboe/d in 2014 and 7 kboe/d in 2013.

On the Halfaya field in Missan province, following the completion of
a negotiation in October 2014, TOTAL’s stake increased from
18.75% to 22.5% in the consortium that was awarded the
development and production contract. Production of phase 1 of
the project started in 2012 and phase 2 started in 2014, enabling
production to reach 200 kb/d in the second half of 2014. In 2015,
amid low barrel prices, the commencement of EPCC contracts
(engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning) of
phase 3 of the project (to increase production to 400 kb/d) was
postponed.

In Iraqi Kurdistan, TOTAL holds stakes in several exploration
blocks.

Item 4 - B.2. Upstream Segment

In Oman, the Group’s production in 2015 was 36 kboe/d, stable
compared to 2014 and 2013. TOTAL participates in the
production of oil principally in Block 6 (4%)(1), but also in Block 53
(2%). The Group also produces LNG through its investments in the
Oman LNG (5.54%)/Qalhat LNG (2.04%)(2) liquefaction complex,
with an overall capacity of 10.5 Mt/y. The ultra-deep offshore
Block 41 license, obtained in 2013, was relinquished in February
2015 following disappointing results.

In Qatar, the Group’s production was 134 kboe/d in 2015
compared to 132 kboe/d in 2014 and 137 kboe/d in 2013.

The Group operates the Al Khalij field (40% operator) and
participates in the production, processing and exporting of gas
from the North Field due to investments in the Qatargas 1 and
Qatargas 2 LNG plants and in Dolphin Energy.

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

Qatargas 2 (16.7%): the production capacity of train 5 of
Qatargas 2 stood at 8 Mt/y. TOTAL offtakes part of the LNG
produced under the 2006 contracts that provide for the
purchase of 5.2 Mt/y of LNG by the Group. In addition, the
Group holds a stake in the Qatargas 1 liquefaction plant
(10%) as well as a stake in the corresponding upstream Block
NFB (20%).
Dolphin Energy (24.5%): the production contract for the
Dolphin gas project, signed in 2001 with Qatar Petroleum,
provides for the sale of 2 Bcf/d of gas from the North Field for
a 25-year period. The gas is processed in the Dolphin plant in
Ras Laffan and exported to the United Arab Emirates through
a 360 km gas pipeline.

In Syria, TOTAL has a 100% stake in the Deir Ez Zor license,
which is operated by the joint venture company DEZPC in which
TOTAL and the state-owned company SPC each have a 50%
share. Additionally, TOTAL is holder of the Tabiyeh contract which
came into effect in 2009. The Group has had no production in the
country since December 2011, when TOTAL suspended its
hydrocarbon production activities in Syria in compliance with the
EU’s regulations regarding this country. For further information
regarding international economic sanctions, refer to “Item 3 —
C. Risk Factors”, above.

In Yemen, the Group’s production was 17 kboe/d in 2015
compared to 84 kboe/d in 2014 and 95 kboe/d in 2013.

Due to the further deterioration in the security situation in the
vicinity of its Balhaf site, the company Yemen LNG, in which the
Group holds a 39.62% stake, decided to stop its commercial LNG
production and export activities. The plant is in a preservation
mode. As a consequence of this situation, Yemen LNG declared
Force Majeure to its various stakeholders in early April 2015.

The PSA of Block 10 (Masila Basin, East Shabwa permit, 28.57%,
operator) expired in late December 2015, and the license was
returned to the Yemeni authorities. TOTAL is a partner in Block 5
(Marib basin, Jannah license, 15%) and holds various stakes in
four onshore exploration licenses.

Item 4 - B.2. Upstream Segment

2.2. Gas

The activities of Gas, formerly known as Gas & Power, have a
primary objective of contributing to the growth of the Group by
ensuring sales outlets for TOTAL’s current and future natural gas
production.

Beyond the production and liquefaction of natural gas (refer to
“—2.1. Exploration & Production”, above), TOTAL actively markets
natural gas, which is sold either by pipeline or in the form of
liquefied natural gas (LNG) and develops a downstream portfolio for
its trading and shipping activities, as well as regasification terminals.

In order to enhance the value of the Group’s gas resources, the
activities of Gas also include the trading and marketing of natural
gas, LNG, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and electricity as well as
shipping of LNG and LPG. The Group also has stakes in
infrastructure companies (including regasification terminals, natural
gas transportation and storage, and power plants) necessary to
implement its strategy.

2.2.1. Purchases, sales and shipping of liquefied natural

gas (LNG)

A pioneer in the LNG industry, TOTAL is today one of the world’s
leading players(1) in the sector and has sound and diversified
positions both in the upstream and downstream portions of the
LNG chain. LNG development is a key element of the Group’s
strategy, strengthening its positions in most major production
zones and markets.

Through its stakes in liquefaction plants located in Qatar, the
United Arab Emirates, Oman, Nigeria, Norway, Yemen, Angola and
Australia and its gas supply agreement with the Bontang LNG
plant in Indonesia, the Group markets LNG in all global markets. In
2015, the share of LNG production sold by TOTAL has decreased
to 10.2 Mt, compared to 12.2 Mt in 2014 and 12.3 Mt in 2013.
This reduction is connected to the force majeure declared in April
2015 for the Yemen LNG joint venture due to the deterioration of
security conditions. The growth of LNG production sold by TOTAL
over the coming years is expected to be ensured by the Group’s
liquefaction projects under construction in Australia and Russia
and by projects being studied, including a new project in Papua
New Guinea and the expansion of the Nigeria LNG plant.

–

Long-term Group LNG purchases and sales

TOTAL acquires long-term LNG volumes mainly from liquefaction
projects in which the Group holds an interest, including Qatargas 2
(Qatar), Yemen LNG (Yemen), Nigeria LNG (Nigeria) and Snøhvit
(Norway). These volumes support the expansion of the Group’s
worldwide LNG portfolio.

Since 2009, a growing portion of the long-term volume purchased
by the Group that was initially intended for delivery to North
American and European markets has been diverted to more
buoyant Asian markets.

New LNG sources are expected to support the growth of the
Group’s LNG portfolio, including Ichthys LNG (Australia), Yamal
LNG(2) (Russia), trains 3 and 5 of Sabine Pass LNG (United States)
and Cameron LNG (United States).

TOTAL has entered into several significant long-term agreements
throughout the world for the sale of LNG from the Group’s global
LNG portfolio, notably in China, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore,
South Korea and Spain.

LNG shipping

As part of its LNG transport activities, TOTAL uses two long-term
chartered LNG tankers: since 2006, the Arctic Lady, with a
capacity of 145,000 m³; and since 2011, the Meridian Spirit, with a
capacity of 165,000 m³, primarily for the transport of volumes from
Snøhvit in Norway.

TOTAL continues to develop its fleet. The Group also signed a
long-term charter agreement in 2013 with SK Shipping and
Marubeni for two 180,000 m³ LNG tankers. The vessels will serve
to fulfill the purchase obligations of Total Gas & Power Limited,
including commitments relating to the Ichthys and Sabine Pass
projects. They will be among the largest LNG tankers to navigate
the Panama Canal after the canal’s expansion and are expected to
be delivered in 2017.

2.2.2.

Trading

In 2015, TOTAL continued its strategy downstream from natural
gas and LNG production by developing its trading, marketing and
logistics activities. The aim of this strategy is to optimize access for
the Group’s current and future production to markets supplied
based on long-term contracts and to markets open to international
competition (with short-term contracts and spot sales). The Group
also has operations in electricity trading and the marketing of LPG
and petcoke, and is disengaging from coal trading activities.

The trading teams, which are located in London, Houston, Geneva
and Singapore, conduct their business, in particular, through the
Group’s wholly-owned subsidiaries Total Gas & Power Limited,
Total Gas & Power North America and Total Gas & Power Asia.

–

Gas and electricity

TOTAL is pursuing gas and electricity trading operations in Europe
and North America in order to sell the Group’s production, to
supply its marketing subsidiaries and to support other entities of
the Group.

In Europe, TOTAL traded 849 Bcf (24.0 Bcm) of natural gas in
2015, compared to 911 Bcf (25.8 Bcm) in 2014 and 1,194 Bcf
(33.8 Bcm) in 2013. TOTAL also traded 41.1 TWh of electricity in
2015, compared to 44.8 TWh in 2014 and 53.0 TWh in 2013,
mainly from external resources.

In North America, TOTAL traded 441 Bcf (12.5 Bcm) of natural
gas in 2015 from its own production or from external resources,
compared to 593 Bcf (16.8 Bcm) in 2014 and 938 Bcf (26.6 Bcm)
in 2013.

–

LNG

TOTAL operates LNG trading activities through both spot sales
and long-term contracts such as those described in “— 2.2.1.
Purchases, sales and shipping of liquefied natural gas (LNG)”,
above. Significant sales and purchase agreements (SPAs) have
permitted appreciable development of the Group’s activities in
LNG trading, especially in the more buoyant markets in Asia
(China, South Korea, India and Japan). The spot and fixed-term
LNG portfolio allows TOTAL to supply gas to its main customers
worldwide, while retaining a sufficient degree of flexibility to react to
market opportunities.

(2) OAO Yamal LNG, which is developing the Yamal LNG project, is held by OAO Novatek (60%), Total E&P Yamal (20%) and CNODC (20%), a subsidiary of of China National
Petroleum Corporation. Novatek’s investment in the company OAO Yamal LNG is to be reduced to 50.1% following an agreement signed in September 2015 for the entry
of the Silk Road Fund (9.9%). This agreement is expected to be approved by the authorities in 2016. For information on international economic sanctions against Russia,

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

In 2015, TOTAL purchased 64 contractual cargoes from Qatar,
Yemen, Nigeria and Norway and 20 spot cargoes, compared to,
respectively, 88 and 7 in 2014 and 89 and 9 in 2013. The
interruption of deliveries from Yemen LNG led to increased LNG
trading activity on the spot market in 2015.

–

LPG

In 2015, TOTAL traded nearly 5.8 Mt of LPG (propane and butane)
worldwide, compared to 5.5 Mt in 2014 and 5.6 Mt in 2013.
Nearly 20% of these quantities come from fields or refineries
operated by the Group. This trading activity was conducted by
means of 7 time-chartered vessels. In 2015, 292 voyages were
necessary for transporting the negotiated quantities, including
196 journeys carried out by TOTAL’s time-chartered vessels and
96 journeys by spot-chartered vessels.

–

Petcoke

TOTAL has been trading petcoke produced since 2011 by the Port
Arthur refinery in the United States. Nearly 1.1 Mt of petcoke
were sold on the international market in 2015, compared to 1.3 Mt
in 2014 and 1.2 Mt in 2013.

In 2014, TOTAL began trading petcoke from the Jubail refinery in
Saudi Arabia. In 2015, nearly 720 kt were sold, compared to
100 kt in 2014.

Petcoke has been sold to cement plants and electricity producers
mainly in India, as well as in Turkey, Mexico, Brazil and other Latin
American countries.

2.2.3. Marketing

To consolidate its position throughout the value chain and to
leverage the synergies from the Group’s other activities, TOTAL
has been developing the business of marketing natural gas and
electricity to end users.

In the United Kingdom, TOTAL markets gas and electricity to the
industrial and commercial segments through its subsidiary Total
Gas & Power Ltd. In 2015, the volumes of gas sold was 140 Bcf
(4.0 Bcm), compared to 135 Bcf (3.8 Bcm) in 2014 and 142 Bcf
(4.0 Bcm) in 2013. Electricity sales were 6.0 TWh in 2015,
compared to 5.3 TWh in 2014 and 4.7 TWh in 2013.

In France, TOTAL operates in the natural gas market through its
marketing subsidiary Total Energie Gaz, the sales of which were
84 Bcf (2.4 Bcm) in 2015, compared to 95 Bcf (2.7 Bcm) in 2014
and 141 Bcf (4.0 Bcm) in 2013. This decrease in volumes is
explained by the strategic repositioning of the subsidiary on the
small and medium companies market.

In Germany, Total Energie Gas GmbH, a marketing subsidiary of
TOTAL, marketed 31 Bcf (0.9 Bcm) of gas in 2015 to industrial and
commercial customers, compared to 24 Bcf (0.7 Bcm) in 2014
and 14 Bcf (0.4 Bcm) in 2013.

In 2015, the volumes of gas delivered to the industrial and
commercial segments were 2 Bcf (0.1 Bcm) in Belgium (Total
Gas & Power Belgium) and 7 Bcf (0.2 Bcm) in the Netherlands
(Total Gas & Power Nederland B.V.), an increase with respect to
2014. These two subsidiaries started marketing gas in 2013.

In 2015, the natural gas marketing subsidiaries in France,
Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands extended their activities to
the marketing of electricity to industrial and commercial
consumers.

Item 4 - B.2. Upstream Segment

In Spain, TOTAL markets natural gas to the industrial and
commercial segments through Cepsa Gas Comercializadora, in
which it holds a 35% stake. In 2015, the volume of gas sold was
105 Bcf (3.0 Bcm), compared to 94 Bcf (2.7 Bcm) in 2014 and
101 Bcf (2.9 Bcm) in 2013.

In Argentina, the subsidiary Total Gas Marketing Cono Sur
oversees the marketing of gas on behalf of Total Austral, the
Group’s production subsidiary in Argentina.

The Group also holds stakes in the marketing companies that are
associated with the LNG regasification terminals located at
Altamira in Mexico and Hazira in India.

2.2.4. Gas facilities

Downstream from its natural gas and LNG production activities,
TOTAL holds stakes in natural gas transport networks, natural gas
storage facilities and LNG regasification terminals.

–

Transportation and storage of natural gas

The Group holds stakes in several natural gas transportation
companies located in Brazil and Argentina. These companies
are facing a difficult operational and financial environment in
Argentina.

In France, Géosud (TOTAL, 56.1%) is a joint venture that holds
50% of Géométhane. Located in Manosque, Géométhane owns
and operates several natural gas storage caverns operating since
1983. Starting in April 2015, the shareholders of Géosud jointly
developed a proposed sale covering 98% of the company’s
shares. The closing of this sale took place in the first quarter of
2016.

–

LNG regasification

TOTAL has entered into agreements to obtain long-term access to
LNG regasifcation capacity on three continents that represent the
largest consumers of natural gas: North America (United States
and Mexico), Europe (France and the United Kingdom) and Asia
(India). This diversified market presence allows the Group to
access new liquefaction projects by becoming a long-term buyer
of a portion of the LNG produced, thereby strengthening TOTAL’s
LNG supply portfolio.

In France, TOTAL holds a 27.5% stake in the company Fosmax
and has, through its subsidiary Total Gas & Power Limited., a
regasifcation capacity of 78 Bcf/y (2.25 Bcm/y). The terminal
received 46 vessels in 2015, compared to 46 in 2014 and 53 in
2013.

In 2011, TOTAL acquired a 9.99% stake in Dunkerque LNG in
order to develop an LNG receiving terminal with a capacity of 459
Bcf/y (13 Bcm/y). Trade agreements have also been signed that
allow TOTAL to reserve up to 2 Bcm/y of regasifcation capacity
over a 20-year term. The project is underway and commissioning
of the terminal is scheduled for 2016.

In the United Kingdom, through its equity interest in the Qatargas
2 project, TOTAL holds an 8.35% stake in the South Hook LNG
receiving terminal with a total capacity of 742 Bcf/y (21 Bcm/y) and
an equivalent access right to the regasifcation capacity. The
terminal received 84 cargoes in 2015, compared to 68 in 2014
and 52 in 2013.

In Mexico, TOTAL has reserved 25% of the regasifcation capacity
of the Altamira receiving terminal, i.e., 59 Bcf/y (1.7 Bcm/y),
through its 25% stake in Gas del Litoral.

Item 4 - B.3. Refining & Chemicals Segment

In the United States, TOTAL has reserved a regasification
capacity of approximately 353 Bcf/y (10 Bcm/y) in the Sabine Pass
terminal (Louisiana) for a 20-year period until 2029. In 2012,
TOTAL and Sabine Pass Liquefaction (SPL) signed agreements
allowing SPL to gradually obtain access to TOTAL’s reserved
capacity. Access to 38 Bcf/y commenced in 2012, growing to
195 Bcf/y from the start-up of train 3 and plateauing at
substantially all of TOTAL’s capacity from the start-up of train 5. In
return, SPL will pay TOTAL a fee linked to the capacity assigned.

In India, TOTAL holds a 26% stake in the Hazira receiving
terminal, the regasification capacity of which was increased to
244 Bcf/y (6.9 Bcm/y) in 2013. This terminal, located in the Gujarat
state, is a merchant terminal with operations that cover both LNG
regasification and gas marketing. Due to the Indian market’s
strong prospects for growth, a potential expansion project is under
study to increase the terminal’s capacity to 343 Bcf/y (9.7 Bcm/y).

combines electricity generation and water desalination. The plant,
in operation since 2003, currently has a net power generation
capacity of 1,600 MW and a water desalination capacity of
385,000 m³ per day. The plant’s production is sold to Abu Dhabi
Water and Electricity Company (ADWEC) as part of a long-term
agreement.

In Nigeria, TOTAL holds a stake in the Afam VI gas-fired
combined cycle power plant through its 10% interest in the Shell
Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) joint venture. This plant
is part of the government’s plan to develop power generation and
increase the share of natural gas production for domestic use.

In Thailand, TOTAL holds 28% of Eastern Power and Electric
Company Ltd which operates the Bang Bo gas-fired combined
cycle power plant with a capacity of 350 MW, commissioned in
2003. Production is sold to the Electricity Generating Authority of
Thailand (EGAT) under a long-term contract.

2.2.5. Electricity generation

2.2.6. Coal production and marketing

In a context of increasing global demand for electricity, TOTAL has
developed expertise in the power generation sector, especially
through cogeneration and combined-cycle power plant projects.

In Abu Dhabi, the Taweelah A1 gas-fired power plant, which is
owned by Gulf Total Tractebel Power Company (TOTAL, 20%),

3. REFINING & CHEMICALS SEGMENT

Following the completion of the sale, in August 2015, of its
subsidiary Total Coal South Africa, the Group ceased its coal
production activities. In addition, the Group has announced the
termination of its coal marketing activities in 2016.

Refining & Chemicals is a large industrial segment that encompasses refining, petrochemicals and specialty chemicals operations. It also
includes the activities of Trading & Shipping.

3.1. Refining & Chemicals

Refining & Chemicals includes the Group’s refining,
petrochemicals and specialty chemicals businesses.
(cid:129)

the petrochemicals business includes base petrochemicals
(olefins and aromatics) and polymer derivatives (polyethylene,
polypropylene, polystyrene and hydrocarbon resins); and
the specialty chemicals business includes elastomer
processing and electroplating chemistry.

(cid:129)

The volume of its Refining & Chemicals activities places TOTAL
among the top ten integrated chemical producers in the world(1).
Against the backdrop of rising worldwide demand for oil and
petrochemicals driven by non-OECD countries and the entry of
new capacities into the market, the strategy of Refining &
Chemicals, in addition to the priority given to safety and
environmental protection, involves:
(cid:129)

adapting production capacity to changes in demand in
Europe by concentrating investments on large integrated
platforms. The Group therefore plans to lower its capacity by
20% in Europe by the end of 2016 in comparison with 2011;
consolidating industrial means of production and searching
for opportunities for growth in the United States; and
strengthening TOTAL’s positions in Asia and the Middle East,
in particular to gain access to advantaged oil and gas
feedstocks and to benefit from market growth.

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

This strategy is underpinned by an effort to differentiate through
the technology used and innovation found in its products and
processes.

3.1.1. Refining & Petrochemicals

TOTAL’s refining capacity was 2,247 kb/d as of December 31,
2015, compared to 2,187 kb/d at year-end 2014 and 2,042 kb/d

at year-end 2013. TOTAL has equity stakes in 20 refineries
(including 9 operated by companies of the Group), located in
Europe, the United States, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.

The Refining & Chemicals segment manages refining operations
located in Europe (excluding TotalErg in Italy), the United States,
the Middle East and Asia, with a capacity of 2,168 kb/d at year-
end 2015 (96% of the Group’s total capacity(2)).

The petrochemicals businesses are located mainly in Europe, the
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, TOTAL’s petrochemical operations
are integrated within its refining operations, thereby maximizing
synergies.

The year 2015 saw the launch of plans to adapt the Lindsey
refinery in the United Kingdom and the La Mède refinery in France,
as well as the launch of a study to invest in the Donges refinery in
France. As part of its European refining and petrochemicals
capacity reduction and modernization plan, TOTAL ended steam
cracking on the Carling site in France in October 2015. At the
same time, the Group began to develop new polymer and
specialty resin activities on the site. Finally, TOTAL continued to
develop its major investment project launched in 2013 on the
Antwerp platform in Belgium.

As part of the active management of its business portfolio, TOTAL
finalized the sales of its stake in the Schwedt refinery (Germany) in
November 2015 and its majority interest in the capital of the
company Geosel (France) in December 2015. TOTAL completed in
December 2014 the sale of its subsidiary CCP Composites
(100%), which is active in the composite resins segment, and
finalized in 2013 the divestment of its Fertilizers activity (Base
Chemicals) in Europe.

Activities by geographic area

Europe

TOTAL is the largest refiner in Western Europe(1).

Western Europe accounts for 76% of the Group’s refining
capacity, i.e., 1,699 kb/d at year-end 2015, compared to
1,736 kb/d at year-end 2014 and at year-end 2013. The decrease
observed in 2015 is attributable to the sale of the Group’s stake in
the Schwedt refinery in Germany.

The Group operates eight refineries in Western Europe (one in
Antwerp, Belgium, five in France in Donges, Feyzin, Gonfreville,
Grandpuits and La Mède, one in Immingham in the United
Kingdom and one in Leuna, Germany) and owns stakes in the
Zeeland refinery in the Netherlands and the Trecate refinery in Italy
through its interest in TotalErg.

The Group’s 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), Feyzin (steam cracker, aromatics),
Gonfreville (steam crackers, aromatics, styrene, polyolefins,
polystyrene) and Lavéra (steam cracker, aromatics, polypropylene).
Europe accounts for 49% of the Group’s petrochemicals capacity,
i.e., 10,394 kt at year-end 2015, compared to 10,909 kt at year-
end 2014 and 10,899 kt at year-end 2013.

(cid:129)

In France, the Group continues to adapt its refining capacity
and to improve its operational efficiency against the backdrop
of structural decline in the demand for petroleum products in
Europe.

In April 2015, TOTAL announced a significant modernization
plan for its refining facilities in France, including:

–

–

in La Mède, a €200 million investment project to
transform the site and, in particular, to create the first
bio-refinery in France, while stopping the treatment of
crude oil at the end of 2016. The industrial
transformation of La Mède will allow TOTAL to respond
to the growing demand for biofuel in Europe. Other
activities, such as a logistics and storage platform, a
solar energy farm, a training center and an AdBlue
production plant(2), will also be developed on the site;
in Donges, a €400 million investment project for the
construction of intermediate feedstock desulfurization
units and hydrogen production units. The program, due
to be commissioned in 2019, requires the rerouting of
the railroad track that currently crosses the refinery. A
three-party memorandum of intent to fund this work
between the state, local authorities and TOTAL was
signed at the end of 2015.

In 2014, the Group completed its industrial plan, launched in
2009, to reconfigure the Gonfreville refinery in Normandy by
starting up a new diesel desulfurization unit. At the end of
2014, the Group launched a project to modernize the
specialties production scheme of the Normandy complex,
notably including a decrease in base oil production capacity
as of October 2015.

In petrochemicals, the Group announced an investment plan
in 2013 for the Carling platform in Lorraine, France, to adapt
its capacity and restore its competitiveness. As part of this
project, steam cracking ended in October 2015. New
hydrocarbon resin and compound polypropylene production

units are in the process of being built and are expected to be
commissioned in 2016.

In Germany, TOTAL operates the Leuna refinery (100%). In
November 2015, the Group completed the sale of its stake in
the Schwedt refinery (16.7%).

In petrochemicals, in February 2015, the Group acquired a
majority stake in Polyblend, a manufacturer of polyolefin
compounds that are mainly used in the automotive industry.

In Belgium, the Group launched a major project in 2013 to
modernize its Antwerp platform. This project consists of two
parts:

–

–

the construction of new conversion units, which are
expected to be completed in 2016, in response to the
shift in demand towards lighter oil products with a very
low sulfur content; and
the construction of a new unit to convert part of the
combustible gases recovered from the refining process
into raw materials for the petrochemical units.

As part of this modernization plan, two of the site’s oldest
production units were shut down: a steam cracker in 2013
and a polyethylene production line in 2014.

In Feluy, TOTAL built a unit that produces latest-generation
gray expandable polystyrene for the fast-growing insulation
market; the unit began production in 2014.

In the United Kingdom, in February 2015, TOTAL launched
a plan to adapt and secure the future of its Lindsey refinery. In
addition to shutting down one of the two crude distillation
units and associated units, which will reduce its capacity by
5 Mt/y, the plan aims to improve the conversion block, adapt
logistics operations and simplify the refinery’s organization.

In 2013, TOTAL shut down its 70 kt/y polystyrene production
site at Stalybridge, while continuing its commercial activity for
polymers.

North America

The Group’s main sites in North America are located in Texas, in
Port Arthur (refinery, steam cracker), Bayport (polyethylene) and La
Porte (polypropylene), and in Louisiana, in Carville (styrene,
polystyrene).

Located on the same site in Port Arthur, TOTAL wholly owns a
174 kb/d capacity refinery as well as a 40% stake in a condensate
splitter and a steam cracker (BASF Total Petrochemicals, BTP).
The Group is working to strengthen the synergies between these
two plants.

The new pipeline connecting the Port Arthur refinery to the Sun
terminal in Nederland was commissioned in 2014, facilitating
access to all domestic crudes, which are priced advantageously
compared to the international market. Following investments to
adapt its furnaces and the construction of a tenth ethane furnace,
which was commissioned in March 2014, BTP’s cracker can now
produce more than 1 Mt/year of ethylene, including more than
85% from advantaged feedstock (ethane, propane, butane). BTP
thus benefits from favorable market conditions in the United
States. In addition, in September 2015, TOTAL launched detailed
FEED studies for the construction of a new ethane steam cracker
with an ethylene production capacity of 1 Mt/year on the Port
Arthur site, in synergy with the refinery and BTP steam cracker.
The investment decision is expected to be made in 2016.

Asia and the Middle East

TOTAL is continuing to expand in growth areas and is developing
sites in countries with favorable access to raw materials.

In Saudi Arabia, TOTAL has a 37.5% stake in the company,
SATORP (Saudi Aramco Total Refining and Petrochemical
Company), which operates the Jubail refinery. This refinery, fully
operational since mid-2014, has a capacity of 400 kb/d and is
situated close to Saudi Arabia’s heavy crude oil fields. The
refinery’s configuration enables it to process these heavy crudes
and sell fuels and other light products that meet strict
specifications and are mainly intended for export. The refinery is
also integrated with petrochemical units: a 700 kt/y paraxylene
unit, a 200 kt/y propylene unit, and a 140 kt/y benzene unit.

In China, TOTAL holds a 22.4% stake in WEPEC, a company that
operates a refinery located in Dalian.

The Group is also active through its 200 kt/y capacity polystyrene
plant in Foshan in the Guangzhou region. In September 2014,
TOTAL successfully began production on a new 200 kt/y
polystyrene plant in Ningbo in the Shanghai region.

Finally, TOTAL is continuing to study a project in Inner Mongolia to
produce polyolefins from coal. This project, with a capacity of
approximately 800 kt/y of olefins, would use the innovative
methanol-to-olefins/olefins cracking process (MTO/OCP), which
the Group confirmed in 2013 on a demonstration unit in Feluy,
Belgium. The environmental impact assessment was submitted for
approval to the Ministry of the Environment in 2015.

In South Korea, TOTAL has a 50% stake in Hanwha Total
Petrochemicals Co., Ltd. (HTC), which operates a petrochemical
complex in Daesan (condensate splitter, steam cracker, styrene,
paraxylene, polyolefins). To keep up with growth in Asian markets,
two major construction projects were completed in 2014, thereby
doubling the site’s capacity compared to 2011. A new aromatics
unit (paraxlyne, benzene) supplied by a new condensate splitter, as
well as a new EVA unit were successfully started up in 2014. The
site’s paraxylene production capacity increased to 1.8 Mt/y as a
result of these new units.

In Qatar, the Group holds interests(1) in two ethane-based steam
crackers (Qapco, Ras Laffan Olefin Cracker (RLOC)) and four
polyethylene lines (Qapco, Qatofin), including the Qatofin linear
low-density polyethylene plant in Messaied with a capacity of 550
kt/y and a 300 kt/y low-density polyethylene line operated by
Qapco, which started up in 2012.

TOTAL holds a 10% stake in the Ras Laffan condensate refinery,
which has a capacity of 146 kb/d. The construction project to
double the refinery’s capacity started in 2014 and is expected to
be completed by the end of 2016.

In Singapore, the Group sold its 95 kt/y capacity polystyrene
production site in November 2014.

Development of new avenues for the production of
fuels and polymers

In addition to optimizing existing processes, TOTAL is exploring
new ways to monetize carbon resources, conventional or
otherwise (natural gas, biomass, waste). A number of innovative
projects are being examined that entail defining access to the
resource (nature, location, supply method, transport), the nature of
the molecules and target markets (fuels, lubricants,
petrochemicals, specialty chemicals) and the most appropriate,
efficient and environmentally-friendly conversion processes. With
regards to biomass transformation, TOTAL is involved in the
following projects:

Biomass to polymers

TOTAL is actively involved in the development of activities
associated with the conversion of biomass to polymers. The main
area of focus is the development of the production of new
molecules such as polylactic acid (PLA) and the development of
drop-in solutions, by incorporating biomass into the Group’s
existing units, for example hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) or
other hydrotreated vegetable oil co-products in a naphtha cracker.

Biomass to fuels

In Europe, TOTAL produces biofuel, namely hydrotreated
vegetable oils for incorporation into diesel, and ether produced
from ethanol and isobutene (ETBE) for incorporation into gasoline.

In 2015, the Group incorporated:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

in gasoline, 442 kt of ethanol(1) at its European refineries and
several depots(2); and
in diesel, 1,771 kt of FAME(3) or HVO at its European refineries
and several depots(2).

In addition, as part of the La Mède refinery transformation program
announced in April 2015, the Group will construct the first bio-
refinery in France in 2017. The Group intends to produce almost
500 kt/y of biofuel on this site, mainly high-quality biodiesel (HVO)
but also biojet and petrochemical bio-feedstocks. This will
therefore allow the La Mède plant to respond to the growing
biofuel market.

TOTAL is a member of the BioTFuel consortium, the objective of
which is to develop a chain for converting lignocellulose into
fungible, sulfur-free liquid products through gasification. The
construction of a pilot demonstration unit on the Dunkirk site in
France was launched in September 2014.

3.1.2. Speciality Chemicals

The specialty chemicals businesses include elastomer processing
(Hutchinson) and electroplating chemistry (Atotech). They primarily
serve the automotive, construction, electronics, aerospace and
convenience goods markets, for which marketing strategy,
innovation and customer service are key drivers. TOTAL markets
specialty products in more than 60 countries and intends to
develop by combining organic growth and targeted acquisitions.

Item 4 - B.3. Refining & Chemicals Segment

This development is focused on high-growth markets and the
marketing of innovative products with high added value that meet
the Group’s Sustainable Development approach.

In 2015, consolidated worldwide sales of specialty chemicals
activities (excluding Bostik) totaled €4.8 billion ($5.4 billion), a 9%
increase compared to 2014 and up 16% compared to 2013.

In February 2015, TOTAL finalized the divestment of its wholly-
owned subsidiary Bostik, specialized in adhesive chemicals. In
2014, Bostik had almost 4,900 employees over 48 production
sites in the world and its sales were €1.5 billion ($2 billion).

Elastomer processing

Hutchinson designs and supplies innovative and tailor-made
solutions to automotive and aircraft manufacturers and major
industries (defense, rail, energy) so that they can offer their clients
a greater level of safety and comfort. The company, one of the
industry’s global leaders(1), mainly develops vibration and thermal
insulation systems as well as fluid management and sealing
solutions that combine performance and energy efficiency.

Hutchinson has over 87 production sites and 30,500 employees
across the world to cater to its clients.

Hutchinson’s sales were €3.8 billion ($4.3 billion) in 2015, up 11%
compared to 2014 and 17% compared to 2013. This growth was
due to outperformance on the world’s automotive markets,
especially among German and Asian manufacturers. In 2015,
Hutchinson also performed well on its other markets, particularly
civil aeronautics.

In addition, Hutchinson is pursuing the differentiation of its
business by investing in several R&D programs that focus on
material innovations and solutions that incorporate mechatronic
components.

Since 2014, all Hutchinson entities that previously operated under
26 different brand names have been marketed under a unique
Hutchinson brand name for greater consistency and visibility.

Electroplating

Atotech is one of the world’s leading companies in the
electroplating sector(1). It is active in the markets for electronics
(printed circuits, semiconductors) and general surface treatments
(automotive, construction, furnishing).

Atotech has 17 production sites worldwide, including seven in
Asia, six in Europe, three in North America and one in South
America.

The company’s sales totaled €1.0 billion ($1.1 billion) in 2015, up
by 4% compared to 2014 and 11% compared to 2013.

In 2015, Atotech successfully pursued its strategy to differentiate
its products by offering its customers a complete package in terms

of equipment, processes, facilities design and chemical products
and by developing innovative technologies that have less of an
impact on the environment. This strategy relies on global coverage
provided by its technical centers located near customers.

Atotech intends to pursue its development in Asia, which already
represents approximately two-thirds of its global sales.

To strengthen its position in the electronics market, Atotech is
increasing and modernizing its production capacity in Asia with
two major projects in Malaysia and China (inaugurations planned in
2016 and 2018, respectively). By relocating production as close to
its markets as possible, these two projects also adhere to its cost-
cutting strategy. Furthermore, the new Atotech Development
Center in India is planning to start its operations by 2017 in order
to provide for a faster, more sustainable and higher-quality
development of products and processes and for a more cost-
effective selection of raw materials.

Trading & Shipping

Trading & Shipping focuses on serving the Group’s needs by:

(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)

(cid:129)
(cid:129)

selling and marketing the Group’s crude oil production;
providing a supply of crude oil for the Group’s refineries;
importing and exporting the appropriate petroleum and
refined products for the Group’s refineries to be able to adjust
their production to the needs of local markets;
chartering appropriate ships for these activities; and
undertaking trading on various derivatives markets.

With its acquired expertise, Trading & Shipping is able to extend its
scope beyond the aforementioned activities.

Trading & Shipping conducts its activities worldwide through
various wholly-owned subsidiaries(2) established on strategically
important oil markets in Europe, Asia and North America.

3.2.1.

Trading

In 2015, Trading benefited from oil price volatility and the
contango(3) situation of certain oil indexes (the opposite of the
backwardation situation observed in 2014) by better optimizing
positions and arbitrage. Significant storage capacities in different
parts of the world, made available through leases, contributed to
the strong performance of these activities. The Group’s facilities in
Houston and Singapore also contributed to the growth of results
by expanding their respective activities.

TOTAL is one of the world’s largest traders of crude oil and
petroleum products on the basis of volumes traded. The table
below presents Trading’s worldwide crude oil sales and supply
sources and petroleum product sales for each of the past three
years. Trading of physical volumes of crude oil and petroleum
products amounted to 5.2 Mb/d in 2015, compared to 4.9 Mb/d in
2014 and to 4.5 Mb/d in 2013.

These subsidiaries include TOTSA Total Oil Trading S.A., Atlantic Trading & Marketing Inc., Total Trading Asia Pte, Total Trading and Marketing Canada L.P., Total European
Trading S.A.S and Chartering & Shipping Services S.A.
Contango is the price structure in which the prompt price of an index is lower than the future price. For example, the difference between the Brent ICE 1st line and the Brent
ICE 12th line was -$6.58/b in 2015, compared with +$1.15/b in 2014. The reverse situation is referred to as backwardation.

Trading operates extensively on physical and derivatives markets,
both organized and over the counter. In connection with its trading
activities, TOTAL, like most other oil companies, uses derivative
energy instruments (futures, forwards, swaps and options) with the
aim of adjusting its exposure to fluctuations in the price of crude oil
and petroleum products. These transactions are entered into with
various counterparties.

For additional information concerning derivatives transactions by
Trading & Shipping, see Notes 30 (Financial instruments related to
commodity contracts) and 31 (Market risks) to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

All of TOTAL’s Trading activities are subject to strict internal
controls and trading limits.

requirements are fulfilled through balanced use of the spot and
time-charter markets. The additional transport capacity can also
be used to transport third-party cargo. Shipping maintains a
rigorous safety policy, mainly through a strict selection of chartered
vessels.

In 2015, Shipping chartered approximately 2,900 voyages
(relatively constant compared to 2014 and 2013) to transport
126 Mt of crude oil and petroleum products, compared to 122 Mt
in 2014 and 115 Mt in 2013. On December 31, 2015, the mid-
and long-term chartered fleet amounted to 55 vessels (including
7 LPG vessels), compared to 48 in 2014 and 46 in 2013. None of
these vessels are single-hulled and the average age of the fleet is
approximately five years.

Like a certain number of other oil companies and ship owners, the
Group uses freight rate derivative contracts to adjust Shipping’s
exposure to freight rate fluctuations.

Item 4 - B.4. Marketing & Services Segment

4. MARKETING & SERVICES SEGMENT

The Marketing & Services segment includes worldwide supply and marketing activities in the oil products and services field as well as the
activity of New Energies.

4.1. Marketing & Services

The Marketing & Services (M&S) business segment is dedicated to
the development of TOTAL’s oil products distribution activities and
related services throughout the world. Present in more than 150
countries(1), M&S conveys TOTAL’s brand image to its customers,
both private and professional. The brand’s renown, underpinned
by large-scale advertising campaigns, substantial R&D spending
and an ambitious digital transformation plan all contribute to
building its highly visible, innovative and assertive lineup of
commercial solutions for its customers.

M&S pursues a proactive, primarily organic, development strategy.
M&S aims to consolidate its market share in its six key markets(2) in
Western Europe, where it has reached critical mass and is one of
the main distributors of oil products(3). M&S continues to develop
its activities in high-growth areas, particularly in Africa where it is
the leading distributor(4). In 2015, organic investments to the order
of $1.1 billion mainly involved the development of retail networks,
in particular in Africa.

In 2014 and 2015, M&S disposed of assets to optimize its position
in Europe (sales of the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) marketing
subsidiaries in France and Hungary, the LPG/commercial sales
activity in Switzerland, and its stakes in the Société Anonyme de la
Raffinerie des Antilles and the Société Réunionnaise de Produits
Pétroliers). In Turkey, M&S initiated in 2015 the sale of its retail
network. At the same time, M&S is making targeted acquisitions in
high-growth countries, such as Pakistan, Vietnam, the Dominican
Republic, South Africa, Tunisia and Egypt.

M&S’s three main areas of activity are:

(cid:129)

Retail, with a network of slightly more than 16,000 service
stations. The Group is focusing on six key markets in Western
Europe and continues to develop in Africa, where it is already
present in more than 40 countries. In addition to the sale of
high-performance fuels and oil products, it is able to capture
new customers and build customer loyalty by diversifying its

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

offer in its stores and service stations (e.g., car wash,
catering, car servicing) through partnerships with leading
brands. The aim of these new offers is to transform service
stations into living places where motorists enjoy stopping by.
In 2015, the network increased its sales by 6% compared to
2014.
The production and sales of lubricants, a highly profitable
sector that accounts for almost one third of M&S’s results(5),
and in which TOTAL intends to pursue its growth dynamic.
M&S has entered commercial and technological partnerships
with numerous carmakers. In recent years, contracts with
partners and industrial manufacturers in Europe and Asia
have completed its long-standing partnerships with French
carmakers. Furthermore, M&S will become supplier of first fill
oils for BMW’s gasoline engines in its European production
plants. With 41 blending plants, including the plant in
Singapore commissioned in 2015, and its research
investments, M&S is able to supply quality lubricants to its
customers worldwide. In 2015, sales of lubricants increased
by 3% compared to 2014.
The distribution of products and services for professional
markets. TOTAL is a partner of choice and a local supplier of
products (mainly aviation fuel, special fluids, LPG, bitumens,
heavy fuels and marine bunkers) and helps its customers to
manage all their energy needs with solutions such as the
maintenance of oil facilities and the optimization of
consumption.

M&S holds interests in five refineries in Africa and one in Europe
through its 49% stake in TotalErg.

To meet its customers’ current and future needs, M&S has
increased its efforts in R&D by 24% since 2013 to design and
develop new product ranges, in particular for the engine
technologies of the future.

Europe

In Western Europe, the Group continues to optimize its marketing
activities in its six main markets. It has a retail network of nearly
8,400 service stations(1) throughout France, Belgium, the
Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany and Italy. TOTAL is regaining
market shares in Western Europe by developing an innovative and
diversified line of products and services.

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

In France, the dense retail network includes more than 1,530
TOTAL-branded service stations, 670 Total Access stations
(service station concept combining low prices and premium
TOTAL-branded fuels and services) and more than 1,300 Elan
service stations, which are mainly located in rural areas. Since
its launch in 2011, Total Access has led to the Group
regaining nearly 3%(2) market share. Developing the range of
services in its service stations is one of M&S’s strategic
priorities. In France, where new offers and services have been
developed for vehicle maintenance, catering and stores, the
share of non-oil activities of the network’s income is
increasing and already stands at 30%.

In addition, TOTAL promotes a large fuel and service offering
to 112,000 customer vehicle fleets. Fuel sales to consumers
(B2C) reach more than one million customers.

TOTAL holds stakes in 28 depots in France, 7 of which are
operated by Group companies.

In Germany, TOTAL is the country’s fourth largest operator(3)
and continues to expand its network. With about 1,180
service stations at year-end 2015, the Group has gained 1%
in market share in two years.
In Italy, TOTAL holds a 49% stake in TotalErg, which is the
country’s fourth largest operator with more than 2,600 service
stations(3).

To distribute its specialty products, the Group benefits from an
extensive network in Europe and relies on numerous industrial
facilities to produce lubricants (mainly Rouen in France and
Ertvelde in Belgium), special fluids (Oudalle in France) and bitumen
(Brunsbüttel in Germany).

TOTAL is pursuing its development in high-growth segments
throughout Europe, and in particular in lubricants and specialty
bitumens on the growing markets in Eastern Europe.

TOTAL is also a major player in the market for fuel-payment cards,
with nearly 3.3 million cards issued. With the AS24 card, TOTAL
has a dedicated offering for the heavy-duty vehicles segment in
27 European countries. Bolstered by a network of more than
760 service stations, AS24 is expected to continue to grow
primarily through expansion in the Mediterranean basin and
Eastern Europe and through its toll payment card service, which
covers nearly 20 countries.

Africa & the Middle East

TOTAL is the leading marketer of petroleum products in Africa and
in certain countries in the Middle East, with a 16%(4) average
market share in 2015, compared with 13% in 2013. In these
regions, it is pursuing a strategy of profitable growth in all its
operations.

As part of its dynamic asset management policy and after
considering that it would be difficult to reach a sufficient market
share in Turkey to achieve the expected level of profitability,
TOTAL initiated in 2015 the disposal of its network of 450 service
stations.

On high-growth markets, the Group continues its development
strategy for its retail network, which grew from approximately
4,400 service stations in 2012, to almost 5,000 in 2015, spread
across more than 40 countries. The Group operates major
networks in South Africa, Nigeria, Egypt and Morocco.

In Egypt, TOTAL acquired the service station network and
commercial sales activities of Shell and Chevron in 2013. The
incorporation of these entities enabled the Group to increase its
size three-fold and to become the second private operator in
Africa’s largest market, with a 14% network market share(3).

Overall, M&S continues to gain market share in the countries
where it operates in Africa and the Middle East. On the one hand,
M&S has acquired independent petroleum networks in certain
countries or is expanding its specialty products portfolio, as
illustrated by the acquisition of an LPG activity in Tunisia, and on

the other hand, M&S is deploying a range of innovative products
and services through partnerships in catering and stores, as well
as in digital solutions. The retail networks in some 20 countries
now offer customers to use their smartphones for money transfer
services and payments by smartphone are accepted in the service
stations of approximately 10 countries.

To strengthen its local presence, M&S began a process of opening
up the share capital of select subsidiaries to regional investors,
particularly in Morocco and Senegal in 2015. The opening up of
the capital resulted in the listing of these two entities, respectively,
on the Abidjan stock exchange in February and the Casablanca
stock exchange in May.

TOTAL is pursuing a strategy for growth in specialty products
markets in Africa and the Middle East. M&S, which relies in
particular on lubricants blending plants in Dubai and Egypt, started
up a new plant of this type in Saudi Arabia in 2013.

Moreover, TOTAL acts as a leading partner for mining customers
in Africa by delivering complete supply chain and management
solutions for fuels and lubricants.

Finally, TOTAL continued to develop its Awango by Total solar
solutions, expanding this line to 10 new countries in Africa and the
Middle East in 2015 (for additional information, refer to “— E. Other
Matters — 4.3.4.5. Giving the most disadvantaged populations
greater access to energy”, below.

Asia-Pacific

At year-end 2015, TOTAL was present in more than 20 countries
in the Asia-Pacific region and continues to strengthen its position
in the distribution of fuels and specialty products.

TOTAL operates service station networks in China, Pakistan, the
Philippines, Cambodia and Indonesia, and is a significant player in
the Pacific islands. The Group network continued to expand, and
reached nearly 1,400 service stations at year-end 2015, an
increase of nearly 550 compared to 2014.

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

In Pakistan, TOTAL, with its local partner PARCO,
completed the acquisition of Chevron’s distribution network in
2015. This acquisition will expand TOTAL’s network by 500
service stations and strengthen the Group’s distribution and
logistics capacities in Pakistan.
In the Philippines, TOTAL is pursuing its development, with
the goal of doubling its retail network market share.
In China, the Group was operating more than 200 service
stations at year-end 2015 through two joint ventures with
Sinochem and a wholly-owned subsidiary.

TOTAL’s share of the inland lubricant(1) market reached 3.4% in
2015 in this region. One of the Group’s largest lubricant
production plants started up in mid-2015 in Singapore in order to
support M&S’s ambitions for growth in the region. It boasts a
capacity of 310 kt/year. In China, a third lubricant production plant
with a capacity of 200 kt/year was inaugurated in Tainjin in 2013.
TOTAL continues to strengthen its presence on the specialties
market in the region, in particular in Vietnam, where the Group
became number two(2) on the LPG market in 2015 following an
acquisition, and in India, with the extension of its LPG distribution
to 55 stations.

industrial units in these countries including, in particular, the
production of lubricants and the storage and bottling of LPG. In
addition, the Group has opened new distribution subsidiaries in
Peru and the Dominican Republic, in 2013 and 2014, respectively.

In the Caribbean, the Group operates on several islands with
more than 450 service stations at year-end 2015. In January 2016,
TOTAL strengthened its position with the acquisition of a majority
stake of 70% in the fuel marketing leader in the Dominican
Republic, which operates a network of 130 service stations,
commercial sales and lubricants activities.

In Latin America, TOTAL continues to pursue its growth strategy
for specialty products (primarily lubricants and special fluids).

In the United States and Canada, TOTAL mainly markets
specialty products, particularly lubricants, jet fuels and special
fluids. To strengthen its special fluids business, the Group is
constructing a special fluids production plant near Houston, Texas,
which is expected to be operational in 2016.

4.1.4. Products and services developments

The Group develops technologically advanced products, some of
which are formulated for use in motor sports before being
generally released on the market. In 2015, TOTAL continued its
technical partnerships, in particular with Renault Sport F1
(Formula 1) and the PSA Peugeot Citroën group (WRC, WTCC and
Rallycross). These partnerships demonstrate TOTAL’s technical
excellence in the formulation of fuels and lubricants under extreme
conditions and subject to requirements to reduce fuel
consumption. At year-end 2014, TOTAL and Renault renewed
their global partnership for the next five years in the areas of R&D,
business relations with Renault after-sales networks and
Formula 1.

In order to respond to developments in world markets and prepare
tomorrow’s growth opportunities, TOTAL develops solutions in
collaboration with its customers that optimize their energy bills
such as the Total Ecosolutions product and service label (refer to
“— E. Other Matters — 4.2.3.4. Energy efficiency and
ecoperformance”, below). These solutions integrate a diversified
range of energy supplies (fuels, gas, photovoltaics and wood
pellets) as well as consumption auditing, monitoring and
management services. In the realm of consumption management,
TOTAL draws on the know-how of its Tenag joint venture in
Germany (49% owned) and its 2014 acquisition BHC Energy in
France, both of which specialize in energy efficiency.

Looking beyond energy services, TOTAL also relies on digital
innovations to develop new offers for its customers, such as
money transfers and payment by smartphone in Africa, or online
domestic heating oil orders in France. Total’s mobile application
“Total Services” has been deployed in 42 countries. For its
professional customers, M&S has launched Bitume Online in
France, a platform that offers bitumens at fixed rates, and a portal
for lubricant distributors deployed in 20 countries, among others.
In addition to the offers designed by TOTAL, M&S also supports
innovative start-ups in order to encourage the development of new
business models and to test the commercial and economic worth
of innovative services.

In the longer term, TOTAL also supports the development of
alternatives to traditional fuels:

(cid:129)

Gas for transport, a segment in which M&S intends to
grow: TOTAL has approximately 400 stations that deliver
compressed natural gas in Asia, Africa and Europe. In 2015,
TOTAL opened its first liquefied natural gas (LNG) station for

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

heavy duty vehicles in the port of Antwerp (Kallo) in Belgium,
and its European subsidiaries are keeping an active watch on
the potential of LNG as a fuel.
Hydrogen: through its Clean Energy Partnership (CEP) in
Germany, TOTAL is contributing to the development of a
network of hydrogen stations, with the target of opening
50 stations by the end of 2016. In addition, with its partners
Air Liquide, Daimler, Linde, OMV and Shell, TOTAL created in
2015 the “H2 Mobility Germany” joint venture, which aims to
deploy some 400 hydrogen stations in Germany, with more
than 250,000 fuel cell vehicles forecasted by 2023.
Electro-mobility: The development and demonstration of
the distribution of electricity intended for electric vehicles
continued in 2015 in TOTAL’s European subsidiaries. TOTAL
has approximately 20 prototype electric vehicle refueling
stations in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and
Germany. A partnership with Sodetrel (EDF) resulted in the
installation of 10 fast charging stations in motorway service
stations in France in 2015. Industrial partnership projects in
France, Benelux and Germany are expected to allow for the
installation of 110 additional fast charging stations in 2016.

4.2. New Energies

The Group, in addition to its activities in hydrocarbons, is active in
the development of renewable energies to build a diversified
energy mix while generating lower CO2 emissions as a response to
the challenge of climate change. To develop robust and profitable
New Energies activities, the Group focuses on the following two
themes:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

solar energy, a high-growth market in which the Group is
positioned among the leaders through SunPower; and
the transformation of biomass through biotechnology, a
second theme of development over a longer term, which aims
to develop new biosourced product solutions for
transportation and chemicals.

TOTAL actively follows developments in other renewable energies.
In this context, the Group owns a farm of four wind turbines
(10 MW near Dunkirk, France) and a stake in marine energy
(9.99% in the company Scotrenewables Tidal Power, Scotland).

The Group expects to dedicate to New Energies an annual
investment budget of approximately $500 million for the coming
years.

4.2.1. Solar energy

TOTAL is mainly present in the photovoltaic sector based on
crystalline silicon technology through SunPower, in which the
Group acquired a majority stake in 2011. The Group is also
pursuing R&D investments in this field through several industrial
and academic partnerships.

The steady reduction in photovoltaic electricity costs is increasing
solar competitiveness in an ever-growing number of markets, in
solar farms and residential and commercial applications.

4.2.2. Biotechnologies and the conversion of biomass

TOTAL is exploring a number of opportunities for developing
biomass depending on its nature, accessibility and sustainability.
The objective is to sell high-performance molecules in targeted
markets (e.g., fuel, lubricants, special polymers, chemicals). The
Group is focused on the biochemical conversion process of this
biomass.

As of December 31, 2015, TOTAL holds 31.52% of Amyris, Inc.,
an American company listed on NASDAQ that was the Group’s
first significant equity investment in biotechnologies. Amyris has a
plant in Brazil (in production since 2013) that converts 30 million
liters of sugarcane juice into molecules of interest for perfumes and
cosmetics as well as farnesene, a molecule of interest for a
number of chemical or downstream oil markets, including specialty
products and fuels (diesel or jet). Biosourced jet fuel produced

C. PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT

The companies of the Group have freehold and leasehold interests
in over 130 countries throughout the world, none of which
inidividually is material to TOTAL. Operations in properties, oil and
gas fields or any other industrial, commercial or administrative
facility, as well as the production capacities and utilization rates of
these facilities, are described in “— B. Business Overview”, above,
for each business segment (Upstream, Refining & Chemicals and
Marketing & Services).

from farnesene received the certification required in 2014 to be
sold worldwide to airlines, and proved its technical performance
through its use on commercial flights, especially with Air France
and KLM. Large-scale deployment will take several years, given
the cost reduction effort required to make the molecule
competitive with fossil jet fuel. TOTAL and Amyris continue their
collaboration agreement covering the setting up of a common R&D
team for bio-sourced molecules(1).

In addition, the Group participates in R&D collaborations with other

Including acquisitions and increases in non-current loans. The main acquisitions for the 2013-2015 period are detailed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(a)
(b) Net investments = gross investments — divestments — repayment of non-current loans — other operations with non-controlling interests. The main divestments for the

2013-2015 period are detailed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(c) Organic investments = net investments, excluding acquisitions, divestments and other operations with non-controlling interests.

In 2015, the Group put in place a strong response to the falling
Brent price, based in particular on a reduction in organic
investments. Including net investments in equity and
non-consolidated affiliates, organic investments were $23.0 billion,
in accordance with the $23-24 billion objective. They were
$26.4 billion in 2014 after reaching a peak of $28.3 billion in 2013,
in line with the Group’s growth strategy. Major projects that will
support a production growth of 5% per year on average until
2019(2) are launched, investments drop as they start and additional
savings measures are implemented to accelerate this trend.

In the Upstream segment, most of the investments were geared
toward the development of new hydrocarbon production facilities,
the maintenance of existing facilities and exploration operations.
Development expenditure mainly pertained to the nine projects
started in 2015 (Ofon 2, Eldfisk 2, West Franklin 2, Surmont,
Termokarstovoye, GLNG, Dalia Phase 1a, Moho Phase 1b, Lianzi),
the five projects that are expected to start in 2016 (Laggan-
Tormore, Vega Pleyade, Incahuasi, Angola LNG and Kashagan)
and to other major projects under construction like Moho North in
the Republic of the Congo, Ichthys in Australia, Egina in Nigeria
and Yamal in Russia.

In the Refining & Chemicals segment, investments were made in
facilities maintenance and safety, as well as in projects aimed at

improving the plants’ competitiveness. In 2015, the Group
completed the Carling adaptation project, with the closure of the
steamcracker in October and the modernization of the Antwerp
refinery. The segment also announced in France the
transformation of the La Mède refinery into a bio-refinery and the
modernization of the Donges refinery, and the 50% capacity
reduction of the Lindsey oil refinery in the United Kingdom.

In the Marketing & Services segment, investments in 2015 mainly
concerned the network (notably in Africa), logistics and specialty
products production and storage facilities, notably the new
Singapore lubricant plant inaugurated in July.

While mobilizing its teams for future startups in Upstream and for
cost reduction programs, the Group is preparing for the future by
expanding its acreage and acquiring stakes in new promising
assets. Acquisitions were $3.4 billion, comprised principally of the
ADCO license extension in Abu Dabi, the renewal of licenses in
Nigeria, the acquisition of an additional stake in OAO Novatek(3)
and the carry on the Utica gas and condensate field in the United
States.

Gross investments (including acquisitions and changes in
non-current loans) fell by 8% to $28.0 billion in 2015 compared to
$30.5 billion in 2014.

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

The Group also continued its asset sale program with the
finalization of sales totaling $6.0 billion in 2015, comprised
essentially of the sale of a 20% interest in Laggan-Tormore in the
United-Kingdom, a 10% interest in the Fort Hills project in Canada,
the Group’s stake in the Schwedt refinery in Germany, a majority
share in Geosel in France and the finalization in 2015 of the sales
announced in 2014 (Bostik, participations in Nigerian onshore
blocks, coal mines in South Africa and Totalgaz).

The Group confirmed an asset sale target of $10 billion for
2015-17. The sales of the FUKA pipeline system in the United-
Kingdom, a 15% in the Gina Krog project in Norway and the
marketing activities in Turkey were announced in 2015.

Net investments were therefore $20.4 billion in 2015, compared to
$24.1 billion in 2014, a decrease of 16%. This decrease was
essentially due to the decrease in organic investments.

1.2

Major planned investments

In response to the falling oil prices, TOTAL announced an organic
investments budget for 2016 of approximately $19 billion.

Investments in the Upstream segment are expected to be
approximately $16 billion and will mainly be allocated to major
development projects, including Vega Pleyade, Incahuasi, Angola
LNG and Kashagan that are expected to start in 2016 as well as
Ichthys in Australia, Moho Nord in the Republic of the Congo,
Egina in Nigeria and Yamal in Russia that are expected to start
from 2017. A little over $4 billion will also be allocated to assets
already in production, in particular for maintenance capital
expenditures and in-fill wells.

The Refining & Chemicals segment has an investment budget of
approximately $1.5 billion, which is expected to be allocated to the
refining, petrochemicals and specialty chemicals businesses. The
modernization of the Antwerp integrated platform, the
transformation of the La Mède refinery in a bio-refinery and the
adaptation of the Lindsey refinery are the three largest investments
in the segment in 2016. A significant portion of the segment’s
budget will also be allocated to the maintenance and safety
investments required for these types of industrial activities.

2.

Research & Development

Certain R&D initiatives of the Group are set forth below. For
additional information on the Group’s R&D, see “Item 5 —
Research and Development”.

2.1.

Upstream

In Exploration & Production, the project portfolio was reviewed in
2015 according to what impact the projects have on reducing
costs and improving production. More than half the R&D budget is
given to improving exploration, seismic acquisition and imaging
technologies, appraisal of hydrocarbon reservoirs and simulation of
field evolution during operations, especially for low permeability or
carbonate reservoirs. Enhancing oil recovery from mature
reservoirs remains an active area of research.

A new direction was taken to strengthen R&D activities in offshore
at greater distances for multiphase production transport, which is
fully in line with the goals of Exploration & Production and supports
major technology-intensive assets such as Libra in Brazil.

The oxy-combustion CO2 capture and storage project in the
depleted Rousse reservoir in Lacq (France) is still in the monitoring
phase, following the injection phase that ended in 2013. The
Group now has a strong command of the methods used to
characterize reservoirs and their mechanical properties for this type
of injection. New projects will look into new capturing solutions.

Item 4 - E. Other Matters - 2. R&D

The Marketing & Services segment has an investment budget of
approximately $1.5 billion, which is expected to finance, in
particular, the service station network, logistics, specialty products
production and storage facilities, particularly lubricants, and the
development of its activities in New Energies. Most of the
Marketing & Services budget will be allocated to growth areas
(Africa, Middle East, Asia and Latin America).

After 2016, TOTAL expects investments to be in line with a
$17-19 billion per year guideline and this level should allow the
Group to grow 1-2% per year over the long-term, in line with oil
and gas market growth.

TOTAL self-finances most of its investments from its excess cash
from operations (refer to Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow for
the Years Ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013), which is
mainly supplemented by accessing the bond market on a regular
basis, when conditions on the financial markets are favorable (refer
to Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). However,
investments for joint ventures between TOTAL and external
partners are generally funded through specific project financing.

Active management of the asset portfolio, which is fully integrated
into the Group’s strategy, creates value and TOTAL has confirmed
its 2015-17 asset sale program of $10 billion, including $4 billion
announced in 2015. In addition, the Group makes targeted
acquisitions, notably to acquire resources discovered by other oil
companies, with $2 billion planned in 2016.

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 Group’s off-
balance sheet commitments and contractual obligations appear in
Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Group
currently 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 Group’s financial position, income and expenses,
liquidity, investments or financial resources.

A sustained effort to adapt mature technologies in order to reduce
their costs has been implemented. In particular, new produced
water management technologies are now available for new
developments. This subject is part of a larger program dedicated
to sustainable development.

Finally, R&D programs prepare for the more distant future,
whether for developing technologies, such as robotics or
high-performance computing, or for researching new
exploration concepts.

Concerning the activities of Gas, the program to develop new
technological LNG solutions is continuing.

2.2.

Refining & Chemicals

2.2.1. Refining & Chemicals (excluding Specialty

Chemicals)

The aim of R&D is to support the medium and long-term
development of Refining & Chemicals. In doing so, it contributes to
the technological differentiation of this business through the
development, implementation and promotion of effective R&D
programs that pave the way for the industrialization of knowledge,
processes and technologies.

In line with Refining & Chemicals’ strategy, R&D places special
emphasis on the following four major challenges: take advantage

2015 Form 20-F TOTAL S.A.

45

Item 4 - E. Other Matters - 2. R&D

of different types of feedstock, maximize asset value, continue
developing innovative products, and develop bio-sourced
products. The medium-term strategy of the project portfolio and its
deployment plan will facilitate Refining & Chemicals’ technological
differentiation.

To take advantage of different types of feedstock, R&D activities
related to the processing of more diversified crudes have
increased significantly through a clearer insight into the effect that
feedstocks have on equipment and processes at the molecular
level. R&D is launching ambitious new programs to develop
various technologies for producing liquid fuels, monomers and
intermediates from gas.

R&D is developing expertise and technologies with a view to
maximizing asset value. Its efforts mainly involve programs
focusing on the flexibility and availability of facilities. Advanced
modeling of feedstocks and processes helps the units overcome
their processing-related constraints and operate while taking these
constraints into account in real time. Research conducted on
catalysts is helping to increase their resistance, improve catalytic
stability and extend the cycle time at a lower cost. Programs are
being set up to maximize the value of heavy residues.

To address concerns related to social and environmental
acceptability in particular, R&D is focusing its efforts on reducing
emissions to minimize facilities’ environmental footprint. In
anticipation of long-term challenges and the value of CO2, R&D is
pioneering technologies to reduce GHG emissions through carbon
capture and recovery by conversion.

Product innovation is a key aspect of research on polymers. R&D
draws on its knowledge of metallocenes and bimodality to develop
different types of mass consumption polymers that have
exceptional properties that allow them to replace heavier materials
and compete with technical polymers. Value-added niche
polymers are also being developed, whether in the form of blends,
compounds or composites. Efforts to diversify into “green”
products are focused mainly on bioproducts endorsed by the
market: biomonomers, biointermediates and biopolymers. R&D is
banking on polylactic acid for the market launch of new polymers
that boast enhanced properties. In addition, the development of
blends, compounds and composites broadens the scope of
application of polylactic acid-based polymers.

With regard to biofuels, R&D has directed its efforts towards
gasification and coprocessing to produce liquid fuels from
biomass. R&D is also particularly mindful of issues related to
blends and product quality raised by the use of biomolecules.

Efficient resource use and end-of-life management for plastics are
topics of growing interest. R&D is therefore developing
technologies that enable plastics to be used more efficiently as
feedstock.

2.2.2. Specialty Chemicals

R&D is strategically important for specialty chemical products. It is
closely linked to the needs of the subsidiaries and industrial
customers.

Material innovation at Hutchinson is gaining pace for raising
performance and increasing potential applications, with the
development of advanced rubber or thermoplastic formulas, the
development of new material formulations based on composite
structures, and the development of energy storage applications.

The aerospace and automotive industries face the same
challenges, namely mass reduction, energy efficiency, and
diagnostic and control functionality. In 2015, Hutchinson improved
its expertise in electronics and embedded systems. Hutchinson
has also extended its network of partnerships across the American
continent and Asia.

Atotech is a global leader in integrated production systems
(chemicals, equipment, expertise and service) for industrial surface
finishing and the manufacturing of integrated circuits. Given the
environmental challenges related to electroplating, nearly half of
Atotech’s R&D projects are designed to develop ever cleaner
technologies and favor conditions for the sustainable development
of these industries.

2.3.

Marketing & Services

2.3.1. Marketing & Services

In 2015, the R&D of the Marketing & Services activities continued
to roll out its new roadmap in line with its ambitions.

The roadmap features two focal points: reducing the
environmental footprint of products and improving the durability of
its end users’ equipment. They include the following
developments: energy savings for customers (fuels, lubricants,
additives and bitumen), competitive advantage and new solutions
(lubricants, bitumen and special fluids), anticipation of changes in
legislation (marine lubricants and aviation fuel), and incorporation of
bio-sourced molecules (lubricants and racing fuels).

Considerable efforts are therefore being made to develop digital
tools that can be used to provide a closer insight into how
products work, model their behavior, detect the performance of
the different components available and ultimately determine targets
for chemists and formulators.

In 2015, a project aimed at pioneering new molecules for future
changes to the Total Excellium fuel range was launched, with target
areas including chemicals and methods & measurements. Extensive
work was also aimed at developing new products and adapting
products to the range, mainly for Africa and the Middle East.

In the field of refinery additives, research continued into
understanding and modeling the crystallization kinetics of paraffin.

The Fuel Economy range of lubricants continues to expand with
many new products designed to comply with the specifications of
manufacturers targeted by the Total Lubricants business line in all
fields of application (automotive, marine and manufacturing). The
key work areas are focusing on the design of breakthrough
components used in formulations. Furthermore, new marine
lubricants for two-stroke engines are being developed to anticipate
changes in fuel specifications (very low sulfur rate in coastal areas)
and reduce emissions.

To meet the challenges of competitiveness, sustainable logistics and
geographic development in the bitumen sector, researchers mainly
concentrated on the prospect of transporting bitumen in solid form
and developing Styrelf formulas for the international market.

Cooperation with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
continued in the field of unleaded Avgas.

A greater understanding of the molecular composition of fluids,
their applicative properties and their method of manufacture paved
the way for new innovations, some of which in the field of
renewable energy technologies.

well as pilots for assessing and improving systems and algorithms
in contact with customers.

Item 4 - E. Other Matters - 3. Insurance and risk management

In 2015, the Asia-Pacific Technical Center based in Bombay, India,
continued to ramp up its activities and strengthen its skills, mainly
in lubricants (including textile lubricants and engine lubricants) and
special fluids, including drilling fluids.

French and international skills have been increasingly enlisted in
recent years, with a growing number of ties with academia,
researchers seconded to universities, and international researchers
recruited for the Solaize Research Centre. Cooperation with
academia and secondments contribute to core research used to
provide scientific support for designing and developing
breakthrough products, which is one of Marketing & Services’
objectives.

2.3.2. New Energies

New Energies’ R&D effort is focused on the solar value chain from
silicon to photovoltaic electricity management systems and on the
development of biotechnological methods of converting biomass
into products for the Group’s markets.

In the field of solar energy, R&D is striving to improve
SunPower’s(1) methods of producing cells and modules in order to
drive down costs while enhancing their efficiency and reliability. It is
also preparing future generation photovoltaic cells within the
framework of several strategic partnerships between TOTAL and
renowned academic research institutes. In particular, TOTAL is the
founding partner of the Ile de France Photovoltaic Institute, an
ambitious project set up in the Paris-Saclay campus.

Downstream in the solar value chain, R&D is monitoring the
development of low-cost stationary storage technologies. It is also
preparing solutions for supplying solar power and associated
services to residential markets, by developing software tools and
algorithms for the intelligent management of domestic electricity
production and consumption, but also by integrating and testing

3.

Insurance and risk management

3.1.

Organization

TOTAL has its own reinsurance company, Omnium Reinsurance
Company (ORC). ORC is integrated within the Group’s insurance
management and is used as a centralized global operations tool
for covering the Group companies’ insurable risks. It allows the
Group’s 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 accepts 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.

With regard to biotechnologies, the Group is developing methods
for converting sugars into biofuels and molecules of interest for
chemicals, as well as processes for the deconstruction of
lignocellulose into sugars. The Group has set up its own
laboratories, including a competence center on fermentation and a
laboratory focused on themes shared by New Energies and
Marketing & Services (bio-sourced specialties in particular), and a
dedicated research team. This research team manages a network
of partnerships with research laboratories and startups in the
United States and in Europe. The Group mainly works with
Amyris(1), a company specializing in biotechnologies (refer to
“— B.4.2.2. Biotechnologies and the conversion of biomass,
above).

2.4.

Environment

Environmental issues are important throughout the Group and are
taken into account in all R&D projects. R&D’s effort is to manage
environmental risks more effectively, particularly with regard to:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

water management, especially by reducing the use of water
from natural environments and lowering emissions in
compliance with local, national and international regulations;
reduction of GHG emissions by improving energy efficiency
and monitoring carbon capture and storage and the potential
effects of CO2 on the natural environment;
detection and reduction of discharges into the air and
simulation of their dispersal;
prevention of soil contamination and regulatory compliance
with regard to historical aspects and the remediation of sites;
and
changes in the Group’s different products and management
of their life cycle, in particular in compliance with the
Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of
Chemicals regulation (REACH).

In 2015, the net amount of risk retained by ORC after reinsurance
was, on the one hand, a maximum of $53 million per onshore
third-party liability insurance claim or $77 million per offshore third-
party liability insurance claim and, on the other hand, $75 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 effect on ORC would be limited to its
maximum retention of $152 million per occurrence.

3.2.

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:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

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

(cid:129) manage the level of financial risk from such events to be

either covered internally by the Group or transferred to the
insurance market.

3.3.

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

third-party liability: since 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 2015, the Group’s third-party liability insurance for any
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 by sector and by site and are based on the
estimated cost and scenarios of reconstruction under
maximum loss situations and on insurance market conditions.
The Group subscribed for business interruption coverage in
2015 for its main refining and petrochemical sites.

For example, for the Group’s highest risks (North Sea platforms
and main refineries or petrochemical plants), in 2015 the insurance
limit for the Group share of the installations was approximately
$1.75 billion for the Refining & Chemicals segment and
approximately $2.15 billion for the Upstream segment.

Deductibles for property damage and third-party liability fluctuate
between €0.1 and €10 million depending on the level of risk and

Social, environmental and societal information

TOTAL puts corporate social responsibility (CSR) at the heart of its
activities and conducts its operations according to the
following principles of:

(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

protecting the safety and security of people and its facilities;
limiting its environmental footprint;
ensuring that its Code of Conduct is applied in its sphere of
operations;
incorporating the challenges of sustainable development in
the exercise of its activities;
increasing its local integration by placing dialogue with its
stakeholders at the heart of its policy and contributing to the
economic and social development of the regions where the
Group has operations; and
promoting equal opportunities and fostering diversity and
cultural mix among its personnel.

The Group’s CSR performance is measured by non-financial rating
agencies. TOTAL has been included continuously in the
FTSE4Good index (London Stock Exchange) since 2001 and in
the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World – New York
Stock Exchange) since 2004. TOTAL was listed in the DJSI Europe
from 2005 to 2014.

In terms of reporting, TOTAL refers to the IPIECA (global oil and
gas industry association for environmental and social issues)
guidance and to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). Detailed

liability, and are borne by the relevant subsidiaries. For business
interruption, coverage is triggered 60 days after the occurrence
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 given as an example of a situation
as of a given date and cannot be considered as representative of
future conditions. The Group’s insurance policy may be changed
at any time depending on the market conditions, specific
circumstances and on the General Management’s 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, TOTAL’s
liability may exceed the maximum coverage provided by its third-
party liability insurance. The loss TOTAL could suffer in the event of
such disaster would depend on all the facts and circumstances of
the event and would be subject to a whole range of uncertainties,
including legal uncertainty as to the scope of liability for
consequential damages, which may include economic damage not
directly connected to the disaster. The Group cannot guarantee
that it will not suffer any uninsured loss and there can be no
guarantee, particularly in the case of a major environmental
disaster or industrial accident, that such loss would not have a
material adverse effect on the Group.

information on these reporting guidelines is available on the
Group’s website (analystes-csr.total.com).

On September 25, 2015, the United Nations adopted the
17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These goals
acknowledge the determining role corporations play in economic
development and growth and ask of them to show creativity and
innovation in finding solutions to global sustainable development
challenges. TOTAL is continuing its analysis on how to better
report, as of 2016, on its contribution toward achieving these
SDGs. Detailed information on TOTAL’s implementation of these
goals is provided in this section “– 4. Social, environmental and
societal information”, particularly with regard to Goal 7 – affordable
and clean energy (see “– 4.3.4.5. Giving the most disadvantaged
populations greater access to energy”, below) and Goal 13 –
climate action (see “– 4.2.3. Climate change”, below).

The reporting scopes and method concerning the information in
this section “– 4. Social, environmental and societal information” is
presented in “– 4.4. Reporting scopes and method”, below.

The data presented in this section are provided on a current-scope
basis.

4.1.

Social information

The quantitative information set out in this section “– 4.1. Social
information” and “Item 6 – D.1. Group employees” regarding the

Item 4 - E. Other Matters - 4. Social, environmental and societal information

Group’s employees worldwide covers all the entities that are fully
consolidated in the Group’s financial statements(1). However, some
of the data comes from the Group’s Worldwide Human Resources
Survey (WHRS), which gathers approximately 100 indicators
measuring important aspects of TOTAL’s Human Resources
policy. The WHRS is performed on a sample of employees from

representative consolidated companies at the business segment
and regional levels; when WHRS is mentioned in this document,
reference is made to data related to this sample, which represents
91% of the Group’s employees at 134 subsidiaries in 2015, stable
compared to 2014 (91%) and 2013 (90%) despite a decrease in
consolidated companies’ payrolls.

4.1.1. Organization of work

The average work week is determined by applicable local law. It is less than 40 hours in most subsidiaries located in Europe, Japan and
Qatar. It is 40 hours in most Asian and African countries, and in North America. It is longer in Latin America (Argentina, Mexico, Brazil) and a
few Asian (India) and African (South Africa, Equatorial Guinea, Morocco) countries.

In addition, there are two specific employment regimes within the Group, the “shift”(1) regime and the “rotational”(2) regime. Most shift workers
are employed in the Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services business segments, while the rotational regime concerns the Upstream
segment. New indicators were established in 2015 to monitor these regimes.

Depending on local law, there are several programs that aim to create a better balance between work and private life and/or encourage equal
career opportunities. In France, teleworking was introduced in 2012. As of December 31, 2015, there were 454 teleworkers in France (WHRS
scope), 27.1% of whom were men, compared to 346 in 2014.

4.1.2. Dialogue with employees

The Group’s employees and their representatives have a privileged
position and role among the numerous stakeholders with which
TOTAL has regular dialogue (refer also to “— 4.3.2. Dialogue and
involvement with stakeholders”, below). In countries where employee
representation is not required by law (for example in Myanmar and
Brunei), TOTAL strives to set up such representation. There are
therefore employee representatives in the majority of Group
companies, most of whom are elected. 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.

Within the Group, organizational changes are made in consultation
with the employee representatives, such as the creation of a new
entity in 2014 (Total Global Services) dedicated to shared IT and
telecommunications services, and, in 2015, the sale of Totalgaz to
Antargaz or the industrial project for the Donges (Loire-Atlantique) and
La Mède (Bouches-du-Rhône) refineries to secure the future of
operations at these industrial sites. This constructive social dialogue
has led to various agreements, for example an agreement regarding
commitments in the context of the disposal of Totalgaz and another
on employee support measures for the project relating to the future of
La Mède (refer to “— B.3.1.1. Refining & Petrochemicals”, above). In
2015, 153 agreements were signed with employee representatives
around the world, including 63(3) in France, covering in particular
supplemental health insurance, life insurance, teleworking and
compensation systems.

TOTAL maintains an ongoing dialogue with employees in Europe
via negotiations with European trade union federations.

Several agreements have been signed, including, for example, the
convention on labor relations and equal opportunities that aims to
set up a common social platform applicable to all the Group’s
European entities.

A European committee (single representative body for the employees
at the group level) has been set up in order to inform employees and
hold discussions on the Group’s strategy, its social, economic and
financial situation, as well as questions of sustainable development,
environmental and societal responsibility, and safety on a European
scale. It also 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.

In addition, every other year, TOTAL carries out an internal survey
(Total Survey) amongst 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 survey
conducted in 2015 among 65,000 employees at 508 entities in
115 countries demonstrated that employees have a commitment
rate of 75% and that 87% of them are proud to work for TOTAL.

In January 2015, TOTAL signed a global agreement with the
worldwide trade union federation, IndustriALL Global Union, which
represents 50 million employees in 140 countries. Under this
agreement, the Group made a commitment to maintain minimum
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) standards and guarantees
worldwide for subsidiaries in which it has more than a 50% stake, in
the areas of occupational health and safety, human rights in the
workplace, enhancement of the dialogue with employees, life
insurance, professional equality, social responsibility and assistance
with organizational changes. The Group also ensures that the
principles of the agreement on health, safety and human rights are

For employees providing a continual activity with relays between alternating teams to maintain production (two or three 8-hour shifts), for example in plants or refineries.
For employees working at a location (town or worksite) far from their place of residence with alternating periods of work and rest.
Some agreements cover several companies at once (for example, agreements in the Social and Economic Units or group of companies).

disclosed to and promoted among its service providers and suppliers.
The implementation of this agreement will be monitored annually with
representatives who are members of trade unions affiliated with the
IndustriALL Global Union and appointed by this federation.

4.1.3.

Training

The Group has four priorities in the field of training:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

sharing TOTAL’s corporate values, particularly with respect to
HSE and ethics;
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 diversity and mobility within the
Group through language and inter-cultural training.

The Group’s efforts in the field of training were still significant in
2015 with 71% of employees having followed at least one training
course during the year. Within the scope of the WHRS, 289,000
days of training were followed onsite, compared to 380,000 days
in 2014, for a total training budget of approximately €170 million,
compared to €235 million in 2014. This decrease from 2014 to
2015 is due to three main factors: firstly, the divestments of
Totalgaz and Bostik in 2015 (which represented in 2014 12,000

Average number of training days/year per employee(a)
(excluding “Companion” apprenticeships and e-learning)

training days for approximately €2 million) and the completion of
specific training sessions in certain subsidiaries of Exploration &
Production combined with a decrease in activity (Yemen and
Canada); secondly, the increase in at-distance training courses
(26,000 days in 2015 compared to 19,000 in 2014), which are
gradually being combined with or are replacing on-site courses as
part of the Group’s digitalization program; and lastly, the combined
effect of optimizing the length of training courses and better
selecting these to manage costs.

This shift towards e-learning programs within the Group
accelerated in 2015 with the aim to improve the effectiveness of
training and reaching the largest number of people as quickly as
possible. It has been accompanied by the launch of a digital
awareness program in 2015 to support the Group’s goals in this
area. As a result, 42,000 people received distance training courses
in 2015, compared to 30,000 in 2014.

In addition, Total University offers Group integration programs as
well as courses aimed specifically at developing leadership among
managers and executive officers. Furthermore, Total University
offers specific theme-based conferences, some of which are open
to external audiences. These conferences cover strategic topics in
the field of energy ranging from technology to geopolitics and
societal matters.

4.1.4. Equal opportunity

TOTAL is an international Group in terms of both its operations
and its team members. The diversity of its employees and
management is crucial to the Group’s competitiveness, innovative
capacity, attractiveness and acceptability.

For this reason, TOTAL develops its employees’ skills and careers
while both prohibiting any discrimination related to origin, gender,
sexual orientation or identity, disability, age or affiliation with a
political, labor or religious organization, and promoting proactive

behaviors that allow everyone to feel integrated into the Company.
This policy is upheld by the Diversity Council, which is chaired by a
member of the Group Performance Management Committee.

Each entity is responsible for defining its own areas of focus based
on the legal context and its challenges and for creating a suitable
work environment in which it can fully benefit from all the skills and
diverse approaches. Two areas are managed at the global level:
gender diversity and internationalization, so as to offer all
employees, regardless of their gender or nationality, the same
career opportunities.

To this end, the Group’s target for 2020 is to have:
(cid:129)

women represent 25% of senior executives (having
represented approximately 5% in 2004 and 19% in 2015);
non-French nationals represent 40% of senior executives
(having represented approximately 19% in 2004 and 28% in
2015);
women represent more than 20% of management committee
members (head office and subsidiaries); and
local managers represent 50% to 75% of the subsidiaries’
management committee members.

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

In addition to the Group’s targets, each business segment also
sets targets for its senior management.

4.1.4.1. Equal treatment for men and women

-
In 2010, TOTAL signed the “Women’s Empowerment Principles –
Equality Means Business” set out in the United Nations Global
Compact, and its commitment to equal treatment of men and
women is regularly embodied in agreements, such as the global
agreement signed in 2015 with IndustriALL (refer to “— 4.1.2.
Dialogue with employees”, above). Specific measures are taken to
correct discrepancies, such as salary equality (review and
adjustment of compensation in 2013 and again in 2015) and
teleworking to improve employees’ work-life balance.
The Group also promotes gender diversity in its professions. In
France, TOTAL has partnered with Elles bougent since 2011 and
served as honorary chairman in 2015: 70 female engineers
regularly inform high-school girls about careers in science.
In line with the goal of increasing the number of women in
positions of responsibility, the TWICE network (Total Women’s
Initiative for Communication and Exchange) aims to promote
career development for women and train and educate men and
women about gender diversity. Created in 2006, it is currently in
place in France and around the world (19 local networks) and has
over 3,400 members. As part of this network, a mentoring
program is deployed internationally, and has benefited nearly
500 women since 2010 and 182 mentee/mentor pairs in 2015.
TOTAL also participates in the “BoardWomen Partners” program,
which aims to increase the proportion of women on boards of
directors in large European companies. At the end of 2015,
women accounted for 36.4%(1) of TOTAL S.A.’s Board members,
compared to 38.5% at year-end 2014 and 33% at year-end 2013.
Given the appointment proposals presented to the next
Shareholders’ Meeting (refer to “Item 6 — A.1.7. Appointment and
renewal of directorships proposed to the Shareholders’ Meeting of
May 24, 2016”, below), if the proposed resolutions are approved,
the composition of the Board of Directors, following the Meeting,
will include six women, i.e., a proportion of 54.54%(1), above the
level of 40% set out by law and in the AFEP-MEDEF Code. The
Board of Directors will continue its reflections on diversifying its
composition in the coming years.

4.1.4.2. Internationalization of management

With employees representing over 150 nationalities, TOTAL enjoys
broad cultural diversity and strives to reflect this at all levels of its
activities. In 2015, 93.5% of employees hired by the Group and
76.3% of managers hired were non-French nationals.

Several measures have been put in place to internationalize
management, including training courses to internationalize careers,
increasing the number of foreign postings for employees of all
nationalities (nearly 4,600 employees of 102 nationalities are
posted in 117 countries), and integration and personal
development training organized by large regional hubs (Houston,
Johannesburg, Singapore, etc.).

4.1.4.3. Measures promoting the employment and
integration of people with disabilities

For over 20 years, TOTAL has formally set out its disability policy in
France through successive agreements signed with employee
representatives to promote the employment of workers with
disabilities. Three framework agreements signed for three years
(2013-2015) with the French representative unions set out
TOTAL’s policy with regard to integrating people with disabilities
into the work world. New agreements were signed for the 2016-
2018 period. The average Group employment rate of people with
disabilities in France (direct and indirect employment) was 4.74%
in 2014 (compared to 4.27% in 2013)(2).

TOTAL promotes the direct recruitment of disabled people and
cooperation with the sector for disabled workers, while at the
same time taking various types of action:

(cid:129)

internally: integration, professional training, support and job
retention, communication, awareness sessions organized for
managers and teams, human resources managers, etc.; and
externally: information and advertising aimed at students,
cooperation with recruitment agencies, attendance at
specialized forums, etc.

4.1.4.4. Measures promoting non-discrimination

Large-scale initiatives aimed at raising employees’ awareness of
diversity are organized on a regular basis: in 2015, more than
180 of the Group’s sites celebrated the third World Diversity Day
on the theme of “Diversity makes us better”.

TOTAL is involved in a number of initiatives to promote diversity,
including the professional integration of young people in France,
for example via the la France s’engage partnership with the French
government (refer to “— 4.3.5.2. TOTAL S.A. philanthropy”,
below).

Safety, health and environment information

In line with its Code of Conduct, TOTAL has adopted a Safety Health
Environment Quality Charter, updated in 2014, covering the areas of
safety, security, health, the environment, quality and societal
commitment, and on which the Group relies for the conduct of its
operations (available on total.com). This Charter represents the
common framework of the Group’s management systems. Group
directives define the minimum requirements expected in these areas
and are designed to be implemented in the business segments,
which subsequently factor in the specific characteristics of their
operations. Recommendations, guides and manuals, which are the
primary documents used for implementing and managing the Group’s
policies, are regularly distributed within the different business
segments. The Industrial Safety department and the Sustainable
Development and Environment department, as well as the Security
department, which report to Corporate Affairs, provide support to the
segments and oversee the implementation by the segments of
policies that reflect the principles of the charter in a concrete, effective
manner.

In accordance with oil and gas industry best practices (set out in
the IPIECA reporting guidance), the following safety, health and
environment information relates to the activities, sites and industrial
assets for which TOTAL S.A. or one of the companies it controls is
the operator (i.e., operates or has contractual responsibility for
managing operations). An exception is made for information
related to greenhouse gases, which is also expressed as a Group
share of all assets in which TOTAL has a stake.

4.2.1. Occupational health and safety

For many years, the Group has been developing a normative
framework related to occupational health and safety, security,
societal commitment and the environment (H3SE). In this respect,
directives have been drawn up for occupational health and safety.
These directives set out TOTAL’s requirements in these areas for
personnel working on its sites. Since 2013, the three business
segments have increased their efforts regarding the frameworks of
the H3SE management systems in order to provide greater overall
consistency, while at the same time respecting the businesses’
specific characteristics.

Indicators are used to measure the main results in these areas.
Monthly reporting of occupational accidents is used to monitor
performance at both the global and site levels.

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

For more than 10 years, the TRIR and the LTIR have declined
continuously. In 2015, the Group regrettably recorded nine
accidents that led to nine fatalities. A series of measures was
adopted in 2015. These are intended, in particular, to strengthen
safety monitoring of external contractor staff, who are the primary
victims of fatal accidents. These measures will be gradually rolled
out throughout 2016.

The Group’s safety efforts are focused on preventing major
accidents and accidental spills (refer to “ — 4.2.2.3. Incident risk”,
below, and “Item 15 — 4. Internal control and risk management
procedures (Article L. 225-37 of the French Commercial Code)”,
below), occupational accidents and transport accidents. They
cover both TOTAL employees and employees of external
contractors. The external contractors’ safety results are monitored
as closely as those for TOTAL employees. These efforts are
coordinated by the Group’s Industrial Safety Division and put into
practice by the Group’s entities with the support of the HSE
departments.

Safety is the subject of regular training activities, in particular at
management level (refer to “ — 4.2.2.1. General policy and
environmental targets”, below), as well as of a policy that
recognizes HSE performance, in particular by taking account of
safety-related criteria for the calculation of compensation (refer to
“Item 6 — B.1. Employees’ compensation”, below).

Since 2010, the basic rules to be scrupulously followed by all
personnel, employees and contractors alike, in all of the Group’s
businesses worldwide, have been set out in a safety document
entitled “Safety at Work: TOTAL’s Twelve Golden Rules”.
According to the Group’s internal statistics, in more than 85% 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 proper application of these golden rules, and more generally of
all occupational safety procedures, is verified through site visits
and internal audits. The World Day for Safety at Work on April 28,
2015, was dedicated to the golden rules and provided an
opportunity to assess how well they have been disseminated and
understood in the field five years after being introduced.
Consequently, so that these rules are better assimilated by all of
the Group’s employees as well as by those working for external
contractors, and to ensure they are implemented correctly,
additional obligations and prohibitions were added to these golden
rules. An e-learning program has been developed to train all
personnel in the 12 golden rules and will be rolled out in 2016.

Moreover, the reporting of anomalies (770,000 in 2015) and near
misses is strongly encouraged and monitored. The ability of each
employee to identify anomalies or dangerous situations is one of the
measures of the personnel’s involvement and vigilance in accident
prevention and reflects the safety culture within the Group. In late
2015, a “stop card” mechanism was implemented throughout the
Group. The stop card is the concrete expression of the authority
given to any Group employee or employee of an external contractor
to stop work in progress if he or she perceives there to be an
uncontrolled risk, and guarantees that no sanctions will be applied
even if the assessment of the situation proves to be incorrect.

An investigation is generally launched in response to any type of
accident whatsoever. The method and scope of investigation
depend on the actual or potential severity of the event. For
example, a near miss with a high severity potential level is treated
in the same way as a severe incident: its analysis is considered to
be a key driving force for progress and, depending on its relevance
to the Group’s other entities, triggers a safety alert and even the
dissemination of a feedback report.

Item 4 - E. Other Matters - 4. Social, environmental and societal information

Traffic risk management is an important component of the Group’s
safety policy. An extensive transporter assessment program,
launched in 2012 in Africa and the Middle East, revealed a 40%
decrease in the number of serious accidents (roll-overs and
collisions) between 2013 and 2015. This program, which includes
assistance provided to transporters to help them improve their
professional skills, has enabled them to achieve, in particular, higher
levels of profitability through the optimization of truck rotation. As a
result, transporters have been able to modernize their fleets and
ensure their compliance with TOTAL’s safety requirements.
Between 2012 and 2015, 98% of the transporters with contracts
with Marketing & Services subsidiaries in Africa and the Middle East
were inspected and 28% of the contracts were terminated due to
proven non-compliance. In 2015, 172 initial and 35 follow-up
inspections were performed. Given these results, this program is to
be extended to Marketing & Services’ Latin America and Asia-
Pacific regions. Within the more general framework of road vehicle
handling, and given that driver behavior is a key safety
consideration, TOTAL is pursuing its policy of training drivers and
demanding that they adhere strictly to the Group’s rules. Building
on the approach adopted for assessing transporters, the Africa-
Middle East region of Marketing & Services has, as of 2015,
introduced a similar process to improve the selection and
monitoring of external contractors that perform operations at its
sites.

With regard to health, the Group has drawn up a policy to define
TOTAL’s minimum requirements in terms of incident prevention
and the protection of health. In particular, based on the Industrial
Hygiene and Health at the Workplace directive, the Group’s
companies are expected to prepare and carry out a formal risk
assessment (chemical, physical, biological, ergonomic or
psychosocial), create a risk management action plan and provide
medical monitoring of staff in line with the risks to which they are
exposed.

illnesses, representing 63% of all recorded illnesses in 2015.
Following the 65% increase between 2013 and 2014, the
20% decrease recorded in 2015 proves that specific action
plans to control risk and improve working conditions must be
maintained over the long-term;
illnesses related to asbestos exposure decreased by 16%
compared to 2014, in line with the continuous decline over
several years due to the absence of recent exposure.

(cid:129)

A Medical Advisory Committee meets regularly to discuss key
health issues that may affect the Group’s employees. It consists of
external scientific experts and brings together TOTAL’s
management team and the relevant members of the Group. This
Committee provides scientific monitoring of health problems that

could impact the Group, thus enabling the best health protection
strategies to be put in place when necessary.

In support of the Group’s health policy and to complement the
periodic medical surveillance program currently in place and
organized by the Group’s medical staff, an employee health
observatory has also been set up. This observatory aims at
establishing health indicators for keeping track over the long term
of any medical conditions that could affect employees using a
population-based approach. This program can be used to quickly
identify the emergence of certain illnesses and, if applicable,
suggest and oversee appropriate preventive measures.
Approximately 13% of the Group’s employees worldwide,
whatever their position, age or horizon, took part anonymously in
this program, thereby providing a representative sample of the
Group’s different business segments and professions, including
administrative as much as operational staff. Based on the results,
actions were taken, particularly in the field of nutrition and quality
of sleep.

On a broader level, TOTAL is associated with promoting individual
and collective health in the countries where it operates, including
flu vaccination campaigns and prevention and screening programs
for certain diseases (AIDS, cancer, malaria, Ebola, etc.) for
employees, their families and local communities. For several years,
awareness campaigns have also been in place concerning, for
example, musculoskeletal disorder prevention and lifestyle risks
(anti-smoking and anti-drinking campaigns).

4.2.2. Environmental protection

4.2.2.1. General policy and environmental targets

The HSE departments and services within the Group’s entities
seek to ensure that both applicable local regulations and internal
minimum requirements are being met. The Group steering bodies,
led by the Sustainable Development and Environment department,
have a threefold task:

(cid:129)

(cid:129) monitoring TOTAL’s environmental performance, which is
reviewed annually by the Executive Committee, for which
multi-annual improvement targets are set;
handling, in conjunction with the business segments, the
various environment-related subjects under their
responsibility; and
promoting the internal standards to be applied by the Group’s
business units as set out in the Safety Health Environment
Quality Charter.

(cid:129)

The Group’s environmental targets, which were redefined in part at
the beginning of 2013 for the period up to 2017, were as follows:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

decrease flaring by 50% from 2005 to 2014 (excluding start-

improve the energy efficiency of Group facilities by 1.5% on
average per year from 2012 to 2017;
decrease greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 15% from
2008 to 2015;
obtain the “Total Ecosolutions” label for more than 50
products or services by 2015;
develop a Biodiversity Action Plan by 2015 for all Group
industrial sites(1) located in a IUCN(2) I to IV or Ramsar
convention protected area;
decrease by 40% the volume of hydrocarbons discharged in
the Group’s onshore and coastal wastewater from 2011 to
2017;

decrease Group SO2 emissions by 20% between 2010 and
2017; and
obtain ISO 14001 certification for 100% of the production
sites(1) by 2017.

At year-end 2015, TOTAL had reached, ahead of or on time, all of
the environmental targets it had set for 2014 and 2015: reduction
of GHG emissions and associated gas flaring; certification of its
main operated sites; obtaining the “Total Ecosolutions” label for
products and services; and development of a Biodiversity Action
Plan for sensitive sites. In addition, the Group is on track for
reaching the above-mentioned environmental targets set for 2017
on improving its facilities’ energy efficiency, obtaining ISO14001
certification for its main production sites and reducing SO2
emissions. The 2017 target for the reduction of hydrocarbons
discharged into water may not be met until 2018.

In order to pursue its progressive approach, the Group defined in
early 2016 a new set of coherent environmental targets aligned
with the 2010-2020 period:

(cid:129)

continue its efforts to reduce GHG emissions, particularly
through:

1.

2.

an 80% reduction of routine flaring(2) with the aim to
eliminate it by 2030, and
an average 1% improvement per year in the energy
efficiency of the Group’s operated facilities;

decrease SO2 air emissions by 50%; and

(cid:129)
(cid:129) maintain hydrocarbon content of water discharges below

30 mg/l for offshore sites and below 15 mg/l for onshore and
coastal sites.

In addition, the Group:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

develops Biodiversity Action Plans for production sites
located in protected areas(3);
does not conduct oil and gas exploration or production
operations at natural sites included on the UNESCO World
Heritage List(4) or in oil fields under sea ice in polar areas; and
reclaims more than half of its waste and will continue its
efforts in this area.

TOTAL is developing a policy to decrease the carbon intensity of
the Group’s productions (oil, gas, renewable energies) so as to
contribute to the evolution towards a lower carbon energy mix.

With regard more specifically to the certification objective, 100% of
the 71 production sites emitting more than 10 kt/year of GHG have
ISO 14001 certification since 2013. Overall, at year-end 2015, 290
sites had ISO 14001 certification. In addition, 2 sites in the process
of starting up are concerned by the Group’s policy and have been
allowed two years to obtain certification. These are CLOV (Angola),
which started up in June 2015, and Laggan-Tormorre (United
Kingdom), which started up in February 2016.

The environmental risks and impacts of any planned investment,
disposal or acquisition subject to Executive Committee approval
are assessed and reviewed before the final decision is made (also
refer to “Item 15 — 4. Internal control and risk management
procedures (Article L. 225-37 of the French Commercial Code)”).

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) and provides annual information about the Group’s
environmental performance.

H3SE training courses are organized for managers and senior
executives. In 2015, 48 training sessions were attended by
864 participations in 1,957 training days across 20 countries.
Three HSE training courses are made available to the business
units: “HSE for Managers”, “HSE Implementation” and “HSE
Leadership for Group Senior Executives”. The training session
“HSE for Managers” is aimed at senior managers and operational
or functional managers who are currently or will in the future be
responsible for one of the Group’s business units (four sessions
were held in 2015 with 214 participants). “HSE Implementation”
sessions are aimed at employees whose job is specifically to
handle one or more HSE or operational areas within a business
unit (one session was held in 2015 with 17 participants). This offer,
recently redesigned and presented to Oléum Dunkerque,
completes an existing course for the same target population
provided by the Group’s business segments. In addition, the “HSE
Leadership for Group Senior Executives” course focusing on
management styles has been organized since 2012 (two sessions
were held in 2015 with 29 participants). Since 2012, close to 260
senior executives have taken part in this program.

4.2.2.2. Environmental footprint

TOTAL implements an active policy of monitoring, managing and
reducing 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 Group’s operations generate emissions such as fumes at
combustion plants, emissions into the atmosphere from the
various conversion processes and discharges into wastewater. In
addition to complying with applicable legislation, the Group’s
companies actively pursue a policy aimed at reducing emissions.
Sites use various treatment systems that include organizational
measures (such as using predictive models to control peaks in SO2
emissions based on weather forecast data and the improvement of
combustion processes management) and technical measures
(such as setting up wastewater treatment plants, using low NOx
burners and the biological treatment of processed water).

The Refining & Chemicals segment has partnered with Ondeo
Industrial Solutions (Suez group) for an ambitious European project
launched in June 2013 called “E4Water” aimed at saving large
quantities of drinking water and reducing discharges of effluents.
Seven pilot research projects are being conducted at the
petrochemicals plant on the Normandy platform. A €1.2 million
budget was allocated to test three water treatment processes
(wastewater from the site’s water treatment plant, cooling water
and cooling blowdown). The pertinent technical knowledge
identified by this research could be used to reduce the water
footprint of facilities.

To ensure the quality of its wastewater discharge, TOTAL has set,
for all of its offshore exploration and production operations, a
target of complying with the hydrocarbon concentration
requirements set out in the OSPAR standard (less than 30 mg/l),
which is only mandatory in the North Sea. The Group has achieved
this goal for the past six years based on yearly averages.

N.B.: Because of the divestures made in the Specialty Chemicals activity over the
past years, it has been decided that the chemical oxygen demand in discharged
water will no longer be measured as of 2015.

The amount of hydrocarbons discharged in rivers, waterways and
coasts increased in 2015. This increase, despite good
performances in Gabon, is mainly due to the increase in treated
water volumes due to the aging of the field in Indonesia and a
deterioration in the Republic of the Congo, which led to the
decision to commission floaters on the Djeno site. This
implementation, planned in 2016, should enable to reduce the
quantity of hydrocarbons discharged.

Below are the Group’s achievements at year-end 2015 based on
the objectives for air and water set at the beginning of 2013:

16% reduction in hydrocarbon discharges in water (rivers,
waterways and coasts) since 2011, down from the -40%
target set for 2017; this target may not be reached until 2018;
40% reduction in SO2 emissions compared to 2010,
considerably above the -20% target set for 2017.

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

Soil

The risks of soil pollution related to TOTAL’s operations come
mainly from accidental spills (refer to “— 4.2.2.3. “Incident risk”,
below) and waste storage (see “Waste” below).

The Group’s approach to preventing and controlling these types of
pollution is based on four cornerstones:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

preventing leaks, by implementing industry best practices in
engineering, operations and transport;
carrying out maintenance at appropriate intervals to minimize
the risk of leaks;
overall monitoring of the environment to identify any soil and
groundwater pollution; and
controlling pollution from previous activities by means of
containment or reduction operations.

In addition, a Group directive published in 2014 defines the
following minimum requirements:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

systematic identification of each site’s 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 site’s
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

(cid:129) management of health or environmental impacts identified

based on the use of the site (current or future, if any) and the
risk acceptability criteria recommended by the World Health
Organization (WHO) and the Group.

Lastly, decommissioned Group facilities (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.
TOTAL has a site remediation policy with the aim to, in agreement
with the authorities, allow new operations to be set up once the
future use of the land has been determined. These remediation
operations are conducted by the Group’s specialized entities. The

Group’s provisions for the protection of the environment and site
remediation are detailed in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

Waste

The Group’s companies are focused on controlling the waste
produced at every stage in their operations. This commitment is
based on the following four principles, listed in decreasing order of
priority:

1.

2.

3.
4.

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
Group’s 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.

A Group directive revised in 2014 sets out the minimum
requirements related to waste management. It 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 site’s
responsibility.

TOTAL is especially committed to managing and treating waste
classified as hazardous. Due to its nature, hazardous waste is
mainly treated outside the Group by specialized companies (202 kt
in 2015 compared with 223 kt in 2014 and 232 kt in 2013).

industrial sites.

Monitoring systems can be put in place (sound level
measurements at the site perimeter, networks of “noses” to
determine the origin and intensity of odors, etc.). In addition, most
sites have a system for receiving and handling residents’
complaints, the aim of which is to gain a clearer insight into the
different types of nuisances and minimize them (refer to
“— 4.3.3. Controlling the impact of the Group’s activities”, below).

-

4.2.2.3. Incident risk

The Group has management structures and systems that present
similar requirements and expectations across all the entities.
TOTAL strives to minimize the potential impacts of its operations
on people, the environment and property through a major risk
management policy. This policy draws on a shared approach that
includes, on the one hand, risk identification and analysis, and on
the other hand, the management of these risks.

This structured approach applies to all of the Group’s operated
businesses exposed to major risks. It first sets out an analysis of
the risks related to these industrial operations based on incident
scenarios for which the probability of occurrence and the severity
of the consequences are assessed.

Item 4 - E. Other Matters - 4. Social, environmental and societal information

Based on these parameters, a prioritization matrix is used to
determine whether further measures are needed in addition to
compliance with the Group’s standards and local regulations.
These mainly include preventive measures but can also include
mitigation measures.

In addition to its drilling and pipeline transport operations, the
Group has 232 entities corresponding to:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

Seveso industrial sites (upper and lower threshold) and their
equivalents outside the EU; and
offshore and onshore operating activities in Exploration &
Production.

The management of major risks also hinges on:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)
(cid:129)

(cid:129)

staff training and raising awareness (refer to “— 4.2.2.1.
General policy and environmental targets”, above);
a coherent event reporting and indicators system;
systematic, structured event analysis, particularly to learn
lessons in terms of design and operation; and
regularly tested contingency plans and measures.

In terms of monitoring indicators, the Group reports the number of
Tier 1 events as defined by the API and the IOGP. Despite the
increase observed in 2015 compared to 2014, the number of
losses of primary containment was lower than in 2013. Like others
in the industry, TOTAL believes that process safety indicators
cover a long cycle and progress is to be assessed over the long
term. In addition to the 51 Tier 1 operational events indicated in the
table below, the Group recorded two other Tier 1 events due to
sabotage or theft in 2015.

After reclassifying two events that occurred in 2014 in Marketing & Services,
the figure given for 2014 was revised to 39 events (compared to 37 initially).

In accordance with industry best practices, TOTAL also monitors
accidental liquid hydrocarbon spills of more than one barrel. Spills
that exceed a certain severity threshold (whether in terms of
volume spilled, toxicity of the product in question or sensitivity of
the natural environment affected) are reviewed on a monthly basis
and annual statistics are sent to the Group Performance
Management Committee. All accidental spills are followed by
corrective actions aimed at returning the environment to its original
state as quickly as possible.

The 2014 volume was revised: the spill into the natural environment resulting
from the leak in the Île-de-France pipeline is estimated at 500 m3. This event
led to remediation operations that enabled nearly all spilled hydrocarbons to be
recovered, along with the unspilled contents of the pipeline (i.e., a total of
5,000 m3 as initially reported).

In addition, the Group has set up a crisis management process
with a dedicated organization (also refer to “Item 15 — 4.3.1.
Monitoring of risk management systems”, below). As part of this
process, TOTAL regularly trains in crisis management on the basis
of risk scenarios identified through analyses. Based on feedback
from past events, in 2014 the Group restructured the crisis
management center at the head office to enable the management
of two simultaneous crises. In particular, the Group has emergency
plans and procedures in place in the event of a hydrocarbon leak

56

or spill. For accidental spills that reach the surface, anti-pollution
plans are regularly reviewed and tested during exercises. These
plans are specific to each company or site and are adapted to
their structure, activities and environment while complying with
Group recommendations.

A plan to mobilize resources against pollution (PARAPOL) is
available to the Group’s companies, which also have assistance
agreements with the main third-party bodies specializing in oil spill
management (refer to “Item 15 — 4.3.1. Monitoring of risk
management systems”, below).

In 2014, the last of the four capping systems resulting from the
work carried out by the Subsea Well Response Project, a
consortium of nine oil companies including TOTAL, was deployed.
These systems are positioned in various parts of the world (South
Africa, Brazil, Singapore, Norway) to provide solutions that can be
launched into action in the event of deep offshore drilling pollution
incidents. In addition, TOTAL is building its own capping
equipment as part of its Subsea Emergency Response System
project. A portion of this equipment was delivered to Angola in
2015 and another one will be delivered to Nigeria in 2016.

With regard to shipping, the Group has an internal policy setting
out the rules for selecting vessels. These rules are based on the
recommendations of the Oil Company International Marine Forum
(OCIMF), an industry association consisting of the main global oil
companies that promotes best practices in oil shipping, and on its
Ship Inspection Report (SIRE) Programme. TOTAL does not
charter any single-hulled vessels for shipping hydrocarbons and
the average age of the fleet chartered on time by TOTAL’s
Shipping division is approximately five years.

4.2.2.4. Sustainable use of resources

Water

To determine which facilities are most affected by the availability of
fresh water, TOTAL conducts identification procedures of water
withdrawals and discharges across all of its sites.

2013

Fresh water withdrawals excluding cooling

water (million m³)

118

112

126

The increase in water withdrawals between 2014 and 2015 is due
mainly to the increase in activity of certain refineries in maintenance
shutdown in 2014, the consolidation of Sobegi (France) within the
operated scope of Exploration & Production and, to a lesser
degree, the increase in New Energies’ solar business.

From 2012 to 2015, TOTAL used the World Resource Institute’s
Global Water Tool, WRI Acqueduct and, since 2013, has been
identifying the risk levels of its sites with withdrawals of more than
500,000 m³/year located in areas of potential risk to the water
resource. The Local Water Tool (LWT) developed by the Global
Environmental Management Initiative (GEMI) is more suitable and is
now used to perform these water risk assessments and to guide
the actions needed to reduce these risks in order to optimize the
use of water resources at these sites.

Item 4 - E. Other Matters - 4. Social, environmental and societal information

At year-end 2015, 10 of the Group’s sites (8 in Refining &
Chemicals and 2 in Exploration & Production) were assessed for
their level of water risk. These assessments will be progressively
extended to priority sites and accompanied by an action plan to
reduce risk and optimize water resource use at these sites.

In Exploration & Production operations, reinjecting water extracted
along with hydrocarbons (known as produced water) back into the
original reservoir is one of the methods used to maintain reservoir
pressure. The technical specifications in force in the Group
stipulate that this option be prioritized over other methods. The
Group’s R&D programs make it possible to examine the best
techniques for treating this produced water so as to facilitate its
reinjection or consider its recovery and otherwise discharge it into
the natural environment while respecting natural and regulatory
constraints.

Efforts to optimize water risk management tools are being made
both internally, with the LWT (used as a multi-site notice board),
and externally, via the IPIECA, which is developing an e-learning
module to extend and facilitate access to these tools.

Approximately 83% of the fresh water withdrawals were taken
from the Refining & Chemicals segment in 2015. At refineries and
petrochemicals sites, water is mainly used to produce steam and
for cooling units. Increasing recycling and replacing water cooling
with air cooling, such as at the Normandy (France) and Antwerp
(Belgium) refineries, are TOTAL’s preferred approaches for
reducing fresh water withdrawals.

Soil

TOTAL uses the ground surface that it needs to safely conduct its
industrial operations and, to date, does not make extensive use of
ground surfaces that could substantially conflict with various
natural ecosystems or agriculture.

For open-pit oil sands mining projects, TOTAL strives to ensure
that environmental issues are managed by the operator, in
particular with regard to the remediation of affected soils.

Raw materials

Hydrocarbons, an energetic material, are the Group’s main raw
material. Optimum use of hydrocarbons therefore lies in what is
known as “energy efficiency”, as described in “— 4.2.3.4. Energy
efficiency and ecoperformance” below.

4.2.2.5. Protecting biodiversity and ecosystem
services

Given their nature, the Group’s projects, and particularly
Exploration & Production projects, may be located in sensitive
natural environments. TOTAL’s operations can therefore have an
impact on ecosystems and their biodiversity.

TOTAL is aware of these challenges and takes biodiversity and
ecosystem services into account in its guidelines and operations:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

in the Safety Health Environment Quality Charter, which
specifies that TOTAL “is committed to managing (…) its use
of natural resources and its impact on biodiversity” and,
therefore, supports ecosystem services; and
in the biodiversity approach, set within the Group’s
environmental framework, which incorporates the following
core principles for action:

1. Deploy the “avoid – mitigate – compensate”

hierarchy: TOTAL applies this approach for the duration
of its projects’ lifecycle to minimize the impact of its
activities on biodiversity.

2.

Take into account environmental sensitivity of
ecosystems: as part of the course of its business,
TOTAL identifies and takes into account the diversity and
sensitivity of various environments in terms of
biodiversity.

3. Manage biodiversity: TOTAL incorporates the
biodiversity impact and risk management into its
environmental management systems and refers to good
practices within the industry.

4. Report: TOTAL reports to its stakeholders on its

5.

biodiversity performance.
Improve knowledge of biodiversity: TOTAL
participates in the improvement of knowledge of
biodiversity and ecosystem services as well as managing
the stakes involved, through R&D initiatives taken with
local and international partners, professional associations
and the Total Foundation.

The Group made a commitment not to engage in oil and gas
exploration or extraction operations at natural sites included on the
UNESCO World Heritage List of June 4, 2013; in addition, TOTAL
currently does not conduct any exploration activities in oil fields
under the sea ice in polar areas. In the Democratic Republic of the
Congo, TOTAL made the commitment to not carry out any
exploration activity in the Virunga National Park, partly located in
Block III of the Graben Albertine.
To develop its projects located in sensitive habitats, TOTAL
developed, based on the sensitivity and impact analysis, a
Biodiversity Action Plan for Group operated sites located in the
most sensitive protected areas corresponding to IUCN I to IV or
Ramsar categories. Two biodiversity action plans were developed
in 2015, in Gabon (Atora) and the Republic of the Congo (Djeno);
other plans are expected to be developed, such as in Uganda and
Papua-New-Guinea.
The Group actively contributes to the development of best
practices related to biodiversity and ecosystem services
management in the extractive industry through its partnerships
with IPIECA, the Cross-Sector Biodiversity Initiative (which brings
together the Equator Principles signatory banks and the mining
and oil industries), the United Nation Environment Programme’s
World Conservation Monitoring (UNEP-WCMC) and other work
groups on biodiversity bringing together stakeholders from the
private sector (international NGOs, governments, universities, the
World Bank, etc.). In France, TOTAL continues its partnership with
the Fondation pour la Recherche sur la Biodiversité (Foundation for
biodiversity research) and the Centre Vétérinaire de la Faune
Sauvage et des Ecosystèmes des Pays de la Loire.
4.2.3. Climate change
The Group’s strategy incorporates the challenges of climate
change using the International Energy Agency 2°C scenario
(450 ppm) as a point of reference. TOTAL’s challenge is to
contribute to satisfying the demand for energy of the world’s
growing population while providing concrete solutions to limit the
effects of climate change.
To do so, the Group focuses its actions around the following key
points:
(cid:129)

developing natural gas as the primary fossil energy source
due to its lower carbon intensity;
selecting and developing hydrocarbon projects based on their
economic merit order, which incorporates their resistance to
low price scenarios;
developing the solar energy offer as the renewable energy of
choice in the evolution of the energy mix, as well as the
production of biofuels from biomass;

(cid:129)

57

Item 4 - E. Other Matters - 4. Social, environmental and societal information

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

improving the energy efficiency of the Group’s facilities,
products and services, and maintaining efforts to reduce
direct emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG);
increasing access to more sustainable energy, for as many
people as possible, particularly by means of an innovative
solar energy solution; and
stimulating initiatives in the oil and gas sector and supporting
the implementation of an international framework on climate.

To ensure that investment projects are as profitable as anticipated
in the desirable event that the international community agrees to
put a cost on CO2 emissions, investments have been valued since
2008 generally based on a cost of €25 per ton of CO2 emitted. As
of 2016, new investments projects presented to the Executive
Committee are evaluated using a cost of $30 to $40 per ton of
CO2 emitted depending on the price scenario retained. This cost
bracket is consistent with the prices generally required to favor, on
the one hand, gas over coal for producing electricity and, on the
other hand, R&D in new low-carbon technologies.

-

4.2.3.1. The role of gas

Natural gas rose from 35% in 2005 to nearly 50% of TOTAL’s
production in 2015 and is expected to contribute to approximately
half of the Group’s production in the coming years.

The Group believes in the essential role of natural gas as one of
the solutions to climate change issues. Indeed, replacing coal with
natural gas at power plants could help reduce worldwide CO2
emissions by 5 Bt/y, i.e., approximately 10% of worldwide
emissions(1). The reduction of GHG emissions linked to the use of
gas requires limiting methane losses to less than 3% throughout
the entire production value chain. Since methane’s global warming
(2) and given its short life span
potential is 25 times higher than CO2
in the atmosphere, a reduction in methane emissions is expected
to play a significant role in the fight against climate change.

Due to the nature of its activities, the Group’s methane losses are
structurally less than 1%. The Group strengthened its commitment
on this theme of methane losses in 2014 by becoming one of the
first members of the partnership between governments and
industry companies regarding the improvement of tools to
measure and control methane emissions set up by the Climate
and Clean Air Coalition and promoted by the UN Environment
Programme and the non-profit organization Environmental Defense
Fund.

-

4.2.3.2. Project selection

Particular care is taken when selecting and developing the Group’s
oil projects, based on their economic merit incorporating their
resistance to low price scenarios. This notably involves giving
priority to low cost oil projects.

In Canada, in the context of the lower oil prices, the Group
decided to limit its exposure to oil sands and reduced its interest in
the Fort Hills project from 39.2% to 29.2% in November 2015. On
the Joslyn (38.25%, operator) and Northern Lights (50% operator)
oil sands licenses, the projects were suspended and works have
been strictly limited to legal and contractual obligations, and
maintaining safety.

In the United-States, R&D-stage oil shale projects (in situ and ex-
situ production technology) in which the Group holds a stake
(through American Shale Oil LLC, 55.7%, and the 50/50 joint

venture with the company Red Leaf Resources), including the
development of the Red Leaf pilot, have been deferred.

Beyond its oil projects, the Group has ceased its coal production
activities following the sale in August 2015 of its subsidiary Total
Coal South Africa and, in addition, has announced the termination
of its coal marketing activities by year-end 2016.

-

4.2.3.3. Developing renewable energies

For some 15 years, TOTAL has been committed to developing
renewable energies. The Group’s activities in this area are set out
in “— B.4.2. New Energies”, above. The Group’s priority strategic
development is solar energy through its interest in SunPower,
57.48% owned by the Group as of December 31, 2015).

In addition to solar energy, biomass is TOTAL’s second strategic
development area in the field of renewable energies. In general,
biomass represents approximately 10% of worldwide energy
consumption and is mostly used for heating or cooking purposes.
Biomass is the only renewable alternative to fossil resources for the
provision of liquid fuel for transport (biodiesel, bioethanol,
biokerosene), lubricants and base molecules for chemicals
(solvents or polymers).

TOTAL invests in R&D to reduce direct GHG emissions into the
atmosphere by other means. For example, through Total Energy
Ventures (TEV), its venture capital firm created in 2008, the Group
supports the development of companies that offer innovative
technologies or business models in such areas as renewable
energies, energy efficiency, energy storage and sustainable
mobility. For instance, in 2015 TEV acquired a stake in Off-Grid
Electric, a supplier of electricity produced by solar energy in African
rural areas that have no or poor grid connection. At year-end
2015, TEV had made 24 investments.

-

4.2.3.4. Energy efficiency and ecoperformance

In its scope of activities, TOTAL has made reducing GHG
emissions one of its priorities. The Group exceeded its objective of
reducing GHG emissions from its operated activities by 15% from
2008 to 2015. The reduction of GHG emissions entails reducing
continuous flaring and improving energy efficiency.

Since 2000, TOTAL has made a commitment to stop continuous
flaring of gas associated with crude production for its new
projects. The Group’s objective to reduce continuous flaring by
half between 2005 and 2014 has been achieved. The flaring
objective was redefined (refer to “ — 4.2.2.1. General policy and
environmental targets”, above): the new objective is to reduce
routine flaring(3) for the 2010-2020 period by 80%, for this to be
eliminated by 2030.

Item 4 - E. Other Matters - 4. Social, environmental and societal information

For over 10 years, as part of the Global Gas Flaring Reduction
program, TOTAL has worked alongside the World Bank to help
producing countries and industrial players control continuous
flaring of associated gas.

Flaring of associated gas declined sharply in 2015 (-27% compare
to 2014), in particular due the end of flaring related to the start-up
(in 2014) of CLOV in Angola as well as operational improvements
carried out in Nigeria at the Ofon offshore field, which ceased its
continuous flaring. Excluding volumes related to the start-up of
facilities, the volumes of flared associated gas totaled 6.8 Mm³/d in
2015.

Improving the energy efficiency of the Group’s facilities

One of the Group’s performance targets is to better control energy
consumption. Internal documents (roadmaps and guides) describe
the challenges and set out methodologies and action plans. Since
the beginning of 2013, a Group directive has defined the
requirements to be met by year-end 2016 at operated sites that
use more than 50,000 tons of oil equivalent per year of primary
energy (approximately 40 sites).

In early 2013, the Group set an objective to improve energy
efficiency by 1.5% per year on average between 2012 and 2017
within Exploration & Production, Refining and Petrochemicals.
These activities represent over 95% of the Group’s net primary
energy consumption. A Group Energy Efficiency Index (GEEI) was
created in early 2013 to assess the Group’s 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, reduced to base 100 and consolidated with a weighting
by each business’s net primary energy consumption. Its value was
defined as 100 in 2012 and the goal is therefore to reach 92.5 by
2017. Within the scope of the alignment of the Group’s objectives
for the 2010-2020 period, the objective for this period is an
average 1% improvement per year in the energy efficiency of the
Group’s operated facilities.

The Group’s very good energy efficiency performance in 2015 is
the result of the end of start-up flaring of the CLOV field in Angola,
and the commissioning of the gas exportation project from the
Ofon site in Nigeria to the Bonny natural gas liquefaction plant, as
well as permanent efforts to improve the availability rate of the
Group’s facilities.

The Group is implementing energy management systems based
on ISO 50001. The Leuna refinery and Brunsbüttel bitumen plant
(Germany) were certified, as well as several Marketing & Services
sites in France in 2015: the Solaize research center, the Saint-
Martin d’Hères site, as well as 7 depots and 193 service stations.
At Exploration & Production, Total ABK (Adu Dhabi) also received
this certification in early 2016.

Improving the environmental footprint of products and
services

Approximately 85% of GHG related to the use of oil and gas are
emitted during the customer usage phase, compared to 15%
during the production phase. For this reason, in addition to the
measures taken by TOTAL at its industrial sites, the Group believes
that improving the environmental footprint of its products is a key
factor in the fight against climate change.

The Group has acquired energy service subsidiaries in France and
Germany, working mainly for European customers, as well as in
Africa and the Middle East. These service companies use results
obtained in-house to give industrial customers advice on improving
their performance and energy efficiency.

In France, Energy Efficiency Certificates (Certificats d’économies
d’énergie – CEE) are awarded by the authorities in recognition of
energy-saving activities and, within this framework, TOTAL has
encouraged its customers to reduce their energy consumption.
Action taken since 2011 has led to a reduction in its French
clients’ energy consumption of 10 Twh/y and its German clients’
power bill of approximately €150 million.

Through the “Total Ecosolutions” program, the Group is also
developing innovative products and services that perform above
market standards on the environmental front, in particular in terms
of reducing energy use, GHG emissions and the impact on human
health. At year-end 2015, 81 products and services bore the “Total
Ecosolutions” label, well above the target of 50 products and
services. They relate to a variety of sectors, including mobility,
agriculture, buildings, packaging, infrastructure and industrial
manufacturing. For example, Total Amyris biodiesel and
biocomponent for aviation fuel are produced from renewable raw
materials that allow a significant reduction in GHG emissions over
their life cycle (compared to the fossil equivalent). Some of the
products result in reduced energy consumption, such as Total
Excellium fuel, Total Quartz Fuel Economy lubricant, and the Azalt®
ECO2 and Styrelf® ECO2 bitumen ranges.

The CO2 eq 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 1.7 Mt CO2 eq in 2015.
4.2.3.5. Access to energy
-

The World Bank estimate for the number of people without access
to electricity has exceeded 1.3 billion. In 2011, TOTAL therefore
launched a range of innovative solar energy solutions, accessible
to the greatest number of people, led by its flagship project
Awango by Total (refer to “ — 4.3.4.5. “Giving the most
disadvantaged populations greater access to energy”, below).

-

4.2.3.6. Sector initiatives and international framework

In 2014, TOTAL decided to join 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. TOTAL also works
alongside the World Bank as part of the Carbon Pricing Leadership
Coalition. 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,
provided that great care is taken to protect “sectors exposed to
carbon leakage” (as defined by the EU). To this end, six oil industry
leaders, including that of the Group, called for the setting up of
carbon pricing mechanisms at the UN Framework Convention on
Climate Change in June 2015.

According to the IEA, the electricity-generating sector is the sector
that must contribute most to the decrease of CO2 emissions in the
world by 2035 in order to remain within the 450 ppm of CO2
scenario (electricity generation contributes more than 65% to the
emission reduction effort, compared to 11% for the industrial

2015 Form 20-F TOTAL S.A.

59

Item 4 - E. Other Matters - 4. Social, environmental and societal information

sector, 16% for transport and 4% for the construction sector).
Substituting coal for gas in the electricity-generating sector is
currently the fastest and cheapest way to reduce worldwide CO2
emissions. This solution is immediately available and offers the
necessary flexibility to electric networks, which supplements
intermittent energies. As a result, TOTAL supports standards that
impose emission ceilings on electricity generation. Such standards
are being discussed in the United States and the United Kingdom.

In 2014, TOTAL was actively involved in launching and developing
the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI), a global industry
partnership announced at the UN Climate Summit in New York on
September 23, 2014. The aim of this initiative, which at year-end
2015 included 10 major international energy players, is to share
experiences, advance technological solutions and catalyze
meaningful action in order to assist the evolution of the energy mix
in a manner compatible with climate change issues. In September
2015, the executives of the member companies published the first
OGCI report, accompanied by a joint declaration of their support
for an ambitious climate agreement, during a debate on energy
and climate issues with international experts.

TOTAL actively followed the deliberations of the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change during the COP21
conference held in Paris, which, on December 12, 2015, resulted in
the Paris Agreement, the first universal agreement on climate change.

TOTAL also actively participates in the debate on climate issues
and has long-term partnerships with key stakeholders. For
example, TOTAL funds research programs in France conducted by
the ADEME, Paris-Saclay and the Climate Economics Chair at
Paris-Dauphine University, as well as the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology (MIT) in the United States. TOTAL has also been an
active member of the World Business Council for Sustainable
Development since 2014. Lastly, TOTAL offers training and makes
presentations at several universities, thereby taking part in the
debate.

4.3.

Societal information

4.3.1.

TOTAL’s societal approach

In line with the values and principles set out in its Code of Conduct
and Safety Health Environment and Quality Charter, TOTAL places
its commitment to community development at the heart of its
corporate responsibility in order to create shared value with people
living near its facilities, its customers and suppliers, and its
employees. Dialogue with stakeholders, impact management and
the creation of shared value are the pillars of the Group’s societal
policy.

This approach, which is deployed in direct relation with operations,
encompasses all actions taken by the Group to improve the way it
is integrated in the countries where it operates. In line with the
strategic priorities defined by senior management, reporting tools
are used to track and monitor overall societal performance. Eight
indicators, which are based on the societal policy, cover the quality
of dialogue with stakeholders, the management of the impact of
the Group’s activities, socioeconomic development projects and
access to energy. Four topics have been identified as “Group
Priorities”: education, employment, road safety, and access to
energy.

4.3.2. Dialogue and involvement with stakeholders

Openness, dialogue and engagement are essential for developing
long-term, constructive and transparent relations with
stakeholders. For the past 20 years or so, changes in the
regulatory framework have promoted information, consultation and
dialogue prior to high-impact decisions being made.

In addition to complying with regulations, TOTAL encourages
dialogue at every level of its organization. The foremost

60

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

requirement of the societal directive is that “each asset must
consult its stakeholders regularly to gain a clearer understanding of
their expectations and concerns, measure their level of satisfaction
regarding the Group and identify avenues of improvement for its
societal strategy”.

-

4.3.2.1. Stakeholder consultation

In Exploration & Production, dialogue is initiated within the
framework of societal baseline studies carried out to identify at a
very early stage, even before the start of operational activities,
stakeholders that may potentially be affected and to understand
the human socioeconomic context of the area in question. The
Community Liaison Officer (CLO) maintains a dialogue between the
subsidiary and the local communities. CLOs, who are employees
of TOTAL, are members of the local community and therefore
speak the local language and understand local customs; as such
they often play a key role in facilitating the company’s integration
into the local context. To formalize and organize relations with
stakeholders, agreements may also be signed and meetings held,
such as public consultations.

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a Consultation
Committee composed of 10 members (5 women and 5 men)
elected from among those living in the permit area was set up. The
first Committee meeting was held in the presence of the Territory
Administrator and representatives of the Ministry of Hydrocarbons.

In Azerbaijan, the consultation of local stakeholders
(administration, nearby industrial players, the public, existing
training centers, local NGOs, etc.) continued in 2015 in preparation
for the development of the deep offshore discovery in the
Absheron Block, which includes the construction of an onshore
terminal.

In addition to holding regulatory forums for dialogue,
Refining & Chemicals has voluntarily set up structures for dialogue
with local stakeholders (such as Community Advisory Panels in the
United States and special commissions for some European
platforms). In 2015, Refining & Chemicals signed the Responsible
Care® Global Charter for its worldwide operated petrochemical
activities, thereby reaffirming its commitment to the safe handling
of chemicals. One of the principles of this Charter is to engage
stakeholders in order to understand and respond to their concerns
on improving operational and product safety.

-

4.3.2.2.

Implementation of the SRM+ tool

To put its societal approach on a professional footing, TOTAL has
applied its internal Stakeholder Relationship Management (SRM+)
methodology since 2006. The aim of this methodology is to identify
and map the main stakeholders, schedule meetings with them,
understand their views and issues, and then define an action plan
for building a long-term relationship. It makes it possible to
establish a trust-based relationship and work with complete
transparency. These discussions allow the Group to identify
expectations to which it can respond and consolidate the societal
strategy of the subsidiaries and sites. Since 2006, SRM+ has been
implemented in over 100 entities.

In 2015, in Exploration & Production, this was the case in Papua
New Guinea, where the methodology was adapted to carry out
due diligence in order to better understand the societal practices
of the former operator and to consult with those living around the
site.

In Refining & Chemicals, the methodology was implemented in
France on the Donges platform in the Loire-Atlantique region.

In Marketing & Services, a specific module was set up for small
sites, allowing 11 subsidiaries of the Africa – Middle East division
to begin a consultation process with stakeholders in 2015 at

Item 4 - E. Other Matters - 4. Social, environmental and societal information

33 sites (service stations, depots and head offices). Four countries
(Algeria, Lebanon, Democratic Republic of the Congo and
Mauritania) launched this initiative for the first time, while others are
implementing it for new sites or have relaunched a consultation
procedure after several years. A total of 39 countries have
implemented SRM+ in this region.

In 2015, a new and more streamlined SRM+ guide and manual for
managers and operational staff was drawn up to include new
developments made since the tool was first launched in 2007.

-

4.3.2.3. Respecting the rights of indigenous peoples

TOTAL is aware of the specificities of indigenous and tribal peoples
(as referred to in International Labour Organization’s Convention
No. 169) and has developed a charter of principles and guidelines
regarding indigenous and tribal peoples to be followed with
communities that are in contact with its subsidiaries. This Charter
encourages the use of experts in order to identify and understand
these peoples’ expectations and specificities, consult with them
and contribute to their socioeconomic development.

Convinced that respect for the human rights of local populations is
a cornerstone of its industrial projects, TOTAL participated in the
work of IPIECA (the global oil and gas industry association for
environmental and social issues) to develop the guide entitled
“Indigenous peoples and the oil and gas industry: context, issues
and emerging good practices”. The Group thus shared its
experience with the Guarani people in Bolivia. Partnerships have
been forged with institutions known to be experts in their field in
order to enhance the societal team’s professionalism in
implementing projects and allow for benefits to be shared equitably
and transparently. A number of socioeconomic development
initiatives have been launched to support the fight against
discrimination, especially gender discrimination.

A chance archaeological discovery (bones, ceramic fragments,
etc.) made by Total E&P Bolivia at the Incahuasi field during
construction work was managed in collaboration with the Bolivian
authorities and the local Guarani communities. Social and
environmental monitors from these communities provided
oversight of the archaeological site. At the request of the Guarani
communities, TOTAL changed the architecture of its construction
project and agreed to re-bury the remains in the same place where
they were found and ensure communities retained access to this
sacred place.

4.3.3. Controlling the impact of the Group’s activities

To better control the impact of its operations, the Group has
integrated its societal approach into its operational processes via
the Group’s H3SE (industrial hygiene, safety, security, societal and
environment) management system, known as MAESTRO
(Management And Expectations Standards Towards Robust
Operations). Audits conducted with MAESTRO give rise to
recommendations and strengthen efforts in order to better manage
the societal impacts of the Group’s operations.

-

4.3.3.1. Conducting impact assessments

An understanding of the socioeconomic context is gained through
a baseline study, which is generally accompanied by a
consultation phase involving local stakeholders.

In Exploration & Production, impact assessments are carried out
before any operation to avoid, reduce and compensate for
negative impacts. In 2015, a team of some 20 people in Papua
New Guinea was recruited to prepare geotechnical studies and
undertake societal and environmental assessments of the potential
Papua LNG project sites. The technical team used the results of
the assessment to minimize the potential impacts on the local
population.

In Uganda, the results of the societal and health baseline study
were incorporated into an Environmental, Social and Health Impact
Assessment and specifications were submitted to the government
for approval. A Preliminary Resettlement Action Plan was
developed along with a risk identification methodology. Following
the exploration phase, the subsidiary commissioned a consultant
(ASLO) and an international NGO (International Alert) to conduct an
ex-post assessment of its societal performance with an analysis
based on consultation of the local populations.

In addition, to assess the impact of its operations in host countries,
the Group regularly works with CDA, an independent non-profit
organization. In 2015, CDA conducted an assessment in Argentina
and a number of recommendations were made in a report to
better integrate operations into the local socioeconomic fabric.
CDA impact assessments systematically produce reports, which
are available online on the organization’s website.

Finally, the MOST (Management Operational Societal Tool) now
offers a standard version that allows users to manage stakeholder
relations, site-related grievances and societal projects. Specific
modules (access to land, compensation and employment) can be
added to this common framework. Societal data is geo-
referenced, with automatic display in a geographic information
system. MOST generates reports that serve as a basis for the
analysis of societal performance. This tool is used as part of the
professionalization of local teams. In 2015, this tool was used in
13 countries and will be implemented more widely in 2016.

-

4.3.3.2. Handling grievances from local communities

A grievance mechanism is gradually being introduced at all the
Group’s subsidiaries and sites. These systems are already in place
at all Refining & Chemicals platforms.

In Exploration & Production, a guide on the handling of grievances,
inspired by the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human
Rights, was drawn up in 2013. In Denmark, for example,
grievances received during the drilling of an exploration well were
recorded in MOST and follow-up action was taken by the CLO.
This grievance mechanism was also implemented in 2015 in
Papua New Guinea and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The Group’s expertise contributed to the development by IPIECA
of a Community Grievance Mechanism Toolbox that is now
available on its website. In 2014, Marketing & Services published a
brochure to raise awareness of grievance management to allow
the segment’s subsidiaries and operating sites to become familiar
with this subject and introduce a dedicated system separate from
the one used to handle commercial complaints. This mechanism
was incorporated into Marketing & Service’s societal framework.

-

4.3.3.3.

Improving road safety

Road safety is one of the Group’s priorities (also refer to “— 4.2.1.
“Occupational health and safety”, above), particularly in terms of
societal matters.

To mobilize the public and private sectors, TOTAL created in 2012
an independent organization known as Safe Way Right Way with a
view to mobilize partners, raise funds, set up training and
awareness initiatives and improve regulations and their
implementation.

TOTAL is a member of the Global Road Safety Partnership
(GRSP). The aim of this public-private partnership is to improve
road safety and share expertise in this area. In this context, the
Group has partnered with Toyota to help implement the “Safe to
school – Safe to home” program developed by the GRSP in
Zambia. TOTAL also co-financed the African Road Safety 2015
conference organized by the GRSP in Lusaka, during which public

2015 Form 20-F TOTAL S.A.

61

Item 4 - E. Other Matters - 4. Social, environmental and societal information

authorities, international institutions and the private sector were
able to discuss their policies regarding road safety in Africa.

The “Safety Cube”, a box containing fun educational materials,
supports road safety awareness campaigns in schools. Made
available by the subsidiaries in 37 countries in the Africa – Middle
East region in partnership with education and transport ministries
and local NGOs and through the active involvement of employees,
this program has grown and supports such initiatives as the
opening of the Children’s Road Safety Education Center in
Senegal. This program was also deployed in Asia, where
3,000 children have already been made aware of road safety
issues in around 10 countries over the past two years. In total,
nearly 440,000 children were made aware of the dangers of the
road.

A qualitative study was carried out in 2015 by the GRSP with four
subsidiaries (South Africa, Kenya, Morocco and Zambia) on the
use of the Cube. The purpose of this study was to receive
feedback on how the project is perceived by the schools in which
the program was deployed. The large majority of teachers stated
they were satisfied and felt that the educational content was
pertinent and effective. One suggested area for improvement is to
integrate this project into a wider road safety strategy that includes
action on schools surroundings and involves local communities
more.

In France, TOTAL has, since 1995, contributed to the 10 de
Conduite Jeune training operation for young drivers in cooperation
with the French national police, Groupama and Renault. Each
year, this initiative raises awareness among more than
10,000 junior and secondary school students.

4.3.4. Creating local value

TOTAL’s goal is to act and be recognized both as a partner in the
long-term economic and social development of the communities
and regions in which the Group operates, and as a key player in
access to energy. The Group has a special responsibility to the
communities living close to its facilities and endeavors to make its
activities a source of value and opportunity for them.

TOTAL is building a global, integrated local development approach
(“In-Country Value”) that creates synergies among all the value-
creating elements for host countries (infrastructures, support for
local industries, employment, subcontracting, socioeconomic
development projects, education, access to energy, etc.) by
promoting the Group’s industrial know-how. This approach is
reflected in two key strategies: on the one hand, the Group’s
commitment to local content and, on the other hand, support for
the implementation of socioeconomic programs, including in
particular the implementation of access-to-energy programs.

-

4.3.4.1. Committing to local content

TOTAL is committed to: employing more local staff and
subcontracting more work to local businesses wherever the
operating constraints of its activities allow, particularly through
training and support programs intended for small and medium-
sized enterprises (SME) and companies that shape the local
economy; helping to diversify the economies of the regions in
which it operates by supporting local initiatives; and contributing to
human development, mainly by focusing on education and
strengthening local development skills and capacities.

To this end, Exploration & Production is shifting from a local
content approach (focused mainly on direct and indirect local
employment) to an In-Country Value approach geared toward local
value creation. It has also developed a roadmap centered on four
main areas: publishing future industrial and manpower needs;
using a unique supplier database for each subsidiary; developing a

62

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

large-scale program for training technicians; and comprehensively
studying local value creation. TOTAL participated in the
development of the IPIECA “Local content strategy guide” and
helped update this document in 2015.

In Papua New Guinea, where TOTAL opened a subsidiary in 2014,
the Elk-Antelope project team is working on a local value creation
strategy aimed at integrating local businesses and professionals
from the facilities construction phase. To this end, TOTAL
conducted a national industrial survey in 2015 that enabled it to
identify avenues for developing the country’s industrial fabric and
the skills of its workforce.

Training and education are the key pillars of the In-Country Value
approach. For instance, in Marketing & Services in Africa and the
Middle East, the “Young Dealers” program aims to help young
service station employees gain promotion to management
positions. Approximately 20% of the service stations in
Africa – Middle East are managed by young dealers. Another
program launched in 2014, the “Young Graduate” program, is
intended for young graduates from Africa or the Middle East with
five years of higher education and less than one year of
professional experience. This career trajectory strengthens their
skills and makes it easier to recruit young people with high
potential. Currently, 140 “Young Graduates” are working in retail,
operations or finance. More than 40 of them have taken up a
position outside their country of origin.

-

4.3.4.2. Boosting regional development and
supporting industrial restructuring

TOTAL has set up a program to pre-qualify and certify French
SMEs, in line with Group standards, in order to work with more
local suppliers. In addition to the jobs generated by its activities,
the Group, as a responsible company, supports SMEs, mainly in
France, through its Total Développement Régional (TDR) entity.
The Group relies on TDR for the local implementation of
agreements signed with the French government and local public
players in connection with its industrial conversion projects. These
included, for example, the conversion of the ICD platform in
Dunkirk and the future Carling Saint-Avold and La Mède platform
projects.

This support is a major element in TOTAL’s commitment to its
industrial and economic responsibilities and takes a number of
different forms within TDR. These include financial assistance for
the setting up, development or takeover of SMEs in the form of
loans, industrial conversion assistance alongside local
development bodies, assistance in the development of export
activities and international trade, and help for innovative SMEs.
These programs help create long-term jobs. Over the past three
years (2013-2015), TDR has issued a total of €21.2 million in loans
to 419 SME projects, thereby supporting nearly 8,000 jobs.

To maintain industrial activities and jobs once refining operations at
the Flanders facility end, two industrial projects are underway:
construction of a dietary phosphate production plant by 2017
(Ecophos), and construction of a pilot biodiesel and biofuel
production plant in which the Group has a stake (BioTfueL). The
activities maintained at the Flanders facility currently provide
260 positions and 130 subcontracting jobs.

In Carling, the steam cracker was permanently shut down in
October 2015. To adapt the platform and ensure its future by
restoring its competitiveness, TOTAL expects to invest
€180 million by the end of 2016 to develop new activities in the
growing hydrocarbon resins (Cray Valley) and polymers markets.
TOTAL has made a commitment to implement this industrial
conversion without any lay-offs and to fulfill all of its contractual
obligations with its clients and partner companies, particularly

Item 4 - E. Other Matters - 4. Social, environmental and societal information

through a support fund. In addition, TOTAL commits to improving
the industrial platform’s attractiveness by developing a shared
services offer, with the aim to help new economic stakeholders
establish in the area. 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 sustainable
industrial presence in the Lorraine region. A framework agreement
signed in early 2015 between the Chairman of the Lorraine region
and TOTAL aims to leverage the Group’s expertise and financial
means to develop the area’s industrial fabric.

In 2015, TOTAL announced its plan to adapt its operations in La
Mède by stopping refining activities and investing in converting the
platform to renewable energies and high value-added products.
This project will be completed without any lay-offs. TDR will be
involved to help minimize the impact on subcontractors.

-

4.3.4.3. Acting as a partner for human, social and
economic development

TOTAL’s contribution to the socioeconomic and human
development of the countries in which the Group operates is
reflected in its involvement in local development programs.

In 2015, €384 million ($426 million) was spent on societal projects,
compared to €459 million in 2014 and €357 million in 2013.
Certain expenses are managed directly by host countries in
application of contractual provisions, for example in Nigeria (Niger
Delta Development Committee) or the Republic of the Congo
(Provisions d’investissements diversifiés). In 2015, 3,063 societal
actions were reported. These programs support local populations
and fall into three main categories: local economic development,
human and social development, and citizenship. Approximately
85% of expenditure for societal projects goes to countries outside
the OECD.

Two cross-functional priorities underlie these projects: partnerships
and skills development. Built on constructive dialogue and the
determination to forge long-term relationships of trust with
stakeholders, partnerships with local institutions and organizations
guarantee the long-term success of projects. In all its actions,
TOTAL ensures that it does not take the place of local authorities
and teams up with NGOs that have solid field experience. In the
same vein, TOTAL promotes actions that help strengthen the
ability of individuals and local bodies to organize their own
development independently in order to ensure sustainability.

The Group’s expertise is based on the continued
professionalization of its societal teams through structuring
projects, setting goals and monitoring performance indicators. At
the Group’s head office, an individual is dedicated to relations with
NGOs. In Exploration & Production, more than 400 people are
involved in societal matters, with over 360 involved on a full-time
basis. In 2015, some 100 employees involved in societal projects
from many of the Group’s entities attended a Group Societal
Seminar to share experiences, followed by a training session on
human rights presented by the Danish Institute of Human Rights.
Several in-house training modules have been created for all Group
employees, including an e-learning launched in 2015 on the
Group’s societal commitment.

-

4.3.4.4. Supporting education

Education is key to creating shared value by helping host countries
develop the skills of their young people and training the future
employees that industry will need. TOTAL’s contributions to
education are framed within existing local systems, adapted to
local realities and always undertaken in the form of partnerships. In
addition to support for primary and secondary education where
needs have been identified, the Group’s educational initiatives are

built around four core international programs: scholarships,
partnerships with universities, teaching and research chairs, and
professional training.

TOTAL promotes the internationalization of its management, the
recruitment of local personnel and their access to positions of
responsibility, particularly within their original subsidiaries. To
achieve this, the Group offers local, regional and international
scholarships prior to recruitment. Each year, these scholarships
enable several thousand young people to pursue their studies
throughout the world and, since 2004, over 1,000 students from
the Group’s host countries have been able to prepare for
qualifications (doctorates, MBAs, Master’s degrees, engineering
schools, bachelor’s degrees and university institutes of technology)
at the best institutions, mainly in France or other European
countries.

To help the companies recruit qualified local staff, TOTAL helps to
strengthen the African continent’s universities by making the
Group’s technical and scientific expertise available to them.
Twenty-nine framework agreements have been signed with leading
institutes of higher education, such as the 2IE Institute in Burkina
Faso and the universities of Cape Town and Witwatersrand in
South Africa. The university partnership program launched in Africa
in 2010 has been extended to all of Europe, Asia and the Middle
East and now includes 80 establishments that maintain a regular
dialogue with TOTAL. In addition, professional training programs
adapted to the needs of each country are organized in cooperation
with local actors and allow trainees to obtain diplomas and
recognized professional qualifications. Thus, the Group’s entities
have introduced a large number of training schemes adapted to
meet the specific local context, particularly in Africa.

TOTAL supports teaching and research chairs, and in particular
research and innovation at 32 institutions, to address the needs of
the business world.

These programs are complemented by “TOTAL associate
teachers” (TOTAL professeurs associés). This original initiative is a
non-profit association run by current or retired employees of the
Group who teach courses free of charge in schools and
universities. Over 250 teachers give courses and lectures in
oil-related fields. Since 2001, more than 160,000 students
throughout the world have benefited from this expertise.

Finally, to help provide access to education to as many people as
possible, TOTAL broke new ground in 2015 by contributing to the
creation of a free massive open online course (MOOC) on the oil
chain entitled “Oil & Gas: from Exploration to Distribution”, a
four-week online course taken by more than 21,800 learners
worldwide, half of whom were from the African continent.

-

4.3.4.5. Giving the most disadvantaged populations
greater access to energy

For more than 10 years, several Group subsidiaries have been
engaged in various one-off access-to-energy projects, usually in
cooperation with neighboring communities and local authorities in
host countries, without always aiming to economic viability and
sustainability objective. To improve its societal performance and
structure its approach, TOTAL aims to develop models that are
both profitable and sustainable. For this reason, in 2010 the Group
launched the “Total Access to Energy” program, a source of
initiatives for identifying and testing solutions that facilitate access
to energy for the poorest populations.

Awango by Total, a new business model

The first large-scale achievement to come out of this program,
Awango by Total is a business response to a societal problem.
This innovative, sustainable and reproducible business model

2015 Form 20-F TOTAL S.A.

63

Item 4 - E. Other Matters - 4. Social, environmental and societal information

offers a range of solar solutions for lighting and recharging small
electrical appliances such as mobile phones.

Launched in 2011 in four pilot countries, this offer was sold in over
30 countries in 2015, including 6 where it is currently being
launched. At the end of 2015, 1.3 million lamps have been sold,
improving the day-to-day lives of six million people and exceeding
the target set in 2012 at the Rio+20 conference. The distribution
networks used are both TOTAL’s traditional networks (service
stations) and “last mile” networks built with local partners to bring
these solutions to isolated areas. Reseller networks are then set up
and programs developed with the support of external partners to
recruit and train “Young Solar Resellers”.

This model is based on innovative partnerships with various
stakeholders: development experts, NGOs, manufacturers,
institutional bodies and associations, microfinancing institutes, etc.
In 2014, TOTAL and the IFC entered into a 3-year partnership to
support the Lighting Global program. On the ground in Uganda,
Awango by Total lamps have been sold since 2013 in the Lake
Albert region through partnerships with local villager associations
and the Caritas Arua NGO.

In Haiti, a partnership with Entrepreneurs du Monde led to the
development of a social business (Palmis Eneji) through the use of
microfinance mechanisms. A pilot project is also underway in the
Philippines with Entrepreneurs du Monde to measure the societal
impact of solar solutions on populations that use them (e.g.,
health, education, savings, revenue generated).

The Group’s goal is to further develop this program with a target of
five million lamps sold in Africa by 2020, benefiting 25 million
people on a continent that is at the core of TOTAL’s global
strategy.

In 2015, Babyloan, a European leader in crowdfunding, and
TOTAL teamed up to develop the first crowdfunding platform
dedicated to access to energy. This partnership aims to accelerate
access to energy and related financing solutions, particularly in
Africa, Asia and Latin America, where the need is greatest. This
brings together Babyloan and TOTAL’s complementary expertise:
in crowdfunding and microfinance for Babyloan, and in access to
energy for TOTAL. This collaboration aims to support the creation
of local microbusinesses that will develop distribution networks
towards isolated communities and better face of last mile
distribution challenges.

Fighting fuel poverty and developing more inclusive mobility

The aim of the “fuel poverty and inclusive mobility” project in
France is to reduce heating costs (via thermal renovation) and
enhance mobility for low-income households.

To respond to the issue of fuel poverty, the Group is working
alongside the French government and other energy producers in
the “Living Better” program, which has allowed 150,000
low-income households(1) to benefit from thermal renovation since
its creation in 2011. In addition, the 90 energy efficiency
ambassadors at PACT and FACE (agreement signed in 2014 with
the French Ministry for the City, Youth and Sport) have helped to
identify and support households affected by energy poverty in
30 departments in France (assistance with building renovation
formalities, financing solutions, training in eco-friendly behaviors).

The Wimoov association provided mobility advice and solutions to
7,500 people(1) in 2015, 50% of whom found jobs or new

employment. As a result of TOTAL’s support, new mobility
platforms were opened and developed. In 2015, the Inclusive
Mobility Laboratory created by TOTAL and Wimoov welcomed five
new members – the Red Cross, FARE (French federation of road
associations for education), Michelin, Keolis and Transdev – and
worked on the global recognition of mobility advisors and
innovative services available to vulnerable groups, including local
support via community services and tailored digital solutions that
bring together transport operators and players in the social
economy. The call for projects issued in partnership with the
French Ministry for the City, Youth and Sport (Experimental Youth
Development Fund) has made it possible to fund and support, via
the Agence Nationale des Solidarités Actives (national agency for
active inclusion), 16 innovative youth initiatives throughout France
until the end of 2016.

Finally, TOTAL launched a social business model involving service
stations with reduced investment and operating costs for
municipalities (two openings in 2015) to facilitate access to fuel in
rural areas in France.

4.3.5. Partnerships and philanthropy

In addition to the societal initiatives that are directly related to the
Group’s industrial activities, TOTAL has also been committed for
over 20 years to taking general-interest measures in the countries
where it has operations. These actions are essentially conducted
by the Total Corporate Foundation and the Philanthropy
Department of TOTAL S.A.

-

4.3.5.1. Total Corporate Foundation

For the period of 2013-2017, the Group has renewed its
commitment to its Corporate Foundation, which has a 5-year
budget of €50 million. The Foundation is active in four fields:
health, solidarity, oceans and marine biodiversity, culture and
heritage.

In the health field, the Group has been a partner of the Pasteur
Institute since 2005. The aim of this partnership, renewed for 2015
to 2017, is to support projects to combat childhood diseases as
well as research programs and field actions in partnership with the
Group’s subsidiaries, mainly in Africa and South-East Asia.

In the field of solidarity, the Foundation encourages Group
employees to engage with the community through support for
projects championed by non-profit organizations with which they
volunteer on a personal basis. In 2015, the Foundation supported
42 employee projects in 33 countries.

With regard to marine biodiversity, the Foundation funds research
programs undertaken to improve knowledge about marine species
and ecosystems and challenges related to their protection and
enhancement. For the 51 projects supported in 2015, the
Foundation ensures the sharing of knowledge through awareness
and education campaigns. In particular, it backed the Lengguru
scientific expedition in West Papua. Led by the Institute of
Research for Development, the Indonesian Institute of Sciences
and the Sorong Fisheries Academy, this project mobilized more
than 70 European and Indonesian researchers.

In the culture and heritage field, the Total Foundation partly funded
12 exhibitions in 2015 that helped to showcase the cultures of the
countries in which the Group operates. In 2015, the Total
Foundation and the Fondation du Patrimoine (heritage foundation)
renewed their partnership for the fourth time for the 2015-2017

period. The partnership primarily focuses its activities on the
rehabilitation of the country’s industrial, craft, port and maritime
heritage converted for sociocultural purposes and on work sites
designed to further professional training and social integration.
Since 2006, more than 155 projects, including 29 worksites for
employment integration, spread across France, have received
nearly €21 million in funding from this partnership.

-

4.3.5.2. TOTAL S.A. philanthropy

In the field of solidarity, the Philanthropy Department has forged a
number of major institutional partnerships in France. Since 2009, it
has worked with the French government and the ministry
responsible for youth to promote the social, professional and civic
integration of young people through programs that have already
benefited over 200,000 people. This partnership, with an overall
budget of €60 million and the experimental youth development
fund as its primary technical and financial tool, has enabled the
financing of more than 260 projects since its creation. In 2014, the
program was renamed “La France s’engage”.

In the field of marine biodiversity, the Group has been a partner of
the French Society of Sea Rescuers (SNSM) since 2008. Through
its funding and expertise, it plays a role in improving the safety of
rescue operations and training volunteers. Thanks to its support,
the Sea Rescuers have a center equipped with a state-of-the-art
navigation and vessel handling simulator. Each year, more than
300 rescuers have access to this training.

In the field of culture, convinced that access to culture from a very
young age is key to self-confidence and respect for others, the
Group supports numerous initiatives designed to instruct young
people in the worlds of art and culture. In total, nearly 75,000
children from metropolitan France and the Overseas Departments
have benefited from these projects.

4.3.6. Contractors and suppliers

TOTAL’s activities generate hundreds of thousands of direct and
indirect jobs worldwide. The Group’s purchases alone represented
approximately $40 billion worldwide in 2015. The average
breakdown, at the Group level, of expenditure for purchases of
goods (products, materials, etc.) is approximately 25% and of
services (including consulting services, work with supply of
materials, transport, etc.) is approximately 75%, excluding crude
oil materials. The number of hours worked by subcontractors is
monitored for large projects. This involves a range of
environmental, social and societal impact concerns addressed by
TOTAL when dealing with its suppliers via its principles, purchasing
commitments and sustainable procurement initiatives.

TOTAL’s societal commitment is shared by the Group’s
employees, partners, customers and suppliers, in particular by
employing more local staff and subcontracting more work to local
businesses wherever the operating constraints of its activities
allow. The Group’s societal directive stipulates that purchasing
processes must be adapted as required in cases where a societal
action plan has been implemented.

TOTAL has created a map of the CSR risks and opportunities in
the Group’s main purchasing categories to identify key issues in
three areas: ethics and human rights, environmental impact and
the creation of value with local communities. Pilot projects were
implemented in certain purchasing categories to integrate the
monitoring of CSR aspects into the purchasing process through
concrete measures (e.g., specific questionnaire focusing on the
Fundamental Principles of Purchasing, drafting of suitable contract
clauses, good practices guide for purchases from the disabled and
sheltered employment sectors). For example, for a multi-country
“car wash” call for tenders, typical of Marketing & Services’

activities, the map encouraged the buyer/internal client team to
take a “total cost of ownership” approach (calculated by adding to
the initial purchase price costs incurred by the client when using
and disposing of the product: power and water consumption, end-
of-life processing costs, etc.) and incorporate environmental
criteria into the specifications and then into the contract. The map
was updated in 2015 to reflect the Group’s main purchasing
categories and presented to the buyers, the Group Purchasing
Committee and the Ethics Department.

4.3.6.1. Monitoring responsible practices among
suppliers

In its Code of Conduct, TOTAL states that it works with its
suppliers to ensure the protection of the interests of both parties
on the basis of clear and fairly negotiated contractual conditions.
This relationship is founded on three key principles: dialogue,
professionalism and adherence to commitments.

TOTAL expects its suppliers to:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

adhere to principles equivalent to those in its own Code of
Conduct, such as those set out in the Fundamental Principles
of Purchasing directive; and
agree to be audited, be particularly attentive to the human
rights-related aspects of their standards and procedures, in
particular their employees’ working conditions, and ensure
that their own suppliers and contractors respect equivalent
principles.

The Fundamental Principles of Purchasing, launched in 2010 and
formally set out in a Group directive in 2014, specify the
commitments that TOTAL expects of its suppliers in the following
areas: respect for human rights at work, health protection,
assurance of 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. TOTAL’s suppliers must be made aware of the rules
it contains, which apply to all the Group’s companies, by including
them, suitably transposed if necessary, into the agreements
concluded with these suppliers. These principles are available for
consultation by all suppliers in both French and English on
TOTAL’s website (under “Suppliers”).

Questionnaires focused on environmental and societal issues are
used to gather more in-depth information from suppliers about
their approach to these subjects, either during pre-qualification or
as part of an audit. Supplier relations are also considered from an
environmental and societal perspective on occasion as part of
ethical assessments of Group subsidiaries and entities undertaken
by GoodCorporation (refer to “ — 4.3.7.2. “Respect for human
rights”, below) in all continents in which the Group is present.

In 2015, TOTAL signed an agreement with the worldwide trade
union federation, IndustriALL Global Union, which marks a major
step in TOTAL’s commitment as a responsible employer (refer to
“Item 6 — B.1. Employees’ compensation”, below). In addition,
TOTAL is committed to disclosing and promoting the principles of
this agreement to its service providers and suppliers.

Despite a difficult economic environment, certain one-off initiatives
were launched. In October 2015, a suppliers day at Exploration &
Production, which brought together 300 people, including
200 representatives of approximately 100 suppliers, was focused
around two main themes: HSE and economic performance. Also
in October 2015, a suppliers day at Refining & Chemicals, which
brought together over 250 representatives from its main European
suppliers, was held to present them with Refining & Chemicals’
strategy and safety, availability and cost-cutting goals.

2015 Form 20-F TOTAL S.A.

Item 4 - E. Other Matters - 4. Social, environmental and societal information

The deployment of the anti-corruption policy in purchasing
continued in 2015 with the dispatching of specific questionnaires
to select service providers and, in some cases, external controls.
An initiative was launched in 2014 in which service providers
working on Group sites were asked to take a training module
similar to the Group’s anti-corruption e-learning module. CDs of
this e-learning course were also distributed by several entities to
their suppliers.

In addition, 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 certain minerals (deemed “conflict minerals”(1)
by this Rule) sourced from the Democratic Republic of the Congo
or a neighboring country. The document indicates whether TOTAL
S.A. or one of its affiliates had, during the preceding calendar year,
used any such minerals that were necessary to the functionality or
production of a product manufactured or contracted to be
manufactured by the Group. In addition, the document states
whether such minerals were sourced from the Democratic
Republic of the Congo or a neighboring country. The main
objective of the rule’s obligation to publish this information is to
prevent the direct or indirect funding of armed groups in central
Africa. For more information, refer to TOTAL’s most recent
publication available at: http://csr-analysts.total.com/ or http://
www.sec.gov/.

4.3.6.2. Promoting sustainable procurement

An interdisciplinary working group dedicated to the issue of
sustainable procurement and representing the various business
segments as well as the Purchasing, Legal and Sustainable
Development Departments is tasked with strengthening TOTAL’s
policy in this area based on initiatives developed by each segment.

The Group’s buyers take part in international working groups on
sustainable procurement. TOTAL is an active member of IPIECA’s
Supply Chain Task Force. In 2015, TOTAL participated in the two
special workshops on Operationalization of the UN Guiding
Principles organized by the IPIECA, aimed at both oil and gas
companies and engineering, procurement, construction (EPC)
contractors. TOTAL is also represented in the French delegation to
the international group that is considering the forthcoming ISO
20400 standard on sustainable procurement. The aim of this
standard is to transpose the concept of social responsibility – as
defined in ISO 26000 – to purchasing activities. Forty-one
countries from every continent, as well as international
organizations such as the OECD, the UN and the International
Labour Organization, are involved in drafting this standard.

Sustainable procurement targets are integrated into the central
buyers’ annual appraisals. Twelve sustainable procurement training

sessions have been held in France since 2013, with a total of
130 Group employees receiving training. Half of buyers responsible
for a category at the head offices of the various business segments
took part in this training and have been able to apply the
corresponding good practices to their categories. To accompany
these training events, practical tools (country factsheets including
local laws and regulations, internal feedback and methodology
sheets) were developed and used both before and after the
learning phases.

As part of the new Corporate Purchasing training program, an
induction e-learning course entitled “Purchasing at TOTAL” has
been made available to all buyers and is mandatory for all new
buyers. This module covers, in particular, the Group’s ethical
commitments and the Fundamental Principles of Purchasing.

In France, the Group’s purchases from the disabled and protected
employment sectors enabled the achievement of an indirect
employment rate of nearly 1% in 2015. 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 from the disabled or protected employment
sectors by geographical area and by category. A new training
course on purchasing from the disabled and protected
employment sectors was launched in 2015 and attended by nearly
100 people, including the Group’s Chief Purchasing Officer.
Courses in the regions of France where TOTAL operates (Pau,
Lyon, Nantes and Le Havre) were held throughout the year. These
sessions form part of TOTAL’s sustainable procurement approach
and further reflect its focus on regional development. In addition, in
Belgium, Refining & Chemicals uses the services of companies
that give priority to the employment of disabled individuals.

-

4.3.6.3. Acting as a responsible partner in relation with
suppliers

TOTAL received the “Responsible supplier relationships” label in
2014 for its Holding and Marketing & Services activities in France.
This label, awarded by the French authorities, recognizes
companies that maintain sustainable and balanced relationships
with their suppliers. Eligibility for this label is reviewed every year
and was confirmed in 2015.

The general terms and conditions of purchase were updated in
2014 to ensure a sharper focus on balanced contractual relations.
This balance is monitored in particular by an interdisciplinary
working group dedicated to the issue of payment terms, set up in
2014. It involves the Purchasing and Finance departments at the
French head offices of all the Group’s business segments and has
the aim of monitoring payment terms, reporting and improving the
processing of invoices.

The breakdown of TOTAL S.A.’s accounts payable as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, in application of the provisions of
Article D. 144-4 of the French Commercial Code, is as follows:

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

Item 4 - E. Other Matters - 4. Social, environmental and societal information

Regarding the support given to French SMEs, TOTAL is a member
of the “Pacte PME” association and was positively rated by its
Monitoring Committee in 2015. One example is the support the
Group gives to the international development of SMEs, including a
number of its own suppliers, through TDR. More than 150 SMEs
were thus able to take advantage of a range of programs in 2015:
temporary reception of a Volunteer for International Experience
(VIE) to represent them in one of the Group’s subsidiaries, access
to a network of contacts consisting of Group employees at
overseas subsidiaries, and the organization of joint operations in
countries in which the Group is present in order to gain a better
understanding of the local economic context (refer to “— 4.3.4.2.
“Boosting regional development and supporting industrial
restructuring”, above). Finally, the identification of innovative SME
suppliers takes place through the appointment of innovation
correspondents within each Purchasing department of TOTAL’s
business segments.

Together with GEP-AFTP, TOTAL was involved in the creation of
OG2P (Oil and Gas Partnering Platform). This is an online
In-Country Value partnering platform launched in October 2015. It
allows SMEs in France and other European countries to build
relationships with SMEs in producing countries.

To contribute toward the development of good practices in
business relations, TOTAL launched an initiative to raise its
employees’ awareness of mediation as an alternative method for
resolving disputes with suppliers. Each year since 2013, a training
day to raise awareness of mediation has been organized, and in
2015 two events were held. Each session brings together
employees of the Group, lawyers and suppliers. This day enables
employees to gain an understanding of mediation and its
advantages, in particular in cementing long-term business
relations, and includes practical exercises. A brochure designed to
increase awareness of the mediation process is also made
available to all employees. In addition, an e-mail address is
available on the Group website (under “Suppliers”). It can be used
to contact the Group’s internal mediator, whose task is to facilitate
relations between the Group and its French and international
suppliers. Finally, the general purchase terms and conditions also
mention the possibility of recourse to mediation.

4.3.7.

Fair operating practices

-

4.3.7.1. Preventing corruption

The oil industry must be particularly vigilant concerning the risk of
corruption, especially given the scale of investments and the
number of countries in which operations are conducted.
Preventing corruption is therefore a major challenge for the Group
and all its employees.

TOTAL’s stance on the issue of corruption is based on clear
principles set out in its Code of Conduct: “The Group adopts a
‘zero tolerance’ approach to corruption and adheres to the
strictest integrity standards”. This Code sets out the principles
governing the actions and individual behavior of each person, both
in their day-to-day decisions and in their relations with the
company’s stakeholders. In it, TOTAL also reiterates its support for
the OECD Guidelines and the Tenth Principle of the United Nations
Global Compact, which urges businesses to work against
corruption in all its forms.

The Group’s commitment has led to a number of actions,
including:

(cid:129)

the adoption by the Executive Committee in 2009 of a
corruption prevention policy and the implementation of a
dedicated compliance program; and

(cid:129)

the establishment of a specific organization including, in
particular, a Compliance and Social Responsibility
Department, which is responsible for rolling out a robust
anti-corruption compliance program via a network of 370
Compliance Officers wherever TOTAL operates.

The corruption prevention program is based on the very highest
standards including, in particular:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

a framework of internal rules that allow employees, with the
support of their Compliance Officer, to identify risk situations,
conduct due diligence and implement appropriate actions,
particularly in the cases of: representatives dealing with public
officials, purchasing/sales, gifts/invitations, donations/
philanthropy, acquisitions, joint ventures, conflicts of interest
and human resources;
activities designed to raise awareness among all employees:
an initial e-learning course was rolled out in 2011 in
12 languages, followed by a more in-depth e-learning module
in December 2015. This module is accessible to all
employees and mandatory for the target groups
(approximately 30,000 employees);

(cid:129)

(cid:129)
(cid:129)

(cid:129) more targeted training activities intended for the most highly
exposed positions (particularly for implementation of new
rules) and in-depth training for all Compliance Officers;
the prohibition of “facilitation payments”;
regular reporting and incident feedback mechanisms,
including an ethics alert system;
audits dedicated to compliance (six to eight per year) covering
all the Group’s activities. These audits are followed up the
next year to verify that the recommendations have been
implemented. In addition, missions carried out by the Group
Audit Department include, depending on their purpose,
controls to ensure compliance processes are being followed;
and
the application of suitable sanctions.

(cid:129)

In 2015, significant internal communications took place to
emphasize once again the importance the Group attaches to these
issues. For the UN’s International Anti-Corruption Day and
International Human Rights Day (both observed annually in
December), TOTAL held its first Business Ethics Day, which
focused on these two themes. This event was organized at Group
level and relayed locally by the subsidiaries to remind employees
how to react appropriately and to encourage dialogue.

Under the settlements reached in 2013 between TOTAL, the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Department of
Justice, an independent monitor was appointed for three years to
conduct a review of anti-corruption compliance and related internal
control procedures implemented by the Group and to recommend
improvements, when necessary. The monitor assumed his position
at the end of 2013 (refer “Item 15 — 4.3. Risk assessment and
management”, below) and issued an initial report to the authorities
in July 2014. As the monitor had to relinquish his duties for health
reasons, a new monitor was appointed in early 2015 to continue
the review. A second report was issued in October 2015, in which
the monitor completed his recommendations and indicated that
“TOTAL has considerably improved its anti-corruption program by
implementing the recommendations outlined in the first report”.

-

4.3.7.2. Respect for human rights

Activities of companies can affect the human rights of employees,
partners and local communities in numerous ways. TOTAL’s
proactive approach to human rights reflects its ethical commitment
and helps to establish and maintain successful relationships with
all stakeholders, which is essential for the Group to operate
effectively.

2015 Form 20-F TOTAL S.A.

67

Item 4 - E. Other Matters - 4. Social, environmental and societal information

TOTAL’s approach to respect for human rights is based on several
pillars, described below.

Written commitments

The Group’s Code of Conduct was revised in 2014 to reinforce
TOTAL’s commitments in terms of respect for human rights. It sets
out the Group’s adherence to international standards such as the
UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the
Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights (VPSHR). In
the event of any discrepancy between legal provisions and the
Code of Conduct, the highest standard of protection of human
rights is applied.

Human rights are now one of the priority business principles,
alongside integrity (preventing corruption and fraud and anti-
competitive practices) and HSE standards (health, safety/security
and environment). The Group ensures that employees’ rights are
protected and prohibits any form of discrimination against them,
including due to sexual orientation or identity. It demands that they
themselves respect human rights. TOTAL also expects its
suppliers to respect standards equivalent to its own and pay
particular attention to their employees’ working conditions. In
addition, while respecting the sovereignty of the host countries in
which it operates, the Group reserves the right to express its
conviction on the importance of respecting human rights in
matters concerning it. Finally, TOTAL respects the rights of local
communities by identifying, preventing and limiting the impacts of
its activities on their way of life and remediating them.

Some of these principles are set out in the “To find out more”
section of the Code of Conduct and are detailed in TOTAL’s
Human Rights Guide, as updated in December 2015 (available in
English, French, Spanish and Chinese at total.com).

In 2013, the Group developed a strategic human rights roadmap
to better integrate respect for human rights into its various risk and
impact management systems. This roadmap, approved by the
Executive Committee, is implemented by various Group entities (in
particular the Legal, Ethics, Sustainable Development, Purchasing
and Safety Departments). For example, a practical guide was
published in 2015 to help the Group’s teams responsible for
business acquisitions and disposals better incorporate human
rights into the various due diligence processes that apply.

A dedicated organization

The Ethics Committee and the “Ethics and Human Rights” unit
within the Compliance and Social Responsibility Department
advise employees, help operatives and monitor efforts to promote
respect for human rights. In particular, they run a human rights
committee that coordinates the actions taken internally and
externally by the various Group entities. The Ethics Committee is a
central, independent structure that represents all of TOTAL’s
business segments. Its role is to listen and support. Both
employees and people outside the Group can refer matters to it by
email at ethics@total.com. The Committee maintains confidentiality
with regard to referrals, which can only be lifted with the
agreement of the person in question. At the local level,
mechanisms for handling grievances raised by local communities
are also implemented by subsidiaries exposed to societal risks.

Awareness and training

To ensure its adopted principles are disseminated in-house, TOTAL
raises employee awareness via corporate communications channels
such as the Ethics and Security intranet site and through events such
as the Business Ethics Day (refer to “— 4.3.7.1. Preventing
corruption”, above) at which a new version of the Group’s Human
Rights Guide was released. The Group has also produced several
videos on three human rights topics that are key for TOTAL:

68

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

responsible security, prevention of societal impacts on local
communities, and working conditions, both for its own employees
and within its supply chain. The Group also offers some employees
special training tailored to the challenges faced in the field, such as
the Responsible Leadership for a Sustainable Business program.
Finally, actions are taken to raise awareness among the Group’s
external stakeholders, such as training related to the VPSHR for its
security providers.

Assessments and reporting

Tools are used to regularly assess the subsidiaries’ human rights
practices and the risks they may have to face. Their objective is to
analyze the societal impacts of a project at the local level or to
verify that the subsidiaries’ practices are in line with the Group’s
ethical standards. TOTAL commissions approximately 10 ethical
assessments per year, with more than 120 subsidiaries evaluated
since 2002. These assessments are undertaken by
GoodCorporation (GoodCorp), a qualified ethics expert. Certain
assessments are also conducted in partnership with the Danish
Institute for Human Rights, a Danish public non-profit organization.
A reference catalog containing approximately 90 questions relating
to human rights, labor law and rules on competition, is used on
site, and numerous internal and external stakeholders are
interviewed by GoodCorp over the course of several weeks.
GoodCorp then issues a final report identifying points requiring
improvement and good practices. The entity is then given several
months to correct any issues that have been identified. A follow-up
report is issued by GoodCorp for the subsidiaries that were
assessed. Other non-profit partner organizations, such as the CDA
Corporate Engagement Project, also contribute by evaluating the
societal impact of the Group’s activities on nearby local
communities, for example by surveying the populations in
question. CDA’s reports are published online on their website.

At end-2013, the Group also commissioned the British NGO
International Alert to conduct an impact study focusing on human
rights in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Even though the
Group had not yet conducted any operations nor had any
subsidiaries in the area in question at that time, more than 300
people – a quarter of whom were women – were consulted by the
NGO. The aim of this study was to enable the Group to better
understand the country’s complex dynamics in order to limit any
negative impact and maximize any positive impact the Group’s
exploration activities may have on this sensitive environment. The
NGO’s report is available online. Action based on the NGO’s
recommendations were carried out by Total E&P RDC before the
start-up of the seismic campaign.

Participation in external initiatives

TOTAL is actively involved in numerous initiatives and working
groups on human rights that bring together various stakeholders,
including Global Compact, Global Compact LEAD (initiative for
sustainable leadership), Global Business Initiative on Human
Rights, IPIECA and non-profit organizations such as Shift.

-

4.3.7.3. Consumer health and safety

Many of the products that TOTAL markets pose potential risks; for
example, if they are used incorrectly. The Group therefore aims to
meet its current and future obligations with regard to information
and prevention in order to minimize the risks throughout its
product’s life cycle. TOTAL’s health and products directive sets
outs the minimum requirements for marketing the Group’s
products worldwide in order to reduce potential risks to consumer
health and the environment.

TOTAL identifies and assesses the risks inherent to its products
and their use, and then informs customers and users of these risks

Item 4 - E. Other Matters - 4. Social, environmental and societal information

and the applicable prevention and protection measures. The
material safety data sheets (MSDS) that accompany all products
marketed by the Group (in at least one of the languages used in
the country) and product labels are two key sources of information
in this regard. All new products comply fully with the regulatory
requirements in the countries and markets for which they are
intended.

Reporting scopes and method

4.4.
4.4.1. Reporting guidance
The Group’s reporting is based:
(cid:129)

for social indicators, on a practical handbook titled “Corporate
Social Reporting Protocol and Method”;
for Industrial Safety indicators, on the Corporate Guidance on
Event and Statistical Reporting; and
for environmental indicators, on a Group reporting procedure,
together with segment-specific instructions.

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

These documents are available to all TOTAL companies. The
environmental and social reporting handbooks can be consulted at
Corporate headquarters, in the relevant departments.
4.4.2. Scopes
In 2015, environmental reporting covered all activities, sites and
industrial assets in which TOTAL S.A., or one of its companies it
controls, is the operator (i.e., either operates or contractually
manages the operations): 803 sites as of December 31, 2015.
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions “based on the Group’s equity
interest” are the only data which are published for the “equity
interest” scope. This scope, which is different from the “operated
domain” mentioned above, includes all the assets in which TOTAL
has a financial interest with rights over all or part of the production
(financial interest without operational responsibility nor rights on all
or part of the production do not lead to the incorporation of GHG
emissions).

Safety reporting covers all TOTAL employees, employees of
contractors working at Group-operated sites and employees of
transport companies under long-term contracts. Each site submits
its safety reporting to the relevant business unit. The data is then
consolidated at the business level and every month at the Group
level. In 2015, the Group safety reporting scope covered
508 million hours worked, equivalent to approximately 283,000
people.

Reporting on occupational illnesses covers only the Group’s
personnel and illnesses reported according to the regulations
applicable in the country of operation of each entity. Each site
sends its reporting on occupational illnesses to the operational
entity it reports to. Statistics are consolidated at business segment
level and reported to the Group once a year.

Social reporting is based on two resources – the Global Workforce
Analysis and the Worldwide Human Resources Survey.

The Global Workforce Analysis is conducted twice a year, on
June 30 and December 31, in all fully consolidated companies at
least 50% owned and consolidated by the global integration
method. The 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. This survey produces a breakdown of the
workforce by gender, professional category (managers and other
employees), age and nationality.

The Worldwide Human Resources Survey is an annual survey
which comprises approximately 100 indicators in addition to those
used in the Global Workforce Analysis. The indicators are selected
in cooperation with the business segments and cover major
components of the Group Human Resources policy, such as
mobility, career management, training, work conditions, employee

dialogue, Code of Conduct application, human rights, health,
compensation, retirement benefits and insurance. The survey
covers a representative sample of the consolidated scope. The
data published in this Registration Document are extracted from
the most recent survey, carried out in December 2015 and
January 2016; 134 companies in 54 countries, representing 91%
of the consolidated Group workforce (87,341 employees) replied to
the survey. With regard to training only, this scope covers 90.5%
of the Group’s consolidated workforce and 133 companies.

Both surveys are conducted using a new information system
implemented at TOTAL in 2015, which strengthens coherency
controls and develops the internal control process by adding levels
of validation.

4.4.2.2. Changes in scope

4.4.2.1. Consolidation method

-
For the scopes defined above, safety indicators and social data
are fully consolidated. Environmental indicators consolidate 100%
of the emissions of Group operated sites for the “operated”
indicators. GHG emissions are also published on an equity interest
basis, i.e., by consolidating the Group share of the emissions of all
assets in which the Group has a financial interest or rights to
production.
-
For social and environmental indicators, the indicators are
calculated on the basis of the perimeter of the Group as of
December 31, 2015. For safety indicators, acquisitions are taken
into account as soon as possible and at the latest on January 1 of
the following year, and divestments are taken into account at the
end of the quarter preceding their effective date of implementation.
Restatement of previous years published data, unless there is a
specific statement, is now limited to changes of methodology.
4.4.3. Principles
-
4.4.3.1.
The data published in the Registration Document are intended to
inform stakeholders about TOTAL’s Corporate Social
Responsibility performance for the year in question. The
environmental indicators include Group performance indicators in
line with the IPIECA reporting guidance, updated in 2015. The
indicators have been selected in order to monitor:
(cid:129)

Indicator selection and relevance

TOTAL’s commitments and policies, and their effects in the
safety, environment, social, etc., domains;
performance relative to TOTAL’s main challenges and
impacts; and
information required by legislative and regulatory obligations
(Article L. 225-102-1 of the French Commercial Law).

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

4.4.3.2.

-
Terminology used in social reporting
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 Group’s social
reporting.
Managed scope: all subsidiaries in which one or more Group
companies own a stake of 50% or more, i.e., 453 companies in
123 countries as of December 31, 2015.
Consolidated scope: all companies fully consolidated by the
global integration method, i.e., 314 companies having employees
in 102 countries as of December 31, 2015.
Employees present: employees present are employees on the
payroll of the consolidated scope, less employees who are not

(including non-waterproof ground). Spills resulting from sabotage
or malicious acts are included. Spills which remain in a confined
watertight containment system are excluded.
Waste: the contaminated soil excavated and removed from active
sites to be treated externally is counted as waste. However, drilling
debris, mining cuttings or soil polluted in inactive sites are not
counted as waste.
GHG: the six 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 GIEC report.
GHG based on the Group’s equity interest: GHG emissions of
non-significant assets are excluded, i.e., assets in which the
Group’s equity interest is less than 10% and for which the Group
share of emissions are less than 50 kt CO2 eq/year. TOTAL relies
on the information provided by its partners who operate its non-
operated assets. In cases where this information is not available,
estimates are made based on past data, budget data or by pro
rata with similar assets.
Material loss rate: this rate corresponds to the net sum of
materials extracted or consumed which are neither auto-
consumed energy nor sold to a client, divided by the sum of
transformed material. This rate is only significant for hydrocarbon
exploration, production and refinery activities.
Oil spill preparedness:
(cid:129)

an oil spill scenario is deemed “important” as soon as its
consequences are on a small scale and with limited impacts
on the environment (orders of magnitude of several hundred
meters of beaches 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.

Information concerning certain limited
activities in Iran and Syria

Provided in this section is certain information concerning TOTAL’s
activities related to Iran that took place in 2015 that is required to
be disclosed pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (“U.S. Exchange Act”). In addition,
information for 2015 is provided concerning the various types of
payments made by Group affiliates to the government of any
country identified by the United States as a state sponsor of
terrorism (currently, Iran, Syria and Sudan(1)) or any entity controlled
by those governments. TOTAL believes that these activities are not
sanctionable and has not been informed that it is at risk of possible
imposition of sanctions for activities previously disclosed. For more
information on certain U.S. and EU restrictions relevant to TOTAL
in these jurisdictions, see “Item 3 — C. Risk Factors”, above.

–

Iran

The Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012
(“ITRA”) added Section 13(r) to the U.S. Exchange Act, which
requires TOTAL to disclose whether it or any of its affiliates has
engaged during the calendar year in certain Iran-related activities,
including those targeted under ISA, without regard to whether
such activities are sanctionable under ISA, and any transaction or
dealing with the Government of Iran that is not conducted
pursuant to a specific authorization of the U.S. government. While
neither TOTAL S.A. nor any of its affiliates have engaged in any
activity that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to
subparagraphs (A), (B) or (C) of Section 13(r)(1), affiliates of the
Company may be deemed to have engaged in certain transactions
or dealings with the government of Iran that would require
disclosure pursuant to Section 13(r)(1)(D), as discussed below.

Upstream

The Group has no upstream activities in Iran and maintains a local
office in Iran solely for non-operational functions. Some payments
are yet to be reimbursed to the Group with respect to past
expenditures and remuneration under buyback contracts entered
into between 1997 and 1999 with the National Iranian Oil
Company (“NIOC”) for the development of the South Pars 2&3 and
Dorood fields. With respect to these contracts, development
operations were completed in 2010 and the Group is no longer
involved in the operation of these fields. In 2015, Total E&P Iran
(100%), Elf Petroleum Iran (99.8%), Total Sirri (100%) and Total
South Pars (99.8%) collectively made payments of approximately
IRR 4 billion (approximately $0.1 million(2)) to (i) the Iranian
administration for taxes and social security contributions
concerning the personnel of the aforementioned local office and
residual buyback contract-related obligations, and (ii) Iranian public
entities for payments with respect to the maintenance of the
aforementioned local office (e.g., utilities, telecommunications).
TOTAL expects similar or slightly higher payments to be made by
these affiliates in 2016. Neither revenues nor profits were
recognized from the aforementioned activities in 2015.

In the context of the then-anticipated suspension of part of the
sanctions targeting Iran following the adoption of the JCPOA on
July 14, 2015, there were contacts in 2015 between
representatives of certain wholly-owned affiliates of TOTAL S.A
and representatives of the Iranian Government and NIOC within
the framework of delegations organized by French authorities or

Item 4 - E. Other Matters - 5. Iran and Syria

during public international events. During the course of these
contacts, such affiliates received in 2015 verbal information of a
general nature concerning certain oil and gas fields and projects in
Iran and no information not permitted by applicable international
economic sanctions was provided to Iranian authorities for the
development of Iranian hydrocarbons. Neither TOTAL S.A. nor any
of its affiliates recognized any revenue or profit from this activity in
2015. Following the suspension of certain international economic
sanctions against Iran on January 16, 2016 (refer to “Item 3 –
C. Risk Factors”, above), TOTAL entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding (“MOU”) with NIOC and a framework agreement for
the purchase of crude oil for French and European refineries, in
particular. Pursuant to the MOU, NIOC will provide technical data
on certain oil and gas projects so that TOTAL can assess potential
developments in Iran in compliance with the remaining applicable
international economic sanctions.

Total E&P UK Limited (“TEP UK”), a wholly-owned affiliate of
TOTAL, holds a 43.25% interest in a joint venture at the Bruce field
in the UK with BP Exploration Operating Company Limited (37.5%,
operator), BHP Billiton Petroleum Great Britain Ltd (16%) and
Marubeni Oil & Gas (North Sea) Limited (3.75%). This joint venture
is party to an agreement (the “Bruce Rhum Agreement”) governing
certain transportation, processing and operation services provided
to a joint venture at the Rhum field in the UK that is co-owned by
BP (50%, operator) and the Iranian Oil Company UK Ltd (“IOC”), a
subsidiary of NIOC (50%) (together, the “Rhum Owners”). TEP UK
owns and operates the Frigg UK Association pipeline and St
Fergus Gas Terminal and is party to an agreement governing
provision of transportation and processing services to the Rhum
Owners (the “Rhum FUKA Agreement”) (the Bruce Rhum
Agreement and the Rhum FUKA Agreement being referred to
collectively as the “Rhum Agreements”). To TOTAL’s knowledge,
provision of all services under the Rhum Agreements was initially
suspended in November 2010, when the Rhum field stopped
production following the adoption of EU sanctions, other than
critical safety-related services (i.e., monitoring and marine
inspection of the Rhum facilities), which were permitted by EU
sanctions regulations. On October 22, 2013, the UK government
notified IOC of its decision to apply a temporary management
scheme to IOC’s interest in the Rhum field within the meaning of
UK Regulations 3 and 5 of the Hydrocarbons (Temporary
Management Scheme) Regulations 2013 (the “Hydrocarbons
Regulations”). Since that date all correspondence in respect of
IOC’s interest in the Rhum Agreements has been with the UK
government in its capacity as temporary manager of IOC’s
interests and TEP UK has had no contact with IOC in 2015
regarding the Rhum Agreements. On December 6, 2013, the UK
government authorized TEP UK, among others, under Article 43a
of EU Regulation 267/2012, as amended by 1263/2012 and under
Regulation 9 of the Hydrocarbons Regulations, to carry out
activities in relation to the operation and production of the Rhum
field. In addition, on September 4, 2013, the U.S. Treasury
Department issued a license to BP authorizing BP and certain
others to engage in various activities relating to the operation and
production of the Rhum field. Following receipt of all necessary
authorizations, the Rhum field resumed production on October 26,
2014 with IOC’s interest in the Rhum field and the Rhum
Agreements subject to the UK government’s temporary
management pursuant to the Hydrocarbons Regulations. Services
have been provided by TEP UK under the Rhum Agreements since

that date and TEP UK has received tariff income from BP and the
UK government (in its capacity as temporary manager of IOC’s
interest in the Rhum field) in accordance with the terms of the
Rhum Agreements. In 2015, these activities generated for TEP UK
gross revenue of approximately £4.6 million (approximately
$6.4 million) and net profit of approximately £1.4 million
(approximately $2.0 million). On August 27, 2015, TEP UK signed
a sale and purchase agreement to divest its entire interest in the
Frigg UK Association pipeline and St Fergus Gas Terminal to
NSMP Operations Limited (“NSMP”). Upon completion of the
divestment, TEP UK’s interest in the Rhum FUKA Agreement will
be novated to NSMP whereupon TEP UK’s only interest in the
Rhum FUKA Agreement will be in relation to the settlement of
historical force majeure claims with the Rhum Owners relating to
the period when the Rhum field was shut down. Subject to the
foregoing, TEP UK intends to continue such activities so long as
they continue to be permissible under UK and EU law and not be
in breach of remaining applicable international economic
sanctions.

Downstream

The Group does not own or operate any refineries or chemicals
plants in Iran and did not purchase Iranian hydrocarbons when
prohibited by applicable EU and U.S. economic and financial
sanctions (refer to “Item 3 — C. Risk Factors”, above).

Hutchinson, a wholly-owned affiliate of TOTAL, conducted, in
conjunction with a delegation of international companies
(Fédération des Industries des Equipements pour Véhicules), two
visits in Iran in 2015 to discuss business opportunities in the
Iranian car industry sector with several companies, including some
having direct or indirect ties to the government of Iran. Hutchinson
recognized no revenue or profit from this activity in 2015 and
expects to continue such discussions in the future.

Until December 2012, at which time it sold its entire interest, the
Group held a 50% interest in the lubricants retail company Beh
Total (now named Beh Tam) along with Behran Oil (50%), a
company controlled by entities with ties to the government of Iran.
As part of the sale of the Group’s interest in Beh Tam, TOTAL S.A.
agreed to license the trademark “Total” to Beh Tam for an initial
3-year period for the sale by Beh Tam of lubricants to domestic
consumers in Iran. In 2014, Total E&P Iran (“TEPI”), a wholly-
owned affiliate of TOTAL S.A., received, on behalf of TOTAL S.A.,
royalty payments of approximately IRR 24 billion (nearly
$1 million(1)) from Beh Tam for such license. These payments were
based on Beh Tam’s sales of lubricants during the previous
calendar year. In 2015, royalty payments were suspended due to
an adjustment procedure concerning these payments brought by
the Iranian tax authorities against TEPI, which TEPI expects will be
settled in 2016. Therefore, TEPI expects royalty payments may
resume in 2016. In addition, representatives of the Group and Beh
Tam met several times in 2015 to discuss the local lubricants
market and further discussions are expected to take place in the
future.

Total Liban, a Lebanese company wholly-owned by the Group, is
a member of a consortium with five other companies for the
purpose of providing services for fueling facilities at Beirut
International Airport (“BIA”) to the members of the consortium. The
consortium members assume, on a rotating three-year term,
ministerial and administrative responsibilities (including supervision

of fuel services) in connection with the consortium. Until October
2015, Total Liban served in this capacity. During this period,
another consortium member had a fuel supply contract with Iran
Air. Total Liban did not receive, directly or indirectly, any profit or
remuneration in connection with the fuel sold to Iran Air by this
other consortium member.

Total Marketing Middle East FZE (“TMME”), a wholly-owned
affiliate of the Group, sold lubricants to Beh Tam in 2015. The sale
in 2015 of approximately 299 t of lubricants and special fluids
generated gross revenue of approximately AED 2 million
(approximately $0.5 million) and net profit of approximately
AED 1.7 million (approximately $0.5 million). TMME expects to
continue this activity in 2016.

Total Marketing France (“TMF”), a French company wholly-owned
by Total Marketing Services (“TMS”), itself a French company
wholly-owned by TOTAL S.A. and six Group employees, provided
in 2015 fuel payment cards to the Iranian embassy in France for
use in the Group’s service stations. In 2015, these activities
generated gross revenue of approximately €25,000 (approximately
$27,200) and net profit of approximately €1,000 (approximately
$1,100). TMF expects to continue this activity in 2016.

Total Belgium (“TB”), a Belgian company wholly-owned by the
Group, provided in 2015 fuel payment cards to the Iranian
embassy in Brussels for use in the Group’s service stations. In
2015, these activities generated gross revenue of approximately
€23,100 (approximately $25,100) and net profit of approximately
€1,600 (approximately $1,700). TB expects to continue this activity
in 2016.

Proxifuel, a Belgian company wholly-owned by the Group, sold in
2015 heating oil to the Iranian embassy in Brussels. In 2015, these
activities generated gross revenue of approximately €2,400
(approximately $2,600) and net profit of approximately €200
(approximately $220). Proxifuel expects to continue this activity in
2016.

Caldeo, a French company wholly-owned by TMS, sold in 2015
domestic heating oil to the Iranian embassy in France, which
generated gross revenue of nearly €3,500 (approximately $3,800)
and net profit of approximately €700 (approximately $760). Caldeo
expects to continue this activity in 2016.

Total Namibia (PTY) Ltd (“TN”), a wholly-owned affiliate of Total
South Africa (PTY) Ltd (of which the Group holds 50.1%), sold
petroleum products and services during 2015 to Rössing Uranium
Limited, a company in which the Iranian Foreign Investment Co.
holds an interest of 15.3%. In 2015, these activities generated
gross revenue of approximately N$115 million (approximately
$7.3 million) and net profit of nearly N$5 million (approximately
$0.3 million). TN expects to continue this activity in 2016.

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 2015, TOTAL made
payments of approximately SYP 37 million (approximately
$0.2 million) to Syrian government agencies in the form of taxes
and contributions for public services rendered in relation to the
maintenance of the aforementioned office and its personnel. In late
2014, the Group initiated a downsizing of its Damascus office and
reduced its staff to a few employees.

ITEM 4A. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

Items 4A - 5

This section is the Company’s analysis of its financial performance
and of significant trends that may affect its future performance. It
should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report. The
Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance
with IFRS as issued by the IASB and IFRS as adopted by the EU.

This section contains forward-looking statements which are
subject to risks and uncertainties. For a list of important factors

OVERVIEW

TOTAL’s 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. Lower crude oil and natural gas prices
generally have a negative effect on the income of TOTAL, since its
Upstream oil and gas business is negatively impacted by the
resulting decrease in revenues realized from production. Higher
crude oil and natural gas prices generally have a corresponding
positive effect. The effect of changes in crude oil prices on
TOTAL’s Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services activities
depends upon the speed at which the prices of refined petroleum
products adjust to reflect such changes. TOTAL’s 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, TOTAL’s 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, see “Item 3 — C. Risk
Factors” and “Item 4 — E. Other Matters”.

The year 2015 was marked by the sharp decline of oil prices, in a
context of global abundance of supply. The Brent oil price
averaged $52/b in 2015, almost 50% less than in 2014. In the
downstream, the environment was favorable. Margins in refining,
petrochemicals and retail were sustained by strong demand. The
competitiveness of European activities improved, notably due to
the lower cost of raw materials and a favorable euro-dollar
exchange rate.

In this context, TOTAL’s net income (Group share) in 2015
increased by 20% to $5,087 million from $4,244 million in 2014,
mainly due to a less negative impact on net income (Group share)
in 2015 of special items, with the strong performance of the
Group’s integrated model and its cost reduction program being
demonstrated despite the 47% drop in the average Brent price.
For additional information, refer to “—Results 2013-2015”, below,
and to Note 4D to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Adjustments to net income (Group share), which include special
items and the after-tax inventory valuation effect, had a negative
impact of $5,431 million in 2015. Excluding these items, adjusted
net income (Group share) declined by 18% to $10,518 million in
2015 compared to $12,837 million in 2014, primarily due to the
impact of lower Brent prices on Upstream results, partially offset
by a higher contribution from downstream activities.

that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed in the forward-looking statements, see “Cautionary
Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” on page iii.

Effective January 1, 2014, TOTAL changed the presentation
currency of the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements from
the Euro to the US Dollar and applied IFRIC 21. Comparative 2013
information has been restated.

Discipline on spending was reinforced in 2015. The cost reduction
program allowed the Group to save $1.5 billion, above the
objective of $1.2 billion. Organic investments(1) were $23 billion, a
decrease of close to 15% compared to 2014.

In the Upstream segment, adjusted net operating income was
$4.8 billion in 2015, a decrease of 55% compared to 2014
essentially due to lower oil and gas prices. Upstream production
increased by a record 9.4%. Nine projects were started up
globally: Ofon 2 in Nigeria, Eldfisk 2 in Norway, West Franklin 2 in
the United Kingdom, Termokarstovoye in Russia, Dalia Phase 1a in
Angola, Surmont 2 in Canada, GLNG in Australia, Lianzi located in
the unitized zone between Congo and Angola, and Moho
phase 1b in Congo.

The Group was able to prepare its future with a reserve
replacement rate of 107%. It continued its exploration program
and made discoveries in Argentina, Myanmar and Nigeria.

In the Refining & Chemicals segment, adjusted net operating
income was $4.9 billion in 2015, almost twice the level of 2014.
Strong operational performance, with a utilization rate averaging
89% for the year, enabled the segment to fully benefit from high
margins. The segment also benefited from the ramp-up of
SATORP in Saudi Arabia. Modernization projects have been
launched, with the conversion of La Mède into a bio-refinery in
France, the Lindsey restructuring in the UK and the Antwerp
refinery modernization.

In the Marketing & Services segment, adjusted net operating
income was $1.7 billion in 2015, an increase of 35% compared to
2014. This good performance was due to the growth in sales and
margins in a favorable environment and to the contribution of the
SunPower affiliate with the finalization of the Quinto solar farm in
the United States.

Divestments were $6 billion, essentially comprised of the
finalization of the Bostik disposal, onshore blocks in Nigeria,
Totalgaz, the Schwedt refinery, Geosel oil storage facilities, coal
production activities in South Africa and partial interests in Laggan-
Tormore and Fort Hills.

Acquisitions were $3.4 billion, essentially comprised of the ADCO
license extension in the United Arab Emirates, the acquisition of an
additional 0.7% interest in the capital of Novatek in Russia
(increasing the Group’s interest to 18.9%), and the carry on the
Utica field in the United States.

Item 5 - Critical Accounting Policies

The net-debt-to-equity ratio at year-end decreased to 28% as a
result of a financial policy which is designed to maintain a strong
balance sheet through the cycle.

In the numerous countries where its projects are conducted, the
Group also places an emphasis on Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR) challenges and the development of local economies.

–

Outlook

In 2015, the return on equity for the Group was 11.5%. TOTAL
resisted the drop in prices by leveraging the effectiveness of its
integrated model and its strong operational performance. The
Group will further pursue this strategy and all of the necessary
actions will continue to be implemented to reduce costs and
maintain a solid balance sheet, demonstrating once again the
Group’s capacity to adapt.

In 2016, the Group will reduce its organic investments to around
$19 billion, a reduction of more than 15% compared to 2015. This
marks a transition to a sustainable level of investments of
$17-19 billion from 2017 onwards. The cost reduction program

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the Group’s accounting policies is included in the
Introduction and Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Management believes that the application of these policies on a
consistent basis enables the Group to report useful and reliable
information about the Group’s financial condition and results of
operations.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS
requires the executive management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities
and contingent liabilities at the date of preparation of the financial
statements and reported income and expenses for the period.
Management reviews these estimates and assumptions on an
ongoing basis, by reference to past experience and various other
factors considered as reasonable which form the basis for
assessing the carrying amount of assets and liabilities. Actual
results may differ significantly from these estimates, if different
assumptions or circumstances apply.

Furthermore, where the accounting treatment of a specific
transaction is not addressed by any accounting standard or
interpretation, management applies its judgment to define and
apply accounting policies that provide information consistent with
the general IFRS concepts: faithful representation, relevance and
materiality.

The following summary provides further information about the
critical accounting policies that involve significant elements of
management judgment, and which could have a significant impact
on the results of the Group. It should be read in conjunction with
Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The assessment of critical accounting policies below is not meant
to be an all-inclusive discussion of the uncertainties in financial
results that can occur from the application of the full range of the
Company’s accounting policies. Materially different financial results
could occur in the application of other accounting policies as well.
Likewise, materially different results can occur upon the adoption
of new accounting standards promulgated by the various rule-
making bodies.

launched in 2014 will be reinforced, enabling Opex savings of
$2.4 billion in 2016 and underpinning the objective of more than
$3 billion in 2017. The asset sales program will continue in line with
the plan, with $4 billion expected in 2016, the same level as 2015.

In the Upstream, five major start ups are planned in 2016. The first
of these, Laggan-Tormore, took place on February 8. Production is
expected to grow by 4% in 2016 compared to 2015, following
more than 9% in 2015 compared to 2014, confirming the growth
target of 5% per year on average between 2014 and 2019.

In the Downstream, the target to reduce European refining
capacity by 20% will be achieved by end-2016, one year ahead of
the initial plan announced in 2012. The cessation of traditional
refining activities at La Mède in view of its conversion to a
bio-refinery, the restructuring of the Lindsey refinery and the
modernization of the Antwerp refinery will be finalized before the
end of the year, with the first benefits expected from 2017.

The strategy implemented by the Group in 2015 based on its four
priorities of Safety, Delivery, Costs and Cash, will continue in 2016,
notably for the benefit of its shareholders.

Successful efforts method of oil and gas accounting

The Group follows the successful efforts method of accounting for
its oil and gas activities. The Group’s oil and gas reserves are
estimated by the Group’s petroleum engineers in accordance with
industry standards and SEC regulations. 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 producible 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. Estimated oil and gas reserves are based
on available reservoir data and prices and costs in the accounting
period during which the estimate is made and are subject to future
revision. The Group reassesses its oil and gas reserves at least
once a year on all its properties.

Exploration leasehold acquisition costs are capitalized when
acquired. During the exploration phase, management exercises
judgment on the probability that prospects ultimately would
partially or fully fail to find proved oil and gas reserves. Based on
this judgmental approach, a leasehold impairment charge may be
recorded. This position is assessed and adjusted throughout the
contractual period of the leasehold based in particular on the
results of exploratory activity and any impairment is adjusted
prospectively.

When a discovery is made, exploratory drilling costs continue to be
capitalized pending determination of whether potentially economic
oil and gas reserves have been discovered by the drilling effort.
The length of time necessary for this determination depends on the
specific technical or economic difficulties in assessing the
recoverability of the reserves. If a determination is made that the
well did not encounter oil and gas in economically viable quantities,
the well costs are expensed and are reported in exploration
expense.

Exploratory drilling costs are temporarily capitalized pending
determination of whether the well has found proved reserves if
both of the following conditions are met:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify, if
appropriate, its completion as a producing well, assuming
that the required capital expenditure is made; and
satisfactory progress toward ultimate development of the
reserves is being achieved, with the Company making
sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic
and operating viability of the project.

The Company evaluates the progress made on the basis of regular
project reviews which take into account the following factors:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

First, if additional exploratory drilling or other exploratory
activities (such as seismic work or other significant studies)
are either underway or firmly planned, the Company deems
there is satisfactory progress. For these purposes, exploratory
activities are considered firmly planned only if they are
included in the Company’s 3-year exploration plan/budget.
In cases where exploratory activity has been completed, the
evaluation of satisfactory progress takes into account
indicators such as the fact that costs for development studies
are incurred in the current period, or that governmental or
other third-party authorizations are pending or that the
availability of capacity on an existing transport or processing
facility awaits confirmation.

The successful efforts method requires, among other things, that
the capitalized costs for proved oil and gas properties (which
include the costs of drilling successful wells) be amortized on the
basis of reserves that are produced in a period as a percentage of
the total estimated proved reserves (unit-of-production method).
The impact of changes in estimated proved reserves is dealt with
prospectively by amortizing the remaining book value of the asset
over the expected future production. If proved reserve estimates
are revised downward, earnings could be affected by higher
depreciation expense or an immediate write-down of the
property’s book value. Conversely, if the oil and gas quantities
were revised upwards, future per-barrel depreciation and depletion
expense would be lower.

Valuation of long-lived assets

In addition to oil and gas assets that could become impaired under
the application of successful efforts accounting, other assets could
become impaired and require write-down if circumstances
warrant. Conditions that could cause an asset to become impaired
include lower-than-expected commodity sales prices, changes in
the Group’s business plans or a significant adverse change in the
local or national business climate. The amount of an impairment
charge would be based on estimates of the higher of the value in
use or the fair value minus cost to sell compared with its book
value. The value in use is based on the present value of expected
future cash flow using assumptions commensurate with the risks
involved in the asset group. The expected future cash flow used
for impairment reviews is based on judgmental assessments of
future production volumes, prices and costs, considering
information available at the date of review.

Asset retirement obligations and environmental
remediation

When the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive),
upon application of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 37 and
IAS 16, it records provisions for the future decommissioning of
production facilities at the end of their economic lives.
Management makes judgments and estimates in recording these
liabilities. Most of these removal obligations are many years in the
future and the precise requirements that will have to be met when
the removal event actually occurs are uncertain. Asset removal
technologies and costs are constantly changing, as well as
political, environmental, safety and public expectations.

Item 5 - Critical Accounting Policies

The Group also makes judgments and estimates in recording
costs and establishing provisions for environmental clean-up and
remediation costs, which are based on current information on
costs and expected plans for remediation. For environmental
provisions, actual costs can differ from estimates because of
changes in laws and regulations, public expectations, discovery
and analysis of site conditions and changes in clean-up
technology.

Pensions and post-retirement benefits

Accounting for pensions and other post-retirement benefits
involves judgments about uncertain events, including estimated
retirement dates, salary levels at retirement, mortality rates,
determination of discount rates for measuring plan obligations,
healthcare cost-trend rates and rates of utilization of healthcare
services by retirees. These assumptions are based on the
environment in each country. The assumptions used are reviewed
at the end of each year and may vary from year-to-year, based on
the evolution of the situation, which will affect future results of
operations. Any differences between these assumptions and the
actual outcome will also impact future results of operations.

The significant assumptions used to account for pensions and
other post-retirement benefits are determined as follows.

Discount rates are determined by reference to the high quality
rates of AA-rated corporate bonds of a duration equivalent to that
of the plan obligations. Inflation rates reflect market conditions
observed on a country-by-country basis.

Salary increase assumptions (when relevant) are determined by
each entity. They reflect an estimate of the actual future salary
levels of the individual employees involved, including future
changes attributed to general price levels (consistent with inflation
rate assumptions), productivity, seniority, promotion and other
factors.

Healthcare cost trend assumptions (when relevant) reflect an
estimate of the actual future changes in the cost of the healthcare-
related benefits provided to the plan participants and are based on
past and current healthcare cost trends including healthcare
inflation, changes in healthcare utilization, and changes in health
status of the participants.

Demographic assumptions such as mortality, disability and
turnover reflect the best estimate of these future events for the
individual employees involved, based principally on available
actuarial data.

The effect pensions had on results of operations, cash flow and
liquidity is fully set out in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements. Net employee benefit expense in 2015 amounted to
$345 million and the Company’s contributions to pension plans
were $311 million.

Differences between projected and actual costs and between the
normative return and the actual return on plan assets routinely
occur and are recognized in the statement of comprehensive
income, with no possibility to subsequently recycle them to the
income statement.

The past service cost in respect of defined benefit plans is
recorded immediately in the statement of income, whether vested
or unvested.

For defined contribution plans, expenses correspond to the
contributions paid.

–

Income tax computation

The computation of the Group’s income tax expense requires the
interpretation of complex tax laws and regulations in many taxing
jurisdictions around the world, the determination of expected
outcomes from pending litigation, and the assessment of audit
findings that are performed by numerous taxing authorities. Actual
income tax expense may differ from management’s estimates.

Group results 2015 vs. 2014

Market conditions were less favorable in 2015, with the average
Brent price having decreased by 47% to $52.4/b in 2015
compared to $99.0/b in 2014. In 2015, TOTAL’s average liquids
price realization(1) decreased by 47% to $47.4/b from $89.4/b in
2014. TOTAL’s average natural gas price realization for the
Group’s consolidated subsidiaries decreased in 2015 by 28% to
$4.75/Mbtu from $6.57/Mbtu in 2014. In the downstream, the
Group’s European refining margin indicator (“ERMI”) more than
doubled to $48.5/t in 2015 compared to $18.7/t in 2014. In the
fourth quarter of 2015, the ERMI was $38.1/t. Petrochemical
margins in Europe increased in 2015 due to a strong demand for
polymers and the decrease in raw material costs.

The Euro depreciated in 2015 compared to the US Dollar, with the
euro-dollar exchange rate averaging $1.11/€ in 2015 compared to
$1.33/€ in 2014.

In this context, non-Group sales in 2015 were $165,357 million, a
decrease of 30% compared to $236,122 million for 2014, due
mainly to the decrease of oil and gas prices, with non-Group sales
decreasing 28% for the Upstream segment, 33% for the Refining &
Chemicals segment and 27% for the Marketing & Services
segment.

Net income (Group share) in 2015 increased by 20% to
$5,087 million from $4,244 million in 2014, mainly due to a less
negative impact on net income (Group share) in 2015 of special
items, with the strong performance of the Group’s integrated
model and its cost reduction program being demonstrated despite
the 47% drop in the Brent price. Adjustments to net income
(Group share), which include special items and the after-tax
inventory valuation effect, had a negative impact on net income
(Group share) of $5,431 million in 2015. This includes impairments
on Fort Hills in Canada and Gladstone LNG in Australia as well as
in Libya, an adjustment to depreciation on Usan in Nigeria
following the cancellation of the sale process, the impairment of
exploration projects that will not be developed and a negative
inventory effect. For a detailed overview of adjustment items for
2015, refer to Note 4D to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In 2014, adjustment items had a negative impact on net income
(Group share) of $8,593 million, including impairments of oil sands
in Canada, unconventional gas notably in the United States,
refining in Europe and certain other assets in the Upstream, and a
negative inventory valuation effect, which was partially offset by a
gain on asset sales, including for the Group’s interests in Shah
Deniz in Azerbaijan and GTT. Excluding these items, adjusted net
income (Group share) declined by 18% to $10,518 million in 2015
compared to $12,837 million in 2014, primarily due to the impact
of lower Brent prices on Upstream results, partially offset by a
higher contribution from downstream activities.

Income taxes in 2015 amounted to $1,653 million, a decrease of
81% compared to $8,614 million in 2014, as a result of the
decrease in taxable income and the Group’s lower tax rate.

TOTAL bought back in 2015 approximately 4.7 million of its own
shares (i.e., approximately 0.19% of the share capital as of
December 31, 2015) under the authorization granted by the
shareholders at the meeting of May 29, 2015 (see “Item 10 —
1.6. Share buybacks”). The number of fully-diluted shares at
December 31, 2015, was 2,336 million compared to 2,285 million
at December 31, 2014.

Fully-diluted earnings per share, based on 2,304 million weighted-
average shares, was $2.16 in 2015 compared to $1.86 in 2014,
an increase of 16%.

Asset sales were $5,968 million in 2015, comprised mainly of the
sales of Bostik, interests in onshore blocks in Nigeria, Totalgaz, the
Schwedt Refinery, the Geosel oil storage facility, coal mining
assets in South Africa and partial interests in Laggan-Tormore and
Fort Hills. Asset sales were $4,650 million in 2014.

Acquisitions were $3,441 million in 2015, comprised mainly of the
renewal of the ADCO license in the United Arab Emirates, the
acquisition of a further 0.7% in the capital of Novatek in Russia
bringing the Group participation to 18.9%, and the carry on the
Utica gas and condensate field in the United States. Acquisitions
were $2,539 million in 2014.

Net investments(2) were $20.4 billion in 2015 compared to
$24.1 billion in 2014, a decrease of 16% mainly due to a lower
level of capital expenditure.

Group results 2014 vs. 2013

The average Brent price decreased by 9% to $99.0/b in 2014
compared to 2013. Brent dropped sharply in the second half, from
about $110/b to less than $60/b by December 31, 2014. In 2014,
TOTAL’s average liquids price realization decreased by 13% to
$89.4/b from $103.3/b in 2013. TOTAL’s average natural gas
price realization for the Group’s consolidated subsidiaries
decreased in 2014 by 8% to $6.57/Mbtu from $7.12/Mbtu in
2013. In the downstream, the ERMI was $18.7/t in 2014
compared to $17.9/t in 2013, an increase of 4%. The environment
for petrochemicals also improved, notably in the United States.

The euro-dollar exchange rate averaged $1.33/€ in 2014,
unchanged from 2013, though the euro did start to decline against
the dollar in the second half of 2014.

In this context, non-Group sales in 2014 were $236,122 million, a
decrease of 6% compared to $251,725 million for 2013, with non-
Group sales decreasing 11% for the Upstream segment, 7% for
the Refining & Chemicals segment and 4% for the Marketing &
Services segment.

Net income (Group share) in 2014 decreased by 62% to $4,244
million from $11,228 million in 2013, mainly due to a more negative
impact on net income (Group share) of special items. Adjustments
to net income (Group share), which include special items and the
after-tax inventory valuation effect, had a negative impact on net
income (Group share) of $8,593 million in 2014, including

offset by a gain on asset sales, including for the Group’s interests
in Shah Deniz in Azerbaijan and GTT. In 2013, adjustments items
had a negative impact on net income (Group share) of $3,064
million, including a loss on the sale of the Voyageur upgrader
project in Canada, the impairment of Upstream assets in the
Barnett field in the United States and in Syria, charges, write-offs
related to the restructuring of downstream activities in France, and
a negative inventory effect, which were partially offset by the gain
on the sales of TIGF and Upstream assets in Italy. Excluding these
items, adjusted net income (Group share) declined by 10% to
$12,837 million in 2014 compared to $14,292 million in 2013,
primarily due to the impact of lower Brent prices on Upstream
results, partially offset by a higher contribution from downstream
activities.
Income taxes in 2014 amounted to $8,614 million, a decrease of
42% compared to $14,767 million in 2013, as a result of the
decrease in taxable income and the Group’s lower tax rate.
TOTAL bought back in 2014 nearly 4.4 million of its own shares
(i.e., approximately 0.18% of the share capital as of December 31,
2014) under the authorization granted by the shareholders at the
meeting of May 16, 2014. The number of fully-diluted shares at
December 31, 2014, was 2,285 million compared to 2,276 million
at December 31, 2013.
Fully-diluted earnings per share, based on 2,281 million weighted-
average shares, was $1.86 in 2014 compared to $4.94 in 2013, a
decrease of 62%.
Asset sales were $4,650 million in 2014, comprised essentially of
the sale of interests in Shah Deniz and the associated pipelines in
Azerbaijan, Block 15/06 in Angola, GTT and the Cardinal
midstream assets in the United States. Asset sales were $4,750
million in 2013.
Acquisitions were $2,539 million in 2014, comprised principally of
the acquisition of an interest in the Elk and Antelope discoveries in
Papua New Guinea, the acquisition of an additional interest in
Novatek(1) and the carry on the Utica gas and condensate field in
the United States. In 2013, acquisitions were $4,473 million.
Net investments were $24.1 billion in 2014 compared to
$25.9 billion in 2013, a decrease of 7% reflecting a lower level of
capital expenditure and a lower level of acquisitions.

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 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 asset disposals, which are not considered to
be representative of the normal course of business, may also be
qualified 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 the 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 Group’s 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

Item 5 - Results 2013-2015

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 TOTAL’s
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 Group’s 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
Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, see Note 4
to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Group measures performance at the segment level on the
basis of net operating income and 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(2)), see
Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 5 - Results 2013-2015

2015 vs. 2014

For the full-year 2015, hydrocarbon production was 2,347 kboe/d,
an increase of 9.4% compared to 2014, due to the following:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)
(cid:129)

+6% for new project start ups and ramp ups, notably CLOV,
West Franklin Phase 2, Eldfisk II and Termokarstovoye;
+6% due to portfolio changes, mainly the extension of the
ADCO concession in the United Arab Emirates, partially
offsetby asset sales in the North Sea, Nigeria and Azerbaijan;
-4% due to shutdowns in Yemen and in Libya; and
+1% due to the price effect(1) and field performance, net of
natural field decline.

Proved hydrocarbon reserves based on SEC rules (based on Brent
at $54.17/b) were 11,580 Mboe at December 31, 2015, compared
to 11,523 Mboe at December 31, 2014 (Brent at $101.3/b). Based
on the 2015 average rate of production, the reserve life is more
than 13 years. In 2015, the proved reserve replacement rate(2) was
107%, notably due to the extension of the ADCO concession.

See “Item 4 — B. Business Overview — 2.1.2. Reserves” for a
discussion of proved reserves and section 1 of “Supplemental Oil
and Gas Information (Unaudited)” contained elsewhere herein for
additional information on proved reserves, including tables
showing changes in proved reserves by region.

The Upstream segment’s non-Group sales in 2015 were
$16,840 million compared to $23,484 million in 2014, a decrease
of 28%.

Upstream net operating income in 2015 amounted to
$(1,216) million (for 2014, $5,997 million) from operating income of
$(2,941) million (for 2014, $10,494 million). The difference between
net operating income and operating income resulted primarily from
income from equity affiliates and other items of $2,019 million (for
2014, $4,302 million), partially offset by taxes on net operating
income of $294 million (for 2014, tax charge of $8,799 million).

Adjusted net operating income from the Upstream segment was
$4,774 million for the full-year 2015, a decrease of 55% compared
to $10,504 million for 2014, essentially due to the lower price of
hydrocarbons, partially offset by an increase in production, a
decrease in operating costs, and a lower effective tax rate.

Adjusted net operating income for the Upstream segment
excludes special items. The exclusion of special items had a
positive impact on the segment’s adjusted net operating income in
2015 of $5,990 million, comprised mainly of impairments on Fort
Hills in Canada and Gladstone LNG in Australia as well as in Libya,
an adjustment to depreciation on Usan in Nigeria following the
cancellation of the sale process and the impairment of exploration
projects that will not be developed (for additional information, see
Note 4D to the Consolidated Financial Statements). In 2014, the
exclusion of special items had a positive impact on the segment’s
adjusted net operating income of $4,507 million, comprised mainly
of the impairment of the Group’s oil sands assets in Canada, its
unconventional gas assets, notably in the United States, and
certain other assets in the Upstream segment.

The effective tax rate(3) for the Upstream segment in 2015 was
45.5% compared to 57.1% in 2014. The lower rate reflects mainly
lower oil and gas prices.

Technical costs(4) for consolidated subsidiaries, calculated in
accordance with ASC 932(5), were $23.0/boe in 2015 compared to
$28.3/boe in 2014. This reduction is essentially due to the
execution of the Group’s program to reduce operating costs
(which decreased from $9.9/boe in 2014 to $7.4/boe in 2015) and
lower depreciation (portfolio effect).

The Upstream segment’s total capital expenditures in 2015
decreased by 8% to $24,270 million from $26,520 million in 2014,
reflecting essentially a lower level of expenditure on development
projects. Development expenditure mainly pertained to the nine
projects started in 2015 (Ofon 2, Eldfisk 2, West Franklin 2,
Surmont, Termokarstovoye, GLNG, Dalia Phase 1a, Moho
Phase 1b, Lianzi), the five projects that are expected to start in
2016 (Laggan-Tormore, Vega Pleyade, Incahuasi, Angola LNG and
Kashagan) and to other major projects under construction like
Moho North in the Republic of the Congo, Ichthys in Australia,
Egina in Nigeria and Yamal in Russia. Divestments by the
Upstream segment were $3,215 million in 2015, a decrease of
44% compared to $5,764 million in 2014.

In this context, the segment’s ROACE for the full-year 2015 was
4.6% compared to 10.7% for the full-year 2014.

2014 vs. 2013

For the full-year 2014, hydrocarbon production was 2,146 kboe/d,
a decrease of 7% compared to 2013, essentially as a result of:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

-6% essentially for the expiration of the ADCO license in the
United Arab Emirates in January 2014;
-2% essentially for natural decline and higher maintenance in
2014 notably in the first half, partially offset by production
growth in the Utica in the United States; and
+1% for production growth from start-ups, essentially CLOV
in Angola.

Excluding ADCO, hydrocarbon production was virtually stable
compared to 2013.

Proved reserves based on SEC rules were 11,523 Mboe at
December 31, 2014 (Brent at $101.3/b) compared to 11,526
Mboe at December 31, 2013 (Brent at $108.2/b). Based on the
2014 average rate of production, the reserve life was more than
13 years. In 2014, the proved reserve replacement rate was 100%.

The Upstream segment’s non-Group sales in 2014 were
$23,484 million compared to $26,367 million in 2013, a decrease
of 11%.

Upstream net operating income in 2014 amounted to
$5,997 million (for 2013, $11,640 million) from operating income of
$10,494 million (for 2013, $22,658 million). The difference between
net operating income and operating income resulted primarily from
taxes on net operating income of $8,799 million (for 2013, tax
charge of $13,706 million), partially offset by income from equity
affiliates and other items of $4,302 million (for 2013, income of
$2,688 million).

Adjusted net operating income from the Upstream segment in
2014 was $10,504 million compared to $12,450 million in 2013, a
decrease of 16%, which was due essentially to the decrease in the
average realized price of hydrocarbons.

The “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, TOTAL’s share of production normally decreases.
Change in reserves excluding production: (revisions + discoveries, extensions + acquisitions – divestments) / production for the period.
Defined as: (tax on adjusted net operating income) / (adjusted net operating income – income from equity affiliates – dividends received from investments + tax on adjusted
net operating income).
(Production costs + exploration expenses + depreciation, depletion and amortization and valuation allowances)/production of the year.

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

Adjusted net operating income for the Upstream segment
excludes special items. The exclusion of special items had a
positive impact on the segment’s adjusted net operating income in
2014 of $4,507 million, comprised mainly of the impairment of the
Group’s oil sands assets in Canada, its unconventional gas assets,
notably in the United States, and certain other assets in the
Upstream segment. In 2013, the exclusion of special items had a
positive impact on the segment’s adjusted net operating income of
$810 million, comprised mainly of a loss on the sale of the
Voyageur upgrader project in Canada and the impairment of
Upstream assets, principally in the Barnett field in the United
States and in Syria, partially offset by the gain on the sales of TIGF
and Upstream assets in Italy.

The effective tax rate for the Upstream segment in 2014 was
57.1% compared to 60.0% in 2013. The lower rate reflects mainly
the benefit of tax allowances in the UK in the second quarter 2014.

Technical costs for consolidated subsidiaries, calculated in
accordance with ASC 932, were $28.3/boe in 2014 compared to
$26.1/boe in 2013, an increase due principally to the increase in
depreciation of fixed assets and the increase in production costs,
mainly maintenance costs.

The Upstream segment’s total capital expenditures in 2014
decreased by 11% to $26,520 million from $29,750 million in
2013, reflecting essentially a lower level of expenditure on
development projects. In 2014, in the Upstream segment, capital
expenditure mainly pertained to major projects that drive the
Group’s growth, such as GLNG and Ichthys in Australia, Surmont
in Canada, the Ekofisk and Eldfisk areas in Norway, the Laggan-
Tormore projects in the United Kingdom, Moho North in the
Republic of the Congo, CLOV in Angola, Ofon II and Egina in
Nigeria and Yamal in Russia. Divestments by the Upstream
segment were $5,764 million in 2014, a slight decrease compared
to $5,786 million in 2013.

In this context, the segment’s ROACE for the full-year 2014 was
10.7% compared to 13.8% for the full-year 2013.

Item 5 - Results 2013-2015

2015 vs. 2014

In 2015, the Refining & Chemicals segment benefited from a
favorable environment, notably in Europe. The ERMI averaged
$48.5/t in 2015 compared to $18.7/t in 2014, mainly due to strong
demand for gasoline. In the fourth quarter of 2015, the ERMI was
$38.1/t. Refinery throughput in 2015 increased by 9% to
1,938 kb/d compared to 1,775 kb/d in 2014. Actions to improve
the availability in Europe resulted in a high utilization rate of 89%.
The segment also benefited from the ramp-up of SATORP in Saudi
Arabia. Petrochemical margins in Europe increased in 2015 due to
strong demand for polymers and the decrease in raw material
costs.

Non-Group sales for the segment in 2015 were $70,623 million
compared to $106,124 million in 2014, a decrease of 33%.

The net operating income of the Refining & Chemicals segment in
2015 increased to $5,219 million (for 2014, $(1,210) million) from
operating income of $4,544 million (for 2014, $(1,691) million). The
difference between net operating income and operating income
resulted primarily from income from equity affiliates and other items
of $1,780 million (for 2014, income of $90 million), partially offset
by taxes on net operating income of $1,105 million (for 2014, tax
income of $391 million).

The segment’s adjusted net operating income in 2015 was
$4,889 million, twice the level of $2,489 million in 2014, due to
strong industrial performance during a period of high margins and
cost reduction programs.

Adjusted net operating income for the Refining & Chemicals
segment excludes any after-tax inventory valuation effect and
special items. The exclusion of the inventory valuation effect had a
positive impact on the segment’s adjusted net operating income in
2015 of $590 million compared to a positive impact of
$2,114 million in 2014, for both periods essentially due to a
reduction of stock. The exclusion of special items had a negative
impact on the segment’s adjusted net operating income in 2015 of
$920 million, consisting essentially of gains on asset sales,
compared to a positive impact of $1,585 million in 2014,
consisting essentially of impairments of European refining assets.

Investments by the Refining & Chemicals segment in 2015 were
$1,843 million compared to $2,022 million in 2014, a decrease of
9%. Divestments by the segment were $3,488 million in 2015
compared to $192 million in 2014.

In this context, the segment’s ROACE for the full year 2015 was
41.0% compared to 15.0% for the full year 2014.

2014 vs. 2013

The ERMI for the full-year 2014 was $18.7/t, an increase of 4%
compared to $17.9/t in 2013. Refinery throughput in 2014
increased slightly by 3% to 1,775 kb/d compared to 1,719 kb/d in
2013, essentially due to the start up of SATORP.

Non-Group sales for the segment in 2014 were $106,124 million
compared to $114,483 million in 2013, a decrease of 7%.

The net operating income of the Refining & Chemicals segment in
2014 decreased to $(1,210) million (for 2013, $(254) million) from
operating income of $(1,691) million (for 2013, $177 million). The
difference between net operating income and operating income
resulted primarily from taxes on net operating income of
$(391) million (for 2013, tax charge of $612 million) and income
from equity affiliates and other items of $90 million (for 2013,
income of $181 million).

The segment’s adjusted net operating income in 2014 was
$2,489 million, an increase of 34% compared to 2013 while the
refining margin increased by only 4% in 2014. The synergies and

2015 Form 20-F TOTAL S.A.

79

Item 5 - Results 2013-2015

efficiency plans supported the ability of the segment to adapt to the
lower European margins in the first half and subsequently to take
advantage of a more favorable refining and chemicals environment
in the second half of the year. The petrochemicals environment was
more favorable in 2014, especially in the United States.

Adjusted net operating income for the Refining & Chemicals
segment excludes any after-tax inventory valuation effect and
special items. The exclusion of the inventory valuation effect had a
positive impact on the segment’s adjusted net operating income in
2014 of $2,114 million, essentially as a result of a reduction of
stocks, and a positive impact of $656 million in 2013. The
exclusion of special items had a positive impact on the segment’s
adjusted net operating income in 2014 of $1,585 million,
consisting essentially of impairments of European refining assets,
compared to a positive impact of $1,455 million in 2013 , reflecting
mainly charges and write-offs related to the restructuring of
downstream activities in France.

Investments by the Refining & Chemicals segment in 2014 were
$2,022 million compared to $2,708 million in 2013, a decrease of
25%. Divestments by the segment were $192 million in 2014
compared to $365 million in 2013, a decrease of 47%.

In this context, the segment’s ROACE for the full year 2014 was
15.0% compared to 9.2% for the full year 2013. The segment
attained its profitability objective one year earlier than the schedule
fixed in 2011.

2015 vs. 2014

The Marketing & Services segment’s refined product sales(1) were
1,818 kb/d in 2015 compared to 1,769 kb/d in 2014, an increase
of 3%. In addition to strong growth in Africa, the sector benefited
from its strategic repositioning in Europe and demand stimulated
by lower prices. The segment’s non-Group sales in 2015 were
$77,887 million, a decrease of 27% compared to $106,509 million
in 2014.

Net operating income for the Marketing & Services segment in
2015 was $1,470 million (for 2014, $674 million) from operating
income of $1,758 million (for 2014, $1,158 million). The difference
between net operating income and operating income resulted
primarily from taxes on net operating income of $585 million (for
2014, tax charge of $344 million), partially offset by income from
equity affiliates and other items of $297 million (for 2014, loss of
$140 million).

Adjusted net operating income in 2015 for the segment was
$1,699 million compared to $1,254 million in 2014, an increase of
35% compared to 2014, benefiting from an increase in sales and
margins in a favorable environment, and the contribution of
SunPower.

Adjusted net operating income for the Marketing & Services
segment excludes any after-tax inventory valuation effect and
special items. The exclusion of the inventory valuation effect had a
positive impact on the segment’s adjusted net operating income in
2015 of $169 million compared to a positive impact of $384 million
in 2014. The exclusion of special items had a positive impact on
the segment’s adjusted net operating income in 2015 of
$60 million compared to a positive impact of $196 million in 2014.

Investments by the Marketing & Services segment in 2015 were
$1,841 million compared to $1,818 million in 2014. Divestments by
the segment in 2015 were $856 million compared to $163 million
in 2014.

In this context, the segment’s ROACE for the full year 2015 was
19.7% compared to 13.3% for the full year 2014.

2014 vs. 2013

The Marketing & Services segment’s refined product sales were
1,769 kb/d in 2014 compared to 1,749 kb/d in 2013, an increase
of 1% due to higher sales in growth areas and offset by lower
sales in Europe, mainly due to mild winter weather conditions
impacting heating oil sales and low retail sales throughout the year.
The segment’s non-Group sales in 2014 were $106,509 million, a
decrease of 4% compared to $110,873 million in 2013.

Net operating income for the Marketing & Services segment in 2014
was $674 million (for 2013, $1,509 million) from operating income of
$1,158 million (for 2013, $2,014 million). The difference between net
operating income and operating income resulted primarily from taxes
on net operating income of $344 million (for 2013, tax charge of
$560 million) and a loss from equity affiliates and other items of
$140 million (for 2013, income of $55 million).

Adjusted net operating income in 2014 for the segment was
$1,254 million compared to $1,554 million in 2013, a decrease of
19% mainly due to a negative accounting effect of $100 million on
the valuation of hedging positions in the fourth quarter of 2014 and
weather conditions in the first half in Europe and lower margins in
2014, notably in the European network.

Adjusted net operating income for the Marketing & Services
segment excludes any after-tax inventory valuation effect and
special items. The exclusion of the inventory valuation effect had a
positive impact on the segment’s adjusted net operating income in
2014 of $384 million compared to a positive impact of $63 million
in 2013. The exclusion of special items had a positive impact on
the segment’s adjusted net operating income in 2014 of
$196 million compared to a negative impact of $18 million in 2013.

Investments by the Marketing & Services segment in 2014 were
$1,818 million compared to $1,814 million in 2013. Divestments by
the segment in 2014 were $163 million compared to $186 million
in 2013, a decrease of 12%.

In this context, the segment’s ROACE for the full year 2014 was
13.3% compared to 16.1% for the full year 2013.

TOTAL’s cash requirements for working capital, capital
expenditures, acquisitions and dividend payments over the past
three years were financed primarily by a combination of funds
generated from operations, borrowings and divestments of non-
core assets. 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 Company’s opinion, its working capital is sufficient for its
present requirements.

–

Capital expenditures

The largest part of TOTAL’s capital expenditures in 2015 was
made up of additions to intangible assets and property, plant and
equipment (approximately 90%), with the remainder attributable to
equity-method affiliates and to acquisitions of subsidiaries. In the
Upstream segment, as described in more detail under
“Supplemental Oil and Gas Information (Unaudited) — 1.1.6. Cost
incurred”, capital expenditures in 2015 were principally
development costs (approximately 80%, mainly for construction of
new production facilities), exploration expenditures (successful or
unsuccessful, approximately 5%) and acquisitions of proved and
unproved properties (approximately 13%). In the Refining &
Chemicals segment, about 85% of capital expenditures in 2015
were related to refining and petrochemical activities (essentially
60% for existing units including maintenance and major
turnarounds and 40% for new construction), the balance being
related to Specialty Chemicals. In the Marketing & Services
segment, capital expenditures were split between marketing/retail
activities (approximately 70%) and New Energies (approximately
30%). For additional information on capital expenditures, please
refer to the discussion above in “— Overview” and “— Results
2013-2015”, above, and “Item 4 — E. Other Matters —
1. Investments”.

–

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities in 2015 was $19,946 million
compared to $25,608 million in 2014 and $28,513 million in 2013.
The $5,662 million decrease in cash flow from operating activities

Item 5 - Liquidity and Capital Resources

from 2014 to 2015 was due mainly to a lower decrease in working
capital requirements between the two periods ($1,683 million in
2015 compared to $4,480 million in 2014). The Group’s working
capital requirement was affected by the effect of changes in oil and
oil product prices. As IFRS rules require TOTAL to account for
inventories of petroleum products according to the FIFO method, a
lower decrease in oil and oil product prices in 2015 compared to
2014 generates, all other factors remaining equal, a lower
decrease in inventories, resulting in a lower decrease in working
capital requirements. In 2015, the Group’s working capital
requirement decreased by $1,683 million, due in part to reductions
in inventories and receivables partially offset by a decrease in
payables. The Group’s working capital requirement decreased by
$4,480 million in 2014 and by $2,525 million in 2013, in both
cases mainly due to reductions in inventory and receivables.

Cash flow used in investing activities in 2015 was $20,449 million
compared to $24,319 million in 2014 and $28,032 million in 2013.
The decrease from 2014 to 2015 was due to lower expenditures on
the portfolio of Upstream projects, as various projects approach
completion, and by the divestment of Bostik in the Refining &
Chemicals segment, partly offset by the extension of the ADCO
concession in Abu Dhabi. The decrease from 2013 to 2014 was due
to lower expenditures on the portfolio of Upstream projects as various
projects approach completion. Total expenditures in 2015 were
$28,033 million compared to $30,509 million in 2014 and
$34,431 million in 2013. During 2015, 87% of the expenditures were
made by the Upstream segment (as compared to 87% in 2014 and
2013), 7% by the Refining & Chemicals segment (compared to 7% in
2014 and 8% in 2013) and 6% by the Marketing & Services segment
(as compared to 6% in 2014 and 5% in 2013). The main source of
funding for these expenditures has been cash from operating activities
and higher issuance of non-current debt. For additional information on
expenditures, please refer to the discussions above in “— Overview”
and “— Results 2013-2015”.

Divestments, based on selling price and net of cash sold, in 2015
were $7,584 million compared to $6,190 million in 2014 and
$6,399 million in 2013. In 2015, the Group’s principal divestments
were asset sales of $5,968 million, consisting mainly of sales of
Bostik, interests in onshore blocks in Nigeria, Totalgaz, the Schwedt
refinery, the Ge´ osel oil storage facility, coal mining assets in South
Africa, and partial interests in Laggan-Tormore and Fort Hills. In 2014,
the Group’s principal divestments were asset sales of $4,650 million,
consisting mainly of sales in the Upstream segment in Azerbaijan,
Angola and the United States. In 2013, the Group’s principal
divestments were asset sales of $4,750 million, consisting mainly of
sales of assets in the Upstream segment in Canada, Italy and
Trinidad & Tobago, and the sale of its subsidiary Transport et
Infrastructures Gaz France (TIGF).

Cash flow raised from financing activities in 2015 was $1,060 million
compared to cash flow raised of $5,909 million in 2014 and cash flow
used of $1,521 million in 2013. The decrease in cash flow from
financing activities in 2015 compared to 2014 was due primarily to
lower issuance of non-current financial debt ($4,166 million in 2015
compared to $15,786 million in 2014) and a decrease in current
financial assets and liabilities ($(5,517) million in 2015 compared to
$(351) million in 2014), partially offset by the issuance of perpetual
subordinated notes for $5,616 million in 2015 and lower dividends
paid ($(2,845) million in 2015 compared to $(7,308) million in 2014).

On February 22, 2016, Standard & Poor’s downgraded TOTAL’s long
term credit rating from AA- to A+ with a negative outlook. The short
term credit rating was also downgraded from A-1+ to A-1.

Cash and cash equivalents at year-end 2015 were $23,269 million

Shareholders’ equity

Shareholders’ equity at year-end 2015 was $95,409 million
compared to $93,531 million at year-end 2014 and
$103,379 million at year-end 2013. Changes in shareholders’
equity in 2015 were primarily due to the impacts of dividend
payments, the issuance of perpetual subordinated notes and the
issuance of common shares. Changes in shareholders’ equity in

2014 were primarily due to the impacts of dividend payments,
variations in foreign exchange and impairments (for information
concerning the impairments, refer to “— Results 2013-2015”,
above). Changes in shareholders’ equity in 2013 were primarily
due to the addition of net income and other operations with non-
controlling interests, partially offset by the payment of dividends.

In 2015, TOTAL bought back nearly 4.7 million of its own shares
(i.e., 0.19% of the share capital as of December 31, 2015) under
the previous authorization granted by the shareholders at the
meeting of May 29, 2015 (see “Item 10 — 1.6. Share buybacks”).
In 2014, TOTAL bought back nearly 4.4 million of its own shares
(i.e., 0.18% of the share capital as of December 31, 2014) under
the authorization granted by the shareholders at the meeting of
May 16, 2014. In 2013, TOTAL bought back approximately
4.4 million of its own shares (i.e., 0.19% of the share capital as of
December 31, 2013) under the authorization granted by the
shareholders at the meeting of May 17, 2013.

Net-debt-to-equity

As of December 31, 2015, TOTAL’s net-debt-to-equity ratio(2) was
28.3% compared to 31.3% and 23.3% at year-ends 2014 and
2013, respectively. The decrease from 2014 to 2015 was mostly
due to the issuance of perpetual subordinated notes.

As of December 31, 2015, TOTAL S.A. had $10,675 million of long-
term confirmed lines of credit, of which $10,675 million were unused.

GUARANTEES AND OTHER OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As part of certain project financing arrangements, TOTAL S.A.
provided in 2008 guarantees in connection with the financing of
the Yemen LNG project for an amount of $551 million. These
guarantees are presented under “Guarantees given against
borrowings” in Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
“Guarantees given against borrowings” also include the
guarantees provided in 2010 by TOTAL S.A. in connection with the

Non-current debt obligations are included in the items “Non-current financial debt” and “Hedging instruments of non-current financial debt” of the Consolidated Balance
Sheet. The figures in this table are net of the non-current portion of issue swaps and swaps hedging bonds, and exclude non-current finance lease obligations of
$295 million and net current and non-current financial debt of $141 million related to assets classified in accordance with IFRS 5 “non-current assets held for sale and
discontinued operations”.
The current portion of non-current debt is included in the items “Current borrowings”, “Current financial assets” and “Other current financial liabilities” of the balance sheet.
The figures in this table are net of the current portion of issue swaps and swaps hedging bonds and exclude the current portion of finance lease obligations of $41 million.
Finance lease obligations and operating lease obligations: the Group leases real estate, retail stations, ships, and other equipment through non-cancelable capital and
operating leases. These amounts represent the future minimum lease payments on non-cancelable leases to which the Group is committed as of December 31, 2015, less
the financial expense due on finance lease obligations for $55 million.
The discounted present value of Upstream asset retirement obligations, primarily asset removal costs at the completion date.
Purchase obligations are obligations under contractual agreements to purchase goods or services, including capital projects. These obligations are enforceable and legally
binding on TOTAL and specify all significant terms, including the amount and the timing of the payments. These obligations mainly include: hydrocarbon unconditional
purchase contracts (except where an active, highly liquid market exists and when the hydrocarbons are expected to be re-sold shortly after purchase), reservation of
transport capacities in pipelines, unconditional exploration works and development works in the Upstream segment, and contracts for downstream capital investment
projects. This disclosure does not include contractual exploration obligations with host states where a monetary value is not attributed and purchases of booking capacities
in pipelines where the Group has a participation superior to the capacity used.

For additional information on the Group’s contractual obligations,
see Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Group
has other obligations in connection with pension plans which are
described in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. As
these obligations are not contractually fixed as to timing and
amount, they have not been included in this disclosure. Other non-

current liabilities, detailed in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, are liabilities related to risks that are probable and
amounts that can be reasonably estimated. However, no
contractual agreements exist related to the settlement of such
liabilities, and the timing of the settlement is not known.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

In 2015, TOTAL invested $1,068 million in Research and
Development (R&D), compared to $1,353 million in 2014 and
$1,260 million in 2013. There were 4,498 people dedicated to R&D
activities in 2015 compared to 4,840 in 2014 and 4,684 in 2013.
The decrease in R&D budget and staff between 2014 and 2015
was due to divestments during the year (notably Bostik, which
represented an R&D budget of $65 million in 2014). At a constant
scope, the R&D budget has continuously increased since 2004.

R&D at TOTAL focuses on six major axes:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

developing knowledge, tools and technological expertise to
discover and profitably operate complex oil and gas
resources at a reduced cost to help meet the global demand
for energy;
developing, industrializing and improving first-level competitive
processes for the conversion of oil, gas and biomass
resources to adapt to changes in resources and markets,
improve reliability and safety, achieve better energy efficiency,
reduce the environmental footprint and maintain the Group’s
economic margins in the long term;
developing and industrializing solar, biomass and carbon
capture and storage technologies to help prepare for future
energy needs in an economically competitive manner;
developing practical, innovative and competitive materials and
products that meet customers’ specific needs, contribute to
the emergence of new features and systems, enable current
materials to be replaced by materials delivering higher

(cid:129)

performance to users, and address the challenges of
improved energy efficiency, lower environmental impact and
toxicity, better management of their life cycle and waste
recovery;
understanding and measuring the impacts of the Group’s
operations and products on ecosystems (water, soil, air,
biodiversity) and recovering waste to improve environmental
safety, as part of the regulation in place, and reduce their
environmental footprint to endeavor to achieve sustainability in
the Group’s operations; and

(cid:129) mastering and using innovative technologies such as

biotechnologies, materials sciences, nanotechnologies, high-
performance computing, information and communication
technologies or new analytical techniques.

These issues are globally incorporated into the project portfolio to
develop synergies. Different aspects may be looked at
independently by different business segments.

The portfolio managed by Total Energy Ventures, in charge of
developping SMEs specialized in innovative energy technologies
and cleantechs for the Group, has grown regularly since 2009. In
addition, a loan facility was introduced for innovative SMEs that
develop technologies of interest for the Group.

The Group intends to increase R&D in all of its segments through
cross-functional themes and technologies. Constant attention is
paid to R&D synergies between business segments.

activities. Long-term partnerships with universities and academic
laboratories considered to be of strategic importance in Europe,
the United States, Japan and China, as well as innovative small
businesses, are part of the Group’s approach.

Each business segment is developing an active intellectual
property activity aimed at protecting its innovations, allowing its

Composition of the Board of Directors

The Company is administered by a Board of Directors composed of 12 members. The members of the Board of Directors include a director
representing employee shareholders and a director representing employees pursuant to French law.

Directors are appointed for a 3-year term (Article 11 of the Company’s bylaws) by the Shareholders’ Meeting, with the exception of the
director representing employees who is appointed by the Central Works Council.

The terms of office of the members of the Board 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, in accordance with the recommendations made in the AFEP-MEDEF
Code, which the Company uses as a reference.

As of February 10, 2016, the Board of Directors had seven independent directors, i.e., 70%(1) of the directors (refer to “— 1.4. Director
independence”, below).

Mr. Patrick Pouyanné 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 were combined following the decision made by the Board of Directors at its
meeting on December 16, 2015 (refer to “— C.1.1. Governance structure”, below). Since December 19, 2015, Mr. Pouyanné has therefore
been Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TOTAL S.A.

At its meeting on December 16, 2015, the Board of Directors also appointed Ms. Patricia Barbizet as Lead Independent Director for the
duration of her term of office as director. Her duties took effect on December 19, 2015 and are described in “— C.1.2. Working procedures

with 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 members of the Board of Directors of the Company
have informed the Company that they have not been convicted,
have not been associated with a bankruptcy, receivership or
liquidation, and have not been incriminated or publicly sanctioned
or disqualified, as stipulated in item 14.1 of Annex I of EC
Regulation 809/2004 of April 29, 2004.

1.4.

Director independence

At its meeting on February 10, 2016, the Board of Directors, on
the recommendation of the Governance and Ethics Committee,
reviewed the independence of the Company’s directors as of
December 31, 2015. At the Committee’s proposal, the Board
considered that, pursuant to the AFEP-MEDEF Code, a director is
independent when “he or she has no relationship of any kind with
the Company, its Group or its Management, that may compromise
the exercise of his or her freedom of judgment”.

For each director, this assessment relies on the independence
criteria set forth in the AFEP-MEDEF Code, revised in November
2015, as outlined below, as well as on the analysis of the High
Committee for Corporate Governance (Haut Comité de
Gouvernement d’Entreprise) set out in the AFEP-MEDEF Code
Application Guide, revised in December 2015:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

not to be an employee or executive director of the Company,
or an employee or director of its parent company or of a
company consolidated by its parent company, and not having
been in such a position for the previous five years;
not to be an executive director of a company in which the
Company holds a directorship, directly or indirectly, or in
which an employee appointed as such or an executive
director of the Company (currently in office or having held
such office for less than five years) is a director;
not to be a significant customer, supplier, investment banker
or commercial banker of the Company or Group or for which
the Company or the Group represents a material part of their
business (the assessment of the materiality or non-materiality
of the relationship must be discussed by the Board and the
criteria on which this assessment was based must be
explained in the Registration Document);
not to be related by close family ties to a corporate executive
director;
not have been a statutory auditor of the Company within the
previous five years; and
not have been a director of the Company for more than
12 years (upon expiry of the term of office during which the
12-year limit was reached).

The AFEP-MEDEF Code expressly stipulates that the Board can
decide that the implementation of certain defined criteria is not
relevant or induces an interpretation that is particular to the
Company.

At its meeting on February 10, 2016, based on the proposals of
the Governance and Ethics Committee, the Board of Directors
observed that Mr. Desmarest, a director since May 30, 1995 and
Chairman of the Board of Directors between October 22, 2014
and December 18, 2015, was a former executive director within
the meaning of the Code and therefore could not be considered as
independent.

With regard to the criterion of 12 years of service, the Board of
Directors, at its meeting on February 10, 2016 and based on the
proposals of the Governance and Ethics Committee, observed that
as of December 31, 2015, the more than 12 years of service of
Mr. Desmarais, Jr disqualified him from being considered as
independent within the meaning of the AFEP-MEDEF Code.

Item 6 - A. Directors and Senior Management

In addition, the Board deemed that the level of activity between the
Group’s companies and Stena AB, of which Mr. Brock is a
director, which accounted for less than 0.05% of Stena AB’s
sales(1) and less than 0.05% of the Group’s purchases in 2015,
represented neither a material portion of this supplier’s overall
activity nor a material portion of the Group’s purchases. The Board
concluded that Mr. Brock could be considered as being
independent.

The Board also deemed that the level of activity between the
Group’s companies and Engie, of which Ms. Kux is a director,
which accounted for less than 0.05% of Engie’s sales(2) and less
than 0.3% of the Group’s purchases in 2015, represented neither
a material portion of this supplier’s overall activity nor a material
portion of the Group’s purchases. The Board concluded that
Ms. Kux could be considered as being independent.

Accordingly, Mses. Barbizet, Coisne-Roquette, Idrac and Kux and
Messrs. Artus, Brock and Lamarche were deemed to be
independent directors.

The percentage of independent directors on the Board based on
its composition as of December 31, 2015 was 70%(3).

The rate of independence of the Board of Directors is higher than
that recommended by the AFEP-MEDEF Code, which specifies
that at least one-half of Board members at widely held companies
with no controlling shareholders must be independent.

1.5.

Diversity policy of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors places a great deal of importance on its
composition and that of its Committees’ composition. 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 Group’s strategy.

The Governance and Ethics Committee conducts its work within
the context of a formal procedure so as to ensure the
complementarity of the directors’ competencies and the diversity
of their profiles, maintain a rate of independence for the Board as a
whole that is relevant to the Company’s governance structure and
shareholder base, strive for a balanced representation of men and
women on the Board, and promote an appropriate representation
of directors of different nationalities.

As part of an effort that began several years ago, the composition
of the Board of Directors has changed significantly since 2010 to
achieve a more balanced representation of men and women and
an openness to more international profiles.

As of February 10, 2016, the Board of Directors had four women
(36.4%(4) of the directors) and four members of foreign nationality
(36.4%(5) of the directors).

According to the recommendations introduced in April 2010 in the
AFEP-MEDEF Code regarding balanced representation of men
and women on boards, the proportion of women on boards of
directors should be at least 20% within three years of the 2010
Shareholders’ Meeting and should be at least 40% within six years
of that same Shareholders’ Meeting(6). These requirements were
also stipulated in the French law of January 27, 2011 regarding

(point 9.2).
Excluding the director representing employees, in accordance with the recommendations of the AFEP-MEDEF Code (point 6.4).
Excluding the director representing employees.
According to the AFEP-MEDEF Code (point 6.4), directors representing employees are not considered for the purposes of calculating this percentage.

2015 Form 20-F TOTAL S.A.

Item 6 - A. Directors and Senior Management

balanced representation of men and women on boards of
directors and supervisory boards and equal treatment of men and
women. Pursuant to this law, the 20% target must be reached by
the end of the 2014 Shareholders’ Meeting and the 40% target
must be reached by the end of the 2017 Shareholders’ Meeting(1).

Given the appointment proposals presented to the next
Shareholders’ Meeting (refer to “— 1.7. Appointment and renewal
of directorships proposed to the Shareholders’ Meeting of May 24,
2016”, below), if the proposed resolutions are approved, the
composition of the Board of Directors, following the Meeting, will
include six women, i.e., a proportion of 54.54%(2), above the level
of 40% set out by law and in the AFEP-MEDEF Code.

The Board of Directors will continue its reflections on diversifying
its composition in the coming years.

1.6.

Training of directors

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.

The director representing employees also receives 20 hours of
training per year, which covers in-house training at the Company
and/or training in economics offered by an outside company
chosen by the director, after the Board Secretary has accepted
the company and the training program.

Since 2013, the Board of Directors has met once a year at a
production or industrial site. In October 2015, the Board of
Directors met in Abu Dhabi. On-site Board meetings contribute to
the integration of new directors.

Appointment and renewal of directorships proposed
to the Shareholders’ Meeting of May 24, 2016

–

Renewal of the directorship of Mr. Gérard Lamarche

At its meeting of February 10, 2016, and further to a proposal by
the Governance and Ethics Committee, the Board of Directors
decided to propose to the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting of
May 24, 2016 the renewal of the directorship of Mr. Gérard
Lamarche for a 3-year term to expire at the end of the Annual
Shareholders’ Meeting held to approve the 2018 financial
statements. Messrs. Desmarest and Brock have not requested the
renewal of their directorships.

–

Proposal to appoint Ms. Maria Van der Hoeven and
Mr. Jean Lemierre

At its meeting of March 15, 2016, and further to a proposal by the
Governance and Ethics Committee, the Board of Directors
decided to propose to this same Shareholders’ Meeting the
appointment of Ms. Maria Van der Hoeven and Mr. Jean Lemierre
as directors for a 3-year term to expire at the end of the
Shareholders’ Meeting held to approve the 2018 financial
statements.

Ms. Van der Hoeven, former Executive Director of the International
Energy Agency (IEA), will, in particular, bring to the Board her
knowledge and her expertise in the energy sector.

Mr. Lemierre, Chairman of the Board of Directors of BNP Paribas,
will bring to the Board his knowledge and his expertise in the
financial sector at an international level.

The Board considered that Ms. Van der Hoeven and Mr. Lemierre
could be deemed as being independent, after having assessed

their independence based on the independence criteria set forth in
the AFEP-MEDEF Code. Concerning “significant relationships” as
a customer, supplier, investment banker or finance banker,
between a director whose appointment is proposed and the
Company, the Board deemed that the level of activity between
Group companies and BNP Paribas at which Mr. Lemierre is the
Chairman of the Board, which is less than 0.1% of its net banking
income(3) and less than 5% of the Group’s overall assets,
represents neither a significant portion of the overall activity of such
bank nor a material portion of the Group’s external financing.

Proposals to appoint the director representing
employee shareholders

In addition, the term of office of Mr. Keller, the director
representing employee shareholders, is due to expire at the end of

Employees’ compensation

Item 6 - A. Directors and Senior Management

After reviewing the applications, based on the proposal of the
Governance and Ethics Committee, the Board of Directors, at its
meeting on March 15, 2016, decided to approve the resolution
proposing the appointment of Ms. Renata Perycz, nominated by
the Supervisory Boards of the TOTAL ACTIONNARIAT
INTERNATIONAL CAPITALISATION and TOTAL INTERNATIONAL
CAPITAL collective investment funds, to promote the international
representation within the Board, due to the presence of a director
representing the French employees, pursuant to the law of
June 14, 2013.

Following the Shareholders’ Meeting of May 24, 2016, if the
proposed resolutions were approved, the Board of Directors would
have 12 members (as before). The number of women on the
Board would be six (i.e., 54.54%(1)).

In addition to the members of the Executive Committee, this
Committee, chaired by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
is made up of the head of the Group’s main business units, as well
as a limited number of Senior Vice Presidents of functions at the
Group and business segment levels:

for New Energies, the President, New Energies.

The Group’s human resources policy formalized at the end of
2014 applies to all companies in which TOTAL S.A. holds the
majority of voting rights. In terms of compensation, the aim of this
policy is to ensure external competitiveness and internal fairness,
reinforce the link to individual performance, increase employee
share ownership and fulfill the Group’s CSR commitments.

A large majority of employees benefit from laws that guarantee a
minimum wage, and, whenever this is not the case, the Group’s
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 entity’s

competitive environment. Each entity’s positioning relative to its
reference market is approved 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 job level evaluation using a common method
(the Hay method), which associates a salary range to each job
level. Performance of the Group’s 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.

Item 6 - B. Compensation

The compensation structure of the Group’s employees is based on
the following components, depending on the country:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

A base salary, which each year, in addition to a general
salary-raise campaign, is subject to a merit-based salary-raise
campaign 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;
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) and the employee’s contribution to
collective performance evaluated among others according to
HSE targets set for each business segment, which represent
up to 10% of the variable portion. In 2015, 87.3% of the
Group’s 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 2015-2017 applicable to the oil and
petrochemicals(1) (nearly 19,000 employees) sector in France, the
amount available for employee incentive is determined based on
financial parameters (the Group’s return on equity and the
evolution of the net adjusted income in comparison) and the
attainment of safety targets (injury rate and accidental deaths).

The Group also offers employee benefit and pension
programs (health, death and pension) based on a single standard
of coverage at the Group level. These programs, which
supplement those that may be provided by local regulations, allow
each employee to: 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; and arrange for the protection of family members in
case of the employee’s death via insurance that provides for the
payment of a benefit recommended to equal two years’ gross
salary. This program was made available to 91% of the workforce
in 2015 (WHRS scope). These programs are reviewed on a regular
basis and adjusted when necessary.

Employee shareholding, one of the pillars of the Group’s 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

2.

Board members’ compensation

The conditions applicable to Board members’ compensation are
defined by the Board of Directors on the proposal of the
Compensation Committee, subject to the overall maximum
amount of directors’ fees authorized by the Shareholders’ Meeting
of May 17, 2013 and set at €1.4 million per fiscal year.

In 2015, the overall amount of directors’ fees due to the members
of the Board of Directors was €1.21 million, noting that there were
12 directors as of December 31, 2015.

The directors’ fees for fiscal year 2015 are allocated according to a
formula comprised of fixed compensation and variable

employee shareholding, strengthen their sense of belonging to the
Group and give them a stake in the Group’s 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). 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 “— 5. Stock option and free share
grants policy”, below). The last performance share plan approved
by the Board of Directors of TOTAL S.A. in July 2015 ensured a
significant replenishment rate: 39% of plan beneficiaries had not
received performance shares the previous year. More than 10,000
non-senior executive employees were concerned by this plan,
namely 97% of the beneficiaries.

The Group also regularly invites its employees to subscribe to
capital increases reserved for employees. The latest capital
increase was completed in 2015. Like the previous operation in
2013, it included a classic offering and a leveraged offering. For
the first time, this operation included a matching contribution for
the first five shares subscribed aimed at encouraging subscribers
with modest saving capacity. Approximately 42,000 employees in
102 countries decided to participate in this capital increase, which
resulted in the subscription of 10,108,918 shares at a price of
€37.50. This operation was completed, based on the offering
chosen and the employees’ location, via the Shareholder Group
Savings Plan (PEG-A), created in 1999 for this purpose, either
through Company Savings Plans(2) or by subscribing directly for
shares or for American Depositary Shares (ADSs).

Finally, employee savings are also developed via the “TOTAL
Group Savings Plan” (PEGT) and the “Complementary Company
Savings Plan” (PEC), both open to employees of the Group’s
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 number of mutual funds,
including the TOTAL ACTIONNARIAT FRANCE fund that is mostly
invested in TOTAL shares. Employees can make discretionary
contributions to these funds, which the Group’s companies may
supplement under certain conditions (abondement). The Group’s
companies made gross supplementary contributions
(abondement) that totaled €68 million in 2015. A Collective
Retirement Savings Plan (PERCO) set up under the 2004 Group
agreement on provisions for retirement savings is open to
employees of the Group’s French companies covered by the
French Collective Bargaining Agreement for the Petroleum
Industry.

the total amount paid to each director is determined after
taking into consideration the director’s actual presence at
each Board of Directors’ or Committee meeting and, if
appropriate, 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’ fees for a fiscal year are paid on the decision of the
Board of Directors, following a proposal of the Governance and
Ethics Committee, at the beginning of the next fiscal year.

The director representing employee shareholders and the director
representing employees receive directors’ fees according to the
same terms and conditions as any other director.

At its meeting of December 16, 2015, the Board of Directors
maintained the rules for allocating directors’ fees for fiscal year
2016; after deciding, however, to increase the annual fixed portion
for the Chairperson of the Governance and Ethics Committee and
the Chairperson of the Compensation Committee to €25,000 and
set the additional annual fixed portion for the Lead Independent
Director at €15,000.

The table below presents the total compensation (including in-kind
benefits) due and paid to each director and non-executive director
(mandataires sociaux) during the previous two fiscal years (Article
L. 225-102-1 of the French Commercial Code, 1st and 2nd
paragraphs).

Item 6 - B. Compensation

Messrs. Marc Blanc and Charles Keller participate in the internal
defined contribution pension plan applicable to all TOTAL S.A.
employees, known as RECOSUP (Re´ gime collectif et obligatoire de
retraite supple´ mentaire a` cotisations de´ finies), covered by Article
L. 242-1 of the French Social Security Code. The Company’s
commitment is limited to its share of the payment to the insurance
company that manages the plan. For fiscal year 2015, this pension
plan represented a booked expense to TOTAL S.A. in favor of
Messrs. Marc Blanc and Charles Keller of €761 and €920,
respectively.
Mr. Marc Blanc, who joined the Elf Aquitaine Group in 1980, also
participates in a supplementary defined benefit pension plan,
known as CREA, set up and financed by the Company. This plan
covers former employees of the Elf Aquitaine Group and was
closed on December 31, 1994. It does not require a presence
condition within the Group at the time of retirement. Commitments
made by the Group in favor of Mr. Marc Blanc under this plan
represent, at December 31, 2015, a gross annual pension,
payable to his spouse within a limit of 60% in case of death of the
beneficiary, estimated at €4,848. The Group’s commitments under
the CREA plan are outsourced to an insurance company for
almost their entire amount, the remaining balance being evaluated
on an annual basis and adjusted through a provision in the
accounts. The amount of these commitments of the Group at
December 31, 2015 in favor of Mr. Marc Blanc is
€129.4 thousand. This amount represents the gross value of the
Group’s commitments to this beneficiary based on the gross
annual pension estimated as of December 31, 2015, as well as a
statistical life expectancy of the beneficiary and his spouse.
Over the past two years, the directors currently in office have not
received any compensation or in-kind benefits from companies
controlled by TOTAL S.A.
Moreover, there is no service contract linking a director to
TOTAL S.A. or any of its controlled companies that provide for
benefits under such contract.

Executive directors’ compensation

3.1.

General principles for determining the compensation of the executive directors

The compensation policy for the executive directors is approved and reviewed every year by the Board of Directors on the proposal of the
Compensation Committee. It is determined in accordance with the principles and rules approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting on
February 9, 2012, which have not since been amended and are set out below.

Based on a proposal by the Compensation Committee, the Board adopted the following principles for determining the compensation and
other benefits of the executive directors:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)
(cid:129)

Compensation and benefits for the executive directors are set by the Board of Directors after considering proposals from the
Compensation Committee. Such compensation must be reasonable and fair, in a context that values both teamwork and motivation
within the Company. Compensation for the executive directors is related to market practice, work performed, results obtained and
responsibilities held.
Compensation for the executive directors includes both a fixed portion and a variable portion. The fixed portion is reviewed at least every
two years.
The amount of variable compensation is reviewed each year and may not exceed a stated percentage of fixed compensation. Variable
compensation is determined based on pre-defined quantitative and qualitative criteria that are periodically reviewed by the Board of
Directors. Quantitative criteria are limited in number, objective, measurable and adapted to the Company’s strategy.
Variable compensation is designed to reward short-term performance and progress towards medium-term objectives. The
compensation is determined in line with the annual assessment of the performance of the executive directors and the Company’s
medium-term strategy.
The Board of Directors monitors the evolution of the fixed and variable portions of the compensation of the executive directors over
several years and in light of the Company’s performance.
The Group does not have a specific pension plan for the executive directors. They are eligible for retirement benefits and pensions plans
available to certain employee categories in the Group under conditions determined by the Board.
Stock options and performance shares are designed to align the long-term interests of the executive directors with those of the
shareholders. The allocation of options and performance shares to the executive directors is examined in light of all forms of
compensation for each person. The exercise price for stock options awarded is not discounted compared with the market price, at the
time of the grant, for the underlying share.
Stock options and performance shares are awarded at regular intervals to prevent any opportunistic behavior.
The exercise of options and the definitive allocation of performance shares to which the executive directors are entitled are subject to
performance criteria that must be met over several years.
The Board puts in place restrictions on the transfer of a portion of shares held upon the exercise of options and the definitive allocation
of performance shares, applicable to the executive directors until the end of their term of office.
The executive directors may not 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 the 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
comprising their compensation.

3.2.

Compensation of the Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer

The compensation structure for Mr. Pouyanné(1) consists of a fixed
compensation, an annual variable compensation calculated on the
basis of predefined criteria and a long-term component in the form
of the allocation of performance shares.

Performance shares are allocated as part of plans that are not
specific to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and which are
structured over a 5-year term with a 3-year vesting period followed
by a mandatory 2-year holding period. The final grant of shares is
subject to a presence condition and performance conditions which
are assessed following the 3-year vesting period.

Mr. Pouyanné does not receive any multi-year or deferred variable
compensation or any extraordinary compensation. He does not
receive directors’ fees as director of the Group’s companies.

In addition, the Company is committed to paying Mr. Pouyanné a
retirement benefit and a termination payment in case of forced
departure owing to a change of control or strategy. The Chief
Executive Officer is also entitled to the pension plans in place
within the Group. In line with the principles of the AFEP-MEDEF
Code, the benefit accruing from participation in the pension plans
has been taken into consideration when determining the
compensation policy applicable to the Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer. These commitments, which are subject to
performance conditions, are described in “— 3.2.3. Commitments
made by the Company to the Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer”, below.

In addition, Mr. Pouyanné has the use of a company car and
benefits from the life insurance plans and the health care plan that
are described in more detail in “— 3.2.3. Commitments made by
the Company to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer”, below.

Concerning the personal contribution, the Board of Directors
considered that the objectives that had been set were fully

managerial transition, increase of hydrocarbon production,
and successful strategic negotiations with producing
countries. The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s
personal contribution was therefore set at 33% of the fixed
compensation (against a maximum of 33%).

In the light of the level of achievement of the targets and the
attained performance, the Board of Directors has set the variable
portion of Mr. Pouyanné’s compensation in respect of fiscal year
2015 at 151.2% of his fixed compensation.

for the period of January 1, 2015 to December 18, 2015 and his
activities as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer from
December 19 to December 31, 2015.

This consists of a base salary (fixed portion) of €1,200,000 and a
variable portion (paid in 2016) of €1,814,400, corresponding to
151.2% of his fixed compensation and calculated as follows.

At its meeting on February 10, 2016, the Board of Directors
examined the extent to which the different performance criteria
had been achieved (economic parameters, HSE/CSR parameter
and the parameter relating to the reduction in operating costs), as
well as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s personal
contribution assessed on the basis of the three objective and
operational target criteria concerning the Group’s business
segments as pre-determined by the Board of Directors (successful
managerial transition, achievement of production and reserve
targets, and successful strategic negotiations with producing
countries).

(cid:129)

Concerning the economic parameters, the Board of Directors
noted that the Group’s performance, in comparison with its
main competitors (in terms of earnings per share and
adjusted net income), improved in 2015 compared to 2014,
but the return on equity (ROE) declined compared to 2014,
which led the Board of Directors to set the part allocated for
the different economic parameters at 88.2% of the fixed
compensation for fiscal year 2015 (against a maximum of
100%).

In terms of the HSE/CSR criterion, the Board of Directors
noted that the objectives had been mostly achieved, which
led to the portion in respect to this criterion being set at 14%
of the fixed compensation (against a maximum of 16%).

Concerning the parameter relating to the reduction in
operating costs, the Board of Directors noted that the
objective measured in terms of impact on the Group’s
operating result had been fully achieved, which led to the

In addition, Mr. Pouyanné had the use in 2015 of a company car
and benefited from the life insurance plans and the health care
plan described in detail in “— 3.2.3. Commitments made by the
Company to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer”, below.
These benefits were booked in the amount of €36,390 in the
Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2015.

Mr. Pouyanné did not benefit from any other forms of
compensation due or granted for fiscal year 2015. No multi-year or
deferred variable compensation or any extraordinary compensation
was awarded for fiscal year 2015.

Grant of performance shares

At its meeting of July 28, 2015, the Board of Directors, on the
proposal of the Compensation Committee and pursuant to the
authorization of the Company’s Combined Shareholders’ Meeting
of May 16, 2014 (sixteenth resolution), decided to grant
Mr. Pouyanné, who was at that time Chief Executive Officer of
TOTAL S.A., 48,000 existing shares of the Company
(corresponding to 0.002% of the share capital) subject to the
conditions set out below. These shares were awarded as part of a
broader share grant plan approved by the Board of Directors on
July 28, 2015 relating to 0.20% of the share capital for more than
10,000 beneficiaries.

The definitive award of the totality of the shares is subject to the
beneficiary’s continued presence within the Group during the
vesting period and to performance conditions, according to which
40% of the awarded shares are subject to the Group’s return on
equity (ROE) and return on average capital employed (ROACE)
during the fiscal years 2015, 2016 and 2017 (internal criteria) and
60% are dependent on a performance condition that is based on
adjusted net income (ANI) (external criterion).

The number of performance shares definitively awarded to
Mr. Pouyanné will therefore depend, with regard to 20% of the
awarded performance shares, on the average ROE, and, with
regard to a further 20%, on the average ROACE. The ROE and
ROACE values adopted for the assessment of attainment of the
performance conditions shall be those published by the Group in
the first quarter of 2016, the first quarter of 2017 and the first
quarter of 2018, based on the Group’s balance sheet and
consolidated statement of income for fiscal years 2015, 2016 and
2017.

In the case of the ROE criterion, the acquisition rate will be zero if
the average ROE is less than 6.5%, will vary on a straight-line basis
from 0% to 50% if the average ROE is greater than or equal to
6.5% and less than or equal to 9.5%, will vary on a straight-line
basis from 50% to 100% if the average ROE is greater than or
equal to 9.5% and less than or equal to 14.5%, and will be equal
to 100% if the average ROE is greater than 14.5%.

In the case of the ROACE criterion, the acquisition rate will be zero
if the average ROACE is less than 6.5%, will vary on a straight-line
basis from 0% to 50% if the average ROACE is greater than or
equal to 6.5% and less than or equal to 9%, will vary on a straight-
line basis from 50% to 100% if the average ROACE is greater than
or equal to 9% and less than or equal to 13%, and will be equal to
100% if the average ROACE is greater than 13%.

The number of performance shares definitively awarded to
Mr. Pouyanné will also depend, for 60% of the awarded performance
shares, on a performance condition defined in relation to changes in
the Group’s published 3-yearly average ANI compared to that of a set
of four other international oil companies(1) during the three years of
acquisition (2015, 2016 and 2017).

In the case of the ANI criterion, by comparison, the acquisition rate
will be zero if the relative difference in this change is less than -
12%, will be equal to 60% if the relative difference in this change is
zero and will be equal to 100% if the relative difference in this
change is greater than 12%, with intermediate values between
these anchor points being calculated on a straight-line basis.

In accordance with the provisions of the French Commercial Code,
Mr. Pouyanné will be required, until the end of his functions, to
retain in the form of registered shares 50% of the gains on the
acquired shares net of tax and national insurance contributions on
the awarded shares. When Mr. Pouyanné holds a volume of
shares(2) representing five times the fixed portion of his gross
annual compensation, this percentage will be equal to 10%. If this
condition is no longer fulfilled, the 50% holding requirement stated
above will again apply. Given this holding requirement, the
availability of the performance shares is not dependent on the
purchase of further shares in the Company.

In addition, the Board of Directors has noted that, pursuant to the
Board of Directors’ rules of procedure applicable to all directors,
the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer may not hedge the
shares of the Company or any related financial instruments and
has taken note of Mr. Pouyanné’s commitment to abstain from any
such hedging operations with regard to the awarded performance
shares.

Subject to the specific provisions set out above, the award of
performance shares to Mr. Pouyanné is subject to the same
provisions as those that apply to the other beneficiaries of the
performance share plan approved by the Board at its meeting of

Item 6 - B. Compensation

July 28, 2015. In particular, these provisions require that the
shares that are definitively awarded following the 3-year vesting
period shall, following confirmation of fulfillment of the presence
and performance conditions, be automatically recorded as pure
registered shares on the date of the start of the 2-year holding
period and will remain non-transferable and unavailable through to
the end of the holding period.

3.2.2.

Compensation policy for the Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer for fiscal year 2016

The Board of Directors defined the compensation elements for the
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for fiscal year 2016 during its
meeting on December 16, 2015, as follows:

–

Base salary

In the light of his appointment as Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, the Board of Directors set Mr. Pouyanné’s base salary (fixed
compensation) at €1,400,000 with effect from January 1, 2016.

The positioning of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s fixed
compensation was set in relation to the responsibilities held and
taking account of the compensation practices for executive
directors of comparable companies (in particular, CAC 40
companies and issuers operating in the energy sectors).

–

Annual variable portion

The Board of Directors also decided to fix the maximum amount of the
variable portion potentially payable to the Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer in respect of fiscal year 2016 at 180% of his base salary. This
ceiling was fixed in the light of the levels adopted by a reference sample
including companies operating in the energy sectors.

The formula used to calculate the variable portion of the Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer’s compensation for fiscal year 2016
involves parameters that refer to quantitative targets that reflect the
Group’s performance as well as the Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer’s personal contribution that permits a qualitative
assessment of his management.

The Board of Directors has defined the respective weightings of
the various criteria used to calculate the variable portion of the
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s compensation for fiscal
year 2016 as follows:

by the Group (in accordance with the accounting standards
applicable at the time of the closure of the accounts for the
fiscal years in question) and compared with the ANI values of
peers(1) drawn up on the basis of estimates calculated by a
group of leading financial analysts.

The expected levels of attainment of the quantitative targets for
determining the variable portion of the Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer’s compensation have been clearly defined but
have not been made public for reasons of confidentiality.

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s personal contribution,
which may represent a maximum of 40% of the base salary, is
evaluated based on the following criteria:

CSR performance, accounting for a maximum of 10%,
measured in particular in the light of the achievement of
targets relating to CO2 emissions, energy efficiency, and the
Group’s position in the rankings published by non-financial
rating agencies.

3.2.3.

Commitments made by the Company to the
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (Article L.
225-102-1, paragraph 3, of the French
Commercial Code)

The commitments made to the Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer with regard to pension plans, retirement benefits and the
termination payment to be paid in the event of a forced departure
owing to a change of control or strategy, as well as the life
insurance and health care plans set out below, were approved by
the Board of Directors on December 16, 2015. They will be
presented to the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting of May 24, 2016 in
accordance with the provisions of Article L. 225-42-1 of the
French Commercial Code.

It should be noted that Mr. Pouyanné was already entitled to all
these provisions when he was an employee of the Company,
except for the commitment to be granted a termination payment in

(1)

ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, BP and Chevron.

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

case of forced departure owing to a change of control or strategy.
It should also be noted that Mr. Pouyanné joined the Group on
January 1, 1997, and terminated the employment contract that
previously bound him to TOTAL S.A. by resignation when he was
appointed Chief Executive Officer on October 22, 2014.

Pension plans

Pursuant to law, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is
eligible for the basic French social security pension and for pension
benefits under the government-sponsored supplementary pension
plans ARRCO (Association pour le régime de retraite
complémentaire des salariés) and AGIRC (Association générale
des institutions de retraite des cadres).

He also participates in the internal defined contribution pension
plan applicable to all TOTAL S.A. employees, known as RECOSUP
(Re´ gime collectif et obligatoire de retraite supple´ mentaire a`
cotisations de´ finies), covered by Article L. 242-1 of the French
Social Security Code. The Company’s commitment is limited to its
share of the payment to the insurance company that manages the
plan. For fiscal year 2015, this pension plan represented a booked
expense to the Company in favor of the Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of €2,282.

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, which was approved by the Board of Directors at
its meeting on March 13, 2001, for which management is
outsourced to two insurance companies and which is effective as
of January 1, 2012. This plan is applicable to all employees of
TOTAL S.A. whose annual compensation is greater than eight
times the ceiling for calculating French social security contributions
(Plafond annuel de la sécurité sociale, PASS), set at €38,616 for
2016, and above which there is no conventional pension plan.

To be eligible for this supplementary pension plan, participants
must have a length of service of at least five years and must still be
employed at the time of their retirement. However, in the event of a
beneficiary leaving the Company at the Company’s initiative as of
the age of 55 or in the event of invalidity, then the beneficiary’s
rights will be maintained provided that the 5-year length of service
condition is met. The length of service acquired by Mr. Pouyanné
as a result of his previous salaried duties within the Group
exercised as of January 1, 1997 has been maintained for the
benefit of this plan. The compensation taken into account to
calculate the supplementary pension is the retiree’s last 3-year
average gross compensation (fixed and variable portions). 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 up to a maximum of
20 years, subject to the performance condition set out below
applicable to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

The sum of the annual supplementary pension plan benefits and other
pension plan benefits (other than those constituted individually and on
a voluntary basis) may not exceed 45% of the average gross
compensation (fixed and variable portions) for 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 up to 60%
of the amount will be paid to beneficiaries in the event of death
after retirement.

To ensure that the acquisition of additional pension rights under
this defined benefit pension plan is subject to performance
conditions to be defined pursuant to the provisions of Article L.
225-42-1 of the French Commercial Code amended by law
No. 2015-990 of August 6, 2015, the Board of Directors noted the
existence of the Chief Executive Officer’s pension rights under the
abovementioned pension plan immediately before his appointment
as Chairman, from the period from January 1, 1997 to
December 18, 2015.

The conditional rights awarded for the period from January 1, 1997
to December 18, 2015 (inclusive)(1) acquired free of performance
conditions correspond to a substitution rate equal to 34.14%(2) in
respect of the portion of the reference compensation contained
between 8 and 40 times the PASS , and a substitution rate of
18.96%(3) in respect of the portion of the reference compensation
contained between 40 and 60 times the PASS.

The conditional rights awarded for the period from December 19,
2015 to December 31, 2016 that are subject to the performance
condition described below correspond to a maximum substitution
rate equal to 1.86%(4) in respect of the portion of the reference
compensation contained between 8 and 40 times the PASS , and
a substitution rate of 1.04%(5) in respect of the portion of the
reference compensation contained between 40 and 60 times the
PASS.

Pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 225-42-1 of the French
Commercial Code, the Board of Directors decided that the
acquisition of these conditional rights for the period from
December 19, 2015 to December 31, 2016 is to be subject to a
performance-related condition applicable to the beneficiary, which
shall be considered to be fulfilled if the variable portion of the
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s compensation paid in
2017 in respect of fiscal year 2016 reaches 100% of the base
salary due in respect of fiscal year 2016. Should the variable
portion not reach 100% of the base salary, the awarded rights will
be calculated on a prorata basis.

The commitments made by TOTAL S.A. in favor of the Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer with regard to the supplementary
defined benefit and similar pension plans therefore represent, at
December 31, 2015, a gross annual pension estimated at
€560,862, based on the length of service acquired as of
December 31, 2015, i.e., 18.61% of Mr. Pouyanné’s gross annual
compensation, consisting of the annual fixed portion for 2015
(i.e., €1,200,000) and the variable portion paid in 2016 in respect
of fiscal year 2015 (i.e., €1,814,000).

The commitments of TOTAL S.A. related to these supplementary
defined benefit and similar plans (including the retirement benefit) are
outsourced to insurance companies for almost their entire amount,
the remaining balance being evaluated on an annual basis and
adjusted through a provision in the accounts. The Group’s
commitments amount, as of December 31, 2015, to €14.1 million for
the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (€26.5 million for the
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, non-executive directors and
the concerned former non-executive directors). These amounts

Item 6 - B. Compensation

represent the gross value of the commitments of TOTAL S.A. to these
beneficiaries based on the gross annual pensions estimated as of
December 31, 2015 as well as a statistical life expectancy of the
beneficiaries.

The sum of all the pension plans in which Mr. Pouyanné
participates would, as of December 31, 2015, represent a gross
annual retirement pension estimated at €647,407, based on the
length of service acquired as of December 31, 2015, i.e., 21.48%
of Mr. Pouyanné’s gross annual compensation defined above
(fixed annual portion for 2015 and variable portion paid in 2016 in
respect of fiscal year 2015).

In line with the principles used to determine the compensation of
the executive directors as set out in the AFEP-MEDEF Code which
the Company uses as a reference, the Board of Directors has
taken account of the advantage conferred through participation in
the pension plans when determining the Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer’s compensation.

–

Retirement benefit

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 amounts to
25% of the annual compensation (both fixed and variable portions)
of the 12-month period preceding retirement.

Pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 225-42-1 of the French
Commercial Code, receipt of this retirement benefit is contingent
upon a performance-related condition applicable to the
beneficiary, which is deemed to be fulfilled if at least two of the
following criteria are met:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

the average ROE (return on equity) over the three years
preceding the year in which the Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer retires is at least 10%;

the average 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

growth in TOTAL’s oil and gas production is greater than or
equal to the average of the rates of growth of four oil
companies(6) during the three years preceding the year in
which the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer retires.

The retirement benefit cannot be combined with the termination
payment described below.

–

Termination payment

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is entitled to a benefit
equal to two years’ gross compensation in the event of a forced
departure owing to a change of control or strategy. The calculation
is based on the gross compensation (both fixed and variable
portions) for the 12-month period preceding the date of
termination or non-renewal of his term of office.

The termination payment will only be paid in the event of forced
departure owing to a change of control or strategy. It will not be
due in cases 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.

Life insurance and health care plans

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is covered by the life
insurance plans described below, which are taken out from various
life insurance companies.

(cid:129)

An “incapacity, disability, life insurance” plan applicable to all
employees, partially at the expense of the Company, that
provides for two options in the event of the death of a married
employee: either the payment of a sum equal to five times the
annual compensation, subject to a maximum of 16 times the
PASS (and therefore corresponding to a maximum of
€3,089,280 in 2016). This amount is increased if there is a
dependent child or children; alternatively, the beneficiary may

receive three times the annual compensation, subject to a
maximum of 16 times the PASS, complemented by a spouse’s
pension and education allowance.

A second “disability and life insurance” plan, entirely at the
expense of the Company, applicable to senior executives
whose annual gross compensation is greater than 16 times
the PASS. This contract, which was signed on October 17,
2002, guarantees beneficiaries the payment, in the event of
death, of an amount corresponding to two years of
compensation, which is increased to three years in the event
of accidental death. In the event of accidental permanent
disability, the beneficiary receives a payment proportional to
the degree of disability. The payment made in the event of
death is increased by 15% for each dependent child.

Any payment due under the terms of this contract is paid following
deduction of any amount paid under the above-mentioned plan
applicable to all employees.

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer also benefits from a
health care plan available to all employees.

2.3.

Compensation of the former Chairman of the Board

For fiscal year 2015, Mr. Desmarest did not receive any
compensation in his role as Chairman of the Board for the period
from January 1 to December 18, 2015, other than his directors’
fees. In relation to the previous duties that he performed within the
Group until May 21, 2010, Mr. Desmarest receives a retirement
pension from the pension plans set up by the Company.

Executive officers’ compensation

In 2015, the aggregate amount paid directly or indirectly by the
French and foreign Group companies as compensation to the
executive officers of TOTAL(1) in office as of December 31, 2015
(12 individuals) was €11.34 million (compared to €10.44 million in
2014 with a comparable scope), including €7.56 million paid to the
members of the Executive Committee (6 individuals). Variable
compensation accounted for 40.97% of the aggregate amount of
€11.34 million paid to the executive officers.

5.

Stock option and free share grants policy

5.1.

General policy

In addition to its policy to develop employee shareholding, TOTAL
S.A. is pursuing a policy to associate employees and senior
executives with the Group’s future results. This policy consists of
awarding free performance shares each year. TOTAL S.A. may
also award stock options, but no plan has been put in place since
September 14, 2011.

Stock options and performance share grants put in place by
TOTAL S.A. concern only TOTAL shares. No options for or grants
of performance shares of any of the Group’s listed subsidiaries are
awarded by TOTAL S.A.

All grants are approved by the Board of Directors, based on the
proposal of the Compensation Committee. For each plan, the
Compensation Committee recommends a list of beneficiaries, the
conditions and the number of options or shares awarded to each
beneficiary. The Board of Directors then gives final approval for this
list and the grant conditions.

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

Grants of performance shares under selective plans only
become definitive at the end of a vesting period that has been
extended to three years for shares granted as from July 25,
2013, subject to fulfillment of presence and performance
conditions. At the end of this vesting period, and provided
that the conditions set are met, the performance shares are
definitively awarded to the beneficiaries, who must then hold
them for at least two years (holding period). For beneficiaries
employed by non-French subsidiaries on the grant date, the
vesting period for performance shares may be increased to
four years; in such cases, there is no mandatory holding
period. As of 2011, all performance shares granted to senior
executives are subject to performance conditions.
Stock options have a term of eight years, with an exercise
price set at the average of the closing TOTAL share prices on
Euronext Paris during the 20 trading days prior to the grant
date, without any discount. The exercise of the options is
subject to a presence condition and performance conditions,
based on the return on equity (ROE) of the Group, which vary
depending on the plan and beneficiary category. Since 2011,
all options granted are subject to performance conditions. For
options to be awarded pursuant to the authorization given by
the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of May 17, 2013
(eleventh resolution), performance conditions will be assessed
over a minimum period of three consecutive fiscal years. For

Item 6 - B. Compensation

The following individuals were executive officers of the Group as of
December 31, 2015 (12 individuals compared to 29 at year-end
2014): Patrick Pouyanné(2); Philippe Boisseau(3); Arnaud Breuillac(3);
Jean-Jacques Guilbaud(3); Patrick de La Chevardière(3); Philippe
Sauquet(3); Jacques-Emmanuel Saulnier; François Viaud; Maarten
Scholten; Bernadette Spinoy; Helle Kristoffersen; and Humbert de
Wendel.

earlier option plans, and subject to the applicable presence
and performance conditions being met, options may be
exercised only at the end of an initial 2-year vesting period
and the shares resulting from the exercise may only be
disposed of at the end of a second 2-year holding period.
Moreover, for the 2007 to 2011 option plans, the shares
resulting from the exercise of options by beneficiaries
employed by non-French subsidiaries on the grant date may
be disposed of or converted to bearer form at the end of the
first 2-year vesting period.

Performance share and stock option grants to the executive
directors (dirigeants mandataires sociaux) in office at the time of
the decision are subject to a presence condition within the Group
and to specific performance conditions set by the Board of
Directors, on the proposal of the Compensation Committee.

The award of performance shares or stock options is used to
extend the Group-wide policy of developing employee
shareholding, based on individual performance assessments at the
time of each plan.

5.2.

Follow up of the grants to executive directors

5.2.1.

Stock options

No stock options have been awarded since September 14, 2011.
Until this date, the Company’s executive directors in office at the
time of the decision were awarded stock options as part of
broader share grant plans approved by the Board of Directors for
certain Group employees and senior executives. Options granted
to the executive directors were governed by the same provisions
that apply to other beneficiaries of grant plans.

For options awarded between 2007 and 2011, the Board of
Directors has made the exercise of options awarded to the
executive directors contingent upon a presence condition and
performance conditions based on the Group’s ROE and ROACE.
The acquisition rate of performance-related options under the
2009, 2010 and 2011 plans was 100%. It had been 60% for the
2008 plan.

All the options awarded to Mr. Pouyanné outstanding at
December 31, 2015 represented 0.003% of the potential share
capital of the Company(4) at that date. Mr. Desmarest holds no
TOTAL stock options as of December 31, 2015.

For the 2007, 2008 and 2009 share subscription option plans, the Board of Directors decided that for each beneficiary of more than 25,000

Governance structure

–

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 therefore held the position of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of TOTAL S.A.

Following the death of TOTAL’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. de Margerie, the Board of Directors had decided, at its
meeting on October 22, 2014, to separate the functions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in order to ensure the greatest possible
continuity in the transition of the General Management. The Board of Directors had therefore appointed Mr. Pouyanné as Chief Executive
Officer for a term of office expiring at the end of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting called in 2017(1) to approve the 2016 financial statements,
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
limits 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.

The decision to reunify 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 and in the best interests of the Company. The Board of Directors had deemed that a unified management
form was most appropriate to the Group’s 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 for the Group of having a unified management in strategic negotiations with
governments and the Group’s partners.

The Board also wanted the Group’s governance structure to ensure 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 case of the combination of the positions of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. The Lead Independent
Director’s duties, resources and rights are described in the rules of procedure of the Board of Directors.

The balance of powers within the Company’s 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, competencies and expertise (refer to “— A.1.1.
Composition of the Board of Directors”, above).

In addition, the Board’s rules of procedure state that investments and divestments considered by the Group exceeding 3% of equity must be
approved by the Board, which is also informed of any significant events related to the Company’s operations, particularly investments and
divestments in amounts exceeding 1% of equity.

Finally, the Company’s bylaws also 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
depending on the urgency, by the Chairman, a Vice Chairman, or by a third of its members, at any time and as often as required to ensure
the best interests of the Company. The rules of procedure of the Board of Directors also state that each director must notify the Board of
Directors of any existing or potential conflict of interest with the Company or any Group company and must refrain from participating in the
vote related to the corresponding resolution as well as in any discussion preceding such vote.

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.

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 below.

1.2.

Working procedures of the Board of Directors

The working procedures of the Board of Directors are set out in its rules of procedure, which set forth the mission of the Board of Directors
and the rules related to the organization of its work. The Board’s 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 September 15, 2009, the date on which the Board of
Directors decided to appoint him to this position.

As of November 4, 2014, date of the appointment of the director representing employees on the Board of Directors, a member of the Central
Works Council attends Board meetings in an advisory capacity, pursuant to Article L. 2323-65 of the French Labor Code.

The rules of procedure of the Board of Directors are reviewed on a regular basis 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 being made to 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 management positions and to define his or her duties.

The latest unabridged version of the rules of procedure of the Board of Directors, approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting on
December 16, 2015, is provided below. It is also available on the Company’s website under “Our Group/Governance”.

The Board of Directors of TOTAL S.A.(1) approved the following Rules of Procedure.

1. ROLE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors is a collegial body that determines the strategic direction of the Company and supervises the implementation of
this vision. With the exception of the powers and authority expressly reserved for shareholders and within the limits of the Company’s legal
purpose, the Board may address any issue related to the Company’s operation and make any decision concerning the matters falling
within its purview. Within this framework, the Board’s duties and responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

appointing the executive directors(2) and supervising the handling of their responsibilities;
defining the Company’s strategic orientation and, more generally, that of the Group;
approving investments or divestments being considered by the Group that exceed 3% of shareholders’ equity;
reviewing information on significant events related to the Company’s operations, in particular for investments and divestments
involving amounts exceeding 1% of shareholders’ equity;
conducting any audits and investigations it deems appropriate. In particular, the Board, with the assistance of the Audit Committee,
ensures that:
(cid:129)

authority has been properly defined and that the various corporate bodies of the Company make proper use of their powers and
responsibilities,
no individual is authorized to commit to pay or to make payments, on behalf of the Company, without proper supervision and
control,
the internal control function operates properly and the statutory auditors are able to perform their mission satisfactorily, and
the Committees it has created duly perform their responsibilities;

(cid:129)
(cid:129)
ensuring the quality of the information provided to shareholders and financial markets through the financial statements that it
approves as well as the annual reports, or when major transactions are conducted;
convening and setting the agenda for Shareholders’ Meetings or meetings of bond holders; and
preparing on an annual basis the list of directors it deems to be independent according to generally accepted corporate governance
criteria.
appointing a Lead Independent Director under the conditions set out in article 7, when the Chairman of the Board of Directors is also
the Chief Executive Officer pursuant to a decision by the Board of Directors.

2. OBLIGATIONS OF THE DIRECTORS OF TOTAL S.A.

Before accepting a directorship, all candidates receive a copy of TOTAL S.A.’s bylaws and these rules of procedure. They must ensure
that they have broad knowledge of the general and particular obligations related to their duty, especially the laws and regulations
governing directorships in French limited liability companies (sociétés anonymes) whose shares are listed in one or several regulated
markets. They must also ensure that they are familiar with the guidelines set out in the Corporate Governance Code to which the
Company refers.

Accepting a directorship creates an obligation to comply with applicable regulations relating in particular to the functioning of the Board of
Directors, and with the ethical rules of professional conduct for directors as described in the Corporate Governance Code to which the
Company refers. It also creates an obligation to comply with these rules of procedure and to uphold the Group’s values as described in its
Code of Conduct.

When directors participate in and vote at meetings of the Board of Directors, they are required to represent all of the Company’s
shareholders and to act in the interest of the Company as a whole.

2.1. INDEPENDENCE OF JUDGMENT

Directors undertake to maintain, in all circumstances, the independence of their analysis, judgment, decision-making and actions as well
as not to be unduly influenced, directly or indirectly, by other directors, particular groups of shareholders, creditors, suppliers or, more
generally, any third party.

2.2. OTHER DIRECTORSHIPS OR FUNCTIONS

Directors must keep the Board of Directors informed of any position they hold on the management team, board of directors or supervisory
board of any other company, whether French or foreign, listed or unlisted. This includes any positions as a non-voting member (censeur)
of a board. To this end, directors expressly undertake to promptly notify the Chairman of the Board of Directors, and the Lead
Independent Director if one has been appointed, of any changes to the positions held, for any reason, whether appointment, resignation,
termination or non-renewal.

(1)

(2)

TOTAL S.A. is referred to in these rules of procedure as the “Company” and collectively with all its direct and indirect subsidiaries as the “Group”.
The term “executive director” refers to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, if the Chairman of the Board of Directors is also responsible for the management of the
Company; the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer, if the two roles are carried out separately; and, where applicable, any Deputy Chief
Executive Officers or Chief Operating Officers, depending on the organizational structure adopted by the Board of Directors.

Item 6 - C. Board Practices and Corporate Governance

2.3. PARTICIPATION IN THE BOARD’S WORK

Directors undertake to devote the amount of time required to duly consider the information they are given and otherwise prepare for
meetings of the Board of Directors and of the Committees of the Board of Directors on which they sit. They may request from the
executive directors any additional information they deem necessary or useful to their duties. If they consider it necessary, they may request
training on the Company’s specificities, businesses and industry sector, and any other training that may be of use to the effective exercise
of their duties as directors.

Unless unable, in which case the Chairman of the Board shall be provided advance notice, directors are to attend all meetings of the
Board of Directors, meetings of Committees of the Board of Directors on which they serve and Shareholders’ Meetings.

The Chairman of the Board ensures that directors receive all relevant information concerning the Company, including that of a negative
nature, particularly analyst reports, press releases and the most important media articles.

2.4. CONFIDENTIALITY

Directors and any other person who attends all or part of any meeting of the Board of Directors or its Committees are under the strict
obligation not to disclose any details of the proceedings.

All documents reviewed at meetings of the Board of Directors, as well as information conveyed prior to or during the meetings, are strictly
confidential.

With respect to all non-public information acquired during the exercise of their functions, directors are bound by professional secrecy not
to divulge such information to employees of the Group or to outside parties. This obligation goes beyond the mere duty of discretion
provided for by law.

Directors must not use confidential information obtained prior to or during meetings for their own personal benefit or for the benefit of
anyone else, for whatever reason. They must take all necessary steps to ensure that the information remains confidential. Confidentiality
and privacy are lifted when such information is made publicly available by the Company.

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, and they must refrain from participating in the vote relating to the
corresponding resolution as well as in any discussion 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.

2.6. DUTY OF EXPRESSION

Directors undertake to clearly express their opposition if they deem a decision being considered by the Board of Directors is contrary to
the Company’s corporate interest and they must endeavor to convince the Board of Directors of the pertinence of their position.

2.7. TRANSACTIONS IN THE COMPANY’S SECURITIES AND STOCK EXCHANGE RULES

While in office, directors are required to hold the minimum number of registered shares of the Company as set by the bylaws.

Generally speaking, directors must act with the highest degree of prudence and vigilance when completing any personal transaction
involving the financial instruments of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates that are listed or that issue listed financial instruments.

To that end, directors must comply with the following requirements:

1.

Any shares or ADRs of TOTAL S.A. or its listed subsidiaries are to be held in registered form, either with the Company or its agent,
or as administered registered shares with a French broker (or North American broker for ADRs), whose contact details are
communicated by the director to the Secretary of the Board of Directors.

2. 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.
Any transaction in the Company’s financial instruments (shares, ADRs or related financial instruments) is strictly prohibited during
the thirty calendar days preceding the publication by the Company of its periodic results (quarterly, half-year or annual) as well as
on the day of any such announcement.

3.

4. Moreover, directors shall comply, where applicable, with the provisions of Article L. 255-197-1 of the French Commercial Code,

which stipulates that free shares may not be sold:
(cid:129)

(cid:129)

during the ten trading days preceding and the three trading days following the date on which the Consolidated Financial
Statements or, failing that, the annual financial statements, are made public; and
during the period from the date on which the Company’s corporate bodies become aware of information that, if it were made
public, could have a significant impact on the Company’s share price, until ten trading days after such information is made
public.

reviewing the procedure for booking the Group’s proved
reserves.

Organization of activities

The Committee meets at least seven times each year: each
quarter to review the statutory financial statements of TOTAL S.A.
as parent company and the annual and quarterly Consolidated
Financial Statements, and at least three other times a year 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 Group’s Chief Financial Officer
presents the Consolidated Financial Statements and the statutory
financial statements of TOTAL S.A. as parent company, as well as
the Group’s financial position and, in particular, its liquidity, cash
flow and debt situation. A memo describing the Company’s risk
exposure and off-balance sheet commitments is communicated to
the Audit 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, 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 and updates to them are
presented regularly to the Audit 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 and, if applicable, any
Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and perform
inspections and consult with managers of operating or non-
operating departments, as may be useful in performing its duties.
The Chairperson of the Committee gives prior notice of such
meeting to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer or, if the
functions are separate, both the Chairman of the Board of
Directors and the Chief Executive Officer. 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

Item 6 - C. Board Practices and Corporate Governance

Department) by asking the Company’s Chief Financial Officer to
call them to a meeting.

The Committee consults with the statutory auditors and, at least
once a year, without any Company representative being present. If
it is informed of a substantial irregularity, it recommends that the
Board of Directors take all appropriate action.

Evaluation of the Board’s practices

Once a year, the Board of Directors adds a discussion of its practices
to its agenda. It also conducts a formal evaluation of its own practices
at regular intervals of up to three years. This evaluation is carried out
under the supervision of the Governance and Ethics Committee with
the help 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 on February 10, 2016, the Board of Directors
discussed its practices on the basis of a formal self-evaluation
carried out by an external consultant in the form of interviews with
each director based on a detailed questionnaire. The evaluation
was carried out under the supervision of Ms. Barbizet, Lead
Independent Director. 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 director’s contribution to the work of the Board
and its Committees.

This formal evaluation showed a positive opinion of the practices 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 Group’s sites,

special attention was paid at the start of each meeting to the review of
the main points to be examined by the Board (financial statements,
large-scale investment and divestment projects, etc.).

To further improve its performance, the Board retained the main
suggestions made by the directors in the 2016 self-assessment,

2.

Statement regarding corporate governance

Item 6 - C. Board Practices and Corporate Governance

which notably concerned to continue its reflections on the
monitoring of risks at the Board level and changes to the Board’s
composition, as well as the holding of executive sessions in
application of the Board’s rules of procedures and the examination
of creating a secured-access platform for Board documents.

For many years, TOTAL has taken an active approach to corporate governance and at its meeting on November 4, 2008, the Board of
Directors confirmed its decision to refer to the AFEP-MEDEF Code of corporate governance for publicly-traded companies.

The AFEP-MEDEF Code is available on the Internet websites of the MEDEF and AFEP.

The AFEP-MEDEF Code was revised in June 2013 to introduce new changes regarding, in particular, a consultation procedure in which
shareholders can express an opinion on the individual compensation of the executive directors (say on pay), as well as the establishment of a
High Committee for corporate governance, an independent structure in charge of monitoring implementation of the Code. It was also revised
in November 2015 to introduce the principle of consultation of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting in case of the sale of at least one-half of the
company’s assets and to bring the Code in line with new laws regarding supplementary pensions of executive directors.

Pursuant to Article L. 225-37 of the French Commercial Code, the following table sets forth the recommendations made in the AFEP-MEDEF
Code that the Company has not followed and the reasons for such decision.

Recommendations not followed

Explanations — Practice followed by TOTAL

The Board of Directors’ assessment (paragraph 10.4 of the
Code)

It is recommended that non-executive directors meet periodically
without the participation of the executive or “in house” directors. The
rules of procedure of the Board of Directors should provide for one
meeting of this kind per year, during which the performance of the
Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer and the Deputy Chief Executive
Officer(s) would be evaluated, and which would be an opportunity to
reflect periodically on the future of the Company’s management.

Compensation Committee (point 18.1 of the Code)

It is recommended that one member of the Committee should be an
employee director.

Supplementary pension plan (point 23.2.6 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.

At its meeting held each year in February, the Board of Directors
evaluates the performance of the executive directors and, where
applicable, reflects as necessary on the future of the Company’s
management. When these particular matters are reviewed, the
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the members of the
Executive Committee in attendance (who are not directors) leave
the Board meeting.

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 February 2016, the part of the meeting during which the Board
discussed the evaluation of the performance of the Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer and the determination of his compensation
was chaired by the Lead Independent Director. Thus, the Board of
Directors’ practice constitutes a mechanism that has the same
effect as the recommendation made in the AFEP-MEDEF Code.

Given that the Compensation Committee is made up exclusively of
independent directors and that the Lead Independent Director is a
member of this Committee, the Board of Directors determined that
it was appropriate that the director representing employees be a
member of the Strategic Committee to allow him or her to be more
involved in reviewing the overall strategy of the Group and
operations that are of particular strategic importance, and in
reviewing competition and the resulting medium and long-term
outlook for the Group.

It appeared justified not to deprive the concerned beneficiaries of
the benefit of the pension commitments made by the Company in
special 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.

At year-end 2015, the country with the most employees after France was the United States, followed by Mexico, Poland and the Philippines.
The decrease in the number of employees in 2015 was, on the one hand, due to divestments made during the year (refer to Note 3 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements) and, on the other hand, due to the recruitment reduction policy in the Group’s oil-related sector to face
the decrease in the price of hydrocarbons.

Recruitments in China, which represent 9.2% of 2015 recruitments, are long-term contracts as defined by local law.

The number of employees hired under open-ended contracts in 2015 in the fully-consolidated companies decreased by 16.2% compared to
2014, due to the very significant decrease in the price of oil since the second half of 2014. The regions or business segments in which the
largest number of employees were hired were Latin America (37.8%), Asia (24.3%) and Europe (20%), on the one hand, and Refining &
Chemicals (53%), on the other hand.

In 2015, the fully-consolidated Group companies also hired 2,666 employees on fixed-term contracts. Close to 600,000 job applications
were received by the companies covered by the WHRS.

Dividend

Dividend policy

Dividend payment policy

2.1.1.
The Company has paid dividends on its share capital in each year
since 1946. Future dividends will depend on the Company’s
earnings, financial condition and other factors. The payment and
amount of dividends are subject to the recommendation of the
Board of Directors and resolution by the Company’s shareholders
at the annual Shareholders’ Meeting.

On October 28, 2010, TOTAL S.A.’s Board of Directors adopted a
policy based on quarterly dividend payments starting in fiscal year
2011.

2.1.2.

Fiscal years 2015 and 2016 dividends

TOTAL has paid the following quarterly interim dividends with
respect to fiscal year 2015:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

the first quarterly interim dividend for the fiscal year 2015 of
€0.61 per share, decided by the Board of Directors on
September 22, 2015, was paid in cash or in shares on
October 21, 2015 (the ex-dividend date was September 28,
2015). The number of shares issued in lieu of the cash
dividend was based on the dividend amount divided by
€35.63 per share, equal to 90% of the average Euronext Paris
opening price of the shares for the 20 trading days preceding
the Board of Directors meeting, reduced by the amount of the
first interim dividend; and
the second quarterly interim dividend for the fiscal year 2015
of €0.61 per share, decided by the Board of Directors on
December 16, 2015, was paid in cash or in shares on
January 14, 2016 (the ex-dividend date was December 21,
2015). The number of shares issued in lieu of the cash
dividend was based on the dividend amount divided by
€39.77 per share, equal to 90% of the average Euronext Paris
opening price of the shares for the 20 trading days preceding
the Board of Directors meeting, reduced by the amount of the
second interim dividend.

The third quarterly interim dividend of €0.61 per share for fiscal
year 2015, approved by the Board of Directors on March 15,
2016, will be paid in cash or in shares on April 12, 2016 (the ex-
dividend date will be March 21, 2016).

After closing the 2015 accounts, the Board of Directors decided
on February 10, 2016, to propose to the Annual Shareholders’
Meeting on May 24, 2016 an annual dividend of €2.44 per share
for fiscal year 2015. Taking into account the interim dividends for
the first three quarters of 2015 decided by the Board of Directors,
the remaining 2015 dividend is €0.61 per share, equal to the three
2015 interim dividends.

The Board of Directors also decided to propose to the
shareholders the option of receiving the remaining 2015 dividend

payment in new shares benefiting from a discount of 10%(1).
Pending the approval at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, the

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 claims against TOTAL S.A., its subsidiary and other
third parties, damages that it estimates to be nearly €908 million.
This proceeding follows practices that had been condemned by
the Italian competition authority in 2006. The parties have
exchanged preliminary findings. The existence and the assessment
of the alleged damages in this procedure involving multiple
defendants remain contested.

Blue Rapid and the Russian Olympic Committee –
Russian regions and Interneft

Blue Rapid, a Panamanian company, and the Russian Olympic
Committee filed a claim for damages with the Paris Commercial Court
against Elf Aquitaine, alleging a so-called non-completion by a former
subsidiary of Elf Aquitaine of a contract related to an exploration and
production project in Russia negotiated in the early 1990s. Elf
Aquitaine believed this claim to be unfounded and opposed it. On
January 12, 2009, the Commercial Court of Paris rejected Blue
Rapid’s claim against Elf Aquitaine and found that the Russian
Olympic Committee did not have standing in the matter. On June 30,
2011, the Court of Appeal of Paris dismissed as inadmissible the
claim of Blue Rapid and the Russian Olympic Committee against
Elf Aquitaine, notably on the grounds of the contract having lapsed.
The judgment of the Court of Appeals of Paris is now final and binding
following two decisions issued on February 18, 2016 by the French
Supreme Court to put an end to this proceeding.

In connection with the same facts, and 15 years after the
aforementioned exploration and production contract was rendered
null and void (“caduc”), a Russian company, which was held not to
be the contracting party to the contract, and two regions of the
Russian Federation that were not even parties to the contract,
launched an arbitration procedure against the aforementioned
former subsidiary of Elf Aquitaine that was liquidated in 2005,
claiming alleged damages of $22.4 billion. For the same reasons
as those successfully adjudicated by Elf Aquitaine against Blue
Rapid and the Russian Olympic Committee, the Group considers
this claim to be unfounded as a matter of law and fact.

FERC

The Office of Enforcement of the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) has begun an investigation in connection with
the natural gas trading activities of TOTAL Gas & Power North
America, Inc, an American subsidiary of the Group. The
investigation covers transactions made by the Group’s subsidiary
between June 2009 and June 2012 on the natural gas market.
TOTAL Gas & Power North America, Inc received a Notice of
Alleged Violations of the FERC on September 21, 2015

The Group’s subsidiary is cooperating in the investigation with the
U.S. authorities, while contesting the claims brought against it.

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), in a stockpile of ammonium nitrate pellets. The explosion
caused the death of thirty-one people, including twenty-one
workers at the site, injured many others and caused significant
damage on the site and to property in the city of Toulouse.

Grande Paroisse donated the former site of the plant to the greater
agglomeration of Toulouse. A €10 million endowment was also
granted to the InNaBioSanté research foundation as part of the
setting up of a cancer research center at the site.

After many years, the investigating magistrate brought charges
against Grande Paroisse and the former Plant Manager before the
Toulouse Criminal Court. TOTAL S.A. and the CEO at the time of
the event were summoned to appear in Court pursuant to a
request by a victims association.

On November 19, 2009, the Toulouse Criminal Court 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. The Court also ruled that the summonses were
inadmissible.

On September 24, 2012, the Court of Appeal convicted the former
Plant Manager and Grande Paroisse. The summonses were
determined to be inadmissible.

On January 13, 2015, the French Supreme Court (Cour de
cassation) fully quashed the decision of September 24, 2012. The
French Supreme Court ruled that the Court of Appeal impartiality

was questionable and that the application of the law on which the
conviction was partially based was improper. The case has been
referred back to the Court of Appeal of Paris for a new criminal trial
that could be held in early 2017.

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 €7.3 million reserve
remains booked in the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements
as of December 31, 2015.

Iran

In 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) followed
by the Department of Justice (DoJ) issued a formal order directing
an investigation against TOTAL, and others oil companies, for
alleged violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and
the Company’s accounting obligations in connection with the
pursuit of business in Iran in the 1990s.

In late May 2013, and after several years of discussions, TOTAL
reached settlements with the U.S. authorities (a Deferred
Prosecution Agreement with the DoJ and a Cease and Desist
Order with the SEC). These settlements, which put an end to these
investigations, were concluded without admission of guilt and in
exchange for TOTAL respecting a number of obligations, including
the payment of a fine and civil compensation for an aggregate
amount of $398.2 million. By virtue of these settlements, TOTAL
also accepted the appointment of a French independent
compliance monitor to review the Group’s compliance program
and to recommend possible improvements. For more information,
refer to “Item 4 – E. Other Matters – 4.3.7.1. Preventing
corruption” and “Item 15 – 4.3.1. Monitoring of risk management
systems – Ethical misconduct and non–compliance risks”.

With respect to the same facts, TOTAL was placed under formal
investigation in France in 2012. In October 2014, the investigating
magistrate decided to refer the case to trial.

Italy

As part of an investigation led by the Public Prosecutor of the
Potenza Court in 2007, Total Italia and 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.

In May 2012, the Judge of the preliminary hearing decided to send
Total Italia and several employees for trial before the criminal court
of Potenza. The trial started in September 2012 and is still
ongoing. The judgment of the Court of Potenza is expected during
the second quarter of 2016.

Oil-for-Food Program

Several countries have launched investigations concerning
possible violations of the UN resolutions relating to the Iraqi Oil-for-
Food Program implemented as from 1996.

Pursuant to a French criminal investigation, certain current or
former Group employees were placed under formal criminal
investigation for possible charges as aiding and abetting the
misappropriation of corporate assets and/or as aiding and abetting
the corruption of foreign public agents. In 2010, TOTAL S.A. was
indicted on bribery charges as well as aiding and abetting and
concealing the influence peddling.

On July 8, 2013, TOTAL S.A. and the persons who were
prosecuted were cleared of all charges by the Paris Criminal Court,
which found that none of the offenses for which they had been
prosecuted was established. The Prosecutor’s office appealed the
parts of the Criminal Court’s decision acquitting TOTAL S.A. for
corruption of foreign public agents. On February 26, 2016, the
Court of Appeal of Paris overturned the Criminal Court’s decision
and TOTAL S.A. was convicted and ordered to pay a fine of
€750,000. The Company has decided to appeal this decision
before, the French Supreme Court (Cour de cassation).

The number of new shares authorized under the 10th resolution of the ESM held on May 16, 2014 cannot exceed 1,000 million shares. Pursuant to the 14th resolution of
the ESM held on May 16, 2014, the Board of Directors decided on July 29, 2014 to proceed with a capital increase reserved for Group employees in 2015
(see note (c) below). As a result, the available balance under this authorization was 989,520,590 new shares as of December 31, 2015.
Share capital as of December 31, 2015: 2,440,057,883 shares.
The number of new shares authorized under the 14th and 15th resolutions of the May 16, 2014 ESM may not exceed 1.5% of the share capital on the date when the Board
of Directors decides to use the delegation. On July 29, 2014, the Board of Directors decided to proceed with a capital increase in 2015. This led to the issue of 10,479,410
shares. As a result, the available balance under these authorizations was 26,121,458 new shares as of December 31, 2015.
The number of shares that may be awarded as restricted share grants under the 16th resolution of the May 16, 2014 ESM may not exceed 0.8% of the share capital on the
date when the restricted shares are awarded by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors awarded 4,486,300 outstanding shares on July 29, 2014, awarded 20,882
new shares on April 27, 2015 as part of the decision to grant a matching contribution for the capital increase reserved for employees in 2015, and awarded 4,761,935
outstanding shares on July 28, 2015. As a result, the number of shares that could still be awarded as of December 31, 2015 was 10,251,346 shares. In addition, the shares
awarded under presence and performance conditions to the Company’s executive directors under the 16th resolution of the ESM held on May 16, 2014, cannot exceed
0.01% of the outstanding share capital on the date of the decision of the Board of Directors to proceed with the grant. Given the 48,000 outstanding shares awarded under
presence and performance conditions to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer by the Board of Directors on July 29, 2014, and the 48,000 outstanding shares awarded
under performance conditions to the Chief Executive Officer by the Board of Directors on July 28, 2015, the number of outstanding shares that may still be awarded to the
Company’s executive directors is 148,005.

(cid:129)
(cid:129)

(cid:129)
(cid:129)

reduce the Company’s capital through the cancellation of shares;

1.6.3.2.

Legal framework

Implementation of this share buyback program, which is covered
by Article L. 225-209 et seq. of the French Commercial Code,
Article 241-1 et seq. of the General Regulation of the French
Financial Markets Authority (Autorité des marchés financiers —
AMF), and the provisions of EC Regulation 2273/2003 of
December 22, 2003, is subject to approval by the TOTAL S.A.
Shareholders’ Meeting of May 24, 2016 through the 5th resolution
that reads as follows:

“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 and thereafter 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, of Council
Regulation No. 2273/2003 dated December 22, 2003 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 authorities.
Such transactions may include the use of any financial derivative
instrument traded on regulated markets, multilateral trading
facilities or over the counter, and implementing option strategies.

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 Company’s share capital.

The maximum purchase price is set at €70 per share.

In the case of a capital increase by incorporation of reserves or
share grants for no consideration and 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 outstanding as of the date on which this
authorization is used. This limit of 10% is applicable to a 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 indirect subsidiaries.

As of December 31, 2015, out of the 2,440,057,883 shares
outstanding at this date, the Company held 13,636,490 shares
directly and 100,331,268 shares indirectly through its subsidiaries,
for a total of 113,967,758 shares. Under these circumstances, the
maximum number of shares that the Company could buy back is
130,038,030 shares and the maximum amount that the Company
may spend to acquire such shares is €9,101,662,100.

The purpose of this share buyback program is to reduce the
number of shares outstanding or to allow the Company to fulfill its
engagements in connection with:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

convertible or exchangeable securities that may give holders
rights to receive shares of the Company upon conversion or
exchange; or
share purchase option plans, employee shareholding plans,
Company savings plans or other share allocation programs
for management or employees of the Company or Group
companies.

The purpose of the buybacks may also be one of the market
practices accepted by the AMF, i.e.,:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

delivery of shares (by exchange, payment or otherwise) in
cases of external growth transactions, mergers, spin-offs or
contributions, not exceeding the limit set forth in
Article L. 225-209, 6th paragraph of the French Commercial
Code in cases of mergers, spin-offs or contributions; or
support the secondary market or the liquidity of TOTAL
shares by an investment services provider by means of a
liquidity agreement compliant with the Code of ethics
recognized by the AMF.

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 or any permitted market practice, or any other
purpose that may be authorized or any other market practice that
may be permitted under the applicable law or regulation. 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:

(cid:129)

cancelled, up to the maximum legal limit of 10% of the total
number of shares outstanding on the date of the operation,
per each 24-month period;
granted for no consideration to the employees of the Group
and to the management of the Company or of other
companies of the Group;
delivered to the holders of Company’s 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;
or
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.

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

This authorization is granted for a period of eighteen months from
the date of this Meeting. It renders ineffective up to the unused
portion, the previous authorization granted by the Ordinary
Shareholders’ Meeting held on May 29, 2015.

The Board of Directors is hereby granted full authority, with the
right to delegate such authority, to undertake all actions authorized
by this resolution.”

In addition, the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting of May 11, 2012
authorized the Board of Directors to reduce the Company capital
by canceling shares within a 10% limit of the share capital per
24-month period. This authorization was granted for five years and
will expire at the conclusion of the Shareholders’ Meeting called to
approve the financial statements for fiscal year ending
December 31, 2016. This authorization reads as follows: “Upon
presentation of the report of the Board of Directors and the
auditors’ special report, and voting under the conditions of quorum
and majority required for Extraordinary General Meetings, the
shareholders hereby authorize the Board of Directors, in
accordance with Article L.225-209 and following of the French
Commercial Code and Article L.225-213 of the same Code, to
reduce the Company’s capital on one or more occasions by
canceling shares, in the limits authorized by law.

The maximum number of Company shares that can be canceled
due to this authorization is set at 10% of the shares comprising the
Company capital, per twenty-four month period, specifying that
this limit applies to the number of shares that will be adjusted, if
necessary, to take into account transactions affecting the share
capital after this meeting.

The Shareholders’ Meeting grants all authority to the Board of
Directors, with the option to sub-delegate within the conditions set
forth by the law, to perform the share capital reduction
transactions at its sole option, decide on the number of shares to
be canceled within a 10% limit per twenty-four month period, of
the total number of shares comprising the existing share capital on
the date of the transaction, determine the terms and condition of
the capital reduction and record the completion, allocate, if
necessary, the difference between the purchase value of the
shares to be canceled and their par value in a reserve or premium
account, then modify the Articles of Association and carry out any
necessary formalities.

This authorization is granted for five years and expires at the
conclusion of the Shareholders’ Meeting called to approve the
financial statements for fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.”

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 proposed to the Shareholders’ Meeting of May 24,
2016 may not exceed 10% of the total number of shares
outstanding, with this limit applying to an amount of the
Company’s 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 given by the
Shareholders’ Meeting of May 29, 2015, based on the number of
shares outstanding as of February 29, 2016 (2,454,012,342
shares), and given the 113,967,478 shares held by the Group as of
February 29, 2016, i.e., 4.64% of the share capital, the maximum

number of shares that may be purchased would be 131,433,756,
representing a theoretical maximum investment of €9,200,362,920
based on the maximum purchase price of €70.

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 Company’s Central Works Council. Where the number of
directors appointed by the Shareholders’ Meeting is greater than
12(1), a second director representing the employees is designated
by the Company’s European Works Council. In accordance with
applicable legal provisions, the director elected by the Central
Works Council must have held an employment contract with the

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 Shareholders’ Meeting called to approve

during which the said director’s term of office expires.

2.3.2.

Age limit of Directors

On the closing date of each fiscal year, the number of individual

70 years old.

2.3.3.

Item 10 - 2. Memorandum and Articles of Association

The age limits specified above are stipulated in the Company’s
bylaws and were approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting held on
May 16, 2014.

2.3.4.

Minimum interest in the Company held by
directors

Each director (other than the director representing the employee
shareholders or the director representing the employees) must
own at least 1,000 shares of stock 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
d’Entreprise, FCPE) governed by Article L. 214-165 of the French
Monetary and Finance Code, at least one share or a number of
units in said fund equivalent to at least one share. The director
representing the employees is not bound to be a shareholder.

2.3.5.

Majority rule 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.

2.3.6.

Rules of procedure of the Board and
Committees of the Board of Directors

Refer to “Item 6 — C.1. Practices of the Board of Directors”,
above.

2.3.7.

Form of Management

Management of the Company is assumed either by the Chairman
of the Board (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, as of December 19, 2015, the functions of
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TOTAL S.A. As of such
date, Mr. Pouyanné was appointed Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of TOTAL S.A. For further information on governance
structure refer to “Item 6 — C.1.1. Governance structure”, above.

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 and 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.

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 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.

2.4.2.

Limitation of voting rights

Article 18 of the Company’s 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 Company’s 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.

Moreover, 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 Company’s shares following a public tender offer
for all the Company’s shares. In that case, the Board of Directors
acknowledges that the limitation no longer applies and carries out
the necessary procedure to modify the Company’s 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 Company’s
shares.

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.

2.4.4.

Statutory allocation of profits

The Company may distribute dividends under the conditions
provided for by the French Commercial Code and the Company’s
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, and all provisions for commercial
and industrial contingencies.

From this profit, minus prior losses, if any, the following items are
deducted in the order indicated:

1)

2)

3)

5% to constitute the legal reserve fund, until said fund
reaches 10% of the share capital;
the amounts set by the Shareholders’ Meeting 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.

(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).

142

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

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 5-year period
are forfeited to the French State.

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.

2.6.

Shareholders’ meetings

2.6.1. Notice of meetings

Shareholders’ Meetings are convened and conducted under the
conditions provided for by law.

The Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting is called to take any decisions
that do not modify the Company’s 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. Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting decisions are
made with the majority of votes of shareholders present,
represented or participating by remote voting.

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. Decisions of
Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meetings are made with a two-thirds
majority of votes of shareholders present, represented or
participating by remote voting.

One or several shareholders holding a certain percentage of the
Company’s share capital (calculated using a decreasing scale
based on the share capital) may ask for items or resolution drafts
to be added to the agenda of a Shareholders’ Meeting under the
forms, terms and deadlines set forth by the French Commercial
Code. Requests to add items or resolution drafts 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 and 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 working date preceding
the date of the meeting.

Item 10 - 2. Memorandum and Articles of Association

The Central Works Committee may also request the addition of
draft resolutions to the meeting agendas under the forms, terms
and deadlines set by the French Labor Code. In particular,
requests to add draft resolutions must be sent within 10 business
days following the date the notice of meeting was published.

2.6.2. Admission to meetings

Participation in any form in Shareholders’ Meetings is subject to
registration of participating 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, after having
received such a certificate, shares are sold or transferred prior to
this record date, the certificate of participation will be canceled and
the votes sent by mail or proxies granted to the Company for such
shares 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.

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 immediate or future voting rights
at the Company’s Shareholders’ Meetings.

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 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
Company’s 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.

2.9.

Changes in the share capital

The Company’s 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 Company’s share capital.

The French Commercial Code stipulates that shareholders hold, in
proportion to their number of shares, a pre-emptive 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 pre-emptive
subscription right.

Exchange controls

Under current French exchange control regulations, no limits exist on the amount of payments that TOTAL may remit to residents of the
United States. Laws and regulations concerning foreign exchange controls do require, however, that an accredited intermediary must handle
all payments or transfer of funds made by a French resident to a non-resident.

Taxation

5.1.

General

This section generally summarizes the material U.S. federal income
tax and French tax consequences of owning and disposing of
shares and 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 a U.S. court can exercise primary
supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more
U.S. persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of
the trust.

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:

dealers in securities;
traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market
method of accounting for their securities holdings;
tax-exempt organizations;
life 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 share capital or voting rights in TOTAL;
persons that purchase or sell shares or ADSs as part of a
wash sale for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
persons that hold the shares or ADSs as part of a straddle or
a hedging or conversion transaction; or
persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.

If a partnership or other entity 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 as well as modifications 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 ADSs or shares held in a
trust. If ADSs or shares are held in trust, the grantor, trustee and
beneficiary are urged to consult their own tax adviser regarding the
specific tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of
ADSs or shares.

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

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.

This section is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (“IRC”), its legislative history, existing and proposed
regulations, published rulings and court decisions, and with
respect to the description of the material French tax
consequences, 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.

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 Section 238-0 A of the French Tax Code. 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.

Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors
regarding the U.S. federal, state and local, and 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.

5.2.

Taxation of dividends

5.2.1.

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 are in principle subject
to a French withholding tax at a rate of 30%, regardless of whether
they are paid in cash, in shares or a mix of both.

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.

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).

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)

(ii)

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
the U.S. financial institution managing the U.S. Holder’s
securities account provides to the French paying agent 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. Holder’s 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 30% French withholding tax
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. Holder’s 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 30% rate to the French tax authorities,

Item 10 - 5. Taxation

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 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:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

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

the fund has characteristics similar to those of collective
investment funds organized under French law (i.e., among
others, open-end mutual fund (OPCVM), open-end real estate
fund (OPCI) and closed-end investment companies (SICAF)).

Collective investment funds are urged to consult their own tax
advisors to confirm whether they are eligible to such provisions
and under which conditions.

5.2.2.

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 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) to the extent of the
current and accumulated earnings and profits of TOTAL (as
determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes). 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 that the shares or
ADSs are held for more than sixty days during the 121-day period
beginning sixty days before the ex-dividend date and the holder
meets other holding period requirements. TOTAL believes that
dividends paid by TOTAL with respect to its shares or ADSs will be
qualified dividend income. The dividend will not be eligible for the
dividends-received deduction allowed to a U.S. corporation under
IRC Section 243. The dividend is taxable to the U.S. Holder when

2015 Form 20-F TOTAL S.A.

145

Item 10 - 5. Taxation

the holder, in the case of shares, or the Depositary, in the case of
ADSs, receives the dividend, actually or constructively. 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 generally treat
distributions with respect to the shares or ADSs as dividends

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. Holder’s
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. Holder’s 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 advisers
concerning the implications of these rules in light of their
particular circumstances.

Subject to certain conditions and limitations, French taxes withheld
in accordance with the Treaty will generally be eligible for credit
against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. 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 an
individual’s U.S. federal income tax liability.

For this purpose, dividends distributed by TOTAL will constitute
“passive income”, or, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, “general
income”, which are treated separately from one another for
purposes of computing the foreign tax credit allowable to the
U.S. Holder. Alternatively, a U.S. Holder may claim all foreign taxes
paid as an itemized deduction in lieu of claiming a foreign tax
credit.

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 holder’s
tax basis in the distributed shares (or ADSs) will be equal to such
amount.

5.3.

Taxation of disposition of shares

In general, 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
unless those shares or ADSs form part of a business property of a
permanent establishment or fixed base that the U.S. Holder has in
France. Special rules may apply to individuals who are residents of
more than one country.

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 1st of the year preceding the acquisition. A list of the
companies within the scope of the financial transaction tax for
2016 is published in the French Guidelines Bulletin Officiel des

146

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

Finances Publiques, BOI-ANNX-000467-20151221. TOTAL is
included in this list. The tax also applies to the acquisition of ADRs
evidencing ADSs. The financial transaction tax is due at a rate of
0.2% 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 d’investissement). 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
generally will 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 disposition
and the holder’s tax basis, determined in U.S. dollars, in the
shares or ADSs. The gain or loss generally will be U.S. source gain
or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the
U.S. Holder’s 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.

5.4.

Passive foreign investment status

TOTAL believes that the shares or 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 change. If TOTAL is treated as a PFIC, gain
realized on the sale or other disposition of the shares or ADSs
would in general not be treated as capital gain. Instead, unless a
U.S. Holder elects to be taxed annually on a mark-to-market basis
with respect to the shares or ADSs, a U.S. Holder would be
treated as if he or she had realized such gain and certain “excess
distributions” ratably over the holding period for the shares or
ADSs and would be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for each
such year to which the gain was allocated, in addition to an
interest charge in respect of the tax attributable to each such year.
With certain exceptions, a U.S. Holder’s shares or ADSs will be
treated as stock in a PFIC if TOTAL were a PFIC at any time during
such holder’s holding period in the shares or ADSs. Dividends paid
will not be eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to
qualified dividend income if TOTAL is treated as a PFIC with
respect to a U.S. Holder either in the taxable year of the
distribution or the preceding taxable year, but instead will be
taxable at rates applicable to ordinary income.

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 making the gift, or at the time of his 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.

5.6.

French wealth tax

The French wealth tax does not apply to a U.S. Holder (i) that is
not an individual, or (ii) in the case of individuals who are eligible for
the benefits of the Treaty and who own, alone or with related

persons, directly or indirectly, TOTAL shares which give right to
less than 25% of TOTAL’s earnings.

5.7.

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 Note 31 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
included elsewhere herein for a qualitative and quantitative
discussion of the Group’s exposure to market risks. Please also
refer to Notes 29 and 30 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
included elsewhere herein 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 Note 1 paragraph M
and Notes 20, 28 and 29 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
included elsewhere herein.

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
Group’s activities are, to various degrees, sensitive to fluctuations
in the dollar/euro exchange rate.

1.

Disclosure controls and procedures

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the
participation of the Group’s 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 Group’s 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 the
Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

2.

Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting

The Group’s 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 Group’s 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 Group’s management concluded that its internal
control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31,
2015.

The effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2015, was audited by KPMG S.A. and Ernst &
Young Audit, independent registered public accounting firms, as
stated in their report on page F-2 of this Annual Report.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were no changes in the Group’s 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 Group’s internal control over financial

Internal control and risk management procedures (Article L. 225-37 of the French Commercial
Code)

Information related to the internal control and risk management
procedures implemented within the Group presented hereafter are
part of the Report of the Chairman of the Board of Directors
prepared pursuant to Article L. 225-37 of the French Commercial
Code.

The information contained in the Report of the Chairman of the
Board of Directors was prepared with the assistance of several of
the Company’s corporate functional departments, including in
particular the Legal, Finance and Group Internal Control and Audit
Departments. After the sections relevant to their respective duties
were reviewed by the Governance and Ethics Committee, the
Compensation Committee and the Audit Committee, the
information was approved by the Board of Directors.

4.1.

Basic elements of internal control

The Group is structured around three business segments
(Upstream, Refining & Chemicals, Marketing & Services) to which

the Group’s operational entities report. Business segment
management are responsible, within their 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 departments of 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 functional departments of the Holding level include the
Finance Division (to which the Group Risk Assessment and
Insurance Department and the Group Information Technology
Department report), the Legal Affairs Department (including the
Compliance and Social Responsibility Department) and Corporate
Affairs (to which the following departments report: Corporate
Internal Control and Audit, Sustainable Development and
Environment, Human Resources, Security, Industrial Safety and
Purchasing).

Items 15 - 4. Internal control and risk management procedures

The Group’s internal control and risk management systems are
structured around this three-level organization — Holding level,
business segments, operational entities — where each level is
directly involved and accountable in line with the degree of
centralization decided by General Management.

General Management constantly strives to maintain an efficient
internal control system across the Group, 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 Group’s 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.

The Group’s risk management system draws on the main
international standards (COSO Enterprise Risk Management
integrated framework, ISO 31000:2009 — 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 Group’s internal control and risk management systems cover
the processes of the fully consolidated entities and the most
important equity affiliates.

Under these internal control principles, which are part of the
corporate governance organization, the Audit Committee is
responsible for monitoring the efficiency of internal control and risk
management systems, assisted by the Corporate Internal Control
and Audit Department and the internal control teams from the
business segments. These rules are particularly designed to allow
the Board of Directors to ensure that internal control is effective
and that published information available to shareholders and
financial markets is reliable.

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 Corporate Internal
Control and Audit Department, which employed 79 people in 2015
and carried out more than 180 internal audits.

4.2.

Control environment

The control environment is based primarily on the Group’s Code of
Conduct, which, in addition to safety, sets forth its core values
(respect, responsibility and exemplary conduct) and business
principles in terms of safety, security, health, protection of the
environment, integrity and respect for human rights. This Code of
Conduct builds trust between TOTAL and both its employees and
stakeholders.

–

Integrity and ethics

The Group’s values and business principles are set out in its Code
of Conduct (revised in 2014), its Business Integrity Guide and its
Human Rights Guide. These documents are distributed to all
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 has a presence. The Group has

150

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

pledged its adherence to recognized international standards
related to human rights and, in particular, the core conventions of
the International Labour Organization (ILO), the “voluntary
principles on security and human rights” and the United Nations
guiding principles on business and human rights.

The Financial Code of Ethics, which also refers to the Code of
Conduct, sets forth specific rules for the Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Senior Vice
President Accounting and the financial and accounting officers of
the principal Group activities.

As a priority of General Management, the Group deploys ethics
and compliance policies and programs, including in particular anti-
fraud programs and programs for the prevention of corruption and
competition law infringement. These include training programs as
well as compliance audits and ethical assessments (refer to
“Item 4 — E. Other Matters — 4.3.7. Fair operating practices”,
above). The Group also relies on the Ethics Committee, whose role
is to listen and provide assistance in these areas.

The relationship between the Group and its service providers is
also based on adherence to the principles set forth in the Code of
Conduct and on the fundamental principles of purchasing
attached to all contracts. Suppliers and service providers are
required to apply standards equivalent to those of the Group,
particularly with respect to their employees, and to make every
effort to encourage their own suppliers and subcontractors in turn
to respect these principles (for further information about relations
between the Group and its suppliers, (refer to “Item 4 — E. Other
Matters — 4.3.6. Contractors and suppliers”, above).

–

Structure, authority and responsibility

General Management ensures that the organizational structure and
reporting lines plan, execute, control and periodically assess the
Group’s activities. General Management 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 Group has also defined central responsibilities that cover the
three lines of defense 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.

In addition, 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
clear rules applicable to its specific scope by directly integrating
the Group’s instructions.

–

Policies and procedures

TOTAL incorporates the values, fundamental principles, strategic
options and respective requirements of the businesses, at all levels
of the organization, into a normative framework, supplemented by
a set of practical recommendations and feedback. Like the
Group’s organization, this framework has a three-level structure: a
Group level, with the REFLEX Group framework and the technical
framework set out by the Corporate Technology Group,
frameworks for each business segment; and a specific framework
for each significant operational entity.

A document known as the governance framework details the
relationship between these frameworks and describes their
respective scope, the way in which the standards differ from one
another (by adaptation, clarification or stricter requirements relative
to higher level standards), exemption processes, if any, standards
development processes and the monitoring system put in place.

The main procedures regarding financial controls established at
the corporate level cover acquisitions and sales, capital
expenditure, financing and cash management, budget control and
financial reporting. Disclosure controls and procedures are in place
(refer to “— 4.3.2. Internal control procedures related to the
preparation and processing of accounting and financial
information”, below). At the operating levels, these procedures
mainly pertain to directives, rules and recommendations regarding
health, general safety, industrial safety, IT security, the environment
and sustainable development, as well as integrity and fraud and
corruption prevention.

These documents, all of which are published on the intranet, are
reviewed regularly and their implementation is monitored.

At the business segment or operational entity levels, control
activities are organized around the main operational processes:
exploration and reserves, procurement, capital expenditure,
production, sales, oil and gas trading, inventories, human
resources, financing and cash management, and account closing
process.

–

Commitment to competence

The Group’s Human Resources policy, revised in 2014, sets out
rules and practices that reflect its commitment in terms of social
responsibility and its expectations of employees, particularly in
terms of competencies. Descriptions of jobs within the Group’s
various entities define the competencies and expertise required for
employees to carry out their functions effectively.

In addition, the Human Resources function shapes and regularly
updates policies aimed at attracting new talents, including
employee training, assessment and retention policies (annual
appraisals, training programs, compensation policies and career
management – refer to “Item 6 — B.1. Employees’
compensation”, above).

–

Accountability

The Board of Directors, with the support of the Audit Committee,
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 Group’s objectives are
achieved.

The general managements of the business segments and
operational entities are responsible for designing and deploying
specific components of this internal control and risk management
system within their area of responsibility. A representation letter
process regularly deployed at the various levels of the organization
reinforces the effectiveness of the internal control system,
particularly over financial reporting.

The Internal Control Department has pursued a 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

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, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In
2015, this assessment was performed with the assistance of the
Group’s main entities and the Corporate Internal Control and Audit
Department. The system used covers:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

the most significant entities, which assess the key operational
controls of their significant processes and respond to a Group
questionnaire for assessing the internal control system;

other less significant entities, which respond only to the
Group questionnaire for assessing the internal control system.

These two categories of entities account for approximately 80%
and 10%, respectively, of the financial aggregates in the Group’s
Consolidated Financial Statements.

In addition, any activity, process or management system may be
the subject of an internal audit conducted by Group Audit, in
accordance with the international internal audit framework and its
code of ethics. The Corporate Internal Control and Audit
Department also conducts joint audits with third-party auditors 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 for approval. The
statutory auditors also review the internal controls that they deem
necessary as part of their certification of the financial statements.
In 2015, they reviewed the implementation of the Group’s internal
control framework and the design and effectiveness of key internal
controls at its main entities regarding financial reporting. Based on
their work, the statutory auditors declared that they had no
comments on the information and statements presented in this
present Report of the Chairman of the Board 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, Corporate Internal Control and Audit
attended all Audit Committee meetings held in 2015. The Audit
Committee also interviews the statutory auditors at least once a
year without any Company representatives present.

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
Corporate Internal Control and Audit Department, monitor them
closely.

Based on the internal reviews, General Management has
reasonable assurance of the effectiveness of the Group’s internal
control.

4.3.

Risk assessment and management

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
defined during the budgetary processes and in the long-term plan,
and are monitored regularly as part of the self-assessment
process.

The monitoring of operational objectives (financial and non-
financial) helps in decision-making and monitoring performance of
activities at each level of the organization.

TOTAL has set up an ongoing process to identify and analyze risks
that may preclude the achievement of its objectives. The Group
takes into account risks at all levels of the organization and in all its

2015 Form 20-F TOTAL S.A.

151

Items 15 - 4. Internal control and risk management procedures

entities, and examines factors that influence the severity,
probability of occurrence of risks or the loss of its assets and the
potential impact on operations, reporting (financial and non-
financial) and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

The Group has developed a control framework in line with the risk
assessments performed and implements initiatives necessary for
addressing specific risks by enforcing Group-wide rules. These
initiatives must reduce the probability of occurrence of risks and
their possible impact. They also cover the main processes
outsourced via subcontracting agreements.

TOTAL also identifies changes that could have a significant impact
on its internal control system, particularly changes related to
assets consolidated by the business segments. To this end, the
Group relies on governance bodies adapted to its various activities
and capable of making and implementing decisions necessary for
quickly responding to material changes that the Group must deal
with.

The risk-mapping activities carried out by the Group’s entities as
part of a regular risk assessment process help identify and analyze
key ongoing or foreseeable changes.

4.3.1.

Monitoring of risk management systems

The Executive Committee, with the assistance of the Group Risk
Committee (GRC) created in 2011, is responsible for identifying
and analyzing internal and external risks that could impact
TOTAL’s performance. The GRC’s main function is to identify risks
that could prevent the Group from achieving its objectives and to
ensure the existence and effectiveness of risk management
systems adapted to the Group’s needs.

The GRC relies on the work carried out by the business segments
and functional departments, which concurrently establish their own
risk mapping. These maps are drawn up according to a
methodological framework developed by the Group. The activities
of the GRC, the major risks identified by the Group and the risk
mappings of the business segments are regularly reported to the
Audit Committee

The Group’s business segments and entities are responsible for
defining and implementing a risk management policy suited to their
specific activities. However, today the handling of certain
transverse risks is more closely coordinated by the respective
functional departments.

General Management exercises operational control over TOTAL’s
activities through the Executive Committee’s approval of
investments and commitments for projects based on defined
thresholds. These projects are subject to prior review by the Risk
Committee (CORISK), whose conclusions are transmitted to the
Executive Committee. As part of this review, the CORISK verifies
the analysis of the various project-related risks.

The Group implements appropriate control systems for the main
risks identified.

Financial risks

The management and conditions procedures for using financial
instruments are governed by strict rules that are defined by the
Group’s General Management, and which provide for
centralization by the Treasury Department of liquidity, interest
exchange rate positions, management of financial instruments and
access to capital markets.

The Group’s financing policy consists of incurring long-term debt
primarily at a floating rate, or at a fixed rate when warranted by
interest rates. Debt is mainly incurred in U.S. dollars or euros
according to the Group’s general corporate needs.

152

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

The Group’s cash balances, which mainly consist of euros and
U.S. dollars, are managed to maintain liquidity based on daily
interest rates in the given currency. Maximum amounts are set for
transactions exceeding one month, with placements not to exceed
12 months. TOTAL S.A. also has confirmed credit facilities granted
by international banks. These credit facilities, along with the
Group’s 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 in financial transactions, the Group
adheres to a cautious policy, and only makes commitments with
institutions featuring a high degree of financial soundness, as
based on a multi-criteria analysis. An overall credit limit is set for
each authorized financial counterparty and allocated among the
Group’s subsidiaries. In addition, to reduce market value risk on its
commitments, the Treasury Department has entered into margin
call contracts with its significant counterparties.

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 Department, 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 Group’s currency exposure
and interest rate risks is described in detail in Note 31 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Industrial and environmental risks and risks related to
climate issues

The Group has developed a Safety Health Environment Quality
Charter that sets out the basic principles applicable to the
protection of people, property and the environment. This Charter is
implemented at several levels within the Group through its
management systems.

Along these lines, TOTAL develops safety, environment and quality
management systems such as MAESTRO (internal HSE
management system) and takes a targeted approach to certifying
its activities based on such standards as ISO 14001 and ISO 9001.

As part of its policy, the Group performs regular assessments,
following various procedures, of the risks and impacts of its
activities in the areas of industrial safety (particularly process
safety), the environment and the protection of workers and local
residents:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

prior to approving new projects, investments, acquisitions and
assets disposal;
during operations (safety studies, environmental impact
assessments, health impact studies); and
prior to releasing new substances on the market (toxicological
and ecotoxicological studies and life cycle analyses).

These assessments incorporate the regulatory requirements of the
countries where the Group’s activities are carried out and generally
accepted professional practices.

In countries where prior administrative authorization and
supervision is required, projects are not undertaken without the
authorization of the relevant authorities based on the studies
provided to the latter.

In particular, TOTAL has developed a common methodology for
analyzing technological risks that is being gradually applied to all
activities carried out by the companies of the Group (refer to “Item 4 –
E. Other Matters – 4.2.2.3. Incident risk”, above). TOTAL develops risk

management measures based on risk and impact assessments.
These measures involve facility and structure design, the
reinforcement of safety devices and environmental remediation.

needs and to limit information security risks. These rules are
implemented across the Group under the responsibility of the
various business segments.

Items 15 - 4. Internal control and risk management procedures

In addition to developing management systems as described
above, the Group strives to minimize industrial and environmental
risks inherent in its operations by conducting thorough inspections
and audits, training personnel and raising awareness among all
those involved.

In addition, performance indicators (particularly in the areas of
HSE) and risk monitoring have been put in place, objectives have
been set and action plans have been implemented to achieve
these objectives (refer to “Item 4 – E. Other Matters – 4.2. Safety,
health and environment information”, above).

Although the emphasis is on preventing risks, TOTAL takes regular
steps to prepare for crisis management based on identified risk
scenarios. The Group has a crisis management process that relies
on a permanent on-call system, regular drills, training courses in
crisis management and a set of tools. The organization set up in
the event of a crisis is deployed at two closely-coordinated levels:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

at the local level (country, site or entities), a crisis unit is
responsible for ensuring operational management and
implementing emergency plans; and
at the head office level, a crisis unit consisting of a multi-
disciplinary team is tasked with assessing the situation and
overseeing crisis management. This central unit provides the
necessary expertise and mobilizes additional resources to
assist the local crisis unit when necessary.

In addition, TOTAL has developed emergency plans and
procedures to respond to an oil spill or leak. These plans and
procedures are specific to each subsidiary and adapted to its
organization, activities and environment, and are consistent with
the Group’s anti-pollution plan. They are reviewed regularly and
tested through drills (refer to “Item 4 – E. Other Matters – 4.2.2.3.
Incident risk”, above).

At the Group level, TOTAL has set up an organization structured
around the Plan to Mobilize Resources Against Pollution
(PARAPOL) alert scheme to facilitate crisis management and
provide assistance regardless of geographical restrictions by
mobilizing both internal and external resources in the event of
pollution of marine, coastal or inland waters. Its main objective is to
facilitate access to internal and external experts and physical
response resources (FOST, Cedre, OSRL).

With regard to risks related to climate issues, TOTAL is committed
to managing its energy consumption and develops processes to
improve its energy performance and that of its customers, in
accordance with Article 9 of its Safety Health Environment Quality
Charter. In its decision-making process, the risks and associated
climate issues (flaring, GHG emissions, CO2 price sensitivity) are
assessed prior to the presentation of the projects to the Executive
Committee. Climate hazards are taken into consideration and
addressed either through environmental and safety assessments
to ensure that the consequences, and, in particular, possible
changes to surface water levels, do not affect the integrity of the
facilities, or through procedures that take into account local
hazards in order to arrange for the protection of people and
facilities.

The Group has also developed control activities at various levels of
the organization in areas where information systems cover all or
part of the processes. A set of Information Technology General
Controls (ITGC) aim to guarantee that information systems function
and are available as required, and that data integrity is guaranteed
and changes controlled.

Information Technology Automated Controls (ITAC) aim to ensure
the integrity of data generated or supported by business
applications, particularly those that impact financial flows.

The outsourcing of some components of the Group’s IT
infrastructure to service providers poses specific risks and requires
the selection and development of additional controls of the
completeness, accuracy and validity of the information supplied
and received from such service providers. Accordingly, to ensure
continuous improvement, the Group assesses whether suitable
controls are implemented by the service providers concerned and
what controls are necessary within its own organization to maintain
these risks at an acceptable level.

In addition, in light of growing risks in legal (document retention,
personal data protection, copyrights, etc.) and security (loss of
information, external and internal threats, fraud, etc.) areas, the
Group has stepped up its deployment, including within
subsidiaries, of information protection, document retention and
personal data protection policies (and, for the latter, in anticipation
of complying with the future European regulation scheduled to be
adopted in 2016).

Ethical misconduct and non-compliance risks

–

Fraud prevention

The Group deploys an anti-fraud and fraud prevention program
and has implemented a range of procedures and programs that
help to prevent, detect and limit different types of fraud. This effort
is supported by the business principles and values of individual
behavior described in the Group’s Code of Conduct and in the
codes, charters and other standards applied by the business
segments.

The Group has also issued a directive for handling incidents of
fraud that has been widely distributed to employees, and has
created an alert system that employees can use to report acts that
may constitute fraud. In addition, a specific process is in place for
reporting accounting, internal control and auditing irregularities.
This alert process, implemented at the request of the Audit
Committee, is monitored by the Audit Committee and may be
used by shareholders, employees and third parties.

In 2015, a large campaign on fraud risks to raise awareness of all
Group employees has been launched. A guide “Prevention and
fraud prevention the risks of fraud”, which highlights the different
actions conducted through the anti-fraud program was distributed.
A mapping of fraud risks in the Group was finalized in December
2015, allowing defining priority actions for 2016.

The deployment of the anti-fraud and fraud prevention program
relies on the network of fraud risks coordinators within the
business segments and operational entities.

Risks related to information systems

–

Prevention of corruption risks

TOTAL’s IT Department has developed and distributed
governance and security rules that describe the recommended
infrastructure, organization and procedures in order to maintain
information systems that are appropriate to the organization’s

General Management constantly reiterates the principle of zero
tolerance with regard to corruption. Internal rules have been
published since 2011 in this area. They cover various areas where
particular risks of exposure to corruption may exist (business
partnerships, representatives, procurement and sales, donations,

2015 Form 20-F TOTAL S.A.

153

Items 15 - 4. Internal control and risk management procedures

acquisitions, joint ventures, human resources, gifts and invitations,
etc.) in an effort to detect, assess and address risks at a very early
stage through an appropriate due diligence process.

To support this program, in December 2015 TOTAL launched a
second e-learning module in 11 languages open to all employees
and mandatory for more than 30,000 of them.

In addition, 370 compliance officers were appointed and trained
within the business segments and operational entities. Their role is
to ensure that the program is implemented at the local level.

Lastly, under the settlements reached in 2013 between TOTAL,
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the
Department of Justice (DoJ), an independent monitor was
appointed. His role is to conduct a 3-year assessment of the anti-
corruption compliance and related internal control procedures
implemented by the Group and to recommend improvements,
where necessary. The monitor took up the position at the end of
2013 and issued an initial report to the authorities in July 2014. As
the monitor was forced by health reasons to abandon this role, a
new monitor was appointed in early 2015 to continue the review. A
second report was issued in October 2015 in which the monitor
stated that “TOTAL has improved its corruption prevention
program considerably by implementing the recommendations
made in the first report.”

–

Prevention of competition law infringement

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 organization responsible for
implementing the program.

–

Prevention of insider trading and conflict of interests

The Group’s Ethics Committee implements a policy to prevent
insider trading on the financial markets which is based, in
particular, on the Group’s internal ethics rules. These rules are
updated on a regular basis and widely distributed to employees
who are permanently or occasionally in possession of insider
information. These ethical rules require, in particular, that
permanent insiders refrain from carrying out any transactions,
including hedging transactions, in TOTAL shares or ADRs and in
shares 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 results
publications (quarterly, interim and annual) as well as during the 30
calendar days preceding such date.

To prevent conflicts of interest, each of the Group’s senior
executives completes an annual statement declaring any conflicts
of interest to which he or she 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.

4.3.2.

Internal control procedures related to the
preparation and processing of accounting and
financial information

Accounting information

The Group’s Accounting Department, which reports to the
Group’s Chief Financial Officer, draws up the Group’s
Consolidated Financial Statements according to IFRS standards
based on the reporting packages prepared quarterly by the
consolidated entities, as well as the Statutory Financial Statements

154

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

of TOTAL S.A. as parent company and those of certain French
entities. Each quarter, the Consolidated and Statutory Financial
Statements of TOTAL S.A. are reviewed by the Audit Committee
and the Board of Directors.

The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared based on the
following principles:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

homogeneity of the accounting framework and standards; to
this end, the interpretation of accounting standards applicable
to the Consolidated Financial Statements is centralized by the
Group’s Accounting Department, which also distributes these
standards through formal procedures and an internal financial
reporting manual. The department monitors the effective
implementation of these standards through periodic formal
communication with managers of the business segments;
and

a supervised account closing process based mainly on
formalization of economic assumptions, judgments and
estimates, treatment of complex accounting transactions and
on respect of established timetables announced through
Group instructions disclosed to each entity.

Off-balance sheet commitments which are valued according to the
financial reporting manual are reported on a quarterly basis to the
Audit Committee.

Internal control of accounting information is mainly focused around
the following areas:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

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-Controlling Departments, 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
realized at each level of the organization;
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 at
each level of the organization; and
the Disclosure Committee ensures the application of the
procedures in place.

Because of the important contribution of the equity affiliates to the
Group’s aggregated financial items, an annual review of the control
on these companies’ financial statements is implemented based
on a detailed questionnaire completed by each entity. This system
is integrated into the Group’s internal control framework.

Other financial information

Proved oil and gas reserves are evaluated annually by the relevant
entities. They are reviewed by the Reserves Committee, approved
by Exploration & Production’s senior management and then
validated by the Group’s General Management. They are also
presented to the Audit Committee each year.

Items 16A - 16C

The internal control process related to estimating reserves is
formalized in a special procedure described in detail in “Item 4 —
B. Business Overview — 2.1.2. Reserves“, above). The reserves
evaluation and the related internal control processes are audited

Audit-related fees are generally fees billed for services that are closely related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements. These include
due diligence services related to business combinations, attestation services not required by statute or regulation, agreed upon or expanded auditing
procedures related to accounting or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or regulatory reporting matters, consultations
concerning financial accounting and reporting standards, information system reviews, internal control reviews and assistance with internal control reporting
requirements.
Tax fees are fees for services related to international and domestic tax compliance, including the preparation of tax returns and claims for refund, tax planning
and tax advice, including assistance with tax audits and tax appeals, and tax services regarding statutory, regulatory or administrative developments and
expatriate tax assistance and compliance.
All other fees are principally for risk management advisory services.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy

The Audit Committee has adopted an Audit and Non-Audit
Services Pre-Approval Policy that sets forth the procedures and
the conditions pursuant to which services proposed to be
performed by the statutory auditors may be pre-approved and that
are not prohibited by regulatory or other professional requirements.
This policy provides for both pre-approval of certain types of
services through the use of an annual budget approved by the
Audit Committee for these types of services and special pre-

Auditor’s term of office

French law provides that the statutory and alternate auditors are
appointed for renewable 6-fiscal year terms. The terms of office of
the statutory auditors and of the alternate auditors will expire at the
end of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting called in 2016 to approve
the financial statements for fiscal year 2015. At its meeting on

approval of services by the Audit Committee on a case-by-case
basis. The Audit Committee reviews on an annual basis the
services provided by the statutory auditors. During 2015, no audit-
related fees, tax fees or other non-audit fees were approved by the
Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception to the pre-
approval requirement provided by paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of
Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

March 15, 2016 and further to a proposal by the Audit Committee,
the Board of Directors decided to propose to the Annual
Shareholders’ Meeting of May 24, 2016 the renewal of the terms
of office of the statutory auditors for a 6-fiscal year term.

ITEM 16D. EXEMPTIONS FROM THE LISTING STANDARDS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES

TOTAL’s Audit Committee consists of four directors including three
directors who meet the independence requirements under
Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and one who is exempt under such requirements pursuant to the
Rule 10A-3(b)(1)(iv)(C) exemption for non-executive officer
employees. The Audit Committee member exempt from the

independence requirements under this rule is Mr. Charles Keller,
appointed as the director representing employee shareholders
pursuant to Article L.225-23 of the French Commercial Code (see
“Item 6 — C.1.4. Audit Committee”). TOTAL’s reliance on such
exemptions does not materially adversely affect the ability of the
Audit Committee to act independently.

ITEM 16G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Item 16G

This section presents a summary of significant differences between
French corporate governance practices and the NYSE’s corporate
governance standards, as required by section 303A.11 of the
NYSE Listed Company Manual.

1.1.

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 for Listed Companies published in
December 2008 (as amended in April 2010,June 2013 and
November 2015) by the principal French business confederations,
the Association Française des Entreprises Privées (AFEP) and the
Mouvement des Entreprises de France (MEDEF) (the “AFEP-
MEDEF Code”).

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 nominating
committees) and the independence criteria for board members.
Articles L. 820-1 et seq. of the French Commercial Code prohibits
statutory auditors from providing certain non-audit services and
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,
see “Item 6 — C. Board Practices and Corporate Governance”.

1.2.

Composition of Board of Directors; Independence

The NYSE listing standards provide that the board of directors of a
U.S.-listed company must consist of 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 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) at least half of the members of the
board of directors be independent in companies that have a
dispersed ownership structure and no controlling shareholder, and
(ii) at least a third of the members of the board of directors be
independent in companies that have a controlling shareholder.
Members of the board representing employees and employee
shareholders are not taken into account in order to determine 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 of
either that may colour his or her judgment.” The AFEP-MEDEF
Code also enumerates specific criteria for determining
independence, which are on the whole consistent with the goals of
the NYSE’s rules, including recent amendments, although the
specific tests under the two standards may vary on some points.

For an overview of the Board of Directors’ assessment of the
independence of the Company’s Directors, including a description
of the Board’s independence criteria, refer to “Item 6 — A.1.4.
Director independence”.

1.3.

Representation of women on corporate boards

French commercial law provides for legally binding quotas to boost
the percentage of women on boards of directors of French-listed
companies, requiring that women represent: (i) at least 20%
following the first ordinary shareholders’ meeting held after
January 1, 2014, and (ii) at least 40% following the first ordinary
shareholders’ meeting held after January 1, 2017. Members of the
board representing the employees are not taken into account in
order to determine these percentages. When the board of
directors consists of less than nine members, the difference
between the number of directors of each gender when the 40%
quota will apply should not be higher than two. Any appointment
of a director made in violation of these rules shall be declared null
and void and the payment of the directors’ compensation shall be
suspended until the board composition complies with the law’s
requirements (the management report shall also indicate the
suspension of the directors’ compensation until the board
composition complies with the law’s requirements). However,
decisions of a board of directors that fail to comply with these
quotas may not be declared null and void. In addition, the AFEP-
MEDEF Code recommends compliance with said 40% quota
within a period of six years from the date of the 2010 annual
ordinary shareholders’ meeting. As of February 10, 2016, the
Company’s Board had four female members (36.4%(1) of the
Directors).

1.4.

Board committees

1.4.1. 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

(1)

As per French law and the AFEP-MEDEF Code, the director representing employees shall be excluded for the computation of the gender percentage. As of February 10,
2016, the gender percentage is 36.4%, because four Board seats are held by women out of a total of eleven seats (excluding the director representing the employees of
TOTAL’s Board of Directors).

2015 Form 20-F TOTAL S.A.

157

Item 16G

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 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 an audit committee, a nominating
committee and a compensation committee, indicating that the
nominating and compensation committees may form only one
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
nominating committee be independent directors, it being specified
that the chairman of the compensation committee should be
independent, and that none of these three committees should
include any executive director.

TOTAL has established an Audit Committee, a Governance and
Ethics Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Strategic
Committee. As of December 31, 2015, the composition of these
committees was as follows:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

The Audit Committee had four members. With the exception
of the director representing the employee shareholders,
Mr. Keller (see “— 1.4.2. Audit committee”, below, and “Item
16D. Exemptions from the listing standards for audit
committees”), all members of this committee have been
deemed independent by the Board of Directors.
The Governance and Ethics Committee had five members.
With the exception of Mr. Desmarest, all members of this
committee have been deemed independent by the Board of
Directors.
The Compensation Committee had four members, all of
whom have been deemed independent by the Board of
Directors.
The Strategic Committee had seven members. With the
exception of Messrs. Pouyanné, who chairs the committee,
and Desmarest and the director representing the employees
(Mr. Blanc), all members of this committee have been
deemed independent by the Board of Directors.

For a description of the scope of each committee’s activity and the
independence assessment of each member, see “Item 6 —
C.1.Practices of the Board of Directors”.

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, these 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 on these matters to the
board of directors. Under French law, the board of directors has
the final decision-making authority.

1.4.2. 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.

158

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

French law requires the board of directors of companies listed in
France to establish an audit committee (Article L. 823-19 of the
French Commercial Code), at least one member of which must be
an independent director and must be competent in finance or
accounting. 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 director.
Under NYSE rules, in the absence of an applicable exemption,
audit committees are required to comply with in the independence
requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. TOTAL’s Audit
Committee consists of four directors including three directors who
meet the independence requirements under Rule 10A-3, and one
who is exempt under such requirements pursuant to the Rule 10A-
3(b)(1)(iv)(C) exemption for non-executive officer employees. The
Audit Committee member exempt from the independence
requirements under this rule is Mr. Keller, the director representing
employee shareholders (see “Item 6 — C.1.4. Audit Committee”).

Pursuant to French law and the AFEP-MEDEF Code, the audit
committee is responsible for, among other things, reviewing the
financial statements and ensuring the relevance and consistency of
accounting methods used in drawing up the consolidated and
corporate accounts, examining the company’s risk exposure and
material off-balance sheet commitments and the scope of
consolidation, monitoring the process for the preparation of
financial information, monitoring the efficiency of internal control
procedures and risk management systems, managing the process
of selecting statutory auditors, expressing an opinion on the
amount of their fees and monitoring compliance with rules
designed to ensure auditor independence, regularly interviewing
statutory auditors without the executive management being
present and calling upon outside experts if necessary.

Although the audit committee requirements under French law and
recommendations under the AFEP-MEDEF Code are less detailed
than those contained in the NYSE listing standards, French law
and the AFEP-MEDEF Code share the goal of establishing a
system for overseeing the company’s accounting that is
independent from management and that ensures auditor
independence. As a result, they address similar topics, and there
is some overlap.

For the specific tasks performed by the Audit Committee of TOTAL
that exceed those required by French law and those
recommended by the AFEP-MEDEF Code, see “Item 6 — C.1.4.
Audit Committee”.

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 committee’s involvement in
managing the relationship between the company and the auditor.
French law requires French companies that publish consolidated
financial statements, such as TOTAL S.A., to have two co-
auditors. While the NYSE listing standards require that the audit
committee of a U.S.-listed company 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-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, the decision of the latter being taken upon
consultation with the audit committee. The shareholders elect the
auditors for an audit period of six fiscal years. The auditors may
only be dismissed by a court and only on grounds of professional
negligence or incapacity to perform their mission.

1.5.

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 non-executive directors meet
periodically without the executive (or “in-house”) directors.

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 February 2016, the part of the meeting during which the Board
discussed the evaluation of the performance of the Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer and the determination of his compensation
was chaired by the Lead Independent Director.

Thus, the Board of Directors’ practice constitutes a mechanism
that has the same effect as the recommendation made in the
AFEP-MEDEF Code.

1.6.

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 NYSE’s 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-

Items 16G - 18

listed company performs an annual review of its operation and a
formal evaluation at least once every three years, implemented
under the leadership of the appointments or nominations
committee or an independent director, with help from an external
consultant (which for TOTAL took place in early 2016). The AFEP-
MEDEF Code also recommends that the board of directors review
its composition, organization and operation and that shareholders
be informed of these evaluations each year in the annual report. In
addition, Article L. 225-37 of the French Commercial Code
provides that the chairman of the board of directors annually must
describe in a report to the shareholders the composition of the
board and the balanced representation of men and women in the
board, the preparation and organization of the board’s work, as
well as the internal control and risk management procedures
implemented by the company. The AFEP-MEDEF Code also
includes ethical rules concerning which directors are expected to
comply.

1.7.

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. There is no similar
requirement under French law. However, under the SEC’s 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 officer 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 SEC’s rules. For a discussion of the code of ethics
adopted by TOTAL, see “Item 6. C. Board Practices and
Corporate Governance”, “Item 15. 4. Internal control and risk
management procedures (Article L. 225-37 of the French
Commercial Code)” and “Item 16B. Code of Ethics”.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMS ON THE
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Year ended December 31, 2015

The Board of Directors and Shareholders,

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TOTAL S.A. and subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2015,
2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity
for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of the Company as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015, 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), the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework
(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 15, 2016
expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMS ON THE INTERNAL
CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Year ended December 31, 2015

The Board of Directors and Shareholders,

We have audited TOTAL S.A. and subsidiaries’ (“the Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on
criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO). The Company’s 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 Management’s Annual Report on
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 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.

A company’s 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 company’s 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 company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

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.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015,
based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO).

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income,
comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
2015, and our report dated March 15, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

TOTAL

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

On February 10, 2016, the Board of Directors established and
authorized the publication of the Consolidated Financial
Statements of TOTAL S.A. for the year ended December 31, 2015,
which will be submitted for approval to the shareholders’ meeting
to be held on May 24, 2016.

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.

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, 2015.

The accounting policies and principles applied in the Consolidated
Financial Statements as of December 31, 2015 were the same as
those that were used as of December 31, 2014 except for
standards, amendments and interpretations of IFRS which were
mandatory for the periods beginning after January 1, 2015 (and
not early adopted). Their application did not have a significant
impact on the financial statements as of December 31, 2015.

Major judgments and accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS
for the closing as of December 31, 2015 requires the executive
management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions
considered reasonable, which affect the consolidated financial
statements and their notes. Different estimates, assumptions and
judgments could have significant impacts on the consolidated
financial statements and their notes and consequently the final
achievements could also be different from the amounts included in
the consolidated financial statements.

These estimates, assumptions and judgments are regularly
reviewed if circumstances change or as a result of new information
or changes in the Group’s experience; they could therefore be
significantly changed later.

The main estimates, judgments and assumptions can have a
significant impact in the following cases:

(cid:129) 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 Group’s oil and gas reserves are estimated by the Group’s
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

F-8

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

The Successful Efforts method of accounting is presented in Note
1 “Accounting principles” section H.

For mineral interests and property and equipment of exploration
and production, see Notes 10 and 11.

(cid:129)

Impairment of assets

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 solar 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.

The paragraph L of Note 1 “Accounting principles” describes the
method applied for the impairment of fixed assets.

For asset impairment, see section D of Note 4 “Information by
business segment”.

(cid:129) 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
advices.

The section R of Note 1 “Accounting principles” describes the
methods applied for employee benefits accounting.

For employee benefits, see Note 18.

(cid:129) 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.

Section Q of Note 1 “Accounting policies” describes the methods
used to account for asset retirement obligations.

For asset retirement obligations, see Note 19 “Provisions and other
non-current liabilities”.

(cid:129)

Income Taxes

A tax liability is recognized when a future payment, in application of
a tax regulation, 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 future taxable profits estimated
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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Depending on the circumstances, they are final only after
negotiations or resolution of disputes with authorities that can last
several years.

Section F of Note 1 “Accounting policies” describes the
accounting methods for income taxes. For the income tax, see
Note 9.

(cid:129)

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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 1

1) Accounting policies

Pursuant to the accrual basis of accounting followed by the Group,
the financial statements reflect the effects of transactions and
other events when they occur. Assets and liabilities such as
property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are usually
measured at cost. Assets and liabilities are measured at fair value
when required by the standards.

Accounting policies used by the Group are described below:

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, assumed liabilities and any non-controlling
interest in the companies acquired by the Group at their fair value.

The value of the purchase price is finalized up to a maximum of
one year from the acquisition date.

The acquirer shall recognize goodwill at the acquisition date, being
the excess of:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

The consideration transferred, the amount of non-controlling
interests and, in business combinations achieved in stages,
the fair value at the acquisition date of the investment
previously held in the acquired company;
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 residual negative goodwill
is recorded as income.

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 Group’s Consolidated Financial
Statements is the U.S. 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”.

F-10

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

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.

(i) Monetary transactions

Transactions denominated in foreign 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 denominated in

foreign currencies

Assets and liabilities of foreign entities are translated into dollars 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.

D) Sales and revenues from sales

Sales figures 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.

(i) Sales of goods

Revenues from sales are recognized when the significant risks and
rewards of ownership have been passed to the buyer and when
the amount is recoverable and can be reasonably measured.

Revenues from sales of crude oil, natural gas and coal 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 volumes sold during
the period. Any difference between volumes sold and entitlement
volumes, based on the Group net working interest, is recognized
as “Crude oil and natural gas inventories” or “Other current assets”
or “Other creditors and accrued liabilities”, as appropriate.

Quantities delivered that represent production royalties and taxes,
when paid in cash, are included in oil and gas sales, 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.

(ii) 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.

(iii) Solar Farm Development Projects

SunPower develops and sells solar farm projects. This activity
generally contains a property component (land ownership or an
interest in land rights). The revenue associated with the
development of these projects is recognized when the project-
entities and land rights are irrevocably sold.

Revenues under contracts for construction of solar systems are
recognized based on the progress of construction works,
measured according to the percentage of costs incurred relative to
total forecast costs.

E) Share-based payments

The Group may grant employees stock options, create employee
share purchase 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 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. A discount reduces the expense in order to account for
the non-transferability of the shares awarded to the employees
over a period of five years.

F) Income taxes

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).

Note 1 – Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

G) Earnings per share

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) and TOTAL shares held by the
Group subsidiaries 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., and TOTAL shares held
by the Group subsidiaries 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 stock options, 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.

H) Oil and gas exploration and producing properties

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.

(i) Exploration costs

Geological and geophysical costs, including seismic surveys for
exploration purposes are expensed as incurred.

Mineral interests are capitalized as intangible assets when
acquired. These acquired interests are tested for impairment on a
regular basis, property-by-property, based on the results of the
exploratory activity and the management’s evaluation.

In the event of a discovery, the unproved mineral interests are
transferred to proved mineral interests at their net book value as
soon as proved reserves are booked.

Exploratory wells are tested for impairment on a well-by-well basis
and accounted for 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 dry wells and wells that have not found proved
reserves are charged to expense;
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:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

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

2015 Form 20-F TOTAL S.A.

F-11

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 1

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 expense.

(ii) Oil and Gas producing assets

Development costs incurred for the drilling of development wells
and for the construction of production facilities are capitalized,
together with borrowing costs incurred during the period of
construction and the present value of estimated future costs of
asset retirement obligations. The depletion rate 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, this computation 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.

Proved mineral interests are depreciated using the unit-of-
production method based on proved reserves.

I) Goodwill and other intangible assets excluding
mineral interests

Other intangible assets include goodwill, patents, trademarks, and
lease rights.

Intangible assets are carried at cost, after deducting any
accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Guidance for calculating goodwill is presented in Note 1 paragraph
B to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Goodwill is not
amortized but is tested for impairment annually or as soon as there
is any indication of impairment (see Note 1 paragraph L to the
Consolidated Financial Statements).

In equity affiliates, goodwill is included in the investment book
value.

Other intangible assets (except goodwill) have a finite useful life
and are amortized on a straight-line basis over between three to
twenty years depending on the useful life of the assets.

Research and development

Research costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Development expenses are capitalized when the criteria of IAS38
are met.

Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred.

J) 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

F-12

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

attributable to the acquisition or production of a qualifying asset
incurred until assets are placed in service. Borrowing costs are
capitalized as follows:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

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 Group’s 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:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

Furniture, office equipment, machinery
and tools

Storage tanks and related equipment
Specialized complex installations and
pipelines
Buildings

3-12 years

5-20 years
10-15 years
10-30 years

10-50 years

K) Leases

A finance lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards
incidental to ownership from the lessor to the lessee. These
contracts are capitalized as assets at fair value or, if lower, at the
present value of the minimum lease payments according to the
contract. A corresponding financial debt is recognized as a
financial liability. These assets are depreciated over the
corresponding useful life used by the Group.

Leases that are not finance leases as defined above are recorded
as operating leases.

Certain arrangements do not take the legal form of a lease but
convey the right to use an asset or a group of assets in return for
fixed payments. Such arrangements are accounted for as leases
and are analyzed to determine whether they should be classified
as operating leases or as finance leases.

L) Impairment of long-lived assets

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 its value in use.

Assets are grouped into cash-generating units (or CGUs) and
tested. A CGU is a homogeneous group 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, based upon the
management’s expectation of future economic and operating
conditions. When this value is less than the carrying amount of the
CGU, an impairment loss is recorded. It is allocated first to
goodwill with a corresponding amount in “Other expenses”. These
impairment 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 for goodwill cannot be
reversed.

M) Financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are financial loans and receivables,
investments in non-consolidated companies, publicly traded equity
securities, derivatives instruments and current and non-current
financial liabilities.

The accounting treatment of these financial assets and liabilities is
as follows:

(i)

Loans and receivables

Financial loans and receivables are recognized at amortized cost.
They are tested for impairment, by comparing the carrying amount
of the assets to estimates of the discounted future recoverable
cash flows. These tests are conducted as soon as there is any
evidence that their fair value is less than their carrying amount, and
at least annually. Any impairment loss is recorded in the statement
of income.

(ii) Other investments

These assets are classified as financial assets available for sale
and therefore measured at their fair value. For listed securities, this
fair value is equal to the market price. For unlisted securities, if the
fair value is not reliably determinable, the securities are recorded at
their historical value. Changes in fair value are recorded in other
comprehensive income. If there is any evidence of a significant or
long-lasting impairment loss, a loss is recorded in the statement of
income. This impairment is irreversible.

(iii) Derivative instruments

The Group uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to
risks of changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and
commodity prices. 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 described in Note 31 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements. 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 used for
transactions (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:

i.

Fair value hedge of the interest rate risk on the external
debt and of the currency risk of 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 “Hedging
instruments on non-current financial debt” or in liabilities

Note 1 – Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

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:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

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.

ii.

Cash flow hedge of the currency risk of 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. Amounts recorded in
equity are transferred to the income statement when the
hedged transaction affects profit or loss.

The fair value of those hedging instruments of long-term
financing is included in assets under “Hedging
instruments on non-current financial debt” 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.

–

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 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”.

–

Financial instruments related to commodity contracts, forward
freight agreements

Financial instruments related to commodity contracts, including
crude oil, petroleum products, gas, power and coal 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
Group’s 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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 1

Detailed information about derivatives positions is disclosed in
Notes 20, 28, 29, 30 and 31 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

(iv) Current and non-current financial liabilities

Current and non-current financial liabilities (excluding derivatives)
are recognized at amortized cost, except those for which hedge
accounting can be applied as described in the previous paragraph
(iii) Derivative instruments.

N) Inventories

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 and other inventories are measured
using the weighted-average cost method.

In addition stocks held for trading are measured at fair value less
costs of sale.

(v) Fair value of financial instruments

Refining & Chemicals

Fair values are estimated for the majority of the Group’s 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 zero coupon interest rate curves existing
at year-end.

–

Financial instruments related to commodity contracts

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.

–

Other financial instruments

The fair value of the interest rate swaps and of FRA’s (Forward
Rate Agreements) are calculated by discounting future cash flows
on the basis of zero coupon interest rate 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 the Garman-Kohlhagen
model including market quotations at year-end.

(vi) 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).

F-14

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

Petroleum product inventories are mainly comprised of crude oil
and refined products. Refined products principally consist of
gasoline, kerosene, diesel, fuel oil and heating oil produced by the
Group’s refineries. The turnover of petroleum products does not
exceed more than 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 cost price of refined and
chemicals products.

Marketing & Services

The costs of refined products include mainly crude oil costs,
production costs (energy, labor, depreciation of producing assets)
and an allocation of production overheads (taxes, maintenance,
insurance, etc.).

Start-up costs, 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.

O) Treasury shares

Treasury shares of the parent company held by its subsidiaries or
itself are deducted from consolidated shareholders’ equity. Gains
or losses on sales of treasury shares are excluded from the
determination of net income and are recognized in shareholders’
equity.

P) Provisions and other non-current liabilities

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.

Q) 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.

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 by reference to the
high quality rates for AA-rated Corporate bonds 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”.

R) Employee benefits

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”.

S) Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows prepared in foreign
currencies has been translated into dollars using the exchange rate
on the transaction date or the average exchange rate for the
period. Currency translation differences arising from the translation
of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency
into dollars using the closing exchange rates are shown in the
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows under “Effect of exchange
rates”. Therefore, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows will
not agree with the figures derived from the Consolidated Balance
Sheet.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash on hand and
highly liquid short-term investments that are easily convertible into
known amounts of cash and are subject to insignificant risks of
changes in value.

Investments with maturity greater than three months and less than
twelve months are shown under “Current financial assets”.

Changes in current financial assets and liabilities are included in
the financing activities section of the Consolidated Statement of
Cash Flows.

Non-current financial debt

Changes in non-current financial debt are presented as the net
variation to reflect significant changes mainly related to revolving
credit agreements.

Note 1 – Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

T) 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:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

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 restorations of emission rights consist of
decreases in inventories recognized based on a
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.

–

–

–

U) 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 ESC’s 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 ESC’s held exceeds the
obligation at the balance sheet date this is accounted for as
inventory,
ESC inventories are valued at weighted average cost
(acquisition cost for those ESC’s acquired or cost incurred for
those ESC’s 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.

V) Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued
operations

Pursuant to IFRS 5 “Non-current assets held for sale and
discontinued operations”, assets and liabilities of affiliates that are
held for sale are presented separately on the face of the balance
sheet. Depreciation of assets ceases from the date of classification
in “Non-current assets held for sale”.

Net income from discontinued operations is presented separately
on the face of the statement of income. Therefore, the notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements related to the statement of
income only refer to continuing operations.

December 31, 2015

In May 2014, the IASB issued standard IFRS 15 that includes
requirements for the recognition of revenue from contracts
with customers. The standard is applicable for annual periods
starting on or after January 1, 2018. The impacts of the
application of this standard are under analysis.
In July 2014, the IASB issued standard IFRS 9 “Financial
Instruments” that includes requirements for the recognition
and measurement of financial instruments. This standard
brings together three phases: classification and
measurement, impairment of financial assets and hedge
accounting excluding macro-hedging. The standard is
applicable for annual periods starting on or after
January 1, 2018. The impacts of the application of this
standard are under analysis.
In addition, in January 2016, the IASB issued standard IFRS
16, which sets out the principles for recognition of leases
contracts. The standard is applicable for annual periods
starting on or after January 1, 2019. The impacts of the
application of this standard are under analysis.

2) Main indicators – information by business
segment

Performance indicators excluding the adjustment items, such as
adjusted operating income, adjusted net operating income, and
adjusted net income are meant to facilitate the analysis of the
financial performance and the comparison of income between
periods.

Adjustment items

The detail of these adjustment items is presented in Note 4 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 competitors.

F-16

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

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.

(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 TOTAL’s 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 Group’s
internal economic performance. IFRS precludes recognition of this
fair value effect.

Main 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 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 above.

(iv) Fully-diluted adjusted earnings per share

Adjusted net income divided by the fully-diluted weighted-average
number of common shares.

(v) Capital employed

Non-current assets and working capital, at replacement cost, net
of deferred income taxes and non-current liabilities.

(vi) 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.

(vii) ROE (Return on Equity)

Ratio of adjusted consolidated net income to average adjusted
shareholders’ equity (after distribution) between the beginning and
the end of the period.

(viii) Net debt

Non-current debt, including current portion, current borrowings,
other current financial liabilities less cash and cash equivalents and
other current financial assets.

3) Changes in the Group structure, main
acquisitions and divestments

B) ROE (Return on Equity)

The Group evaluates the return on equity as the ratio of adjusted
consolidated net income to average adjusted shareholders’ equity
between the beginning and the end of the period. Thus, adjusted

The ROE is calculated as follows:

For the year ended December 31, (M$)

Adjusted net income — Group share
Adjusted non-controlling interests

The main adjustment items for 2015 are the following:

These impairments were mainly recognized on the following items:

Note 4 – Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1) The line “Gains (losses) on disposals of assets” includes the
2015 gains and losses on disposals, mainly, in the Upstream
segment with the sales of the Group’s interests in onshore blocks
in Nigeria, in the Refining & Chemicals segment with the sales of
Bostik, Geosel and the Group’s interest in the Schwedt refinery in
Germany and in the Marketing & Services segment with the sale of
Totalgaz.

2) The line “Asset impairment charges” ($6,877 million in operating
income and $5,447 million in net income, Group share) includes:

2.1) Asset impairment charges for an amount of $5,749 million

in operating income and $4,883 million in net income, Group
share.

2.1.1) The Group performed an evaluation of the Cash

Generating Units (CGU) for which there were indicators of
impairment, mostly due to changes in the operating conditions or
the economic environment of their specific businesses.

The principles applied are as follows:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

the recoverable amount of the CGUs was determined
based on their value in use, as defined in Note 1
paragraph L to the Consolidated Financial Statements
“Impairment of long-lived assets”;
the future cash flows were determined using the
assumptions included in the 2016 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 future prices of
products, operational costs, estimation of oil and gas
reserves, future volumes produced and marketed,
represent the best estimate of the Group management
of all economic and technical conditions over the
remaining life of the assets.

Future oil and natural gas prices were determined based on short
term assumptions reflecting the decrease observed in 2015 as well
as a gradual recovery over eight years towards the long term
estimated prices. As of December 31, 2015, these price
assumptions reflecting the Group’s strategic vision are consistent
with a panel of several external studies.

The future operational costs were determined by taking into
account, on the one hand, the existing technologies and, on the
other hand, internal cost reduction programs effectively
implemented.

The future cash flows are estimated over a period consistent with
the life of the assets of the CGU. They are prepared post-tax and
take into account specific risks related to the CGU’s 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 2014 and 8% in 2013. 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 range
from 7% to 17% in 2015.

The CGUs for the Upstream 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 year 2015, impairments of assets were recognized over CGUs
of the Upstream segment for an impact of $3,636 million in
operating income and $2,791 million in net income, Group share.

–

–

–

–

Assets related to the GLNG project in Australia, for an
amount of $1,491 million in operating income and
$1,356 million in net income, Group share;
Gas assets in the United Kingdom, for an amount of
$584 million in operating income and $292 million in net
income, Group share;
assets in the United States of America, for an amount of
$413 million in operating income and $267 million in net
income, Group share;
Various assets, for an amount of $1,148 million in
operating income and $876 million in net income, Group
share (mainly in Angola, Gabon, Bolivia, Nigeria).

As for the sensitivity analysis:

–

–

–

a decrease by one point in the discount rate would have
a positive impact of approximately $0.8 billion in
operating income and approximately $0.5 billion in net
income, Group share;
an increase by one point in the discount rate would have
a negative impact of approximately $1.3 billion in
operating income and approximately $0.8 billion in net
income, Group share;
a variation of (10)% of the oil and gas prices would have
an additional negative impact of approximately
$3.1 billion in operating income and $2.1 billion in net
income, Group share.

The most sensitive assets would be:

–

–

the assets already impaired (impact of approximately
$1.7 billion in operating income and $1.1 billion in net
income, Group share), including GLNG in Australia, gas
assets in the United Kingdom and assets in the United
States of America.
other assets under construction (impact of approximately
$1.4 billion in operating income and $1.0 billion in net
income, Group share), including projects in Canada and
Kazakhstan.

The CGUs for the Refining & Chemicals segment are defined by
the legal entities having the operating activities for the refining and
petrochemical activities. The cash flows of these CGUs are
determined using the gross contribution margin (calculated based
on sales minus purchases of crude oil and refined products, the
effect of inventory valuation and variable costs). The CGUs for 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. In 2015, there was no
indicator of impairment for this segment, therefore, no impairments
were recognized by the Group.

The CGUs of the Marketing & Services segment are subsidiaries or
groups of subsidiaries organized by relevant geographical zone.
For the year 2015 the Group recognized impairments on CGUs of
the Marketing & Services segment for an amount of $92 million in
net income, Group share.

These impairments relate mainly to the intangible assets of
SunPower, following the deterioration of the economic
environment of the solar activity.

2.1.2) Additional impairments were recognized in 2015 for an
amount of $2,113 million in operating income and $2,000 million in
net income, Group share on the following assets:

–

Assets, that, prior to their sale, were classified, at the end of
each concerned quarter, in “assets held for sale”:

(cid:129)

the oil sands assets of the Fort Hills project in Canada. In
order to limit its exposure in the oil sands in Canada and

2015 Form 20-F TOTAL S.A.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – Notes 4 to 6

to reduce the future investments in the project, the
Group decided to sell 10% of its interests in the project;
the Coal assets in South Africa, following the Group’s
decision to withdraw from the coal activity;
assets in Russia.

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

Assets located in countries with geopolitical instability, such
as in Libya and Yemen. In these two countries, production is
stopped since the first quarter of 2015 following a significant
deterioration in the safety conditions.
Exploration assets (mineral interests). Because of the current
economic environment, the Group decided to stop some
potential development projects, rendering the associated
mineral interests worthless.
In the Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services
segments, the Group decided to discontinue some
development and production projects because of a lack of
future profitability.

–

–

–

2.1.3) In 2014, the Group recognized impairments of assets in the
Upstream, Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services
segments for an impact of $7,979 million in operating income and
of $7,063 million in net income, Group share. These impairments
were qualified as adjustments items of the operating income and
net income, Group share.

In 2013, the Group recognized impairments of assets in the
Upstream, Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services
segments for an impact of $1,043 million in operating income and
of $773 million in net income, Group share.

These impairments were qualified as adjustments items of the
operating income and net income, Group share.

No reversal of impairment was accounted for in respect of the
years 2013, 2014 and 2015.

2.2) Regarding the USAN assets in Nigeria (impact of $1,128
million in operating income and $564 million in net income, Group
share), given the negotiations with the potential acquirer were
unsuccessful, the Group decided to reclassify them from “assets
classified as held for sale” to tangible assets, taking into account a
catch-up depreciation charge for the depreciation previously not
recognized in accordance with the IFRS 5 standard.

3) “Other elements” amount to $1,257 million in operating income
and $966 million in net income, Group share and mainly include:

–

–

–

–

The write-off of some exploratory drilling costs previously
capitalized, in relation with potential development projects
that the Group decided to discontinue due to the current
economic environment;
Charges related to assets in Yemen and Libya following the
shutdown of production in relation with the significant
deterioration of the safety conditions;
A charge following the resolution of a dispute in Qatar and of
a gas transportation contract in the United States of America;

The difference between the French tax rate and the tax rates of foreign subsidiaries is mainly due to the taxation of profits made by the Group
in countries where it conducts its exploration and production activities at higher tax rates than French tax rates.

The French statutory tax rate includes the standard corporate tax rate (33.33%) and additional applicable taxes that bring the overall tax rate
to 38% (versus 38% in 2014 and 38% in 2013).

Permanent differences are mainly due to impairment of goodwill and to dividends from non-consolidated companies as well as the specific
taxation rules applicable to certain activities.

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.

amounted to $ 4,577 million as at December 31, 2015. Novatek is consolidated by the equity method. TOTAL considers, in fact, that it

dividends, repayment of advances or loans made.

17) Shareholders’ equity

Number of TOTAL shares

The Company’s common shares, par value €2.50, as of
December 31, 2015 are the only category of shares. Shares may
be held in either bearer or registered form.

Double voting rights are granted to holders of shares that are fully-
paid and held 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 to
restricted shares in the event of an increase in share capital by
incorporation of reserves, profits or premiums based on shares
already held that are entitled to double voting rights.

Pursuant to the Company’s 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 Company’s 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%.

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 Company’s shares.

The authorized share capital amounts to 3,467,448,093 shares as
of December 31, 2015 compared to 3,416,388,282 shares as of
December 31, 2014 and 3,417,495,344 as of December 31, 2013.
As of December 31, 2015 the share capital of TOTAL S.A.
amounted to €6,100,144,708.

Note 17 – Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

dividend. On October 21, 2015, 24,231,876 shares have
been issued at a price of €35.63 per share.

Issuance of perpetual subordinated notes

In 2015, the Group issued two tranches of perpetual subordinated
notes in EUR through TOTAL S.A.:

–

–

Deeply subordinated note 2.250% perpetual maturity
callable after 6 years (2,500 million EUR)
Deeply subordinated note 2.625% perpetual maturity
callable after 10 years (2,500 million EUR)

Based on their characteristics and in compliance with the IAS 32
standard — Financial instruments — Presentation, these notes
were recorded in equity.

As of December 31, 2015, the amount of the perpetual deeply
subordinated note booked in the Group shareholders’ equity is
$5,616 million. The coupons attributable to the holders of these
securities are booked in deduction of the Group shareholders’
equity for an amount of $114 million for fiscal year 2015 closing.
The tax saving due to these coupons is booked in the statement of
income.

Paid-in surplus

In accordance with French law, the paid-in surplus corresponds to
premiums related to shares, 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 in cases of a refund of shareholder contributions to.

As of December 31, 2015, paid-in surplus relating to TOTAL S.A.
amounted to €30,265 million (€28,319 million as of December 31,
2014 and €28,020 million as of December 31, 2013).

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
$630 million as of December 31, 2015 ($755 million as of
December 31, 2014 and $754 million as of December 31, 2013)

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 $159 million for defined
contribution plans in 2015 ($157 million in 2014).

they are usually funded (pension fund or insurer);
they are usually closed to new employees who benefit
from defined contribution pension plans; and
they are paid in annuity or in lump sum.

The discount rate retained is determined by reference to the high quality rates for AA-rated corporate bonds for a duration equivalent to that
of the obligations. It derives from a benchmark per monetary area of different market data at the closing date.

Sensitivity to inflation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is not material in the United States.

A 0.5% increase or decrease in discount rates — all other things being equal — would have the following approximate impact on the benefit

Changes in the asset retirement obligation

The discount rate used in 2015 for the valuation of asset retirement
obligation is 4.5% as in 2014 and 2013 (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 $860 million, with a corresponding impact in tangible
assets, and with a negative impact of approximately $50 million on
the following years net income. Conversely, an increase of 0.5% of
this rate would decrease the asset retirement obligation by $860
million and have a positive impact of approximately $50 million on
the following years net income.

failure of the guaranteed party to fulfill its obligation covered by the
guarantee, and no assets are held as collateral for these
guarantees. As of December 31, 2015, the maturities of these
guarantees are up to 2028.

Guarantees given against borrowings include the guarantee given
in 2008 by TOTAL S.A. in connection with the financing of the
Yemen LNG project for an amount of $551 million.

24) Related parties

Note 24 – Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In 2010, TOTAL S.A. provided guarantees in connection with the
financing of the Jubail project (operated by SAUDI ARAMCO
TOTAL Refining and Petrochemical Company (SATORP)) of up to
$3,188 million, proportional to TOTAL’s share in the project
(37.5%). In addition, in 2015, TOTAL S.A has confirmed and
extended guarantees for TOTAL Refining SAUDI ARABIA SAS
shareholders’ advances for an amount of $1,013 million.

As of December 31, 2015, the guarantees provided by TOTAL
S.A. in connection with the financing of the Ichthys LNG project
amounted to $6,580 million.

Indemnities related to sales of businesses

In the ordinary course of business, the Group executes contracts
involving standard indemnities for the oil industry and indemnities
specific to transactions such as sales of businesses. These
indemnities might include claims against any of the following:
environmental, tax and shareholder matters, intellectual property
rights, governmental regulations and employment-related matters,
dealer, supplier, and other commercial contractual relationships.
Performance under these indemnities would generally be triggered
by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third party claim. The
Group regularly evaluates the probability of having to incur costs
associated with these indemnities.

Other guarantees given

Non-consolidated subsidiaries

The Group also guarantees the current liabilities of certain non-
consolidated subsidiaries. Performance under these guarantees
would be triggered by a financial default of the entity.

Operating agreements

As part of normal ongoing business operations and consistent with
generally accepted and recognized industry practices, the Group
enters into numerous agreements with other parties. These
commitments are often entered into for commercial purposes, for
regulatory purposes or for other operating agreements.

C. Commitments received

Sales obligations

These amounts represent binding obligations under contractual
agreements to sell goods, including in particular unconditional
hydrocarbon sales contracts (except where an active, highly-liquid
market exists and when the volumes are expected to be re-sold
shortly after purchase).

The main transactions and receivable and payable balances with related parties (principally non-consolidated subsidiaries and equity
consolidated affiliates) are detailed as follows:

(Communication, Human Resources, Legal, Security, Strategy) and the Group Treasurer.

The performance shares, which are bought back by the Company
on the market, are finally granted to their beneficiaries after a 3-
year vesting period for the 2013, 2014 and 2015 Plans and a 2-
year vesting period for the previous plans, from the date of the
grant. The final grant is subject to a continued employment
condition and one performance condition for the 2013 and 2014
Plans and two performance conditions for the 2015 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.

2015 Plan

For the 2015 Plan, the Board of Directors decided that for senior
executives (other than the Chief Executive Officer), the final grant of
all shares will be subject to a continued employment condition and
two performance conditions. The two performance conditions are
the following:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

For 40% of the shares granted, the acquisition rate is
based on the average ROE (Return On Equity) of the
Group as published by the Group according to its
consolidated balance sheet and statement of income for
fiscal years 2015, 2016 and 2017. The acquisition rate:
Is equal to zero if the average ROE is less than
(cid:129)
6.5%
Varies on a straight line basis between 0% and 50%
if the average ROE is greater than or equal to 6.5%
and less than 9.5%
Varies on a straight line basis between 50% and
100% if the average ROE is greater than or equal to
9.5% and less than 14.5%
Is equal to 100% if the average ROE is greater than
or equal to 14.5%

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

For 60% of the shares granted, the acquisition rate is
based on the relative performance of TOTAL’s Adjusted
Net Income (ANI) compared to its peers (ExxonMobil,
Chevron, BP and Royal Dutch Shell). The ANI of the
Group is calculated on the consolidated financial
statements published by the Group for the fiscal years
2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. The ANI of the peers
are based on estimates calculated by a pool of top
brokers. The acquisition rate:

(cid:129)

Is equal to zero if the gap is less than -12%.

F-56

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

Varies on a straight line basis between 0% and 60%
if the gap is greater than -12% and less than 0%
Varies on a straight line basis between 60% and
100% if the gap is greater than 0% and less than
12%
Is equal to 100% if the gap is greater than or equal
to 12%

The Board of Directors also decided that for each beneficiary of
more than 150 shares (other than the Chief Executive Officer and
the senior executives), and subject to the continuous employment
condition, the shares in excess of this threshold will be subject to
the performance conditions described above and will finally be
granted if such performance conditions are met.

In addition, concerning the performance shares granted to the
Chief Executive Officer, the Board of Directors decided that,
subject to a continuous employment condition, the number of the
performance shares finally granted to the Chief Executive Officer
under the 2015 plan, would be subject to three performance
conditions:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

For 20% of the shares granted, the acquisition rate is
based on the average ROE of the Group as published by
the Group according to its consolidated balance sheet
and statement of income for fiscal years 2015, 2016 and
2017 and calculated as stated above.
For 20% of the shares granted, the acquisition rate is
based on the average of Return on Average Capital
Employed (ROACE) as published by the Group
according to its consolidated balance sheet and
statement of income for fiscal years 2015, 2016 and
2017. The acquisition rate:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

Is equal to zero if the average ROACE is less than
6.5%.
Varies on a straight line basis between 0% and 50%
if the average ROACE is greater than or equal to
6.5% and less than or equal to 9%
Varies on a straight line basis between 50% and
100% if the average ROACE is greater than or
equal to 9% and less than or equal to 13%
Is equal to 100% if the average ROACE is greater
than 13%

(cid:129)

For 60% of the shares granted, the number of shares is
based on the evolution of the ANI (adjusted net income)
of TOTAL, compared to a panel of four other oil and gas
companies, as stated above.

2013 and 2014 Plans

For the 2013 and 2014 Plans, the Board of Directors decided that
for senior executives (other than the former Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer), the final grant of all shares will be subject to a
continued employment condition and a performance condition.

The performance condition states that the number of shares finally
granted is based on the average ROE of the Group as published
by the Group according to its consolidated balance sheet and
statement of income for fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015 for the
2013 Plan and for fiscal years 2014, 2015 and 2016 for the 2014
Plan. The acquisition rate:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

is equal to zero if the average ROE is less than or equal
to 8%;
varies on a straight-line basis between 0% and 100% if
the average ROE is greater than 8% and less than 16%;
and
is equal to 100% if the average ROE is greater than or
equal to 16%.

The Board of Directors also decided that for each beneficiary of
more than 100 shares (other than the former Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer and the senior executives), and subject to the
continuous employment condition, the shares in excess of this
threshold will be subject to the performance condition described
above and will be finally granted provided such performance
condition is met.

In addition, the Board of Directors had decided that, subject to a
continuous employment condition, the number of performance
shares finally granted to the former Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer would be subject to two performance conditions:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

For 50% of the shares granted, the performance
condition stated that the acquisition rate would have
been based on the average ROE of the Group as
published by the Group according to its consolidated
balance sheet and statement of income for the three
reference fiscal years as defined above.
For 50% of the shares granted, the performance
condition stated that the acquisition rate would have
been based on the average ROACE of the Group as
published by the Group according to its consolidated
balance sheet and statement of income for the three
reference fiscal years. The acquisition rate would have
been equal to zero if the average ROACE had been less
than or equal to 7%; would have varied on a straight-line
basis between 0% and 100% if the average ROACE had
been more than 7% and less than 15%; and would have
been equal to 100% if the average ROACE had been
more than or equal to 15%.

C. SunPower plans

SunPower has three stock incentive plans: the 1996 Stock Plan
(“1996 Plan”), the Third Amended and Restated 2005 SunPower
Corporation Stock Incentive Plan (“2005 Plan”) and the PowerLight

Note 25 – Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Corporation Common Stock Option and Common Stock Purchase
Plan (“PowerLight Plan”). The PowerLight Plan was assumed by
SunPower by way of the acquisition of PowerLight in fiscal 2007.
Under the terms of all three plans, SunPower may issue incentive
or non-statutory stock options or stock purchase rights to
directors, employees and consultants to purchase common stock.
The 2005 Plan was adopted by SunPower’s Board of Directors in
August 2005, and was approved by shareholders in November
2005. The 2005 Plan replaced the 1996 Plan and allows not only
for the grant of options, but also for the grant of stock appreciation
rights, restricted stock grants, restricted stock units and other
equity rights. The 2005 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 PowerLight Plan was adopted by
PowerLight’s Board of Directors in October 2000.

In May 2008, SunPower’s stockholders approved an automatic
annual increase available for grant under the 2005 Plan, beginning
in fiscal 2009. The automatic annual increase is equal to the lower
of three percent of the outstanding shares of all classes of
SunPower’s common stock measured on the last day of the
immediately preceding fiscal quarter, 6.0 million shares, or such
other number of shares as determined by SunPower’s Board of
Directors. As of January 3, 2016, approximately 7.2 million shares
were available for grant under the 2005 Plan. In fiscal 2014,
SunPower’s Board of Directors voted not to add the three percent
annual increase at the beginning of fiscal 2015. In fiscal 2015,
SunPower’s Board of Directors voted to reduce the stock incentive
plan’s automatic increase from 3% to 2% for 2016. No new
awards are being granted under the 1996 Plan or the PowerLight
Plan.

Incentive stock options may be granted at no less than the fair
value of the common stock on the date of grant. Non-statutory
stock options and stock purchase rights may be granted at no less
than 85% of the fair value of the common stock at the date of
grant. The options and rights become exercisable when and as
determined by SunPower’s Board of Directors, although these
terms generally do not exceed ten years for stock options. Under
the 1996 and 2005 Plans, the options typically vest over five years
with a one-year cliff and monthly vesting thereafter. Under
the PowerLight Plan, the options typically vest over five years with
yearly cliff vesting. Under the 2005 Plan, the restricted stock grants
and restricted stock units typically vest in three equal installments
annually over three years.

The majority of shares issued are net of the minimum statutory
withholding requirements that SunPower pays on behalf of its
employees. During fiscal 2015, 2014, and 2013, SunPower
withheld 1,380,891 shares, 1,738,625 shares and 1,329,140
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.

SunPower estimates the fair value of the restricted stock unit awards as the stock price on the grant date.
Restricted stock awards and units vested include shares withheld on behalf of employees to satisfy the minimum statutory tax withholding requirements.

D. Share-based payment expense

Share-based payment expense before tax for the year 2015
amounted to $179 million and was broken down as follows:

(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)

$71 million for TOTAL restricted shares plans;
$78 million for SunPower plans;
$30 million for the capital increase reserved for
employees (see Note 17).

Share-based payment expense before tax for the year 2014
amounted to $194 million and was broken down as follows:

(cid:129)
(cid:129)

$114 million for TOTAL restricted shares plans; and
$80 million for SunPower plans.

Share-based payment expense before tax for the year 2013
amounted to $287 million and was broken down as follows:

(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)

$4 million for TOTAL share subscription plans;
$170 million for TOTAL restricted shares plans;
$98 million for SunPower plans;
$14 million for the capital increase reserved for
employees (see Note 17).

The cost of capital increases reserved for employees 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. The
valuation method of non transferability of the shares is based on a
strategy cost in two steps consisting, first, in a five years forward
sale of the nontransferable shares, and second, in purchasing the
same number of shares in cash with a loan financing reimbursable
“in fine”.

The Combined General Meeting of May 11, 2012 delegated to the
Board of Directors, in its seventeenth resolution, the authority to
carry out in one or more occasions within a maximum period of
twenty-six months, a capital increase reserved for employees
belonging to an employee savings plan.

This same Combined General Meeting also delegated to the Board
of Directors the powers necessary to accomplish in one or more
occasions within a maximum period of eighteen months, a capital
increase with the objective of providing employees with their
registered office located outside France with benefits comparable
to those granted to the employees included in the seventeenth
resolution of the Combined General Meeting of May 11, 2012.

In 2015, 2014 and 2013 no new TOTAL share subscription option
plan was decided.

Pursuant to these delegations, the Board of Directors, during its
September 18, 2012 meeting, decided to proceed with a capital

F-58

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

increase reserved for employees that included a classic offer and a
leveraged offer depending on the employees’ choice, within the
limit of 18 million shares with dividend rights as of January 1, 2012.
This capital increase resulted in the subscription of 10,802,215
shares with a par value of €2.50 at a unit price of €30.70. The
issuance of the shares was acknowledged on April 25, 2013.

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. The valuation method of non
transferability of the shares is based on a strategy cost in two
steps consisting, first, in a five years forward sale of the
nontransferable shares, and second, in purchasing the same
number of shares in cash with a loan financing reimbursable “in
fine”.

During the year 2013, the main assumptions used for the valuation
of the cost of the capital increase reserved for employees were the
following:

Note 26 – Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

April 27, 2015 meeting, decided to grant 20,882 free shares to
2,100 beneficiaries subject to a continued employment condition
during the five-year acquisition period that will end at April 27,
2020.

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.

The valuation method of non transferability of the shares is based
on a strategy cost in two steps consisting, first, in a five years
forward sale of the nontransferable shares, and second, in
purchasing the same number of shares in cash with a loan
financing reimbursable “in fine”.

The global cost also consists of the cost related to the free shares
granted to employees who have subscribed to this offering.

During the year 2015, the main assumptions used for the valuation
of the cost of the capital increase reserved for employees were the
following:

For the year ended December 31,

A cost of $14.1 million related to the capital increase reserved for
employees has been accounted to the fiscal year 2013.

A cost of $30 million related to the capital increase reserved for
employees has been accounted for the fiscal year 2015.

The Combined General Meeting of May 16, 2014, in its fourteenth
resolution, delegated to the Board of Directors the authority to
carry out in one or more occasions within a maximum period of
twenty-six months, a capital increase reserved for employees
belonging to an employee savings plan.

Pursuant to this delegation, the Board of Directors, during its
July 29, 2014, meeting, decided to proceed with a capital increase
reserved for employees that included a classic offering and a
leveraged offering depending on the employees’ choice, within the
limit of 18 million shares with dividend rights as of January 1, 2014
and to grant up to ten free shares to employees who have
subscribed to this offering.

This capital increase resulted in the subscription of 10,108,918
shares with a par value of €2.50 at a unit price of €37.50 and of
the issuance of 370,492 shares with a par value of €2.50 granted
as free shares. The issuance of the shares was acknowledged on
April 27, 2015. Moreover, the Board of Directors, during its

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 29

29) Fair value of financial instruments (excluding
commodity contracts)

A) Impact on the statement of income per nature of
financial instruments

Operating assets and liabilities

The impact on the statement of income is detailed as follows:

For the year ended December 31, (M$)

2015

2014

2013

Assets available for sale (investments) :

— dividend income on non-consolidated

subsidiaries

— gains (losses) on disposal of assets
— other

Loans and receivables

The impact in the statement of income mainly includes:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

Dividends and gains or losses on disposal of other
investments classified as “Other investments”;
Financial gains and depreciation on loans related to
equity affiliates, non-consolidated companies and on
receivables reported in “Loans and receivables”.

Assets and liabilities from financing activities

The impact on the statement of income of financing assets and
liabilities is detailed as follows:

For the year ended December 31, (M$)

2015 2014 2013

Loans and receivables
Financing liabilities and associated hedging

instruments

The impact on the statement of income mainly includes:

(cid:129)

Financial income on cash, cash equivalents, and current
financial assets (notably current deposits beyond three
months) classified as “Loans and receivables”;

Net investment hedge

(cid:129)

(cid:129)
(cid:129)

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; 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.

B) Impact of the hedging strategies

Fair value hedge

The impact on the statement of income of the bond hedging
instruments which is recorded in the item “Financial interest on
debt” in the Consolidated Statement of Income is detailed as
follows:

For the year ended December 31, (M$)

2015

2014

2013

Revaluation at market value of bonds
Swap hedging of bonds

The ineffective portion is not representative of the Group’s
performance considering the Group’s objective to hold swaps to
maturity. The current portion of the swaps valuation is not subject
to active management.

These instruments are recorded directly in other comprehensive income under “Currency translation adjustments”. The variations of the
period are detailed in the table below:

The description of each fair value level is presented in Note 1 paragraph M(v) to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

31) Financial risks management

Oil and gas market related risks

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, power and
coal. 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
30 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 takes
into account a snapshot of the end-of-day exposures and the set
of historical price movements for the last 400 business days for all
instruments and maturities in the global trading activities. Options
are systematically re-evaluated using appropriate models.

The potential movement in fair values corresponds to a 97.5%
value-at-risk type confidence level. This means that the Group’s
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, power and coal 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.

Note 31 – Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

based on an assessment of the counterparty’s financial soundness
(multi-criteria analysis including a review of market prices and of
the Credit Default Swap (CDS), its ratings with Standard & Poor’s
and Moody’s, which must be of high quality, and its overall
financial condition).

An overall authorized credit limit is set for each bank and is allotted
among the subsidiaries and the Group’s central treasury entities
according to their needs.

To reduce the market value risk on its commitments, in particular
for swaps set as part of bonds issuance, the Treasury Department
has concluded margin call contracts with significant
counterparties.

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 Group’s 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.

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 1 paragraph
M, 20, 28 and 29 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 Group’s 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 bank counterparties must be approved in advance,

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 Group’s senior management.

The non-current debt described in Note 20 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 Group’s short-term currency swaps, the notional value of
which appears in Note 29 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.

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 Group’s 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 Group’s policy consists of incurring non-current debt primarily
at a floating rate, or, if the opportunity arises at the time of an
issuance, at a fixed rate. Debt is incurred in dollars, in euros
according to general corporate needs. Long-term interest rate and
currency swaps may be used to hedge bonds at their issuance in
order to create a variable or fixed rate synthetic debt. In order to
partially modify the interest rate structure of the long-term debt,
TOTAL may also enter into long-term interest rate swaps.

As a result of the policy for the management of currency exposure previously described, the Group’s 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, 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:

The Group holds interests in a number of publicly-traded companies (see Notes 12 and 13 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 confirmed lines of credit granted by international banks, which are calculated to allow it to manage its short-term liquidity
needs as required.

As of December 31, 2015, these lines of credit amounted to $10,675 million, of which $10,675 million was unused. The agreements for the
lines of credit granted to TOTAL S.A. do not contain conditions related to the Company’s financial ratios, to its financial 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,
2015, the aggregate amount of the principal confirmed lines of credit granted by international banks to Group companies, including TOTAL
S.A., was $11,225 million, of which $11,225 million was unused. The lines of credit granted to Group companies other than TOTAL S.A. are
not intended to finance the Group’s general needs; they are intended to finance either the general needs of the borrowing subsidiary or a
specific project.

Note 31 – Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

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 Group’s 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 valuation allowance on loans and advances and on accounts
receivable and other operating receivables is detailed respectively
in Notes 14 and 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

As part of its credit risk management related to operating and
financing activities, the Group has developed margin call contracts
with certain counterparties. As of December 31, 2015, the net
amount paid as part of these margin calls was $124 million
(against $1,437 million received as of December 31, 2014 and
$1,105 million received as of December 31, 2013).

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, 2015, the net value of
receivables sold amounted to $4,274 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.

Credit risk is managed by the Group’s business segments as
follows:

Upstream segment

(cid:129)

Exploration & Production

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 and
reviewing credit.

Customer receivables are subject to provisions on a case-by-case
basis, based on prior history and management’s assessment of
the facts and circumstances.

Gas activities deal with counterparties in the energy, industrial and
financial sectors throughout the world. Financial institutions
providing credit risk coverage are highly rated international bank
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.

Refining & Chemicals segment

(cid:129)

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 division implements procedures for
managing and provisioning credit risk that differ based on the size
of the subsidiary and the market in which it operates. The principal
elements of these procedures are:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

implementation of credit limits with different authorization
procedures for possible credit overruns;
use of insurance policies or specific guarantees (letters of
credit);
regular monitoring and assessment of overdue accounts
(aging balance), including collection procedures; and
provisioning of bad debts on a customer-by-customer
basis, according to payment delays and local payment
practices (provisions may also be calculated based on
statistics).

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.

(cid:129)

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
concluded with financial institutions, international banks and
insurance groups selected in accordance with strict criteria.

2015 Form 20-F TOTAL S.A.

F-77

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 32

The Trading & Shipping division has a strict policy of internal
delegation of authority governing establishment of country and
counterparty credit limits and approval of 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 &
Poor’s, Moody’s 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

(cid:129) Marketing & Services

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.

Bad debts are provisioned on a case-by-case basis at a rate
determined by management based on an assessment of the risk
of credit loss.

(cid:129)

New Energies

Internal procedures for the New Energies division include rules on
credit risk management. Procedures to monitor customer risk are
defined at the local level, especially for SunPower (rules for the
approval of credit limits, use of guarantees, monitoring and
assessment of the receivables portfolio, provisioning of doubtful
debts.).

32) Other risks and contingent liabilities

TOTAL is not currently aware of any exceptional event, dispute,
risks or contingent liabilities that could have a material impact on
the assets and liabilities, results, financial position or operations of
the Group.

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 claims against TOTAL S.A., its subsidiary and other
third parties, damages that it estimates to be nearly €908 million.
This proceeding follows practices that had been condemned by
the Italian competition authority in 2006. The parties have
exchanged preliminary findings. The existence and the assessment
of the alleged damages in this procedure involving multiple
defendants remain contested.

Blue Rapid and the Russian Olympic Committee – Russian
regions and Interneft

Blue Rapid, a Panamanian company, and the Russian Olympic
Committee filed a claim for damages with the Paris Commercial
Court against Elf Aquitaine, alleging a so-called non-completion by
a former subsidiary of Elf Aquitaine of a contract related to an
exploration and production project in Russia negotiated in the early
1990s. Elf Aquitaine believed this claim to be unfounded and
opposed it. On January 12, 2009, the Commercial Court of Paris
rejected Blue Rapid’s claim against Elf Aquitaine and found that
the Russian Olympic Committee did not have standing in the
matter. Blue Rapid and the Russian Olympic Committee appealed
this decision. On June 30, 2011, the Court of Appeal of Paris
dismissed as inadmissible the claim of Blue Rapid and the Russian
Olympic Committee against Elf Aquitaine, notably on the grounds
of the contract having lapsed. Blue Rapid and the Russian Olympic
Committee appealed this decision to the French Supreme Court.

In connection with the same facts, and fifteen years after the
aforementioned exploration and production contract was rendered
null and void (“caduc”), a Russian company, which was held not to
be the contracting party to the contract, and two regions of the
Russian Federation that were not even parties to the contract,
launched an arbitration procedure against the aforementioned
former subsidiary of Elf Aquitaine that was liquidated in 2005,
claiming alleged damages of $22.4 billion. For the same reasons
as those successfully adjudicated by Elf Aquitaine against Blue
Rapid and the Russian Olympic Committee, the Group considers
this claim to be unfounded as a matter of law and fact.

The Group has lodged a criminal complaint to denounce the
fraudulent claim of which the Group believes it is a victim and, has
taken and reserved its rights to take other actions and measures to
defend its interests.

FERC

The Office of Enforcement of the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) has begun investigation in connection with the
natural gas trading activities of TOTAL Gas & Power North
America, Inc, an American subsidiary of the Group. The
investigation covers transactions made by the Group’s subsidiary
between June 2009 and June 2012 on the natural gas market.
TOTAL Gas & Power North America, Inc received a Notice of
Alleged Violations of the FERC on September 21, 2015.

The Group’s subsidiary is cooperating in the investigation with the
U.S. authorities, while contesting the claims brought against it.

TOTAL S.A. Form 20-F 2015

Russia

Since July 2014, the United States of America and the European
community have adopted economic sanctions against certain
Russian persons and entities, including various entities operating in
the financial, energy and defense sectors, in response to the
situation in Ukraine.

Among other things, the United States has adopted economic
sanctions targeting OAO Novatek1 (“Novatek”), as well as entities
in which Novatek (individually or with other similarly targeted
persons or entities collectively) owns an interest of at least 50%,
including OAO Yamal LNG2 (“Yamal LNG”). These sanctions
prohibit U.S. persons from transacting in, providing financing for or
otherwise dealing in debt issued by these entities after July 16,
2014 of greater than 90 days maturity. Consequently, the use of
the U.S. dollar for such financing, including for Yamal LNG, is
effectively prohibited.

As a result, the financing plan for the Yamal LNG project is being
reviewed, and the project’s partners are engaged in efforts to
develop a financing plan in compliance with the applicable
regulations.

The economic sanctions initially adopted by the European Union in
2014 and subsequently extended do not materially affect TOTAL’s
activities in Russia. TOTAL has been formally authorized to
continue all its activities in Russia (in the Kharyaga field as
operator, and in the Termokarstovoye field and Yamal project in
which the Group holds interests) by the French government that is
the competent authorities for granting authorization under EU
sanctions regime.

TOTAL’s activities in Russia are also not materially affected by
restrictive measures adopted by the United States in August 2015
imposing export controls and restrictions relating to the export of
certain goods, services, and technologies destined for projects
located in Russia in the field of oil exploration.

With respect to the exploration project in the Bazhenov play (tight
oil) in western Siberia, which has been suspended since 2014,
TOTAL signed in July 2015 an agreement to transfer the
exploration licenses it held in this play to OAO Lukoil. This
agreement also sets out the conditions under which TOTAL and
OAO Lukoil could potentially resume their joint activities in Russia.
In January 2016, TOTAL signed an agreement to sell 50% of its
interest in the Kharyaga field and transfer the operatorship to
Zarubezhneft. After the sale, which is expected to be completed in
2016, TOTAL’s interest in the Kharyaga field will be 20%.

TOTAL continues to closely monitor the different international
economic sanctions with respect to its activities in Russia.

As of December 31, 2015, the Group held 19% of its proved
reserves in Russia.

Yemen

Due to the further deterioration in the security situation in the
vicinity of its Balhaf site, the company Yemen LNG, in which the
Group holds a 39.62% stake, decided to stop its commercial LNG
production and export activities. The plant is in a preservation

Notes 33 to 34 – Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

mode and no expatriate personnel remain on site. As a
consequence of this situation, Yemen LNG declared Force
Majeure to its various stakeholders in early April 2015.

33) Other information

Research and development costs incurred by the Group in 2015
amounted to $1,068 million ($1,353 million in 2014 and $1,260
million in 2013), corresponding to 0.65% of the sales.

The staff dedicated in 2015 to these research and development
activities are estimated at 4,498 people (4,840 in 2014 and 4,684
in 2013).

SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND GAS INFORMATION (Unaudited)

1.

Oil and gas information pursuant to FASB Accounting Standards Codification 932

TOTAL

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.

1.1.

Assessment process for reserves

The estimation of reserves is an ongoing process that is done
within affiliates by experienced geoscientists, engineers and
economists under the supervision of each affiliate’s 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 Group’s 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 Russian equity
affiliate OAO Novatek. The assessment of the net proved liquids
and natural gas reserves of certain properties owned by OAO
Novatek was completed as of December 31, 2015, 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 51% of OAO
Novatek’s net proved reserves and 58% of the total net proved
reserves TOTAL held in Russia as of December 31, 2015.

The technical validation process relies on a Technical Reserves
Committee that is responsible for approving proved reserves
changes 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 represent expertise in reservoir engineering, production
geology, production geophysics, drilling and development studies.

An internal control process related to reserves estimation is
formalized and involves the following elements:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

A central Reserve Entity whose responsibility is to
consolidate, document and archive the Group’s 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.
An annual review of affiliates reserves conducted by an
internal group of specialists selected for their expertise in
geosciences and engineering or 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 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 division and Support to Operations, an SEC
Reserves Committee chaired by the Exploration & Production
Senior Vice President Corporate Affairs and comprised of the
Development and Support to Operations, Exploration,

Strategy and Legal Senior Vice Presidents, or their
representatives, 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 reservoir and geosciences
techniques. 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 Group’s General Management and Chief Financial Officer.

The reserves evaluation and control process is audited periodically
by the Group’s 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 Reserve 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 thirty years of experience in the oil and
gas industry. He previously held several management positions in
the Group in reservoir engineering and geosciences, and has more
than fifteen years of experience in the field of reserves evaluation
and control process. He holds an engineering degree from Institut
National des Sciences Appliquées, Lyon, France, and a petroleum
engineering degree from École Nationale Supérieure du Pétrole et
des Moteurs (IFP School), France. He is the current Chairman of
the Society of Petroleum Engineers Oil and Gas Reserves
Committee and a member of the UNECE (United Nations
Economic Commission for Europe) Expert Group on Resource
Classification.

1.2.

Proved developed reserves

As of December 31, 2015, proved developed reserves of oil and
gas were 6,186 Mboe and represented 53% of the proved
reserves. As of December 31, 2014, proved developed reserves of
oil and gas were 5,706 Mboe and represented 50% of the proved
reserves. As of December 31, 2013, proved developed reserves of
oil and gas were 5,674 Mboe and represented 49% of the proved
reserves. Over the past three years, the average of proved
developed reserves renewal has remained above 900 Mboe per
year, illustrating TOTAL’s ability to consistently transfer proved
undeveloped reserves into developed status.

1.3.

Proved undeveloped reserves

As of December 31, 2015, TOTAL’s combined proved
undeveloped reserves of oil and gas were 5,394 Mboe as
compared to 5,817 Mboe at the end of 2014. The net decrease of
423 Mboe of proved undeveloped reserves is due to the addition
of 152 Mboe of undeveloped reserves related to extensions and
discoveries, the revision of +57 Mboe of previous estimates, a net
decrease of 204 Mboe due to acquisitions/divestitures, and the
booking of 428 Mboe proved undeveloped reserves to proved
developed reserves. In 2015, the cost incurred to develop proved
undeveloped reserves (PUDs) was $15.3 billion, which represents
79% of 2015 development costs incurred, and was related to
projects located for the most part in Norway, Canada, Angola,
Nigeria, Australia, the Republic of the Congo and the United
Kingdom.

Approximately 51% of the Group’s proved undeveloped reserves
are associated with producing projects and are located for the

2015 Form 20-F TOTAL S.A.

S-1

most part in Canada, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, Norway, Russia, and
Venezuela. These reserves are expected to be developed over
time as part of initial field development plans or additional
development phases. The timing to bring these proved reserves
into production will depend upon several factors including reservoir
performance, surface facilities or plant capacity constraints and
contractual limitations on production levels. The remaining proved
undeveloped reserves correspond to undeveloped fields or assets
for which a development has been sanctioned or is in progress.

The Group’s portfolio of projects includes a few large scale and
complex developments for which reserves have remained proved
undeveloped for more than five years or the Group anticipates that
it may take more than five years from the time of recording proved
reserves to the start of production. These specific projects
represent approximately 26% of the Group’s proved undeveloped
reserves and include deep offshore developments in Nigeria,
offshore development in Australia, Argentina, Norway and the
United Kingdom and development of oil sands in Canada.

These projects are highly complex to develop due to a
combination of factors that include, among others, the nature of
the reservoir rock and fluid properties, challenging market and
operating environments, and the size of the projects. In addition,
some of these projects are generally 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 are developed in order to deliver
sufficient production potential to meet capacity constraints and
contractual obligations. Under these specific circumstances, the
Group believes that it is justified to report as proved reserves the
level of reserves used in connection with the approved project,

despite the fact that some of these PUDs may remain
undeveloped for more than five years. In addition, TOTAL has
demonstrated in recent years the Group’s ability to develop and
bring into production similar large scale and complex projects,
including the development of deep-offshore fields in Angola,
Nigeria, the Republic of the Congo, HP/HT fields in the United
Kingdom, heavy oil projects in Venezuela and LNG projects in
Qatar, Yemen, Nigeria and Indonesia.

The tables provided below are presented by the following
geographic areas: Europe, Africa, the Americas, Middle East and
Asia — CIS (with figures shown for Russia separately).

1.4.

Estimated proved reserves of oil, bitumen and
gas

The following tables present, for oil, bitumen and gas reserves,
an estimate of the Group’s oil, bitumen and gas quantities by
geographic areas as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.

Quantities shown correspond to proved developed and
undeveloped reserves together with changes in quantities for
2015, 2014 and 2013.

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 Group’s entire share of such reserves or production.
TOTAL’s worldwide proved reserves include the proved reserves
of its consolidated subsidiaries as well as its proportionate share of
the proved reserves of equity affiliates.

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 Group’s 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 percent.

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.

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) (1) requires
that large undertakings and public-interest entities that are active in
the extractive industry or logging of primary forests disclose in an
annual report payments of at least €100,000 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 Group’s 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.

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 or
undertaking of which the activities consist, in whole or in part, of
the exploration, prospection, discovery, development and
extraction of minerals, crude oil and natural gas, amongst others,
fully consolidated by TOTAL S.A.

Payment: a single payment or multiple interconnected payments
of an amount equal to, or in excess of, €100,000 (or its equivalent)
paid, whether in money or in kind, for extractives activities.

Payment types included in this report are the following:

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

Taxes: taxes and levies paid on income, production or
profits, excluding taxes levied on consumption such as value
added taxes, custom 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 achievement or failure

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

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 Government’s share of
production. This payment is generally made in kind. It does
not include the working interest production share of
government-owned companies where said companies are
acting as partners in a joint venture.

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.

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 the accounting standards) are reported in
proportion to the interest held by the Extractive Company in the
