1 PRESENTATION OF THE GROUP – INTEGRATED REPORT 

Presentation of the Group and its governance 

1.1  Presentation of the Group and its governance 

1.1.1  A major energy player underpinned by stable governance 

1.1.1.1  4th largest international oil and gas major with consolidated sales of $209,363 million in 2018 

TOTAL, a producer of oil and gas for nearly a century with a presence 
in more than 130 countries on 5 continents, is a major energy player (1) 
that  produces  and  markets  fuels,  natural  gas  and  low- carbon 
electricity. 

The  Group’s  activities  include  the  exploration  and  production  of  oil 
and  gas,  refining,  petrochemicals  and  the  distribution  of  energy  in 
various forms to the end customer. More than 104,000 employees 
are  committed  to  contributing  to  supply  to  as  many  people  as 
possible, a more affordable, more available and cleaner energy. 

1.1.1.2  A diverse shareholder base 

Energy,  an  essential  resource,  accompanies  the  development  of 
society.  In  view  of  the  major  challenges  of  today’s  world,  energy 
producers have a key role to play. 

Thanks  to  the  support  provided  by  its  governance  and  a  diverse 
shareholder base, the Group is able to support its collective ambition 
to become the responsible energy major.

and employee shareholders committed to the Company project. For more information, refer to point 6.4 of chapter 6.

For more information, refer to point 4.1.1.4 of chapter 4. 

(b) Excluding the director representing employees, in accordance with Article L. 225- 27- 1 of the French Commercial Code. 

The Board of Directors determines the strategic orientations of TOTAL 
and  supervises  their  implementation.  It  approves  investment  and 
divestment operations when they concern amounts that exceed 3% 
of the Group’s equity and examines all matters related to the proper 
running of the Company. It monitors the management of both financial 
and  non- financial  matters  and  ensures  the  quality  of  information 
provided to shareholders and to financial markets. 

The Board of Directors relies on the work of four Committees that it 
has  constituted:  the  Audit  Committee,  the  Governance  and  Ethics 
Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Strategy & CSR 
Committee. 

Composed  as  of  March  13,  2019,  of  12  directors,  including 
9  independent  members,  the  Board  of  Directors  reflects  diversity 
and  complementarity  of  experience,  expertise,  nationalities  and 
cultures necessary to take account of the interests of all the Group’s 
shareholders and stakeholders. 

Since December 2015, Mr. Patrick Pouyanné has held the position 
of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TOTAL S.A. His term of 
office having been renewed at the General Shareholders’ Meeting on 
June  1,  2018  for  a  three- year  period,  the  Board  of  Directors  has 
reappointed Mr. Pouyanné as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer 
for an equal period to that of his mandate as a director. The decision 
to  uphold  the  combined  functions  of  Chairman  of  the  Board  of 
Directors  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  was  made  following  work 
undertaken by the Governance and Ethics Committee, in the interest 
of the Company and in compliance with the traditions of the Group. 
The Board of Directors deemed that the 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 of having unified 

management  in  strategic  negotiations  with  States  and  the  Group’s 
partners. The Board of Directors regularly examines whether maintaining 
the unified Management Form remains appropriate. 

Attentive to the concerns of investors and stakeholders, the Board of 
Directors pays specific attention to the balance of power within the 
Group.  Consequently,  every  year,  the  Board  examines  desirable 
changes to its composition to ensure it is maintaining a high level of 
independence and the full involvement of the directors in the work of 
the Board and of the Committees. It was also for these reasons that 
the  Board  of  Directors,  at  its  meeting  on  December  16,  2015, 
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. Aside from these duties, the Chairman and Chief Executive 
Officer and the Lead Independent Director strive to maintain permanent 
contact  on  any  important  matter  concerning  the  running  of  the 
Company. 

Since 2016, the Lead Independent Director has organized executive 
sessions  with  the  independent  directors  so  that  they  may  discuss 
the Group’s strategic challenges and working practices. The directors 
are  also  in  regular  contact  with  the  members  of  the  Group’s 
management team, whether members of the Executive Committee 
during  Board  Meetings  or  operational  managers  during  Group  site 
visits. These interactions between directors and managers enable the 
directors to gain a practical understanding of the Group’s activities. 

The  balance  of  power  within  the  Company’s  bodies  is  thereby 
ensured by a stable and structured governance.

1.2  An ambition that goes hand in hand with 

sustainable growth: “become the responsible 
energy major” 

1.2.1  A collective ambition to meet the challenges facing the energy sector 

TOTAL is an integrated energy group and one of the world’s largest. 
Through its international presence and its activities, TOTAL’s goal is 
to make its development a vehicle of progress that benefits as many 
people as possible. 

The  United  Nations,  which  adopted  in  2015  the  17  Sustainable 
Development  Goals  (SDGs)  originally  aimed  for  States,  have  called 
upon  corporations’  contribution  to  collectively  find  solutions  to 
sustainable  development  challenges.  TOTAL  has  committed  since 
2016  to  contributing  to  the  SDGs  and  has  endorsed  the  United 
Nations’  recommendations (1)  and  worked  on  better  identifying  the 
scope of its contribution to the SDGs. 

Through  its  activities,  the  Group  is  concerned  by  all  of  the  SDGs. 
However,  TOTAL  has  identified  certain  SDGs  as  those  on  which  it 
can have the most significant contribution, such as decent work and 
human rights, climate change and access to energy. 

Access  to  energy  is  a  source  of  progress  and  the  condition  for 
economic and social development as well as for the improvement of 
the standard of living of people around the world. In most countries, 
and  in  the  developing  countries  in  particular,  access  to  low- cost 
energy is thus a priority. 

The Group’s vocation is to produce the energy that the world needs, 
and  will  need  in  the  future,  and  to  make  it  accessible  to  as  many 
people  as  possible.  This  is  a  real  challenge;  close  to  one  billion 
individuals (2)  still have no access to electricity. 

This vocation is to be accomplished in a responsible manner and by 
working  to  make  an  effective  contribution  to  the  climate  change 
challenge, in particular. 

Meeting the energy needs of a growing global population, providing 
tangible solutions to contribute limiting global warming, adapting to 
new patterns of energy production and consumption and changes 
to  the  expectations  of  customers  and  stakeholders  constitute  the 
challenges that a major energy player like TOTAL can help to tackle. 

To  meet  these  challenges,  TOTAL’s  ambition  is  to  become  the 
responsible energy major by contributing to supply to as many people 
as possible a more affordable, more available and cleaner energy: 

—  more  affordable  –  as  low- cost  energy  is  essential  to  favor  the 
economic development of billions of people who seek to improve 
their living conditions; 

—  more  available  –  as  people  expect  energy  to  be  continuously 

available and accessible on a daily basis; 

—  cleaner – as the Group aims to both reduce the environmental 
footprint and the CO2 emissions of its operations, and to actively 
contribute  to  finding  solutions  to  limit  the  impact  of  climate 
change,  particularly  by  providing  its  customers  with  a  mix  of 
energy products whose carbon intensity is expected to decrease 
regularly. 

1.2.2  A clear strategy for sustainable growth 

To  fulfill  this  ambition,  TOTAL  implements  a  clear  strategy  that  is 
based  on  four  main  priorities  and  that  integrates  the  challenges  of 
climate change: 

—  further  develop  the  competitiveness  of  the  large  integrated 
refining  and  petrochemical  platforms  and  expand  sustainable 
biofuels and recycling activities; 

—  drive  profitable  and  sustainable  growth  in  Exploration  & 
Production activities, with priority given to the production of gas 
in particular of liquefied natural gas (the fossil fuel that emits the 
least amount of carbon dioxide) and constant concern on producing 
at a competitive cost by ensuring strict investment discipline; 

—  increase  the  distribution  of  petroleum  products,  particularly  in 
high- growing regions, and offer innovative solutions and services 
that meet the needs of customers above and beyond the supply 
of petroleum products; and

1 PRESENTATION OF THE GROUP – INTEGRATED REPORT 

Advantages that allow the Group to stand out in a changing energy world 

— expand  along  the  full  gas  value  chain  by  unlocking  access  to
new  markets  and  boost  profitable  growth  in  the  low  carbon
electricity  businesses,  from  production  based  on  gas  and
renewable  energies  to  electricity  and  gas  distribution  to  end
customers. 

In  addition,  TOTAL  intends  to  promote  a  better  use  of  natural
resources  by  supporting  the  circular  economy,  and  implement  a 
program  of  actions,  particularly  in  the  following  areas:  waste
management,  new  ranges  of  polymers,  solarization  of  service
stations, improved efficiency energy and purchasing. 

1.3  Advantages that allow the Group to stand out 

in a changing energy world 

To become the responsible energy major and to help provide specific
solutions to major challenges that are to come over the next decades,
TOTAL can rely on several advantages: its strong identity and values,

the know- how of employees committed to better energy, its integrated 
business model and its geographic presence. 

1.3.1  A long- standing energy player that draws on its strong identity 

Energy is rooted in TOTAL’s history. 

A producer of oil and gas for almost a century, the Group’s history 
started in 1924 with the creation of Compagnie française des Pétroles 
(CFP), which began its oil production activities in the Middle East at 
this time. Over the years, the Group has diversified its activities and 

1.3.1.1  Key dates in the Group’s history

and  petrochemical  segments  and  the  distribution  of  petroleum 
products, solar power, sustainable biofuels and electricity.

1.3.1.2  Five strong values at the heart of the Group 

1 

Safety, Respect for Each Other, Pioneer Spirit, Stand Together and 
Performance- Minded represent, just as its history, the part of TOTAL’s 

identity shared by all employees. These values guide the daily actions 
and relations of the Group with its stakeholders. 

“These values describe and unite us. They are the levers on which we rely to achieve our ambition of becoming the responsible energy 
major.” 

Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer 

These five strong values also require all of TOTAL’s employees to act 
in  an  exemplary  manner  in  priority  in  the  following  areas:  safety, 
security, health, environment, integrity in all of its forms (particularly, 
the  prevention  of  corruption,  fraud  and  anti- competitive  practices) 
and human rights. 

It is through strict adherence to these values and to this course of 
action that the Group intends to build strong and sustainable growth 
for  itself  and  for  all  of  its  stakeholders,  and  thereby  deliver  on  its 
commitment to better energy.

talents  within  TOTAL  is  crucial  to  its  competitiveness,  innovative 
capacity and attractiveness. 

With  over  150  nationalities  represented,  a  presence  in  over 
130 countries, and more than 650 business- related competencies, 
the Group is a global player. Women make up 35.1% of the workforce 
and 27.7% of managers. A wide range of opinions and backgrounds 
enable innovative solutions and new opportunities to arise. 

Such  diversity  is  an  essential  asset  for  the  Group.  The  capacity  of 
the  Group’s  employees  to  mobilize  themselves  and  act  in  an 
entrepreneurial  spirit  is  vital.  It  enables  ambitious  projects  to  be 
completed  and  offers  everyone  the  opportunity  to  give  meaning  to 
their work and grow professionally. 

Diversity is embodied, in particular, by the presence of 21.8% women 
members  on  the  Management  Committees  (head  office  and 
subsidiaries),  52%  international  members  on  the  subsidiaries’ 
Management  Committees  and  24%  international  members  on  the 
head  office  Management  Committees.  In  order  to  strengthen  the 
representation  of  women  in  governing  bodies,  the  Executive 
Committee set a goal in late 2018 to reach 20% of women members 
of  Management  Commitees  of  branches  and  large  operational 
divisions.  This  reality  attests  to  the  Group’s  desire  to  strengthen 
diversity in all its forms as a vector of innovation and progress. The 
Diversity policy is promoted by the Diversity Council, which is chaired 
by a member of the Group’s Executive Committee. 

“Women and men are at the heart of our collective project. Our employees – in all corners of the planet and thanks to their individual 
commitment – are the energy that drives our Group forward. This diversity is an invaluable asset that makes it possible to accomplish 
ambitious projects.”

1 PRESENTATION OF THE GROUP – INTEGRATED REPORT 

Advantages that allow the Group to stand out in a changing energy world 

1.3.2.2  Employee commitment is essential to the success of the Company project 

The Group addresses its challenges thanks to the commitment of its 
employees. It is for this reason that the Group strives to ensure that 
the  most  demanding  safety,  ethics  and  integrity,  management  and 
social performance practices are implemented wherever it operates. 
The  aim  of  this  process  is  to  create  the  conditions  that  enable 
everyone  to  fulfill  his  or  her  potential  and  TOTAL  to  pursue  its 
development. 

TOTAL  has  adopted  a  proactive  approach  by  subscribing  to  the 
principles  of  numerous  national  and  international  agreements  that 
fight against all forms of discrimination and by striving to ensure the 
safety  and  security  of  its  employees  and  the  respect  of  their 
fundamental rights. The Group has a long- standing commitment to 
promoting  equal  opportunity  and  diversity,  which  constitute,  for 
everyone, a source of development where only expertise and talent 
count. In 2018, the Group decided to sign the Global Business and 
Disability  Network  Charter  of  the  International  Labour  Organization 
(ILO) and is gradually implementing these principles in its subsidiaries. 

The Group is also committed to social dialogue, which is one of the 
vectors  used  to  modernize  companies.  Among  the  numerous 
stakeholders  with  which  TOTAL  maintains  regular  dialogue,  the 
Group’s  employees  and  their  representatives  have  a  privileged 
position and role. 

international  organizations.  This 

This  approach  is  illustrated  by  several  commitments  made  by  the 
Group, such as its adhesion on December 21, 2017, to the Global 
Deal  initiative,  alongside  some  60  partners,  states,  trade  unions, 
companies  and 
international 
multi- party initiative aims at fighting against inequalities, encouraging 
social dialogue and promoting fairer globalization. It states that social 
dialogue,  collective  bargaining  and  trade- union  freedom  play  an 
essential role in the fulfillment of the Sustainable Development Goals 
(SDGs 8, 10 and 17) of the United Nations. Similarly, the signing of a 
global agreement with the trade union federation IndustriALL in 2015 

guarantees  for  the  Group’s  employees  a  high  level  of  commitment 
to social matters in countries where the Group operates. The goal is 
to maintain the partnership and renegotiate this agreement for 2019 
and beyond. The Group had 316 active agreements (including 190 in 
France) with employee representatives in place at the end of 2018. 

TOTAL  encourages  a  managerial  policy  that  favors  commitment, 
accountability and performance evaluation and is built on promoting 
functional  and  geographic  mobility  and  training  to  ensure  each 
person’s  skills  development  and  employability  (76%  of  employees 
within  the  scope  of  the  WHRS (1)  took  at  least  one  on  site  training 
course in 2018). 

The  technical  and  commercial  know- how  of  employees  and  their 
ability  to  manage  large  projects  underpin  the  Group’s  operational 
excellence and are essential for the Group’s development. It is thanks 
to the recognized expertise of its employees that TOTAL is able to 
form  partnerships  of  trust  with  the  world’s  main  producing  and 
consuming  nations  in  the  most  demanding  areas,  such  as  deep 
offshore, liquefied natural gas (LNG), low carbon energy, refining and 
petrochemicals,  which  are  also  areas  in  which  the  Group  has 
developed  some  of  the  most  high- performance  platforms.  It  is  for 
this  reason  that  all  employees,  regardless  of  their  function,  are 
encouraged  to  build  on  their  expertise  and  competencies  by 
accessing a wide range of trainings. 

In order to improve the Group’s social performance, the expectations 
of  employees  are  regularly  listened  to  and  discussed.  Examples 
include the Total Survey, which compiles the views and suggestions 
for improvement of tens of thousands of employees every two years. 
Initiatives that have allowed employees to participate in building the 
“One Total” Company project since 2016 are initiated. 

This approach testifies to the Group’s desire to entrench a continuous 
improvement process that benefits everyone. For more information, 
refer to point 5.3 of chapter 5. 

1.3.3  The strength of the Group’s integrated business model 

1.3.3.1  A resilient integrated business model 

Oil  and  gas  are  commodities  that  are  traded  on  markets  that  are 
known for their volatility. To manage this constraint as well as possible, 
TOTAL  opted  for  an  integrated  business  model  with  activities 
throughout the oil and gas value chain. It extends from exploration 
and production, refining, liquefaction, petrochemicals and trading to, 
finally, the distribution of products to the end customer. 

This business model enables the Company to benefit from synergies 
between  different  activities  and  from  price  volatility.  It  also  enables 
the Company to manage the bottom of the cycle better and capture 
margin when the market improves. Thanks to an integrated business 
model, the Group’s Upstream activities, which are more dependent 
on  the  price  of  oil,  can  complement  its  Downstream  activities, 
which – at the bottom of the cycle – enable the Group to benefit from 
added value untapped by the Upstream part of the business. 

“It is thanks to the effectiveness of our integrated business model for the oil chain that we were able to withstand high oil  price volatility. 
And it is the same model that we apply to gas and renewable energies, both intended for the generation of electricity.” 

Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Advantages that allow the Group to stand out in a changing energy world  1

1.3.3.2  A relevant, integrated business model under development on the gas- renewables-electricity chain 

In the coming years, according to the IEA, the growth in demand for 
electricity is expected to outstrip global demand for energy. In light 
of  the  digitization  of  the  economy,  the  mobility  revolution,  and 
decentralized generation, many products and services are going to 
be “electrified” while, at the same time, a growing share of the world’s 
population will benefit from access to electricity. 

Preference will be given to three main priorities: 

—  integration on the gas chain from production to liquefaction and 

distribution; 

—  the generation of electricity using gas or renewable energies and 

its storage; and 

—  the trading and the sale of gas or electricity as the producer, or 

To  fulfill  its  ambition,  the  Group  intends  to  apply  this  integrated 
business  model  to  the  electricity  chain,  from  the  production  of  low 
carbon energy to the generation of electricity. 

not. 

1.3.4  Geographic presence: key to the Group’s future growth 

It is thanks to its pioneer spirit and sense of solidarity that TOTAL has 
become  a  worldwide  oil  and  gas  major  and  that  it  has  forged 
partnerships of trust with its host countries. Remaining loyal to these 
principles means being continuously open to forming new alliances, 
key to the Group’s development, and creating new opportunities in 
the energy sector despite geopolitical uncertainty. 

It  is  thanks  to  a  strong  and  lasting  geographic  presence  that  the 
Group will be able to meet its goal of becoming a recognized partner 
in  the  sustainable  economic  and  social  development  of  the 
communities  and  regions  in  which  it  operates  for  the  creation  of 
shared value. 

1.3.4.1  From one history to one ambition 

The Group is present in over 130 countries and on five continents. 
There  are  three  geographic  regions  in  particular  that  represent  the 
historical foundations of TOTAL’s strategy and today stand out thanks 
to the quality of the on-site teams and solid partnerships forged over 
time: 

—  Europe: The core of the Group’s knowledge. Europe is home to 
the Group’s decision-making center; it is the hub of its research 
and innovation work and constitutes a strong industrial base; 

—  Middle  East:  the  Group  began  its  production  activities  in  this 
region and is recognized in the Middle East as a partner of choice 
among producing nations and their national oil companies. The 
aim of the Group is to develop its activities in all business lines in 
this region, even when geopolitical tension rises; 

—  Africa: TOTAL is the largest integrated major notably thanks to 
the  volume  of  hydrocarbon  production  and  the  number  of 
Group- branded  service  stations  on  the  African  continent (1). 
TOTAL generates electricity from renewable sources. The Group 
intends  to  remain  the  continent’s  partner  of  choice  and  to 
contribute to its economic and social development through the 
creation of shared value. 

Today,  new  regions  which  are  vital  for  the  Group  have  appeared, 
particularly  the  Americas,  which  represent  a  strong  growth 
opportunity for all of the Group’s businesses, Asia, in order to benefit 
from this market’s high rate of growth, and Russia, where TOTAL is 
working  on  major  industrial  projects  and  maintains  a  special  and 
long- term relationship with local industrial players.

Advantages that allow the Group to stand out in a changing energy world 

1.3.4.2  Managing geopolitical uncertainty 

The  world  is  confronted  by  political  and  geopolitical  uncertainty 
characterized by tension connected to conflict and war in countries 
such  as  Syria,  Iraq,  Yemen  and  Libya.  It  is  exacerbated  by 
international terrorism. 

In this context, TOTAL intends to develop its activities by putting its 
competencies  to  the  benefit  of  each  of  the  countries  where  it 
operates,  by  complying  with  applicable  laws  and  international 
economic  sanctions  where  imposed.  The  Group  also  ensures  that 
the capital invested in the most sensitive countries remains at a level 
limiting its exposure in each of them. 

This  is  the  approach  TOTAL  intends  to  pursue  and  which  was 
materialized following its decision to carry on investing in Russia while 
complying with the economic sanctions imposed by the United States 
and Europe, or by its decision to stop its operational activities in Iran 
following the re- imposition of U.S. secondary sanctions (refer to point 

3.1.9.1 of chapter 3). The Group, if necessary, stops its activities in 
countries that become too risky (such as Yemen and Syria). 

Loyalty to its partners, particularly during such kind of situations, is 
also a strong characteristic of the Group. 

TOTAL’s  activities,  wherever  they  are,  are  carried  out  in  strict 
adherence to applicable laws and the Group’s Code of Conduct and 
within the framework of compliance and risk management procedures. 

By  continuing  to  invest  and  to  supply  energy,  the  Group  helps  to 
maintain  conditions  that  favor  the  economic  development  of  these 
regions. 

For  more  information  on  risk  factors,  internal  control  and  risk 
management  procedures  and  reasonable  vigilance  measures 
implemented  by  the  Group,  refer  to  points  3.1,  3.3  and  3.5  of 
chapter 3. 

“During these troubled times, our industry can and must be a stabilizing factor.” 

1.3.4.3  A local socio- economic development partner 

Safety,  integrity,  respect  for  human  rights,  and  societal  and 
environmental responsibility are principles and values that form part 
of  the  Group’s  operating  processes.  If  TOTAL  is  able  to  build  and 
develop partnerships throughout the world, it is also because it has 
incorporated  a  local  value  creation  process  into  its  development 
model.  This  process  is  systematic,  professional  and  a  major 
competitive advantage. 

Based on dialogue with the local population and public and private 
players,  this  process  is  used  to  identify  development  priorities  and 
create synergies. The Group intends to apply this approach over the 
long term to ensure that its major projects create shared prosperity. 

Beyond the societal initiatives that are directly related to the Group’s 
industrial and commercial activities, TOTAL is commited to general 
interest measures in the countries where it operates. In the face of 
growing inequality and environmental challenges, the Group intends 
to  strengthen  its  public  interest  initiatives  and  has  implemented  a 
new civic commitment policy in line with its history, its values and its 
businesses.  It  wishes  to  act  in  a  way  that  ensures  the  vitality  and 
sustainability  of  the  territories  in  which  the  Group  is  present  by 
favouring actions that benefit young people first. 

Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer 

In  order  for  its  corporate  citizenship  initiatives  to  have  a  greater 
impact,  four  areas  of  focus  have  been  defined  as  part  of  the  Total 
Foundation  program  driven  by  the  Fondation  d’entreprise  Total  in 
France and supported by the Group: 

—  road safety: committed to safer mobility; 

—  forests and climate: committed to a more beneficial environment 

for humans; 

—  education  and  integration  of  young  people:  committed  to 

empowering young people in socially vulnerable situations; and 

—  dialogue  on  cultures  and  heritage:  committed  to  cultural 

openness and appreciation of heritage. 

Since the end of 2018, the Group has launched Action!, the Group’s 
Employee  Volunteering  Program,  through  which  TOTAL  gives  its 
employees the time and means to get involved and contribute to the 
development of the areas where the Group is present. It thus allows 
employees,  on  a  voluntary  basis,  the  possibility  to  support,  up  to 
three days per year during their working time, or outside of it, local 
solidarity projects within the scope of the Total Foundation program.

1.4  Strong results driven by strong hydrocarbon 
production growth and discipline on spend 

1.4.1  2018 results 

1.4.1.1  Outlook for the 2018 fiscal year 

Benefiting  from  the  rise  of  oil  prices  to  $71/b  on  average  in  2018 
compared  to  $54/b  in  2017,  while  remaining  volatile,  the  Group 
reported adjusted net income of $13.6 billion in 2018, an increase of 
28%, a return on average capital employed close to 12%, the highest 
among the majors, and a pre- dividend breakeven below 30 $/b. 

These excellent results reflect the strong growth of more than 8% for 
the  Group’s  hydrocarbon  production,  which  reached  a  record  level 
of 2.8 Mboe/d in 2018 and led to a 71% increase in Exploration & 
Production’s adjusted net operating income. The year was highlighted 
by  the  start- up  of  Ichthys  in  Australia,  Yamal  LNG  in  Russia, 
deep- water projects Kaombo Norte in Angola and Egina in Nigeria, 
as  well  as  the  counter- cyclical  acquisitions  of  Maersk  Oil  and  new 
offshore licenses in the United Arab Emirates. 

In  addition,  the  Group  maintained  its  financial  discipline.  Net 
investments were $15.6 billion in 2018, in line with its objective, and 
$4.2 billion in cost reduction was achieved. Debt- adjusted cash flow 
(DACF) (1)  was $26 billion in 2018, driven largely by the 31% increase 
in  cash  flow  from  Exploration  &  Production.  The  Group’s  balance 
sheet was solid with a gearing ratio of 15.5%, below the target limit 
of 20%. 

The Group is continuing to expand along the value chain of integrated 
gas  and  low- carbon  electricity.  With  its  acquisition  of  Engie’s  LNG 
assets TOTAL is the second largest publicly-traded player in the LNG 
business, and its position will be strengthened with the 2019 start- up 
of the Cameron LNG project. In addition, the Group accelerated its 
growth in low- carbon electricity, notably with the acquisition of Direct 
Énergie. 

In an environment of lower European refining margins, the Downstream 
relied on the availability of its units and the diversity of its portfolio to 
generate $6.5 billion of cash flow and profitability of more than 25%. 
The  Group  is  continuing  to  implement  its  strategy  for  growth  in 
petrochemicals  by  launching  projects  in  the  United  States,  Saudi 
Arabia,  South  Korea  and  Algeria.  TOTAL  has  also  continued  to 
expand  Marketing  &  Services  in  fast-growing  areas,  notably  in 
Mexico, Brazil and Angola. 

Conforming to the shareholder return policy announced in February 
2018, the Group increased the 2018 dividend by 3.2% and bought 
back  $1.5  billion  of  its  shares  in  2018.  Given  the  solid  financial 
position,  which  is  benefiting  from  growing  cash  flow,  the  Board  of 
Directors confirmed the shareholder return policy for 2019. It plans 
to increase the interim dividend by 3.1% to 0.66 euro per share, end 
the scrip dividend option following the general assembly, and continue 
the  share  buyback  policy  in  the  amount  of  $1.5  billion  in  a  60  $/b 
environment. 

“An ajusted net income of $13.6 billion, with oil prices averaging $71, is better than in 2014, when it had reached $99. These excellent 
results reflect the strong growth of more than 8% for the Group’s hydrocarbon production, and our financial discipline.”

Adjusted net income (Group share) 

The adjusted net operating income from the business segments was 
$15,997 million for the full- year 2018, an increase of 34% over one 
year,  mainly  due  to  the  71%  increase  in  the  contribution  from 
Exploration  &  Production  which  fully  benefited  from  the  increase  in 
hydrocarbons prices and the strong production growth. 

Adjusted  net  income  was  $13,559  million  in  2018,  an  increase  of 
28%  compared  to  2017.  The  increase  was  mainly  the  result  of  a

PRESENTATION OF THE GROUP – INTEGRATED REPORT 

Solid results thanks to the integrated business model and strict discipline  1 

Adjusted net income excludes the after-tax inventory effect, special 
items and the impact of changes in fair value (1). 

The effective tax rate for the Group was 38.7% in 2018, compared 
to 31.1% in 2017, mainly due to the higher tax effective rate for the 
Exploration & Production segment in relation to higher hydrocarbon 
prices and the larger share of Exploration & Production in the Group’s 
annual results. 

Divestments – Acquisitions 

Assets  sales  completed  were  $5,172  million  in  2018,  essentially 
comprised  of  the  sale  of  a  4%  interest  in  the  Ichthys  project  in 
Australia and the sale of the Group’s share of the LNG re- gas terminal 
at Dunkirk, as well as the sale of Joslyn in Canada, Rabi in Gabon, 

the Martin Linge and Visund fields in Norway, an interest in Fort Hills 
in Canada, SunPower’s sale of its interest in 8point3, the marketing 
activities  of  TotalErg  in  Italy,  the  Marketing  &  Services  network  in 
Haiti,  and  the  contribution  of  the  Bayport  polyethylene  unit  in  the 
United States to the joint venture formed with Borealis and Nova in 
which TOTAL holds 50%. 

Acquisitions  completed  were  $8,314  million  in  2018,  mainly 
comprised of the extension of licenses in Nigeria and the acquisition 
of  a  network  of  service  stations  in  Brazil,  as  well  as  notably  the 
acquisitions of Direct Énergie, Engie’s LNG business, the increase in 
the share of Novatek to 19.4%, interests in the Iara and Lapa fields in 
Brazil, two new 40- year offshore concessions in Abu Dhabi and the 
acquisition of offshore assets from Cobalt in the Gulf of Mexico.

Solid results thanks to the integrated business model and strict discipline 

In 2018, hydrocarbon production was 2,775 kboe/d, an increase of 
more than 8% compared to last year, due to: 

—  +9% for start- ups and ramp- ups on new projects, notably Yamal 
LNG,  Moho  Nord,  Fort  Hills,  Kashagan,  Kaombo  Norte  and 
Ichthys; 

—  +3% portfolio effect, mainly the addition of Mærsk Oil, Al Shaheen 
in  Qatar,  Waha  in  Libya,  Lapa  and  Iara  in  Brazil  as  well  as  the 
acquisition of an additional 0.5% of Novatek, were partially offset 
by the expiration of the Mahakam permit at the end of 2017 and 
the sales of Visund in Norway and Rabi in Gabon; 

—  - 4% for natural field declines and PSC price effect.

In 2018, the Exploration & Production segment’s operating cash flow 
before  working  capital  changes  without  financial  charges  was 
$19,374  million,  an  increase  of  31%  year- on- year.  The  Group 
benefited  fully  from  the  increase  in  hydrocarbon  prices  and  strong 
production growth. 

The  Exploration  &  Production  segment’s  adjusted  net  operating 
income  was  $10,210  million  for  the  full- year  2018,  an  increase  of 

71%  compared  to  2017,  for  the  same  reasons  and  despite  an 
increase in the tax rate in line with the increase in hydrocarbon prices. 

Technical  costs  for  the  consolidated  subsidiaries,  calculated  in
accordance  with  ASC932 (1)  standards,  continued  decreasing  to
18.9  $/boe  in  2018,  including  5.7  $/boe  of  operational  costs,
compared to 19.5 $/boe in 2017.

Adjusted  net  operating  income  for  the  Gas,  Renewables  &  Power 
segment  was  $756  million  in  2018,  notably  thanks  to  the  good 
performance  of  LNG  and  gas/power  trading  activities.  The 
acquisitions of Direct Énergie and the LNG business of Engie account 

for the increase in investments to $3.5 billion in 2018. The increase in 
working  capital  related  to  the  consolidation  of  the  acquisitions  of 
Direct Énergie and the LNG business of Engie was mainly responsible 
for the negative cash flow from operations in 2018.

The  European  Refining  Margin  Indicator  (ERMI)  for  the  Group
decreased by 21% to 32.3 $/t in 2018, mainly due to rising crude oil 
prices. The petrochemicals environment remained favorable in 2018 
although  margins  in  Europe  were  lower  than  last  year,  affected  by 
the higher price of raw materials. 

In this context, Refining & Chemicals adjusted net operating income 
was resilient at $3,379 million in 2018, a decrease of 11% compared 
to the previous year.

1.4.1.7  TOTAL S.A. 2017 results 

1.4.1.9  Shareholder return policy 

Net income for TOTAL S.A., the parent company, was €5,485 million 
in 2018 compared to €6,634 million in 2017. 

1.4.1.8  Proposed dividend 

The  Board  of  Directors  met  on  February  6,  2019  and  decided  to 
propose to the Combined Shareholders’ Meeting, which will be held 
on  May  29,  2019,  an  annual  dividend  of  €2.56/share  for  2018,  a 
3.2%  increase  compared  to  2017  conforming  to  the  shareholder 
return policy announced in February 2018. 

In the context of the solid financial position of the Group, the Board 
of  Directors  also  decided  not  to  propose  to  the  Combined 
Shareholders’  Meeting  which  will  be  held  on  May  29,  2019,  the 
renewal of the scrip dividend option. 

The  Board  of  Directors  will  thus  propose  to  the  General  Meeting, 
which  will  be  held  on  May  29,  2019,  to  approve  the  final  dividend 
payment, exclusively in cash, for the 2018 fiscal year as well as for 
the interim dividends that the Board of Directors may decide for the 
2019 fiscal year.

Given the solid financial position, the Board of Directors, at its meeting 
on  February  6,  2019,  confirmed  for  2019,  the  shareholder  return 
policy announced in February 2018 and plans the following measures: 

—  distribution of interim dividends for fiscal year 2019 of €0.66 per 
share, increased by 3.1% compared to the interim dividends for 
fiscal  year  2018,  and  a  full- year  2019  dividend  of  €2.64  per 
share, to be proposed to the Shareholders’ Meeting; 

—  buyback of all shares issued in 2019 for the payment of the 2018 

interim dividends; 

—  buyback of shares, in a $60/b Brent environment, of $1.5 billion 
for  2019  as  part  of  the  $5  billion  buyback  program  over  the 
period 2018- 2020.

The  Group’s  net  cash  flow  after  working  capital  changes  was 
$9,135  million  in  2018  compared  to  $10,683  million  in  2017.  This 
variation is mainly due to the increase in cash flow from operations 
driven  by  the  rise  in  hydrocarbon  prices,  the  strong  hydrocarbon 
production growth in the Exploration & Production’s segment offset 
by the increase in investments, net of divestments, in 2018 compared 
to  2017.  The  Group  confirmed  its  financial  strength  with  a  gearing 
ratio of 15.5% at the end of 2018. 

1.4.2.3  Borrowing requirements

and funding structure 

The Group’s policy consists of incurring long-term debt at a floating 
rate or at a fixed rate depending on the Group’s general corporate 
needs and interest rates. Debt is incurred mainly in dollars or euros. 
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. 

The  non-current  financial  debt  is  generally  raised  by  the  corporate 
treasury  entities  either  directly  in  dollars  or  euros,  or  in  other 
currencies  which  are  then  exchanged  for  dollars  or  euros  through 
currency swaps at issuance, depending on general corporate needs. 

As of December 31, 2018, the Group’s long-term financial debt, after 
taking  into  account  the  effect  of  currency  and  interest  rate  swaps, 
was 97% in dollars and 54% at floating rates. In 2017, these ratios 
were 95% and 55%, respectively. 

In  addition  to  its  ongoing  bond  issuance  programs,  in  2015  and 
2016  TOTAL  S.A.  issued  perpetual  subordinated  notes  in  several 
tranches:  on  February  19,  2015,  €5  billion  in  two  tranches;  on 
May 11, 2016, €1.75 billion in one tranche; and on September 29, 
2016, €2.5 billion in two tranches. 

In  accordance  with  IAS  32  provisions  “Financial  instruments  – 
Presentation”,  given  the  nature  of  these  notes,  they  have  been 
recognized in the accounts as equity. 

In addition, on November 25, 2015, TOTAL S.A. issued a $1.2 billion 
bond combining cash-settled convertible bonds indexed on TOTAL’s 
share performance and the purchase of stock options to hedge the 
risk  of  additional  costs  related  to  this  indexation.  This  combination 
creates a non-dilutive synthetic instrument equivalent to a standard 
bond.  At  maturity,  all  flows  are  settled  in  cash  and  limited  to  the 
nominal amount. 

The Group has established standards for market transactions under 
which bank counterparties must be approved in advance, based on 
an assessment of the counterparty’s financial soundness (multi-criteria 
analysis including a review of the market capitalization 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 allocated 
among  the  subsidiaries  and  the  Group’s  central  treasury  entities 
according to their needs. 

To reduce the market valuation risk on its commitments, in particular 
for swaps put in place on the back of bond issues, the Group also 
entered into margin call contracts with its counterparties. In addition, 
since December 21, 2018, pursuant to Regulation (EU) No. 648/2012 
on  OTC  derivatives,  central  counterparties  and  trade  repositories 
(EMIR), some of the interest rate swaps entered into by the Group 
are now being centrally cleared. 

1.4.2.4  External financing available 

As  of  December  31,  2018,  the  aggregate  amount  of  the  major 
committed  credit  facilities  granted  by  international  banks  to  the 
Group’s  companies  (including  TOTAL  S.A.)  was  $13,191  million 
(compared  to  $12,323  million  on  December  31,  2017),  of  which 
$12,599 million were unused (compared to $12,205 million unused 
on December 31, 2017). 

TOTAL  S.A.  has  committed  credit  facilities  granted  by  international 
banks allowing it to benefit from significant liquidity  reserves. As of 
December 31, 2018, these credit facilities amounted to $11,515 million 
(compared  to  $11,478  million  on  December  31,  2017),  of  which 
$11,515 million were unused (compared to $11,478 million unused 
on December 31, 2017). 

The  agreements  for  credit  facilities  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. 

Credit facilities granted to Group companies other than TOTAL S.A. 
are  not  intended  to  finance  the  Group’s  general  corporate  needs; 
they are intended to finance either the general needs of the borrowing 
affiliate or a specific project. 

As of December 31, 2018, no restrictions applied to the use of the 
Group companies’ funding sources (including TOTAL S.A.) that could 
significantly impact the Group’s activities, directly or indirectly. 

1.4.2.5  Anticipated sources of financing 

Investments,  working  capital,  dividend  payments  and  buybacks  of 
its  own  shares  by  the  Company  are  financed  by  cash  flow  from 
operations, asset disposals and, if necessary, by net borrowings. 

For the coming years and based on the current financing conditions, 
the Company intends to maintain this approach to the financing of 
the Group’s investments and activities.

1.4.3  Trends and outlook 

1.4.3.1  Outlook 

Since the start of 2019, Brent has traded around $60/b in a context 
of oil supply and demand near the record-high level of 100 Mb/d. In 
a volatile environment, the Group is pursuing its strategy for integrated 
growth along the oil, gas and low- carbon electricity chains. 

The  Group  has  clear  visibility  on  its  2019  cash  flow,  supported  by 
the  strong  contribution  of  project  start- ups  in  2018  and  recent 
acquisitions. 

The Group maintains financial discipline to reduce its breakeven to 
remain  profitable  across  a  broader  range  of  environments.  In 
particular, it is targeting cost reductions of $4.7 billion, projected net 
investments of $15- 16 billion in 2019 and a production cost target 
of 5.5 $/boe. 

In Exploration & Production, production is expected to grow by more 
than 9% in 2019, thanks to the ramp-ups of Kaombo Norte, Egina 
and Ichthys plus the start- ups of Iara 1 in Brazil, Kaombo South in 
Angola,  Culzean  in  the  UK  and  Johan  Sverdrup  in  Norway. 
Determined to take advantage of the favorable cost environment, the 
Group plans to launch projects in 2019, notably including Mero 2 in 
Brazil, Tilenga and Kingfisher in Uganda and Arctic LNG 2 in Russia. 

The  Group  is  pursuing  its  strategy  for  profitable  growth  along  the 
integrated gas and low- carbon electricity chains. Effective 2019, the 
Group will report the new iGRP segment (integrated Gas, Renewables 
& Power) which combines the Gas, Renewables & Power segment 
with  the  upstream  gas  and  LNG  activities  currently  reported  within 
the Exploration & Production segment. 

Affected by an abundance of available products, European refining 
margins have been very volatile since the start of the year. In 2019, 
the Downstream will continue to rely on its diversified portfolio, notably 
its  integrated  Refining  &  Chemical  platforms  in  the  U.S.  and 
Asia- Middle  East  as  well  as  its  non- cyclical  Marketing  &  Services 
segment. 

In this context, the Group will continue to implement its shareholder 
return policy announced in February 2018, by increasing the dividend 
in 2019 by 3.1%, in line with the objective to increase the dividend 
by  10%  over  the  2018-20  period.  Taking  into  account  its  strong 
financial position, the Group will eliminate the scrip dividend option 
from  June  2019.  Within  the  framework  of  its  program  to  buy  back 
$5 billion of shares over the 2018- 20 period, the Group expects to 
buy  back  $1.5  billion  of  its  shares  in  2019  in  a  60  $/b  Brent 
environment. 

1.4.3.2  Risks and uncertainties 

Due to the nature of its business, the Group’s activities remain subject 
to the market risks (sensitivity to the environmental parameters of the 
oil and financial markets), industrial and environmental risks related 
to its operations, and to political or geopolitical risks stemming from 
the global presence of most of its activities. 

Detailed information is given in the Risk Factors section (point 3.1 of 
chapter  3)  of  this  Registration  Document.  For  more  information  on 
internal control and risk management procedures, also refer  to  point 
3.3 of chapter 3. 

1.4.4  Significant changes 

Except for the events mentioned above in point 1.4, in the Business 
overview (chapter 2), and in the description of legal and arbitration 
procedures  (point  3.2  of  chapter  3),  no  significant  changes  to  the 
Group’s  financial  or  commercial  situation  have  occurred  since 
December 31, 2018, the end of the last fiscal year for which audited 
financial statements have been published by the Company.

order to benefit from a favorable cost environment; 

1.5.3  A continuous improvement dynamic 

TOTAL  commited  in  2016  to  contributing  to  the  Sustainable 
Development Goals (SDG) adopted by the United Nations. Given the 
nature  of  the  Group’s  businesses  and  its  geographic  presence, 
TOTAL  is  concerned  by  all  the  SDGs.  However,  the  Group  has 
identified the most significant SDGs for its activities in order to focus 
its  efforts  on  the  segments  in  which  it  is  able  to  make  a  direct 
contribution. TOTAL therefore considers the SDGs an opportunity to 
better  measure  and  assess  its  contribution  to  society  as  a  whole. 
The Group manages its activities and assesses its performance on 
the basis of the three sustainable development pillars, namely financial 
results  (Profit),  value  creation  for  stakeholders  (People)  and 
preservation of ecosystems (Planet) (refer also to chapter 5). 

1.5.3.1  Commitments and indicators of progress 

Safety, health, climate, the environment and also shared development, 
in  every  country  where  the  Group  is  present,  TOTAL  steers  its 
operations  with  the  aim  of  working  in  a  sustainable,  active  and 
positive  manner.  The  Group  was  one  of  the  first  in  the  industry  to

1  PRESENTATION OF THE GROUP – INTEGRATED REPORT 

An organizational structure to support the Group’s ambition 

1.5.3.2  Support for global initiatives 

Aside  from  complying  with  national  regulations  in  force  in  every 
country where the Group operates, TOTAL reiterates each year, since 
2002, its support for the United Nations Global Compact, of which it 
is one of the companies recognized as LEAD. The Group also made 
a  commitment  to  respect  the  UN  Guiding  Principles  for  Business 
and Human Rights following their adoption in 2011. 

The challenges posed by climate change require a collective effort. 
The Group has played an active role in various international initiatives 
that involve the private and the public sectors to bring about notably: 

—  carbon  pricing  (the  World  Bank’s  Carbon  Pricing  Leadership 
Coalition, Caring for Climate – United Nations Global Compact, 
Paying for Carbon call: TOTAL and five other industry leaders); 

—  financial transparency: the Group has adhered to the Extractive 

Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) since its launch in 2002; 

—  the fight against corruption: TOTAL joined the Partnering Against 
Corruption Initiative (PACI) in 2016 and the Chairman and Chief 
Executive Officer now sits on the Board of PACI (“PACI Vanguard”); 

—  the challenge of security and respect for human rights by being 
a  member  of  the  Voluntary  Principles  on  Security  and  Human 
Rights (VPSHR) since 2012; 

—  diversity:  TOTAL  signed  in  2010  the  “Women’s  Empowerment 
Principles  –  Equality  Means  Business”  set  out  by  the  United 
Nations  Global  Compact,  and  in  2018  it  signed  the  pledge  for 
diversity as part of the European Roundtable of Industrialists; 

—  biodiversity: TOTAL joined in 2018 the Act4Nature initiative and 

—  the  end  of  routine  flaring  of  associated  gas  (the  World  Bank’s 

made commitments to protect biodiversity; 

Zero Routine Flaring by 2030 initiative); 

—  control over methane emissions (Oil & Gas Methane Partnership 
of  the  Climate  and  Clean  Air  Coalition,  the  Oil  &  Gas  Climate 
Initiative in cooperation with UN Environment and EDF, etc.); and 

—  greater transparency: support of the recommendations from the 
G20  Financial  Stability  Board  Task  Force  on  Climate- related 
Financial Disclosures (TCFD). 

TOTAL  also  actively  supports  collaborative  and  multi- stakeholder 
initiatives  in  areas  in  which  the  coordinated  involvement  of 
governments, companies and civil society is key to global progress, 
particularly: 

—  the  circular  economy:  TOTAL  is  a  founding  member  of  the 
Alliance  to  End  Plastic  Waste,  launched  in  2019,  which  brings 
together companies in the plastics and consumer goods value 
chain to provide solutions for the disposal of plastic waste in the 
environment, especially in oceans, and to promote their recycling 
in a circular economy; 

—  better  access  to  energy  for  populations  of  emerging  countries 

through a partnership with SE4All; 

—  the  reduction  of  inequalities  through  the  development  of  social 
dialogue to favor more inclusive economic growth: TOTAL was 
one of the first French companies to adhere to the Global Deal 
initiative at the end of 2017. 

1.6  An organizational structure to support 

the Group’s ambition 

1.6.1  TOTAL S.A., parent company of the Group and its subsidiaries

PRESENTATION OF THE GROUP – INTEGRATED REPORT 

An organizational structure to support the Group’s ambition  1 

TOTAL S.A. has not taken any other stake in companies with their 
registered  office  in  France  representing  more  than  one-twentieth, 
one- tenth,  one- fifth,  one- third  or  one- half  of  the  capital  of  these 
companies or has not obtained control of such companies. 

1 

In order to improve efficiency, reduce costs and create value within 
the Group, a specific branch, Total Global Services (TGS), pools the 
various  segments’  support  services  (Accounting,  Purchasing, 
Information Systems, Training, Human Resources Administration and 
Facilities  Management).  The  entities  that  make  up  TGS  operate  as 
service companies for internal clients across the business segments 
and Holding. 

Finally,  the  various  Corporate  entities  are  mainly  grouped  into  two 
divisions: 

—  the People & Social Responsibility division consists of: the Human 
Resources division, the Health, Safety and Environment division, 
which combines HSE departments across the different segments 
to  establish  a  strong,  unified  environmental  and  safety  model, 
the Security division, and the Civil Society Engagement Division; 

—  the  Strategy-Innovation  division  is  made  of:  the  Strategy  & 
Climate division (responsible notably for ensuring that climate is 
incorporated in the strategy), the Public Affairs division, the Audit 
& Internal Control division, the Research & Development division 
(which coordinates all of the Group’s R&D activities and notably 
transversal programs), the Technology Experts division and the 
Digital division. 

The changes in the composition of the Group during fiscal year 2018 
are  explained  in  Note  2  of  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements 
(refer to point 8.7 of  chapter  8).  In 2018,  TOTAL S.A., the Group’s 
parent company, acquired 100% of the shares of Direct Énergie SA, 
following a takeover bid following an initial acquisition, 100% of the 
shares of Pont- sur- Sambre Power SAS and 100% of the shares of 
Toul Power SAS. 

1.6.2  An operational structure 

On  an  operational  level,  the  Group’s  businesses  are  organized  in 
business  segments,  which  receive  assistance  from  the  corporate 
functional divisions. 

As  of  December  31,  2018,  the  Group’s  organization  was  centered 
around four business segments, i.e., Exploration & Production, Gas, 
Renewables & Power, Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services: 

—  the Exploration & Production segment encompasses the Group’s 
exploration and production activities in more than 50 countries. 
The Group produces oil and gas in approximately 30 countries; 

—  the Gas, Renewables & Power segment spearheads the Group’s 
ambition in low-carbon energies. It comprises gas activities that 
are  conducted  downstream  of  the  production  process  and 
concerns  natural  gas,  liquefied  natural  gas  (LNG)  and  liquefied 
petroleum  gas  (LPG),  as  well  as  power  generation,  gas  and 
power  trading  and  marketing.  It  also  develops  the  Group’s 
renewable energy activities (excluding biotechnologies) and the 
power  storage.  Energy  efficiency  activities  are  represented 
through a dedicated Innovation & Energy Efficiency division; 

—  the Refining & Chemicals segment is a large industrial segment 
that  encompasses  refining  and  petrochemical  activities  and 
Hutchinson’s operations. It also includes oil Trading & Shipping 
activities; 

—  the  Marketing  &  Services  segment  includes  worldwide  supply 
and marketing activities in the oil products and services field.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW FOR FISCAL YEAR 2018 

Exploration & Production segment 

2.1.1  Presentation of the segment 

Exploration & Production (E&P)’s mission is to discover and develop 
oil and gas fields in order to meet a growing energy demand driven 
by non- OECD countries. Safety is a core value for that mission. 

In  an  environment  marked  by  the  strong  volatility  of  hydrocarbon 
prices, E&P’s strategy is to develop an oil and gas production model 
that is resilient (i.e., able to withstand a long period of low oil and gas 
prices), profitable and sustainable. 

The deployment of the strategy is based on three main levers: 

—  increase  profitability:  E&P  strives  to  maximize  the  value  of  its 
assets  through  operational  excellence  and  to  ensure  strict 
investment discipline by being selective in the sanctioning of new 
projects.  In  addition,  E&P  continues  to  restructure  or  sell  the 
least efficient assets in its portfolio ; 

—  develop operational excellence: in order to ensure its resilience, 
E&P  continues  to  reduce  costs,  improve  the  efficiency  of  its 
facilities  and  start  up  projects  on  time  and  within  budget.  E&P 
also seeks to minimize the environmental impact of its activities; 
and 

—  renew  reserves,  through  exploration  as  well  as  by  accessing 
already  discovered  resources,  building  on  E&P’s  competitive 
advantages in terms of geographical spread and technical skills. 

2.1.2  Exploration and development 

TOTAL  evaluates  exploration  opportunities  based  on  a  variety  of 
geological, 
tax  and 
contractual terms) environmental and societal factors. 

technical,  political,  economic 

(including 

The exploration strategy deployed since 2015 aims to prioritize the 
most promising drill targets with a view to creating value. The Group 
plans balanced exploration investments: 

—  50% for emerging basins, where the presence of hydrocarbons 

is already proven ; 

—  35% for exploration in mature hydrocarbon plays; and 

—  15% for high- potential frontier basins. 

2.1.3  Reserves 

E&P  put  10  major  projects  into  production  in  2018.  Thanks  to  a 
significant decrease of its capital investments, which peaked in 2013, 
E&P  restored  some  flexibility  that  enabled  it  to  take  some 
opportunities, with, in particular, in 2018 the acquisition of assets in 
Brazil, Libya and the United States, the extension of assets in Abu 
Dhabi  and  the  acquisition  of  Mærsk  Olie  og  Gas  A/S,  (Mærsk  Oil), 
which has assets in ten countries, and to launch new projects, taking 
advantage of the lower costs in the current environment. 

For  the  period  2018- 2020,  E&P  has  already  launched,  or  plans  to 
launch,  numerous  projects  with  a  potential  aggregate  output  in 
excess of 700 kboe/d. 

All these actions are expected to increase production by an average 
of 6- 7% per year for the period 2017- 2020, in line with the production 
growth target of 5% per year on average between 2017 and 2022. 

In  order  to  take  account  of  issues  related  to  climate  change  in  its 
strategy,  E&P  is  focusing  its  oil  investments  on  low  break- even 
projects, developing the production of gas, integrating a CO2 price in 
its investment decisions and developing expertise in technologies for 
carbon capture, use and storage. 

In  2018,  exploration  expenditure  by  all  E&P  subsidiaries  was 
$1.2 billion, mainly in the United States, Guyana, the United Kingdom, 
Norway, Myanmar, French Guiana, Mexico, South Africa, Azerbaijan 
and Nigeria compared to $1.2 billion in 2017 and $1.4 billion in 2016. 

Organic  investments (1)  by  all  E&P  subsidiaries  were  $9.2  billion(2)  in 
2018, compared to $11.3 billion (2)  in 2017 and $14.5 billion in 2016, 
and were mainly in Australia, Norway, Angola, the United Kingdom, 
the  Republic  of  Congo,  the  United  Arab  Emirates,  Brazil,  Nigeria, 
Canada, the United States, Iraq, Italy and Uganda. 

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  economically  producible  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 extensions, 
disposal and acquisitions 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

The reserves booking process requires, among other actions: 

—  that an internal peer review of technical evaluations is carried out 
to  ensure  that  the  SEC  definitions  and  guidance  are  followed ; 
and 

—  that  management  makes  the  necessary  funding  commitments 

to their development prior to booking. 

For further information concerning the reserves and their evaluation 
process, refer to points 9.1 and 9.2 of chapter 9. 

2.1.3.1  Proved reserves for 2018, 2017 and 2016 

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  average  reference 
prices for Brent crude for 2018, 2017 and 2016 were, respectively, 
$71.43/b, $54.36/b and $42.82/b. 

As of December 31, 2018, TOTAL’s combined proved reserves of oil 
and gas were 12,050 Mboe (70% of which were proved developed 
reserves).  Liquids  (crude  oil,  condensates,  natural  gas  liquids  and 
bitumen)  represented  approximately  50%  of  these  reserves  and 
natural gas 50%. These reserves were located in Europe and Central 
Asia  (mainly  in  Kazakhstan,  Norway,  The  United  Kingdom  and 
Russia), Africa (mainly in Angola, Nigeria and the Republic of Congo), 
the Americas (mainly in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, the United States 
and Venezuela), the Middle East and North Africa (mainly in the United 
Arab  Emirates,  Qatar,  and  Yemen),  and  Asia- Pacific  (mainly  in 
Australia). 

Gas and associated products (condensates and natural gas liquids) 
represented approximatively 57% of the reserves whilst crude oil and 
bitumen the remaining 43%. 

Discoveries  of  new  fields  and  extensions  of  existing  fields  added 
1,421 Mboe to TOTAL’s proved reserves during the three years 2016, 
2017 and 2018 before deducting production and sales of reserves 
and adding any reserves acquired during this period. The net level of 
reserve  revisions  during  this  3- year  period  is  +1,383  Mboe,  which 

2.1.4  Production 

was mainly due to the overall positive revisions in field behaviors and 
to  the  net  impact  of  the  changes  in  hydrocarbon  prices  in  2016 
(decrease), in 2017 (increase) and in 2018 (increase) that led either to 
a  reserves  decrease  or  increase  resulting  from  shorter  or  longer 
producing life of certain producing fields and from partial debooking 
or  rebooking  of  proved  undeveloped  reserves  due  to  economic 
reasons,  partially  offset  by  reserves  increase  or  decrease  on  fields 
with producing sharing or risked service contracts. 

As of December 31, 2017, TOTAL’s combined proved reserves of oil 
and gas were 11,475 Mboe (61% of which were proved developed 
reserves)  compared  to  11,518  Mboe  (58%  of  which  were  proved 
developed reserves) as of December 31, 2016. 

2.1.3.2 Reserve 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 18% of TOTAL’s 
reserves as of December 31, 2018). 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.  The  more  the  oil  prices 
decrease,  the  more  the  number  of  barrels  necessary  to  cover  the 
same  amount  of  expenses.  Moreover,  the  number  of  barrels 
economically producible 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 
in reserves is partly offset by a reduction of the duration over which 
fields are economically producible. However, the effect of a reduction 
of the duration of production is usually inferior to the impact of the 
drop  in  prices  in  production  sharing  contracts  or  risked  service 
contracts.  As  a  result,  lower  prices  usually  lead  to  an  increase  in 
TOTAL’s  reserves,  and  vice  versa.  In  Canada,  a  decrease  in  the 
reference  price  per  barrel  leads  to  a  decrease  in  the  volume  of 
royalties and, therefore, an increase of the reserves. 

Finally, 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,  and  vice 
versa. 

The  average  daily  production  of  liquids  and  natural  gas  was 
2,775  kboe/d  in  2018  compared  to  2,566  kboe/d  in  2017  and 
2,452 kboe/d in 2016. Liquids represented approximately 56% and 
natural gas approximately 44% of TOTAL’s overall production in 2018. 

Gas and associated products (condensates and natural gas liquids) 
represented  approximately  50%  of  TOTAL’s  overall  production  in 
2018, whilst crude oil and bitumen the remaining 50%. 

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 an 
operator  (the  party  responsible  for  technical  production)  on  the 
acreage in which it holds an interest. For further information, refer to 
the table on producing assets by geographical zone in point 2.1.8 of 
this chapter. 

The  Trading  &  Shipping  division  of  TOTAL’s  Refining  &  Chemicals 
segment marketed in 2018, as in 2017 and 2016, substantially all of 
the  liquids  production  from  TOTAL’s  Exploration  &  Production 
segment(refer to table regarding Trading’s crude oil sales and supply 
and petroleum products sales in point 2.3.2.1 of this chapter). 

2.1.5  Delivery commitments 

The  majority  of  TOTAL’s  natural  gas  production  is  sold  under 
long- term contracts. However, most of its North American and United 
Kingdom production, and part of its production from Denmark, the 
Netherlands, Norway and Russia, 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,  such  as  in  Bolivia,  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 
fixed  and  determinable 
quantity  of  gas  to  be  delivered  over  the  period  2019- 2021  to  be 

the

Exploration & Production segment 

4,751  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 
points 9.1 and 9.2 of chapter 9). 

2.1.6  Contractual framework of activities 

Licenses,  permits  and  contracts  governing  the  Group  entities’ 
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  or  sometimes  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 (or 
consortium) 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 or the consortium’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 (the contractor) or consortium 
(the  contracting  group)  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 contractor (or contractor 
group) undertakes the execution and financing, at its own risk, of all 
exploration, development or operational activities. 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  contractor  (or  the 
contracting  group),  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. 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 or determinable cash monetary remuneration, 
agreed  by  contract,  which  depends  notably  on  field  performance 
parameters such as the amount of barrels produced. 

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.

2.1.9  Activities by geographical zone 

The information below describes the Group’s main exploration and 
production  activities  presented  by  geographical  zone (1),  without 
detailing all of the assets held by TOTAL. In each zone, the countries 
are  presented  in  decreasing  order  of  production.  The  capacities 
referred to herein are expressed on a 100% basis, regardless of the 
Group’s stake in the asset(2). 

Snøhvit  (18.4%)  and  Troll  (3.69%).  TOTAL  has  equity  stakes  in 
66 production licenses on the Norwegian maritime continental shelf, 
14 of which it operates. The Group also holds an 18.4% stake in the 
gas  liquefaction  plant  of  Snøhvit  (capacity  of  4.2  Mt/y).  This  plant, 
located  in  the  Barents  Sea,  is  supplied  with  production  from  the 
Snøhvit and Albatross gas fields. 

2.1.9.1  Europe and Central Asia 

In 2018, TOTAL’s production in the zone of Europe and Central 
Asia  was  909  kboe/d,  representing  33%  of  the  Group’s  total 
production, compared to 761 kboe/d in 2017 and 757 kboe/d in 
2016.  The  two  main  producing  countries  in  this  zone  in  2018 
were Russia and Norway. 

In Russia, where the largest percentage of TOTAL’s proved reserves 
are located (21% as of December 31, 2018), the Group’s production 
was  389  kboe/d  in  2018,  compared  to  318  kboe/d  in  2017  and 
335 kboe/d in 2016. This production comes from TOTAL’s stake in 
PAO Novatek (3), as well as from the Termokarstovoye (4) and Kharyaga 
fields  (20%)  and,  since  the  end  of  2017,  the  Yamal  LNG  project 
(20%).  Since  2015,  Russia  has  been  the  leading  country  to  the 
Group’s production. 

TOTAL participates in the Yamal LNG project. In 2013, the company 
OAO  Yamal  LNG (5)  launched  this  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  a  total  LNG  capacity  of  16.5  Mt/y.  The  Yamal  LNG  project’s 
financing  was  finalized  in  2016  in  compliance  with  applicable 
regulations.  At  the  end  of  2017,  the  Yamal  LNG  plant  started 
production with the first shipment aboard “Christophe de Margerie”. 
The second liquefaction train of the Yamal plant, with a capacity of 
5.5  Mt/y,  produced  its  first  shipment  of  LNG  in  August  2018.  The 
third  liquefaction  train  started  production  in  November  2018,  more 
than one year ahead of the schedule planned when the project was 
launched. A fourth liquefaction train at small capacity (0.9 Mt/y), using 
PAO Novatek proprietary technology,  is under construction. 

In May 2018, TOTAL signed an agreement with Novatek to acquire a 
stake  in  Arctic  LNG  2,  the  giant  new  LNG  project  led  by  Novatek. 
The  agreement  provides  for  the  acquisition  by  TOTAL  of  a  direct 
10% interest in the project, which could be increased to 15% under 
certain conditions. The interest acquisition is effective further to the 
signing of the final contracts beginning of March 2019. Located on 
the  Gydan  Peninsula,  facing  Yamal,  Arctic  LNG  2  will  have  a 
production  capacity  of  19.8  Mt/y,  and  will  use  the  hydrocarbon 
resources  from  the  giant  Utrenneye  onshore  gas  and  condensate 
field. The project will use the new gravity- based structures technology, 
with the installation of three gravity- based structures in Ob Bay that 
will  host  the  three  liquefaction  trains  of  6.6  Mt/y  capacity  each.  It 
should benefit from possible synergies with the Yamal LNG project. 
The  agreement  also  enables  TOTAL  to  acquire  a  direct  stake  of 
between  10%  and  15%  in  all  future  Novatek  LNG  projects  on  the 
Yamal and Gydan peninsulas. 

In September 2018, TOTAL increased its stake from 18.9% to 19.4% 
of  Novatek’s  share  capital,  which  is  the  maximum  set  forth  in  the 
initial 2011 agreement. 

For further information on international economic sanctions applicable 
in Russia, refer to point 3.1.9 of chapter 3. 

In  Norway,  the  Group’s  production  was  211  kboe/d  in  2018, 
compared  to  239  kboe/d  in  2017  and  235  kboe/d  in  2016.  This 
production comes from a multitude of fields, notably Ekofisk (39.9%), 

As part of the continual improvement of its North Sea portfolio, the 
Group has made a number of acquisitions and sales: 

—  the acquisition of an 8.44% interest in the Johan Sverdrup field, 

further to the acquisition of Mærsk Oil in March 2018; 

—  the announcement of the acquisition of a 12.35% interest of the 
Teesside  terminal  on  Ekofisk  in  June  2018,  increasing  TOTAL’s 
interest from 32.87% to 45.22%; 

—  the  finalization  of  the  disposal  of  its  interest  in  Polarled  and 

Nyhamna in the Norwegian Sea zone in October 2018; 

—  the disposal of a 51% interest with the operatorship in the Martin 
Linge field, and of a 40% interest of the Garantiana discovery in 
the Greater Hild zone in March 2018; 

—  the finalization of the disposal of an interest with the operator’s 
role in the Trell (40%), Trine (64%), Rind (62.13%) and Alve Nord 
(100%)  discoveries  in  the  Heimdal  and  Haltenbanken  areas,  in 
November 2018; 

—  the  disposal  of  a  7.7%  interest  in  the  Visund  field  in  January 
2018 and of a 57% interest in the Victoria discovery in January 
2019; and 

—  the  disposal  of  7.65%  interest  in  the  Mikkel  field  in  the 
Haltenbanken area, approved by the authority in December 2018, 
and closed in 2019. 

In  the  United  Kingdom,  the  Group’s  production  in  2018  was 
179 kboe/d, compared with 142 kboe/d in 2017 and 158 kboe/d in 
2016. This increase was driven in particular by the assets held in the 
Quad 9 and 15 areas of the eastern North Sea and Quad 30 in the 
Central Graben, integrated following the finalization of the acquisition 
of Mærsk Oil in March 2018. 

—  In the Alwyn area (100%), production from the Alwyn and Dunbar 
fields  represents  45%  of  this  area.  The  rest  of  the  production 
comes from satellites linked to these fields. The drilling of an infill 
well in Alwyn is in progress. 

—  In the Central Graben, TOTAL holds stakes (46.17%, operator) 
in  the  Elgin,  Franklin  and  West  Franklin  fields  and  (58.73%, 
operator) in the Glenelg field. The West Franklin Phase II project 
was  completed  in  2016.  The  Elgin  redevelopment  project 
includes the drilling of five wells. Four wells have been completed 
since 2016 and the fifth is in progress. Elsewhere, the drilling of a 
new  infill  well  in  Elgin  is  also  in  progess.  In  the  Quad  30  area, 
the  Group  holds  a  stake  in  the  Flyndre  field  (65.94%). 
The Culzean field (49.99%, operator) is under development and 
is expected to come into production in 2019. TOTAL announced 
a discovery on the Glengorm prospect (25%), close to existing 
infrastructures operated by TOTAL, in January 2019. 

—  In the West of Shetland area, TOTAL hold stakes (60%, operator) 
in the producing fields Laggan and Tormore, and Edradour and 
Glenlivet. In September 2018, the Group announced a discovery 
of  gas  in  the  Glendronach  prospect,  which  is  under  appraisal. 
The  total  capacity  of  the  Shetland  gas  treatment  plant  is 
90 kboe/d. 

(1)  The geographical zones are as follows: Europe and Central Asia; Africa (excluding North Africa); Middle East and North Africa; Americas; and Asia- Pacific. 
(2)  For information on asset impairments, refer to Note 3 to the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements (point 8.7 of chapter 8). 
(3)  A Russian company listed on the Moscow and London stock exchanges and in which the Group held an interest of 19.4% as of December 31, 2018. 
(4)  The development and production license of Termokarstovoye onshore gas and condensates field is held by ZAO Terneftegas, a joint- venture between Novatek and TOTAL (49%). 
(5)  OAO  Yamal  LNG  is  held  by  PAO  Novatek,  Total  E&P  Yamal  (20.02%),  China  National  Oil  &  Gas  Exploration  and  Development  (CNODC),  a  subsidiary  of  China  National  Petroleum 

Corporation (CNPC), and Silk Road Fund.

Exploration & Production segment 

—  In  the  Quad  9  area  in  the  eastern  North  Sea,  the  Group  holds 
stakes and the role of operator in the Gryphon (86.5%), Maclure 
(38.19%), South Gryphon (89.88%) and Tullich (100%) fields. In 
the  Quad  15  area,  the  Group  holds  a  100%  stake  in  the 
Dumbarton, Balloch, and Lochranza fields. 

In 2018, TOTAL maintained its interests in the PEDL 273, 305 and 
316 shale gas exploration and production licenses (20%), after sales 
of interests in various licenses and leases in 2017. 

In November 2018, the Group disposed of 42.25% interests in the 
Bruce field retaining 1% and its entire interest in Keith field (25%). 

In  Kazakhstan,  the  Group’s  production  was  70  kboe/d  in  2018, 
compared with 42 kboe/d in 2017 and 4 kboe/d in 2016. This comes 
mainly  from  the  Kashagan  field  operated  by  the  North  Caspian 
Operating Company (NCOC) in the North Caspian license (16.81%). 
The  production  of  the  first  phase  of  the  Kashagan  field  and  of  the 
corresponding  plant  started  in  2016,  and  the  ramp- up  of  the 
production  is  underway  in  order  to  reach  the  planned  capacity  of 
370 kb/d. Following the finalization of the acquisition of Mærsk Oil in 
March  2018,  the  Group  holds  an  interest  in  the  Dunga  field  (60%, 
operator). 

In  Denmark,  TOTAL  is  present  through  its  31.2%  stake  with  an 
operator’s  role  in  the  assets  operated  by  the  Danish  Underground 
Consortium  (DUC),  following  the  finalization  of  the  acquisition  of 
Mærsk Oil in March 2018. In September 2018, TOTAL also signed 
an agreement to acquire the entire capital of Chevron Denmark Inc. 
This acquisition, which is expected to be closed in 2019, will increase 
the  Groupe’s  interest  in  DUC  to  43.2%.  In  2018,  the  Group’s 
production was 42 kboe/d. The 100%- operated production comes 
from two main DUC assets: the Dan/Halfdan and Gorm/Tyra fields. 
The  Tyra  field  facilities  constitute  the  main  gas  treatment  hub  in 
Denmark.  The  Tyra  field  must  be  redeveloped  due  to  subsidence 
problems, and is expected to restart in 2022. 

In the Netherlands, the Group’s production was 18 kboe/d in 2018 
compared  to  20  kboe/d  in  2017  and  25  kboe/d  in  2016. 
This decrease is due to natural field decline. In 2018, TOTAL holds 
interests  in  22  offshore  production  licenses,  including  18  that  it 
operates. In 2017, production on platforms L7 and F15 stopped and 
the platforms will be dismantled. 

In Italy, TOTAL holds stakes in the Tempa Rossa field (50%, operator) 
located on the Gorgoglione concession (Basilicate region), as well as 
three  exploration  licenses.  Construction  works  and  commissioning 
activities are finalized and the start of production is expected in 2019 
subject to the Basilicata region’s authorities authorization. 

In Azerbaijan, TOTAL signed an agreement in 2016 establishing the 
contractual and commercial conditions for a first phase of production 
of  the  Absheron  gas  and  condensate  field  (50%),  which  is  located 
in  the  Caspian  Sea  and  was  discovered  by  TOTAL  in  2011. 
The production capacity of this high pressure field is expected to be 
35 kboe/d and the gas produced will supply Azerbaijan’s domestic 
market.  Drilling  operations  started  in  February  2018  and  the  main 
facilities  construction  contracts  were  awarded  in  July  and  October 
2018.  The  role  of  operator  was  transferred  to  the  joint  TOTAL  and 
SOCAR company (JOCAP) in August 2018. 

In Bulgaria, where TOTAL has been present since 2012, the Group 
drilled  the  Polshkov  deep  offshore  exploration  well  in  2016  on  the 
Han  Asparuh  Block  (40%,  operator),  with  a  surface  area  of 
14,220 km², 100 km offshore in the Black Sea, which revealed the 
presence of oil. The second and third wells drilled in 2017 and 2018 
accordingly were expensed in 2018. 

In  Greece,  TOTAL  (50%,  operator)  and  its  partners  have  held  the 
exploration license for the offshore Block 2 in the Ionian Sea since 
March 2018. TOTAL undertook geological and seismic analysis, after 
which  the  Group  will  decide  to  continue  or  not  the  works  on  this 
license.  Elsewhere,  TOTAL  (40%,  operator)  and  its  partners  were 
chosen  to  explore  two  offshore  blocks  south- west  of  Crete.  The 
license is expected to be attributed definitively in 2019. 

Rest of the Europe and Central Asia area 

TOTAL also holds interests (33.35%) in an exploration license without 
activity in Tajikistan. In October 2018, the Group signed a cooperation 
the  state- owned  company 
agreement 
UzbekNefteGas to appraise the exploration potential of six blocks in 
the north- east of the country.

2.1.9.2  Africa (excluding North Africa) 

In 2018, TOTAL’s production in the Africa zone (1) was 670 kboe/d, 
representing  24%  of  the  Group’s  total  production,  compared 
with 654 kboe/d in 2017 and 634 kboe/d in 2016. The two main 
producing  countries  in  this  zone  in  2018  were  Nigeria  and 
Angola. 

In  Nigeria,  the  Group’s  production,  primarily  offshore,  was 
284  kboe/d  in  2018  compared  to  267  kboe/d  in  2017  and 
243  kboe/d  in  2016.  This  increase  in  production  comes  from 
additional opportunities for gas exports to Nigeria LNG Ltd (NLNG) 
and from the development of Ofon phase 2 (OML 102). 

TOTAL operates five production licenses (OML) on the 33 leases in 
which the Group has interests (including one exploration licenses). 

TOTAL has offshore operations (production was 183 kboe/d in 2018) 
notably on the following leases: 

—  on OML 130 (24%, operator), the production from the Egina field 
started in December 2018. At plateau, the Egina field is expected 
to  produce  200  kboe/d.  The  Preowei  field  development  plan 
was filed with partners and authorities in 2018; 

—  on OML 139 (18%), the plan to develop the Owowo discovery, 
made  in  2012,  is  under  study.  This  discovery  is  near  the  OML 
138 license (20%), where the Usan field is in production; 

—  on  OML  102  (40%,  operator),  the  drilling  of  the  23  additional 

wells (Ofon, phase 2) was completed in 2018; 

—  on  OML  99  (40%,  operator),  the  engineering  studies  for  the 
development of the Ikike have been completed and the tender 
process for the construction is in progress; and 

—  on OML 118 (12.5%) the tender phase of the Bonga South West 
Aparo  project  (10%  unitized)  has  been  launched  in  February 
2019. 

TOTAL also has onshore operations (production was 102 kboe/d in 
2018), notably: 

—  on OML 58 (40%, operator), as part of the joint- venture with the 
Nigerian  National  Petroleum  Corporation  (NNPC).  It  has  been 
supplying  gas  to  NLNG  and  on  the  domestic  Nigerian  market 
since 2016; and 

—  in  relation  to  the  SPDC  joint- venture  (10%),  which  holds 
20  production  licenses  (of  which  17  are  located  onshore),  the 
2018  production  was  58  kboe/d  (of  which  54  kboe/d  was 
onshore). The sale process of OML 25 is underway. TOTAL has 
obtained an extension of 16 licences for a 20-year period. 

TOTAL is also developing LNG activities with a 15% stake in NLNG, 
which  owns  a  liquefaction  plant  with  a  22  Mt/y  total  capacity. 
The tender process for the engineering works for the construction of 
about 7 Mt/y of additional capacity started in mid- 2018.

In Angola, where TOTAL is the leading oil operator in the country (1), 
the  Group’s  production  was  211  kboe/d  in  2018  compared  to 
229 kboe/d in 2017 and 243 kboe/d in 2016. It comes from Blocks 
17, 14, 0 and 32: 

—  deep offshore Block 17 (40%, operator), TOTAL’s main asset in 
Angola,  is  composed  of  four  major  producing  hubs:  Girassol, 
Dalia, Pazflor and CLOV. In 2018, TOTAL and its partners decided 
to launch three brownfield projects: Zinia Phase 2, Clov Phase 2 
and Dalia Phase 3. These projects are satellite developments of 
the Pazflor, CLOV and Dalia FPSOs, and are expected to start 
up production in 2020 and 2021; 

—  on the ultra deep offshore Block 32 (30%, operator), production 
of the Kaombo project started in July 2018 with the start- up of 
the Kaombo Norte FPSO (capacity of 115 kb/d). The start- up of 
the  second  Kaombo  Sul  FPSO,  with  the  same  capacity,  is 
expected  in  2019.  The  discoveries  in  the  central  and  northern 
parts  of  the  Block  (outside  Kaombo)  offer  additional  potential 
and are currently being assessed; 

—  on  Block  14 

the 
Tombua- Landana and Kuito fields as well as the BBLT project, 
comprising the Benguela, Belize, Lobito and Tomboco fields; 

(20%) (2),  production  comes 

from 

—  Block  14K  (36.75%)  is  the  offshore  unitization  area  between 
Angola  (Block  14)  and  the  Republic  of  the  Congo  (Haute  Mer 
license). TOTAL’s interest in the Lianzi field is held at 10% through 
Angola Block 14 BV and 26.75% through Total E&P Congo; 

—  on  Block  0  (10%),  the  second  phase  of  the  Mafumeira  field 

development project started production in 2017; 

—  on  Block  48  (50%,  operator),  TOTAL  obtained  the  licence  in 
2018. The first phase of this program is expected to last for two 
years with the drilling of one exploration well; and 

—  TOTAL is also operator of the blocks 25 and 40 (35% and 40% 
respectively) in the offshore Kwanza basin. Exploration works did 
not enabled to confirm the basin’s potential. 

TOTAL is also developing its LNG activities through the Angola LNG 
project (13.6%), which includes a gas liquefaction plant with a total 
capacity  of  5.2  Mt/y  near  Soyo,  supplied  by  gas  associated  with 
production from Blocks 0, 14, 15, 17, 18 and 32. LNG production 
resumed  in  2016.  Following  work  to  increase  the  reliability  of  the 
facilities,  the  plant  has  been  capable  of  processing  all  of  the  gas 
supplied since 2017. 

In the Republic of the Congo, the Group’s production, through its 
subsidiary Total E&P Congo (3), was 136 kboe/d in 2018 compared to 
104 kboe/d in 2017 and 90 kboe/d in 2016. 

—  Two major assets are in production on the Moho Bilondo license: 
the  Moho  Bilondo  field  (53.5%,  operator),  of  which  phase  1b 
came into production in 2015, and the Moho Nord field, which 
reached  its  production  plateau  at  the  end  of  2017.  The  Moho 
Nord  field  has  been  producing  more  than  its  capacity  of 
100 kboe/d since the start of 2018 due to the strong productivity 
of the wells. 

—  Block  14K  (36.75%)  is  the  offshore  unitization  area  between 
Angola  (Block  14)  and  the  Republic  of  the  Congo  (Haute  Mer

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, after the seismic delineation 
works, TOTAL notified in January 2019 the authorities its withdrawal 
from Block III. 

In Gabon, the Group’s production was 39 kboe/d in 2018 compared 
to 54 kboe/d in 2017 and 58 kboe/d in 2016. In September 2018, 
TOTAL  finalized  the  sale  of  a  residual  interest  of  32.9%  in  the 
Rabi- Kounga onshore field, thereby completing a strategic shift of its 
activities to offshore Nord, following the sale in 2017 of interests in 
certain onshore and offshore fields representing production of 13 kboe/d. 

The Group’s activities in Gabon are exclusively carried out by Total 
Gabon (4).  Total  Gabon  wholly  owns  and  operates  the  Anguille  and 
Torpille sector offshore fields, the Mandji Island sector onshore fields 
and  the  Cap  Lopez  oil  terminal.  In  November  2018,  Total  Gabon 
launched a drilling campaign on Torpille, as part of the first phase of 
the redevelopment of the field. 

In  Uganda,  TOTAL  is  present  in  the  Lake  Albert  project,  a  major 
project for the Group, via a stake in licenses EA- 1, EA- 1A, EA- 2 and 
EA- 3 (Kingfisher). TOTAL is the operator of licenses EA- 1 and EA- 1A. 
In January 2017, TOTAL signed an agreement to acquire 21.57% of 
the 33.33% interest held by Tullow in the licenses. TOTAL will take 
over operatorship from Tullow of the northern portion of license EA- 2, 
enabling significant efficiency gains and synergies for the development 
of the northern part of the project (known as Tilenga). China National 
Offshore  Oil  Corporation  (CNOOC)  has  exercised  its  pre- emption 
right on 50% of the interest acquired. The agreement remains subject 
to approval by the Ugandan authorities. Following the finalization of 
the  transaction,  TOTAL  is  expected  to  own  a  44.1%  stake  in  the 
Lake Albert project. The State of Uganda retains the right to take a 
stake of 15% in the four licences (when the final investment decision 
is made). The exercise of this right would reduce TOTAL’s interest to 
37.5%. 

The tender process for the front end engineering and design (FEED) 
work for the upstream part of the project was launched in 2018 and 
the construction contract for surface installations is expected to be 
awarded  in  2019.  Similarly,  drilling  work  was  the  subject  of 
competitive bidding in 2018 and award of the contracts is expected 
in 2019. The pipeline engineering works were finalized at the end of 
2017, and the calls for tender for the construction of the facilities are 
in progress. 

In Mauritania, TOTAL strengthened its exploration position through 
the signature of four new deep offshore licenses (Blocks C7 and C18 
in 2017 and Blocks C15 and C31 in 2018). These licenses added to 
TOTAL’s portfolio, which already contained Block C9 since 2012. 

In Senegal, TOTAL signed two agreements to explore the country’s 
deep offshore potential in 2017 through the acquisition of the deep 
offshore Block Rufisque and a technical evaluation contract of ultra 
deep offshore ultra deep offshore. 

In  Kenya,  TOTAL  holds  45%  of  the  offshore  licenses  L11A,  L11B 
and  L12  and  25%  of  the  onshore  licenses  10BA,  10BB  and  13T 
where oil discoveries have been made. 

In South Africa, TOTAL has entered several agreements to step up 
its exploration efforts in the country, and the drilling of an exploration 
well  started  in  December  2018  in  the  offshore11B/12B  exploration 
license (45%, operated), located on the southern coast. In February 
2019,  TOTAL  announced  a  gas  condensate  discovery  on  the 
Brulpadda prospect.

compared  to  348  kboe/d  in  2017  and  279  kboe/d  in  2016. 
The two main producing countries in this zone in 2018 were the 
United States and Canada. 

In  the  United  States,  the  Group’s  production  was  119  kboe/d  in 
2018 compared to 123 kboe/d in 2017 and 86 kboe/d in 2016. 

In the Gulf of Mexico, TOTAL holds interests in the Tahiti (17%) and 
Chinook (33.33%) deep offshore fields, and, thanks to the acquisition 
of Mærsk Oil in March 2018, in the Jack (25%) field. The Tahiti Vertical 
Expansion  (TVEX)  project,  launched  in  2016,  started  production  in 
June  2018,  enabling  the  field  to  maintain  a  level  of  production  of 
about 100 kboe/d. Since the end of 2014, the Jack field has been 
sending  its  production  to  a  semi- submersible  platform  shared  with 
the Saint- Malo and Julia fields. 

In  January  2018,  TOTAL  acquired  12.5%  of  the  Anchor  discovery, 
when  it  took  over  Samson  Offshore  Anchor  LLC.  As  part  of  the 
process to wind up Cobalt International Energy in April 2018, TOTAL 
increased  its  stake  in  the  North  Platte  and  Anchor  deep  offshore 
discoveries by 20%. TOTAL now holds 60% of North Platte, which it 
now  operates,  and  32.5%  of  Anchor.  FEED  development  activities 
on Anchor commenced in 2018. 

The Group has also launched the appraisal program of the Ballymore 
discovery,  announced  in  January  2018,  in  which  it  holds  a  40% 
interest. 

In  its  Barnett  shale  gas  assets  (90.92%),  TOTAL  has  stabilized  the 
level  of  operated  production  through  a  program  of  works  in  2017 
and 2018. 

TOTAL also has an interest of 25% in a Chesapeake- operated asset 
that produces shale gas operated by Chesapeake in the Utica Basin 
(on an acreage mainly located in Ohio). TOTAL has not taken part in 
any drilling during the last three years. 

In Canada, the Group’s production increased to 95 kboe/d in 2018 
compared to 59 kboe/d in 2017 and 34 kboe/d in 2016. This increase 
is due: 

—  to  the  start- up  in  January  2018  and  the  rapid  ramp- up  during 
the year of production of the Fort Hills oil sands mining extraction 
project. In the fourth quarter of 2018, the project reached levels 
close  to  its  plateau  of  180  kboe/d.  Following  several  interest 
disposals in 2015 and 2017, TOTAL now holds a 24.58% stake 
in Fort Hills; and 

—  to  the  strong  operational  performance  of  the  Surmont  SAGD (1) 

oil sands project, in which TOTAL holds a 50% stake. 

In  September  2018,  TOTAL  sold  its  38.25%  stake  in  the  Joslyn 
project, which was suspended in 2014. 

In Argentina, TOTAL operated approximately 30%(2)  of the country’s 
gas production in 2018. The Group’s production was 79 kboe/d in 
2018, compared to 76 kboe/d in 2017 and 78 kboe/d in 2016: 

—  in Tierra del Fuego, on the CMA- 1 concession, TOTAL operates 
the Ara and Cañadon Alfa Complex onshore fields and the Hidra, 
Carina and Aries offshore fields (37.5%). In 2016, TOTAL started 
production on the Vega Pleyade offshore gas and condensates 
field  (37.5%,  operator),  which  has  a  production  capacity  of 
350 Mcf/d; and 

—  in  the  Neuquén  onshore  Basin,  the  Group  holds  interests  in 
10 licenses and operates 6 of them, including Aguada Pichana 
Este  and  San  Roque,  where  production  has  already  started. 
Three shale gas and oil pilot projects were launched: the first on 
the Aguada Pichana Block, where production started mid- 2015 
in  order  to  produce  gas;  the  second  on  the  Rincón  la  Ceniza 
Block, located on the gas and condensate portion of Vaca Muerta 
(45%, operator), where production started in 2016; and the third 
on the Aguada San Roque Block (24.71%, operator), which was 
launched in 2017 to produce oil. 

Following the good results of the Aguada Pichana pilot project and a 
reduction in drilling costs, the first phase of development of the giant 
Vaca Muerta shale play was launched in 2017 in the eastern part of 
the Block. In this project, all the partners of Aguada Pichana, Total 
Austral  S.A.  (27.27%,  operator),  YPF  S.A.  (27.27%),  Wintershall 
Energia S.A. (27.27%) and Panamerican Energy LLC (18.18%) have 
signed an agreement to split the Block in two. This agreement has 
enabled TOTAL to remain the operator of the Aguada Pichana Este 
Block, with 27.27% of the conventional part (Mulichinco), and 41% 
of the Unconventional part (Vaca Muerta), and to adjust its interest in 
the Aguada Pichana Oeste, which is now non- operated, to 25%. 

A second development phase was launched on the Aguada Pichana 
Este – Vaca Muerta Block in July 2018. It should allow the production 
plateau  to  reach  500  Mcf/d,  which  corresponds  to  the  capacity  of 
the existing plant. 

On the Aguada Pichana Oeste Block, TOTAL (25%) is taking part in 
the pilot, which came into production in 2017. 

The  wells  of  the  first  pilot  on  San  Roque  have  been  in  production 
since July 2018 and the drilling of a second series of wells started in 
July 2018. 

The initial results of the pilot development on the Rincón la Ceniza 
Block  are  encouraging  at  this  stage.  The  delineation  well  drilled  in 
2016 on the La Escalonada Block in order to test the oil portion of 
the formation has also demonstrated good productivity. 

In  Bolivia,  the  Group’s  production,  mainly  gas,  was  42  kboe/d  in 
2018  compared  to  46  kboe/d  in  2017  and  34  kboe/d  in  2016. 
TOTAL  is  present  on  six  licenses.  Five  of  them  have  fields  in 
production: San Alberto (15%), San Antonio (15%), Block XX Tarija 
Oeste  (41%),  and  Aquio  and  Ipati  (50%,  operator),  where  the 
Incahuasi gas field started production in August 2016.

2  BUSINESS OVERVIEW FOR FISCAL YEAR 2018 

Exploration & Production segment 

On  the  Aquio  and  Ipati  Blocks  of  the  Incahuasi  field,  the  decision 
was taken to connect the ICS- 3 well in 2017, and the increase of the 
plant’s capacity to 390 Mcf/d was approved in June 2018. 

An exploration well is expected to be drilled on the Azero exploration 
license (50%) in 2019. 

In  Venezuela,  the  Group’s  production  was  34  kboe/d  in  2018 
compared to 44 kboe/d in 2017 and 47 kboe/d in 2016. It comes 
from the Group’s interests in PetroCedeño (30.32%) and Yucal Placer 
(69.5%). The development of the extra heavy oil field of PetroCedeño 
continues  (26  wells  were  drilled  in  2018,  compared  to  49  in  2017 
and 39 in 2016), as well as the debottlenecking project for the water 
separation  and  treatment  facilities.  For  information  on  international 
economic  sanctions  concerning  Venezuela,  refer  to  point  3.1.9  of 
chapter 3. 

In Brazil, the Group’s production totaled 19 kboe/d in 2018, which 
was  the  Group’s  first  full  year  of  production  in  the  country. 
The production comes from the Libra (20%) field, where the part in 
production was renamed Mero in 2017, and the Lapa (35%, operator) 
and Iara (22.5%) fields. The Mero field is located in the Santos Basin 
in very deep waters (2,000 m), approximately 170 km off the coast of 
Rio de Janeiro. At year- end 2018, 15 wells had been drilled and the 
production started in 2017 with the FPSO Pioneiro de Libra (50 kb/d 
capacity)  designed  to  carry  out  the  long- term  production  tests 
necessary  for  optimizing  future  development  phases.  The  first 
development phase (17 wells connected to an FPSO with a capacity 
of 150 kb/d) also started in 2017. 

In 2017, TOTAL and Petrobras signed definitive contracts in relation 
to  a  package  of  assets  in  Brazil  contemplated  by  their  strategic 
alliance agreed in 2016. As part of this strategic alliance, in January 
2018,  TOTAL  acquired  a  22.5%  interest  in  the  concession  Iara, 
located in Block BM- S- 11A, which is currently under development, 
as  well  as  a  35%  interest  and  the  operatorship  in  the  Lapa  field 
concession  area,  located  in  Block  BM- S- 9A,  which  started  up  in 
2016. TOTAL holds a 35% interest in Lapa field. TOTAL is expected 
to increase to 45% following the finalization of the acquisition of an 
additional interest of 10%, which is subject to approval by the relevant 
Brazilian  authorities.  The  agreements  provide  for  the  strengthening 
of  technical  cooperation  between  the  two  companies,  in  particular 
by  the  joint  assessment  of  the  exploration  potential  of  promising 
areas  in  Brazil  and  by  the  development  of  new  technologies,  in 
particular  in  deep  offshore.  On  Iara,  the  declaration  of  the 
commerciality  of  two  developments  has  been  made,  one  for  the 
development  of  the  two  Berbigao  and  Sururu- West  fields,  and  the 
other for the development of the Atapu field. On the Sururu field, a 
six- month production test has been completed and the drilling of an 
appraisal well has revealed the highest oil column in the pre- salt in 
Brazil (530 m). 

The  acquisition  of  Mærsk  Oil  in  March  2018  allowed  for  the 
incorporation  of  new  assets  in  TOTAL’s  portfolio  in  Brazil:  Wahoo 
(28.6%)  and  Itaipu  (40%)  respectively  on  the  BMC- 30  and 
BMC- 32 Blocks in the Campos Basin. 

In  addition,  the  Group  holds  17  exploration  licenses  located  in  the 
Barreirinhas, Ceará, Espirito Santo, Foz do Amazonas and Pelotas 
basins. 

In Colombia, TOTAL started production on the Niscota field (71.4%) 
in  2017.  The  commerciality  of  the  development  of  the  field  was 
declared  In  November  2018.  The  Group’s  production  totaled 
1 kboe/d in 2018. 

In  Mexico,  TOTAL  was  awarded  exploration  licenses  in  2016  on 
three  blocks  in  offshore  Mexico,  following  the  country’s  first 
competitive  deep  water  bid  round.  Located  in  the  Perdido  Basin, 
Block 2 (50%, operator) covers an area of 2,977 km² at depths of 
between 2,300 and 3,600 meters. TOTAL also holds stakes in Blocks 
1 (33.33%) and 3 (33.33%), located in the Salina Basin, and in Block 
15 (60%, operator). In March 2018, TOTAL obtained three exploration 
blocks in the shallow waters of the Campeche Basin: Block 32 (50%), 
Block 33 (50%, operator) and Block 34 (42.5%). 

In Guyana, TOTAL finalized in 2018 the acquisition of a 35% stake in 
the Canje Block, 25% of the Kanuku Block and 25% of the Orinduik 
Block, as part of the exploration of the prolific offshore Guyana Basin. 
The acquisition of these interests has been approved by the authorities. 

Rest of the Americas zone 

At  the  end  of  2018,  TOTAL  disposed  of  its  interests  in  the  Aruba 
exploration license. The Group holds an interest in the Guyane Maritime 
license  in  French  Guiana  (100%,  operator),  on  which  plug  and 
abandonmet operations of the negative exploration well GMES-6 are 
in progress. 

2.1.9.5  Asia- Pacific 

In  2018,  TOTAL’s  production  in  the  zone  of  Asia- Pacific  was 
141 kboe/d, representing 5% of the Group’s overall production, 
compared to 244 kboe/d in 2017 and 265 kboe/d in 2016. The 
two main producing countries in this zone in 2018 were Thailand 
and Australia. 

In  Thailand,  the  Group’s  production  was  52  kboe/d  in  2018 
compared  to  58  kboe/d  in  2017  and  60  kboe/d  in  2016. 
This  production  comes  from  the  Bongkot  offshore  gas  and 
condensate  field  (33.33%).  The  Thai  state- owned  company  PTT 
purchases  all  of  the  natural  gas  and  condensate  production.  New 
platforms were installed in 2018 to maintain the production plateau. 

In  Australia,  the  Group’s  production  was  34  kboe/d  in  2018 
compared to 19 kboe/d in 2017 and 16 kboe/d in 2016. It comes 
from Gladstone LNG (GLNG) (27.5%) and Ichthys LNG, project for 
which  the  start  of  the  offshore  production  began  in  July  2018  and 
the first export of LNG occured in October 2018. The Ichthys LNG 
project  involves  the  development  of  a  gas  and  condensate  field 
located in the Browse Basin. This development includes a platform 
for  the  production,  processing  and  export  of  gas,  an  FPSO  for 
processing and exporting the condensate, an 889 km gas pipeline 
and  an  onshore  liquefaction  plant  in  Darwin.  When  running  at  full 
capacity,  the  two  trains  of  the  gas  liquefaction  plant  will  supply 
8.9  Mt/y  of  LNG,  100,000  barrels  of  condensates  per  day  and 
1.65  Mt/y  of  LPG.  The  LNG  has  already  been  sold,  mainly  on  the 
Asian  market,  under  long- term  contracts.  TOTAL  disposed  in 
December  2018  of  a  4%  interest  in  the  Ichthys  LNG  project  in 
Australia,  thus  reducing  TOTAL’s  interest  in  the  asset  from  30%  to 
26%. 

GLNG  is  an  integrated  production,  transportation  and  liquefaction 
project  from  the  Fairview,  Roma,  Scotia  and  Arcadia  fields  with  a 
capacity of 7.8 Mt/y located on Curtis Island, Queensland. The plant’s 
two trains are in production. 

In Brunei, the Group’s production was 19 kboe/d in 2018 compared 
to  21  kboe/d  in  2017  and  18  kboe/d  in  2016.  It  comes  from  the 
Maharaja Lela Jamalulalam condensate gas field on Block B (37.5%, 
operator) and from the unitized Gumusut- Kakap field, of which the 
part in Brunei is located on Block CA1 (86.9%, operator). The signing 
of  the  unitization  agreements  in  July  2018  gives  TOTAL  access  to 
4.64%  of  the  Gumusut- Kakap  field,  which  started  in  2012  and 
produced 155 kboe/d of oil in 2018. The gas from the Maharaja Lela 
Jamalulalam field is delivered to the Brunei LNG liquefaction plant. 

On the CA1 deep offshore exploration Block (86.9%, operator), the 
exploration license was extended for two years in October 2018. 

In  Myanmar,  the  Group’s  production  was  17  kboe/d  in  2018 
compared to 19 kboe/d in 2017 and 21 kboe/d in 2016. 

The Yadana field (31.24%, operator), located on the offshore Blocks 
M5 and M6, primarily produces gas for delivery to PTT for use in Thai 
power  plants.  The  Yadana  field  also  supplies  the  domestic  market 
via  an  offshore  pipeline  built  and  operated  by  MOGE,  a  Myanmar 
state- owned  company.  In  2017,  TOTAL  started  production  on  the 
Badamyar field, a satellite of the Yadana field. This project is expected 
to make it possible to extend production on this gas field, which is 
8 Bcf/y, beyond 2020.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW FOR FISCAL YEAR 2018 

Exploration & Production segment  2 

In 2015, the Group entered exploration license A6 (40%) located in 
the deep offshore area west of Myanmar, where a gas discovery has 
been  made.  A  delineation  well  drilled  in  2018  has  produced 
encouraging results. These discoveries are currently being assessed. 

In 2015, TOTAL signed a production sharing contract on the deep 
offshore YWB Block (100%, operator). The 2016 2D seismic survey 
was followed by a 3D seismic survey in 2018. 

In China, the Group’s production was 16 kboe/d in 2018 compared 
to 15 kboe/d in 2017 and 10 kboe/d in 2016. This production comes 
from  the  South  Sulige  Block  (49%)  in  the  Ordos  Basin  of  Inner 
Mongolia, where the drilling of tight gas development wells is ongoing. 

In 2017, TOTAL signed a production sharing contract on the Taiyang 
exploration  Block  (49%,  operator),  located  in  both  Chinese  and 
Taiwanese waters in the China Sea. A 2D seismic survey was carried 
out in 2018. 

In  Indonesia,  Group  production  was  3  kboe/d  in  2018,  compared 
with 112 kboe/d in 2017 and 140 kboe/d in 2016, given the expiry of 
the Mahakam license and the transfer of the corresponding activities 
to Pertamina (operator) on January 1, 2018. The Group still holds an 
interest in the Sebuku license (15%), production from the Ruby gas 
field is routed by pipeline for processing and separation at the Senipah 
terminal. 

In  Papua  New  Guinea,  the  Group  owns  a  stake  in  Block  PRL- 15 
(40.1%, operator since 2015). The State of Papua New Guinea retains 
the  right  to  take  a  stake  in  the  license  (when  the  final  investment 

decision  is  made)  at  a  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.  The  delineation  program  of  these 
discoveries was completed in 2017 and the results of the wells drilled 
confirmed  the  resource  levels  of  the  fields.  Development  studies 
continued in 2018. 

TOTAL  holds  interests  in  the  PPL339  (35%),  PPL589  (100%)  and 
PPL576  (100%)  exploration  licenses.  The  interpretation  of  the 
multi- client  seismic  survey  performed  in  late  2016  on  PPL576 
revealed some promising prospects. 

TOTAL and its partners signed on November 2018 a Memorandum 
of Understanding with the Independent State of Papua New Guinea 
defining  the  key  terms  of  the  Gas  Agreement  for  the  Papua  LNG 
Project. The proposed Gas agreement is expected to be finalized in 
the first half of 2019. 

Rest of the Asia- Pacific zone 

TOTAL  also  holds  interests  in  exploration  licenses  in  Malaysia  and 
the  Philippines.  In  Cambodia,  TOTAL  is  working  to  implement  an 
agreement entered into in 2009 with the Cambodian government for 
the exploration of Block 3 located in an area of the Gulf of Thailand 
disputed  by  the  governments  of  Cambodia  and  Thailand.  This 
agreement remains subject to the establishment by both countries of 
an appropriate contractual framework. In Sri Lanka, in 2016 TOTAL 
signed an agreement to proceed with surveys on the offshore JS- 5 
and JS- 6 Blocks off the east coast.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW FOR FISCAL YEAR 2018 

Gas, Renewables & Power segment  2 

2.2  Gas, Renewables & Power segment 

The Gas, Renewables & Power segment carries the Group’s ambition in low carbon activities through the development of downstream gas 
and low carbon electricity as well as the energy efficiency businesses. 

The segment employs an integrated business model along the full gas and power value chain. The LNG business is growing in particular 
following the acquisition of the LNG business of Engie in 2018. The number of customers grows as well strongly, notably in B2C, following the 
acquisition of Direct Énergie in 2018 and Lampiris in 2016.

(a)  Adjusted results are defined as income using replacement cost, adjusted for special items, excluding the impact of changes for fair value. 
(b) DACF = debt adjusted cash flow. The operating cash flow before working capital changes w/o financial charges is defined as cash flow from operating activities before changes in

working capital at replacement cost, without financial charges. 

(c) Excluding financial charges. 

Adjusted  net  operating  income  for  the  Gas,  Renewables  &  Power 
segment  was  $756  million  in  2018,  notably  thanks  to  the  good 
performance of LNG and gas/power trading activities. The increase 
in working capital related to the consolidation of the acquisitions of 
Direct Énergie and the LNG business of Engie was mainly responsible 
for the negative cash flow from operations in 2018. 

TOTAL integrates the climate change in its strategy and anticipates 
the new trends on the energy market. Thus, the Group strengthens 
its development in the natural gas value chain and intends to develop 
profitable activities in low- carbon electricity. 

The activities of TOTAL in the gas business contribute to the growth 
of  the  Group  by  ensuring  market  outlets  for  its  current  and  future 
natural gas production. In addition to its activities in liquefied natural 
gas (LNG) (refer to point 2.1.8 in this chapter), TOTAL is also present 
in the trading of natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). 

TOTAL  is  present  along  the  entire  electricity  value  chain,  from  the 
production of low  carbon electricity to marketing activities. TOTAL’s 
activities in electricity production rely on its subsidiaries Direct Énergie, 
Quadran,  Total  Solar  and  its  shareholdings  in  SunPower  and  Total 
Eren.  TOTAL  is  also  involved  in  electricity  storage  (Saft  Groupe), 

as  well  as  in  services  to  reduce  the  energy  consumption  of  its 
customers and the environmental footprint, in particular through its 
Greenflex subsidiary or through projects to capture, store or use CO2. 

As part of its strategy aiming to develop low carbon activities, several 
major acquisitions were made in 2018. In July 2018, the finalization 
of  the  acquisition  of  Engie’s  LNG  business  enabled  TOTAL  to 
consolidate  its  position  as  a  leading  actor  in  LNG.  This  acquisition 
strengthens TOTAL’s positions in the production of LNG, increases 
the  number  of  long- term  purchase  and  sales  agreements,  and  its 
regasification capacities, in particular in Europe, and adds a fleet of 
LNG tankers, thereby offering more flexibility to its portfolio. 

TOTAL  also  signed  an  agreement  with  KKR- Energas  for  the 
acquisition of two combined- cycle natural gas power plants in France. 
In September 2018, TOTAL finalized the acquisition of Direct Énergie 
(France’s top alternative energy supplier (4)) and its subsidiary Quadran 
(developer and owner of renewables assets), thereby speeding up its 
strategy to integrate the gas- electricity chain in Europe. In December 
2018, TOTAL and EPH also signed an agreement allowing TOTAL, 
subject to authorisation by the competent authorities, to acquire in 
2020 two gas power turbines in France.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW FOR FISCAL YEAR 2018 

Gas, Renewables & Power segment 

2.2.1  LNG 

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

2.2.1.1  LNG production 

Through its interests in liquefaction plants in Angola, Australia, Egypt, 
the United Arab Emirates, Nigeria, Norway, Oman, Qatar, Russia and 
Yemen (2), the Group sells LNG across markets worldwide. In 2018, 
the share of LNG production was 11.1 Mt, compared to 11.2 Mt in 
2017 and 11 Mt in 2016. In 2018, the Ichthys (Australia) and Yamal 
LNG  (Russia)  plants  started  producing  LNG.  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 the United States and Russia), or by projects currently under study 
(Papua New Guinea, Nigeria, Russia, Oman, Mexico and the United 
States (3)). 

Thereby,  in  March  2019,  Total  has  signed  the  definitive  agreement 
with  PAO  Novatek (4)  for  the  acquisition  of  a  direct  10%  interest  in 
Arctic LNG 2. Furthermore, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) 
signed  with  the  government  of  Oman  is  expected  to  enable  the 
Group to develop a regional hub for the delivery of an LNG bunker 
service to ships, using the natural gas resources from Block 6. Finally, 
TOTAL has signed an MOU with Sempra Energy for the development 
of  projects  for  the  export  of  North  American  LNG,  including  the 
expansion of Cameron LNG in Louisiana and the Energia Costa Azul 
project in Baja California, Mexico. 

2.2.1.2  Long- term Group LNG sales and purchases 

TOTAL  acquires  long-term  LNG  volumes  mainly  from  liquefaction 
projects in which the Group holds an interest (Egyptian LNG in Egypt, 
Ichthys  in  Australia,  Qatargas  2  in  Qatar,  Nigeria  LNG  in  Nigeria, 
Snøhvit in Norway, Yamal LNG in Russia and Yemen LNG in Yemen). 
Furthermore,  TOTAL  also  acquired  long-term  LNG  volumes  from 
American projects in which the Group has no equity (Sabine Pass, 
Corpus Christi, Cove Point). 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 Asian markets, benefitting from a better price 
environment. 

New  LNG  sources  arising  from,  among  others,  the  acquisition  of 
Engie’s LNG assets in the United States (Cameron LNG) are expected 
to  ensure  the  growth  of  the  Group’s  LNG  portfolio.  The  Group  is 
developing  new  LNG  markets  by  launching  projects  of  Floating 
Storage and Regasification Units (FSRU) for the import of LNG, for 
example in Myanmar or Côte d’Ivoire, in addition to the two FSRUs 
already in operation following the acquisition of Engie’s LNG activities. 

TOTAL  holds  several  significant  contracts  for  the  long- term  sale  of 
LNG  in  Chile,  China,  South  Korea,  Spain,  the  United  States, 
Indonesia, Japan, Panama, the Dominican Republic, Singapore and 
Taiwan. 

2.2.1.3  LNG shipping 

As part of its LNG shipping activities, TOTAL uses a fleet of 15 LNG 
vessels,  12  of  which  come  from  the  acquisition  of  Engie’s  LNG 
portfolio. In addition to the fleet, TOTAL may also charter extra vessels 
on a spot and short- term basis to meet trading needs. 

2.2.1.4  LNG trading 

The Group’s activities are developing in LNG trading through major 
sale  and  purchase  contracts  and  are  reinforced  by  the  acquisition 
of  Engie’s  portfolio  of  LNG  activities.  In  2018,  these  LNG  trading 
activities represented a volume of 17.1 Mt compared with 7.6 Mt in 
2017 and 5.1 Mt in 2016. 

The portfolio focuses, in particular, on Asian markets (China, South 
Korea, India, Indonesia, Japan and Taiwan) and is made up of spot 
and long- term contracts that enable TOTAL to supply gas to its main 
customers  worldwide,  while  keeping  sufficient  flexibility  to  seize 
market opportunities. 

In 2018, the trading teams were located in London, Paris, Houston 
and Singapore. 

In  2018,  TOTAL  bought  173  shipments  under  long- term  contracts 
from  Algeria,  Australia,  Egypt,  the  United  States,  Nigeria,  Norway, 
Qatar and Russia and 97 spot or medium- term shipments, compared 
with 59 and 49 in 2017, and 51 and 19 in 2016 respectively. Deliveries 
from Yemen LNG have been halted since 2015. 

2.2.1.5  LNG regasification 

TOTAL has entered agreements that provide a long- term access to 
LNG  regasification  capacity  worldwide,  through  existing  assets  or 
projects  under  development  in  Europe  (Belgium,  France  and  the 
United  Kingdom),  the  Americas  (the  United  States,  Panama  and 
Mexico), Asia (India and Myanmar) and Africa (Côte d’Ivoire). TOTAL 
also charters two FSRUs. 

In 2018, TOTAL has an LNG regasification capacity in the range of 
27 Bcm/y, of which 20 Bcm/y comes from the acquisition of Engie’s 
LNG activities. 

In  France,  TOTAL  holds  a  27.5%  interest  in  Fosmax  LNG. 
The terminal received 65 vessels in 2018, compared with 55 in 2017 
and 54 in 2016. 

In October 2018, TOTAL sold its 9.99% stake in the Dunkerque LNG 
terminal, with a capacity of 13 Bcm/y. 

In the United Kingdom, through its equity interest in the Qatargas 
2  project,  TOTAL  holds  an  8.35%  stake  in  the  South  Hook  LNG 
regasification terminal, with a total capacity of 21 Bcm/y. 

In the United States, in 2004, TOTAL has reserved a regasification 
capacity  of  approximately  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 TOTAL’s 
reserved regasification capacity to gradually be transferred by TOTAL 
to SPL in return for a payment. 

In India, TOTAL disposed of its 26% stake in the Hazira terminal in 
January 2019. The terminal received 67 vessels in 2018, compared 
with  44  in  2017  and  61  in  2016.  Furthermore,  in  October  2018, 
TOTAL  and  Adani  Group  signed  an  agreement  to  develop  several 
LNG  regasification  terminals,  including  Dhamra  LNG  on  the  east 
coast  of  India,  and  to  develop  the  marketing  of  LNG  in  India. 
Thus,  TOTAL  relies  on  a  recognized  local  partner  to  break  into  the 
Indian market. 

In Myanmar, a consortium led by TOTAL has been tasked with the 
responsibility of developing an integrated project, including an FSRU 
LNG  regasification  terminal  at  Kanbauk,  a  1,230  MW  production 
plant and the supply of electricity as far as Yangon, which is expected 
to start up in 2023.

In  Côte  d’Ivoire,  a  consortium  led  by  TOTAL  (34%,  operator)  has 
been  assigned  responsibility  for  developing  and  operating  an 

FSRU- type LNG regasification terminal in Abidjan, which is expected 
to start up in 2021. 

2.2.2  Trading and transport (excluding LNG) 

2.2.2.1  Trading excluding LNG 

Following the sale in 2015 of its subsidiary Total Coal South Africa, 
the Group ceased its coal production activities. Moreover, in 2016, 
the Group stopped its coal sales and trading activities. 

A) LPG

In 2018, TOTAL traded and sold nearly 5.2 Mt of LPG (propane and 
butane) worldwide, compared to 4.9 Mt in 2017 and 5.3 Mt in 2016. 
Nearly 30% of these quantities came from fields or refineries operated 
by the Group. This trading activity was conducted by means of seven 
long- term chartered vessels. In 2018, 255 journeys were necessary 
for  transporting  the  negotiated  quantities,  including  156  journeys 
carried out by TOTAL’s long- term chartered vessels and 99 journeys 
by spot- chartered vessels. 

B) Petcoke and sulfur

TOTAL  sells  petcoke  coming  from  the  Port  Arthur  refinery  in  the 
United States and the Jubail refinery in Saudi Arabia. Petcoke is sold 
to  cement  producers  and  electricity  producers  mainly  in  India,  as 
well as in Mexico, Brazil, other Latin American countries and Turkey. 
2.2  Mt  of  petcoke  were  sold  on  the  international  market  in  2018, 
compared to 2.1 Mt in 2017 and 1.9 Mt in 2016. 

2.2.3  Low  carbon electricity production 

In the second half of 2018, TOTAL accelerated its strategy to integrate 
the  gas- electricity  chain  in  Europe  and  to  develop  low- carbon 
electricity by acquiring Direct Énergie and two combined- cycle natural 
gas  power  plants  in  France  from  KKR- Energas.  Consequently, 
TOTAL has the capacity to produce 2.7 GW of low- carbon electricity 
from gas and renewables (in Group share) worldwide. 

2.2.3.1  Electricity production from natural gas 

The construction of a portfolio of combined- cycle gas power plants 
in Europe is part of the strategy to integrate the gas and electricity 
value chain, from production to marketing, and compliments well the 
renewable  electricity.

Furthermore,  the  flexible  production  of  these  power  plants  enables 
the Group to optimize its customers’ electricity supply costs. 

intermittent 

In France and Belgium, TOTAL owns four combined- cycle natural 
gas  (CCGT)  power  plants.  The  global  installed  capacity  is  1.6  GW. 
TOTAL holds a 60% stake in project to build a fifth 0.4 GW CCGT 
power  plant  in  Landivisiau,  France.  The  agreement  signed  in 
December 2018 with EPH will bring to TOTAL portfolio two additional 
gas power turbines (0.8 GW) from 2020, subject to authorisation by 
the competent authorities. 

In Abu Dhabi, the Taweelah A1 gas power plant, which is owned by 
the  Gulf  Total  Tractebel  Power  Company  (TOTAL,  20%),  combines 
electricity  generation  and  water  desalination.  The  plant  has  a  net 
power  generation  capacity  of  1.6  GW  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.

TOTAL also sells sulfur, mainly from the production of its refineries. 
In 2018, 1.4 Mt was sold, compared with 0.9 Mt in 2017 and 0.7 Mt 
in 2016. 

C) Natural gas and electricity

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

In Europe, TOTAL sold 46.4 Bcm of natural gas in 2018, compared 
with  33.3  Bcm  in  2017  and  32.9  Bcm  in  2016 (1).  The  Group  also 
traded  65.4  TWh  of  electricity  in  2018,  compared  to  70.2  TWh  in 
2017 and 49.1 TWh in 2016, mainly from external sources. 

In  North  America,  TOTAL  sold  13.7  Bcm  of  natural  gas  in  2018 
from  its  own  production  or  from  external  resources,  compared  to 
12.1 Bcm in 2017 and 10.1 Bcm in 2016. 

2.2.2.2  Transport of natural gas 

The  Group  holds  interests  in  gas  pipelines  (refer  to  point  2.1.14  of 
this chapter) located in Brazil and Argentina. 

In Brazil, TOTAL and Petrobras pursue the study of new business 
opportunities in the natural gas. 

2.2.3.2  Electricity production from renewables 

As part of its development in low- carbon electricity, TOTAL relies on 
its  Quadran  and  Total  Solar  subsidiaries  and  its  shareholdings  in 
SunPower and Total Eren. 

A) SunPower

TOTAL has held, since 2011, a majority interest in SunPower (55.66% 
as of December 31, 2018), an American company listed on NASDAQ 
and based in California. 

Since 2017, SunPower has focused its activities on two segments: 
on  the  one  hand,  the  design,  production  and  international  sale  of 
very high- efficiency solar cells and panels, and, on the other hand, 
the sale of photovoltaic systems, that increasingly include storage, in 
the  United  States.  SunPower  had  a  capacity 
to  produce 
Inter-digitated  Back  Contact  (IBC)  cells  of  almost  1.2  GW/y  at  the 
end of 2018. The cells are then assembled into solar panels in plants 
located  mainly  in  France  and  Mexico.  To  enlarge  its  commercial 
offering, SunPower has marketed, since 2016, a new range of panels 
to  target  the  most  competitive  market  sectors  while  continuing  to 
hold a technological edge over its competitors. SunPower is finalizing 
the  development  of  its  future  highly  efficient  technology,  which 
significantly  reduces  costs,  and  has 
industrial 
deployment.

Gas, Renewables & Power segment 

In 2018, the worldwide photovoltaic market remained dynamic, with 
estimated  growth  of  14%  (compared  with  30%  in  2017)  of  newly 
installed capacities (1). SunPower installed more than 1.5 GW in 2018, 
compared to 1.4 GW in 2017 and 1.3 GW in 2016. 

In the American market, SunPower is one of the leading players on 
the residential, industrial and commercial markets, and is driving the 
development of smart energy offerings (a combination of photovoltaic 
solar power, storage and other services). 

As part of its recentering strategy, SunPower sold, in June 2018, its 
stake in 8point3 Energy Partners to an investment fund in the energy 
sector. In 2018, SunPower also sold its inverters activity and its last 
solar  farm  projects  that  were  under  development,  mainly  in  the 
Americas. 

In  October  2018,  SunPower  acquired  certain  assets  of  SolarWorld 
Americas,  in  particular  the  Hillsboro  plant  in  Oregon,  thereby 
strengthening  its  position  in  the  production  of  solar  panels  in  the 
United  States.  In  September  2018,  the  American  government 
exempted the IBC technology of the customs tariffs imposed by the 
American authorities on imports of cells and panels in January 2018. 

B) Quadran

In  2018,  TOTAL  maintained  its  policy  of  investing  in  low- carbon 
businesses  with  the  acquisition  of  Direct  Énergie,  which  owns 
Quadran.  This  company  enables  the  Group  to  speed  up  its 
development in solar and wind power, biogas and in hydroelectricity 
in France. 

This  acquisition  adds  0.7  GW  gross  installed  capacity  (in  100%). 
At  the  end  of  2018,  Quadran  operates  a  portfolio  of  213  onshore 

wind, solar, hydroelectric and biogas assets in France, and develops 
a series of renewable electricity projects that have reached different 
stages of maturity. 

C) Total Eren

In  December  2017,  TOTAL  acquired  a  23%  interest  in  Eren 
Renewable  Energy,  which  has  since  been  renamed  Total  Eren. 
TOTAL will be able to take control of Total Eren after a period of five 
years.  Through  its  partnerships  with  local  developers,  Total  Eren 
today manages numerous energy projects in countries and regions 
where renewable energies represent an economically viable response 
to  a  growing  demand  for  energy,  such  as  Asia- Pacific,  Africa  and 
Latin America. 

Total  Eren  has  a  diversified  set  of  assets  in  renewable  energies 
(wind, solar and hydraulic), representing a gross installed capacity of 
about 1.3 GW (in 100%) in operation or under construction around 
the world. 

D) Total Solar

Total Solar, which is 100% owned by the Group, contributes to the 
development of activities in solar power, with a focus on two market 
segments: 

—  decentralized  photovoltaic  systems  aimed  at  industrial  or 
commercial customers (B2B) entering into private PPAs (power 
purchase agreements); and 

—  ground- mounted  solar  power  plants  in  targeted  geographical 

areas: Europe, the Middle East, Japan and South Africa. 

2.2.4  Natural gas and electricity marketing 

With a customer portfolio in excess of 5 million sites delivered and 
133 TWh, TOTAL is now targeting 15% market share in France and 
Belgium within 5 years in the residential segment. 

subsidiary Total Gas & Power Nederland B.V. The volumes delivered

In France, TOTAL operates in the natural gas and electricity markets 
for  industrial  and  commercial  customers  through  its  Total  Énergie 
Gaz and, Direct Énergie since 2018, marketing subsidiaries, whose 
global gas sales totaled 1.8 Bcm in 2018, compared with 1.9 Bcm in 
2017 and 2.2 Bcm in 2016. TOTAL also operates on the domestic 
market  through  its  subsidiary  Total  Spring  (previously  known  as 
Lampiris France) and Direct Énergie. The sales of Total Spring and 
Direct Énergie in the residential segment (electricity and gas) totaled 
17.9 TWh in 2018, compared with 3.8 TWh in 2017. 

In  the  United  Kingdom,  TOTAL  sells  natural  gas  and  electricity  in 
the  industrial  and  commercial  segment  through  its  subsidiary  Total 
Gas & Power Ltd. In 2018, the volume of gas sales totaled 4.2 Bcm, 
compared  with  4.3  Bcm  in  2017  and  4.0  Bcm  in  2016.  Electricity 
sales were nearly 10.1 TWh in 2018, compared to 9.1 TWh in 2017 
and 7.4 TWh in 2016. 

In  Germany,  Total  Energie  Gas  GmbH,  a  marketing  subsidiary  of 
TOTAL,  marketed  1.2  Bcm  of  gas  in  2018  to  industrial  and 
commercial customers, compared to 1.2 Bcm in 2017 and 0.9 Bcm 
in  2016.  Electricity  sales  were  0.5  TWh  in  2018,  compared  with 
0.3 TWh in 2017. 

In the Netherlands, TOTAL operates in the natural gas and electricity 
markets  for  industrial  and  commercial  customers  through  its 

In Belgium, TOTAL operates on the natural gas and electricity supply 
markets  through  its  subsidiaries  Lampiris  and  Direct  Énergie. 
The Lampiris and Poweo by Direct Énergie brands are present in the 
residential  segment,  while  Total  Gas  &  Power  Belgium  operates  in 
the  industrial  and  commercial  segments.  In  2018,  the  volumes  of 
gas delivered amounted to almost 0.8 Bcm, compared with 0.7 Bcm 
in  2017,  while  electricity  sales  totaled  almost  3.7  TWh,  compared 
with 3.7 TWh in 2017. 

In Spain, TOTAL Gas y Electricidad España markets electricity to the 
industrial  and  commercial  segments  since  January  2018.  In  2018, 
the volume of electricity sales reached 0.1 TWh. The Group sold its 
35% stake in Cepsa Gas Comercializadora in 2017. 

In  Argentina,  the  subsidiary  Total  Gas  Marketing  Cono  Sur  is  in 
charge of marketing the gas produced by Total Austral, the Group’s 
production  subsidiary,  as  well  as  marketing  the  gas  produced  by 
third  parties.  In  2018,  the  volume  of  gas  sales  reached  4.3  Bcm, 
compared to 4.2 Bcm in 2017 and 4.0 Bcm in 2016. 

The  Group  holds  stakes  in  the  marketing  companies  that  are 
associated with the LNG regasification terminals located at Altamira 
in Mexico and Hazira in India. In early 2019, TOTAL closed the sale 
of its stake in the regasification company in India that also owned the 
marketing activity. 

2.2.5  Energy storage 

Energy storage is a major challenge for the future of power grids and 
a vital accompaniment to renewable energies, which are intermittent 
by nature. Large- scale electricity storage is essential to promote the 
growth  of  renewables  and  enable  them  to  make  up  a  significant 
share of the electricity mix. 

The acquisition of 100% of the shares of Saft Groupe S.A. (“Saft”), 
completed in August 2016 following a successful voluntary takeover 
bid,  fully  aligned  with  TOTAL’s  goal  to  develop  in  low- carbon 
businesses.

Innovation and energy efciency 

2.2.6.1  Energy efciency services 

The energy efficiency services market is experiencing strong growth, 
which is expected to accelerate in the coming years. In this context, 
the  Group  is  investing  in  this  market,  with  the  aim  of  helping 
customers  optimize  their  consumption  and  emissions,  in  particular 
by choosing between the best energy sources. 

In 2017, the Group finalized the acquisition of GreenFlex, a French 
company  founded  in  2009  with  over  700  customers.  GreenFlex 
employs around 400 people and recorded sales of €410 million at 
year- end 2018, compared to €359 million at year- end 2017. 

This acquisition is fully aligned with the Group’s strategy for growth 
in  the  energy  performance  sector,  in  priority  in  major  European 
countries. 

2.2.6.2  Total Energy Ventures 

Total Energy Ventures (TEV) invests in the initial development phases 
of companies that offer technologies or economic models of strategic 
interest to TOTAL. These areas of interest include renewable energies, 
digital  energy,  energy  storage  and  mobility  services.  Whereas 
historically  TEV  invested  predominantly  in  Europe  and  the  United 
States, the company started investing in 2018 in China. In particular, 
TEV signed an agreement with NIO Capital to cooperate and invest 
in the mobility segment. 

TEV  also  launched  its  investment  platform  dedicated  to  emerging 
markets, and in particular to companies developing business models 
for access to energy for people who are not connected to the grid. 
Initially, this activity will be focused on Africa. 

2.2.6.3  Carbon capture, use and storage 

In  order  to  promote  a  new  industry  in  the  field  of  carbon  capture, 
utilization and storage (CCUS), the Group is examining the possibility 
of  developing  new  businesses  to  enable  its  industrial,  domestic  or 
electricity producing customers to capture, store, utilize or neutralize 
their CO2  emissions. 

TOTAL  considers  CCUS  to  be  one  of  the  key  drivers  to  tackle  the 
challenge of the climate change and is particularly interested in the 
development of new business and industrial models associated with 
this value chain. 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW FOR FISCAL YEAR 2018 

Gas, Renewables & Power segment  2 

As  part  of  a  European  alliance,  Saft  and  its  partners  launched,  in 
2018, an R&D program that aims to develop the future generations 
of  lithium- ion  batteries  (Gen  3A  and  Gen  3B),  and  then  the  solid 
electrolyte  lithium  battery  technology.  As  of  year- end  2018,  Saft  is 
present  in  18  countries  worldwide  (historically  in  Europe  and  the 
United  States)  and  has  over  4,300  employees.  Saft  is  achieving 
growth  in  emerging  countries,  in  particular  in  Asia,  South  America 
and Russia, and has 14 production sites and approximately 30 sales 
offices. In 2018, Saft’s turnover amounted to $788 million.

In this area, the Group intends to participate directly or indirectly (via 
the OGCI fund in particular) in large- scale pilot projects. TOTAL thus 
launched,  in  2017,  studies  with  Equinor  and  Royal  Dutch  Shell  for 
developing  the  transport  and  storage  aspects  of  the  first  industrial 
commercial project in the world for the capture, transport and storage 
of CO2, with a capacity of 1.5 Mt of CO2/y. The project aims to store 
the  emissions  from  two  industrial  sites  near  Oslo,  Norway,  and  will 
also  be  able  to  collect  emissions  from  other  emitters.  TOTAL  also 
supports  the  feasibility  studies  conducted  by  the  OGCI  fund,  with 
5 other partners, on a project located in Teesside (United Kingdom). 
This project combines gas based power generation with capture of 
the related CO2, the collection of the CO2 emissions from neighboring 
industries, its offshore storage and its possible recovery in other uses. 

2.2.6.4  Access to energy 

First launched in 2011 in four pilot countries, TOTAL’s solar solutions 
for  access  to  energy  were  distributed  in  40  countries  by  2018. 
By the end of 2018, 2.7 million lamps and solar kits had been sold, 
improving  the  day- to- day  lives  of  nearly  12  million  people. 
The distribution channels 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 set up 
and  economic  programs  developed  with  the  support  of  external 
partners to recruit and train young solar resellers. 

In  addition,  in  2018,  around  10  incubation  projects  were  launched 
with start- ups in the nano- grid, mini- grid, recycling and Wi- Fi terminals 
segments. More than 20 business partnerships were also deployed 
in the field, with organizations ranging from NGOs and development 
agencies,  to  professional  customers  (distributors,  major  TOTAL 
accounts, etc.) and international organizations.

although  margins  in  Europe  were  lower  than  last  year,  affected  by 
the higher price of raw materials. 

In this context, Refining & Chemicals adjusted net operating income 
was resilient to $3,379 million for the full- year 2018, a decrease of 
11% compared to the previous year.

2.3.1  Refining & Chemicals 

Refining & Chemicals includes refining, base petrochemicals (olefins 
and  aromatics),  polymer  derivatives  (polyethylene,  polypropylene, 
polystyrene  and  hydrocarbon  resins),  biomass  conversion  and 
elastomer  processing  (Hutchinson).  The  electroplating  chemistry 
(Atotech)  and  adhesives  (Bostik)  activities  were  sold  in  2017  and 
2015, respectively. The volume of its Refining & Chemicals activities 
places TOTAL among the top 10 integrated producers worldwide (1). 

The  strategy  of  Refining  &  Chemicals  integrates  a  constant 
requirement  for  safety,  a  core  value  of  the  Group,  and  the  priority 
given to the management of its environmental footprint. In a context 
of  rising  worldwide  demand  for  oil  and  petrochemicals  driven  by 
non- OECD countries and the entry of new capacities into the market, 
the strategy involves: 

—  improving  competitiveness  of  refining  and  petrochemicals 
activities by making optimal use of industrial means of production 
and concentrating investments on large integrated platforms; 

—  developing petrochemicals in the United States and the Middle 
East  by  exploiting  the  proximity  of  cost- effective  oil  and  gas 
resources in order to supply growing markets, in particular Asia; 
and 

—  innovating  in  low  carbon  activities  by  developing  biofuels, 
biopolymers and plastics recycling solutions as well as materials 
contributing to the energy efficiency of the Group’s customers, in 
particular in the automotive market. 

2.3.1.1  Refining and petrochemicals 

TOTAL’s refining capacity was 2,021 kb/d as of December 31, 2018, 
same as at year- end 2017 and compared to 2,011 kb/d at year- end 
2016.  The  Refining  &  Chemicals  segment  managed  a  capacity  of 
1,993 kb/d at year- end 2018, or 99% of the Group’s total capacity. 

TOTAL has equity stakes in 18 refineries (including nine operated by 
companies  of  the  Group),  located  in  Europe,  the  Middle  East,  the 
United States, Asia and Africa (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. 

Between  2011  and  2016,  the  Group  reduced  its  production 
capacities in Europe by 20%, thereby fully meeting the target it had 
set for 2017. Since then, the major investment project launched in 
2013 on the Antwerp platform in Belgium has been completed, with 
the  aim  of  improving  the  site’s  conversion  rate  and  increasing  the 
flexibility of the steam crackers. The project to transform the La Mède 
refinery into a biorefinery continues. 

A) Activities by geographical area

a) Europe

TOTAL  is  the  second  largest  refiner  and  petrochemist  in  Western 
Europe (3). 

Western Europe accounts for 71% of the Group’s refining capacity, 
i.e.,  1,437  kb/d  at  year- end  2018,  compared  with  1,454  kb/d  at
year- end 2017 and year- end 2016.

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, United Kingdom, and 
one  in  Leuna,  Germany)  and  owns  a  55%  stake  in  the  Vlissingen 
refinery (Zeeland) in the Netherlands. In the first quarter of 2018, the

Group  sold  its  stake  in  TotalErg,  which  held  a  stake  in  the  Trecate 
refinery in Italy. 

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,  polypropylene  compounds),  Feyzin  (steam  cracker, 
aromatics),  Gonfreville 
(steam  crackers,  aromatics,  styrene, 
polyolefins,  polystyrene)  and  Lavéra  (steam  cracker,  aromatics, 
the  Group’s 
polypropylene).  Europe  accounts 
petrochemicals capacity, i.e., 10,277 kt at year- end 2018, compared 
to 10,293 kt at year- end 2017 and 10,383 kt at year- end 2016. 

for  48%  of 

—  In  France,  the  Group  continues  to  improve  its  operational 
efficiency  in  a  context  of  stagnation  in  the  consumption  of 
petroleum products in Europe. 

In  2018,  TOTAL  continued  the  significant  modernization  plan 
announced in 2015 for its refining facilities in France, in particular 
at La Mède, with an investment decision made in 2015 for around 
€275 million to transform the site and in particular create the first 
biorefinery in France. The first step of this investment took place
at  the  end  of  2016  when  the  processing  of  crude  oil  ended.
The  industrial  transformation  of  La  Mède  will  contribute  to
respond to the growing demand for biofuels in Europe as from
the  first  half  of  2019.  Other  activities,  such  as  a  logistics  and
storage platform, a solar energy farm and a training center were
developed  on  the  site  since  2017,  in  addition  to  an  AdBlue (4) 
production plant, which started up in August 2018.

In  Donges,  the  €400  million  investment  project  for  the 
construction of intermediate feedstock desulfurization units and 
hydrogen production units is under study. This program requires 
the  re- routing  of  the  railroad  track  that  currently  crosses  the 
refinery.  A  three- party  memorandum  of  intent  to  fund  this 
re- routing work between the French State, local authorities and 
TOTAL was signed at the end of 2015. 

In petrochemicals, the Group reconfigured the Carling platform 
in Lorraine. Since the shutdown of the steam cracking activity in 
2015,  new  hydrocarbon  resins  and  compound  polypropylene 
production units have been in activity. 

—  In Germany, TOTAL operates the Leuna refinery (100%), where 
a new benzene extraction unit (approximately 60 kt/y) started up 
late 2017. In 2015, the Group completed the sale of its stake in 
the  Schwedt  refinery  (16.7%)  and  acquired  a  majority  stake  in 
Polyblend,  a  manufacturer  of  polyolefin  compounds  that  are 
mainly used in the automotive industry. 

—  In  Belgium,  the  Group  finalized  a  major  project  in  2017  to 

modernize its Antwerp platform, with: 
– new  conversion  units  in  response  to  the  shift  in  demand
towards  lighter  petroleum  products  with  a  very  low  sulfur
content, and

– a new unit to convert part of the combustible gases recovered
for  the

into  raw  materials 

from  the  refining  process 
petrochemical units.

In addition, the Group has developed a project to enable greater 
flexibility on one of the steam- cracking units and has thus been 
processing ethane since 2017. 

—  In the United Kingdom, TOTAL decreased the capacity of the 
Lindsey  refinery  by  half  in  2016,  reducing  it  to  5.5  Mt/y. 
The investment plan also focuses on improving the conversion 
ratio, adapting logistics and simplifying the refinery’s organization, 
thereby lowering the site’s break- even point.

b) North America

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

At  Port  Arthur,  TOTAL  holds  at  the  same  site  a  100%  interest  in  a 
178  kb/d  capacity  refinery  and  a  40%  stake  in  BASF  Total 
Petrochemicals (BTP), which has a condensate splitter and a steam 
cracker. The Group continues to work on strengthening the synergies 
between these two plants. The BTP cracker can produce more than 
1 Mt/y of ethylene, of which more than 85% on ethane, propane and 
butane, which are produced in abundance locally. 

At  La  Porte,  TOTAL  operates  a  large  polypropylene  plant,  with  a 
capacity of 1.2 Mt/y. 

At  Carville,  TOTAL  operates  a  styrene  plant  with  a  capacity  of 
1.2 Mt/y, in a 50% joint- venture with SABIC and a polystyrene unit 
with a capacity of 700 kt/y, which is 100% owned. 

Finally,  in  partnership  with  Borealis  and  Nova  Chemicals,  TOTAL 
started construction in 2017 of a new ethane cracker with an ethylene 
production capacity of 1 Mt/y on the Port Arthur site for an investment 
of $1.7 billion. The partners in the joint- venture (TOTAL, 50%) decided 
in September 2018 to develop a new polyethylene unit downstream 
of the cracker, in addition to the capacities of the Bayport site which 
TOTAL contributed to the joint- venture. This integrated development 
is expected to more than double the site’s polyethylene capacity to 
1.1 Mt/y and to thus maximize synergies with the existing assets at 
Port Arthur and Bayport. 

c) Asia, the Middle East and Africa

In China, TOTAL holds a 22.4% stake in WEPEC, a company that 
operates a refinery located in Dalian. The sale of this stake to one of 
the Chinese partners of the joint- venture is in the process of being 
finalized.  During  the  first  quarter  of  2019,  the  Group  sold  its 
polystyrene  activity  in  China,  which  notably  included  two  plants  in 
Foshan (Guangdong province) and Ningbo (Zheijiang province) in the 
Shanghai region, each with a capacity of 200 kt/y. 

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).  Following  the  launch  in  2014  of  new 
aromatics (paraxylene and benzene) and polymer units (EVA2), HTC 
continued to expand its activities and the steam cracker now has an 
ethylene  production  capacity  of  1.1  Mt/y  and  a  styrene  production 
capacity of 1.1 Mt/y. The EVA2 and ARO2 units were debottlenecked 
in  2016  and  2017  respectively.  In  addition,  investments  totaling 
$750  million  were  decided  in  2017  to  increase  the  ethylene 
production capacity by 30% and the polyethylene production capacity 
by more than 50%. At the end of 2018, the decision was taken to 
make  an  additional  investment  of  $500  million  to  increase  the 
polypropylene production capacity by nearly 60% by 2020 to reach 
1.1 Mt/y, and to increase its ethylene production capacity by 10% to 
reach 1.5 Mt/y. 

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

TOTAL  is  continuing  to  expand  in  growth  areas  and  is  developing 
sites in countries with favorable access to raw materials. The Group 
has first- rate platforms in these markets, which are ideally positioned 
for growth. 

TOTAL holds a 10% stake in the Ras Laffan condensate refinery, the 
capacity of which increased to 300 kb/d following completion of the 
project  to  double  the  refinery’s  capacity;  the  new  facilities  were 
commissioned in late 2016. 

In  Saudi  Arabia,  TOTAL  has  a  37.5%  stake  in  SATORP  (Saudi 
Aramco Total Refining and Petrochemical Company), which operates 
the  Jubail  refinery.  It  has  been  fully  operational  since  mid- 2014. 
This refinery, situated close to Saudi Arabia’s heavy crude oil fields, 
increased  its  capacity  by  10%  to  440  kb/d  following  the 
debottlenecking  in  early  2018  during  its  first  major  shutdown. 
The refinery’s configuration enables it to process these heavy crudes 
and  sell  fuels  and  other  light  products  that  meet  very  strict 
specifications and are mainly intended for export. The refinery is also 
integrated  with  petrochemical  units:  an  800  kt/y  paraxylene  unit,  a 
200  kt/y  propylene  unit,  and  a  140  kt/y  benzene  unit.  In  addition, 
TOTAL and Saudi Aramco signed in October 2018 an agreement to 
jointly  develop  the  engineering  studies  for  the  construction  of  a 
petrochemicals complex adjacent to the refinery. This gigantic project 
will  include  a  mixed- load  steam  cracker  (50%  ethane  and  refinery 
gas) with a capacity of 1.5 Mt/y and polyethylene units. 

In  the  United  Arab  Emirates,  in  November  2018,  TOTAL  sold  a 
33.3% stake that it held in ADNOC Fertilizers, which operates a plant 
producing 2 Mt/y of urea in Ruwais. 

In  Algeria,  in  October  2018,  the  Group  signed  a  shareholders’ 
agreement with Sonatrach to create the joint- venture (Sonatrach 51% 
and  TOTAL  49%)  to  implement  a  joint  petrochemicals  project  in 
Arzew, in western Algeria. This project includes the construction of a 
propane dehydrogenation plant and a polypropylene production unit 
with  a  capacity  of  550  kt/y.  The  joint-venture  was  incorporated  in 
January 2019. 

In  Africa,  the  Group  also  holds  interests  in  four  refineries  (South 
Africa, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal) after the sale of its interest 
in  the  refinery  in  Gabon  in  2016.  Refining  &  Chemicals  provides 
technical  assistance  for  two  of  these  refineries:  the  Natref  refinery 
with a capacity of 109 kb/d in South Africa and the SIR refinery with 
a capacity of 80 kb/d in Côte d’Ivoire.

(d) Mainly monoethylene glycol (MEG), polylactic acid polymer (PLA) and cyclohexane. 

F) Developing new avenues for the production of fuels
and polymers

TOTAL  is  exploring  new  ways  to  monetize  carbon  resources, 
conventional  or  otherwise  (natural  gas,  biomass,  waste).  These 
projects are part of the Group’s commitment to building a diversified 
energy mix generating lower CO2  emissions. 

Regarding biomass development, TOTAL is pursuing several industrial 
and exploratory projects. The scope of these developments is broad 
since they entail defining access to the resource (nature, sustainability, 
location, supply method, transport), the nature of the molecules and 
target  markets  (fuels,  petrochemicals,  specialty  chemicals)  and  the 
most  appropriate,  efficient  and  environmentally  friendly  conversion 
processes. 

a) Biomass to fuels

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

As part of the La Mède refinery transformation program announced 
in 2015, the Group will build the first biorefinery in France. Operations 
are expected to restart in the first half of 2019 with a view to reaching 
a production capacity of almost 500 kt/y of biofuel, mainly high- quality 
biodiesel (HVO), but also biojet and petrochemical bio- feedstocks. 

TOTAL continued extensive research activity in 2018, which targeted 
the emergence of new biofuel solutions. The BioTFuel consortium’s 
construction of a pilot demonstration unit on the Dunkerque (France) 
site led to the commencement in 2017 of a gasification test program 
for synthesis of biomass into fungible, sulfur- free fuels. 

b) Biomass to polymers

TOTAL  is  actively  involved  in  developing  activities  associated  with 
the  conversion  of  biomass  to  polymers.  The  main  area  of  focus  is 
developing drop- in solutions for direct substitutions, by incorporating 
biomass  into  the  Group’s  existing  units,  for  example  HVO  or  other 
hydrotreated  vegetable  oil  co- products  in  a  naphtha  cracker,  and 
developing the production of new molecules such as polylactic acid 
polymer  (PLA)  from  sugar.  In  2017,  the  Group  thus  set  up  a 
joint- venture with Corbion for the production and marketing of PLA 
from a site in Thailand containing existing lactide units and PLA units, 
which started production in December 2018 and have a production 
capacity of 75 kt/y. 

c) Biotechnologies and the conversion of biomass

TOTAL is exploring a number of opportunities for developing biomass 
and  has  launched  numerous  collaborative  R&D  projects  for  the 
development  of  bio- sourced  molecules  with  various  academic 
partners (the Joint BioEnergy Institute, United States, the University 
of Wageningen, Netherlands and the Toulouse White Biotechnology 
consortium, France) or through its Novogy subsidiary (Massachusetts, 
United States). In addition, TOTAL holds an interest in Amyris Inc. (1), 
an American company listed on NASDAQ. 

On  its  R&D  platform  in  Solaize  (France),  TOTAL  develops  new 
biocomponents  derived  from  the  transformation  of  the  biomass  by 
using  a  methodology  based  on  predictive  modeling  and  chemical 
transformation into high added- value biomolecules. 

In  the  longer  term,  the  Group  is  also  studying  the  potential  for 
developing  a  cost- effective  phototrophic  process  for  producing 
biofuels  through  bioengineering  of  microalgae  and  microalgae 
cultivation  methods.  It  has  several  European  partners  in  this  field 
(CEA, Wageningen). 

d) Plastics recycling and circular economy

TOTAL is commited to developing recycling and end of life solutions 
for plastics. 

In  France,  TOTAL,  Saint- Gobain,  Citeo  and  Syndifrais  founded  a 
partnership to develop an industrial polystyrene recycling value chain 
by  2020  which  aims  to  incorporate  the  polystyrene  gathered  and 
sorted in the Group’s plastics production units in Carling and Feluy. 

In February 2019, TOTAL acquired French company Synova, a leader 
in  manufacturing  high-performance  recycled  polypropylene  for  the 
automotive sector, and which current production capacity in 20 kt/y 
of  polypropylene  produced  from  recycled  plastic  material  gathered 
from wastes and industrial scraps. 

TOTAL  is  also  a  founding  member  of  the  Alliance  to  End  Plastic 
Waste,  created  in  January  2019  to  eliminate  plastic  waste  in  the 
environment, especially in the oceans. Created in January 2019, this 
international  alliance  has  received  commitments  of  over  $1  billion 
from the nearly 30 members to date to develop and bring to scale 
solutions that will minimize and manage plastic waste and promote 
solutions for used plastics by helping to enable a circular economy.

2.3.2.2  Shipping 

The  transportation  of  crude  oil  and  petroleum  products  necessary 
for  the  activities  of  the  Group  is  coordinated  by  Shipping. 
These  requirements  are  fulfilled  through  the  balanced  use  of  spot 
and time- charter markets. 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  2018,  Shipping  chartered  approximately  3,000  voyages  (slightly 
higher  than  2017  and  2016)  to  transport  143  Mt  of  crude  oil  and 
petroleum  products,  compared  to  133  Mt  in  2017  and  131  Mt  in 
2016. On December 31, 2018, the mid- term and long- term chartered 
fleet amounted to 56 vessels (including 8 LPG vessels), compared to 
59 in 2017 and in 2016. Shipping only charters vessels satisfying the 
best  international  standards  and  the  average  age  of  the  fleet  is 
approximately six years. 

As  part  of  its  Shipping  activity,  the  Group,  like  other  oil  companies 
and ship owners, uses freight rate derivative contracts to adjust its 
exposure to market fluctuations.

2.4.1  Presentation of the segment 

The Marketing & Services (M&S) business segment is dedicated to 
the development of TOTAL’s petroleum products distribution activities 
and related services throughout the world. 

Present  in  more  than  130  countries,  M&S  conveys  TOTAL’s  brand 
image  to  its  customers,  both  individual  and  professional.  TOTAL’s 
ambition is to be a leading brand recognized for its proximity to its 
customers and the value that it brings to each of them. M&S achieves 
this  ambition  by  creating  solutions  aimed  at  performance,  energy 
for  mobility (1)  and  digital 
efficiency,  mobility,  new  energies 
transformation. It promotes the brand awareness through significant 
advertising  campaigns  and  a  strong  presence  on  the  ground,  with 
more than 14,000 service stations around the world. To best meet 
its customers’ current and future needs, M&S continues its efforts in 
R&D in order to design and develop new products, in particular for 
the engine technologies of the future. 

M&S  pursues  a  proactive,  primarily  organic  development  strategy 
focused  on  large  growing  markets.  In  2018,  organic  investments 
were approximately $1 billion, stable compared to 2017, and focused 
mainly  on  retail  activity.  M&S  continues  to  consolidate  its  market 
share  in  key  Western  European  markets (2),  where  it  has  reached 
critical  mass  and  is  one  of  the  main  distributors  of  petroleum 
products. M&S continues to develop its activities in Africa, where it is 
the market leader (3). 

M&S  is  implementing  a  dynamic  portfolio  management  strategy. 
In 2018, it continued to make targeted acquisitions and enter targeted 
partnerships in order to support the development of its activities on 
growth and promising markets. After acquisitions in the Philippines 
and  Vietnam  in  2016,  M&S  continues  to  grow  in  the  largest  Asian 
markets, with the signature in 2018 of a major partnership with an 
Indian  conglomerate,  with  an  objective  to  build  over  time  a  retail 
network of 1,500 service stations in India. In February 2019, Saudi 
Aramco and TOTAL signed a joint venture agreement to develop a 
network  of  fuel  and  retail  services  in  Saudi  Arabia.  Following  the 
acquisition  of  a  network  in  the  Dominican  Republic  in  2016,  it  is 
pursuing its growth in the Americas zone, in countries such as Brazil 
and  Mexico,  respectively  the  largest  and  second- largest  petroleum 
products distribution markets (4)  in Latin America, and on the natural 
gas  vehicles  market  in  the  United  States.  In  2018,  TOTAL  also 
launched a fuel retail network with the national company in Angola. 

In  January  2018,  M&S  exited  the  fuel  distribution  and  commercial 
sales  businesses  in  Italy  by  selling  its  interest  in  the  TotalErg  joint- 
venture, while maintaining its lubricants activities in the country. M&S 
finalized the sale of its mature LPG distribution assets in Italy, Belgium, 
Luxembourg and Germany in 2017. It also sold in 2017 its stake in 

Société du Pipeline Méditerranée Rhône (SPMR), which operates a 
network of petroleum product pipelines in the South of France. 

M&S’s three main business areas are: 

—  Retail,  with  a  network  of  more  than  14,000  Group- branded 
service stations (5). The Group is refocusing on its key markets in 
Western Europe and continues to develop in Africa, where it is 
present  in  almost  40  countries,  as  well  as  in  major  growing 
markets in Asia and the Americas. It sells high- performance fuels 
and  petroleum  products  and  new  energies  for  mobility  (NGV, 
hydrogen,  electric  charging  for  vehicles).  M&S  proposes  a  fuel 
cards offer that provides fuel payment solutions and vehicle fleet 
management  services  to  businesses  of  all  sizes.  M&S  is 
developing partnerships with leading brands in restauration and 
convenience stores, and new services built on digital innovations 
to  capture  and  retain  new  customers.  It  is  also  pursuing  its 
growth in the car wash market through its TOTAL WASH brand. 
These  offers  support  customers  in  their  mobility  by  providing 
them  with  all  of  the  products  and  services  they  need  at  “One 
Stop Shop” service stations. The Group also addresses the road 
freight transport sector through the specialized AS24 network in 
Europe; 

—  the production and sale of lubricants, a sector that accounts for 
a  significant  share  of  M&S’s  adjusted  net  operating  income. 
TOTAL intends to maintain the growth dynamic of its position by 
strengthening  in  particular  the  growth  of  its  premium  products 
with  higher  unit  margins.  M&S  is  pursuing  its  commercial  and 
technological partnerships with car manufacturers. Investments 
in  R&D  enable  the  Group  to  supply  high- quality  premium 
lubricants to its customers worldwide. TOTAL has 43 production 
sites (blending plants); and 

—  the  distribution  of  products  and  services  for  professional 
markets.  Based  on  the  diversity  of  its  product  ranges  and  its 
worldwide  logistics  network  deployed  in  proximity  to  its 
customers, TOTAL is a partner of choice and a local supplier of 
products  (mainly  bulk  fuels,  aviation  fuel,  special  fluids,  LPG, 
bitumens, heavy fuels and marine bunkers), in particular for major 
multinational  industrial  groups.  The  Group  also  offers  solutions 
that  help  its  customers  to  manage  all  their  energy  needs  with 
new digital platforms such as the management of on- site facilities 
and the reduction of their environmental footprint. 

As part of its business, M&S owns stakes through its subsidiaries in 
four refineries in Africa, following the sale of its minority interest in a 
refinery  in  Gabon  in  2016.  Following  the  sale  of  its  interest  in  the 
TotalErg joint- venture in early 2018, M&S has exited Italian refining.

The  information  below  describes  Marketing  &  Services’  (M&S) 
principal activities presented by geographical zone and main business 
areas. 

2.4.4.1  Europe 

A) Retail

M&S  is  responding  to  changing  markets  in  Western  Europe  by 
developing an innovative and diversified line of products and services 
with the objective to maintain its market shares. The network is made 
up of almost 6,500 Group- branded service stations (1), mainly divided 
among its key markets, which are France, Belgium, the Netherlands, 
Luxembourg and Germany, where M&S reached an average market 
share of 16% in 2018. 

—  In  France,  the  dense  retail  network  of  almost  3,500  stations 
includes  over  1,600  TOTAL- branded  service  stations,  nearly 
690 Total Access- branded stations (service stations combining 
low prices and high- quality fuels) and nearly 1,100 Elan- branded 

stations (located in rural areas), of which 560 are expected to be 
rebranded as TOTAL stations by the end of 2019. The Group is 
diversifying its offering of new energies for mobility by extending 
the roll- out of electric charging points and NGV stations. In 2018, 
it  took  over  G2Mobility,  one  of  France’s  leading  suppliers  of 
charging solutions for electric vehicles for public authorities and 
on  professional  markets (2).  In  addition,  TOTAL  launched  the 
roll- out  of  its  NGV  offering,  which  should  be  available  in  nearly 
100 TOTAL- branded and AS24- branded stations by 2022. 

The  Group- branded  service  stations  enjoy  close  relationships 
with their local customers, meeting their everyday needs with a 
multi- service, multi- product offering developed through services 
in restaurants, convenience stores and car washes provided by 
leading brands such as Bonjour and TOTAL WASH, as well as 
partnerships tailored to local requirements. 

TOTAL  has  interests  in  28  depots  in  France,  7  of  which  are 
operated by Group companies. In 2017, TOTAL acquired a stake 
in the share capital of Dépôt Rouen Petit- Couronne (DRPC).

BUSINESS OVERVIEW FOR FISCAL YEAR 2018 

Marketing & Services segment  2

—  In Germany, TOTAL is the country’s third- largest operator (1)  with 
nearly 1,200 Group- branded service stations at the end of 2018. 

—  In  Belgium,  TOTAL  is  the  country’s  top  operator (1)  with  nearly 

530 Group- branded service stations. 

—  In the Netherlands, TOTAL made successful bids in 2018 during 
the  annual  auctions  for  three  new  highway  stations,  including 
one of the largest stations in the country. 

In 2016, TOTAL also finalized the sale of its network of 450 service 
stations in Turkey, which will continue to use the TOTAL brand under 
the  terms  of  a  brand  licensing  agreement  (today,  there  are 
500  TOTAL- branded  stations).  TOTAL  is  maintaining  its  lubricants 
activities in the country. 

TOTAL  is  rolling  out  a  dedicated  offering  for  the  growing  freight 
transport sector. The AS24 brand has a network of over 800 service 
stations  aimed  at  heavy- duty  vehicle  customers  in  28  European 
the 
countries.  AS24  seeks  continued  growth,  primarily 
Mediterranean basin and Eastern Europe and through its toll payment 
card  service  which  covers  nearly  20  countries.  AS24  is  also 
addressing  the  future  needs  of  the  freight  transport  sector  by 
diversifying  its  offering  with  the  gradual  introduction  of  NGV  to  its 
network  in  France  and  certain  other  European  countries  and  new 
digital services. 

in 

In addition, the acquisition in 2017 of PitPoint B.V., which specializes 
in the distribution of new energies for mobility (NGV, hydrogen, electric 
charging  points),  enables  the  Group  to  pursue  the  development  of 
its low- carbon activities in Europe. This company has a network of 
around 100 NGV stations in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium. 

TOTAL is also a major player in the European market for fuel payment 
cards with nearly 3.5 million cards, enabling companies of all sizes to 
improve  fuel  cost  management  and  access  an  ever- increasing 
number  of  services.  TOTAL  is  expanding  its  fuel  card  offering  for 
professional  customers,  with  an  electric  charging  service  across 
Europe  and  new  digital  applications.  The  acquisition  of  the  French 
start- up  WayKonect  enables  the  Group  to  reinforce  its  company 
vehicle  fleet  management  services  by  integrating  a  series  of  tools 
combining digital data processing solutions, an application for drivers 
and an on- board box. 

B) Lubricants

TOTAL  continues  its  development  in  Europe,  where  it  relies  mainly 
on  its  lubricants  production  sites  in  Rouen  (France)  and  Ertvelde 
(Belgium).  During  the  course  of  2018,  the  European  production 
system  was  completed  by  a  new  lubricants  production  plant  in 
Russia. 

In addition, TOTAL resumed in 2017 the distribution of its lubricants 
in Portugal. In Italy, the Group is reinforcing its position following the 
purchase from Erg of its shares in the lubricants business previously 
operated by TotalErg. 

C) Professional markets and other specialties

In  Europe,  TOTAL  produces  and  markets  specialty  products  and 
relies  on  its  industrial  facilities  to  produce  special  fluids  (Oudalle  in 
France) and bitumen (Brunsbüttel in Germany). 

TOTAL  promotes  in  France  a  wide  range  of  fuels  and  services  to 
135,000  vehicle  fleet  managers.  Fuel  sales  (heavy  fuels,  domestic 
fuels, etc.) reach nearly one million customers. 

2.4.4.2  Africa 

A) Retail

TOTAL is the leading marketer of petroleum products in Africa, with 
a 17% share of the retail market in 2018 (2). It is pursuing a strategy of 
profitable growth aiming at outpacing market expansion. 

In the Africa zone, the retail network in 2018 was made up of up to 
4,500  Group- branded  service  stations  in  nearly  40  countries. 

The Group has major retail networks in South Africa, Nigeria, Egypt 
and Morocco. In 2018, TOTAL also launched in Angola a fuel retail 
network with the national company Sonangol. 

In  order  to  achieve  its  goal  of  gaining  market  share  in  all  of  the 
countries where it is present in Africa, and in addition to its organic 
growth  strategy,  TOTAL  acquires  independent  petroleum  networks 
in  certain  countries.  The  Group  finalized  in  2017  the  purchase  of 
assets in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, enabling it to strengthen its 
supply and logistics activities in East Africa and boost the growth of 
the retail network with nearly 100 additional service stations, notably 
in Tanzania. 

M&S is diversifying its offering at service stations and is deploying a 
range of products and new services in food services, stores and car 
wash. To this end, the Group is developing partnerships, particularly 
with African start- ups, in order to introduce new electronic payment 
solutions capable of improving customer experience at the point of 
sale. 

B) Lubricants

TOTAL  is  the  leading  distributor (2)  of  lubricants  on  the  African 
continent and continues its growth strategy. M&S relies in particular 
on its lubricant production plants in Nigeria, Egypt and South Africa. 
A new production site is under construction in Algeria. In Tanzania, 
TOTAL  acquired  a  lubricants  production  plant  and  the  associated 
commercial  activities  will  enable  it  to  grow  in  the  country  and  in 
neighboring countries. 

C) Professional markets and other specialties

2.4.4.3  Asia- Pacific – Middle East 

M&S markets its products and services in more than 20 countries in 
this zone. 

A) Retail

TOTAL  has  more  than  2,000  Group- branded  service  stations  over 
the Asia- Pacific – Middle East zone at year- end 2018, with service 
station networks in Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Jordan, Lebanon, 
Pakistan and the Philippines. The Group is also a significant player in 
the Pacific islands. 

While  pursuing  its  growth  in  Pakistan,  the  Philippines  and  China, 
TOTAL  continues  to  grow  on  the  major  markets  by  joining  forces 
with an Indian conglomerate to build a retail network of 1,500 service 
stations  over  10  years  in  India.  The  two  companies  are  aiming,  in 
particular,  to  grow  on  the  country’s  main  roads,  such  as  highways 
and inter-city connections. 

In  February  2019,  Saudi  Aramco  and  Total  signed  a  Joint  Venture 
Agreement to develop a network of fuel and retail services in Saudi 
Arabia. The two companies have also signed an agreement to acquire 
two  companies,  thereby  jointly  acquiring  their  existing  network  of 
270  service  stations  and  their  fuel  tanker  fleet.  Saudi  Aramco  and 
Total  plan  to  modernize  this  network  and  build  high-quality  service 
stations  at  selected  locations.  This  operation  is  subject  to  prior 
approval of the competent administrative authorities.

C) Professional markets and other specialties

TOTAL  has  signed  several  partnership  agreements  with  industrial 
customers,  enabling  it  to  expand  its  operations  on  a  number  of 
markets, such as mining and construction, in several countries in the 
zone. The Group now supplies lubricants to one of the world’s leading 
mining industry service providers on more than 20 mining sites mostly 
in Australia, Indonesia and Mongolia. In 2018, TOTAL also signed a 
preferred supplier agreement with a Chinese partner that is a world 
major company in construction and public works, in order to extend 
their partnership, which currently focuses on Africa, to a worldwide 
scale. 

In specialty products, TOTAL confirmed its position as number two (1) 
on the LPG market in Vietnam. In India, TOTAL also conducts LPG 
activities, including a network of service stations providing LPG fuels. 

2.4.4.4  Americas 

In retail, the Group operates on several Caribbean islands and has 
at year- end 2018 more than 550 Group- branded service stations. 

At the end of 2018, TOTAL entered the fuel distribution sector in Brazil, 
Latin  America’s  largest  petroleum  products  distribution  market (2), 
by  acquiring  from  a  Brazilian  company  a  network  of  280  service 
stations,  along  with  its  petroleum  products  distribution,  resale  and 
import activities. M&S is already present in Brazil in lubricants. 

In  2018,  TOTAL  also  expanded  in  new  energies  for  mobility  by 
acquiring  a  25%  stake  in  the  American  NASDAQ- listed  company 
Clean Energy Fuels Corp., which is a leading supplier of natural gas 
fuel in North America. TOTAL is now a reference shareholder in this 
company. 

Benefitting from the reform and liberalization of the Mexican energy 
market, TOTAL entered into a partnership in 2017 with a local service 
station group and will gradually switch a network of nearly 250 service 
stations in Mexico over to the TOTAL brand. At the end of 2018, the 
Group had 90 TOTAL- branded service stations in the country. 

The  Group  acquired,  in  January  2016,  a  70%  stake  in  the  fuel 
marketing  leader  in  the  Dominican  Republic,  which  operates  a 
network  of  130  service  stations,  commercial  sales  and  lubricants 
activities. Furthermore, TOTAL sold its network of 92 stations and its 
general commercial activities in Haiti in 2018, as well as its network 
of almost 20 service stations in Costa Rica in 2017. 

In lubricants and other specialty products, TOTAL is pursuing its 
strategy  of  growth  across  the  region,  mainly  in  lubricants,  aviation 
fuel and special fluids. To strengthen its special fluids business, the 
Group has built a production plant in Bayport, Texas, which has been 
operational since early 2016. 

2.4.5  Products and services development

The  Group  develops  technologically  advanced  products,  some  of 
which  are  formulated  for  use  in  motor  sports  competition  before 
being generally released on the market, and continues its technical 
partnerships. The Group is notably associated with the PSA group, 
with  which  a  cooperation  agreement  was  renewed  in  late  2016 
relating  to  R&D,  business  relations  with  the  three  PSA  brands 
(Peugeot,  Citroën,  DS)  and  automobile  racing.  In  2018,  TOTAL 
continued  to  supply  DS  Performance  with  lubricants  specifically 
developed  for  the  Formula  E (3)  championship.  In  addition,  in  2018, 
TOTAL  became  the  official  supplier  of  fuels  to  various  endurance 
championships (4), including the Le Mans 24 Hours, for the next five 
years. These partnerships demonstrate TOTAL’s technical excellence 
in the formulation of fuels and lubricants under extreme conditions, 
subject to requirements to reduce fuel consumption, for the engines 
of the future. 

In order to respond to developments in world markets and prepare 
for tomorrow’s growth opportunities, TOTAL develops products and 
services in collaboration with its customers that optimize their energy 
consumption,  such  as  the  products  under  the  Total  Ecosolutions 
label,  which  include  TOTAL  EXCELLIUM  fuels  and  Fuel  Economy 

lubricants.  These  solutions  include  a  diversified  range  of  energy 
supplies (fuels, gas, solar and wood pellets) as well as consumption 
auditing, monitoring and management services, particularly through 
innovative  digital  platforms  for  industrial  customers,  such  as  the 
Optimizer solution, developed for customers in mining, construction 
and public works and agriculture. 

Overall, TOTAL is accelerating its digital innovation strategy in order 
to develop new offerings for its customers and improve operational 
efficiency. In Europe, after having developed a digital solution with a 
car- sharing company that allows drivers to pay for their fuel directly 
from a connected car, TOTAL has launched its TOTAL eWallet mobile 
payment  solution,  which  is  available  for  professional  customers  in 
Germany  and  being  launched  in  Belgium.  In  Africa,  TOTAL  is 
continuing  to  develop  new  electronic  payment  solutions  that  will 
enable  it  to  extend  its  money  transfer  and  smartphone  payment 
services. In addition, the Total Services mobile application has been 
launched  in  47  countries.  Using  a  centralized  digital  tool,  close  to 
6 million customers in 13 countries can receive personalized offers 
from the Group.

in  Europe 

—  Natural  gas  for  land  transportation:  As  of  today,  TOTAL  has 
more  than  350  stations (2)  supplying  NGV  to  individual  and 
professional  customers  in  Asia,  Africa  and  Europe,  a  decrease 
following  the  streamlining  of  the  network  of  NGV  stations  in 
Pakistan. Following the takeover of PitPoint B.V. in 2017, TOTAL 
started  deploying  new  NGV  stations 
its 
TOTAL- branded and AS24- branded network. The Group intends 
to accelerate the development of this network to quickly establish 
coverage that meets its customers’ expectations, and will initially 
target  the  freight  transportation  segment  on  its  key  European 
markets 
the 
Netherlands).  TOTAL  is  also  positioned  on  the  American  NGV 
market following the acquisition of a 25% stake in Clean Energy 
Fuels  Corp.,  which  is  a  leading  supplier  of  natural  gas  fuel  in 
North  America.  Clean  Energy  Fuels  Corp.  has  launched  an 
innovative leasing program that is expected to place thousands 
of new heavy- duty vehicles powered by natural gas on the road. 
This  program  enables  freight  operators  to  acquire  trucks 
equipped  with  a  cleaner  natural  gas  engine  at  no  extra  cost 
compared with diesel engines.

a  network  of  charging  points  every  150  km.  A  total  of  nearly 
300 stations should be equipped with more than 1,000 charging 
points  by  2022.  The  Group  offers  greater  access  for  its 
customers  to  other  operators’  networks  of  charging  points 
through specific partnerships. The acquisition of G2Mobility will 
enable the Group to also offer more efficient charging solutions 
to its individual and professional customers. 

—  Hydrogen: TOTAL continues to rollout hydrogen stations under 
the  H2  Mobility  Germany  joint- venture.  This  partnership  was 
created in 2015 with Air Liquide, Daimler, Linde, OMV and Shell, 
to  build  a  network  that  could  reach  400  hydrogen  stations  in 
Germany.  The  joint- venture  aims  to  create  an  initial  network  of 
around  100  stations  by  2019,  a  third  of  which  will  be  TOTAL 
stations. In 2018, TOTAL’s hydrogen stations represented nearly 
one  third  of  the  around  50  stations  rolled  out  by  H2  Mobility 
Germany. 

—  Natural  gas  for  shipping:  In  order  to  meet  the  new  emission 
standards  for  marine  fuels  that  will  come  into  effect  in  2020, 
TOTAL is supporting its customers through this transition with its 
subsidiary  Total  Marine  Fuel  Global  Solution,  which  offers  a 
diversified  range  of  marine  fuels  and  associated  services. 
The Group is expanding its product portfolio with marine bunker 
fuels,  which  have  a  sulfur  content  of  0.5%,  and  LNG  bunker. 
To promote the establishment of LNG as a marine fuel, TOTAL 
signed  in  2017  its  first  partnership  agreements  in  Europe  and 
Asia  notably  with  the  shipping  companies  CMA  CGM  and 
Brittany Ferries. The Group is also reinforcing its logistics systems 
to meet the needs of its customers in the major supply centers 
in  Amsterdam- Rotterdam- Antwerp,  Singapore  and  Oman. 
In  particular,  TOTAL  and  Pavilion  Energy  have  signed  an 
agreement in order to jointly develop an LNG supply chain in the 
port  of  Singapore.  This  agreement  provides  for  the  long- term 
joint chartering of a new- generation bunker vessel that the partner 
will bring into service in 2020.

(a)  Including acquisitions and increases in non- current loans. The main acquisitions for the 2016- 2018 period are detailed in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements (point 8.7 of 

chapter 8). 

(b) Net investments = gross investments – divestments – repayment of non- current loans – other operations with non- controlling interests. The main divestments for the 2016- 2018 period 

are detailed in Note 7 of the Consolidated Financial Statements (point 8.7 of chapter 8). 

(c)  Resource acquisitions = acquisition of a participating interest in an oil and gas mining property by way of an assignment of rights and obligations in the corresponding permit or license 

and related contracts, with a view to producing the recoverable oil and gas. 

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

In  the  Exploration  &  Production  segment,  most  of  the  organic 
investments were dedicated to the development of new hydrocarbon 
production facilities, the maintenance of existing facilities as well as 
exploration activities. Development investments related in particular 
to the 10 major projects that started up in 2018 (Fort Hills in Canada, 
Vaca Muerta in Argentina, Timimoun in Algeria, Yamal LNG trains 2 & 
3  in  Russia,  Kaombo  Norte  in  Angola,  Ichthys  LNG  trains  1  &  2  in 
Australia, Halfaya 3 in Iraq, and Egina in Nigeria), and the other major 
projects  under  construction,  for  which  an  investment  decision  has 
been taken or that are expected to start in the years to come (Tempa 
Rossa  in  Italy,  Iara  1  &  2  and  Libra  1  in  Brazil,  Kaombo  South  in 
Angola,  Culzean  in  the  United  Kingdom,  Johan  Sverdrup  1  &  2  in 
Norway,  Yamal  LNG  train  4  in  Russia,  Absheron  in  Azerbaijan  and 
Zinia 2 in Angola). 

In the Gas, Renewables & Power segment, organic investments were 
made  mainly  in  the  development  of  the  project  for  three  trains  for 
Cameron LNG in the United States, which entered the Group’s scope 
following the acquisition of Engie’s upstream LNG business, as well 
as the projects to build solar power plants, managed by Total Solar 
and the industrial activities of Saft Groupe and SunPower. 

In  the  Refining  &  Chemicals  segment,  organic  investments  were 
made, on the one hand, in the safety and maintenance of facilities, 
and,  on  the  other  hand,  in  projects  aimed  at  improving  the 
competitiveness  of  plants.  In  2018,  the  Group  continued  the 
transformation of the French refinery at La Mède into a biorefinery. In 
addition,  significant 
the 
development of petrochemical activities in Texas (United States) as 
part  of  a  joint- venture  with  Borealis  and  Nova,  and  a  project  to 
increase  the  capacity  of  the  Daesan  integrated  platform  in  South 
Korea. 

investments  were  approved,  with

BUSINESS OVERVIEW FOR FISCAL YEAR 2018 

Investments  2 

In the Marketing & Services segment, organic investments in 2018 
mainly  concerned  retail  networks  in  growing  regions  in  Africa  and 
Asia, logistics and specialty products production and storage facilities. 

The Group’s acquisitions in 2018 amounted to $8.3 billion, of which 
$4.5 billion in resource acquisitions, compared to $1.5 billion in 2017 
and $2 billion in 2016. 

The Group took advantage of favorable market prices to extend its 
Exploration & Production portfolio by finalizing in 2018, on the one 
hand, the acquisition of interests held by Petrobras in the Iara and 
Lapa  concessions  in  Brazil  under  the  terms  of  a  strategic  alliance 
between the two groups, and, on the other hand, the acquisition, as 
part of a transaction of equity and debt, of Mærsk Olie og Gas A/S, 
which has a portfolio located mainly in OECD countries. In addition, 
TOTAL  strengthened  its  presence  in  the  Gulf  of  Mexico  with  the 
finalization  of  the  acquisition  of  interests  in  the  North  Platte  and 
Anchor  offshore  discoveries  in  the  United  States.  Finally,  TOTAL 
consolidated its presence in the Middle East with the acquisition of 
interests in the two new offshore concessions in Abu Dhabi and in 
the Waha concessions in Libya. 

As  part  of  its  integrated  gas  strategy,  the  Group  finalized  the 
acquisition  of  Engie’s  upstream  LNG  business,  thus  becoming  the 

world’s  second  LNG  actor (1).  This  acquisition  is  expected  to  fully 
benefit from the strong growth of the LNG market. In keeping with its 
strategy to develop a profitable low- carbon electricity activity, TOTAL 
finalized the acquisition of Direct Énergie and of two gas power plants 
from  KKR- Energas.  In  the  Marketing  &  Services  segment,  TOTAL 
accelerated its growth in new energies for mobility with the acquisition 
of 25% of the share capital of the Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (2)  in the 
United States and of G2Mobility in France. In the lubricants business, 
the  Group  strengthened  its  position  in  Italy  by  finalizing  in  January 
2018 the purchase of Erg’s 51% stake in the TotalErg joint- venture, 
which has been terminated. 

TOTAL pursued the dynamic management of its portfolio and finalized 
divestments amounting to a total of $5.2 billion in 2018. In particular, 
the Group sold its interests in the Martin Linge and Visund fields in 
Norway, and in the Joslyn oil sands project. It also disposed of 1.47% 
of its stake in the Fort Hills oil sands mining extraction project in Canada 
and of 4% of the Ichthys LNG project in Australia. In the Marketing & 
Services segment, TOTAL sold its interests in the distribution, refining 
and LPG activities of TotalErg in Italy and its fuel distribution activities 
in Haiti. 

Net  investments  were  thus  $15.6  billion  in  2018  compared  to 
$11.6 billion in 2017 and $17.8 billion in 2016.

2.5.2  Major planned investments 

The  Group  anticipates  that  its  net  investments  will  be  between 
$15 billion and $16 billion in 2019, in line with its investment targets 
of  between  $15  billion  and  $17  billion  per  year  for  the  period 
2018- 2020,  a  range  ensuring  the  profitable  future  growth  for  the 
Group. 

Investments in the Exploration & Production segment are expected 
to mainly be in the major ongoing development projects: Iara 1 and 2 
and Libra 1 in Brazil, Kaombo South in Angola, Culzean in the United 
Kingdom,  Johan  Sverdrup  1  &  2  in  Norway,  Yamal  LNG  train  4  in 
Russia,  Absheron  in  Azerbaijan  and  Zinia  2  in  Angola.  The  Group 
expects to launch by 2020 more than 20 major projects. A portion of 
the  investments  is  expected  to  be  allocated  to  assets  already  in 
production,  in  particular  for  maintenance  capital  expenditures  and 
in- fill wells. 

In  the  Refining  &  Chemicals  segment,  and  in  line  with  its  growth 
strategy  in  petrochemicals,  the  Group  expects  to  continue  its 
investments  to  develop  its  petrochemicals  activities  in  Texas  in  the 
United States, as part of a joint- venture with Borealis and Nova, and 

increase  of  its  petrochemicals  capacities  on  the  Daesan  integrated 
platform in South Korea. In addition, the Group has launched a major 
project  in  cooperation  with  Saudi  Aramco  in  Saudi  Arabia,  and 
announced  the  signature  of  a  shareholders’  agreement  with 
Sonatrach  to  build  a  petrochemicals  complex  in  Arzew,  Algeria. 
A significant portion of the segment’s investment budget will also be 
allocated to safety and maintenance of the Group’s facilities. 

In the Marketing & Services segment, investments are expected to 
be  allocated  in  particular  to  the  service  station  network,  logistics, 
and production and storage facilities of specialty products, particularly 
lubricants. Most of the segment’s investment budget will be allocated 
to growing regions, notably Africa, the Middle East and Asia. 

The Group expects to continue investing to grow its Gas, Renewables 
&  Power  businesses,  as  well  as  in  R&D.  The  Group  has  notably 
signed an agreement with EPH to acquire as from January1, 2020 
the  two  gas  power  plants  from  Uniper  France’s  portfolio  which 
represent  a  capacity  of  828  MW,  in  line  with  TOTAL’s  low- carbon 
electricity strategy. 

2.5.3  Financing mechanisms 

TOTAL  self- finances  most  of  its  investments  with  cash  flow  from 
operating  activities  and  may  occasionally  access  the  bond  market 
when  financial  market  conditions  are  favorable.  Investments  for 
joint- ventures between TOTAL and external partners may be financed 
through specific project financing. 

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 13 to 
the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  (point  8.7  of  chapter  8). 
The  Group  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.

Research & Development 

2.6  Research & Development 

In  2018,  the  Group  invested  $986  million  in  R&D,  compared  to 
$912 million in 2017 and $1,050 million in 2016. There were 4,288 
people  dedicated  to  R&D  activities  in  2018  compared  to  4,132  in 
2017 and 4,939 in 2016 (1). 

TOTAL’s global investment to prepare the future of its oil and gas and 
low- carbon  electricity  activities  was  approximately  $1.1  billion. 
This includes the entire R&D effort, as well as developments in the 
fields of digital technology, technology and the investments funded 
by Total Energy Ventures. 

To achieve the Group’s ambition to become the responsible energy 
major, TOTAL R&D engages its employees in programs in five priority 
areas  that  aim  to  address  both  the  specific  challenges  in  these 
segments and the Group’s transverse issues: 

—  safety in the broadest sense, including the safety of facilities, the 
sustainable development of the Group’s activities, control of its 
environmental  footprint  and  societal  impacts  as  well  as  the 
eco- design of products; 

—  operational  efficiency,  in  terms  of  cost  reductions,  increased 
productivity  and,  ultimately,  competitive  advantage,  in  both  the 
discovery  and  operation  of  energy  resources  and  the  integrity 
and  performance  of  the  Group’s  industrial  units  in  terms  of 
availability,  industrial  energy  efficiency  and  the  competitive 
performance; 

2.6.1  Transverse programs 

In addition to a specific program dedicated to strategic anticipation, 
seven transverse programs cover new and strategic sectors, or share 
knowledge and infrastructures in the following areas: 

—  Health,  Safety  and  Environment  (HSE),  with,  for  example,  the 
development  of  the  TADI  (Transverse  Anomaly  Detection 
Infrastructure)  platform  that  reproduces  gas  leak  scenarios, 
ranging  from  crisis  management  to  environmental  surveillance. 
More  than  20  acoustic  or  optical  detection  techniques  were 
tested  in  various  campaigns  in  2018,  providing  an  open 
innovation  platform  for  potential  suppliers  and  for  discussions 
with  other  industrial  companies  to  select  the  best  available 
technologies  for  the  detection  and  quantification  of  gas  leaks, 
and of methane in particular; 

— CO2  capture, use and storage (CCUS), such as the large- scale 
Northern Lights research project in Norway, in which the Group 
is  involved  alongside  Shell  and  Equinor.  The  first  phase  of  the 
project relates to a storage capacity of approximately 1.5 Mt/y. 
TOTAL also participates in two CCU innovation centers in Canada 
with  start- ups,  looking  into  new  technologies  for  the  capture 
of CO2  and the conversion of CO2  into intermediate products for 
chemicals  and  materials.  TOTAL  has  also 
joined  three 
demonstration centers for the storage of CO2  for geomechanical 
studies and studies of the control of CO2  injection; 

—  energy  efficiency,  with,  for  example,  the  installation  of  the  first 
DIESTA  cooling  tower  in  a  refinery  to  cool  a  distillate. 
This  technology  was  initially  designed  to  cool  and  condense 
propane for LNG cold generators; 

—  new  services  and  products,  including  smart  electricity  grids, 
energy management solutions for customers, mobility solutions, 
the development of specific polymers, innovative and competitive 
multi- functional  materials,  or  new  fluids  for  electric  and  hybrid 
vehicles; 

—  an  energy  mix  based  on  low- carbon  energies  combining  gas 
and  LNG  (liquefied  natural  gas)  technologies,  sun  and  wind 
power, hybrid energy management systems, as well as battery 
technologies,  CO2  capture,  use  and  storage 
(CCUS) 
technologies,  bioproducts,  such  as  biofuels  and  biopolymers, 
and recycling; and 

—  digital 

in 

technology, 

including 
high- performance computing and blockchain technologies, data 
sciences,  the  Internet  of  Things  (IoT),  robotics  and  artificial 
intelligence applied to the Group’s activities. 

the  broadest  sense, 

The  Group  is  investing  in  the  preparation  of  its  future  in  open 
innovation  by  calling  on  its  talents,  its  research  infrastructures,  its 
pilot  sites  and  its  international  research  centers,  as  well  as  on 
start- ups and top- level academic partners. Consequently, the Group 
has 18 R&D centers worldwide and approximately 1,000 agreements 
with its partners. 

Additionally, the Group implements an active industrial property policy 
to protect its innovations, and to maximize their use and technological 
differentiation.  In  2018,  the  Group  filed  more  than  200  patent 
applications. 

—  gas,  with,  for  example,  an  initiative  that  aims  to  map  out  the 
different  emerging  technologies  and  to  compare  them  with 
baselines in terms of their carbon footprint, energy efficiency and 
economic performance. This initiative is also being deployed for 
the conversion of natural gas into high- added value molecules, 
such  as  olefins  (ethylene  and  propylene).  The  first  material 
balances produced by the partnership with GTC Technology, a 
leading  American  actor  in  petrochemicals  process  engineering 
on an international scale, are in line with the Group’s expectations; 

—  digital  technology,  with  the  development  of  new  digital  seismic 
imaging methods, artificial intelligence algorithms to optimize the 
detection  of  hydrocarbons  on  surface  water  and  refining 
processes, and a digital simulator of the tribological phenomena 
in lubricants; 

—  analysis  and  measurements,  with,  for  example,  the  bases  of  a 
methodology  combining  physico- chemical  and  olfactometric 
analysis with digital methods in the Group’s partnership with Alès 
Mines.  This  methodology  is  of  particular  interest  to  the 
improvement of the olfactory quality of materials, and of polymers 
and  composites 
for  greater 
responsiveness in the event of odorous episodes in the vicinity 
of the Group’s industrial sites; 

in  particular,  and  provides 

—  understanding  of  process  and  product  performance,  with,  for 
example, the control of crude/water emulsions using an approach 
based on modeling in collaboration with ETH Zürich. 

The anticipation program is carried out by forward- looking projects 
that  aim  to  assess  the  impact  on  the  Group’s  businesses  of  new 
technologies, such as nanotechnology, robotics or the mobility of the 
future.

2.6.2  Business segment- specific programs 

2.6.2.1  Exploration- Production segment 

All of the R&D projects aim to combine environmental performance, 
improved safety and economic viability of operations. A major asset 
for  R&D  lies  in  the  remarkable  high- performance  computing 
capabilities of the Pangea supercomputer developed by the Group. 

The goal of the teams in the Frontier Exploration program is to identify 
geological concepts that will enable the potential of proved basins to 
be reassessed and new potential basins for oil and gas exploration 
to be envisaged. 

Remote detection, airborne multiphysical acquisition systems for the 
real- time  imaging  of  steep  margins,  new- generation  algorithms… 
From  the  acquisition  to  the  processing  of  data,  the  Earth  Imaging 
program innovates along the complete geophysical exploration chain 
to  produce  high- added  value  3D  ultrasound  images  of  the  subsoil 
more quickly and at a reduced cost. 

The  actions  of  the  Field  Reservoir  program  focus  on  our 
understanding  of  the  physico- chemical  phenomena  in  reservoirs, 
from pores to fields, and on the integration of all the available data. 
The  development  of  a  new  generation  of  reservoir  modeling  tools, 
the  continual  improvement  of  reservoir  simulation  tools  and  the 
development of low- cost enhanced recovery techniques are the key 
themes of this program. 

The Wells program aims to achieve the dual objectives of maximizing 
the safety and operational efficiency of wells, thereby increasing their 
profitability.  This  program,  which  provides  real- time  access  to  data 
from well bottoms (during drilling) and from wells (in production), is 
essential. 

The  main  goals  of  the  Deep  Offshore  &  Next  Generation  Facilities 
program  consist  of  further  cutting  technical  costs  with  completely 
underwater  development  solutions,  developing  breakthrough 
technologies to economically explore and develop assets at depths 
of more than 3,000 meters, and designing disruptive operating modes 
offering higher profitability, without compromising safety. 

Finally,  the  emphasis  of  the  Unconventional  program  is  on 
fundamental  research  (multi- scale  characterization  of  source  rock 
and  the  origins  and  expulsion  of  hydrocarbons)  and  on  technical 
innovations  to  optimize  recovery.  These  efforts  converge  to  guide 
exploration  towards  the  most  promising  geological  strata  and  to 
provide  the  technological  keys  to  their  profitable  and  responsible 
use. 

2.6.2.2  Gas, Renewables & Power segment 

Today, the R&D activities concentrate on the testing and qualification 
of solar panels and on photovoltaic electricity management systems. 

In 2018, TOTAL’s private laboratory, located on the premises of the 
Institut  Photovoltaïque  d’Île- de- France  (IPVF)  on  the  Paris- Saclay 
cluster, was commissioned with a 1,000 m² clean room environment. 
This leading- edge technological platform covers a large part of the 
solar value chain, from the manufacture of solar cells and modules, 
to  the  qualification  and  testing  of  technologies  and  systems  under 
real- life  conditions.  Its  missions  are  to  support  the  Group’s 
subsidiaries  and  to  work  on  the  development  of  competitive  cells 
and modules, in partnership with the IPVF in particular. 

SunPower  is  pursuing  its  research,  development  and  innovation 
efforts to improve the performance of photovoltaic cells and modules, 
while also cutting costs. Once its feasibility had been demonstrated, 
the  NGT  (New  Generation  Technology)  of  photovoltaic  cells  was 
integrated on a first production line. The module assembly technology 
has also been transferred. 

In addition, 2018 saw the ramp- up of work on smart electricity grids, 
focusing on two key themes: 

—  the control and optimization of hybrid sites that combine several 
energy  sources  and  are  used  to  store  energy,  and  to  control 
electric  loads  in  order  to  supply  energy  that  is  safer,  more 
affordable and cleaner in terms of CO2  emissions; 

—  the launch of the Energy Management Platform (EMP) project, a 
transverse  center  of  excellence  in  the  processing,  acquisition 
(IoT)  and  presentation  of  data  (user  experience),  and  in  data 
science and artificial intelligence. The EMP is cooperating closely 
with  Digital  and  IT  on  some  ten  projects  for  different  Group 
entities. 

Finally, in the realm of electricity storage, Saft Group and its European 
partners  have  launched  a  program  for  the  research,  development 
and industrialization of new generations of solid electrolyte lithium- ion 
(Li- ion)  batteries  that  are  more  efficient,  cheaper  and  intrinsically 
safer  than  current  Li- ion  batteries.  R&D  investments  focus  on 
electrochemistry, new materials and improving production processes 
and battery management systems and software. This program targets 
every market segment, from electro- mobility (electric cars and buses, 
the  railroads,  maritime  and  aviation  sectors)  and  energy  storage, 
to specialized industries. 

2.6.2.3  Refining & Chemicals segment 

A) Refining & Chemicals (excluding Hutchinson)

The mission of R&D is to contribute to the technological differentiation 
of the Refining & Chemicals activities by developing and implementing 
new and more efficient solutions to create value. It opens the way to 
the industrialization of knowledge, processes and technologies. 

R&D places special emphasis on the three major challenges facing 
Refining & Chemicals: limiting the environmental footprint; achieving 
excellence in processes and operations; and developing innovative 
products, in particular biosourced products. 

Research is focused on the integrity, availability and improved energy 
efficiency  of  refining  and  petrochemicals  facilities.  As  a  result, 
advanced modeling of feedstocks and processes is used to optimize 
processing from the monthly supply of the platforms to the real- time 
monitoring  of  the  facilities’  constraints.  Research  conducted  on 
catalysts  and  their  selection  is  helping  to  increase  performance, 
improve stability and extend their service life at a lower cost. 

In order to contribute to the limitation of the carbon footprint, R&D is 
looking into new processes, such as in the area of electro- catalysis 
and biosourced raw materials. It studies the catalytic solutions of the 
future, paving the way for nanocatalysis. 

It  designs  the  technologies  that  will  be  used  to  develop  new  and 
more efficient products containing recycled materials (polystyrene in 
particular),  while  retaining  all  the  applicative  properties  of  the  end 
product. Additionally, R&D draws on its knowledge of metallocenes 
and  bimodality  to  develop  different  types  of  mass  consumption 
polymers that have exceptional properties allowing them to replace 
heavier materials and compete with technical polymers. 

Finally,  Refining  &  Chemicals’  R&D  is  developing  technologies 
enabling more efficient use of biosourced molecules. The aim is to 
produce higher added- value chemical compounds, whether through 
biotechnologies  or  thermochemical  processes.  In  this  area,  the 
studies  focus  on  the  processes  to  convert  plant  oils,  sugar  or 
lignocellulose in order to produce sustainable bioplastics and biofuels 
as  well  as  to  extend  the  range  of  feedstocks  that  can  be  used  in

existing facilities. R&D is also particularly mindful of issues related to 
blends and product quality raised by the use of biomolecules. 

B) Elastomer processing (Hutchinson)

R&D  is  an  important  factor  in  innovation  and  differentiation  for 
Hutchinson,  which  is  present  along  the  entire  value  chain,  from 
designing custom materials (e.g., rubber, thermoplastics, composites) 
to  incorporating  connected  solutions  and  objects  (e.g.,  complex 
solutions, mechatronics, hardware, software, systems, IoT, big data, 
etc.). 

With  a  corporate  research  and  innovation  center,  more  than 
25  technical  centers  and  a  number  of  university  partnerships 
worldwide,  Hutchinson  is  equipped  to  rise  to  the  challenge  of 
contributing  to  a  safer,  more  comfortable,  and  more  responsible 
mobility of the future. 

Weight  reduction,  increased  energy  efficiency,  improved  diagnostic 
and control functionality and greater acoustic and vibratory comfort 
are common preoccupations across all of Hutchinson’s markets (e.g., 
automotive,  aerospace,  defense,  railways).  Hutchinson  designs 
innovative solutions that put its customers ahead of the game, and 
transposes  those  solutions  between  markets,  adopting  a  cross-
fertilization approach. 

2.6.2.4  Marketing & Services segment 

The Marketing & Services segment’s R&D remains focused, on the 
one  hand,  on  the  optimization  of  the  competitive  advantage  of 
products  on  the  consumer  and  professional  markets,  and,  on  the 
other,  on  the  acquisition  of  skills  in  artificial  intelligence  (digital 
simulation, molecular modeling, data science) in order to respond to 
market demands more quickly. 

One  of  R&D’s  main  missions  is  the  design  and  development  of 
Premium  fuels  and  lubricants  offering  customer  benefits  based  on 
the  reduction  of  the  environmental  footprint,  improved  energy 
efficiency  and  the  greater  durability  of  products  and  equipment. 
By  way  of  example,  the  development  of  a  new  detergent  for  fuels 
selected  by  a  world- leading  partner  has  entered  the  first  pilot 
production  phase.  Likewise,  a  new  additive  to  improve  the 
performance of cold road diesel is now in industrial production. 

The  formulation  of  Fuel  Economy  lubricants  is  a  short- and 
medium- priority for all segments (automotive, marine and industry). 
The R&D teams are pursuing their efforts to incorporate specific new 
components developed with partners, such as fluid lubricating bases 
or  polymers  with  a  targeted  rheological  profile.  The  Fuel  Economy 
program  also  includes  engines  for  heavy  goods  vehicles  and 
stationary engines. TOTAL is taking an active part in the multi- partner 
FALCON  (Flexible  &  Aerodynamic  truck  for  Low  CONsumption) 
project  led  by  Volvo.  Regarding  marine  lubricants,  the  method 
developed  by  the  Group  to  quantify  the  efficiency  of  lubricants  in 
neutralizing  acid  combustion  gases  has  been  recognized  and 
rewarded by the ASTM standardization organization. 

The  R&D  teams  are  working  on  the  design  of  ranges  of  lubricants 
adapted to natural gas, in particular in liquefied form, for long- distance 
heavy goods vehicles and maritime transport. 

The  Electric  Vehicles  Fluids  program  resulted  in  the  launch  of  a 
pioneering  range  of  fluids  for  electric  and  hybrid  vehicles.  These 
products,  which  are  the  fruit  of  major  efforts  made  by  the  Group’s 
R&D  teams,  were  developed  specially  to  meet  the  cooling  and 
lubrication  needs  of  the  different  components  of  these  new  drive 
systems, so that they can work under optimal conditions. 

In the field of special fluids, the Group’s research center in India has 
developed an aqueous anti- friction sludge for drilling. 

In  the  realm  of  road  binders,  the  first  industrial  and  commercial 
successes  have  confirmed  a  new  process  to  prepare  chemical 
bitumen- polymer  mixtures  with  a  reduced  environmental  footprint. 
The  I- Street  innovation  project  led  by  Eiffage,  in  a  consortium  with 
TOTAL and other partners, won the Ademe’s Route du Futur call for 
projects. TOTAL is also part of the GLOBE program, which is aiming 
to create a logistical solution for bitumen granules that stretches from 
the refinery to the point of use. 

The  Biolab  biocomponents  laboratory,  inaugurated  in  2016  and 
common  to  the  Marketing  &  Services  and  Refining  &  Chemicals 
segments, acquired a new skill in biofermentation in the summer of 
2018.  On  the  one  hand,  a  process  for  the  synthesis  of  renewable 
components has been patented, and, on the other, the first trials of 
renewable  multi- functional  lubricants  revealed  some  promising 
performances. 

In  2018,  Marketing  &  Services  R&D  intensified  its  open  innovation 
projects and entered new partnerships in France and abroad (such 
as the partnership with the University of Aachen, Germany). It also 
received  more  than  1,000  visitors  to  present  its  technological 
innovations to partners, customers, prospects and stakeholders. 

2.7  Property, plant and equipment 

The companies of the Group have freehold and leasehold interests in 
over  130  countries  throughout  the  world.  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  this  chapter  for  each  business 
segment  (Exploration  &  Production,  Gas,  Renewables  &  Power, 
Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services). 

A summary of the Group’s property, plant and equipment and their 
main  related  expenses  (depreciation  and  impairment)  is  included 
in  Note  7.2  to  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  (point  8.7  of 
chapter  8). 

Minimum royalties from finance lease agreements regarding properties, 
service  stations,  vessels  and  other  equipment  are  presented 
in Note 13.2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements (point 8.7 of 
chapter 8). 

Information  about  the  objectives  of  the  Company’s  environmental 
policy,  in  particular  those  related  to  the  Group’s  industrial  sites  or 
facilities, is presented in chapter 5.

3 RISKS AND CONTROL 

Risk Factors 

3.1  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, including 
its operating income and cash flow, reputation 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 chapter presents the significant risks to which the 
Group  believes  it  is  exposed  as  of  the  date  of  this  Registration 
Document. However, as of such date, the Group may not be aware 

of, or may be underestimating the potential consequences of, other 
risks that could, or other risks may not have been considered by the 
Group as being likely to have a material adverse impact on the Group, 
its business, financial condition, including its operating income and 
cash flow, reputation or outlook. 

The  main  internal  control  and  risk  management  procedures, 
in  particular  those  relating  to  the  preparation  and  processing  of 
accounting  and  financial  information,  are  described  in  point  3.3  of 
this chapter. 

3.1.1  Risks related to market environment and other financial risks 

The financial performance of TOTAL is sensitive to a number of 
market environment related factors, the most significant being 
hydrocarbon prices, refining margins and exchange rates. 

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

In  2018,  at  first,  oil  prices  increased  to  reach  their  highest  point  in 
October  above  $80  per  barrel,  supported  by  supply  tensions  and 
geopolitics.  Prices  then  decreased  to  below  $60  per  barrel  by  the 
end  of  the  year,  mainly  driven  by  record  production  in  the  United 
States. In December, OPEC and Russia announced a production cut 
to  mitigate  the  price  drop.  The  oil  and  natural  gas  markets  remain 
highly volatile. 

For the fiscal year 2019, according to the scenarios retained below, 
the Group estimates that an increase of $10 per barrel in the average 
liquids price would increase annual adjusted net operating income (1) 
by approximately $2.7 billion and annual cash flow from operations 
by  approximately  $3.2  billion.  Conversely,  a  decrease  of  $10  per 
barrel  in  the  average  liquids  price  would  decrease  annual  adjusted 

net operating income by approximately $2.7 billion and annual cash 
flow from operations by approximately $3.2 billion. 

The impact of changes in crude oil and gas 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 annual 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 annual cash flow from operations by 
approximately $0.6 billion. 

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 a decrease of $0.10 per euro (strengthening 
of  the  dollar  versus  the  euro)  would  increase  annual  adjusted  net 
operating  income  by  approximately  $0.1  billion  and  have  a  limited 
impact on annual cash flow from operations. Conversely, an increase 
of  $0.10  per  euro  (weakening  of  the  dollar  versus  the  euro)  would 
decrease adjusted net operating income by approximately $0.1 billion 
and have a limited impact on annual cash flow from operations.

attributable essentially to Refining & Chemicals. 

(b) Brent environment at 60 $/b. 

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: 

—  the ability of the 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; 

—  variations in global and regional supply of and demand for energy; 

—  cost and availability of new technologies; 

—  global  and  regional  economic  and  political  developments  in 
natural  resource- producing  regions,  particularly  in  the  Middle 
East, Africa and South America, as well as in Russia; 

—  regulations and governmental actions; 

—  global economic and financial market conditions;

—  the  security  situation  in  certain  regions,  the  magnitude  of 

international terrorist threats, wars or other conflicts; 

—  changes in demographics, notably population growth rates, and 

consumer preferences; and 

—  adverse weather conditions that can disrupt supplies or interrupt 

operations of the Group’s facilities. 

Prolonged periods of low oil and natural gas prices may reduce the 
economic  viability  of  projects  in  production  or  in  development  and 
reduce the Group’s liquidity, thereby decreasing its ability to finance 
capital  expenditures  and/or  causing  it  to  cancel  or  postpone 
investment projects. 

If TOTAL were unable to finance its investment projects, the Group’s 
opportunities  for  future  revenues  and  profitability  growth  would  be 
reduced,  which  could  materially  negatively  impact  the  Group’s 
financial condition, including its operating income and cash flow. 

Prolonged periods of low oil and natural gas prices may reduce the 
Group’s reported reserves and cause the Group to revise the price 
assumptions  upon  which  asset  impairment  tests  are  based,  which 
could have a significant adverse effect on the Group’s results in the 
period in which it occurs. For additional information on impairments 
recognized on the Group’s assets, refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements (point 8.7 of chapter 8). 

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 results from its Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & 
Services  segments  are  primarily  dependent  upon  the  supply  and 
demand for petroleum products and the associated margins on sales 
of these products, with the impact of changes in oil and gas prices 
on results on these segments being dependent upon the speed at 
which the prices of petroleum products adjust to reflect movements 

in oil and gas prices. In 2018, the positive effects of higher oil and 
gas  prices  on  the  Group’s  results  have  been  greater  than  the 
decrease  of  the  results  of  the  Refining  &  Chemicals  segment.  The 
Group’s refining margins remain highly volatile. 

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  and  freight- rate  instruments  to  reduce  its  exposure  to 
price fluctuations of crude oil, petroleum products, natural gas, power 
and  freight- rates.  Although  TOTAL  believes  it  has  established 
appropriate risk management procedures, large market fluctuations 
may  adversely  affect  the  Group’s  activities  and  financial  condition, 
including its operating income and cash flow. 

For more detailed information on the impact of oil and gas prices on 
the Group’s 2018 results, financial condition (including impairments) 
and outlook, refer to point 1.4 of chapter 1. 

TOTAL is exposed to other financial risks related to its financing 
and cash management activities. 

The  Group  is  exposed  to  changes  in  interest  rates  and  foreign 
exchange rates. Even though the Group generally seeks to minimize 
the  currency  exposure  of  each  entity  with  regards  to  its  functional 
currency  (primarily  the  dollar,  the  euro,  the  pound  sterling  and  the 
Norwegian  krone),  the  Group’s  financial  condition,  including  its 
operating income and cash flow, could be impacted by a significant 
change in the value of these currencies. 

In addition, as TOTAL mostly turns to financial markets for its external 
financing,  its  financial  condition  and  operations  could  be  materially 
impacted if access to those markets were to become more difficult. 

For further information on financial risks, refer to Notes 15 and 16 to 
the Consolidated Financial Statements (point 8.7 of chapter 8).

Industrial and environmental risks and risks related to climate issues 

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

and  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  Group’s  financial 
condition. 

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. 

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 or massive leakage, resulting in death or injury 
and/or accidental pollution on a large- scale or at an environmentally 
sensitive site. 

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

Certain activities of the Group face additional specific risks. TOTAL’s 
Exploration & Production activities are exposed to risks related to the 
physical characteristics of oil and gas fields, particularly during drilling 
operations,  which  can  cause  blow  outs,  explosions,  fires  or  other 
damage, in particular to the environment, and 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 Gas, Renewables & 
Power (1), 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, environment).

RISKS AND CONTROL 

Risk Factors 

TOTAL’s workforce and the public are exposed to risks inherent to 
the Group’s operations, which could lead to legal proceedings against 
the  Group’s  entities  and  legal  representatives,  notably  in  cases  of 
death,  injury  and  property  and  environmental  damage.  Such 
proceedings could also damage the Group’s reputation. In addition, 
like most industrial groups, TOTAL is concerned by declarations of 
occupational illnesses. 

To manage the operational risks to which it is exposed, the Group 
has adopted a preventive and remedial approach by putting in place 
centralized  HSE  (health,  safety  and  environment)  and  security 
management  systems  that  seek  to  take  all  necessary  measures  to 
reduce  the  related  risks  (refer  to  points  5.4  and  5.5  of  chapter  5). 
In  addition,  the  Group  maintains  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 point 3.4 of 
this chapter. 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’s  financial  condition,  including  its  operating  income  and 
cash flow, and its reputation. 

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

The  Group  has  crisis  management  plans  in  place  to  deal  with 
emergencies (refer to point 5.5 of chapter 5). 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 for the Group 
to resume its activities in a timely manner could prolong the impact 
of any disruption and thus could have a material adverse effect on its 
financial condition, including its operating income and cash flow. 

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  the  environment,  health  and  safety.  In  most  countries 
where  the  Group  operates,  particularly  in  Europe  and  the  United 
States, sites and products are subject to increasingly stringent laws 
governing  the  protection  of  the  environment  (water,  air,  soil,  noise, 
protection of nature, waste management and impact assessments, 
etc.), health (occupational safety and chemical product risk, etc.) and 
the safety of personnel and residents. Product quality and consumer 
protection  are  also  subject  to  increasingly  strict  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,  property  damage, 
environmental harm and loss of customers, which could negatively 
impact the Group’s financial condition, including its operating income 
and cash flow, and its 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 financial condition. 

The introduction of new laws and regulations could compel the Group 
to curtail, modify or cease certain operations or implement temporary 
shutdowns  of  sites,  which  could  diminish  productivity  and  have  a 
material adverse impact on its financial condition. 

Moreover,  pursuant  to  applicable  regulations,  most  of  the  Group’s 
activities  will  require,  at  site  closure,  decommissioning  followed  by 
environmental remediation after operations are discontinued. Costs 
related to such activities may materially exceed the Group’s provisions 
and  adversely  impact  its  operating  incomes.  With  regard  to  the 
definitive  shutdown  of  activities, 
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  12  to  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  point 
8.7  of  chapter  8).  Future  expenditures  related  to  asset  retirement 
obligations  are  accounted  for  in  accordance  with  the  accounting 
principles described in the same Note. 

Laws  and  regulations  related  to  climate  change  as  well  as 
growing  concern  of  stakeholders  may  adversely  affect  the 
Group’s business and financial condition. 

Firstly, there is a risk incurred by rapidly changing modes of energy 
production  in  favor  of  a  lower- carbon  energy  mix  that  allows  for  a 
more  limited  share  of  fossil  fuel.  This  could  impact  the  Group’s 
business model, profitability, financial situation and shareholder value. 

The growing concern of certain stakeholders with regards to climate 
change  could  also  have  an  impact  on  certain  external  financing  of 
the Group’s projects or influence certain investors involved in the oil 
and gas sector. 

Moreover, regulations may change and require the Group to reduce, 
change  or  cease  certain  operations,  and  subject  it  to  additional 
obligations with regards to the compliance of its facilities. This could 
have  a  negative  effect  on  its  activities  and  its  financial  situation, 
including operating income and cash flow. 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 projects, as well as the economic value of certain of 
the  Group’s  assets.  In  Europe,  for  example,  the  Group’s  industrial 
facilities are part of the CO2  emissions quotas market (EU- ETS), and 
the financial risk incurred by purchasing these quotas on the market 
could increase due to the reform of the system that was approved in 
2018. This emission quotas market is in its third phase. The Group 
estimates that about 25% of emissions subjected to EU- ETS are not 
covered  by  free  quotas  in  the  period  2013- 2020  (phase  3)  and  to 
30% or more from 2021 to 2030 (phase 4). At the end of 2018, the 
price of these quotas was about €20/t, and the Group expects this 
price to be higher than €30/t in phase 4. 

Internal  studies  conducted  by  TOTAL  have  shown  that  a 
long- term  CO2  price  of  $40/t (1)  applied  worldwide  would  have  a 
negative  impact  of  around  5%  on  the  discounted  present  value  of 
the  Group’s  assets  (upstream  and  downstream).  In  addition,  the 
average  lifespan  of  the  Group’s  proved  and  probable  reserves  is 
approximately 20 years, while the discounted present value of those 
reserves  beyond  the  20  years  represents  less  than  10%  of  the 
discounted present value of the Group’s upstream assets.

Finally,  the  Company  and  several  of  its  subsidiaries  have  received 
claims issued by public entities in certain countries in view of financing 
the  protective  measures  to  be  implemented  in  order  to  limit  the 
consequences of climate change. The Group is subject to the risk of 
judicial actions in this area. 

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

TOTAL’s businesses operate in various regions, where the potential 
physical  impacts  of  climate  change,  including  changes  in  weather 
patterns, are highly uncertain and may adversely impact the Group’s 
operating income. 

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 the risk management and prevention plans. 

The  Group  believes  that  it  is  impossible  to  guarantee  that  the 
contingencies  or  liabilities  related  to  the  matters  mentioned  in  this 
point 3.1.2 would not have a material adverse impact on its business, 
financial  condition,  including  its  operating  income  and  cash  flow, 
reputation, prospects or shareholder value, if such risks were to occur. 

3.1.3  Risks related to critical IT systems security 

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

The Group’s activities depend heavily on the reliability and security of 
its  information  technology  (IT)  systems.  The  Group’s  IT  systems, 
some of which are managed by third parties, are susceptible to being 
compromised,  damaged,  disrupted  or  shutdown  due  to  failures 
during the process of upgrading or replacing software, databases or 
components,  power  or  network  outages,  hardware 
failures, 
cyber- attacks  (viruses,  computer  intrusions),  user  errors  or  natural 
disasters.  The  cyber  threat  is  constantly  evolving.  Attacks  are 
becoming  more  sophisticated  with  regularly  renewed  techniques 
while  the  digital  transformation  amplifies  exposure  to  these  cyber 
threats.  The  adoption  of  new  technologies,  such  as  the  Internet  of 
things (IoT) or the migration to the cloud, as well as the evolution of 
architectures  for  increasingly  interconnected  systems,  are  all  areas 
where  cyber  security  is  a  very  important  issue.  The  Group  and  its 

service  providers  may  not  be  able  to  prevent  third  parties  from 
breaking into the Group’s IT systems, disrupting business operations 
or communications infrastructure through denial- of- service attacks, 
or gaining access to confidential or sensitive information held in the 
system. The Group, like many companies, has been and expects to 
continue to be the target of attempted cybersecurity attacks. While 
the  Group  has  not  experienced  any  such  attack  that  has  had  a 
material impact on its business, the Group cannot guarantee that its 
security measures will be sufficient to prevent a material disruption, 
breach or compromise in the future. 

As  a  result,  the  Group’s  activities  and  assets  could  sustain  serious 
damage, services to clients could be interrupted, material intellectual 
property  could  be  divulged  and,  in  some  cases,  personal  injury, 
property damage, environmental harm and regulatory violations could 
occur,  potentially  having  a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  Group’s 
financial condition, including its operating income and cash flow.

3.1.4  Risks related to the development of major projects and reserves 

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 may 
face a number of difficulties, including, in particular, those related to: 

—  economic or political risks, including threats specific to a certain 
country  or  region,  such  as  terrorism,  social  unrest  or  other 
conflicts (refer to point 3.1.6 of this chapter); 

—  negotiations  with  partners,  governments,  local  communities, 

suppliers, customers and other third parties; 

—  obtaining project financing; 

—  controlling capital and operating costs; 

—  earning  an  adequate  return  in  a  low  oil  and/or  gas  price 

environment; 

—  respecting project schedules; and 

—  the timely issuance or renewal of permits and licenses by public 

agencies. 

Poor  delivery  of  any  major  project  that  underpins  production  or 
production  growth  could  adversely  affect  the  Group’s  financial 
condition, including its operating income and cash flow. 

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  financial 
condition, including its operating income and cash flow, could 
be materially 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  & 
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  Exploration  &  Production 
activities to continue to be profitable, the Group needs to replace its 
reserves  with  new  proved  reserves  (likely  to  be  developed  and 
produced in an economically viable manner). 

In  addition,  a  number  of  factors  may  undermine  TOTAL’s  ability  to 
discover,  acquire  and  develop  new  reserves,  which  are  inherently 
uncertain, including: 

—  the  geological  nature  of  oil  and  gas  fields,  notably  unexpected 
including  pressure  or  unexpected 

drilling  conditions, 
heterogeneities in geological formations; 

—  the  risk  of  dry  holes  or  failure  to  find  expected  commercial 

quantities of hydrocarbons;

RISKS AND CONTRO

L 

Risk Factors 

—  equipment failures, fires, blow- outs or accidents; 

—  shortages  or  delays  in  the  availability  or  delivery  of  appropriate 

equipment; 

—  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; 

—  the inability of the Group’s partners to execute or finance projects 
in which the Group holds an interest or to meet their contractual 
obligations; 

—  the inability of service companies to deliver contracted services 

on time and on budget; 

—  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; 

—  economic or political risks, including threats specific to a certain 
country  or  region,  such  as  terrorism,  social  unrest  or  other 
conflicts (refer to point 3.1.6 of this chapter); 

—  competition from oil and gas companies for the acquisition and 
development of assets and licenses (refer to point 3.1.7 of this 
chapter); 

—  increased  taxes  and  royalties,  including  retroactive  claims  and 

changes in regulations and tax reassessments; and 

—  disputes related to property titles. 

These  factors  could  lead  to  cost  overruns  and/or  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 and in sufficient 
quantities,  the  Group’s  financial  condition,  including  its  operating 
income and cash flow, could be materially affected. 

The  Group’s  oil  and  gas  reserves  data  are  estimates  only 
and subsequent upward or downward adjustments are possible. 
If actual production from such reserves proves to be lower than 
current  estimates  indicate,  the  Group’s  financial  condition, 
including its operating income and cash flow, could be impacted. 

reasonable  certainty 

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 
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 
trained 
geoscientists  and  petroleum,  gas  and  project  engineers,  who 
rigorously  review  and  analyze  in  detail  all  available  geoscience  and 
engineering  data  (for  example,  seismic  data,  electrical  logs,  cores, 
fluids, pressures, flow rates and 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. 

teams  of  qualified,  experienced  and 

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. Such factors include: 

—  a prolonged period of low prices of oil or gas, making reserves 
no  longer  economically  viable  to  exploit  and  therefore  not 
classifiable as proved; 

—  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 regulations that make reserves no 
longer  economically  viable  to  exploit,  or  disputes  related  to 
property titles; 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  could  indicate  lower  future 
production  amounts,  which  could  adversely  affect  the  Group’s 
financial condition, including its operating income and cash flow. 

3.1.5  Risks related to equity afliates and management of assets operated by 

third parties 

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 are conducted by equity 
affiliates (1)  or operated by third parties. 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. 

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 or third parties in the 
event of an incident. 

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. 

(1)  For additional information, refer to Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements (point 8.7 of chapter 8).

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. Contracts may also contain 
obligations to indemnify TOTAL or for TOTAL to indemnify partners 
or third parties. 

3.1.6  Risks related to political or economic factors 

TOTAL  has  significant  production  and  reserves  located  in 
politically, economically and socially unstable areas, where the 
risk  that  the  Group’s  operations  may  be  materially  affected  is 
relatively high. 

A significant portion of TOTAL’s oil and gas production and reserves 
is  located  in  countries  that  are  not  part  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  or  political  instability,  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  (excluding  North  Africa),  which  represented  24%  of  the 
Group’s  2018  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 
the  Group’s  production  of 
to 
hydrocarbons (refer to point 2.1.9 of chapter 2). 

The Middle East and North Africa zone, which represented 24% of 
the Group’s 2018 combined liquids and gas production, has in recent 
years suffered increased political instability in connection with violent 
conflict and social unrest, particularly in Libya and Syria, where the 
European Union (EU) and the U.S. have enacted economic sanctions 
prohibiting TOTAL from producing oil and gas since 2011. In Yemen, 
the deterioration of security conditions in the vicinity of the Balhaf site 
caused 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  2015. 
The plant has been put in preservation mode. In Iran, TOTAL signed 
in July 2017 a 20- year contract with the National Iranian Oil Company 
(NIOC)  relating  to  the  development  and  production  of  phase  11 
(SP11) of the giant South Pars gas field. Following the withdrawal of 
the United States from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on 
May  8,  2018,  TOTAL  withdrew  from  this  project  and  finalized  its 
withdrawal  on  October  29,  2018,  prior  to  the  re- imposition  of  US 
secondary  sanctions  on  the  oil  industry  as  of  November  5,  2018. 
TOTAL  was  the  operator  and  had  a  50.1%  interest  alongside  the 
Chinese state- owned company CNPC (30%) and Petropars (19.9%); 
a  wholly- owned  subsidiary  of  NIOC.  TOTAL  ceased  all  operational 
activity in Iran before November 4, 2018. 

In  South  America,  which  represented  6%  of  the  Group’s  2018 
combined  liquids  and  gas  production,  certain  of  the  countries  in 
which TOTAL has production have recently suffered from political or 
economic instability, including Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela. 

Since  July  2014,  international  economic  sanctions  have  been 
adopted  against  certain  Russian  individuals  and  entities,  including 
various entities operating in the financial, energy and defense sectors. 
As of December 31, 2018, TOTAL held 21% of its proved reserves in 
Russia, from which the Group had 14% of its combined oil and gas 
production in 2018.

information  concerning 

Furthermore,  in  addition  to  current  production,  TOTAL  is  also 
exploring  for  and  developing,  or  is  participating  in  the  exploration 
and/or development of, new reserves in other regions of the world 
that  are  historically  characterized  by  political,  social  or  economic 
instability. 

The  occurrence  and  magnitude  of  incidents  related  to  economic, 
social or 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  negative 
consequences on the Group. 

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

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

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 in which 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. TOTAL expects this trend to continue. 

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

—  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 and 

changes in regulations and tax reassessments; 

—  the renegotiation of contracts; 

—  the imposition of increased local content requirements; 

—  payment delays; and 

—  currency exchange restrictions or currency devaluation.

3  RISKS AND CONTROL 

Risk Factors 

If  a  host  government  were  to  intervene  in  one  of  these  forms  in  a 
including 
country  where  TOTAL  has  substantial  operations, 
exploration,  the  Group  could  incur  material  costs  or  the  Group’s 
production  or  asset  value  could  decrease,  which  could  potentially 
have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, including its 
operating income and cash flow. 

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 affect financial returns from projects in that country. 

3.1.7  Risks related to competition and lack of innovation 

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  (companies 
directly  or  indirectly  controlled  by  a  state)  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. 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 hydrocarbon 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. 

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. 

In  the  field  of  R&D,  the  multiplication  of  research  partnerships,  in 
particular in related technical fields, may make it difficult for the Group 
to track technical information exchanged with research partners and 
monitor  related  contractual  restrictions  (e.g.,  confidentiality,  limited 
use). New and increasingly complex digital technologies as well as 
the  multiplication  of  partnerships  are  all 
increase 
contamination risks, which could, as a result, limit TOTAL’s ability to 
exploit innovations.

to 

3.1.8  Ethical misconduct and non- compliance risks 

Ethical  misconduct  or  non- compliance  of  the  Group  or  its 
employees with applicable laws 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 ethical standards, business integrity, 
human  rights  and  compliance  with  applicable  legal  requirements. 
TOTAL  maintains  a  “zero  tolerance”  principle  for  fraud  of  any  kind, 
particularly 
peddling. 
Non- compliance with laws and regulations as well as ethical or human 
rights  misconduct  by  TOTAL,  its  employees  or  a  third- party  acting 
on  its  behalf  could  expose  TOTAL  and/or  its  employees  to 
investigations, criminal and civil sanctions and to additional penalties 
(such  as  debarment  from  public  procurement).  Further  measures 

corruption 

influence 

bribery, 

and 

could, depending on applicable legislation (notably, the U.S. Foreign 
Corrupt  Practices  Act,  the  UK  Bribery  Act,  the  French  law 
n° 2016- 1691 dated December 9, 2016 relating to transparency, the 
fight  against  corruption  and  modernization  of  the  economy  or  the 
Regulation (EU) 2016/679 with regard to the protection of personal 
data), be imposed by competent authorities, such as the review and 
reinforcement  of  the  compliance  program  under  the  supervision  of 
an independent third party. Any of the above could be damaging to 
the financial condition, shareholder value or reputation of the Group. 

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’s  financial  condition  and 
reputation (refer to point 3.2 of this chapter). 

3.1.9  Countries targeted by economic sanctions 

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 
face penalties. 

Economic  sanctions  or  other  restrictive  measures  could  target 
countries,  such  as  Cuba,  Iran,  and  Syria  and/or  target  actors  or 
economic sectors, such as in Russia or in Venezuela. 

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 in points 3.1.9.1 and 3.1.9.2, 
respectively. 

3.1.9.1  U.S. and European legal restrictions 

TOTAL closely monitors applicable international economic sanctions 
regimes,  including  those  adopted  by  the  United  States  and  the 
European Union (“EU”) (collectively, “Sanctions Regimes”), changes 
to  such  regimes  and  possible  impacts  on  the  Group’s  activities. 
TOTAL takes steps to ensure compliance with applicable Sanctions 
Regimes and believes that its current activities in targeted countries 
do  not  infringe  the  applicable  Sanctions  Regimes.  However,  the 
Group  cannot  assure  that  current  or  future  regulations  related  to 
Sanctions Regimes will not have a negative impact on its business, 
financial condition or reputation. A violation by the Group of applicable 
Sanctions  Regimes  could  result  in  criminal,  civil  and/or  material 
financial penalties.

RISKS AND CONTROL 

Risk Factors  3 

3 

A) Restrictions against Cuba 

U.S.  sanctions  against  Cuba  prohibit  any  person  subject  to  the 
jurisdiction of the United States (1) from engaging, directly or indirectly, 
in  any  activities  or  dealings  related  to  Cuba,  without  government 
authorization.  Therefore,  the  use  of  the  U.S.  dollar  is  prohibited  for 
almost all transactions related to Cuba. Furthermore, it is prohibited 
to  export  and  reexport  to  Cuba  all  goods  subject  to  the  Export 
Administration  Regulations (2)  without  a  license  and  with  exceptions 
(for  example,  certain  medical  equipment),  as  well  as  to  import  all 
goods of Cuban origin into the United States. Cuba is not subject to 
European economic sanctions. 

TOTAL has had an interest in a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder 
filing plant in Cuba since 1997 and continues the development of its 
activities regarding lubricants, fluids and greases in Cuba. 

B) Restrictions against Iran 

Several countries and international organizations, including the United 
States and the EU, maintain Sanctions Regimes of varying degrees 
targeting Iran. 

On  July  14,  2015,  the  EU,  China,  France,  Russia,  the  United 
Kingdom,  the  United  States  and  Germany  reached  an  agreement 
with  Iran,  known  as  the  Joint  Comprehensive  Plan  of  Action  (the 
“JCPOA”), regarding limits on Iran’s nuclear activities and relief under 
certain  U.S.,  EU  and  UN  economic  sanctions  regarding  Iran.  
On  January  16,  2016,  the  International  Atomic  Energy  Agency 
(“IAEA”)  confirmed  that  Iran  had  met  its  initial  nuclear  compliance 
commitments  under  the  JCPOA.  Therefore,  as  from  that  date,  UN 
economic  sanctions,  most  U.S.  secondary  sanctions  (i.e.,  those 
covering  non- U.S.  persons (3)  and  for  activities  outside  U.S. 
jurisdiction) and most EU economic sanctions were suspended (4). 

Following  the  withdrawal  of  the  United  States  from  the  JCPOA  in 
May  2018,  U.S.  secondary  sanctions  concerning  the  oil  industry 
were re- imposed as of November 5, 2018. 

In July 2017, TOTAL signed a contract for a period of 20 years with 
the National Iranian Oil Company (“NIOC”) relating to the development 
and  production  of  phase  11  (SP11) (5)  of  the  giant  South  Pars  gas
field. Following the withdrawal of the United States from the JCPOA, 
TOTAL  withdrew  from  this  project  and  finalized  its  withdrawal  on
October  29,  2018,  prior  to  the  re- imposition  of  U.S.  secondary
sanctions on the oil industry as of November 5, 2018. TOTAL ceased 
all operational activity in Iran before November 4, 2018. 

Furthermore,  certain  U.S.  states  have  adopted  regulations  with 
respect  to  Iran  requiring,  in  certain  conditions,  state  pension  funds 
and  other  state- owned  institutional  investors  to  divest  securities  in 
any company that has or had business operations in Iran and state 
public contracts not to be awarded to such companies. Certain U.S. 
state regulators have adopted similar initiatives relating to investments 
by  insurance  companies.  TOTAL  believes  the  impact  of  these 
regulations  to  be  limited  due  to  the  Group’s  decision  to  withdraw 
from  Iran.  Nevertheless,  TOTAL  continues  to  closely  monitor  these 
measures, which are generally still in effect following the withdrawal 
of the United States from the JCPOA. 

With respect to the Group’s activities conducted under the sanctions 
framework  that  was  in  place  prior  to  the  entry  into  force  of  the 
JCPOA,  the  U.S.  Department  of  State  made  a  determination  on 
September  30,  2010  that  certain  historical  activities  would  not  be 
deemed  sanctionable  and  that,  so  long  as  TOTAL  acted  in 
accordance  with  its  commitments  related  to  this  determination,  it 
would  not  be  regarded  as  a  company  of  concern  for  its  past 
Iran- related  activities.  TOTAL’s  historical  activities  in  Iran  have  been 
conducted in compliance with these Sanctions Regimes. Since 2011, 
TOTAL has had no production in Iran. 

Refer to point 3.1.9.2 below for information concerning Section 13(r) 
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, pertaining to 
activities of the Group related to Iran. 

C) Restrictions against Russia 

Since  July  2014,  various  Sanctions  Regimes  have  been  adopted 
against  Russia,  including  prohibitions  to  deal  with  certain  Russian 
individuals  and  entities  or  restrictions  on  financings,  as  well  as 
restrictions on investments and exports to Russia. 

The  economic  sanctions  adopted  by  the  EU  since  2014  do  not 
materially affect TOTAL’s activities in Russia. TOTAL has been formally 
authorized  by  the  French  government,  which  is  the  competent 
authority for granting authorization under the EU sanctions regime, 
to  continue  all  its  activities  in  Russia  on  the  Kharyaga  and 
Termokarstovoye  fields  and  the  Yamal  LNG  and  the  Arctic  2  LNG 
projects. 

The  United  States  adopted  various  economic  sanctions,  some  of 
which  target  PAO  Novatek (6)  (“Novatek”),  and  the  entities  in  which 
Novatek  (individually  or  with  other  similarly  targeted  persons  or 
entities) owns an interest of at least 50%, including OAO Yamal LNG (7) 
(“Yamal  LNG”),Terneftegas (8)  and  OOO  Arctic  2  LNG (9).  These 
sanctions prohibit, in particular, U.S. persons from all transactions in, 
providing  financing  for,  and  other  dealings  in  debt  issued  by  these 
entities after July 16, 2014 of longer than 90 days maturity (reduced 
to 60 days as from the end of November 2017). The use of the U.S. 
dollar is therefore prohibited for these types of financings, including 
Yamal  LNG.  The  Yamal  LNG  project’s  financing  was  finalized  in 
successive steps in 2016 in compliance with applicable regulations. 
The financing of the Arctic LNG 2 project is under discussion. 

In  addition,  the  U.S.  Department  of  Commerce  has  imposed 
restrictions  on  exports  and  reexports  of  certain  goods  to  Russia 
under the regulation related to the U.S. export control with respect to 
certain oil projects, which do not materially impact TOTAL’s current 
activities in Russia. 

In August 2017, the United States adopted the Countering America’s 
Adversaries  Through  Sanctions  Act  (“CAATSA”).  This  law  provides 
for, in particular, the possibility to impose secondary sanctions against 
a non- U.S. person who (i) invests in certain types of crude oil projects; 
(ii)  carries  out  a  significant  transaction  with  a  sanctioned  Russian 
individual  or  entity;  (iii)  carries  out  a  significant  transaction  with  an 
individual/entity  party  to  or  acting  on  behalf  of  Russian  economic 
intelligence or defense sectors; (iv) carries out a direct and significant 
investment  (beyond  certain  amounts),  which  contributes  to  the 
development  of  Russian  export  pipelines  or  (v)  sells,  leases  or 
provides  goods,  services,  technologies  or  information  that  could 
directly  and  in  a  significant  manner  facilitate  the  maintenance  or 
expansion  of  the  construction,  modernization  or  repair  of  energy 
export pipelines by Russia. This law also, on the one hand, reduced 
the maturity periods of debts restricting the financing of certain entities 
and,  on  the  other  hand,  extended,  as  from  January  29,  2018,  the 
prohibition applicable to certain entities to export goods and services 
outside of Russia in support of exploration or production projects of 
oil  in  deep  water,  beyond  the  Arctic  offshore,  or  concerning  shale 
formations (shale oil). 

On  April  6,  2018,  the  American  Department  of  Treasury’s  Office  of 
Foreign  Assets  Control  (OFAC)  for  the  first  time  designated  and 
registered certain Russian oligarchs and political figures, as well as 
several entities owned by them, on the list of Specially Designated 
Nationals and Blocked Persons List. Non- U.S. persons may now be 
sanctioned  under  secondary  sanctions  for  having  carried  out 
significant transactions with the designated persons. 

TOTAL continues its activities in Russia in compliance with applicable 
sanctions regimes. 

(1)  Cuban Assets Control Regulations (CACR), 31 CFR Part. 515. 
(2)  Export Administration Regulations (EAR) § 734.3. 
(3)  ”U.S. person” means any U.S. citizen and permanent resident alien wherever he/she is in the world, entity organized under the laws of the United States or any jurisdiction within the 

United States, including foreign branches, or any person or entity located in the United States. 

(4)  Certain U.S. and EU human rights- related and terrorism- related sanctions remain in force. 
(5)  TOTAL was an operator of the SP11 project and held 50.1% alongside the national Chinese company China National Petroleum Corporation (“CNPC”) (30%) and Petropars (19.9%), a

Fund. 

(8)  A company jointly owned by PAO Novatek and Total Termokarstovoye BV (49%). 
(9)  A company wholly- owned owned by PAO Novatek as of December 31, 2018.

RISKS AND CONTROL 

Risk Factors 

As of December 31, 2018, TOTAL held 21% of its proved reserves in 
Russia,  where  the  Group  had  14%  of  its  combined  oil  and  gas 
production in 2018. 

D) Restrictions against Syria 

The  EU  adopted  measures  in  2011  regarding  trade  with  and 
investment in Syria that are applicable to European persons and to 
entities constituted under the laws of an EU Member State, including, 
notably, a prohibition on the purchase, import or transportation from 
Syria  of  crude  oil  and  petroleum  products.  The  United  States  also 
has  adopted  comprehensive  measures  that  broadly  prohibit  trade 
and investment in and with Syria. Since 2011, the Group ceased its 
activities that contributed to oil and gas production in Syria and has 
not purchased hydrocarbons from Syria since that time (refer to point 
3.1.9.2). 

E) Restrictions against Venezuela 

Since  2014,  different  Sanctions  Regimes  were  adopted  relating  to 
Venezuela,  including  prohibitions  to  deal  with  certain  Venezuelan 
individuals and entities, as well as restrictions on financings. 

In  August  2017,  the  United  States  adopted  economic  sanctions 
relating  to  the  Government  of  Venezuela  as  well  as  certain 
state- owned  or  controlled  entities  (collectively,  the  “Government  of 
Venezuela”),  including  Petroleos  de  Venezuela,  S.A.  (“PdVSA”)  as 
well  as  entities  in  which  PdVSA  (individually  or  with  other  similarly 
targeted persons or entities collectively) owns an interest of at least 
50%  (which  includes  Petrocedeño  S.A.,  a  company  in  which  the 
Group held an interest of 30.32% as of December 31, 2018). These 
sanctions  prohibit  all  U.S.  persons (1)  from  transacting  in,  providing 
financing for or otherwise dealing in debt issued by PdVSA as from 
August 25, 2017 of longer than 90 days maturity. The use of the U.S. 
dollar is therefore prohibited for these types of financings, including 
with Petrocedeño S.A. 

Since  November  13,  2017,  Venezuela  has  also  been  subject  to 
European sanctions, which mainly provide for the freezing of assets 
of  certain  individuals  and  entities,  a  military  embargo  as  well  as 
restrictions on the exportation of certain goods. 

In May 2018, the United States adopted a new round of sanctions 
against  the  Government  of  Venezuela,  prohibiting  all  U.S.  persons 
from transacting in (i) the purchase of debts owed to the Government 
of Venezuelan and (ii) the sale, transfer, assignment, or pledging as 
collateral by the Government of Venezuelan of any equity interest in 
any  entity  in  which  the  Government  of  Venezuela  has  a  50%  or 
greater ownership interest. 

On January 28, 2019, pursuant to Executive Order 13850, American 
Department  of  Treasury’s  Office  of  Foreign  Assets  Control  (OFAC) 
designated and registered PdVSA on the list of Specially Designated 
Nationals and Blocked Persons List, as well as any entities in which 
PdVSA owns an interest of at least 50%, including Petrocedeño S.A. 

To date, TOTAL has organised the management of its interest to ensure 
compliance with applicable sanctions. 

3.1.9.2 

Information concerning certain limited 
activities in Iran and Syria 

Information  concerning  TOTAL’s  activities  related  to  Iran  that  took 
place  in  2018  provided  in  this  section  is  disclosed  according  to 
Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended 
(“U.S. Exchange Act”). 

In addition, information for 2018 is provided concerning the payments 
made by Group affiliates to, or additional cash flow that operations of 
Group affiliates generate for, the government of any country identified 
by the United States as a state sponsor of terrorism (currently, Iran, 
North  Korea,  Syria  and  Sudan) (2)  or  any  entity  controlled  by  those 
governments. 

TOTAL believes that these activities are not sanctionable, including 
for  activities  previously  disclosed.  For  more  information  on  certain 
U.S.  and  EU  restrictions  relevant  to  TOTAL  in  these  jurisdictions, 
refer to point 3.1.9.1 of this chapter. 

A) Iran 

The  Group’s  operational  activities  related  to  Iran  were  stopped  in 
2018 following the withdrawal of the United States from the JCPOA 
in  May  2018  and  prior  to  the  re- imposition  of  U.S.  secondary 
sanctions on the oil industry as of November 5, 2018. 

Statements in this section concerning affiliates intending or expecting 
to continue activities described below are subject to such activities 
continuing to be permissible under applicable international economic 
sanctions regimes. 

a) Exploration & Production 
Following the suspension of certain international economic sanctions 
against  Iran  on  January  16,  2016,  the  Group  commenced  various 
business development activities in Iran. Total E&P South Pars S.A.S. 
(“TEPSP”)  (a  wholly- owned  affiliate),  CNPC  International  Ltd. 
(“CNPCI”)  (a  wholly- owned  affiliate  of  China  National  Petroleum 
Company) and Petropars Ltd. (“Petropars”) (a wholly- owned affiliate 
of NIOC) signed a 20- year risked service contract in July 2017, (the 
“Risked  Service  Contract”)  for  the  development  and  production  of 
phase 11 of the South Pars gas field (“SP11”).TEPSP (50.1%) was 
the  operator  and  a  partner  of  the  project  alongside  CNPCI  (30%) 
and  Petropars  (19.9%).  These  companies  entered  into  a  joint 
operating  agreement  in  July  2017  (the  “JOA”)  concerning,  among 
other  things,  the  governance  of  their  obligations  under  the  Risked 
Service  Contract  and  the  designation  of  TEPSP  as  the  project’s 
operator. 

In  2018,  TEPSP  continued  conducting  petroleum  operations  on 
behalf  of  the  above- mentioned  consortium  in  accordance  with  the 
terms and conditions of the Risked Service Contract and the JOA. In 
particular, TEPSP: (i) held several meetings with the Iranian authorities, 
NIOC and other Iranian state owned/controlled entities; (ii) launched 
tenders for award of service contracts for the purposes of the SP11 
project;  (iii)  negotiated  various  agreements  (such  as  service  and/or 
supply agreements and bank service agreements); and (iv) performed 
other activities under the Risked Service Contract and the JOA. 

In 2018, TEPSP completed the technical studies, which were started 
in  November  2016,  in  accordance  with  the  technical  services 
agreement (the “TSA”) between NIOC and TEPSP, acting on behalf 
of the consortium. 

(1)  “U.S. person” means any U.S. citizen and permanent resident alien wherever he/she is in the world, entity organized under the laws of the United States or any jurisdiction within the 

United States, including foreign branches, or any person or entity located in the United States. 

(2)  In North Korea, other than fees related to trademarks and designs paid in 2018, TOTAL is not present. In this country. In Sudan, other than the payment of fees related to trademarks, the 

Group is not aware of any of its activities in 2018 having resulted in payments to, or additional cash flow for, the government of that country.

However, as a result of the withdrawal of the U.S. from the JCPOA in 
May  2018,  TOTAL  ceased  all  of  its  activities  related  to  the  SP11 
project and finalized its withdrawal from the SP11 project on October 
29,  2018,  at  which  time  it  transferred  its  participating  interest  and 
operatorship of the project to CNPCI. 

The MOU entered into between TOTAL and NIOC in January 2016 
to assess potential developments in Iran (including South Azadegan) 
was amended to include North Azadegan and to extend its duration. 
NIOC provided TOTAL in 2017 with technical data on the Azadegan 
oil  field  so  that  it  could  assess  potential  development  of  this  field. 
Representatives  of  TOTAL  held  technical  meetings  in  2017  with 
representatives of NIOC and its affiliated companies and carried out 
a technical review of the Azadegan (South & North) oil field as well as 
the  Iran  LNG  Project  (a  project  contemplating  a  10  Mt/y  LNG 
production facility at Tombak Port on Iran’s Persian Gulf coast), the 
results of which were partially disclosed to NIOC and relevant affiliated 
companies.  In  addition,  TOTAL  signed  an  MOU  in  2017  with  an 
international  company  to  evaluate  jointly  the  Azadegan  oil  field 
opportunity  with  NIOC.  This  international  company  decided  in 
February  2018  to  withdraw  from  this  technical  cooperation  and  a 
MOU termination agreement was formally executed with TOTAL on 
May 16, 2018. Technical studies were pursued by TOTAL until March 
2018  on  the  Azadegan  area  with  regular  contacts  with  NIOC. 
All work and contacts with NIOC on this subject ceased at the end 
of March 2018. 

During 2018, in connection with the activities under the aforementioned 
Risked  Service  Contract  and  MOUs,  and  to  discuss  other  new 
opportunities, representatives of TOTAL attended meetings with the 
Iranian oil and gas ministry and several Iranian companies with ties to 
the government of Iran. In connection with travel to Iran in 2018 by 
certain employees of the Group, TOTAL made payments to Iranian 
authorities for visas, airport services, exit fees and similar travel- related 
charges.  In  addition,  representatives  of  TOTAL  had  meetings  in 
France with the Iranian ambassador. 

Neither  revenues  nor  profits  were  recognized  from  any  of  the 
aforementioned  activities  under  the  aforementioned  Risked  Service 
Contract and MOUs in 2018. 

Maersk  Oil  studied  two  potential  projects  with  NIOC,  prior  to  the 
acquisition  of  Maersk  Oil  by  TOTAL  in  March  2018.  These  studies 
ceased after a meeting with NIOC representatives in May 2018. 

The Tehran branch office of TEPSP, opened in 2017 for the purposes 
of  the  SP11  project,  ceased  all  operational  activities  prior  to 
November  1,  2018  and  will  be  closed  and  de- registered  in  2019. 
Since November 2018, Total Iran BV maintains a local representative 
office  in  Tehran  with  a  few  employees,  solely  for  non- operational 
functions. Concerning payments to Iranian entities in 2018, Total Iran 
Iran  collectively  made  payments  of 
BV  and  Elf  Petroleum 
approximately  IRR  31.7  billion  (approximately  $300,000 (1))  to  the 
Iranian  administration  for  taxes  and  social  security  contributions 
concerning the personnel of the aforementioned representative office 
and  residual  obligations  related  to  various  prior  risked  service 
contracts.  In  2019,  similar  types  of  payments  are  to  be  made  in 
connection with maintaining the representative office in Tehran, albeit 
in lower amounts. None of these payments has been or is expected 
to be executed in U.S. dollars. 

Furthermore,  Total  E&P  UK  Limited  (“TEP  UK”),  a  wholly- owned 
affiliate, holds a 1% interest in a joint venture for the Bruce field in the 
United  Kingdom  with  Serica  Energy  (UK)  Limited  (“Serica”)  (98%, 
operator)  and  BP  Exploration  Operating  Company  Limited  (“BP”) 
(1%),  following  the  completion  of  the  sale  of  42.25%  of  TEP  UK’s 
interests in the Bruce field on November 30, 2018 pursuant to a sale 
and  purchase  agreement  dated  August  2,  2018  between  TEP  UK 
and  Serica.  Upon  the  closing  of  the  transaction  on  November  30, 
2018, all other prior joint venture partners also sold their interests in 
the Bruce field to Serica (BP sold 36% retaining a 1% interest; BHP 
Billiton  Petroleum  Great  Britain  Limited  (“BHP”)  sold  their  full  16% 

interest  and  Marubeni  Oil  &  Gas  (U.K.)  Limited  ((“Marubeni”)  sold 
their full 3.75%). 

The  Bruce  field  joint  venture  is  party  to  an  agreement  (the  “Bruce 
Rhum Agreement”) governing certain transportation, processing and 
operation  services  provided  to  another  joint  venture  at  the  Rhum 
field in the UK, co- owned by Serica (50%, operator) and the Iranian 
Oil Company UK Ltd (“IOC”), a subsidiary of NIOC (50%). Under the 
terms of the Bruce Rhum Agreement, the Rhum field owners pay a 
proportion of the operating costs of the Bruce field facilities calculated 
on a gas throughput basis. IOC’s share of costs incurred under the 
Bruce  Rhum  Agreement  have  been  paid  to  TEP  UK  in  2018  by 
Naftiran Intertrade Company Limited (“NICO”), the trading branch of 
the  National  Iranian  Oil  Company  (“NIOC”).  NIOC  is  the  parent 
company  of  IOC  and  an  Iranian  government  owned  corporation. 
In  2018,  based  upon  TEP  UK’s  1%  interest  in  the  Bruce  field  and 
income  from  the  net  cash  flow  sharing  arrangement  with  Serica, 
gross revenue to TEP UK from IOC’s share of the Rhum field resulting 
from the Bruce Rhum Agreement was approximately £8 million. This 
sum  was  used  to  offset  operating  costs  on  the  Bruce  field  and  as 
such,  generated  no  net  profit  to  TEP  UK.  This  arrangement  is 
expected to continue in 2019. 

In 2018, TEP UK acted as agent for BHP and Marubeni, which faced 
difficulty  securing  banking  arrangements  allowing  them  to  accept 
payments  from  IOC,  and,  thus,  received  payments  from  IOC  in 
relation  to  BHP  and  Marubeni’s  share  of  income  from  the  Bruce 
Rhum Agreement under the terms of an agency agreement entered 
into in June 2018 between BHP, Marubeni and TEP UK (the “Agency 
Agreement”).  Payments  made  from  IOC  to  BHP  and  Marubeni  in 
2018 related to the periods prior to the completion of their divestment 
to  Serica  in  November  2018.  Total  payment  received  on  behalf  of 
BHP and Marubeni by TEP UK under this arrangement in 2018 was 
approximately £7 million. This amount relates to income due to BHP 
and Marubeni under the Bruce Rhum Agreement for 2017 and 2018. 
TEP UK transferred all income received under the Agency Agreement 
to  BHP  and  Marubeni  and  provided  the  service  on  a  no  profit,  no 
loss  basis.  The  Agency  Agreement  is  expected  to  be  terminated 
upon receipt of all payments relating to the period up to November 
30, 2018. 

Prior  to  the  re- imposition  of  U.S.  secondary  sanctions  on  the  oil 
industry as of November 5, 2018, TEP UK liaised directly with IOC 
concerning its interest in the Bruce Rhum Agreement and it received 
payments directly for services provided to IOC under the Bruce Rhum 
Agreement. In October 2018, the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office 
of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) granted a new conditional license 
to BP and Serica authorizing the provision of services to the Rhum 
field,  following  the  reinstatement  of  U.S.  secondary  sanctions.  The 
principal  condition  of  the  OFAC  license  is  that  the  Iranian 
government’s shareholding in IOC is transferred into a trust in order 
that Iran may not derive any benefit from the Rhum field or exercise 
any control while the U.S. secondary sanctions are in place. A Jersey 
based  trust  has  been  put  in  place  with  the  trustee  holding  IOC’s 
shares in the Rhum field. IOC’s interest is now managed by a new 
independent  management  company  established  by  the  trust  and 
referred to as the “Rhum Management Company” (“RMC”) and where 
necessary TEP UK liaises, and expects to continue doing so in 2019, 
with RMC in relation to the Bruce Rhum Agreement. 

TEP UK is also party to an agreement with Serica whereby TEP UK 
uses  reasonable  endeavors  to  evacuate  Rhum  NGL  from  the  St 
Fergus Terminal (the “Rhum NGL Agreement”). TEP UK provides this 
service – subject to Serica having title to all of the Rhum NGL to be 
evacuated  and  Serica  having  a  valid  license  from  OFAC  for  the 
activity – on a cost basis, but for which TEP UK charges a monthly 
handling fee that generates an income of approximately £35,000 per 
annum  relating  to  IOC’s  50%  stake  in  the  Rhum  field.  After  costs, 
TEP UK realizes little profit from this arrangement.TEP UK expects to 
continue this activity in 2019.

RISKS AND CONTROL 

Risk Factors 

Following  the  acquisition  of  Maersk  Oil  in  2018,  the  undeveloped 
Yeoman discovery is now wholly owned by the Group, under license 
P2158 granted to Maersk Oil North Sea UK Limited, recently renamed 
Total E&P North Sea UK Limited (“TEPNSUK”). Yeoman is situated 
adjacent to the Pardis discovery in which IOC held an interest, which 
it sold in October 2018. Prior to this divestment, non- legally binding 
technical  and  commercial  discussions  had  taken  place  between 
TEPNSUK,  IOC  and  the  UK  Government’s  Oil  and  Gas  Authority 
during the first half of 2018 regarding a potential joint development of 
Yeoman  and  Pardis  but  no  contractual  arrangements  were 
implemented in connection with such discussions. Also prior to this 
divestement, other discussions had taken place between TEPNSUK 
and IOC on an informal basis regarding a potential farm- in to Pardis 
by Maersk Oil. 

Lastly, TOTAL S.A. paid approximately €8,000 to Iranian authorities
related to various patents (1)  in 2018. Similar payments are expected
to be made in 2019 for such patents. 

b) Other business segments 
In  2018,  TOTAL  S.A.  paid  fees  of  approximately  €1,500  to  Iranian 
authorities related to the maintenance and protection of trademarks 
and  designs  in  Iran.  Similar  payments  are  expected  to  be  made  in 
2019. 

Trading & Shipping 

Following  the  suspension  of  applicable  EU  and  U.S.  economic 
sanctions  in  2016,  the  Group  commenced  the  purchase  of  Iranian 
hydrocarbons through its wholly- owned affiliate TOTSA TOTAL OIL 
TRADING  SA  (“TOTSA”).  In  2018,  the  Group  continued  its  trading 
activities with Iran via TOTSA, which purchased approximately 18 Mb 
of Iranian crude oil for nearly €1 billion pursuant to term contracts. 
It is not possible to estimate the gross revenue and net profit related 
to these purchases because the totality of this crude oil was used to 
supply  the  Group’s  refineries.  In  addition,  in  2018,  approximately 
1  Mb  of  petroleum  products  were  sold  to  entities  with  ties  to  the 
government  of  Iran.  These  activities  generated  gross  revenue  of 
nearly €43 million and a net profit of approximately €1 million. The 
Group ceased these activities in June 2018. 

Gas, Renewables & Power 

Saft  Groupe  S.A.  (“Saft”),  a  wholly- owned  affiliate,  in  2018  sold 
signaling  and  backup  battery  systems  for  metros  and  railways  as 
well as products for the utilities and oil and gas sectors to companies 
in Iran, including some having direct or indirect ties with the Iranian 
government.  In  2018,  this  activity  generated  gross  revenue  of 
approximately  €2.5  million  and  net  profit  of  approximately 
€0.3 million. Saft ceased this activity in 2018. Saft also attended the 
Iran  Oil  Show  in  2018,  where  it  discussed  business  opportunities 
with  Iranian  customers,  including  those  with  direct  or  indirect  ties 
with the Iranian government. Saft ceased this activity in 2018. 

Total Eren, a company in which Total Eren Holding holds an interest 
of  68.76%  (TOTAL  S.A.  owns  33.86%  of  Total  Eren  Holding),  had 
preliminary  discussions  during  January  to  March  2018  for  possible 
investments in renewable energy projects in Iran, including meetings 
with  ministries  of  the  Iranian  government.  These  discussions  and 
meetings ceased as of March 2018 and neither revenues nor profits 
were recognized from this activity in 2018. 

Refining & Chemicals 

As of May 2018, Hutchinson SA and its affiliates no longer accepted 
orders from Iranian companies and ceased all activities, in general, 
with Iran and all Iranian companies prior to August 6, 2018. 

Le  Joint  Français,  a  wholly- owned  affiliate  of  Hutchinson  SA,  sold 
vehicular O- ring seals in 2018 to Iran Khodro, a company in which 

the government of Iran holds a 20% interest and which is supervised 
by Iran’s Industrial Management Organization. This activity generated 
gross  revenue  of  approximately  €54,056  and  net  profit  of 
approximately €8,108. 

Paulstra S.N.C., a wholly- owned affiliate of Hutchinson SA, obtained 
in  2017  an  order  from  Iran  Khodro  to  sell  vehicular  anti- vibration 
systems  over  a  5- year  period.  This  activity  did  not  generate  any 
gross revenue or net profit in 2018 because Paulstra did not delivery 
any  product  to  Iran  Khodro.  The  order  was  terminated  in  2018. 
Paulstra S.N.C. also sold oil seals in 2018 to Iran Khodro. This activity 
generated gross revenue of approximately €1,078,887 and net profit 
of approximately €161,833. 

Catelsa Caceres, a wholly- owned affiliate of Hutchinson Iberia, itself 
wholly- owned  by  Hutchinson  SA,  sold  sealing  products  to  Iran 
Khodro 
in  2018.  This  activity  generated  gross  revenue  of 
approximately €1,449 and net profit of approximately €217. 

Hutchinson GMBH, a wholly- owned affiliate of Hutchinson SA, sold 
hoses  for  automotive  vehicles  to  Iran  Khodro  in  2018.  This  activity 
generated gross revenue for approximately €257,400 and net profit 
of approximately €38,610. The last shipments from Hutchinson and 
its affiliates to Iran Khodro were in August 2018 and last payments 
were made in October 2018. 

Hanwha Total Petrochemicals (“HTC”), a joint venture in which Total 
Holdings UK Limited (a wholly- owned affiliate) holds a 50% interest 
and  Hanwha  General  Chemicals  holds  a  50%  interest,  purchased 
approximately 17 Mb of condensates from NIOC for approximately 
KRW  1,310  billion  (approximately  $1.2  billion)  from  January  to  July 
2018, then HTC stopped purchasing from NIOC. These condensates 
are used as raw material for certain of HTC’s steam crackers. HTC 
also  chartered  fifteen  tankers  of  condensates  with  National  Iranian 
Tanker  Company  (NITC),  a  subsidiary  of  NIOC,  for  approximately 
KRW  24  billion  (approximately  $22.3  million).  In  November  2018, 
South  Korea  was  granted  a  significant  reduction  exemption  waiver 
(the “SRE waiver”) allowing it to import Iranian condensate from NIOC 
for six months. For 2019, based on the SRE waiver, HTC is reviewing 
the feasibility to resume purchases from NIOC. 

Total Research & Technology Feluy (“TRTF”, a wholly- owned affiliate), 
Total  Marketing  &  Services  (“TMS”,  a  wholly- owned  affiliate),  and 
Total  Raffinage  Chimie 
totaling 
(“TRC”)  paid 
approximately €1,000 to Iranian authorities related to various patents. 
Similar  payments  are  expected  to  be  made  by  TRTF  and  TRC  in 
2019.  TMS  abandoned  its  patent  rights  in  Iran  in  2018,  thus  no 
payments are expected by TMS in 2019.

Marketing & Services 

Until  December  2012,  at  which  time  it  sold  its  entire  interest,  the 
Group held a 50% interest in the lubricants retail company Beh Tam 
(formerly  Beh  Total)  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 
(renewed for an additional 3 year period) for the sale by Beh Tam of 
lubricants to domestic consumers in Iran. Royalty payments for 2014 
were received by TOTAL S.A. during the first semester of 2018 in the 
amount of approximately €730,000. There remain outstanding royalty 
payments for 2015 through 2017 in favor of TOTAL S.A. This licensing 
agreement  was  terminated  in  2018.  In  addition,  representatives  of 
Total Oil Asia- Pacific Pte Ltd, a wholly- owned affiliate, visited Behran 
Oil beginning 2018 regarding the potential purchase of 50% of the 
share capital of Beh Tam. Discussions on this matter ended following 
the announcement of the re- imposition of U.S. secondary sanctions 
on the oil industry. 

(1)  Section 560.509 of the U.S. Iranian Transactions and Sanctions Regulations provides an authorization for certain transactions in connection with patent, trademark, copyright or other 
intellectual property protection in the United States or Iran, including payments for such services and payments to persons in Iran directly connected to intellectual property rights, and 
TOTAL believes that the activities related to the industrial property rights described in this point 3.1.9.2 are consistent with that authorization.

Total  Marketing  Middle  East  FZE,  a  wholly- owned  affiliate,  sold 
lubricants  to  Beh  Tam  in  2018.  The  sale  in  2018  of  approximately 
43  t  of  lubricants  and  special  fluids  generated  gross  revenue  of 
approximately AED 500,000 (approximately $136,000) and net profit 
of  approximately  AED  260,000  (approximately  $71,000) (1).  The 
company stopped all transactions with this customer as of August 
2018. 

Total Marketing France (“TMF”), a company wholly- owned by TMS, 
provided  in  2018  fuel  payment  cards  to  the  Iranian  embassy  and 
delegation  to  UNESCO  in  France  for  use  in  the  Group’s  service 
stations.  In  2018,  these  activities  generated  gross  revenue  of 
approximately  €32,000  and  net  profit  of  approximately  €5,000. 
The company expects to continue this activity in 2019. 

TMF also sold jet fuel in 2018 to Iran Air as part of its airplane refueling 
activities in France. The sale of approximately 260 cubic meters of jet 
fuel  generated  gross  revenue  of  approximately  €130,000  and  net 
profit of approximately €570. The company stopped all transactions 
with this customer prior to November 5, 2018. 

Total Belgium, a wholly- owned affiliate, provided in 2018 fuel payment 
cards  to  the  Iranian  embassy  in  Brussels  (Belgium)  for  use  in  the 
Group’s  service  stations.  In  2018,  these  activities  generated  gross 
revenue  of  approximately  €11,000  and  net  profit  of  approximately 
€4,000. The company expects to continue this activity in 2019. 

B) 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  late  2014,  the  Group 
initiated a downsizing of its Damascus office and reduced its staff to 
a  few  employees.  In  2018,  TOTAL  paid  approximately  €84,000  to 
the Syrian government as contributions for social security in relation 
to the aforementioned personnel. 

In addition, the Group paid fees related to various industrial property 
rights (patents, trademarks and designs) in 2018. 

3.2  Legal and arbitration proceedings 

There are no governmental, legal or arbitration proceedings, including 
any proceeding of which the Company is aware that are pending or 
threatened against the Company, that could have, or could have had 
during the last 12 months, a material impact on the Group’s financial 
situation or profitability. 

Described  below  are  the  main  administrative,  legal  and  arbitration 
proceedings  in  which  the  Company  and  the  other  entities  of  the 
Group are involved. 

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 
and a request for an expert opinion has been approved by the court. 
The  existence  and  the  assessment  of  the  alleged  damages  in  this 
procedure involving multiple defendants remain contested. 

FERC 

The  Office  of  Enforcement  of  the  U.S.  Federal  Energy  Regulatory 
Commission  (FERC)  began  in  2015  an  investigation  in  connection 
with  the  natural  gas  trading  activities  in  the  United  States  of  Total 
Gas & Power North America, Inc. (TGPNA), a U.S. subsidiary of the 
Group.  The  investigation  covered  transactions  made  by  TGPNA 
between  June  2009  and  June  2012  on  the  natural  gas  market. 
TGPNA  received  a  Notice  of  Alleged  Violations  from  FERC  on 
September 21, 2015. On April 28, 2016, FERC issued an order to 
show  cause  to  TGPNA  and  two  of  its  former  employees,  and  to 
TOTAL S.A. and Total Gas & Power Ltd., regarding the same facts. 
TGPNA  contests  the  claims  brought  against  it.  A  class  action, 
launched  to  seek  damages  from  these  three  companies,  was 
dismissed by a judgment of the U.S. District court of New York issued 
on  March  15,  2017.  The  Court  of  Appeal  upheld  this  judgment  on 
May 4, 2018. 

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). 
The explosion caused the death of 31 people, including 21 workers 
at  the  site,  injured  many  others  and  caused  significant  damage  on 
the site and to property in the city of Toulouse. 

After  many  years,  the  investigating  magistrate  brought  charges 
against  Grande  Paroisse  and  the  former  Plant  Manager  before  the 
Toulouse  Criminal  Court.  On  November  19,  2009,  this  tribunal 
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. 

On September 24, 2012, the Court of Appeal of Toulouse convicted 
Grande Paroisse and the former Plant Manager. 

On January 13, 2015, the French Supreme Court (Cour de cassation) 
fully  quashed  the  decision  of  September  24,  2012.  The  case  was 
referred back to the Court of Appeal of Paris, which, on October 31, 
2017,  convicted  Grande  Paroisse  and  the  former  Plant  Manager. 
Both have decided to appeal this decision before the French Supreme 
Court (Cour de cassation). 

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  €10  million  reserve 
remains  booked  in  the  Group’s  Consolidated  Financial  Statements 
as of December 31, 2018. 

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  other  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.

RISKS AND CONTROL 

Internal control and risk management procedures 

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  an  independent  compliance  monitor  to  review  the  Group’s 
compliance program and to recommend possible improvements. 

In July 2016, the monitor submitted his third and final report, in which 
he certified that TOTAL had devised and implemented an appropriate 
compliance  program.  As  a  result  of  this  certification,  the  U.S. 
authorities,  after  having  reviewed  the  monitor’s  report,  concluded 
that TOTAL had fulfilled all of its obligations, thus bringing an end to 
the monitoring process. As a result, a Court in the State of Virginia 
granted  a  motion  to  dismiss  on  November  9,  2016,  thereby 
terminating  the  procedure  directed  at  the  Company,  which  can  no 
longer be pursued in the United States for these same facts. 

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. Pursuant to a judgment 
issued  on  December  21,  2018,  the  Paris  Criminal  Court  convicted 
TOTAL of corruption of foreign official and ordered the Company to 
pay a €500,000 fine. Given the specific circumstances of this case, 
which has been already judged in the U.S. and in which none of the 

individuals  can  defend  themselves,  TOTAL  did  not  want  to  pursue 
the case. This decision is thus definitive. 

Italy 

As part of an investigation led by the Public Prosecutor of the Potenza 
Court  in  2007,  Total  Italia  and  also  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. 

Pursuant to a judgment issued on April 4, 2016, the Potenza Criminal 
Court  found  four  employees  to  be  guilty  of  corruption,  with  two  of 
these  employees  also  being  found  guilty  of  misappropriation  in 
connection with the purchase of land. The procedure with respect to 
Total  Italia  was  sent  back  to  the  public  prosecutor  due  to  the 
imprecision of the terms of prosecution. The four employees decided 
to challenge the judgment before the Court of Appeal. 

Pursuant to a definitive judgment issued on February 20, 2018 the 
Court  of  Appeal  of  Potenza  recorded  the  termination  of  the 
proceedings  directed  towards  the  four  employees  prosecuted  for 
corruption because of the expiration of the statute of limitation. 

Pursuant to a judgment issued on July 17, 2018, the Court of Appeal 
of Potenza acquitted two of the Group’s employees prosecuted for 
misappropriation.  The  public  prosecutor  and  a  civil  party  (plaintiff) 
have decided to appeal this decision. 

3.3 

Internal control and risk management 
procedures 

The following information was prepared with the support of several 
functional  divisions  of  the  Company,  and  in  particular  the  Audit  & 

Internal Control, Legal and Finance Divisions. It was examined by the 
Audit Committee, then approved by the Board of Directors. 

3.3.1  Fundamental elements of the internal control and risk management 

systems 

The Group is structured around its business segments, to which the 
Group’s  operational  entities  report.  The  business  segments’ 
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  divisions  at  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  Group’s  internal  control  and  risk  management  systems  are 
structured around a three- level organization – Holding level, business 
segments, operational entities – where each level is directly involved 
and  accountable  in  line  with  the  level  of  delegation  determined  by 
General Management. 

General  Management  constantly  strives  to  maintain  an  efficient 
internal control system, 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:  2018  –  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 
fully  consolidated  entities.  Regarding 
the  processes  of  the 
acquisitions, the Group’s control environment is implemented in the 
acquired entities after a critical analysis of their own systems. 

The principles of control fit into the framework of the rules of corporate 
governance.  In  particular,  these  rules  task  the  Board  of  Directors’ 
Audit Committee with monitoring the efficiency of the internal control 
and risk management systems, and of the internal audit performed 
to  assess  the  risk  management  systems  at  all  levels  of  the 
organization and make recommendations for their improvement. The 
Audit Committee also monitors the process of producing accounting 
and financial information, in order to guarantee its integrity. 

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  Audit  &  Internal 
Control Division.

3.3.2  Control environment 

Integrity and ethics – Framework 

TOTAL’s  control  environment  is  based  primarily  on  its  Code  of 
Conduct, which spells out the Group’s values, two of which are core 
values: Safety and Respect for Each Other, the latter being reflected 
in  the  areas  of  integrity  (fraud  and  corruption),  respect  for  human 
rights as well as environment and health. The principles of the Code 
of Conduct are set forth in a number of guides, such as the Business 
Integrity Guide and the Human Rights Guide. These documents are 
distributed to 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 is present. Similarly, a Financial Code 
of Ethics sets forth the obligations applicable to the Chairman and 
Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Vice President 
of the Corporate Accounting Division and the financial and accounting 
officers of the principal Group activities. 

As a priority of General Management, the Group deploys an integrity 
policy and compliance programs, in particular for the prevention of 
corruption, fraud and competition law infringement. These programs 
include  reporting  and  control  actions  (review  and  audit  missions). 
Ethical assessments are also conducted (refer to point 5.7 of chapter 
5). In these areas, the Group relies on the Compliance network, the 
Ethics officers’ network and the Ethics Committee, the role of which 
is to listen and provide assistance. 

TOTAL has a framework of Group standards that is completed by a 
series of practical recommendations and feedback. Like the Group’s 
organization,  this  framework  has  a  three- level  structure:  a  Group 
level,  frameworks  for  each  business  segment,  and  a  specific 
framework for each significant operational entity. 

Governance, authorities and responsibilities 

The Board of Directors, with the support of its Committees, 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. 

General Management ensures that the organizational structure and 
reporting  lines  plan,  execute,  control  and  periodically  assess  the 
Group’s  activities.  It  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  business  segments  and  operational  entities’  General 
management  are  responsible  for  the  internal  control  and  risk 
management system within their scope of responsibility. 

The  Group  has  also  defined  central  responsibilities  that  cover  the 
three lines 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. 

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, in accordance with the Group’s 
instructions, clear rules applicable to its own scope. 

The  Group’s  Audit  &  Internal  Control  Division  pursues  a  continual 
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 

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 of internal audits and its Code 
of  Conduct.  The  Group’s  Audit  &  Internal  Control  Division  also 
conducts  joint  audits  with  third  parties  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.  The  Group’s  Audit  &  Internal  Control  Division  employs 
75 people and conducted about 150 internal audit missions in 2018. 

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, 
in compliance with the Sarbanes- Oxley Act. In 2018, this assessment 
was performed with the assistance of the Group’s main entities and 
Audit & Internal Control Division. The system covers: 

—  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 framework; and 

—  other less significant entities, which respond only to the Group 

questionnaire for assessing the internal control system. 

These two categories of entities, which include the central functions 
of  the  business  segments  and  the  corporate,  account  for 
approximately 80% and 10%, respectively, of the financial aggregates 
in the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements. 

Direct Énergie, Quadran and Global LNG, entities acquired in 2018, 
are excluded from the scope of the assessment and conclusion on 
the  effectiveness  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting.  These 
three entities represented respectively 1.34%, 0.50% and 2.15% of 
the Group’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 and 
0.34%, 0.04% and 0.07% of the Group’s 2018 consolidated sales. 

The statutory auditors also review the internal controls that they deem 
necessary  as  part  of  their  certification  of  the  financial  statements. 
Pursuant  to  American  regulations,  they  reviewed  in  2018  the 
implementation  of  the  Group’s  internal  control  framework  and  the 
design and effectiveness of key internal controls in its main entities 
regarding  financial  reporting.  Based  on  their  review,  the  statutory 
auditors stated that they had no remarks on the information presented 
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,  Audit  &  Internal  Control  attended  all  Audit  Committee 
meetings  held  in  2018.  The  Audit  Committee  also  meets  with  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 Group’s 
Audit & Internal Control Division, monitor their implementation closely. 

Based on the internal reviews, General Management has reasonable 
assurance of the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

Internal control and risk management procedures 

3.3.3  Risk assessment and management 

3.3.3.1  General principles 

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 regularly monitored as part of the self- assessment process. 

The monitoring of operational objectives (financial and non- financial) 
helps in decision- making and monitoring the performance of activities 
at each level of the organization. 

The Group implements a risk- management system that is an essential 
factor  in  the  deployment  of  its  strategy,  based  on  responsible 
risk- taking. 

This  system  relies  on  a  continuous  process  of  identifying  and 
analyzing  risks  in  order  to  determine  those  that  could  prevent  the 
achievment of TOTAL’s goals. 

The  Executive  Committee,  with  the  assistance  of  the  Group  Risk 
Management Committee (GRMC), is responsible for identifying and 
analyzing  internal  and  external  risks  that  could  impact  the 
achievement of the Group’s objectives. The main responsibilities of 
the GRMC include ensuring that the Group has a map of the risks to 
which it is exposed and that suitable risk management systems are 
in place. The GRMC’s work focuses on continuously improving risk 
awareness and the risk management systems. 

Risk  mapping,  which  has  been  carried  out  since  the  2000s,  is  a 
dynamic process that has taken shape over the years. The Group’s 
risk map feeds the audit plan, which is based on an analysis of the 
risks and the risk management systems, and the work of the GRMC. 

The GRMC relies on the work carried out by the business segments 
and functional divisions, which concurrently establish their own risk 
mapping.  The  business  segments  are  responsible  for  defining  and 
implementing  a  risk  management  policy  suited  to  their  specific 
activities. However, the handling of certain transverse risks is more 
closely coordinated by the respective functional divisions. 

Regarding commitments, General Management exercises operational 
control  over  TOTAL’s  activities  through  the  Executive  Committee’s 
approval  of  investments  and  expenses  that  exceed  defined 
thresholds. The Risk Committee (CORISK) is tasked with reviewing 
these projects in advance, and in particular, with verifying the analysis 
of the various associated risks. 

3.3.3.2 

Implementation of the organizational 
framework 

The Group Risk Management Committee (GRMC) 

The GRMC is chaired by a member of the Executive Committee, the 
Group’s  Chief  Financial  Officer,  and  includes  the  Senior  Vice 
Presidents  of  the  corporate  functions,  together  with  the  chief 
administrative  officers  or  chief  financial  officers  of  the  business 
segments.  The  Group’s  Chief  Financial  Officer  attends  all  meetings 
of the Board of Directors’ Audit Committee, thus strengthening the 
link between the GRMC and the Audit Committee. 

The GRMC meets six times a year. At each meeting, the participants 
share any potential risks they have identified and presentations are 
given on one or more risk- related topics, during which the members 
of  the  GRMC  are  invited  to  cast  a  critical  eye  over  the  subject, 
question  the  work  done  and,  if  applicable,  provide  additional 
information or clarification in order to enhance the understanding of 
the risk and improve the risk management systems. The GRMC can 
request that actions be taken. 

The work of the GRMC is led by the Audit & Internal Control Division, 
which assists contributors in preparing the presentations and acts as 
the committee’s secretary. In this capacity, the Audit & Internal Control 
Division reports regularly on the work of the GRMC to the Executive 
Committee, and once a year to the Audit Committee in the presence 
of the Group’s Chief Financial Officer who chairs the GRMC. 

The Risk Committee (CORISK) 

The  Risk  Committee  is  chaired  by  a  member  of  the  Executive 
Committee (Senior Vice President of Strategy & Innovation or Chief 
Financial Officer). It is made up of representatives from the corporate 
Strategy & Climate, Finance, Legal, Insurance and HSE divisions. 

The Risk Committee meets on the same schedule as the Executive 
Committee. Any project submitted to the Executive Committee (and 
therefore giving rise to a financial commitment that exceeds certain 
thresholds) is first presented to the Risk Committee by the relevant 
operational division. 

Following the review by the Risk Committee of the risks associated 
with the project submitted, the Strategy & Climate Division sends the 
Executive  Committee  a  memorandum  stating  its  opinion  in  light  of 
the Risk Committee’s comments. 

The Audit & Internal Control Division 

The Risk Team of the Audit & Internal Control Division is responsible 
for  producing  and  continuously  updating  the  Group’s  risk  map. 
To this end, it uses all of the risk- mapping work carried out across 
the Group, in the business segments and in the functional divisions, 
the results of all audits and internal control activities, the action plans 
resulting from this work and the monitoring of their implementation, 
structured  feedback,  benchmarks  and  other  external  information 
sources, regular interviews with the Group’s executive officers, and 
all information gathered during GRMC meetings and the preparation 
for these meetings. 

The  Audit  &  Internal  Control  Division  reports  regularly  on  its  work 
related to the Group’s risk map to the Executive Committee, which 
are presented annually to the Audit Committee. 

3.3.3.3  Systems in place 

Risk management systems are implemented in the operational and 
financial  fields  as  well  as  in  information  systems  and  protection  of 
intellectual  assets.  Specific  systems  are  deployed  to  prevent  risks 
related  to  ethics  and  non- compliance.  The  main  risk  management 
systems covering health, safety, industrial security, the environment 
and the prevention of corruption are presented in the statement of 
non- financial performance (chapter 5). 

Financial risks 

The management and conditions of use of financial instruments are 
governed  by  strict  rules  that  are  defined  by  the  Group’s  General 
Management,  and  which  provide  for  centralization  by  the  Treasury 
Division of liquidity, interest and exchange rate positions, management 
of financial instruments and access to capital markets. The Group’s 
financing policy consists of incurring long- term debt at a floating rate 
or at a fixed rate, depending on the Group’s general corporate needs, 
and interest rates. Debt is incurred mainly in dollars or euros. 

The  Group’s  cash  balances,  which  mainly  consist  of  dollars  and 
euros, 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 committed 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.

RISKS AND CONTROL

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 subsidiaries 
and the Group’s central treasury entities according to their needs. In 
addition,  to  reduce  market  value  risk  on  its  commitments,  the 
Treasury  Division  has  entered  into  margin  call  contracts  with  its 
counterparties.  In  addition,  since  December  21,  2018,  pursuant  to 
Regulation 
(EU)  No.  648/2012  on  OTC  derivatives,  central 
counterparties  and  trade  repositories  (EMIR),  some  of  the  interest 
rate swaps entered into by the Group are now being centrally cleared. 

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 
Division,  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,  are  described  in  detail  in  Note  15  to  the 
Consolidated Financial Statements (point 8.7 of chapter 8). 

Risks related to information systems 

In order to maintain information systems that are appropriate to the 
organization’s needs and limit the risks associated with information 
systems  and  their  data,  TOTAL’s  IT  Division  has  developed  and 
distributed  governance  and  security  rules  that  describe  the 
recommended  infrastructure,  organization  and  procedures.  These 
rules are implemented across the Group under the responsibility of 
the various business segments. To address cyber threats, the Group 
conducts specific risk analyses permitting to define and put in place 
appropriate security controls concerning information systems. 

The Group has also developed control activities at various levels of 
the  organization  relating  to  areas  where  information  systems  cover 
all or part of the processes. Information Technology General Controls 
aim to guarantee that information systems function and are available 
as required, and that data integrity and confidentiality are also ensured 
and changes controlled. 

Information  Technology  Automated  Controls  aim  to  ensure  the 
integrity  and  confidentiality  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 identifies the 
controls necessary within its own organization to maintain these risks 
at an acceptable level. 

Furthermore,  faced  with  rising  legal  and  security- related  risks,  the 
Group deploys policies to retain documents and to protect personal 
data and the security of its information assets. The Group has also 
employed  an  Operational  Security  Center  to  detect  and  analyze  IT 
system security events. 

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 and detect 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 other standards applied by the 
Group’s business segments. 

The Group has 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 including those that 
may constitute fraud. 

An anti- fraud compliance program has been deployed since 2015, 
including e- learning modules for all Group employees, a Guide to the 
“Prevention and the fight against fraud”, a map of the risks of fraud in 
the Group, a guide to the types of risk of fraud that includes descriptions 
of the main risks and was published in 2016, and campaigns to raise 
awareness of the major risks of fraud, launched at the end of 2016 
and  2018.  This  program  is  deployed  by  the  network  of  fraud  risk 
coordinators  in  the  business  segments  and  operational  entities. 
The  role  of  coordinator  is  usually  performed  by  the  Compliance 
Officer. Fraud risk analyses are also carried out in the subsidiaries. 

For  information  on  prevention  of  corruption,  refer  to  point  5.8.1  of 
chapter 5. 

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 appropriate organization. 

Prevention of conflicts of interest and market abuse 

To prevent conflicts of interest, each of the Group’s senior executives 
completes an annual statement declaring any conflicts of interest to 
which  they  may  be  subject.  By  completing  this  declaration,  each 
senior executive also agrees to report to their 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.  An  internal  rule  named  “Conflicts  of 
Interests” reminds all employees of their obligation to report to their 
supervisor any situation that might give rise to a conflict of interests. 

The  Group  implements  a  policy  to  prevent  market  abuse  linked  to 
trading on the financial markets that is based, in particular, on internal 
ethics  rules  that  are  updated  on  a  regular  basis  and  distributed. 
In addition, the Group’s senior executives and certain employees, in 
light  of  their  positions,  are  asked  to  refrain  from  carrying  out  any 
transactions,  including  hedging  transactions,  on  TOTAL  shares  or 
ADRs and 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-day 
period  preceding  such  date.  An  annual  campaign  specifies  the 
applicable blackout periods. 

Prevention of risks of non- compliance with international 
economic sanctions regimes 

The  Group’s  activities  in  relation  to  sanctioned  countries  (refer  to 
point 3.1.9 of this chapter) are subject to an analysis of compliance 
with the various applicable economic sanctions regimes. With respect 
to Iran and until the withdrawal of the Group’s business operations 
from  this  country  on  October  29,  2018,  a  specific  compliance 
program  was  put  in  place.  In- depth  investigations,  carried  out  by 
specialized  service  providers,  were  conducted  on  the  Group’s 
stakeholders in Iran, in order to identify possible links with companies 
or persons listed under international sanctions (Specially Designated

transactions  related  to  Iran.  An  Iran  compliance  coordinator,
appointed in 2016, liaised with the compliance teams of the relevant 
business segments and the Holding in order to ensure compliance 
of the Group’s activities with applicable laws and regulations. 

Risks related to the protection of intellectual assets 

To mitigate the risks of third parties infringing its intellectual property 
and the leak of know- how, TOTAL protects its rights under research 
partnership  agreements  negotiated  by  the  Group’s  intellectual 
property specialists, the terms and conditions of which are consistent 

with the Group’s industrial and commercial strategy. The Group has 
a  policy  of  filing  and  maintaining  patents,  it  monitors  technological 
developments  in  terms  of  freedom  of  use,  and  it  takes,  when 
necessary,  all  appropriate  measures  to  ensure  the  protection  of  its 
rights. 

In addition, since some of its employees have access to confidential 
documents while performing their duties, TOTAL has adopted internal 
rules  concerning  the  management  of  confidential  information. 
The  Group’s 
intellectual  property  specialists  also  carry  out 
awareness- raising activities with Group employees, so that they are 
better  informed  about  restrictions  that  may  apply  to  the  use  of 
information and data. 

3.3.4  Main characteristics of the internal control and risk management 

procedures relating to the preparation and processing of accounting and 
financial information 

Accounting and financial internal control covers the processes that 
produce  accounting  and  financial  data,  and  mainly  the  financial 
statements  processes  and  the  processes  to  produce  and  publish 
accounting  and  financial  information.  The  internal  control  system 
aims to: 

—  conserve the Group’s assets; 

—  comply with accounting regulations, and properly apply standards 
and methods to the production of financial information; and 

—  guarantee  the  reliability  of  accounting  and  financial  information 
by  controlling  the  production  of  accounting  and  financial 
information  and  its  consistency  with  the  information  used  to 
produce  the  control  panels  at  every  appropriate  level  of  the 
organization. 

At Group level, the Finance Division, which includes the Accounting 
Division, the Budget & Financial Control Division and the Tax Division, 
is responsible for the production and processing of accounting and 
financial  information.  The  scope  of  the  internal  control  procedures 
relating to the production and processing of financial and accounting 
information includes the parent company (TOTAL S.A.), and all fully 
consolidated entities or entities whose assets are under joint control. 

Refer to point 4.1.2.3 of chapter 4 for a description of the role and 
the missions of the Audit Committee. These missions are defined by

the legal control of accounts. 

3.3.4.1  Production of accounting and financial 

information 

Organization of the Financial and Information Systems function 

Dedicated teams implement the accounting and financial processes 
in the areas of consolidation, tax, budget and management control, 
financing,  cash  positions  and  information  systems.  The  entities, 
business  segments  and  General  Management  are  respectively 
responsible for accounting activities. 

The  Accounting  Division,  which  is  part  of  the  Finance  Division,  is 
responsible  for  drawing  up  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements 
and manages the Group’s network of accounting teams. 

The tax function, made up of a network of tax experts in the Holding, 
the  business  segments  and  the  entities,  monitors  changes  in  local 
and international rules. It oversees the implementation of the Group’s 
tax policy. 

Management control contributes to the reinforcement of the internal 
control  system  at  every  level  of  the  organization.  The  network  of 
management controllers in the entities and the business segments is 

supervised  by  the  Budget  &  Financial  Control  Division.  This 
department  also  produces  the  monthly  control  panel,  the  budget 
and the long- term plan for the Group. 

The Treasury Division implements the financial policy, and in particular 
the processing and centralization of cash flows, the debt and liquidity 
investment policy and the coverage of currency exposure and interest 
rate risks. 

The Information Systems Division makes decisions on the choice of 
software suited to the Group’s accounting and financial requirements. 
These information systems are subject to works to reinforce the task 
separation system and to improve the control of access rights. Tools 
are available to make sure that access rights comply with the Group’s 
rules in this area. 

Consolidated Financial Statements process 

The  Accounting  Division,  which  reports  to  the  Finance  Division, 
prepares  the  Group’s  quarterly  Consolidated  Financial  Statements 
according  to  IFRS  standards,  on  the  basis  of  the  consolidated 
reporting  packages  prepared  by 
the  entities  concerned. 
The  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  are  examined  by  the  Audit 
Committee, then approved by the Board of Directors. 

The  main  factors  in  the  preparation  of  the  Consolidated  Financial 
Statements are as follows: 

—  the  processes  feeding  the  individual  accounts  used  to  prepare 
the  reporting  packages  for  consolidation  purposes  are  subject 
to validation, authorization and booking rules; 

—  the consistency and reliability of the accounting and control data 
are validated for each consolidated entity and at each appropriate 
level of the organization; 

—  a  consolidation  tool,  supervised  by  the  Accounting  Division,  is 
used by each consolidated entity and the Group. It guarantees 
the  consistency  and  reliability  of  the  data  at  each  appropriate 
level of the organization; 

—  a consolidation reporting package from each entity concerned is 
sent directly to the Accounting Division. It is used to optimize the 
transmission and the completeness of the information; 

—  a  corpus  of  accounting  rules  and  methods  is  formally  defined. 
Its  application  is  compulsory  for  all  the  consolidated  entities 
in order to provide uniform and reliable financial information. This 
framework is built according to IFRS accounting standards. The 
Accounting Division centrally distributes this framework through 
regular  and  formal  communication  with  the  business  segment 
managers, formal procedures and a Financial Reporting Manual 
that is regularly updated. In particular, it specifies the procedures 

(1) “U.S. person” means any U.S. citizen and permanent resident alien wherever he/she is in the world, entity organized under the laws of the United States or any jurisdiction within the

United States, including foreign branches, or any person or entity located in the United States.

commitments; 

—  new  accounting  standards  under  preparation  and  changes  to 
the  existing  framework  are  monitored  in  order  to  assess  and 
anticipate 
the  Consolidated  Financial 
Statements; 

impacts  on 

their 

—  an accounts plan used by all the consolidated entities is formally 
set forth in the Financial Reporting Manual, specifying the content 
of each account and the procedures for the preparation of the 
reporting packages for consolidation purposes; 

—  the account closing process is supervised and is based mainly 
on  the  formalization  of  economic  assumptions,  judgments  and 
estimates,  treatment  of  complex  accounting  transactions  and 
compliance  with  established  timetables  announced  through 
Group instructions disclosed to each entity; 

—  in  particular,  the  process  applicable  to  the  preparation  of  the 
accounts  of  the  acquired  entities  are  reviewed  and,  where 
appropriate, amended to integrate them into those applicable to 
the  preparation  of  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements. 
Furthermore, the booking in the accounts of the purchase price 
allocation  of  each  of  these  entities  is  based  on  assumptions, 
estimates and judgments in line with the Group’s business model; 

— off-balance sheet commitments, which are valued according to 
the Financial Reporting Manual are reported on a quarterly basis 
to the Audit Committee. 

Processing of accounting and financial information 

Internal control of accounting information is mainly focused around 
the following areas: 

—  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  &  Financial  Control  Divisions,  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 conducted 
at each level of the organization. The various monthly indicators 
are used to continually and uniformly monitor the performances 
of  each  of  the  entities,  business  segments  and  of  the  Group, 
and to make sure that they are in keeping with the objectives; 

—  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  is 

deployed at each level of the organization; 

—  an  annual  control  system  of  the  accounts  of  equity  affiliates 
based on a questionnaire completed by each entity concerned. 
This  system  is  integrated  into  the  Group’s  internal  control 
framework; and 

—  the  Disclosure  Committee  (CCIP)  ensures  the  respect  of  the 

procedures in place. 

Other significant financial information is produced according to strict 
internal control procedures. 

Proved  oil  and  gas  reserves  are  evaluated  annually  by  the  relevant 
entities. They are reviewed by the Reserves Committees, approved

by  Exploration  &  Production’s  general  management  and  then 
validated  by  the  Group’s  General  Management.  They  are  also 
presented to the Audit Committee each year. 

The  internal  control  process  related  to  estimating  reserves  is 
formalized in a special procedure described in detail in point 2.1.3 of 
chapter  2.  The  reserves  evaluation  and  the  related  internal  control 
processes are audited periodically. 

The  strategic  outlook  published  by  the  Group  is  prepared,  in 
particular, according to the long- term plans drawn up at the business 
segment  and  Group  levels,  and  on  the  work  carried  out  at  each 
relevant level of the organization. The Board of Directors reviews the 
strategic outlook each year. 

3.3.4.2  Publication of accounting and financial 

information 

Significant  information  about  the  Group  is  published  externally 
according  to  formal  internal  procedures.  These  procedures  aim  to 
guarantee the quality and fair presentation of the information intended 
for the financial markets, and its timely publication. 

The  Disclosure  Committee  (CCIP),  chaired  by  the  Chief  Financial 
Officer,  ensures,  in  particular,  the  respect  of  these  procedures. 
It  meets  before  TOTAL’s  financial  results  press  releases,  strategic 
presentations  and  annual  reports  are  submitted  to  the  Audit 
Committee and the Board of Directors. 

A calendar of the publication of financial information is published and 
made  available  to  investors  on  the  Group’s  web  site  (refer  to  point 
6.6  of  chapter  6).  With  the  help  of  the  Legal  Division,  Investor 
Relations  ensures  that  all  publications  are  made  on  time  and  in 
accordance with the principle of equal access to information between 
shareholders. 

Assessment of the system for the internal control of accounting
and financial information 

The  Group’s  General  Management  is  responsible  for  implementing 
and assessing the internal control system for financial and accounting 
disclosure. In this context, the implementation of the Group’s internal 
control framework, based on the various components of the COSO 
framework,  is  assessed  internally  at  regular  intervals  within  the 
Group’s main entities. 

Pursuant  to  the  requirements  introduced  by  Section  302  of  the 
Sarbanes- Oxley Act, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and 
the Chief Financial Officer of the Company have conducted, with the 
assistance of members of certain divisions of the Group (in particular 
Legal, Audit & Internal Control and Corporate Communications), an 
evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal disclosure controls and 
procedures, over the period covered by the annual report on Form 
20- F. For fiscal year 2018, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls
and procedures were effective.

In addition, a specific process is in place for reporting any information 
related  to  the  Group’s  accounting  procedures,  internal  control  and 
auditing.  This  process  is  available  to  any  shareholder,  employee  or 
third party. 

Finally,  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  undergo  a  limited 
examination  by  external  auditors  during  quarterly  closing,  and  an 
audit  during  annual  closing.  Almost  all  the  audit  missions  in  the 
countries  are  fulfilled  by  the  members  of  the  networks  of  the  two 
statutory auditors, who, after having jointly examined all the accounts 
and the procedures used to produce them, proceed with the annual 
certification of the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements. They 
are  informed  in  advance  of  the  process  for  the  preparation  of  the 
accounts  and  present  a  summary  of  their  work  to  the  Group 
accounting  and  financial  managers  and  to  the  Audit  Committee 
during the quarterly reviews and annual closing. The statutory auditors 
also perform those internal control audits that they deem necessary 
as part of their mission to certify the Financial Statements.

Insurance and risk management 

3.4 

Insurance and risk management 

3.4.1  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 agrees 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. 

In  2018,  the  net  amount  of  risk  retained  by  ORC  after  reinsurance 
was, on the one hand, a maximum of $100 million per onshore or 
offshore third- party liability insurance claim and, on the other hand, 
$125  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 $225 million per occurrence. 

3.4.2  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: 

—  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 

—  manage the level of financial risk from such events to be either 
covered internally by the Group or transferred to the insurance 
market. 

3.4.3 

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 
disaster  scenarios  and  the  coverage  terms  offered  by  the  market 
(available capacities and price conditions). 

More specifically for: 

—  third- party  liability:  because  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  2018,  the  Group’s  third- party  liability  insurance  for  any 
third- party  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 2018 for its main refining and 
petrochemical sites. 

For example, for the Group’s highest risks (its North Sea platforms 
and main refineries or petrochemical plants), in 2018 the insurance 
limit  for  the  Group’s  share  of  the  installations  was  approximately 
$2 billion for the Refining & Chemicals segment and approximately 
$2.25 billion for the Exploration & Production segment. 

Deductibles  for  property  damage  and  third- party  liability  fluctuate 
between  €0.1  and  €10  million  depending  on  the  level  of  risk  and 
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 provided 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  market  conditions,  specific  circumstances 
and  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 
event  of  a  major  environmental  disaster  or  industrial  accident,  that 
such loss would not have a material adverse effect on the Group.

Vigilance Plan

3 

The Vigilance Plan sets out the rules and measures which, as part of 
risk management systems, enable the Group to identify and prevent 
actual  or  potential  severe  impacts  related  to  its  Activities  and  to 
mitigate  their  effects  thereof,  as  the  case  may  be.  It  does  not 
guarantee that the risks identified will not materialize. It reflects the 
responsible  purchasing  principles  applicable  to  relationships  with 
Suppliers,  but  is  not  aimed  at  replacing  the  measures  in  place  at 
those Suppliers. 

Finally,  the  Vigilance  Plan  covers  the  risks  set  forth  under  Article 
L. 225- 102- 4 of the French Commercial Code.

3.5.1.3  Dialogue with stakeholders 

TOTAL  sets  up  dialogue  procedures  with  its  stakeholders  at  every 
level of its organization. 

In  accordance  with  the  Group’s  framework  on  societal  matters, 
stakeholders are identified, mapped and prioritized according to their 
levels of expectations and involvement. This mapping is kept up to 
date. A structured dialogue with the stakeholders is established and 
maintained, initially at local level but also at the central level. 

At  the  local  level,  TOTAL  has  deployed  since  2006  its  internal 
Stakeholder  Relationship  Management 
(SRM+)  methodology. 
This approach aims to list the main stakeholders of each Subsidiary 
and  site  (depots,  refineries,  etc.),  to  categorize  them,  to  schedule 
consultation  meetings  to  better  understand  their  expectations, 
concerns and opinions. This approach then permits to define action 
plans to manage the impacts of activities and to take into account 
local  development  needs  in  order  to  build  a  long- term  trusting 
relationship. This mechanism is used to explain the Group’s Activities 
to  communities  and  other  stakeholders,  and  to  pay  particular 
attention  to  potentially  vulnerable  local  populations.  It  has  been 
integrated in almost all the Subsidiaries. The system is supplemented 
by a network of mediators with local communities, deployed within 
the  Exploration  &  Production  segment  to  maintain  a  constructive 
dialogue with neighboring communities. 

At  the  central  level,  the  relevant  departments  of  the  Holding  also 
ensure  that  dialogue  is  maintained  with  the  Group’s  stakeholders. 
For example, in 2018 upon publication of the Information Document 
on Human Rights, the Human Rights Department of the Civil Society 
Engagement  Division  consulted  certain  of  its  stakeholders  on  the 
risk map published in the 2017 Vigilance Plan. This consultation led 
to the conclusion that the mapping could thus be maintained. 

Among  these  numerous  stakeholders,  TOTAL  maintains  regular 
dialogue with the Group’s employees and their representatives who 
have a privileged position and role. 

3.5  Vigilance Plan 

3.5.1 

Introduction 

3.5.1.1  Background and Group commitments 

In accordance with Article L. 225- 102- 4 of the French Commercial 
Code, the vigilance plan (hereafter referred to as the “Vigilance Plan”) 
aims  to  set  out  the  reasonable  measures  of  vigilance  put  in  place 
within  the  Group  in  order  to  identify  the  risks  and  prevent  severe 
impacts on human rights and fundamental freedoms, human health 
and  safety  and  the  environment  resulting  from  the  activities  of  the 
Company and those of the companies it controls as defined in point 
II  of  Article  L.  233- 16  of  the  French  Commercial  Code,  directly  or 
indirectly, as well as the activities of subcontractors or suppliers with 
which  it  has  an  established  commercial  relationship,  where  such 
activities are linked to this relationship. 

TOTAL  operates  in  over  130  countries  in  a  variety  of  complex 
economic and socio- cultural contexts and in business areas that are 
likely to present risks that fall within the scope of the Vigilance Plan. 

The  One  Total  company  project,  which  embodies  the  Group’s 
ambition  to  become  the  responsible  energy  major,  is  based 
specifically  on  Safety  and  Respect  for  Each  Other,  the  two  core 
values  central  to  the  Group’s  collective  principles.  In  addition  to 
complying with applicable legislation in each country where the Group 
operates which most often aims at preventing severe impacts in the 
scope of Article L. 225-102-4 of the French Commercial Code, TOTAL 
relies  on  structured  frameworks  and  stringent  risk  management 
systems for the conduct of its operations. 

The  Vigilance  Plan  and  its  implementation  are  part  of  a  dynamic 
process  aimed  at  continual  improvement  of  the  Group’s  practices 
with  regard  to  the  issues  identified  within  each  of  the  areas 
concerned. 

3.5.1.2  Method and preparation of the Vigilance Plan 

The Vigilance Plan covers the activities (hereafter referred to as the 
“Activities”) of TOTAL S.A. and its fully consolidated subsidiaries as 
defined  in  II  of  Article  L.  233- 16  of  the  French  Commercial  Code 
(hereafter referred to as the “Subsidiaries”). Certain companies, such 
as  Hutchinson,  Saft  Groupe  and  SunPower,  have  set  up  risk 
management  and  severe  impact  prevention  measures  specific  to 
their  organizations  and  activities;  those  measures  related  to  Article 
L. 225- 102- 4  of  the  French  Commercial  Code  are  specified  in  the
Group’s  Vigilance  Plan.  In  addition,  for  newly  acquired  companies,
reasonable  vigilance  measures  are  intended  to  be  implemented
progressively  during  the  integration  phase  of  these  companies  into
the Group systems. They do not therefore fall within the scope of the
Vigilance Plan for 2018.

The  Vigilance  Plan  also  covers  the  activities  of  suppliers  of  goods 
and  services  with  which  TOTAL  S.A.  and  its  Subsidiaries  have  an 
established  commercial  relationship,  where  such  activities  are 
associated  with  that  relationship  (hereafter  referred  to  as  the 
“Suppliers”). In accordance with legal provisions, suppliers with which 
the Group does not have an established commercial relationship do 
not fall within the scope of the Plan.

Vigilance Plan 

3.5.2  Severe impact risk mapping 

risk  management 

The  mapping  work  presented  below  was  carried  out  using  the 
Group’s  existing 
tools.  This  work  was 
supplemented  with  regard  to  Suppliers  by  a  mapping  of  the  risks 
related to procurement, by category of goods and services, on the 
basis  of  questionnaires  completed  by  the  managers  of  each 
purchasing category. 

3.5.2.1  Human rights and fundamental freedoms 

The  risks  of  severe  impacts  on  human  rights  and  fundamental 
freedoms have been identified in accordance with the criteria set out 
in the UN Guiding Principles Reporting Framework, namely the scale, 
scope and remediability of the impact. 

This identification work was carried out in 2016 in consultation with 
internal and external stakeholders. The process included in particular 
workshops  with  representatives  of  key  functions  within  the  Group 
and  Subsidiaries  operating  in  sensitive  contexts  or  situations 
particularly exposed to risks related to human rights and fundamental 
freedoms, and a series of interviews with independent third parties 
(GoodCorporation,  International  Alert  and  Collaborative  Learning 
Project). 

As a result, the following risks of severe negative impacts on human 
rights and fundamental freedoms were identified: 

—  forced  labor,  which  corresponds  to  any  work  or  service  which 
people  are  forced  to  do  against  their  will,  under  threat  of 
punishment;  as  well  as  child  labor,  which  is  prohibited  for  any 
person aged under 15, or under 18 for all types of work deemed 
hazardous in accordance with International Labour Organization 
standards; 

—  discrimination, characterized by unfair or unfavorable treatment 
of  people,  particularly  due  to  their  origin,  sex,  age,  disability, 
sexual  and  gender  orientation,  or  membership  of  a  political  or 
religious group, trade union or minority; 

—  non- compliance with fair and safe working conditions, such as 
for  example  the  absence  of  employment  contracts,  excessive 
working hours or lack of decent compensation; 

—  restriction of access to land by neighboring local communities, 
resulting  from  the  Group  having,  for  some  of  its  projects, 
temporary or permanent access to the land that might result in 
the  physical  and/or  economic  displacement  and  relocation  of 
these groups; 

—  impacts  on  the  right  to  health  of  local  communities,  such  as 
noise  and  dust  emissions  and  other  impacts  generated  by  the 
Activities  that  might  have  consequences  for  the  health  of  local 
communities,  their  means  of  subsistence  and  their  access  to 
vital services such as drinking water, for example; and 

—  the  risk  of  disproportionate  use  of  force,  when  intervention  by 
government security forces or private security companies might 
be necessary to protect the Group’s staff and facilities. 

3.5.3  Action Principles 

3.5.2.2  Safety, health and environment 

The Group defines the risk of a severe impact on safety, health or the 
environment  as  the  probability  of  TOTAL’s  Activities  having  a  direct 
and significant impact on the health or safety of employees of Group 
companies, employees of external contractors (1)  and third parties, or 
on sensitive natural environments (2). This risk can materialize gradually 
or suddenly. 

TOTAL has developed safety, health and environment risk assessment 
procedures  and  tools  applicable  to  operate  its  Activities,  such  as 
analyses performed regularly at various levels (Group, activities and/or 
industrial sites): 

—  prior to investment decisions in industrial projects of the Group, 

acquisition and divestment decisions; 

—  during operations; 

—  prior to releasing new substances on the market. 

These analyses have highlighted the following risks of severe impacts: 

—  the risks to the safety of people and to the environment resulting 
from a major industrial accident (on an offshore site, onshore site 
or during the transport of products). These risks are, for example, 
an explosion, fire or leakage, resulting in death or injury and/or 
accidental  pollution  on  a  large  scale  or  at  an  environmentally 
sensitive site; 

—  the risks to the safety of people and to the environment related 
to  the  physical  characteristics  of  oil  and  gas  fields,  particularly 
during drilling operations, which can cause blow outs, explosions, 
fires or other damages; 

—  the risks to the safety of people and to the environment related 
to the overall life cycle of the products manufactured, and to the 
substances and raw materials used; and 

—  the risks associated with transportation, for which the likelihood 
of an operational accident depends not only on the hazardous 
nature  of  the  products  handled,  but  also  on  the  volumes,  the 
length  of  the  journey  and  the  sensitivity  of  the  regions  through 
which they are transported (quality of infrastructure, population 
density, environment). 

Climate change is a global risk for the planet and results from various 
human actions such as energy production and consumption. As an 
energy producer, TOTAL seeks to reduce its direct greenhouse gas 
emissions  resulting  from  its  operated  Activities.  In  addition,  TOTAL 
implements  a  strategy  to  tackle  climate  change  challenges  and 
reports  on  this  in  details,  notably  in  its  statement  of  non-financial 
performance  (refer  to  point  5.6  of  chapter  5),  in  accordance  with 
Article L. 225-102-1 of the French Commercial Code. 

The Group has frameworks that set out the Action principles to be 
followed in order to respect the Group’s values and prevent severe 
impacts on human rights and fundamental freedoms, human health 
and safety and the environment (the “Action Principles”). When the 

legal provisions applicable to the Activities provide less protection than 
the Group’s Action Principles, TOTAL strives under all circumstances 
to give precedence to the latter, while seeking to ensure that it does 
not infringe any applicable mandatory public policy. 

(1)  Refer to the definition in point 5.4.1 of chapter 5. 
(2) Sensitive  natural  environments  include,  in  particular,  remarkable  or  highly  vulnerable  natural  areas,  such  as  the  Arctic,  and/or  areas  covered  by  regulatory  protection  (integral  nature
reserves, central park areas, biotope orders in France, etc.), as well as areas covered by significant regulatory protection such as Protected Area Categories I to IV as defined by the
International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

3.5.3.1  Code of Conduct 

TOTAL’s  Vigilance  Plan  is  based  primarily  on  the  Group’s  Code  of 
Conduct (1),  which  specifies  the  Group’s  values,  including  the  two 
core values of Safety and Respect for the Other, particularly declining 
in  the  areas  of  respect  for  human  rights,  the  environment  and  the 
health and safety of persons. 

The  Code  particularly  sets  forth  the  Group’s  compliance  with  the 
following international standards: 

—  the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; 

—  the  United  Nations  Guiding  Principles  on  Business  &  Human 

Rights; 

—  the principles set out in the International Labour Organization’s 

fundamental conventions; 

—  the principles of the United Nations Global Compact; 

—  the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises; and 

—  the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights. 

The  Code  of  Conduct,  which  can  be  consulted  on  the  Group’s 
website,  is  aimed  at  all  employees  and  external  stakeholders  (host 
countries,  local  communities,  customers,  suppliers,  industrial  and 
commercial partners and shareholders). It was updated in December 
2018. 

3.5.3.2  Safety Health Environment Quality Charter 

The Group ensures that it complies with strict safety, security, health 
and  environment  standards  in  the  performance  of  its  Activities. 
The Safety Health Environment Quality Charter sets out the principles 
that  apply  to  the  conduct  of  its  operations  in  all  of  the  countries 
where it operates. 

As  such,  the  Group’s  Subsidiaries (2) 
implement  a  framework
incorporating  occupational  health  and  safety,  security,  societal
commitment  and  environment  as  well  as  associated  management 
systems (Management And Expectations Standards Towards Robust 
Operations, MAESTRO). 

With  regard  to  safety  at  work,  the  Golden  Rules,  which  were 
established on the basis of feedback and restructured in 2017 into a 
set of “dos and don’ts”, apply to all Group entities, employees and 
Suppliers on site. Each individual must ensure that they are adopted, 
strictly followed and monitored on the ground. Each individual is also 
authorized to use his or her “Stop Card” and stop any work under 
way  in  particular  in  the  case  of  non- compliance  with  any  of  these 
rules. 

3.5.3.3  Fundamental Principles of Purchasing

The  relationship  between  the  Group  and  its  Suppliers  is  based  on 
adherence to the principles set forth in the Code of Conduct and in 
the Fundamental Principles of Purchasing . 

(3)

The Fundamental Principles of Purchasing specify the commitments 
that TOTAL expects from its suppliers in the following areas: respect 
for  human  rights  at  work,  health  protection,  safety  and  security, 
preservation of the environment, prevention of corruption and conflicts 
of  interest  and  fraud,  respect  for  competition  law,  as  well  as  the 
promotion of economic and social development. 

The requirements specified by this document must be communicated 
to  Suppliers  and  be  included  in  or  transposed  into  agreements. 
These principles are available for consultation by all suppliers in both 
French and English on TOTAL’s website. 

3.5.3.4 

Internal control framework 

At the Group, business segment and Subsidiary level, internal controls 
are  based  on  specific  procedures  for  organization,  delegation  of 
responsibilities  and  staff  awareness  and  training,  based  on  the 
framework  of  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the 
Treadway Commission (COSO). 

TOTAL has a Group reference framework that is supplemented by a 
series 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 Group Technology Committee, frameworks for each 
business  segment,  and  a  specific  framework  for  each  significant 
operational entity. 

3.5.4  Organization 

The  Group’s  organization  is  structured  around  three  main  levels: 
Corporate, business segments and operational entities. The Action 
Principles  are  driven  by  the  Executive  Committee.  The  People  and 
Social Responsibility Division headed by a member of the Executive 
Committee  coordinates  the  Group’s  action  in  the  area  of  Human 
Resources, health – safety – environment (HSE), security and societal 
commitments.  Purchases  of  goods  and  services  are  under  the 
authority of an entity in the Total Global Services Branch which also 
reports  to  the  Executive  Committee  member  responsible  for  this 
division. This organization aims to support operational managers in 
the implementation of the Action Principles. Each level is involved in 
and  accountable  for  identifying  and  implementing  the  reasonable 
vigilance measures deemed appropriate. 

3.5.4.1  Ethics Committee 

The  Ethics  Committee  is  a  central  structure  representing  all  of  the 
Group’s business segments. All its members are Group employees 
who  collectively  have  good  knowledge  of  its  activities  and  have 
demonstrated  the  independence  and  impartiality  necessary  for 
carrying out their duties. 

The Ethics Committee is the guarantor of compliance with the Code 
of Conduct and ensures its proper implementation. It is assisted in 
its work by the relevant departments, as well as by a network of local 
Ethics Officers. The Chairperson of the Ethics Committee reports to 
the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TOTAL. The Chairperson 
submits  an  annual  report  to  the  Executive  Committee  and  the 
Governance and Ethics Committee of the Board of Directors. 

Employees  and  stakeholders  can  refer  any  breach  of  the  Code  of 
Conduct  to  the  Ethics  Committee  at  any  time,  in  accordance  with 
the procedure described in point 3.5.7. The members of the Ethics 
Committee are subject to a confidentiality obligation. 

3.5.4.2  Human Rights Committee and Department 

The  Human  Rights  Committee  is  made  up  of  representatives  from 
different  departments  (safety,  purchasing  and  societal  commitment 
in particular) and business segments. It meets several times a year 
and  coordinates  actions  relating  to  human  rights  and  fundamental 
freedoms led by the various business segments and Subsidiaries, in 
line  with  the  Human  Rights  roadmap  approved  by  the  Executive 
Committee. 

(1)  SunPower, a company listed on the NASDAQ in the United States and in which TOTAL has a majority interest, has a Code of professional conduct specific to the company that sets forth 
its values and the ethical principles with which all employees, as well as suppliers and partners, must comply. It covers subjects relating to compliance, integrity and protection of the
company’s assets, as well as certain issues relating to human rights, fundamental freedoms, human health and safety and environment. 

(2)  Hutchinson and SunPower have developed HSE management systems specific to their activities and organization (for example, The Environmental Health Safety & Quality Management 

System). 

(3)  Saft Groupe and SunPower have defined fundamental principles of purchasing specific to their activities (for example, SunPower Supplier Sustainability Guidelines).

Vigilance Plan 

The Human Rights Department, within the Civil Society Engagement 
Division, supports the Group’s operational managers with its expertise 
in  implementing  the  Action  Principles  relating  to  human  rights  and 
fundamental freedoms. 

3.5.4.3  Occupational Health, Safety and 

Environment Division 

Since  2016,  a  single  HSE  Division  combines  the  Group’s 
Occupational Health, Safety and Environment functions. Its role is to 
implement a strong and unified HSE model. 

Within  the  division,  the  HSE  Departments  of  the  Exploration  & 
Production,  Gas,  Renewables  &  Power,  Refining  &  Chemicals  and 
Marketing  &  Services  segments  are  in  particular  responsible  for 
supporting  the  implementation  of  the  Group’s  HSE  policy.  Specific 
expert  units  set  up  in  2016  cover  the  following  areas:  major  risks, 
human and organizational factors, environmental and societal issues, 
transportation  and  storage,  crisis  management  and  pollution 
prevention, standards and legislation, audits and feedback. 

3.5.4.4  Procurement 

Since  January  1,  2017,  a  dedicated  subsidiary,  Total  Global 
Procurement centralizes management of a large part of the Group’s 
goods and services purchasing (1), whether for categories of products 
or  services  specific  to  one  business  activity  or  categories  shared 
between several business activities. In the Subsidiaries, purchasers 
implement  framework  agreements  as  well  as  manage  local 
procurement. 

A  Responsible  Purchasing  Committee  meets  at  least  once  a  year 
and  brings  together  the  Management  Committee  of  Total  Global 
Procurement and the Civil Society Engagement (including the Human 
Rights Department), HSE and Legal Divisions as well as the Ethics 
Committee  in  order  to  monitor  implementation  of  the  Group’s 
Responsible  Purchasing  roadmap.  The  roadmap  sets  out  the 
strategic direction of the Responsible Purchasing working group. 

Furthermore,  the  Vetting  department  of  Trading  &  Shipping  defines 
and applies the selection criteria for the tankers and barges used to 
transport the Group’s liquid petroleum or chemical products and gas 
products, in order to ascertain their technical qualities relative to the 
best international standards, the crews’ experience and the quality 
of the ship owners’ technical management. 

3.5.5  Assessment procedures 

The Group has set up procedures for assessing its Subsidiaries and 
Suppliers, particularly in conjunction with independent bodies, which 
help  identify  and  prevent  risks  of  severe  impacts  on  human  rights 
and fundamental freedoms, human health and safety. 

3.5.5.1  Procedures for assessing Subsidiaries 

HSE assessments 

The Audit and Feedback Unit within the central HSE Division is a key 
component  of  HSE  governance.  It  steers  the  internal  control 
mechanisms  intended  to  verify  compliance  with  the  Group’s  HSE 
requirements. 

This mechanism is organized around a self- assessment to be carried 
out by the Subsidiaries at least every two years and an assessment 
every three to five years conducted by the Audit unit and feedback 
based on an audit protocol. The objective is to identify potential gaps 
in the application of the rules by the Subsidiairies and to enable them 
to define and implement improvement actions. 

This unit is also in charge of analysis of major incidents and management 
of feedback. 

Additionally,  the  Management  Committee  of  each  of  the  Group’s 
business  segments  performs  monitoring  of  its  major  risk  analyses 
and of the progress of the associated action plans. 

Lastly, the HSE Division steers the measurement and reporting work 
relating  to  greenhouse  gas  emissions  resulting  from  the  Activities. 
These direct greenhouse gas measurements (Scope 1) are published 
in section 3.5.9.2 of this Chapter. 

Assessments regarding human rights and fundamental 
freedoms 

Since 2002, the Group has engaged GoodCorporation, a company 
specialized in ethical assessments, to verify the proper application of 
the principles set out in the Code of Conduct at the Subsidiary level. 
These  assessments  include  criteria  relating  to  human  rights  and 
fundamental  freedoms,  and  corruption.  As  part  of  the  process,  a 
selection of employees and external stakeholders of the Subsidiary 
are questioned to understand how their Activities are perceived locally. 
Following  the  assessment,  the  Subsidiary  in  question  defines  and 
implements an action plan and a monitoring procedure. 

Furthermore, TOTAL works with the Danish Institute for Human Rights 
(DIHR), an independent national body for the defense and promotion 
of  human  rights  and  fundamental  freedoms,  which  assesses  the 
impact on human rights and fundamental freedoms of the Group’s 
activities in sensitive contexts. 

In some cases, the Group works with independent experts such as 
CDA,  a  company  specialized  in  preventing  and  managing  conflict 
between businesses and local communities. The reports by CDA are 
published online on its website. 

Lastly, an annual self- assessment questionnaire enables each of the 
Group’s Subsidiaries and operational entities to measure and evaluate 
the level of implementation of their societal governance on the field. 
Actions involving dialogue, impact management and the contribution 
to  socioeconomic  and  cultural  development  are  recorded  and 
analyzed. 

3.5.5.2  Procedures for assessing Suppliers 

The Supplier qualification process was harmonized at Group level in 
2017  by  Total  Global  Procurement.  A  new  internal  framework  was 
published  in  2018.  In  particular,  it  was  used  to  set  up  a  new  IT 
qualification tool to be deployed progressively within the Group which 
also  will  serve  as  a  consolidated  database.  The  framework  covers 
human rights, environment, health and safety. 

Depending on the results of a risk analysis carried out by Suppliers, 
a  detailed  assessment  is  performed.  It  includes  questionnaires 
addressing the aforementioned issues and, if needed, an action plan, 
a technical inspection of the site by employees or an audit of working 
conditions carried out by a specialist service provider with which a 
framework agreement was signed in 2016. Crude oil and petroleum 
product  purchasing  by  Trading  &  Shipping,  gas  and  electricity 
purchasing  by  the  subsidiary  Total  Gas  &  Power  Ltd,  and  the 
purchases  made  by  the  Subsidiaries  Hutchinson,  Saft  Groupe  and 
SunPower are subject to Supplier qualification processes specific to 
their organizations. 

This  qualification  process  may  be  completed  if  needed  by  specific 
organizations,  such  as  the  unit  put  in  place  in  the  Group  as  from 
September  2018  for  the  selection  of  palm  oil  suppliers.  This  unit 
aims  to  ensure  that  palm  oil  purchases  are  made  on  the  basis  of 
sustainability certifications such as the ISCC EU certification. 

(1)  With the exception of purchases made by the Subsidiaries Hutchinson, Saft Groupe and SunPower. Total Global Procurement made purchases from over 100,000 suppliers worldwide in 

2018.

RISKS AND CONTROL 

Vigilance Plan  3 

This  type  of  certification  incorporates  criteria  relating  to  carbon 
footprint, anti- deforestation, good use of land and respect for human 
rights. In addition to this mandatory certification, suppliers must have 
signed  the  Fundamental  principles  of  purchasing  and  be  members 
of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). 

As regards the chartering of tankers and barges, any operation that 
involves tankers or barges calling at a terminal operated by a Group 
Subsidiary, carrying shipments that belong to the Group or chartered 
by TOTAL must be approved in advance by the Vetting department. 
Responses are given on the basis of technical data and independently 

of  any  commercial  considerations.  The  audits  conducted  with  ship 
owners  also  permit  the  assessment  of  the  quality  of  the  technical 
management systems implemented by the operators, crew selection 
and training, as well as the support provided to vessels. 

Through the annual inspections performed by inspectors representing 
the Group, TOTAL is actively involved in sharing inspection reports 
with other international oil and gas companies through the SIRE (ship 
inspection  report)  Program  set  up  by  the  OCIMF  (Oil  Companies 
International  Marine  Forum),  thus  contributing  to  the  continuous 
improvement of petroleum shipping safety. 

3.5.6  Awareness and training actions 

3.5.6.1  Awareness and training of Group employees 

The  Group  has  put  in  place  a  variety  of  communication  and 
information channels enabling all employees of TOTAL S.A. and its 
Subsidiaries to have access to the Action Principles defined by the 
Group in relation to human rights and fundamental freedoms, health, 
safety and the environment. 

The  Code  of  Conduct  is  distributed  to  all  employees  and  can  be 
consulted on the Group’s website. All new employees must confirm 
that they are familiar with it. 

Events  such  as  the  annual  Business  Ethics  Day  are  used  to  raise 
awareness  among  employees  of  TOTAL  S.A.  and  its  Subsidiaries. 
Practical  guides  are  available  on  the  Group’s  intranet,  such  as  the 
Human Rights Guide and the Guide to dealing with religious questions 
within the Group, to help Group employees apply the commitments 
provided for in the Code of Conduct in each individual cases. 

The  HSE  Division  organizes  the  Group’s  World  Safety  Day,  which 
aims to bring teams on board and raise awareness of ways to put 
the  HSE  Action  Principles  into  practice.  The  Group’s  employees 
implement  its  safety  culture  on  a  day- to- day  basis  through  “Safety 
Moments”  at  the  beginning  of  meetings  or  before  hazardous 
operations, consisting of a short discussion to reiterate the key safety 
messages and align participants with mutual commitments. 

Training courses, incorporating on- line educational programs as well 
as technical training tailored to the various business segments, are 
offered to all Group employees. 

Dedicated human rights and fundamental freedoms training programs 
have  been  set  up  for  senior  executives,  site  directors  and  the 
employees  most  exposed  to  these  issues.  Awareness- raising 
sessions on these subjects are organised regularly for employees, as 
is the case at the time of ethical assessments of Subsidiaries. In the 
field of procurement, training modules explaining the Group’s ethical 
commitments  and  the  Fundamental  Principles  of  Purchasing  have 
also been developed for the Group’s purchasers. 

3.5.7  Whistleblowing mechanisms 

3 

Similarly,  training  programs  in  the  fields  of  health,  safety  and 
environment have been rolled out within the Group reflecting different 
perspectives:  general,  by  type  of  activities  or  by  subject  areas. 
For example, the following general training actions exist depending 
on  the  level  of  responsibility  and  experience  in  the  Group:  HSE 
Leadership for Group senior executives, HSE training for managers, 
and Safety Pass training for new recruits. 

3.5.6.2  Awareness and training of Suppliers 

The Fundamental Principles of Purchasing are brought to the attention 
of Suppliers as of their registration in the Supplier database. 

Training  initiatives  are  also  undertaken  with  the  Group’s  Suppliers, 
such  as  the  responsible  security  training  given  to  safety  service 
providers’  personnel,  and  the  Safety  Contract  Owners  program, 
which brings together more than 650 suppliers at the Group level. 

3.5.6.3 

Information on product risks 

All of the chemical and petroleum products marketed by the Group 
are  covered  by  a  safety  data  sheet  prepared  in  accordance  with 
applicable  regulations.  The  packaged  products  are 
labelled 
accordingly. 

Each safety data sheet provides comprehensive information on the 
substances  or  mixtures  usable  in  the  regulatory  framework  of 
managing chemicals in the workplace. It enables users to identify the 
risks linked to handling such products, particularly regarding safety 
and the environment, in order to implement any measures necessary 
to protect people and the environment. 

Safety  data  sheets  are  available  to  carriers  of  dangerous  goods, 
emergency services, poison control centers, as well as professional 
and industrial customers. Consumers are informed of the risks and 
precautions of use through product labelling. 

To support employees on a day- to- day basis, the Group encourages 
a  climate  of  dialogue  and  trust  that  enables  individuals  to  express 
their  opinions  and  concerns.  Employees  can  thus  go  to  their  line 
manager, an HR or other manager, their Compliance Officer or their 
Ethics Officer. 

The  Group’s  employees  and  Suppliers,  as  well  as  any  other 
external  stakeholder,  can  contact  the  Ethics  Committee  to  ask 
questions  or  report  any  incident  where  there  is  a  risk  of 
non- compliance with the Code of Conduct using the generic email 

address (ethics@total.com). The system is supplemented by specific 
whistleblowing  mechanisms  implemented  at  certain  subsidiaries 
(SunPower, Hutchinson). 

The Group’s Suppliers can also contact the internal supplier mediator 
using  a  generic  email  address  (mediation.fournisseurs@total.com). 
The mediator is available to Suppliers and purchasers, and restores 
dialogue  to  find  solutions  when  measures  taken  with  the  usual 
contact have been unsuccessful.

RISKS AND CONTROL 

Vigilance Plan 

Grievance handling procedures are also in place within the Group in 
order  to  receive  and  facilitate  the  resolution  of  concerns  and 
grievances of local communities that may be affected by its Activities. 

As  regards  HSE,  an  on- call  system  has  been  set  upto  alert  the 
directors of the business segments and of the Group as quickly as 
possible in the case of a major incident. Depending on the incident, 
a crisis management and monitoring process is put in place (refer to 
point 3.3.3.1). 

3.5.8  Monitoring procedures 

To ensure the continuous updating of the Vigilance Plan, TOTAL relies 
on existing monitoring procedures and tools relating to human rights, 
safety, health and environment made available to the Subsidiaries. 

Thus, the system of internal reporting and of indicators for monitoring 
implementation of the actions undertaken in the Group in these areas 
is based: 

—  for  social  indicators  (including,  in  particular,  health),  on  a  guide 
entitled “Corporate Social Reporting Protocol and Methodology”; 

—  for industrial safety indicators, on a Group rule concerning event 
and statistical reporting; a feedback analysis process identifies, in 
particular, events for which a structured analysis report is required 
in order to learn lessons in terms of design and operation; and 

—  for  environmental  indicators,  on  a  Group  reporting  procedure, 

together with activity- specific instructions. 

Consolidated  objectives  are  defined  for  each  key  indicator  and 
reviewed annually. The business segments apply these indicators as 
appropriate to their area of responsibility, analyze the results and set 
out a plan. 

All of the procedures enable regular monitoring of actions and areas 
for  improvement  to  be  implemented  in  the  area  of  human  rights, 
safety, health and environment. The Group Performance Management 
Committee  (refer  to  point  4.1.5.2  of  chapter  4)  is  involved  in  this 
approach. In particular, it is responsible for examining, analyzing and 
steering  the  Group’s  HSE,  financial  and  operational  results  on  a 
quarterly basis. 

In addition, the committee responsible for monitoring the CSR Global 
Agreement  signed  by  TOTAL  in  2015,  known  as  the  “FAIR 
Committee”,  meets  every  year  in  the  presence  of  representatives 
who are members of trade unions affiliated to the IndustriALL Global 
Union (refer to points 5.3.3.3 and 5.10.3 of Chapter 5) and appointed 
by this federation to monitor and implement the agreement. It identifies 
good  practice  and  areas  for  improvement  in  the  fields  of  safety, 
health, human rights and fundamental freedoms. 

Additionally,  the  Group  publishes  a  Human  Rights  information 
document  that  describes  the  Group’s  Activities’  major  impacts  on 
human rights and fundamental freedoms and the remedial measures 
taken. In 2016, TOTAL became the first company in the oil industry 
to have published this document in accordance with the UN Guiding 
Principles Reporting Framework. It is available on the Group’s website 
and was updated in 2018. 

Since 2015, TOTAL also publishes a report to assess the progress 
made in the implementation of the Voluntary Principles on Security 
and Human Rights. The information set out in the report is based on 
annual  reporting  organized  by  the  Security  Division  that  brings 
together  the  results  of  the  risk  and  compliance  analyses  for  each 
subsidiary operating in a sensitive context. 

Lastly,  in  September  2018  TOTAL  published  the  third  edition  of  its 
“Integrating  climate  in  our  strategy”  brochure  dedicated  to  the 
consideration  of  climate  issues  and  detailing  the  Group’s  lines  of 
action in this area. 

3.5.9  Report on implementation of the Vigilance Plan (1) 

3.5.9.1  Human rights and fundamental freedoms 

In its activities 

TOTAL’s human rights approach is based on written commitments. It 
is  supported  by  a  dedicated  organization,  and  embedded  through 
an  awareness- raising  and  training  program,  as  well  as  evaluation 
and follow- up mechanisms aiming at measuring the effectiveness of 
the Group’s actions. 

A) Human rights in the workplace

The prohibition of forced and child labor, non- discrimination, just and 
favorable  conditions  of  work,  as  well  as  safety  all  form  part  of  the 
principles  set  out  in  TOTAL’s  Code  of  Conduct  and  Human  Rights 
Guide. 

TOTAL’s  commitment  to  human  rights  in  the  workplace  is 
demonstrated, in particular, by the signature of various agreements, 
such as the one concluded with IndustriALL Global Union (2) in 2015. 
In particular, this agreement covers the promotion of human rights in 
the  workplace,  diversity,  the  participation  of  employees  and  their 
representatives in social dialogue and the recognition of health and 
safety  at  work  as  absolute  priorities  in  the  Group’s  activities  and 
global supply chain. 

TOTAL cares about the working conditions of its employees which 
are governed by the Group’s Human Resources policy (refer to point 
5.3 of chapter 5). 

Safety is one of the Group’s core values. Over the last few years, the 
Group  has  continued  to  develop  occupational  health  and  safety 
standards focusing on the right to enjoy fair and adequate living and 
working conditions (refer to point 3.5.9.2 of this chapter). 

TOTAL is committed to promoting diversity and endeavors to combat 
all forms of discrimination (origin, gender, sexual orientation, handicap, 
age,  membership  in  a  union  or  a  political  or  religious  organization, 
etc.).  The  Diversity  Council,  which  is  chaired  by  a  member  of  the 
Executive Committee, illustrates this commitment. 

In 2017, TOTAL published a “Practical guide to dealing with religious 
questions within the Group” in order to provide practical solutions to 
the  questions  raised  by  the  Group’s  employees  and  managers 
worldwide. It draws on the experiences of the business segments in 
various countries and encourages dialog, respect and listening as a 
way to find solutions suited to the local context. Many internal and 
external experts helped draft this document, including representatives 
of various religious communities. This guide has been translated into 
nine languages. 

(1)  Refer to point 5.11 of chapter 5 concerning the reporting ‘s scope and medology concerning information provided in point 3.5.9 of this chapter. Since the identification of risks and the 
prevention of severe impacts on human rights, human health and safety and the environment overlap partially with certain risks covered in the non-financial performance statement (refer 
to chapter 5), TOTAL has chosen to report on the implementation of its Vigilance Plan by incorporating certain aspects of its non-financial performance statement although it includes risks 
of varying degrees.

Vigilance Plan

In addition to the Group’s reporting and internal control system, the 
working  conditions  of  TOTAL’s  employees  are  evaluated  by 
GoodCorporation, an independent third party, as part of the ethical 
assessments of the Group’s entities. 

In the Group’s value chain 

The  Fundamental  Principles  of  Purchasing  (FPP)  set  out  the 
commitments expected from suppliers in various domains, including 
human rights in the workplace and safety. A Group directive reaffirms 
the obligation to annex the FPP or to transpose them in the selection 
process as well as in the contracts concluded with suppliers of goods 
or services. 

The  prevention  of  forced  and  child  labor  in  the  supply  chain  is  a 
critical  point  of  attention  identified  in  the  2017- 2018  human  rights 
roadmap endorsed by the Executive Committee. TOTAL has therefore 
developed a new methodology for selecting its suppliers which takes 
account the risks of human rights violations, in particular forced and 
child labor. In September 2016, TOTAL also entered into a partnership 
with a third- party service provider in charge of evaluating suppliers’ 
practices with regard to fundamental rights in the workplace (refer to 
point 3.5.9.5 of this chapter). 

Finally, the working conditions of the employees of service stations’ 
dealers  are  evaluated  by  GoodCorporation,  an  independent  third 
party,  as  part  of  the  ethical  assessments  conducted  in  the  Group 
entities. Between 2016 and 2017, a baseline study of 22 affiliates in 
the  Marketing  &  Services  segment  across  different  continents  was 
also  conducted.  One  of  the  main  recommendations  identified  is  to 
improve service station dealers’ awareness of the Group’s Code of 
Conduct  principles  and  of  the  fundamental  Conventions  of  the 
International Labor Organization. In response, Marketing & Services 
is developing educational tools, which should be promoted in 2019 
to this business segment’s entities. 

B) Human rights and local communities

TOTAL’s operational activities may have impacts on the rights of local 
communities,  in  particular  when  TOTAL  obtains  temporary  or 
permanent access to their land for Group’s projects that may involve 
the  physical  and/or  economic  displacement  of  these  populations. 
Noise and dust emissions and other potential impacts may also have 
consequences  on  the  livelihood  of  neighboring  communities. 
Consequently, the access to land of local communities and their right 
to health and an adequate standard of living are two salient issues 
for TOTAL. 

In accordance with internationally recognized human rights standards, 
TOTAL requires the Group entities to maintain a regular dialogue with 
their stakeholders and make sure that their activities have no negative 
consequences on local communities or, if these cannot be avoided, 
that they limit, mitigate and remedy them. The solutions proposed in 
response to the expectations of local communities are coordinated 
by the societal teams that work in close collaboration with the legal, 
safety and environmental teams. The Group’s approach to this topic 
is  described  in  the  section  on  societal  issues  of  the  non-financial 
performance Statement in point 5.9 of chapter 5. 

C) Respect for human rights in security- related activities

In  certain  situations,  intervention  by  government  security  forces  or 
private security providers might be necessary to protect TOTAL staff 
and  assets.  In  order  to  prevent  any  misuse  of  force,  TOTAL  asks 
Group employees, private security providers and government security 
forces to implement the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human 
Rights (VPSHR) issued by States, NGOs and Extractive Companies. 

TOTAL  has  been  a  member  of  this  initiative  since  2012.  Within 
this  framework,  the  Group  publishes  an  annual  report  setting 
out the challenges, lessons learned and good practices in relation to 
security  and  human  rights  and,  if  applicable,  reports  any  incidents 
associated  with  the  Group’s  activities.  This  report  is  available  at 
sustainable- performance.total.com
. 

Self- assessment  and  risk  analysis  tools  have  been  developed  and 
are deployed, in particular, in the entities located in high risk countries 
and conflict zones. 

When  government  security  forces  are  deployed  to  ensure  the 
protection of the Group’s staff and assets, the Group entities maintain 
an ongoing dialogue with the representatives of national or regional 
authorities in order to raise their awareness on the need to respect 
the  VPSHR  and  encourage  them  to  sign  memorandums  of 
understanding that comply with these principles. 

TOTAL  regularly  organizes  training  sessions  and  awareness- raising 
activities on the risk of misuse of force, and more generally on the 
VPSHR,  for  its  staff,  private  security  providers  and  government 
security  forces.  In  2018,  TOTAL  partnered  with  other  Extractive 
Companies  and  the  Myanmar  Center  for  Responsible  Business  to 
organize two VPSHR awareness workshops for government officials, 
private security providers and NGOs in Myanmar. 

3.5.9.2  Personal health and safety 

TOTAL places safety at the heart of its ambition to be a responsible 
company. The measures and indicators used to manage the Group’s 
activities  are  based  on  this  fundamental  value,  in  accordance  with 
the strictest standards, particularly relating to health. 

A) Preventing occupational accidents

The  Group’s  personal  safety  policy  covers  three  main  areas: 
preventing  occupational  accidents,  preventing  transport  accidents, 
and preventing accidents linked to technological risks, such as fires 
and  explosions.  It  relates  to  all  employees  of  Group  subsidiaries, 
employees of external contractors working on these entities’ sites as 
well as employees of transport companies under long- term contracts. 
The safety results are monitored with the same vigilance for all. 

Indicators  defined  according  to  an  internal  procedure  measure  the 
main results. In addition to its aim of zero fatalities in the exercise of 
its activities, the Group has set the target of continuously reducing 
the  TRIR (1)  and,  for  2018,  of  keeping  it  below  0.9  for  all  personnel 
(Group and External Contractors).

The Group’s safety efforts over more than 10 years have resulted in a 
significant  improvement  in  the  TRIR  and  LTIR.  Performance  has 
stabilized  since  2016,  mainly  due  to  acquisitions  and  disposals  of 
assets  or  subsidiaries.  The  gradual  implementation  of  the  One 
MAESTRO framework aims to strengthen the Group’s safety culture 
and  create  a  new  drive  to  improve  safety  results.  Despite  the 
measures put in place, in 2018 three accidents resulted in the death 
of four employees working for external contractors: one during road 
transport in Ethiopia, one during a handling operation in the Republic 
of the Congo, and two during an operation to recommission a fuel 
storage tank in Egypt. 

Generally, an analysis is launched in response to any type of accident 
whatsoever. The method and scope of the analysis depend on the 
actual or potential severity of the event. Consequently, a near miss 
with a high severity potential is treated as a severe accident, and its 
analysis is considered an essential factor of progress. Depending on 
its relevance to the other Group entities, it triggers a safety alert and 
the distribution of a feedback form, depending on the circumstances. 

Regarding  occupational  safety,  since  2010,  the  basic  rules  to  be 
scrupulously  followed  by  all  personnel,  employees  and  contractors 
alike, in all of the Group’s businesses worldwide, are described in the 
document  “Safety  at  Work:  TOTAL’s  Twelve  Golden  Rules”,  which 
has been widely circulated within the Group. 

The aim of the Golden Rules is to set out simple, easy- to- remember 
rules that cover a large number of occupational accidents. In addition, 
further  rules  can  be  found  in  the  One  MAESTRO  HSE  framework, 
the business segment frameworks and the subsidiary frameworks. 

According  to  the  Group’s  internal  statistics,  in  more  than  44%  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  Stop  Card  system,  which  was  set  up  in  2015, 
also enables any employee of the Group or an external contractor to 
intervene if any of the Golden Rules is not being followed. In addition, 
in  2016,  the  HSE  department  created  a  unit  bringing  together  the 
reference  persons  on  high- risk  operations  (work  at  height,  lifting, 
high- pressure  cleaning,  excavations,  etc.)  in  order  to  consolidate 
in- house knowledge and relations with contractors. 

The  reporting  of  anomalies  and  near  misses  (approximately 
600,000  per  year)  is  strongly  encouraged  on  a  daily  basis  and  is 
permanently  monitored.  The  ability  of  each  employee  to  identify 
anomalies  or  dangerous  situations  is  one  of  the  measures  of  the 
employees’  involvement  and  vigilance  in  accident  prevention  and 
reflects the safety culture within the Group. In 2016, the Group HSE 
Department also created a unit aimed at providing support for sites 
to improve their safety culture upon their request. 

Regarding  road  transport,  for  many  years  the  Group  has  been 
monitoring  the  number  of  severe  road  accidents  involving  its 
employees and those of external contractors. The actions taken have 
reduced  the  number  of  severe  accidents  between  2016  and  2018 
by 33%. Work began in new areas in 2018, particularly relating to the 
use  of  new  technologies  in  accident  prevention  (defining  a  new 
standard for the light vehicles used, driver fatigue detection) and the 
assessment of the driver support and assistance systems offered by 
manufacturers  (automatic  emergency  braking,  lane  keeping  assist, 
lane change assist, etc.).

With regard to technological risks (also known as “major” industrial 
risks), the risk analysis and prevention actions are described in point 
3.5.9.3.B of this chapter. 

Whatever  the  nature  of  the  accident,  prevention  actions  rely  on  all 
employees  abiding  by  the  Group’s  safety  policies.  These  are 
disseminated through training courses aimed at the various groups 
of employees (new arrivals, managers, senior executives, etc.). 

As TOTAL’s core value, Safety has been a component of the Group’s 
employee compensation policy since 2011. A portion of the variable 
compensation received by employees, as well as by senior executives 
and  the  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer,  depends  on  the 
achievement  of  HSE  targets  (refer  to  point  4.3.2  of  chapter  4  and 
point 5.3.1 of chapter 5). 

With regard to security, the Group has put in place means to analyze 
threats and assess risks in order to take preventive measures to limit 
its exposure to security risks in the countries where it operates. 

B) Preventing occupational health risks through

improved assessment

With  regard  to  prevention  of  occupational  health  risks,  the  Group 
implements a policy that defines the risk assessment methodology 
to be applied by all Group entities and subsidiaries. The associated 
Group  directive  stipulates  that  the  assessment  includes  chemical, 
physical,  biological,  ergonomic  and  psychosocial  risks,  and  that  it 
must result in the design and roll- out of an action plan. In addition, it 
requires that each Group entity sets out a formal medical monitoring 
procedure  taking  into  account  the  requirements  under  local  law 
(frequency, type of examination, etc.) and the level of exposure of its 
personnel to the various risks. 

To  complement  this  program,  the  Group  has  set  up  an  employee 
health observatory. The aim is to monitor the health of a sample of 
employees  in  order  to  identify  the  emergence  of  certain  illnesses 
and,  if  applicable,  suggest  appropriate  preventive  measures.  The 
data  is  gathered  anonymously  during  medical  examinations  and 
covers approximately 12% of Group employees worldwide. 

The  Group  also  has  a  Medical  Advisory  Committee  that  meets 
regularly to discuss key health issues relating to the Group’s activities. 
It  decides  whether  there  is  a  need  for  additional  health  protection 
strategies to be implemented. It consists of external scientific experts 
and  also  brings  together  the  Group’s  senior  executives  and 
stakeholders concerned by these issues.

In terms of prevention, the Group has decided to make psychosocial 
risk prevention a priority commitment. In 2018, the Group identified 
four areas of progress worldwide: 

—  a minimum level of awareness and training for all; 

—  a  system  for  measuring  stress  and  the  quality  of  the  social 

climate, facilitating the production of action plans; 

—  a  system  for  listening  to  and  supporting  employees  in  difficult 

situations; 

—  coordination of actions and monitoring of indicators. 

A  Quality  of  Life  at  Work  and  Health  working  group  was  set  up  in 
September 2018 to coordinate and ensure the effectiveness of all of 
the actions taken. Led by the Group Human Resources division, all 
of  TOTAL’s  business  segments  are  represented,  particularly  the 
international  medical  department.  Its  first  task  is  to  create  and  roll 
out  a  Worldwide  Psychosocial  Risk  (PSR)  Prevention  program  that 
addresses the four areas for progress. 

Regarding the priority commitment to training, a fully updated PSR 
pack aimed at entity managers, prevention contributors and managers 
was finalized in 2018. Approved by international experts, it has now 
been translated into 11 languages and is the core material for training 
on this subject. The pack consists of two guides: a methodological 
guide for entity managers and anyone with a role in PSR prevention, 
and  a  practical  guide  for  managers  to  raise  awareness  of  the 
importance of the quality of life at work as a key factor in preventing 
PSRs. It also aims to support them in the day- to- day management 
of  their  teams  in  the  event  of  difficulties,  risky  situations  and  crisis 
situations. 

On  a  broader  level,  TOTAL  is  helping  to  promote  individual  and 
collective  health  programs  in  the  countries  where  it  operates, 
including vaccination campaigns and screening programs for certain 
diseases  (AIDS,  cancer,  malaria,  etc.)  for  employees,  their  families 
and  local  communities.  Action  is  also  taken  regularly  to  raise 
awareness of lifestyle risks (anti- smoking and anti- drinking campaigns, 
etc.). 

The  Group  has  put  in  place  the  following  indicators  to  monitor  the 
performance of its program: 

Health indicators (WHRS scope) 

2018         2017         2016 

Percentage of employees with 
specific occupational risks benefiting 
from regular medical monitoring (a)

Number of occupational illnesses 
recorded in the year (in accordance
with local regulations)

          98%        98%  

99% 

154         143         108 

(a)  As an exception to the reporting principles described in section 5.11 of chapter 5, the 2018 
rate does not include a company that did not report its data in time for the 2018 WHRS. 

Reporting  on  occupational  illnesses  covers  only  the  Group’s 
personnel  (WHRS  scope)  and  illnesses  reported  according  to  the 
regulations applicable in the country of operation of each entity. 

Musculoskeletal disorders, the main cause of occupational illnesses 
in  the  Group,  represented  69%  of  all  recorded  illnesses  in  2018, 
against  68%  in  2017.  Therefore,  in  addition  to  ergonomic  risk 
assessments and the gradual training of personnel on its sites, the 
annual Group Industrial Hygiene Day in December 2017 was on the 
theme of Ergonomics and Musculoskeletal disorders. 

The  annual  Group  Industrial  Hygiene  day  held  in  September  2018 
was dedicated to asbestos and refractory ceramic fibers. 

C) Minimizing the risks throughout the life cycle of

products to prevent consumer health and safety risks

Unless certain precautions are taken, some of the products marketed 
by TOTAL pose potential risks to the health and safety of consumers. 
The  Group  therefore  aims  to  meet  its  obligations  with  regard  to 
information and prevention in order to minimize the risks throughout 
the life cycle of its products. 

TOTAL’s  health  and  products  directive  sets  out  the  minimum 
requirements to be observed by the Group’s entities and subsidiaries 
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.  The  material  safety  data  sheets  (MSDS)  that  accompany  the 
products  marketed  by  the  Group  (in  at  least  one  of  the  languages 
used in the country) as well as product labels are two key sources of 
information. All new products comply with the regulatory requirements 
in the countries and markets for which they are intended. 

3.5.9.3  Environment 

TOTAL places the environment at the heart of its ambition of being a 
responsible  company.  In  light  of  the  specific  nature  of  its  activities, 
the  Group’s  operations  pose  risks  for  which  TOTAL  develops 
structured management systems. 

Environmental  indicators  have  been  monitored  for  many  years  in 
order  to  constantly  adapt  the  Group’s  environmental  protection 
measures, which are presented in this section. 

A) General policy and environmental targets

TOTAL considers the respect for the environment to be a priority. All 
employees,  at  every  level,  must  do  their  utmost  to  protect  the 
environment as they go about their work. TOTAL strives to control its 
energy  consumption,  its  emissions  in  natural  environments  (water, 
air,  soil),  its  residual  waste  production,  its  use  of  natural  resources 
and  its  impact  on  biodiversity.  With  regards  to  the  environment, 
TOTAL takes a constructive approach that is based on transparency 
and  dialogue  when  communicating  with  its  stakeholders  and  third 
parties. 

To  this  end,  the  HSE  division  and  the  HSE  departments  within  the 
Group’s entities seek to ensure both applicable local regulations and 
internal  requirements  resulting  from  the  Safety  Health  Environment 
Quality  Charter  and  the  Group’s  additional  commitments  are 
respected. Group steering bodies, led by the HSE division, are tasked 
with: 

—  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 of which they are in charge; and 

—  promoting  the  internal  standards  to  be  applied  by  the  Group’s 

operational entities.

  RISKS AND CONTROL 

Risk Factors 

The Group’s environmental targets (a): 

What has been accomplished: 

—  decrease SO2 air emissions by 50% between 2010 and 2020; 

—  more  than  50%  reduction  in  SO2  air  emissions  reached 

—  maintain  hydrocarbon  content  of  water  discharges  below 
30 mg/l for offshore sites and below 15 mg/l for onshore and 
coastal sites; 

—  valorize more than 50% of the waste produced by the sites 

operated by the Group. 

Moreover, the Group is committed to: 

—  systematically develop biodiversity action plans for production 

sites located in protected areas (1); 

—  not conducting oil and gas exploration or production operations 
in  the  area  of  natural  sites  listed  on  the  UNESCO  World 
Heritage List (2); 

—  not  conducting  exploration  in  oil  fields  under  sea  ice  in  the 

Arctic. 

(a)  For climate, refer to point 3.5.9.4.D of this chapter. 

since 2017; 

—  100%  of  the  Group’s  oil  sites  have  met  the  target  for  the 
quality  of  onshore  discharges  since  2016  and  96%  of  the 
Group’s oil sites have met the target for the quality of offshore 
discharges in 2018; 

—  more than 50% of the waste produced by the sites operated 

by the Group was valorized in 2018; 

—  5 biodiversity action plans deployed or in preparation in 2018; 

—  no oil and gas exploration or production activity in the area of 
natural sites listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List (2); 

—  no exploration activity in oil fields under sea ice in the Arctic. 

The  Group’s  internal  requirements  state  that  the  environmental 
management systems of its operated sites that are important for the 
environment (3)  must  be  ISO  14001  certified  within  two  years  of 
start- up of operations or acquisition: 100% of these 71 sites were in 
conformity in 2018. Beyond these internal requirements, at the end 
of  2018,  a  total  of  264  sites  operated  by  the  Group  were 
ISO  14001  certified.  In  2018,  the  Moho  Nord  site  (Republic  of  the 
Congo) has been ISO 14001 certified. 

All investment, divestment or acquisition projects which are submitted 
to the Executive Committee for approval are assessed and reviewed 
with  regards  to  their  risks  and  impact,  particularly  environmental, 
before the final investment decision is made. 

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). 

B) Preventing incident risks

To  prevent  incident  risks  and,  in  particular,  major  industrial  events, 
TOTAL  carries  out  periodic  risk  assessments  and  implements 
adapted risk- management policies and measures. 

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  technological  risk 
management policy. This management draws on a shared approach 
in all segments 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  these  risks.  In  addition  to  its  drilling  and 
pipeline  transport  operations,  the  Group  has  at  the  end  of 
2018 195 sites and operating zones exposed to major technological 
risks, which could cause harm or damage to people, property and 
the environment, corresponding to: 

—  all the offshore and onshore operating activities in Exploration & 

Production; and 

—  the Seveso classified industrial sites (upper and lower threshold) 
and  their  equivalents  outside  the  EU  (excluding  Exploration  & 
Production). 

This  approach  first  sets  out  an  analysis  of  the  risks  related  to  the 
Group’s  industrial  operations,  on  each  site,  based  on  incident 
scenarios for which the probability of occurrence and the severity of 
the consequences are assessed. 

Second, 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. 

The management of major technological risks also hinges on: 

—  staff training and raising awareness; 

—  a coherent event reporting and indicators system; 

—  systematic, structured serious event analysis, particularly to learn 

lessons in terms of design and operation; 

—  regularly tested contingency plans and measures. 

In terms of monitoring indicators, the Group reports the number of 
Tier  1  and  Tier  2  events  as  defined  by  the  API  and  the  IOGP.  The 
Group  set  itself  a  loss  of  primary  containment  target  of  under  100 
(Tier 1 and Tier 2) in 2018. 

The target is slightly exceeded due to the inclusion of new entities in 
the  reporting  scope.  In  addition  to  the  103  Tier  1  and  Tier 
2 operational events indicated in the table below, the Group recorded 
four Tier 1 events and one Tier 2 event due to sabotage or theft in 
2018.

more or less significant consequences, as defined by the API 754 (for downstream) and 
IOGP 456 (for upstream) standards. Excluding acts of sabotage and theft. 

(b) Excluding TEP Barnett in 2016 and 2017. 

In  accordance  with  industry  best  practices,  TOTAL  also  monitors 
accidental  liquid  hydrocarbon  spills  of  more  than  one  barrel.  Spills 
that exceed a predetermined severity threshold (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 large spills are followed by corrective actions aimed 
at  returning  the  environment  to  an  acceptable  state  as  quickly  as 
possible. Due to their unpredictable nature, there is no quantitative 
target  for  accidental  hydrocarbon  spills.  Nevertheless,  changes  in 
the number of spills are observed and analyzed.

(a)  Accidental spills with an environmental impact and of more than one barrel. 
(b) In  2017,  the  indicator  perimeter  was  updated  to  exclude  spills  due  to  sabotage  by  a

third party. 

In  order  to  manage  a  major  accidental  spill  efficiently,  the  Group 
implemented  a  global  crisis  management  system  that  is  primarily 
based on a dedicated organization and a crisis management center 
at  the  head  office  to  enable  the  management  of  two  simultaneous 
crises.  As  part  of  this  process,  TOTAL  regularly  trains  in  crisis 
management  on  the  basis  of  risk  scenarios  identified  through 
analyses. 

In particular, the Group has response plans and procedures in place 
in the event of a hydrocarbon leak or spill. For accidental spills that 
reach  the  water  surface,  oil  spill  contingency  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.

For  its  sea  and  river  shipment  requirements,  TOTAL  only  charters 
ships and barges that meet the highest international standards. The 
Group has an internal policy that lays down the process and criteria 
by  which  ships  and  barges  are  selected  (known  as  vetting).  These 
criteria are based, in particular, on the regulations, best practice and 
recommendations of the OCIMF (1) and, in Europe, on the European 
Barge Inspection Scheme (EBIS). Tankers and barges are vetted by 
a  single  centralized  Group  entity.  The  average  age  of  the  Group 
Shipping division’s time- chartered fleet is approximately six years. 

With regard to operated marine terminals, the Group got involved in 
an  initiative  that  seeks  to  systematically  record  their  physical 
characteristics  and  store  this  data  in  a  global  database  that  forms 
part of the Marine Terminal Information System (MTIS) of the OCIMF. 
At  the  end  of  2018,  95%  of  coastal  marine  terminals  and  50%  of 
offshore terminals had submitted their characteristics, thereby making 
it  easier  to  assess  the  compatibility  of  ships  with  the  ports  of  call. 
Additionally, since 2018, large TOTAL terminals have used the Marine 
Terminal  Management  Self  Assessment  (MTMSA),  the  framework 
recommended  by  the  industry  for  the  self- assessment  of  terminals 
and the continuous improvement of the safety of product transfers. 
A training course on ship/shore interface management (SSSCL – Ship 
Shore Safety Check List) and cargo transfer operations, developed 
by  the  Group  in  2016,  had  completed  by  operators  of  80%  of 
operated- terminals by the end of 2018. 

C) Limiting the environmental footprint

Wherever TOTAL conducts its business, it makes sure that it complies 
with applicable laws and regulations, which the Group complements 
with specific requirements and commitments when necessary. TOTAL 
implements  an  active  policy  of  avoiding,  reducing,  managing  and 
monitoring  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. 

(a)  The variation of the number of sites between 2016 and 2018 is due to perimeter variation. 
(b) Decrease  in  2018  compared  to  2017  corresponds  mainly  to  two  subsidiaries  where

Water, air 

equipment was being refurbished in 2018. 

In the event of accidental pollution, the Group companies can call on 
in- house human and material resources (Fast Oil Spill Team, FOST) 
and  benefit  from  assistance  agreements  with  the  main  third- party 
organizations specialized in the management of hydrocarbon spills. 

Since  2014,  subsea  capping  and  subsea  containment  equipment 
that  can  be  transported  by  air  has  been  strategically  positioned  at 
different  points  of  the  world  (South  Africa,  Brazil,  Norway  and 
Singapore) in order to provide solutions that are readily available in 
the event of oil or gas eruptions in deep offshore drilling operations. 
From these locations, the equipment can benefit TOTAL’s operations 
worldwide.  This  equipment  was  developed  by  a  group  of  nine  oil 
companies, including TOTAL, and is managed by Oil Spill Response 
Ltd  (OSRL),  a  cooperative  dedicated  to  the  response  to  marine 
pollution by hydrocarbons. TOTAL has also designed and developed 
its own capping system (“Subsea Emergency Response System”) to 
stop potential eruptions in drilling or production operations as quickly 
as  possible.  Since  2015,  equipment  has  been  installed  in  Angola, 
then the Republic of the Congo, potentially covering the entire Gulf 
of Guinea region. 

The Group’s operations generate emissions into the atmosphere from 
combustion  plants  and  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. After analyses have been conducted and when 
necessary, the sites introduce various reduction systems that include 
organizational measures (such as using predictive models to control 
peaks  in  sulfur  dioxide  (SO2)  emissions  based  on  weather  forecast 
data and the improvement of combustion processes management, 
etc.)  and  technical  measures  (wastewater  treatment  plants,  using 
low NOX  burners and electrostatic scrubbers, etc.). 

For new facilities developed by the Group, impact assessments are 
systematically  carried  out  on  these  emissions  and,  if  necessary, 
actions are taken to limit their impact. 

In 2010, SO2  emissions were 99 kt. The Group set itself the target of 
not exceeding 49.5kt by 2020; it has met this target since 2017.

RISKS AND CONTROL 

Risk Factors 

NOX  emissions, which are mainly concentrated in the Exploration & 
Production,  are  primarily  located  offshore  and  far  away  from  the 
coast. Their impact on air quality is therefore considered to be minor. 

Discharged water quality 

In 2018, with regards to discharges to aquatic environments, all of 
the  operated  sites  met  the  onshore  discharge  quality  target  set  to 
restrict the impact on receiving environments.

Lastly, decommissioned Group facilities operated by Group entities 
or affiliates (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 created a policy of evaluation, treatment 
of  environmental  risks  related  to  soil  and  groundwater  and 
remediation of its sites at the end of their activity. In agreement with 
the authorities, the aim is to allow new operations to be set up once 
the  future  use  of  the  land  has  been  determined.  Remediation 
operations  are  conducted  by  specialized  entities  created  by  the 
Group. At the end of 2018, 123 industrial sites that were no longer in 
operation  (excluding  service  stations)  were  in  the  process  of 
remediation.

during  the  maintenance  periods  of  the  water  reinjection  system  and  are  subject  to  a
specific regulatory authorization. 

In 2018, the percentage of sites conforming to the targets for quality 
of offshore discharges decreased due to a site acquired as part of 
the Mærsk Oil acquisition that exceeds the targets of the Group. The 
water  discharge  from  this  site  is  minor  in  terms  of  volume  and 
represents less than 3% of the Group’s global offshore discharge. 

The improvement in the quality of onshore water discharges in 2018 
is linked to a better performance of the waste water treatment plants 
at Anvers, Donges and Normandie Refineries and to the expiry of the 
Mahakam license in Indonesia. 

Soil 

The risks of soil pollution related to TOTAL’s operations come mainly 
from  accidental  spills  (refer  to  point  3.5.9.3.B  of  this  chapter)  and 
waste storage (refer to point 3.5.9.3.E of this chapter). 

The  Group’s  approach  to  preventing  and  managing  these  types  of 
pollution is based on four key principles: 

—  preventing  leaks,  by  implementing,  as  far  as  possible,  industry 

best practices in engineering, operations and transport; 

—  carrying out maintenance at appropriate frequency to minimize 

the risk of leaks; 

—  overall  monitoring  of  the  environment  to  identify  any  soil  and 

groundwater pollution; and 

—  managing  any  pollution  from  previous  activities  by  means  of 

containment and reduction or elimination operations. 

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

—  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 

—  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. 

The Group’s activities, mainly those of Refining & Chemicals, and to 
a  lesser  extent  those  of  the  Exploration  &  Production,  Gas, 
Renewables & Power segments, may potentially have an impact on, 
as well as be dependent of, water resources. This is especially true 
when an activity is located in a water resources sensitive environment. 

Fully  aware  of  these  challenges,  TOTAL  implements  the  following 
water risk management actions: 

1. monitor water withdrawals to identify priority sensitive sites and

then carry out a risk assessment;

2.

improve  the  water  resources  management  depending  on
identified  needs,  by  adapting  the  priority  sites’  environmental
management system.

In order to identify the priority facilities, TOTAL records the withdrawal 
and discharge of water on all of its sites and assesses these volumes 
on the basis of the current and future water stress indicators of the 
WRI (1)  Aqueduct  tool  (currently  9.7% (2)  of  fresh  water  withdrawals 
take place in a global water stress area). 

In  addition,  TOTAL  assesses  water  resources  risk  levels  of  priority 
facilities  which  are  those  that  withdraw  more  than  500,000  m³  per 
year and are located in areas potentially exposed to water resource 
risks, using the Local Water Tool (LWT) for Oil & Gas from the Global 
Environmental Management Initiative (GEMI). This tool also helps to 
guide the actions taken to mitigate any risks in order to make optimal 
use of water resources on these sites. 

Globally, the sites operated by the Group are not particularly exposed 
to water risk. By the end of 2018, out of the 24 priority sites identified, 
the  level  of  water  risk  was  assessed  on  16  priority  Group  sites 
(11  Refining  &  Chemicals,  3  Exploration  &  Production,  2  Gas, 
Renewables  &  Power).  Following  this  assessment,  two  sites  were 
identified as being at risk and were reported to the CDP. This analysis 
process  is  expected  to  be  extended  to  other  current  priority  sites, 
including eight additional sites that have been identified. 

In  2018,  the  Group  answered  the  CDP  Water  survey  for  the  2017 
period and was graded A- . The main indicator used in this reporting 
is aggregated withdrawal.

Risk Factors  3 

In  2018,  the  Group  introduced  a  specific  selection  process 
concerning palm oil suppliers to ensure all palm oil purchases for the 
La  Mède  facility  will  be  certified  sustainable  in  accordance  with 
European  Union  criteria  (ISCC  EU  certification)  and  are  conducted 
with a limited number of suppliers. 

The Board of Directors meeting of March 13, 2019 decided to change 
the  criteria  for  the  determination  of  the  variable  portion  of  the 
Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer’s  compensation  for  the  year 
2019. Among others, a quantifiable criteria related to the evolution of 
GHG emissions (Scopes 1 & 2) on operated oil & gas facilities (refer 
to chapter 4, section 4.3.2 for details). 

D) Not to harm biodiversity and ecosystems during

projects and operations

Role of management 

TOTAL’s  activities  may  potentially  be  located  in  sensitive  natural 
environments. 

The Group is fully aware of this challenge and takes biodiversity and 
ecosystems  into  account  during  its  projects  and  operations.  In 
July 2018, and within the framework of the Act4Nature initiative, the 
Group made 16 biodiversity commitments to make this policy more 
tangible.  The  16  commitments  are  described  in  the  biodiversity 
brochure available on the website sustainable- performance.total.com. 
There are 10 general commitments common to all of the signatory 
companies  and  an  additional  6  commitments  specific  to  TOTAL, 
some  of  which  existed  before  the  initiative.  These  differentiate  the 
Group from its competitors. 

TOTAL’s  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer,  in  compliance  with 
the  long- term  strategic  direction  set  by  the  Board  of  Directors, 
implements  the  strategy  of  the  Group  and  its  business  segments 
while making sure climate  change challenges are taken into account. 
He  relies  on  the  President,  Group  Strategy- Innovation,  who  is  a 
member  of  the  Executive  Committee,  to  whom  the  Senior  Vice 
President Strategy & Climate, and the Senior Vice President Climate 
report (refer to the Group organization chart in chapter 1). The Senior 
Vice President Climate chairs the Climate- Energy steering Committee, 
which  mainly  includes  representatives  of  Strategy  and  HSE 
management  from  the  various  business  segments.  The  mission  of 
this Committee consists of structuring the Group’s approach to the 
climate. 

3 

3.5.9.4  Climate 

TOTAL’s  ambition  is  to  become  the  responsible  energy  major.  The 
Group is committed to contributing to the United Nations Sustainable 
Development Goals, particularly with regards to those subjects that 
are  connected  to  climate  change  and  the  development  of  more 
available and cleaner energy for as many people as possible. 

In  order  to  make  an  effective  contribution  to  the  climate  change 
issue,  TOTAL  relies  on  an  organization  and  structured  governance 
framework to make sure climate- related challenges are fully integrated 
into  the  Group’s  strategy.  Consequently,  the  Group  has  a  robust 
strategy and implements a structured risk management system. 

In line with the multiple situations encountered in the field, and while 
supporting the Group’s governance bodies, the Strategy and Climate 
division  shapes  the  Group’s  approach  to  climate  change  while 
working  with  the  operational  divisions  of  the  Group’s  business 
segments. By monitoring indicators, progress can be measured and 
the Group’s actions can be adjusted. 

A) Governance

TOTAL has an organization and structured governance framework to 
make  sure  climate- related  challenges  are  fully  integrated  into  the 
Group’s strategy. Since September 2016, its organization includes a 
Strategy- Innovation  corporate  division,  which  includes  the  Strategy 
& Climate division as well as the Gas, Renewables & Power business 
segment, whose President is a member of the Executive Committee. 

Oversight by the Board of Directors

TOTAL’s  Board  of  Directors  ensures  that  climate- related  issues  are 
incorporated into the Group’s strategy and examines climate  change 
risks and opportunities during the annual strategic outlook review of 
the Group’s business segments. 

To carry out its work, the Board of Directors relies on its Strategic & 
CSR  Committee,  whose  rules  of  procedure  were  changed  in 
September 2017 then in July 2018 in order to broaden its missions 
in  the  realm  of  CSR  and  in  questions  relating  to  the  inclusion  of 
climate- related issues in the Group’s strategy. 

Aware of the importance of climate- change challenges faced by the 
Group, the Board of Directors decided, in 2016, to introduce changes 
to  the  variable  compensation  of  the  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive 
Officer  to  take  better  account  of  the  achievements  of  Corporate 
Social Responsibility (CSR) and the Group’s HSE targets. For fiscal 
year 2018, the importance given to these criteria rose further: CSR 
performance is assessed by considering the extent to which climate 
issues are included in the Group’s strategy, the Group’s reputation in 
the domain of Corporate Social Responsibility as well as the policy 
concerning all aspects of diversity. 

B) Strategy

Identification of climate-related risks and opportunities 

The identification of climate-related risks forms an integral part of the 
analysis  of  investment  projects.  The  impact  of  these  risks  is  also 
examined for the Group asset portfolio as a whole. These risks are 
presented in detail in point 3.1.2 of this chapter. 

In order to ensure the viability of its projects and long-term strategy
in  light  of  the  challenges  raised  by  climate  change,  the  Group
integrates, into the financial evaluation of investments presented to
the Executive Committee, either a long-term CO2 price of $30 to $40 
per ton (depending on the price of crude), or the actual price of CO2 
in a given country if higher. 

TOTAL has five major levers to integrate climate in its strategy. 

1) Improving energy efficiency

Optimizing the energy consumption of its operated facilities is TOTAL’s 
first lever to reduce emissions. The Group therefore aims to improve 
the  energy  efficiency  of  its  operated  facilities  by  an  average  of  1% 
per year over the 2010- 2020 period, at a time when exploration is 
becoming increasingly complex. This indicator is described in point 
3.5.9.4.D of this chapter. 

TOTAL uses appropriate architectures and equipment and introduces 
technological  innovations.  For  example,  on  offshore  production 
barges,  offshore  platforms  and  onshore  facilities,  heat  recovery 
systems  at  gas  turbine  exhausts  have  been  implemented  thereby 
avoiding the need for furnaces or boiler systems. 

2) Growing in natural gas

To  respond  responsibly  to  the  strong  rise  in  demand  for  electricity, 
TOTAL  remains  committed  to  gas,  whose  CO2  emissions  are  half 
those of coal when used to generate electricity (1). 

The  Group  wishes  to  be  present  throughout  the  whole  gas  chain, 
from production to end customer. Significant operations have taken 
place  in  the  upstream  and  the  downstream  to  make  this  possible. 
Upstream,  TOTAL  has  acquired  a  stake  in  the  giant  Yamal  LNG 
project in the north of Russia. The Group has also acquired the LNG 
assets  of  Engie.  These  two  complementary  portfolios  allow  for  the 
management  of  a  volume  of  nearly  40  Mt  of  LNG  as  from  2020. 
Downstream,  the  Group  has  made  strategic  acquisitions,  such  as 
Direct  Énergie  and  Lampiris,  gas  and  electricity  suppliers  on  the 
French and Belgian markets, and has developed Total Spring, which 
was launched in 2017 on the French market.

RISKS AND CONTROL 

Risk Factors 

Finally,  TOTAL  has  committed  itself  to  gas  fuel  for  transport  by 
acquiring  a  25%  stake  in  Clean  Energy  Fuels  Corp.,  one  of  the 
leading distributors of gas fuel for HGVs in the United States, and by 
signing  a  contract  with  CMA - CGM,  the  first  shipping  company  to 
equip its transcontinental container ships with LNG- powered engines. 

Strengthening the position of gas in the energy mix must however be 
accompanied by a greater focus on control of methane emissions. 
To preserve the advantage that gas offers in terms of GHG emissions 
compared to coal for electricity generation, it is necessary to strictly 
reduce the methane emissions associated with the production and 
transportation of gas. In 2018, TOTAL’s methane emissions are kept 
below 0.25% of the commercial gas produced (1). TOTAL’s target is 
to  sustainably  reduce  the  intensity  of  its  methane  emissions  of  its 
operated  facilities  in  the  Exploration  &  Production  segment  to  less 
than 0.20% of commercial gas produced by 2025. 

The  Group  has  been  a  member  since  2014  of  the  partnership 
between governments and industrial companies for the improvement 
of  tools  to  measure  and  control  methane  emissions  set  up  by  the 
Climate  and  Clean  Air  Coalition  and  promoted  by  UN  Environment 
and  the  non- profit  organization  Environmental  Defense  Fund.  The 
Group  also  took  several  actions  as  part  of  the  Oil  &  Gas  Climate 
Initiative  and  signed  the  guiding  principles  on  the  reduction  of 
methane emissions on the gas value chain (2). 

 3) Developing a profitable low- carbon electricity business

TOTAL  is  developing  along  the  whole  of  the  low- carbon  electricity 
value chain, from electricity generation, storage and sale to the end 
customer. As demand for electricity is expected to grow strongly in 
the  coming  decades,  TOTAL  intends  to  become  a  major  player  in 
this  segment.  To  meet  this  target,  TOTAL  plans  to  invest  $1.5  to 
$2 billion per year. In 2018, the Group completed the acquisition of 
Direct Énergie, a French electricity supplier, for nearly €2 billion. With 
regards  to  the  generation  of  electricity,  TOTAL  aims  at  holding  a 
production  capacity  of  10  GW  of  low- carbon  electricity  by  2023. 
In  2018,  TOTAL  acquired  four  combined- cycle  natural  gas  power 
plants in France with a global capacity of 1.6 GW. Refer to chapter 2 
for further information on recent acquisitions. 

4) Developing sustainable biofuels

A pioneer in biofuels for more than 20 years, TOTAL is now one of 
Europe’s major actors with 2.4 Mt (3) blended sustainable biofuels in 
2018 for a worldwide distribution of 3.2 Mt. 

Furthermore,  TOTAL  produced  0.1  Mt  of  sustainable  biofuels  in  its 
refineries  in  2018.  Production  at  La  Mède  factory  is  scheduled  to 
start  in  2019.  It  has  a  capacity  of  0.5  Mt  per  year  of  hydrotreated 
vegetable oil (HVO) based on sustainable certified charges, the Group 
intends to reach a market share of over 10% in Europe. Biofuels that 
are currently available are mainly made with vegetable oil and sugar. 

For  more  than  10  years,  TOTAL’s  R&D  teams  have  developed 
technologies  that  have  broadened  the  range  of  usable  resources, 
while also meeting the need for sustainability. The consortium BioTFuel 
is working on, for example, the development of lignocellulose (plant 
waste). 

5) Investing in carbon sink businesses

Carbon storage is key to achieving carbon neutrality in the second 
half  of  the  21st  century.  TOTAL  is  focusing,  on  the  one  hand,  on 
developing CCUS and, on the other, on preserving and restoring the 
capacity  of  ecosystems  to  act  as  carbon  sinks.  CCUS  is  vital  for 
several industries, especially those that emit massive amounts of CO2 
due  to  the  nature  of  their  business  (cement,  steel,  etc.).  TOTAL 
allocates significant resources to this area by dedicating up to 10% 
of  the  Group’s  R&D  budget  to  it.  Several  projects  have  made 
substantial progress in recent months. Northern Lights (Norway) is a 
project in which the Group participates alongside Equinor and Shell. 
TOTAL is also a partner of the Clean Gas Project (UK), together with 
the OGCI’s investment fund and a few companies of the sector (4). 

TOTAL  announced  in  February  2019  the  creation  of  an  entity 
dedicated  to  investments  in  natural  carbon  sinks,  composed  of 
experts  in  environment  and  agronomy,  with  an  investment  budget 
$100  million  per  year  from  2020  onwards.  Furthermore,  actions  of 
preservation  and  restoration  of  the  forest  are  currently  conducted 
(refer to point 5.9 of chapter 5 where presented the Total Foundation 
program carried mainly by the Fondation d’entreprise Total ). 

Sector initiatives and international framework 

TOTAL  is  also  in  various  sector  initiatives  on  the  main  challenges 
raised by climate change. Indeed, tackling climate change requires 
cooperation between all actors, from both public and private sectors. 

Thus,  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.  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,  while  ensuring  fair  treatment  of
“sectors  exposed  to  carbon  leakage”  (as  defined  by  the  EU).  In
addition, TOTAL is working with the World Bank as part of the Carbon 
Pricing Leadership Coalition (CPLC). In June 2017, TOTAL became
a  founder  member  of  the  Climate  Leadership  Council,  an  initiative
that  calls  for  the  introduction  of  a  “carbon  dividend”,  namely,  a
redistribution  mechanism  that  would  tax  the  biggest  fossil  fuel
consumers  (a  population’s  wealthiest  citizens)  in  order  to  pay  a
dividend to the entire population.

In  2014,  TOTAL  was  actively  involved  in  launching  and  developing 
the Oil & Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI), a global industry partnership. 
At year- end 2018, this initiative involved 13 major international energy 
players. Its purpose is to share experiences, advance technological 
solutions  and  catalyze  meaningful  action  in  order  to  assist  the 
evolution  of  the  energy  mix  in  a  manner  that  takes  into  account 
climate  change  issues.  Launched  in  2017,  the  OGCI  Climate 
Investments fund, which has access to over $1 billion over 10 years, 
invests  in  technology  that  significantly  cuts  emissions.  The  fund’s 
initial  investments  notably  are:  a  large- scale  industrial  CO2  capture 
and storage project (Clean Gas Project); a solution that reduces the 
carbon  footprint  of  cement  by  using  CO2  instead  of  water  to  set 
concrete  (Solidia  Technologies);  a  high- efficiency  opposed- piston 
engine  that  reduces  GHG  emissions  (Achates  Power)  and  a 
technology that incorporates CO2 as a raw material in the production 
of polyols used in polyurethanes, which are plastics that have multiple 
uses (Econic Technologies).

performance.total.com).  For  its  2018  reporting  regarding  2017
activities, the Group received an A-. 

Flaring 

Reducing routine flaring has been a long- standing target of the Group, 
which  designs  its  new  projects  without  resorting  to  it.  In  addition, 
TOTAL is committed to putting an end to routine flaring of its operated 

facilities  by  2030.  An  80%  reduction  target  was  set  for  2020 
compared to 2010, in other words, an average of 1.5 Mm3/d. This 
target has been met since 2017. 

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

The  increase  in  flaring  linked  to  oil  production  in  2018  is  due  to 
acquisition and startup of new sites.

RISKS AND CONTROL 

Risk Factors 

Energy efficiency 

A) The Group’s responsible procurement policy

One of the Group’s performance targets is to better control energy 
consumption.  Since  the  beginning  of  2013,  a  Group  directive  has 
defined  the  requirements  to  be  met  at  operated  sites  using  more 
than  50,000  tons  of  oil  equivalent  per  year  of  primary  energy 
(approximately 40 sites). At end 2018, all the concerned sites reported 
compliance or had taken steps to comply with this directive. The aim 
is  to  ensure  that  100%  sites  using  more  than  50,000  tons  of  oil 
equivalent per year by the end of 2020 have an Energy Management 
System auditable, such as the ISO 50001 on energy management (1). 
A certain number of sites that use less energy have, voluntarily, taken 
measures to become ISO 50001 certified. 

Energy  efficiency  is  a  key  factor  for  the  improvement  of  economic, 
environmental  and  industrial  performance.  Since  2013,  the  Group 
has  used  a  Group  Energy  Efficiency  Index  (GEEI)  to  assess  its 
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. 

The Group’s target for the 2010- 2020 period is to improve the energy 
efficiency of its operated facilities by an average of 1% per year. By 
design, the base value of the GEEI was defined as 100 in 2010 and 
the target is to reach 90.4 in 2020. This target has been met since 
2017. 

Through the “Total Ecosolutions” program, the Group is developing 
innovative  products  and  services  that  perform  above  market 
standards on the environmental front. At year- end 2018, 97 products 
and  services  bore  the  “Total  Ecosolutions”  label.  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 1.75 Mt CO2e in 2018. 

GHG emissions 

The Group has reduced by 25% the GHG emissions produced by its 
operated activities since 2010. This reduction was reached thanks to 
notably reducing flaring and improving energy efficiency. 

In February 2019, TOTAL announced a target to decrease the GHG 
emissions (Scopes 1 & 2) on its operated oil & gas facilities to less 
than 40 Mt CO2e in 2025. 

3.5.9.5  Contractors and suppliers

TOTAL’s  activities  generate  hundreds  of  thousands  of  direct  and 
indirect  jobs  worldwide.  Present  in  more  than  130  countries,  the 
Group currently works with a network of more than 100,000 suppliers 
of goods and services worldwide. In 2018, the Group’s purchases of 
goods  and  services  (excluding  petroleum  products  and  vessel 
chartering  by  Trading  &  Shipping)  represented  approximately 
$29 billion (2) worldwide. The allocation of expenditures on the Group 
level is approximately 32% for goods (products, materials, etc.) and 
approximately  68%  for  services  (in  particular  consulting  services, 
work with supply of materials, transport, etc.). 

TOTAL’s success as a responsible company is played out all along 
its  value  chain,  and  the  Group  is  convinced  of  the  importance  of 
working  with  suppliers  that  respect  human  rights  and  take  care  of 
their  employees.  The  Group  expects  its  suppliers  to  adhere  to 
principles equivalent to those in its own Code of Conduct, as set out 
in  the  Fundamental  Principles  of  Purchasing  directive.  To  this  end, 
the  Group  wanted  the  management  of  its  supplier  relations  to  be 
coordinated  by  the  dedicated  cross- functional  “Total  Global 
Procurement”  entity,  which  is  tasked,  in  particular,  with  delivering 
Purchasing  services  and  assisting  the  Group’s  entities  and  sites, 
mainly  in  Exploration  &  Production,  Refining  &  Petrochemicals, 
Marketing & Services and Gas, Renewables & Power. This approach 
is complemented by employee training programs and actions to raise 
awareness amongst the Group’s partners, customers and suppliers. 
Its  success  is  also  based  on  TOTAL’s  involvement  in  international 
initiatives or collaborative approaches specific to the energy sector 
that promote the emergence of good practices. 

The Group ensures that contractual conditions are negotiated in an 
equitable manner with its suppliers. The Code of Conduct restates 
this requirement and the three essential principles that guide TOTAL’s 
relations  with  its  suppliers:  dialogue,  professionalism  and  the 
fulfillment of commitments. 

These principles are also set forth in the Fundamental Principles of 
Purchasing,  launched  in  2010,  that  specify  the  commitments  that 
TOTAL  expects  its  employees  and  suppliers  to  adhere  to  in  the 
following areas: respect for human rights at work, the protection of 
health,  safety  and  security,  preservation  of  the  environment, 
prevention of corruption, and conflicts of interest and the fight against 
fraud,  respect  for  competition  law,  as  well  as  the  promotion  of 
economic and social development. These principles were drawn up 
in keeping with the fundamental principles defined in particular in the 
United  Nations  Universal  Declaration  of  Human  Rights,  the 
conventions  of  the  International  Labor  Organization,  the  United 
Nations Global Compact and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational 
Enterprises. 

Furthermore, a Sustainable Procurement road map defines TOTAL’s 
guidelines  in  this  area.  A  Sustainable  Procurement  Committee 
regularly brings together the Management Committee of Total Global 
Procurement and the Civil Society Engagement (including the Human 
Rights  Department),  HSE  and  Legal  divisions  as  well  as  the  Ethics 
Committee.  It  is  tasked  with  monitoring  the  implementation  of  the 
Group’s Sustainable Procurement road map. 

Employee awareness- raising actions and training 

TOTAL has set up a number of channels of communication to raise 
employee  awareness  of  the  risks  and  issues  related  to  its  supply 
chain. Training modules explaining the Group’s ethical commitments 
and the Fundamental Principles of Purchasing have been developed 
for  and  made  available  to  Group  procurement  representatives.  In 
2018, 196 procurement representatives were trained on respect of 
human  rights  and  working  conditions  by  suppliers,  and  250  on 
anti- corruption rules. 

The Group provides its procurement representatives with supporting 
materials,  such  as  the  “Sustainable  Purchasing  Awareness  Cards” 
that recap human rights at work and identify the purchaser practices 
that must alert them. A set of communication tools intended to help 
procurement representatives to enter discussions on the Fundamental 
Principles  of  Purchasing  was  also  distributed  within  Total  Global 
Procurement. The materials used in the annual performance review 
have been revised to include a section on human rights. 

In June 2018, the International Procurement Days brought together 
the  170  procurement  representatives  present  in  41  countries.  The 
Fundamental  Principles  of  Purchasing  were  distributed  during  the 
event and the internal supplier qualification and audit processes were 
presented. 

With  respect  to  the  development  of  good  practices  in  business 
relations,  TOTAL  also  launched  an  initiative  to  raise  its  employees’ 
awareness  of  mediation  as  an  alternative  method  for  resolving 
disputes. Since 2013, a training day run by professional mediators to 
raise  awareness  of  mediation  has  been  organized  in  French  and 
English. In 2017, an open day for employees of the Group, lawyers 
and  suppliers,  enabled  participants  to  learn  about  the  benefits  of 
mediation.  A  brochure  designed  to  increase  awareness  of  the 
mediation  process  is  available  to  all  Group  employees.  In  addition, 
an email address is available on the Group website (under “Suppliers”). 
The  Group’s  suppliers  can  contact  the  internal  supplier  mediator 
using  a  generic  email  address  (mediation.fournisseurs@total.com). 
The internal mediator is tasked with facilitating relations between the 
Group  and  its  French  and  international  suppliers.  The  general 
purchasing  terms  and  conditions  also  mention  the  possibility  of 
recourse to mediation.

B) Extension of the Group’s policy to the supply chain

Supplier awareness- raising actions 

RISKS AND CONTROL 

Risk Factors  3 

TOTAL expects its suppliers to:

—  adhere to the Fundamental Principles of Purchasing and ensure

that they are adhered to in their activities; 

—  accept to be audited according to these principles; 

—  remain  attentive  to  the  everyday  working  conditions  of  their 

employees and their suppliers’ employees; 

—  ensure  that  their  own  suppliers  and  subcontractors  adhere  to 

these Fundamental Principles of Purchasing; 

—  refer  to  the  Group  Ethics  Committee  when  in  doubt  or  in  the 

event of any malfunction. 

The rules set out in these Principles must be included or transposed 
into  the  agreements  concluded  with  suppliers.  To  this  end,  these 
Principles are available for consultation by all suppliers in both French 
and English on TOTAL’s website (under “Suppliers”). 

The supplier qualification process 

The supplier qualification process was harmonized at Group level in 
2017  by  Total  Global  Procurement.  A  new  internal  framework  was 
published in 2018. A new computerized qualification tool will gradually 
be rolled out starting in 2019, with a planned scope of 107 countries 
thus far. 

It will be used to automate and document the supplier qualification 
process, which unfolds in four stages: 

1. confirmation of interest;

2. a  risk  pre- analysis  to  decide  whether  an  in- depth  analysis  of
each  criterion  is  necessary  (HSE,  anti- corruption,  societal,
financial, technical);

3. determination of the qualification status;

4. monitoring  and  renewal  of  qualification.  Qualifications  are  valid

for three years.

The supplier assessment process 

Simultaneously, the Group has set up a supplier assessment process 
to identify and prevent risks of severe impacts on human rights and 
fundamental freedoms, human health and safety. Thus, since 2016, 
the Group started conducting campaigns to audit working conditions 
amongst its suppliers. These audits are conducted by a specialized 
service provider, with which TOTAL signed a framework contract in 
2016. 

Since 2017, the Group has been rolling- out specific training for Group 
purchasers to evaluate suppliers with respect to human rights. 

Moreover,  in  September  2018,  TOTAL,  BP,  Equinor  and  Shell 
announced  their  intention  to  develop  a  common  collaborative 
approach to assess the respect of human rights by their suppliers. 
The partner companies are convinced of the importance of working 
with suppliers that respect human rights, on the one hand, and take 
good care of their employees, on the other. The goal of this common 
approach is to encourage the improvement of working conditions in 
the supply chain of the companies involved. This initiative addresses 
the United Nations SDG N° 8: “to promote sustained, inclusive and 
sustainable  economic  growth,  full  and  productive  employment  and 
decent work for all”. 

3 

The deployment of the anti- corruption policy in purchasing continued 
in  2017  with  awareness- raising  sessions  for  strategic  suppliers  at 
the Suppliers Day. This event gathered more than 100 suppliers that 
are considered to be strategic in view of their contribution to Group 
operations. In addition to numerous initiatives taken in previous years, 
in  2018  approximately  229  suppliers  underwent  an  anti- corruption 
analysis through the issuing of specific questionnaires, completed, in 
some cases, by external inspections. 

Every  year,  one  of  the  departments  of  the  IPO  (TOTAL  IPO  in 
Shanghai, China) organizes a compliance day and invites one of its 
approved  suppliers.  It  can  explain  the  actions  it  takes  regarding 
anti- corruption compliance, the concrete problems encountered and 
how it deals with them. The discussions, based on case studies and 
topical issues, are enlightening for all. In 2018, this event was held in 
December (refer also to point 5.8.1 of chapter 5). 

Finally,  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  “conflict  minerals” (1)  sourced 
from  the 
Democratic  Republic  of  the  Congo  or  an  adjoining  country.  The 
document  indicates  whether,  during  the  preceding  calendar  year, 
any such minerals were necessary to the functionality or production 
of  a  product  manufactured  (or  contracted  to  be  manufactured)  by 
the TOTAL S.A. or one of its affiliates had. 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: 
sustainable- performance.total.com or www.sec.gov. 

C) The Group’s responsible procurement commitments

Since  2010,  TOTAL  is  a  signatory  to  the  French  Economy  and 
Finances  Ministry’s  Sustainable  Supplier  Relations  Charter,  which 
aims  to  allow  more  sustainable  and  balanced  relations  between 
customers and suppliers. 

Worldwide, a CSR global agreement monitoring Committee (known 
as  the  “FAIR  Committee”)  meets  every  year  in  the  presence  of 
representatives who are members of trade unions affiliated with the 
IndustriALL Global Union and appointed by this federation to monitor 
and implement the agreement. It identifies good practice and areas 
for improvement. In application of the areas for improvement defined 
by  this  Committee,  the  programs  mentioned  earlier  have  already 
been  set  up:  Suppliers  Day,  International  Procurement  Day  and 
trainings in human rights for purchasers. 

Since 2018, TOTAL has been a member of the United Nations Global 
Compact platform on Decent Work in Global Supply Chains, and, in 
this  capacity,  takes  part  in  various  workshops  that  aim  to  help  the 
member companies of the Global Compact to make progress in this 
area. In December 2018, the Group committed to pursuing its efforts 
in  terms  of  decent  work  and  respecting  human  rights  in  its  supply 
chain by signing the “Six Commitments” of the United Nations Global 
Compact. 

The Group’s buyers also take part in international working groups on 
responsible  procurement.  TOTAL  is  an  active  member  of  IPIECA’s 
Supply Chain Working Group. Building on the workshops held since 
2015, TOTAL continued to participate in the Operationalization of the 
UN Guiding Principles work organized by the IPIECA, aimed at both 
oil and gas companies and engineering, procurement and construction 
(EPC) contractors. 

Finally, the Group pays special attention to the disabled and protected 
employment  sectors.  In  France,  the  Group’s  purchases  from  this 
sector  enabled  the  achievement  of  an  indirect  employment  rate  of 
nearly 1% in 2018. 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  (disabled  or 
protected employment sectors) by geographical area and by category 
(refer to point 5.3.5.3 in chapter 5). 

(1)  Rule 13p- 1 defines “conflict minerals” as follows (irrespective of their geographical origin): columbite- tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite as well as their derivatives, which are 

limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten.

Biography & Professional Experience 

A graduate of École Polytechnique and a Chief Engineer of France’s Corps des Mines, Mr. Pouyanné held, between

advisor to the Prime Minister – Édouard Balladur – in the fields of the Environment and Industry from 1993 to 1995, 
Chief of staff for the Minister for Information and Aerospace Technologies – François Fillon – from 1995 to 1996). 
In January 1997, he joined TOTAL’s Exploration & Production division, first as Chief Administrative Officer in Angola, 
before becoming Group representative in Qatar and President of the Exploration and Production subsidiary in that 
country in 1999. In August 2002, he was appointed President, Finance, Economy and IT for Exploration & Production. 
In January 2006, he became Senior Vice President, Strategy, Business Development and R&D in Exploration &

On October 22, 2014, he became Chief Executive Officer of TOTAL S.A. and Chairman of the Group’s Executive

Following  the  renewal  of  Mr.  Pouyanné’s  directorship  at  the  Shareholders’  Meeting  on  June  1,  2018  for  a

4.1.1.2  Absence of conflicts of interest 

or convictions 

The  Board  of  Directors’  Rules  of  Procedure  stipulate  the  specific 
rules for preventing conflicts of interest applicable to directors in the 
following terms (refer to point 4.1.2.1 of this chapter for the full version 
of the Rules of Procedure): 

“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 
from participating in any debate 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.” 

“7.2 Duties of the Lead Independent Director 

5. Prevention of conflicts of interest

Within  the  Governance  and  Ethics  Committee,  the  Lead 
Independent Director organizes the performance of due diligence 
in  order  to  identify  and  analyze  potential  conflicts  of  interest 
within  the  Board  of  Directors.  He  informs  the  Chairman  and 
Chief Executive Officer of any conflicts of interest identified as a 
result and reports to the Board of Directors on these activities. 

Pursuant  to  the  obligation  to  declare  conflicts  of  interest  set 
out  in  Article  2.5  of  these  Rules,  any  director  affected  by  an 
existing  or  potential  conflict  of  interest  must  inform  the 
Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  and 
the  Lead 
Independent Director.” 

The Lead Independent Director has performed due diligence in order 
to identify and analyze potential conflicts of interest. He brought to 
the attention of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer the potential 
conflicts of interest that had been identified. In this regard, the Lead 
Independent Director was consulted in July 2018 by a director about 
a potential conflict of interest that could arise due to that director’s 
possible participation in a Committee of an energy- related entity in 
an  Asian  country.  Due  to  the  absence  of  a  conflict  of  interest,  this 
director then decided to respond to the offer to chair this Committee. 
The Lead Independent director was also consulted in October 2018 
by the director concerning that director’s potential participation to a 
strategic committee of a fund manager. He was answered positively. 

On the basis of the work carried out, the Board of Directors noted 
the absence of potential conflicts of interest between the directors’ 
duties with respect to the Company and their private interests. 

To the Company’s knowledge, there is no family relationship among 
the  members  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  TOTAL  S.A.;  there  is  no 
arrangement or agreement with the major shareholders, 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. 

REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 

Administration and management bodies  4 

The  current  members  of  the  Company’s  Board  of  Directors  have 
informed  the  Company  that  they  have  not  been  charged  with, 
convicted  or  subject  to  any  incrimination,  conviction  or  sanction 
pronounced by a judicial or administrative authority or a professional 
body,  have  not  been  associated  with  bankruptcy,  sequestration, 
receivership  or  court-ordered  liquidation  proceedings,  and  have 
not been convicted of fraud, prohibited from managing a company 
or disqualified as stipulated in item 14.1 of Annex I of EC Regulation

4.1.1.3  Plurality of directorships held by directors 

The number of directorships held by the directors at listed companies 
outside their group, including foreign companies, was assessed as 
of December 31, 2018, in accordance with the recommendations of 
the  AFEP- MEDEF  Code  (point  18)  which  states  that  “an  executive 
officer  should  not  hold  more  than  two  other  directorships  in  listed 
corporations,  including  foreign  corporations,  outside  of  his  or  her 
group.  [This]  limit  […]  does  not  apply  to  directorships  held  by  an 
executive officer in subsidiaries and holdings, held alone or together 
with  others,  of  companies  whose  main  activity  is  to  acquire  and 
manage  such  holdings.  […]  A  director  should  not  hold  more  than 
four  other  directorships  in  listed  corporations,  including  foreign 
corporations outside of the group.”

4.1.1.4  Directors independence 

At its meeting on February 6, 2019, the Board of Directors, on the 
proposal  of  the  Governance  and  Ethics  Committee,  reviewed  the 
independence of the Company’s directors as of December 31, 2018. 
At this Committee’s proposal, the Board considered that, pursuant 
to the AFEP- MEDEF Code to which the Company refers to, a director 
is  independent  when  “he  or  she  has  no  relationship  of  any  kind 
whatsoever with the corporation, its group or its management that 
may interfere the exercise of his or her freedom of judgment”.

4 REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 

Administration and management bodies 

For each director, this assessment was based on the independence criteria set forth in point 8.5 of the AFEP- MEDEF Code, revised in June 2018, 
and as described below. 

Criterion 1: Employee corporate ofcer during the previous five years 

“Not to be or not to have been during the course of the previous five years: 

—  an employee or executive officer of the company; 
—  an employee, executive officer or director of a company consolidated within the corporation; 
—  an  employee,  executive  officer  or  director  of  the  company’s  parent  company  or  a  company  consolidated  within  this  parent 

company.” 

Criterion 2: Cross- directorships 

“Not to be an executive officer of a company in which the company holds a directorship, directly or indirectly, or in which an employee 
appointed as such or an executive officer of the Corporation (currently in office or having held such office within the last five years) holds 
a directorship.” 

Criterion 3: Significant business relationships 

“Not to be a customer, supplier, commercial banker, investment banker or consultant: 

—  that is significant to the corporation or its group;  
—  or for which the corporation or its group represents a significant portion of its activity. 

The evaluation of the significance or otherwise of the relationship with the company or its group must be debated by the Board and the 
quantitative  and  qualitative  criteria  that  led  to  this  evaluation  (continuity,  economic  dependence,  exclusivity,  etc.)  must  be  explicitly 
stated in the report on corporate governance.” 

Criterion 4: Family ties 

“Not to be related by close family ties to a company officer.” 

Criterion 5: Auditor 

“Not to have been an auditor of the corporation within the previous 5 years.” 

Criterion 6: Period of ofce exceeding 12 years 

“Not to have been a director of the corporation for more than 12 years. Loss of the status of independent director occurs on the date 
of this 12 years is reached.” 

Criterion 7: Status of non- executive ofcer 

“A non-executive officer cannot be considered independent if he or she receives variable compensation in cash or in the form of shares 
or any compensation linked to the performance of the corporation or group.” 

Criterion 8: Status of the major shareholder 

“Directors representing major shareholders of the corporation or its parent company may be considered independent, provided these 
shareholders do not take part in the control of the corporation. Nevertheless, beyond a 10% threshold in capital or voting rights, the Board, 
upon a report from the nominations Committee, should systematically review the qualification of a director as independent in the light of 
the make- up of the corporation’s capital and the existence of a potential conflict of interest.” 

It  was  confirmed,  regarding  the  independence  of  Mses.  Barbizet, 
Coisne- Roquette,  van  der  Hoeven  and  Idrac  and  Messrs.  Artus, 
Cutifani,  Lamarche,  Lemierre  and  Tavares  that  the  independence 
analyses carried out previously remained relevant. 

In particular, the following was noted as of the date of December 31, 
2018. 

—  The level of activity between Group companies and companies 
of BNP Paribas, of which Mr. Lemierre is Chairman of the Board 
of  Directors,  did  not  represent  a  material  part  of  the  financial 
institution’s  overall  business  (the  level  of  activity  of  the  Group 
companies with BNP Paribas is less than 0.1% of this bank’s net 
banking  income (1)),  nor  a  material  part  of  the  total  amount  of 
external financing of the Group’s activities (less than 5%). The Board 
noted the absence of economic dependence and exclusivity in 
the  activities  between  the  two  groups.  It  thus  concluded  that 
Mr. Lemierre could be deemed to be an independent director. 

—  The level of activity between Group companies and companies 
of  the  Natixis  group,  of  which  Mr.  Artus  is  a  member  of  the 
Executive  Committee,  did  not  represent  a  material  part  of  this 
group’s  overall  business  (the  level  of  activity  of  the  Group 
companies  with  Natixis  is  less  than  0.2%  of  this  bank’s  net 
banking income (1)), nor a material part of the total amount of external 
financing  of  the  Group’s  activities  (less  than  5%).  The  Board 

noted the absence of economic dependence and exclusivity in 
the  activities  between  the  two  groups.  It  thus  concluded  that 
Mr. Artus could be deemed to be an independent director. 

—  Regarding  Peugeot  S.A.,  of  which  Mr.  Tavares  is  Chairman  of 
the  Managing  Board,  on  the  one  hand,  the  Group’s  sales  to 
Peugeot S.A. in 2018 (i.e., €519 million) represented 0.29% of the 
Group’s 2018 consolidated sales ($209 billion, i.e., €177 billion) 
and,  on  the  other  hand,  the  amount  of  the  Group’s  purchases 
from Peugeot S.A. in 2018 (i.e., €50.9 million) represented 0.23% 
of  the  total  amount  of  purchases  made  by  the  Group  in  2018 
(i.e.  €22  billion).  The  portion  of  the  Group’s  business  with 
Peugeot  S.A.  cannot  be  considered  material.  Moreover,  for 
Peugeot  S.A.,  on  the  one  hand,  the  amount  of  Peugeot’s 
purchases from the Group in 2018 (i.e., €519 million) represented 
1.3% of the total amount of Peugeot S.A.’s purchases in 2018 
(i.e., €38.8 billion) and, on the other hand, the amount of Peugeot 
S.A.’s sales in 2018 to the Group (i.e., €50,9 million) represented 
0.08%  of  Peugeot  S.A.’s  consolidated  sales  in  2017  (i.e.,
€65.2  billion).  The  portion  of  Peugeot  S.A.’s  business  with  the
Group cannot be considered material for Peugeot S.A. The Board 
noted the absence of economic dependence and exclusivity in
the activities between the two groups. It thus concluded that Mr.
Tavares could be deemed to be an independent director.

REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 

Administration and management bodies  4 

—  Regarding  Anglo  American  plc,  of  which  Mr.  Cutifani  is  Chief 
Executive, on the one hand, the Group’s sales to Anglo American 
plc in 2018 (i.e., $345 million) represented 0.16% of the Group’s 
consolidated sales in 2018 (i.e., $209 billion) and, on the other 
hand, the amount of the Group’s purchases from Anglo American 
plc in 2018 was immaterial. The portion of the Group’s business 
with Anglo American plc cannot be considered material for the 
Group. Moreover, for Anglo American plc, on the one hand the 
amount  of  Anglo  American  plc’s  purchases  in  2018  from  the 
Group (i.e., $345 million) represented 3.2% of the total amount 
of Anglo American plc’s purchases in 2018 (i.e., $10.8 billion) and, 
on the other hand, the amount of Anglo American plc’s sales in 
2018 to the Group was immaterial. The portion of Anglo American 
plc’s business with the Group cannot be considered material for 
Anglo American plc. The Board noted the absence of economic 
dependence  and  exclusivity  in  the  activities  between  the  two 
groups. It thus concluded that Mr. Cutifani could be deemed to 
be an independent director. 

—  The level of activity between Group companies and companies 
of  the  Sonepar  group,  of  which  Ms.  Coisne- Roquette  is 
Chairwoman,  did  not  represent  a  material  part  of  the  overall 
business of the Sonepar group; the purchases made by Group 
companies from the Sonepar group totaled €1.4 million in 2018, 
i.e., 0.01% of the total amount of purchases made by the Group
in 2018 (€22 billion). The Board noted the absence of economic
dependence  and  exclusivity  in  the  activities  between  the  two
groups.  It  thus  concluded  that  Ms.  Coisne-Roquette  could  be
deemed to be an independent director.

—  The level of activity between Group companies and companies 
of the Artémis group, of which Ms. Barbizet was a Chief Executive 
Officer  until  January  2018,  did  not  represent  a  material  part  of 
the overall business of the Artémis group (the purchases made 
by Group companies from the Artémis group were not material), 
nor a material part of the Group’s purchases in 2018 (close to 0%). 
The  Board  noted  the  absence  of  economic  dependence  and 
exclusivity  in  the  activities  between  the  two  groups.  It  thus 
concluded  that  Ms.  Barbizet  could  be  deemed  to  be  an 
independent director. 

—  The  level  of  the  holding  of  stock  in  TOTAL  S.A.  by  Groupe 
Bruxelles Lambert, of which Mr. Lamarche is Deputy Managing 
Director,  which  was  less  than  1%  of  the  share  capital  as  of 
December  31,  2018,  was  not  material  and  did  not  call  into 
question Mr. Lamarche’s independence. 

Accordingly,  following  the  Governance  and  Ethics  Committee’s 
proposal,  Mses.  Barbizet,  Coisne- Roquette,  van  der  Hoeven  and 
Idrac and Messrs. Artus, Cutifani, Lamarche, Lemierre and Tavares 
were considered independent directors. 

The percentage of independent directors on the Board based on its 
composition as of December 31, 2018, was 90% (1). 

The  rate  of  independence  of  the  Board  of  Directors  is  higher  than 
the rate of independence recommended by the AFEP-MEDEF Code, 
which  specifies  that  at  least  half  of  the  members  of  the  Board  in 
widely- held  companies  with  no  controlling  shareholders  must  be 
independent.

The  Board  of  Directors  places  a  great  deal  of  importance  on  its 
composition and the composition of its Committees. 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 
framework of a formal procedure so as to ensure that the directors’ 
areas  of  expertise  are  complementary  and  that  their  profiles  are 
diverse, to maintain an overall proportion of independent members 
that  is  appropriate  to  the  Company’s  governance  structure  and 
shareholder base, to allow for a balanced representation of women 
and  men  on  the  Board,  as  well  as  to  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 better gender balance and an openness to more international 
profiles. 

Based on its composition as of March 13, 2019, the 12 members of 
the Board of Directors include 6 male directors and 6 female directors, 
with 6 nationalities represented. 

In  accordance  with  Article  L.  225- 27- 1  of  the  French  Commercial 
Code, the director representing employees is not taken into account 
for the application of the provisions relating to the gender balance of 
the  Board.  Therefore,  the  proportion  of  women  on  the  Board  was 
45.5% as of December 31, 2018 (5 women out of 11 directors). 

The 40% threshold of directors from each gender required by Article 
L. 225- 18- 1  of  the  French  Commercial  Code  was  reached  as  of
December 31, 2018.

4.1.1.6  Training of directors and knowledge 

of the Company 

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. 

In  addition,  the  director  representing  employees  receives  in- house 
training time at the Company and/or economics training offered by 
an  outside  body  chosen  by  the  director,  after  the  Board  Secretary 
has accepted the body and the training program. This training time, 
which was initially set at 20 hours per year, has been increased to 
60 hours per year by decision of the Board of Directors at its meeting 
of July 26, 2017. 

Since 2013, the Board of Directors has met each year at a Group site. 
Having  been  to  the  CSTJF  (Centre  scientifique  et  technique  Jean 
Féger) in Pau, France, the Antwerp platform in Belgium, the Bu Hasa 
field in Abu Dhabi and the Laggan project site in the North Sea in the 
United  Kingdom,  the  Board  of  Directors  visited  in  2018  the  Yamal 
LNG site in Northern Russia at the time of the Board meeting held in 
Russia on October 25, 2018. 

Several directors also had an opportunity to visit other Group sites in 
2018. Mses. van der Hoeven, Perycz and Renaud visited the Umm 
Shaif offshore field (Abu Dhabi) in September 2018. Mses. Barbizet 
and  Idrac  visited  the  deepwater  operational  center  in  Lagos,  the 
FPSO of the AKPO offshore field and the LNG plant on Bonny Island 
(Nigeria) in December 2018. 

These  site  visits  by  the  Board  of  Directors  and  its  members  are 
opportunities  to  meet  with  the  Group’s  employees,  partners  and 
leading figures in the energy sector. 

The  directors  also  have  regular  contact  with  Group  management, 
including members of the Executive Committee at Board meetings 
and operational managers during visits to the Group’s sites. These 
interactions between directors and managers help the directors better 
understand the Group’s activities in a practical way. 

proposed to the Shareholders’ Meeting of 
May 29, 2019 

The terms of office of directors Ms. Maria van der Hoeven and Messrs. 
Gérard Lamarche and Jean Lemierre, as well as the term of office of 
Ms. Renata Perycz, director representing employee shareholders, will 
expire at the Annual Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of May 29, 2019. 

Renewal of directorships 

At  its  meeting  on  March  13,  2019,  the  Board  of  Directors,  on  the 
proposal  of  the  Governance  and  Ethics  Committee,  decided  to 
submit  to  the  Annual  Shareholders’  Meeting  of  May  29,  2019,  the 
renewal  of  the  directorships  of  Ms.  Maria  van  der  Hoeven  and 
Mr. Jean Lemierre for a three- year term to expire at the end of the

knowledge of the energy sector. 

Mr.  Jean  Lemierre  will  continue  to  offer  the  Group  his  expertise  in 
banking and finance matters, as well as his experience in international 
relations. 

Appointment of Ms. Lise Croteau as a director 

At the meeting of March 13, 2019, the Board of Directors decided, 
on the proposal of the Governance and Ethics Committee, to propose 
to  the  same  Shareholders’  Meeting  the  appointment  of  Ms.  Lise 
Croteau as a director for a three- year term to expire at the end of the 
Shareholders’  Meeting  to  be  held  in  2022  to  approve  the  2021 
financial statements. 

Ms.  Lise  Croteau,  of  Canadian  nationality,  will  bring  in  particular  to 
the Board her knowledge of the electricity and renewable energies 
field  as  well  as  of  financial  field.  After  analysis  based  on  the 
independence  criteria  set  forth  in  point  8.5  of  the  AFEP-MEDEF 
Code,  the  Board  noted  that  Mrs.  Croteau  could  be  considered  as 
independent. 

Appointment of the director 
representing employee shareholders 

As the term of office of Ms. Perycz, director representing employee 
shareholders, will expire at the Annual Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting 
of May 29, 2019, the Board of Directors, at its meeting on March 13, 
2019, and on the proposal of the Governance and Ethics Committee, 
decided to submit to the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting of May 29, 
2019, the resolutions regarding the appointment of the new director 
representing employee shareholders.

REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 

Administration and management bodies  4 

In accordance with Article 11 of the Company’s bylaws, in order to 
be  appointed  as  director  representing  employee  shareholders,  the 
candidate  must  receive  a  majority  of  the  votes  of  the  shareholders 
present  and  represented  at  the  Shareholders’  Meeting.  Since  only 
one seat is to be filled, only the candidate who receives the highest 
number  of  votes  (and  at  least  a  majority  of  the  votes)  cast  by  the 
shareholders present and represented will be appointed as director 
representing employee shareholders and will serve on the Board of 
Directors for the three-year term stipulated in the bylaws. 

The Board of Directors, at its meeting on March 13, 2019, and on 
the proposal of the Governance and Ethics Committee, decided, in 
accordance with Article 11 paragraph 20 of the bylaws, to approve 
the resolution proposing the appointment of Ms. Valérie Della Puppa 
Tibi as director representing employee shareholders. 

The  Board  of  Directors,  that  had  chosen  to  approve  in  2016  the 
candidate elected by the Total Actionnariat International Capitalisation 

fund (employees of international subsidiaries) to diversify the origin of 
the  employees  represented  on  the  Board  of  Directors  after  the 
Shareholders’  Meeting  appointed  on  four  occasions  from  2004  to 
2013 a representative of the Total Actionnariat France fund (French 
employees),  this  time  decided  to  approve  the  application  of  the 
representative  of  the  Total  Actionnariat  France  fund  taking  into 
account, on the one hand, that it is the fund representing the largest 
number  of  employee  shareholders  and,  on  the  other  hand,  the 
ongoing  evolution  of  French  legislation,  which  will  lead  to  the 
appointment of a second director representing the employees in the 
Board to be appointed by the European Committee of the Group. 

At  the  end  of  the  Shareholders’  Meeting  of  May  29,  2019,  if  the 
proposed resolutions were approved, the Board of Directors would 
comprise 12 members (as previously). The proportion of Directors of 
each  sex  would  be  greater  than  40%  in  accordance  with  the 
provisions of Article L. 225- 18- 1 of the French Commercial Code (1).

4.1.2.1  Working procedures of the Board of Directors 

The working procedures of the Board of Directors are set out in its 
Rules of Procedure, which specify 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  his  appointment  by  the  Board  of  Directors  on 
September 15, 2009. 

Since  November  4,  2014,  the  date  of  the  first  appointment  of  the 
director representing employees on the Board of Directors, a member 
of the Central Works Council (replaced since December 2018 by the 
Central  Social  and  Economic  Committee)  attends  Board  meetings 
in an advisory capacity, pursuant to Article L. 2312- 75 of the French 
Labor Code. 

The Rules of Procedure of the Board of Directors are reviewed on a 
regular basis in order 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 
in 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 functions 
of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and to define 
his or her duties. In July 2018, changes were made in response to 
the new demands pertaining to social and environmental responsibility 
further to the revision of the AFEP-MEDEF Code in June 2018. 

The text of the latest unabridged version of the Rules of Procedure of 
the Board of Directors, as approved by the Board of Directors at its 
meeting on July 25, 2018, is provided below. It is also available on the 
Company’s website under “Our Group/Our identity/Our governance”.

environment  and  the  main  challenges  facing  the  Company,

the Group that exceed 3% of shareholders’ equity as well as 
any significant transaction outside the announced strategy of

Company’s  operations,  in  particular  for  investments  and 
divestments involving amounts exceeding 1% of shareholders’ 
equity;

(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”. 
(3)  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

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. 

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,  its  challenges  in  terms  of  social  and 
environmental responsibility as well as 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  from 
participating in any debates 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 

7. Directors must make all necessary arrangements to declare,
pursuant  to  the  form  and  timeframe  provided  by  applicable
law, to the French securities regulator (Autorité des marchés
financiers),  as  well  as  to  the  Secretary  of  the  Board  of
Directors, any transaction involving the Company’s securities
conducted  by  themselves  or  by  any  other  person  to  whom
they are closely related.

3. FUNCTIONING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

While in office, directors are required to hold the minimum number 
of registered shares of the Company as set by the bylaws. 

3.1  Board meetings 

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.

3.  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.

4. Moreover,  directors  shall  comply,  where  applicable,  with  the
provisions of Article L. 225- 197- 1 of the French Commercial
Code, which stipulates that free shares may not be sold:
– 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.

5. Directors are prohibited from carrying out transactions on any
financial  instruments  related  to  the  Company’s  share  (Paris
option market (MONEP), warrants, exchangeable bonds, etc.), 
and  from  buying  on  margin  or  short  selling  such  financial
instruments.

6. Directors  are  also  prohibited  from  hedging  the  shares  of
the Company and any financial instruments related to them,
and in particular:

– Company shares that they hold; and, where applicable,
- Company share subscription or purchase options,
- rights  to  Company  shares  that  may  be  awarded  free  of

charge, and

- Company  shares  obtained  from  the  exercise  of  options 

or granted free of charge.

The  Board  of  Directors  meets  at  least  four  times  a  year  and 
whenever circumstances require. 

Prior  to  each  Board  meeting,  the  directors  receive  the  agenda 
and, whenever possible, all other materials necessary to consider 
for the session. 

Directors  may  be  represented  by  another  director  at  a  meeting 
of the Board, provided that no director holds more than one proxy 
at any single meeting. 

Whenever  authorized  by  law,  directors  are  considered  present 
for  quorum  and  majority  purposes  who  attend  Board  meetings 
through  video  conferencing  or  other  audiovisual  means  that  are 
compliant  with  the  technical  requirements  set  by  applicable 
regulations. 

3.2  Directors’ fees 

The Board of Directors allocates annual directors’ fees within the 
total  amount  authorized  by  the  Annual  Shareholders’  Meeting.

As of March 13, 2019, the Committee is made up of four members, 
with a 100% rate of independence. 

The careers of the Committee members confirm their possession of 
acknowledged  expertise  in  the  financial,  accounting  or  audit  fields 
(refer to point 4.1.1.1 above). Ms. Coisne- Roquette was appointed 
“financial  expert”  of  the  Committee  by  the  Board  at  its  meeting  of

Duties 

The rules of procedure of the Audit Committee define the Committee’s 
duties as well as its working procedures. After having been modified 
on February 8, 2017, in order to adapt the missions of the Committee 
to  the  European  audit  reform,  the  Committee’s  rules  of  procedure 
were last modified on July 25, 2018, in order to take account of the 
new social and environmental responsibility requirements, further to 
the revision of the AFEP-MEDEF Code in June 2018. The text of the 
unabridged version of the rules of procedure approved by the Board 
of Directors on July 25, 2018, is available on TOTAL’s website under

Notwithstanding  the  duties  of  the  Board  of  Directors,  the  Audit

(Haut  Conseil  du
High  Council  of  statutory  auditors 
Commissariat  aux  comptes)  further  to  the  inspection  of  the
auditors in question in application of the legal provisions, where 
appropriate;

– ensuring  that  the  statutory  auditors  meet  the  conditions  of
independence  as  defined  by  the  regulations,  and  analyzing

the Group to the statutory auditors, including for services other 
than the certification of the financial statements, and making
sure that the rules applying to the maximum length of the term
of  the  statutory  auditors  and  the  obligation  to  alternate  are
obeyed; and

other  than  those  relating  to  the  certification  of  the  financial

its independence, and in this respect: 
– checking that these systems exist and are deployed, and that
actions  are  taken  to  correct  any  identified  weaknesses  or
anomalies,

– examining,  based  in  particular  on  the  risk  maps  developed

– overseeing the implementation of the Group’s Financial Code

The Audit Committee’s work mainly focused on the following areas: 

of Ethics,

– proposing  to  the  Board  of  Directors,  for  implementation,  a
procedure 
for  complaints  or  concerns  of  employees,
shareholders and others, related to accounting, internal control 
or  auditing  matters,  and  monitoring  the  implementation  of
this procedure, and

– where  appropriate,  examining  important  operations  in  which

a conflict of interests could have arisen.

The  Audit  Committee  reports  to  the  Board  of  Directors  on  the 
performance of its duties. It also reports on the results of the statutory 
auditors’  mission  concerning  the  certification  of  the  financial 
statements,  on  how  this  mission  contributed  to  the  integrity  of  the 
accounting  and  financial  information  and  its  role  in  this  process. 
It shall inform the Board of Directors without delay of any difficulties 
encountered. 

Organization of activities 

The Committee meets at least seven times each year: each quarter to 
review in particular the statutory financial statements of the Company, 
and the annual and quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements, and 
at least on three other occasions 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  Chief  Financial  Officer  presents  the  Consolidated 
Financial  Statements  and  the  statutory  financial  statements  of  the 
Company, as well as the Group’s financial position and, in particular, 
its  liquidity,  cash  flow  and  debt  situation.  A  memo  describing  risk 
exposure  and  off-balance  sheet  commitments  is  communicated  to 
the  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, as well as internal audits with regard to the 
procedures relating to the production and processing of accounting, 
financial and non- financial information, 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,  as  well  as  updates  to  them,  are 
presented regularly to the 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  as  well  as,  if  applicable,  any 
Deputy  Chief  Executive  Officer  of  the  Company.  It  may  perform 
inspections and consult with managers of operating or non- operating 
department, as may be useful in performing its duties. The Chairman 
of the Committee gives prior notice of such meeting to the Chairman 
and  Chief  Executive  Officer  or,  if  the  functions  of  Chairman  of  the 
Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer are separate, both the 
Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer. 
In particular, 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 Department) by asking the Company’s Chief Financial Officer 
to call them to a meeting. 

The Committee consults with the statutory auditors regularly, including 
at  least  once  a  year  without  any  Company  representative  present. 
If  it  is  informed  of  a  substantial  irregularity,  it  recommends  to  the 
Board of Directors all appropriate action. 

If  it  considers  that  it  is  necessary  for  the  accomplishment  of  its 
mission, the Committee can ask the Board of Directors for resources 
to receive assistance or conduct external studies on subjects within its 
competence. If the Committee calls on external consulting services, 
it makes sure that they are objective. 

Work of the Audit Committee 

In 2018, the Audit Committee met seven times, with an attendance 
rate  of  100%.  The  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  did  not 
attend any of the meetings of the Audit Committee.

Duties 

Work of the Strategy & CSR Committee 

The rules of procedure of the Strategy & CSR Committee define the 
Committee’s duties as well as its working procedures. They were last 
modified on July 25, 2018, in order to take account of the new social 
and environmental responsibility requirements, further to the revision 
of the AFEP- MEDEF Code in June 2018. The text of the unabridged 
version of the rules of procedure approved by the Board of Directors 
on  July  25,  2018,  is  available  on  TOTAL’s  website  under  “Our 
Group/Our identity/Our Governance”. 

To allow the Board of Directors of TOTAL S.A. to ensure the Group’s

4.1.3  Report of the Lead Independent Director on her mandate 

4 

During  the  Board  meeting  of  February  6,  2019,  Ms.  Barbizet 
presented  a  report  on  her  mandate  as  Lead  Independent  Director. 
The  Lead  Independent  Director  indicated  that  she  exercised  her 
duties during the 2018 fiscal year as follows: 

— Contact with the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer: 

The Lead Independent Director has been a privileged interlocutor of 
the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer with respect to significant 
matters  concerning  the  Group’s  business  and  preparing  meetings 
of the Board of Directors. The Lead Independent Director thus met 
the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer very regularly, on a monthly 
basis, and before each meeting of the Board of Directors. 

— Assessment of the Board of Directors’ practices: 

The  Lead  Independent  Director  conducted  the  assessment  of  the 
Board of Directors’ practices. 

— Avoidance of conflicts of interest: 

The Lead Independent Director has performed due diligence in order 
to identify and analyze potential conflicts of interest. She brought to 
the attention of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer the potential 
conflicts of interest that had been identified. The Lead Independent 
Director was consulted in July 2018 by a director about a potential 
conflict of interest arising due to that director’s possible participation 
in Committee of an energy- related entity in an Asian country. Due to 
the  absence  of  a  conflict  of  interest,  this  director  then  decided  to 
respond to the offer to chair this Committee. The Lead Independent 
Director  was  also  consulted  in  October  2018  by  the  director 
concerning  that  director’s  potential  participation  to  a  strategic 
committee of a fund manager. He was answered positively. 

— Monitoring of the Board’s practices: 

The Lead Independent Director held  a meeting of the independent 
directors  on  December  12,  2018.  At  the  meeting,  the  discussions 
related  in  particular  to  increasing  the  senior  executives’  knowledge 
of the Group, with a particular view to the succession plans, and to 
analyzing the impact of disruptive scenarios on the Group’s situation. 

— Relationships with shareholders: 

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the Lead Independent 
Director  are  the  privileged  points  of  contacts  for  shareholders 
concerning matters under the Board’s responsibility. In accordance 
with the provisions of the rules of procedure of the Board, when the 
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is solicited in this area, he may 
consult the Lead Independent Director before responding. 

When  the  Lead  Independent  Director  is  solicited  in  this  area,  she 
informs  the  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  gives  her 
opinion, so that the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer can give 
appropriate  response  to  the  request.  The  Chairman  and  Chief 
Executive  Officer  informs  the  Lead  Independent  Director  of  the 
response. 

In addition, the Lead Independent Director participated on June 28, 
2018  with  the  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  in  a  meeting 
with a large shareholder of the Company. He also participated with 
the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in another conference call 
on  December  10,  2018  with  another  large  shareholder  of  the 
Company. The terms discussed during these two meetings included 
the functioning of the Board of Directors, the exercise by the Lead 
Director  of  the  missions  entrusted  to  her  by  the  Board,  the  way  in 
which the Board manages the risks facing the Company as well as 
the compensation of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. 

The  Lead  Independent  Director  presented  to  the  shareholders  her 
report  on  the  her  mandate  during  the  Shareholders’  Meeting  on 
June 1st, 2018. 

— Visits to Group sites by the Directors: 

Ms. Barbizet took part, with other directors, in the following visits to 
Group sites: 

—  Yamal LNG plant (October 26, 2018); 
—  Akpo field and Bonny LNG plant in Nigeria (December 18, 2018). 

These site visits provided the opportunity for the directors concerned 
to meet Group executives and partners as well as leading figures in 
the energy sector.

4 REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 

Administration and management bodies 

4.1.4  Evaluation of the functioning of the Board of Directors 

Once a year, the Board of Directors discusses its functioning. It also 
conducts  a  formal  assessment  of  its  own  functioning  at  regular 
intervals of up to three years. The evaluation is carried out under the 
supervision  of  the  Lead  Independent  Director,  if  one  has  been 
appointed,  or  under  the  supervision  of  the  Governance  and  Ethics 
Committee,  with  the  assistance  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 of March 13, 2019, the Board of Directors discussed 
its  functioning.  Ms.  Barbizet,  Lead  Independent  Director,  managed 
this evaluation process in January and February 2019 on the basis of 
a  formal  assessment  carried  out  with  the  help  of  an  outside 
consultant,  in  the  form  of  a  detailed  questionnaire.  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 functioning 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.). 

Furthermore, the main suggestions for improving the Board made by 
the directors during their January 2016, January 2017 and January 
2018 self- assessments have been implemented: 

—  monitoring  risks  at  Board  level:  an  annual  presentation  of  the 
Group’s risk map is now on the Board’s agenda. Presentations 
were  given  at  the  Board  meetings  of  April  26,  2016,  April  26, 
2017 and April 25, 2018; 

—  changes to the composition of the Board: the Governance and 
Ethics Committee’s proposals to the Board of Directors met the 

4.1.5  General Management 

expectations of the Board members, particularly with the addition 
of  the  experience  of  two  Chief  executive  officers  of  leading 
companies,  who  joined  the  Board  following  the  Shareholders’ 
Meeting of May 26, 2017; 

—  independent directors’ meeting: now held at least once a year at 
the  initiative  of  the  Lead  Independent  Director.  Meetings  took 
place  on  December  21,  2016,  December  12,  2017,  and 
December 12, 2018; 

—  secure platform to access the Board’s documents: the platform 
was put in place as of September 21, 2016, for Board meetings 
and as of April 24, 2017, for Audit Committee meetings, with the 
establishment of a directors’ manual in June 2018; 

—  succession plan for the executive directors: the succession plan 
for  executive  directors  was  reviewed  at  the  meeting  of  the 
Governance  and  Ethics  Committee  of  February  8,  2017  and 
February 7, 2018. 

The  assessment conducted in January and February 2019 highlighted 
the  directors’  satisfaction  with  the  functioning  of  the  Board  of 
Directors,  both  in  terms  of  form  and  substance,  and,  in  particular, 
concerning freedom of expression, the quality of dialog, the collegiality 
of decision- making as well as the relevance of subjects addressed. 
The  directors  particularly  appreciated  the  pace  and  agenda  of 
meetings,  the  quality  of  the  exchanges  during  lunches  before  the 
meetings and during the visits to Group sites organized for them, as 
well as the quality of relations with the Lead Independent Director. 

The  Board  of  Directors  made  the  following  suggestions  that  could 
further improve its functioning: 

—  consider alternative disruptive scenarios within the framework of 

the strategic consideration; 

—  increase opportunities to meet the Group’s executive officers; and 

—  prepare the succession plan for key positions among the Board 

of Directors. 

4.1.5.1  Unified Management Form 

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. As a result, since that date, 
Mr. Pouyanné has 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 decided, at its meeting 
on  October  22,  2014,  to  separate  the  functions  of  Chairman  and 
Chief Executive Officer in order to best ensure the transition of the 
General  Management.  The  Board  of  Directors  therefore  appointed 
Mr. Pouyanné as Chief Executive Officer for a term of office expiring 
following the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting called in 2017 to approve 
the 2016 financial statements (1), 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 limit 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. 

At the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of June 1, 2018, Mr. Pouyanné’s 
directorship  was  renewed  for  a  period  of  three  years,  i.e.,  until  the 
end  of  the  Shareholders’  Meeting  in  2021  that  will  approve  the 
accounts  of  fiscal  year  2020.  On  the  proposal  of  the  Governance 
and  Ethics  Committee,  approved  by  the  meeting  of  the  Board  of 
Directors of March 14, 2018, the latter met after the Shareholders’ 
Meeting and unanimously decided to renew Mr. Pouyanné’s term of 
office as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for the duration of 
his directorship. 

At  the  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  March  14,  2018,  the 
Lead  Independent  Director  notably  reiterated  that  the  proposal  to 
continue  to  combine  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  in  the  interests  of  the 
Company. In this regard, the unified Management Form was deemed 
to be most appropriate to the Group’s organization, modus operandi 
and business, and to the specific features of the oil and gas sectors, 
particularly in light of the advantage for the Group of having a unified 
management  in  strategic  negotiations  with  States  and  the  Group’s 
partners. 

(1)  The meeting of the Board of Directors of December 16, 2015, decided to extend the term of this office to the end of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting of June 1, 2018, date of expiry of 

the preceding term of office of Mr. Pouyanné as director.

The   Lead  Independent   Director   also   reiterated   that  the   Group’s 
governance structure ensures 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 the event 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, skills and expertises. 

In addition, the Board’s Rules of Procedure provide that investments 
and divestments considered by the Group exceeding 3% of equity, 
as  well  as  any  significant  transactions  not  included  in  the announced 
Company  strategy,  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  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 in case of urgency, by the Chairman or by a third of its members, 
at any time and as often as required to ensure the best interests of 
the Company. 

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 in point 4.1.2.1 of this chapter. 

4.1.5.2  Executive Committee and Group 

Performance Management Committee 

The Executive Committee 

The Executive Committee, under the responsibility of the Chairman 
and Chief Executive Officer, is the decision- making body of the Group. 

It implements the strategy formulated by the Board of Directors and 
authorizes related investments, subject to the approval of the Board 
of Directors for investments exceeding 3% of the Group’s equity, as 
well  as  any  significant  transactions  not  included  in  the  announced 
company   strategy,   or   notification   of   the  Board   for   investments 
exceeding 1% of equity. 

In 2018, the Executive Committee met at least twice a month, except 
in August when it met once.

The Group Performance Management Committee 

The mission of the Group Performance Management Committee is 
to examine, analyze and monitor the HSE, financial and operational 
results of the Group. It is chaired by the Chairman and Chief Executive 
Officer and meets monthly. 

In addition to the members of the Executive Committee, this Committee 
is made up of the heads of the Group’s main business units, as well 
as  a  limited  number  of  Senior  Vice  Presidents  of  functions  at  the 
Group and business segments levels. 

Balanced representation of women and men and diversity 
results in the 10% of positions at TOTAL S.A. with the 
highest responsibilities (Article L. 225- 37- 4, 6° of the French 
Commercial Code) 

TOTAL  is  committed  to  respecting  the  principle  of  equal  treatment 
for  women  and  men;  it  promotes  this  fundamental  principle  and 
ensures that it is correctly applied. Equal treatment for women and 

men  is  promoted  in  the  Group  through  a  global  policy  of  gender 
diversity,  goals  set  by  General  Management,  a  Human  Resources 
process that takes the issue of gender into consideration, agreements 
in  favor  of  a  better  work- life  balance  (such  as  the  agreement  on 
remote working in France) and awareness- raising and training actions. 

In terms of TOTAL S.A., the Group’s commitment in favor of diversity 
took shape in 2016 with the arrival of the President of the People & 
Social  Responsibility  division  to  the  Group’s  Executive  Committee 
(7  people).  With  regard  to  diversity  in  the  10%  of  the  highest 
management  positions  of  the  Company,  the  proportion  of  women 
equals  15%.  At  Group  level,  which  is  the  most  relevant  perimeter 
considering TOTAL’s activities, this proportion equals 21% (1). 

For further information, refer to point 5.3.3 of chapter 5.

REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 

4.2  Statement regarding corporate governance 

For many years, TOTAL has taken an active approach to corporate 
governance and at its meeting on November 4, 2008, the Board of 
Directors  decided  to  refer  to  the  AFEP-MEDEF  Code  of  Corporate 
Governance  for  publicly  traded  companies  (available  on  the  AFEP 
and MEDEF websites). 

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  the  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.  The  Code  was  also  revised  in  November  2016  in  order 
to  clarify  and  complete  certain  recommendations,  in  particular  on 
the  independence  of  directors,  CSR  and  the  compensation  of  the 
executive  directors.  Finally,  the  AFEP- MEDEF  Code  was  revised  in 
June 2018, in particular in order to take increased account of corporate 
social and environmental responsibility. It also contains more stringent 
requirements in the realms of non- discrimination and diversity. 

Pursuant  to  Article  L.  225-37- 4  of  the  French  Commercial  Code, 
the following table sets forth the sole recommendation made in the 
AFEP- MEDEF  Code  that  the  Company  has  opted  not  to  follow  as 
well as the reasons for such decision. 

RECOMMENDATIONS NOT FOLLOWED 

EXPLANATION – PRACTICE FOLLOWED BY TOTAL 

Supplementary pension plan (point 24.6.2 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. 

It  appeared  justified  not  to  deprive  the  relevant  beneficiaries  of 
the benefit of the pension commitments made by the Company in 
the particular 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.

In recent years, the Company’s practices have evolved in two areas 
concerning the recommendations made in the AFEP- MEDEF Code. 

First, a meeting of directors not attended by the executive directors 
has  been  held  annually  since  2017.  The  recommendation  made  in 
the AFEP- MEDEF Code (point 10.3) stating that “It is recommended 
that a meeting not attended by the executive officers be organized 
each year” is thus followed. 

Second, concerning the recommendation made in the AFEP-MEDEF 
Code concerning the composition of the Compensation Committee 
that  one  “employee  director  should  be  a  member”,  the  Board  of 
Directors  approved  on  February  8,  2017,  the  proposal  of  the 
Governance and Ethics Committee to appoint Ms. Renata Perycz as 
a  member  of  the  Compensation  Committee  as  of  the  Shareholder 
Meeting  of  May  26,  2017.  Ms.  Perycz,  thanks  to  the  nature  of  her 
salaried duties in the Group, brings in particular to the Compensation 
Committee her experience in Human Resources. 

4.3  Compensation for the administration

and management bodies 

4.3.1  Board members’ compensation 

Aggregate amount of directors’ fees 

—  a fixed annual portion of €20,000 per director (1); 

The  conditions  applicable  to  Board  members’  compensation  are 
defined by the Board of Directors on the proposal of the Governance 
and Ethics Committee, subject to the aggregate maximum amount 
of directors’ fees authorized by the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting of 
May 17, 2013, and set at €1.4 million per fiscal year. 

In 2018, the aggregate amount of directors’ fees due to the members 
of the Board of Directors (12 directors on December 31, 2018) was 
€1.4 million.

Rules for allocating directors’ fees 

The directors’ fees for fiscal year 2018 are allocated according to a 
formula comprised of fixed compensation and variable compensation 
based  on  fixed  amounts  per  meeting,  which  makes  it  possible  to 
take into account each director’s actual attendance at the meetings 
of  the  Board  of  Directors  and  its  Committees,  subject  to  the 
conditions below: 

—  a fixed annual portion (1) of €30,000 for the Chairman of the Audit 

Committee (2); 

—  a  fixed  annual  porti on (1)  of  €25,000  for  the  Audit  Committee 

members (2); 

—  a  fixed  annual  portion (1)  of  €25,000  for  the  Chairman  of  the 
Governance and Ethics Committee and for the Chairman of the 
Compensation Committee (2); 

—  an  additional  fixed  annual  portion (1)  of  €30,000  for  the  Lead 

Independent Director (beyond amounts above); 

—  an amount of €7,500 per director for each Board of Directors’ 
meeting actually attended (in view of the additional workload of 
the Board); 

—  an  amount  of  €3,500  per  director  for  each  Governance  and 
Ethics  Committee,  Compensation  Committee  or  Strategy  and 
CSR Committee meeting actually attended; 

(1)  Calculated on a pro rata basis, in the event of change in the course of the year. 
(2)  To be substituted to the €20,000 fixed annual portion per director. In case of accumulation of the functions of director and/or Audit Committee member and/or Chairman of a Committee 

(Audit, Governance and Ethics, Compensation), the difference between the fixed annual portion per director and the fixed annual portion of the other functions is added.

Compensation for the administration and management bodies 

—  an  amount  of  €7,000  per  director  for  each  Audit  Committee 

meeting actually attended; and 

equal to the amount of €1.4 million authorized by the Shareholders’ 
Meeting. 

—  a premium of €4,000 for travel from outside France to attend a 

Board of Directors’ or Committee meeting. 

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer does not receive directors’ 
fees for his work on the Board and Committees of TOTAL S.A. 

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  each  fiscal  year  are  paid  following  a  decision  by  the  Board  of 
Directors, on the proposal of the Governance and Ethics Committee, 
at the beginning of the following 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. 

In  view  of  the  number  of  Board  and  Committee  meetings  held  in 
fiscal year 2018, the above allocation rules produced an amount of 
€1,610,000, which is higher than the cap voted by the Shareholders’ 
Meeting of May 17, 2013. Consequently, this amount was prorated, 
in application of the decision of the Board of Directors’ decision of 
February 9, 2012, so that the amount paid to the directors was at most 

The  table  below  presents  the  total  compensation  and  including 
in- kind  benefits  due  and  paid  during  the  previous  two  fiscal  years 
to  each  executive  and  non- executive  director  in  duties  during  the 
fiscal year. 

Ms.  Christine  Renaud,  the  director  representing  employees  since 
May 26, 2017, participates in the internal defined contribution pension 
plan applicable to all TOTAL S.A. employees, known as RECOSUP 
(Régime collectif et obligatoire de retraite supplémentaire à cotisations 
définies), governed by Article L. 242- 1 of the French Social Security 
Code.  The  Company’s  commitment  is  limited  to  its  share  of  the 
contribution paid to the insurance company that manages the plan. 
For fiscal year 2018, this pension plan represented a booked expense 
to TOTAL S.A. in favor of Ms. Renaud of €647. 

During the past two years, the directors currently in office have not 
received any compensation or in- kind benefits from TOTAL S.A. or 
from  its  controlled  companies  other  than  those  mentioned  in  the 
table below. 

Moreover,  there  is  no  service  contract  between  a  director  and 
TOTAL S.A. or any of its controlled companies that provides for the 
grant of benefits under such a contract.

4.3.2.1  Compensation of Mr. Patrick Pouyanné 

for fiscal year 2018 

This  report  by  the  Board  of  Directors,  on  the  proposal  of  the 
Compensation Committee, and in application of Article L. 225- 37- 3 of 
the French Commercial Code, presents the total compensation and 
benefits of all kinds, paid to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer 
in the fiscal year 2018 (1). It makes the distinction between the fixed, 
variable  and  extraordinary  components  of  the  total  compensation 
and  benefits,  as  well  as  the  criteria  used  to  calculate  them  or  the 
circumstances  due  to  which  they  were  attributed.  This  report  also 
mentions all the commitments of all kinds made by the Company in 
favor  of  the  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  corresponding

other annuities. 

The  payment  to  the  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  of  the 
variable component for fiscal year 2018 is conditional on the approval 
of  the  Ordinary  Shareholders’  Meeting  on  May  29,  2019,  of  the 
compensation  components  of  the  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive 
Officer,  under  the  conditions  stipulated  in  Articles  L.  225- 37- 2, 
L. 225- 100, and R. 225- 29- 1 of the French Commercial Code (decree 
No. 2017- 340 of March 16, 2017, applicable since March 18, 2017). 

The Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting on May 29, 2019 will be called 
on  to  approve  the  fixed  and  variable  components  of  the  total 
compensation and the benefits of any kind paid or attributed to the 
Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  for  the  fiscal  year  2018,  in 
application of Article L. 225- 100 of the French Commercial Code. 

(1)  Including attributions in the form of stock, securities or rights giving accès to the company’s share capital or rights to the attribution of securities of the Company or of the companies

Annual variable
compensation 

€1,725,900 
(amount to be paid 
in 2019) 

The  variable  portion  of  Mr.  Pouyanné’s  compensation  for  his  duties  as  Chairman  and 
Chief Executive Officer for fiscal year 2018 has been set at €1,725,900, corresponding

The  Board  of  Directors  assessed  achievement  of  the  targets  set  for  the  economic 
parameters as follows: 

—  The safety criterion was assessed for a maximum of 20% of the base salary through 
(i) the achievement of the annual TRIR (Total Recordable Injury Rate) target, (ii) the 
number of accidental deaths per million hours worked, FIR (Fatality Incident Rate) 
compared to those of the four large competitor oil companies (ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch 
Shell, BP and Chevron), as well as (iii) through change in the Tier 1 + Tier 2 indicator (2). 

These three sub-criteria were assessed based on the elements set out in the 2018 
compensation policy for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, as approved by 
the Shareholders’ Meeting of June 1, 2018, and providing that: 

–  the  maximum  weighting  of  the  TRIR  criterion  is  12%  of  the  base  salary.  The 
maximum weighting is reached if the TRIR is less than 0.9; the weighting of the 
criterion is zero if the TRIR is greater than or equal to 1.5. The interpolations are 
linear between these points of reference, 

–  the maximum weighting of the FIR criterion is 4% of the base salary. The maximum 
weighting is reached if the FIR is the best of the majors’ panel ; it is zero if the FIR is 
the worst of the panel. The interpolations are linear between these points of reference, 
–  the maximum weighting of the Tier 1 + Tier 2 criterion is 4% of the base salary. 
The maximum weighting is reached if the number of incidents is less than 100, it is 
zero if the number of incidents is greater than 200. The interpolations are linear 
between these points of reference. 

(1)  Net debt/shareholders’ equity + net debt before IFRS 16 impact. 
(2) Tier 1 and Tier 2: indicator of the number of loss of primary containment events, with more or less significant consequences, as defined by the API 754 (for downstream) and IOGP 456 

(for upstream) standards. Excluding acts of sabotage and theft.

Presentation 

Concerning the 2018 fiscal year, the following elements were noted: 

–  the TRIR was 0.91, which is above the target of 0.9. The result of this criterion 

was thus set at 11.80%; 

–  the FIR rate is 0.88, the last of the majors’ panel. The result of this criterion was 

thus fixed at 0%; 

–  the number of Tier 1 + Tier 2 incidents was 103, which is above the target of 100. 

The result of this criterion was set at 3.88%. 

The result of the criterion related to the safety performance was thus set at 15.68%. 

—  The return on equity (ROE) criterion (1), was assessed for a maximum of 30% of the 
base salary, based on the elements set out in the 2018 compensation policy of the 
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, as approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting of 
June 1, 2018, and providing that: 

–  the maximum weighting of the criterion is reached if the ROE is greater than or 

equal to 13%, 

–  the weighting of the criterion is zero if the ROE is less than or equal to 6%, 
–  the weighting of the criterion is at 50% of the maximum, i.e., 15%, for an ROE of 8%, 
–  the interpolations are linear between these three points of reference. 

The Board of Directors noted that the ROE for fiscal year 2018 was 12.2%, i.e., higher 
than the target announced by the Group to the shareholders but below the limit of 
13% corresponding to the maximum weighting. The result of this criterion was thus 
set at 27.6%. 

—  The  net-debt- to- equity  ratio  criterion  (net  debt/shareholders’  equity  +  net  debt 
before IFRS 16 impact), was assessed for a maximum of 40% of the base salary, 
based  on  the  elements  set  out  in  the  compensation  policy  of  the  Chairman  and 
Chief Executive Officer for 2018, as approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting of June 
1, 2018 and providing that: 

–  the maximum weighting of the criterion is reached for a net debt-to-equity ratio 

equal to or less than 20%, 

–  the  weighting  of  the  criterion  is  zero  for  a  net-debt-to-equity  ratio  equal  to  or 

greater than 30%, 

–  the interpolations are linear between these two points of reference. 

The Board of Directors noted that the net-debt-to- equity ratio at 2018 year- end was 
15.5%,  i.e.,  below  20%.  The  target  to  maintain  a  net-debt- to- equity  ratio  below 
20% being fully reached, the result of this criterion was set to its maximum at 40%. 

—  The criterion related to the change in the Group’s adjusted net income  (ANI) 
was  assessed  by  comparison  with  those  of  the  four  large  oil  companies  on  the 
basis of estimates calculated by a group of leading financial analysts (2), based on 
the elements set out in the compensation policy of the Chairman and Chief Executive 
Officer for 2018, as approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting of June 1, 2018 and 
providing that: 

–  the comparison is made on the average three- year progress of the ANI (a sliding 
three- year average of the ANI for each of the four companies in the panel applies, 
and  the  arithmetical  average  of  these  four  averages  is  then  calculated  and 
compared with the changes in TOTAL’s ANI), 

–  if  the  Group  does  better  than  the  value  observed  for  the  panel,  plus  12%, 
the weighting of the criterion is equal to the maximum of 50% of the base salary, 
–  the  weighting  of  the  criterion  is  60%  of  this  maximum  if  the  performance  of 

the Group is identical to that of the panel, 

–  the weighting of the criterion is zero if the performance of the Group is identical 

to that of the panel, minus 12%, 

–  the interpolations are linear between these points of reference. 

The  Board  of  Directors  noted  with  regret  that,  whereas  the  income  of  the  Group 
reached a higher level in 2018 with the price of oil at $71/b compared to 2014 with 
the  price  of  oil  at  $99/b,  this  criterion  presents  an  anomalous  result:  due  to  their 
very  strong  counter-performance  in  2016  and  2017,  two  companies  of  the  panel 
saw a strong growth of their relative performance in 2018 compared to 2017 in view 
of the evolution of the price of crude oil. As a result, the Group’s performance was 
below than that of the panel minus 12% and the result of this criterion was 0%. 

(1)  The   Group   evaluates   ROE   as   the   ratio   of   adjusted   consolidated   net   income   to   average   adjusted   shareholders’   equity   between   the   beginning   and   the   end   of   the   period.   Adjusted 
shareholders’ equity for fiscal year 2018 is calculated after payment of a dividend of €2.56 per share, subject to approval by the Shareholders’ Meeting on May 29, 2019. The ROE was 
10.15% in 2017. 

(2)  Adjusted results are defined as income at replacement cost, excluding non- recurring items and the impact of fair value changes. The annual ANI of each peer used for the calculation is 
determined by taking the average of the ANIs published by a panel of six financial analysts: UBS, Crédit Suisse, Barclays, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank. 
If any of these analysts is unable to publish the results of one or more peers for a given year, it will be replaced, for the year and for the peer(s) in question, in the order listed, by an analyst 
included in the following additional list: Jefferies, HSBC, Société Générale, Goldman Sachs and Citi. The ANIs used will be set according to these analysts’ last publications two business 
days after the publication of the press release announcing the “fourth quarter and annual results” of the last peer.

of Directors determined that the targets set were largely achieved in fiscal year 2018, 
particularly those related to: 

—  Steering of the strategy and successful strategic negotiations with producing countries, 

and achievement of production and reserve targets, for a maximum of 15%: 

The Board of Directors has set the result of this criterion at its maximum because of 
the success in the Group’s strategic negotiations with the producing countries and 
the  achievement  of  the  production  and  reserve  objectives.  The  Board  noted  in 
particular: 

–  the  finalization  by  Petrobras  and  TOTAL  of  the  transfer  of  participation  of  the 

Lapa and Iara concessions in Brazil, 

–  the finalization of the acquisition and integration of Mærsk Oil, 
–  the  extension  of  two  offshore  concessions  in  the  United  Arab  Emirates  in

8.17% compared to 2017 and the rate of renewal of reserves recorded at December 
31,  2018  which  is  established  (with  an  average  price  passing  from  $54.36/b  in 
2017 to $71.43/b in 2018) to + 157%. 

4 

—  Performance  and  outlook  with  respect  to  Downstream  activities  (Refining  & 
Chemicals/Marketing & Services) and the Group’s gas- electricity- renewables growth 
strategy for a maximum of 10%: 

The  Board  of  Directors  set  the  result  of  this  criterion  to  its  maximum,  i.e.,  10% 
because  of  the  success  in  development  of  the  activities.  The  Board  noted  in 
particular: 

–  the launch of the construction of the steam cracker in Port Arthur,

—  CSR performance, notably taking into account the climate into the Group’s Strategy, 
the Group’s reputation in the domain of Corporate Social Responsibility as well as 
the policy concerning all aspects of diversity, for a maximum of 15%: 

The Board of Directors has set the result of this criterion at its maximum i.e. 15% 
because of the success in the actions realized in 2018 in the following fields:

Fondation d’entreprise, with significant partnerships and the launch of Action! 
Global  Solidarity  Program  which  allows  all  Group  employees  to  take  up  to 
three days on working time for the benefit of associations. 

–  Regarding non- financial rating agencies: 

- maintaining TOTAL in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes – DJSI World and 

Europe indices,

- the  retention  of  the  B-   rating  of  TOTAL  with  the  non-financial  rating  agency 
ISS- oekom (on a scale from A + to D- ) and its “Prime” status (value recommended 
to socially responsible investors), 

- TOTAL’s ranking in the Corporate Human Rights Benchmark (9th in the extractive 

sector – 4th  Oil & Gas company, behind ENI, Shell and BP). 

–  Taking climate into account in the Group’s strategy: 

- the  announcement  of  an  ambition  to  reduce  the  carbon  intensity  of  energy 

products used by its customers by 15% by 2030, 

- the announcement of a target to reduce methane emissions with an intensity of

- the  continued  development  on  the  integrated  low  carbon  electricity  chain: 
acquisition  of  Direct  Énergie  in  France  and  Clean  Energy  Fuels  Corp.  in  the 
United States, and of 4 natural gas combined cycle plants (CCGT). 

–  Diversity policy: 

- TOTAL’s ranking in the top 10 of the Corporate Women Directors International 

Report (CWDI) in terms of diversity, 

- the  commitment  of  the  Group  in  the  fight  against  sexism  STOPE  (“Stop  au 

sexisme dit Ordinaire dans l’Entreprise”),

ILO’s Corporate & Disability Charter and the launch of the Group’s International 
Disability initiative (roll- out to 40 first voluntary subsidiaries). 

Being that all the objectives were considered as largely met by the Board, the personal 
contribution  of  the  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  was  thus  determined  at  its 
maximum, i.e., 40% of the fixed compensation. 

The Board of Directors has not granted any multi- year or deferred variable compensation. 

The Board of Directors has not granted any extraordinary compensation. 

Mr.  Pouyanné  does  not  receive  directors’  fees  for  his  duties  at  TOTAL  S.A.  or  at  the 
companies it controls. 

On March 14, 2018, Mr. Pouyanné was granted 72,000 existing shares of the Company 
(corresponding to 0.0028% of the share capital (2)) pursuant to the authorization of the 
Company’s Combined Shareholders’ Meeting of May 24, 2016 (twenty- fourth resolution) 
subject  to  the  conditions  set  out  below.  These  shares  were  granted  under  a  broader 
share plan approved by the Board of Directors on March 14, 2018, relating to 0.24% of 
the share capital in favor of more than 10,000 beneficiaries. The definitive grant of all the 
shares is subject to the beneficiary’s  continued presence within the Group during the 
vesting period and to performance conditions as described below. The definitive number 
of shares granted will be based on the comparative TSR (Total Shareholder Return) and 
the annual variation in net cash flow per share for fiscal years 2018 to 2020, applied as 
follows: 

—  the Company will be ranked against its peers (ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, BP 
and  Chevron)  each  year  during  the  three  vesting  years  (2018,  2019  and  2020), 
based on the TSR criterion of the last quarter of the year in question, the dividend 
being considered reinvested based on the closing price on the ex- dividend date. 

—  the Company will be ranked each year against its peers (ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch 
Shell, BP and Chevron) during the three vesting years (2018, 2019 and 2020) using 
the annual variation in net cash flow per share criterion expressed in dollar.

Based on the ranking, a grant rate will be determined for each year: 1st: 180% of the 
grant; 2nd: 130% of the grant; 3rd: 80% of the grant; 4th  and 5th: 0%. For each of the 
criteria, the average of the three grant rates obtained (for each of the three fiscal years 
for  which  the  performance  conditions  are  assessed)  will  be  rounded  to  the  nearest 
0.1 whole percent (0.05% being rounded to 0.1%) and capped at 100%. Each criterion 
will  have  a  weight  of  50%  in  the  definitive  grant  rate.  The  definitive  grant  rate  will  be 
rounded to the nearest 0.1 whole percent (0.05% being rounded to 0.1%). The number 
of shares definitively granted, after confirmation of the performance conditions, will be 
rounded to the nearest whole number of shares in case of a fractional lot. 

In  application  of  Article  L.  225- 197- 1  of  the  French  Commercial  Code,  Mr.  Pouyanné 
will, until the end of his term, be required to retain in the form of registered shares, 50% 
of  the  gains  on  the  granted  shares  net  of  tax  and  national  insurance  contributions 
related to the shares granted in 2018. When Mr. Pouyanné holds (1)  a volume of shares 
representing  five  times  the  fixed  portion  of  his  gross  annual  compensation,  this 
percentage will be equal to 10%. If this condition is no longer met, the above- mentioned 
50% holding requirement will again apply. 

In  addition,  the  Board  of  Directors  has  noted  that,  pursuant  to  the  Board’s  Rules  of 
Procedure  applicable  to  all  directors,  the  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  is  not 
allowed to hedge the shares of the Company or any related financial instruments and 
has taken note of Mr. Pouyanné’s commitment to abstain from such hedging operations 
with regard to the performance shares granted. 

The grant of performance shares to Mr. Pouyanné is subject to the same requirements 
applicable to the other beneficiaries of the performance share plan as approved by the 
Board at its meeting on March 14, 2018. In particular, these provisions stipulate that the 
shares  definitively  granted  at  the  end  of  the  three-year  vesting  period  will,  after 
confirmation of fulfillment of the presence and performance conditions, be automatically 
recorded as pure registered shares on the start date of the two- year holding period and 
will remain non- transferable and unavailable until the end of the holding period.

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is entitled to a company vehicle. 

He  is  covered  by  the  following  life  insurance  plans  provided  by  various  life  insurance 
companies: 

—  An “incapacity, disability, life insurance” plan applicable to all employees, partly paid for 
by the Company, that provides for two options in case of death of a married employee: 
either the payment of a lump sum equal to 5 times the annual compensation up to 
16 times the PASS, corresponding to a maximum of €3,241,920 in 2019, plus an 
additional amount if there is a dependent child or children, or the payment of a lump 
sum equal to three times the annual compensation up to 16 times the PASS, plus a

applicable to all employees.

TOTAL  Registration Document 2018 

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is entitled to a benefit equal to two years of 
his gross compensation in the event of a forced departure related to a change of control 
or strategy. The calculation is based on the gross compensation (fixed and variable) of 
the 12 months preceding the date of termination or non- renewal of his term of office. 

The severance benefit will only be paid in the event of a forced departure related to a 
change  of  control  or  strategy.  It  will  not  be  due  in  case  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. 

These undertakings were subject to the procedure for regulated agreements, as provided 
for by Article L. 225- 38 of the French Commercial Code. They were approved by the 
Annual Shareholders’ Meeting held on June 1, 2018. 

Pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 225-42- 1 of the French Commercial Code, receipt 
of this severance 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: 

—  the average ROE (return on equity) for the three years preceding the year in which 

the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer leaves is at least 10%; 

—  the average net-debt- to- equity ratio for the three years preceding the year in which 

the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer leaves is less than or equal to 30%; and 

—  growth  in  TOTAL’s  oil  and  gas  production  is  greater than  or  equal  to the  average 
growth rate of four oil companies (ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, BP and Chevron) 
during the three years preceding the year in which the Chairman and Chief Executive 
Officer leaves. 

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  is  equal  to  25%  of  the 
fixed  and  variable  annual  compensation  received  during  the  12  months  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: 

—  the average ROE (return on equity) for the three years preceding the year in which 

the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer retires is at least 10%; 

—  the average net-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%; 

—  growth  in  TOTAL’s  oil  and  gas  production  is  greater than  or  equal  to the  average 
growth rate of four oil companies (ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, BP and Chevron) 
during the three years preceding the year in which the Chairman and Chief Executive 
Officer retires. 

The retirement benefit cannot be combined with the severance benefit described above. 

Mr. Pouyanné has not received any non- compete compensation. 

Pursuant to applicable legislation, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is eligible 
for the basic French Social Security pension and for pension benefits under the ARRCO 
and AGIRC supplementary pension plans. 

He  also  participates  in  the  internal  defined  contribution  pension  plan  applicable  to  all 
TOTAL S.A. employees, known as RECOSUP (Régime collectif et obligatoire de retraite 
supplémentaire à cotisations définies), covered by Article L. 242- 1 of the French Social 
Security  Code.  The  Company’s  commitment  is  limited  to  its  share  of  the  contribution 
paid to the insurance company that manages the plan. For fiscal year 2018, this pension 
plan represented a booked expense to TOTAL S.A. in favor of the Chairman and Chief 
Executive Officer of €2,384. 

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 and approved by the Board of Directors on March 
13, 2001, for which management is outsourced to two insurance companies effective 
January 1, 2012. This plan applies to all TOTAL S.A. employees whose compensation 
exceeds eight times the annual ceiling for calculating French Social Security contributions 
(PASS), set at €39,732 for 2018 (i.e., €317,856), and above which there is no conventional 
pension plan.

To be eligible for this supplementary pension plan, participants must have served for at 
least  five  years,  be  at  least  60  years  old  and  exercised  his  or  her  rights  to  retirement 
from the French Social Security. The benefits under this plan are subject to a presence 
condition under which the beneficiary must still be employed at the time of retirement. 
However, the presence condition does not apply if a beneficiary aged 55 or older leaves 
the Company at the Company’s initiative or in case of disability. 

The  length  of  service  acquired  by  Mr.  Pouyanné  as  a  result  of  his  previous  salaried 
duties held at the Group since January 1, 1997, has been maintained for the benefit of 
this plan. 

The  compensation  taken  into  account  to  calculate  the  supplementary  pension  is  the 
average gross annual compensation (fixed and variable portion) over the last three years. 
This pension plan provides a pension for its beneficiaries equal to 1.8% of the portion 
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 the PASS, multiplied by the number 
of years of service up to a maximum of 20 years. 

The  sum  of  the  annual  supplementary  pension  plan  benefits  and  other  pension  plan 
benefits (other than those set up individually and on a voluntary basis) may not exceed 
45%  of  the  average  gross  compensation  (fixed  and  variable  portion)  over  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 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, at the meeting on December 16, 2015, the Board of 
Directors  noted  the  existence  of  the  Chief  Executive  Officer’s  pension  rights  under 
the above- mentioned pension plan, immediately before his appointment as Chairman, 
for the period from January 1, 1997, to December 18, 2015. 

The conditional rights granted for the period from January 1, 1997, to December 18, 2015 
(inclusive), acquired without performance condition, correspond to a replacement rate 
equal to 34.14% for the portion of the base compensation falling between 8 and 40 times 
the PASS and a replacement rate of 18.96% for the portion of the base compensation 
falling between 40 and 60 times the PASS. 

The  conditional  rights  granted  for  the  period  from  December  19,  2015,  to  December 
31, 2016, are subject to the performance condition described below and correspond to 
a replacement rate equal to 1.86% for the portion of the base compensation falling between 
8 and 40 times the PASS and a replacement rate equal to 1.04% for the portion of the 
base compensation falling between 40 and 60 times the PASS. 

These  undertakings  regarding  the  supplementary  pension  plan  were  subject  to  the 
procedure for regulated agreements, as per Article L. 225- 38 of the French Commercial 
Code,  and  they  were  approved  by  the  Company’s  Annual  Shareholders’  Meeting  on 
May 24, 2016. 

Pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 225-42- 1 of the French Commercial Code, the 
acquisition  of  these  conditional  rights  for  the  period  from  December  19,  2015,  to 
December 31, 2016, was submitted by the Board of Directors meeting on December 16, 
2015,  to  a  condition  related  to  the  beneficiary’s  performance,  to  be  considered  as 
fulfilled if the variable portion of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s compensation 
paid in 2017 for fiscal year 2016 reached 100% of the base salary due for fiscal year 
2016. In the event the variable portion had not reached 100% of his base salary, the 
rights would have been on a pro rata basis. 

On  February  8,  2017,  the  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Directors  noted  that  the  specified 
performance  condition  was  fully  met  and  therefore  confirmed  the  acquisition  by 
Mr.  Pouyanné  of  additional  pension  rights  for  the  period  from  December  19,  2015, 
to December 31, 2016. 

In addition, the Board noted that Mr. Pouyanné can no longer acquire additional pension 
rights under this plan given the rules for determining pension rights set out in the plan 
and the 20 years of service of Mr. Pouyanné as of December 31, 2016. 

The conditional rights granted to Mr. Patrick Pouyanné for the period from January 1, 
1997, to December 31, 2016 (inclusive), are now equal to a reference rate of 36% for the 
portion of the base compensation falling between 8 and 40 times the PASS and 20% 
for the portion of the base compensation falling between 40 and 60 times the PASS.

Based on Mr. Pouyanné’s seniority at the Company, capped at 20 years on December 
31, 2016, the commitments made by TOTAL S.A. to the Chairman and Chief Executive 
Officer in terms of supplementary defined benefits and similar pension plans represented, 
at  December  31,  2018,  a  gross  annual  retirement  pension  estimated  at  €616,641. 
It corresponds to 19.73% of Mr. Pouyanné’s gross annual compensation consisting of 
the annual fixed portion for 2018 (i.e., €1,400,000) and the variable portion to be paid in 
2019 for fiscal year 2018 (1)  (i.e., €1,725,900). 

Nearly the full amount of TOTAL S.A.’s commitments under these supplementary and 
similar retirement plans (including the retirement benefit) is outsourced for all beneficiaries 
to  insurance  companies  and  the  non-outsourced  balance  is  evaluated  annually  and 
adjusted through a provision in the accounts. The amount of these commitments as of 
December  31,  2018,  is  €18.0  million  for  the  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer 
(€18.0  million  for  the  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  the  executive  and 
non-executive  directors  covered  by  these  plans).  These  amounts  represent  the  gross 
value  of  TOTAL  S.A.’s  commitments  to  these  beneficiaries  based  on  the  estimated 
gross annual pensions as of December 31, 2018 as well as the statistical life expectancy 
of the beneficiaries. 

The total amount of all the pension plans in which Mr. Pouyanné participates represents, 
at December 31, 2018, a gross annual pension estimated at €719,002, corresponding 
to 23.00% of Mr. Pouyanné’s gross annual compensation defined above (annual fixed 
portion for 2018 and variable portion to be paid in 2019 for fiscal year 2018). 

In line with the principles for determining the compensation of executive directors as set 
out in the AFEP- MEDEF Code which the Company uses as a reference, the Board of 
Directors took into account the benefit accruing from participation in the pension plans 
when determining the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s compensation. 

The commitments made to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer regarding the pension 
and insurance plans, the retirement benefit and the severance benefit (in the event of 
forced  departure  related  to  a  change  of  control  or  strategy)  were  authorized  by  the 
Board of Directors on March 14, 2018, and approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting on 
June 1, 2018.

and extraordinary components of the total compensation (including in- kind benefits) attributable 
to the Chairman and Chief Executive Ofcer (Article L. 225- 37-2 of the French Commercial Code) 

This report, issued by the Board of Directors further to a proposal by 
the Compensation Committee, in accordance with the provisions of 
Article L. 225- 37- 2 of the French Commercial Code, describes the 
principles and criteria for the determination, breakdown and allocation 
of  the  fixed,  variable  and  extraordinary  components  of  the  total 
compensation (including in- kind benefits) attributable to the Chairman 
and Chief Executive Officer as a result of his duties. 

At  its  meeting  on  March  14,  2018,  and  on  the  proposal  of  the 
Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors decided that the 
amount of the fixed component of the compensation of the Chairman 
and Chief Executive Officer, the maximum percentage of the variable 
part of his compensation, as well as the annual number of performance 
shares attributed to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer will not 
be  changed  throughout  his  term  of  office  as  Chairman  and  Chief 
Executive  Officer,  in  other  words,  until  the  General  Shareholders’ 
Meeting held in 2021 to approve the accounts of fiscal year ending 
December 31, 2020. 

The compensation policy for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer 
was  approved  by  the  Board  of  Directors,  on  the  proposal  of  the 
Compensation  Committee,  at  its  meeting  on  March 13,  2019,  on 
this basis. It remained based on the general principles for determining 
the compensation of the executive directors described below. 

The  payment  to  the  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  of  the 
variable  compensation  and  of  extraordinary  components  of  the 
compensation due for fiscal year 2019 is subject to approval by the 
Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of May 29, 2020 of the compensation 
components of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in conditions 
provided for by Articles L. 225- 37- 2, L. 225- 100 and R. 225- 29- 1 of 
French  Commercial  Code  (Decree  n° 2017- 340  of  March  16,  2017 
entered into force on March 18, 2017). 

The Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting of May 29, 2020 will be 
called on to approve the fixed, variable and extraordinary components 
of  the  total  compensation  and  the  benefits  of  any  kind  paid  or 
attributed to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for fiscal year 
2019 in application of Article L. 225- 100 of French Commercial Code. 

General principles for determining the compensation of the executive directors 

4 

The general principles for determining the compensation and other 
benefits granted to the executive directors of TOTAL S.A. are as follows. 

—  Compensation as well as benefits for the executive directors are 
set by the Board of Directors on the proposal of the Compensation 
Committee.  Such  compensation  must  be  reasonable  and  fair. 
Compensation for the executive directors is based on the market, 
the work performed, the results obtained and the responsibilities 
assumed. 

—  Compensation for the executive directors includes a fixed portion 
and  a  variable  portion.  Only  highly  specific  circumstances  may 
warrant the award of extraordinary compensation (for example, 
due to their importance for the corporation, the involvement they 
demand  and  the  difficulties  they  present).  Justified  reasons  for 
the payment of this extraordinary compensation must be given, 
and  the  realisation  of  the  event  that  gave  rise  to  the  payment 
must be explained. 

—  The  fixed  portion  is  reviewed  with  a  periodicity  that  cannot  be 

below two years. 

—  The  amount  of  the  variable  portion  is  reviewed  each  year  and 
may not exceed a stated percentage of the fixed portion. Variable 
compensation is determined based on pre-defined quantifiable 
and qualitative criteria that are periodically reviewed by the Board 
of Directors. Quantifiable criteria are limited in number, objective, 
measurable and adapted to the Company’s strategy. 

—  The  variable  portion  rewards  short-term  performance  and  the 
progress  made  toward  paving  the  way  for  medium- term 
development.  It  is  determined  in  a  manner  consistent  with  the 
annual  performance  review  of  the  executive  directors  and  the 
Company’s medium- term strategy. 

—  The  Board  of  Directors  monitors  the  change  in  the  fixed  and 
variable portions of the executive directors’ compensation over 
several years in light of the Company’s performance. 

—  There  is  no  specific  pension  plan  for  the  executive  directors. 
They  are  eligible  for  retirement  benefits  and  pension  plans 
available  to  certain  employee  categories  in  the  Group  under 
conditions determined by the Board. 

—  In  line  with  the  principles  for  determining  the  compensation  of 
executive directors as set out in the AFEP- MEDEF Code which 
the Company uses as a reference, the Board of Directors takes 
into account the benefit accruing from participation in the pension 
plans when determining the compensation policy of the executive 
directors. 

—  Stock options and performance shares are designed to align the 
interests of the executive directors with those of the shareholders 
over the long term. 

The  grant  of  options  and  performance  shares  to  the  executive 
directors  is  reviewed  in  light  of  all  the  components  of 
compensation of the person in question. No discount is applied 
when stock options are granted. 

The exercise of options and the definitive grant of performance 
shares to which the executive directors are entitled are subject 
to conditions of presence in the Company and performance that 
must  be  met  over  several  years.  The  departure  of  executive 
directors  from  the  Group  results  in  the  inapplicability  of  share 
options and the rights to the definitive attribution of performance 
shares. Under exceptional circumstances, the Board of Directors 
can  decide  to  maintain  the  share  options  and  the  rights  to  the 
definitive  attribution  of  performance  shares  after  the  executive 
beneficiary’s departure, if the decision of the Board of Directors 
is specially justified and taken in the Company’s interest.

4  REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 

Compensation for the administration and management bodies 

The Board of Directors determines the rules related to holding a 
portion  of  the  shares  resulting  from  the  exercise  of  options  as 
well as the performance shares definitively granted, which apply 
to the executive directors until the end of their term of office. 

The  executive  directors  cannot  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 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 
of their compensation. 

—  When  a  new  executive  director  is  nominated,  the  Board  of 
Directors decides on his or her compensation as well as benefits, 
further  to  a  proposal  by  the  Compensation  Committee,  and  in 
accordance  with  the  above  general  principles  for  determining 
the  compensation  of  the  executive  directors.  Exceptional 
compensation or specific benefits when taking office are forbidden, 
unless  the  Board  of  Directors  decides  otherwise  for  particular 
reasons,  in  the  Company’s  interest  and  within  the  limits  of  the 
exceptional circumstances. 

Compensation policy for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for fiscal year 2019 

The  Board  of  Directors  has  noted  with  satisfaction  the  remarkable 
success  of  the  Group  in  achieving  the  objectives  previously  set. 
The  Group’s  strategy  has  evolved  since  2015.  In  accordance  with 
the principles relating to compensation policy of the executive director, 
the Board considers it appropriate to align the criteria of determination 
of the variable portion of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer 
with the key criteria of this strategy, which is promoted to shareholders. 

Thus, although the ROE and the net-debt-to-capital ratio are among 
the key objectives announced to shareholders, the strategy presented 
since  2015  rightly  focuses  on  the  pre-dividend  organic  cash 
breakeven with a target set since 2017 at a level  below $30/b. 

The Board retains the pre-dividend organic cash breakeven, which is 
essential in the management of the Company and which summarizes 
simultaneously all the discipline of the Group in connection with its 
cost reduction program, the choice of its investments and the policy 
of management of the Group’s portfolio. 

The  Board  also  considers  it  desirable  to  maintain  a  comparative 
criterion  (to  ensure  a  certain  continuity  in  the  structure  of  the 
compensation  policy)  and  therefore  to  take  into  account  the 
comparative ROACE of the majors since the Group has announced 
that it aims to be the most profitable among the majors. 

Finally,  taking  into  account  the  climate  change-related  challenges, 
the  Board  decides  to  introduce  a  quantitative  criterion  on  the 
reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of the Group’s operated oil & 
gas facilities, given the stated objective of reducing them from 46 Mt 
CO2e in 2015 to less than 40 Mt CO2e in 2025. 

Base salary of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer 
(fixed compensation) 

The Board of Directors decided to maintain Mr. Patrick Pouyanné’s 
annual base salary (fixed compensation) for his duties as Chairman 
and Chief Executive Officer for fiscal year 2019 at €1,400,000 (the 
same as the fixed portion due for fiscal year 2018). 

The  level  of  the  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer’s  fixed 
compensation  was  set  based  on  the  responsibilities  assumed  and 
the compensation levels applied for executive directors of comparable 
companies (particularly CAC 40 companies). 

Annual variable portion of the Chairman and Chief Executive 
Officer’s compensation 

The  Board  of  Directors  also  decided  to  maintain  the  maximum 
amount  of  the  variable  portion  that  could  be  paid  to  the  Chairman 
and Chief Executive Officer for fiscal year 2019 at 180% of his base 
salary (the same percentage as in fiscal year 2018). This ceiling was 
set based on the level applied by a benchmark sample of companies 
operating in the energy sectors. 

As  in  2018,  the  formula  for  calculating  the  variable  portion  of  the 
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s compensation for fiscal year 
2019  uses  economic  parameters  that  refer  to  quantifiable  targets 
reflecting the Group’s performance as well as the Chairman and Chief 
Executive  Officer’s  personal  contribution  allowing  a  qualitative 
assessment of his management. 

The criteria applicable to the determination of the variable portion of 
the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer were set by the Board of 
Directors  at  its  meeting  of  December  15,  2015,  when  Mr.  Patrick 
Pouyanné,  Chief  Executive  Officer  since  October  22,  2014,  was 
appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors. In September 2016, a 
new organization within the Group was set up with the objectives of 
strengthening  the  Group’s  resilience,  reducing  its  sensitivity  to  the 
volatility of the price of oil on the integrated oil chain, and ensuring its 
development in the  integrated gas chain, in renewable energies as 
well as in low-carbon electricity.

The parameters used include: 

—  change  in  safety,  for  up  to  20%  of  the  base  salary,  assessed 
through  the  achievement  of  an  annual  TRIR  (Total  Recordable 
Injury  Rate)  target  and  the  number  of  accidental  deaths  per 
million  hours  worked,  FIR  (Fatality  Incident  Rate)  compared  to 
those of four large competitor oil companies (ExxonMobil, Royal 
Dutch Shell, BP and Chevron), as well as through changes in the 
Tier 1 + Tier 2 indicator (1): 
–  the  maximum  weighting  of  the  TRIR  criterion  is  8%  of  the 
base  salary.  The  maximum  weighting  will  be  reached  if  the 
TRIR is below 0.85; the weighting of the criterion will be zero if 
the TRIR is above or equal to 1.4. The interpolations are linear 
between these points of reference; 

–  the maximum weighting of the FIR criterion is 4% of the base 
salary.  The  maximum  weighting  will  be  reached  if  the  FIR  is 
the best of the panel of the majors. It will be zero if the FIR is 
the worst of the panel. The interpolations are linear between 
these two points and depend on the ranking; 

–  the  maximum  weighting  of  the  changes  in  the  number  of 
Tier 1 + Tier 2 incidents is 8% of the base salary. The maximum 
weighting  will  be  reached  if  the  number  of  Tier  1  +  Tier  2 
incidents equals 100 or below. The weighting of the parameter 
will be zero if the number of Tier 1 + Tier 2 incidents is equal 
to  or  higher  than  180.  The  interpolations  are  linear  between 
these two points of reference. 

—  change  in  GHG  emission  reduction  on  operated  oil  &  gas 
facilities, assessed through the achievement of a GHG (Scope 
1  and  Scope  2)  reduction  emission  target  from  46  Mt  CO2e  in 
2015  to  40  Mt  CO2e  in  2025,  corresponding  to  a  reduction  of 
600  kt  CO2e/y,  i.e.  a  target  of  43.6  Mt  CO2e  for  2019.  The 
maximum  weighting  of  the  GHG  criterion  is  10%  of  the  base 
salary: 
–  the maximum weighting of the criterion is reached, i.e. 10% of 
the base salary, if the GHG Scopes 1 and 2 emission on the 
operated oil & gas facilities are below 43.6 Mt CO2e in 2019; 
–  the  weighting  of  the  criterion  is  zero  if  the  emissions  remain 

stable or increase compared to 2015 (46 Mt CO2e); 

–  the interpolations are linear between these points of reference. 

—  the return on equity (ROE) as published by the Group on the 
basis of its balance sheet and consolidated statement of income 

assessed  as  follows.  The  maximum  weighting  of  the  ROE 
criterion will be 30% of the base salary: 
–  the maximum weighting of the criterion is reached, i.e. 30% of 
the base salary, if the ROE is higher than or equal to 13%; 
–  the weighting of the criterion is zero if the ROE is lower than 

or equal to 6%; 

–  the weighting of the criterion is 50% of the maximum, i.e. 15% 

of the base salary, if the ROE is 8%; 

–  the  interpolations  are  linear  between  these  three  points  of 

reference. 

—  the net-debt- to- capital ratio as published by the Group on the 
basis of its balance sheet and consolidated statement of income, 
assessed as follows.  The maximum weighting of the net-debt-
to-capital ratio criterion is 30% of the base salary: 
–  the maximum weighting of the criterion, i.e. 30% of the base 
salary,  is  reached  for  a  net-debt-to-capital  ratio  equal  to  or 
below 20%; 

–  the weighting of the criterion is zero if the net-debt- to- capital 

ratio is equal or above 30%; 

–  the  interpolations  are  linear  between  these  two  points  of 

reference. 

—  the pre-dividend organic cash breakeven, assessed as follows. 
The  maximum  weighting  of  this  criterion  is  30%  of  the  base 
salary.  The  pre-dividend  organic  cash  breakeven  is  defined  as 
the Brent price for which the operating cash flow before working 
capital  changes (2)  (MBA)  covers  the  organic  investments (3). 
The  ability  of  the  Group  to  resist  to  the  variations  of  the  Brent 
barrel price is measured by this parameter. 

–  the maximum weighting of the criterion is reached, i.e. 30% of 
the base salary, if the breakeven is below or equal to 30 $/b; 
–  the weighting of the criterion is zero if the breakeven is above 

or equal to 40 $/b; 

–  the  interpolations  are  linear  between  these  two  points  of 

reference. 

—  the  return  on  average  capital  employed  (ROACE),  by 
comparison,  assessed  as  follows.  The  maximum  weighting  of 
the  ROACE  criterion  will  be  20%  of  the  base  salary.  TOTAL’s 
ROACE, as published from the consolidated balance sheet and 
the income statement, will be compared to the ROACE average 

(1)  Tier 1 and Tier 2: indicator of the number of loss of primary containment events, with more or less significant consequences, as defined by the API 754 (for downstream) and IOGP 456 

(for upstream) standards. Excluding acts of sabotage and theft. 

(2)  The operating cash flow before working capital changes is defined as cash flow from operating activities before changes in capital at replacement cost. 
(3)  Organic investments: net investments excluding acquisitions, asset sales and other operations with non-controlling interests.

of  each  of  the  four  peers  (ExxonMobil,  Royal  Dutch  Shell,  BP 
and Chevron). The ROACE is equal to the net adjusted operating 
income (1)  divided  by  the  average  of  the  capital  employed  (at 
replacement costs, net of deferred income tax and non-current 
liabilities) of the start and end of the fiscal year. 
– the maximum weighting of the criterion is reached, i.e. 20% of
the  base  salary,  if  TOTAL’s  ROACE  is  above  2%  or  more
compared to the average of the 4 peers’ ROACE;

– the weighting of the criterion is zero if the TOTAL’s ROACE is
under  2%  or  more  compared  to  the  average  of  the  peers’
ROACE;

– the  interpolations  are  linear  between  these  two  points  of

reference.

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s personal contribution, 
which  may  represent  up  to  40%  of  the  base  salary,  is  evaluated 
based on the following criteria: 

—  steering  of  the  strategy  and  successful  strategic  negotiations 
with  producing  countries,  and  achievement  of  production  and 
reserve targets, for up to 15%; 

—  performance and outlook with respect to Downstream activities 
(Refining  &  Chemicals/Marketing  &  Services)  and  the  Group’s 
gas- electricity- renewables growth strategy, for up to 10%; 
—  CSR performance, notably taking into account climate issues in 
the  Group’s  Strategy,  the  Group’s  reputation  in  the  domain  of 
Corporate Social Responsibility, as well as the policy concerning 
all aspects of diversity, for up to 15%. 

In  the  event  of  a  significant  change  in  the  Group  affecting  the 
calculation  of  the  economic  perimeters  for  the  Group  (change  in 
accounting standard, significant patrimonial transaction approved by 
the Board of Directors…), the Board may calculate the parameters

the  determination  of 

Furthermore, the Board of Directors reserves the right to exercise its 
discretionary  powers 
the 
compensation of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant 
to Articles L. 225-47, paragraph 1 and L. 225-53, paragraph 3 of the 
French  Commercial  Code,  and  according  to  Articles  L.  225-37-2 
and  L.  225-100  of  the  French  Commercial  Code,  in  the  event  of 
particular circumstances that could justify that the Board of Directors 
adjusts,  exceptionally  and  both  on  the  upside  and  the  downside, 
one or more of the criteria that make up his compensation to ensure 
that  the  results  of  the  application  of  the  criteria  described  above 
reflect  both  the  performance  of  the  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive 
Officer and the performance of the Group either in absolute terms or 
relative  to  the  four  peers  of  the  Group,  for  the  economic  criteria 
measured in comparison with these four peers. 

This  adjustment  will  be  made  to  the  variable  compensation  of  the 
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer by the Board of Directors on 
the proposal of the Compensation Committee, within the limit of the 
variable compensation cap of 180% of the fixed compensation, after 
the Board of Directors duly motivated its decision. 

Components of long-term compensation 

The granting of performance shares to the Chairman and Chief Executive 
Officer  is  structured  over  a  five- year  period:  a  three- year  vesting 
period, followed by a two- year holding period. The definitive grant of 
shares is subject to a presence condition and performance conditions 
assessed at the end of the three-year vesting period. 

Performance shares are granted to the Chairman and Chief Executive 
Officer  each  year  as  part  of  plans  that  are  not  specific  to  him  and 
concern more than 10,000 employees, a large majority of which are 
non-executive employees. 

It should be noted that at its meeting on March 14, 2018, the Board 
of  Directors  decided  to  grant  72,000  performance  shares  to  the 
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer under the 2018 plan. The 2018 
plan  approved  by  the  Board  of  Directors  in  March  2018  granted  a 

7% higher volume of performance shares compared with the 2017 
plan.  More  than  10,640  employees  were  concerned  by  this  plan, 
over 97% of whom are non- senior executives. The Board of Directors 
adopts  this  proactive  policy  in  an  effort  to  strengthen  the  sense  of 
belonging to the Group of the beneficiaries of performance shares, 
to involve them more closely in its performance and encourage their 
investment in the Company’s share capital. 

The compensation policy proposed for fiscal year 2019 thus includes 
the granting of performance shares. 

In this context, on the proposal of the Compensation Committee, the 
Board of Directors decided at its meeting on March 13, 2019, to grant 
72,000  performance  shares  to  the  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive 
Officer (the same number of shares as in 2018), as part of a 2019 
plan that is not specific to him. The definitive granting of performance 
shares is subject to a presence condition and performance conditions 
assessed at the end of the three-year vesting period. 

The  definitive  number  of  granted  shares  will  be  based  on  the  TSR 
(Total Shareholder Return), the annual variation of the net cash flow 
by  share  in  dollars,  as  well  as  the  pre-dividend  organic  cash 
breakeven, for fiscal years 2019, 2020 and 2021, applied as follows: 

—  For  1/3  of  the  shares,  the  Company  will  be  ranked  against  its 
peers  (ExxonMobil,  Royal  Dutch  Shell,  BP  and  Chevron)  each 
year during the three vesting years (2019, 2020 and 2021) based 
on the TSR criterion of the last quarter of the year in question, the 
dividend being considered reinvested based on the closing price 
on the ex- dividend date. 

—  For  1/3  of  the  shares,  the  Company  will  be  ranked  each  year 
against  its  peers  (ExxonMobil,  Royal  Dutch  Shell,  BP  and 
Chevron) during the three vesting years (2019, 2020 and 2021) 
using  the  annual  variation  in  net  cash  flow  per  share  criterion 
expressed in dollar. 

Based on the ranking, a grant rate will be determined for each year 
for these two first criteria: 1st: 180% of the grant; 2nd: 130% of the 
grant; 3rd: 80% of the grant; 4th  and 5th: 0%. 

—  For 1/3 of the shares, the pre-dividend organic cash breakeven 
criterion will be assessed during the three vesting years (2019, 
2020  and  2021)  as  follows.  The  pre-dividend  organic  cash 
breakeven is defined as the Brent price for which the operating 
cash  flow  before  working  capital  changes  covers  the  organic 
investments. The ability of the Group to resist to the variations of 
the Brent barrel price is measured by this parameter. 

– the  maximum  grant  rate  will  be  reached  if  the  breakeven  is

less than or equal to $30/b,

– the grant rate will be zero if the breakeven is greater than or

equal to $40/b,

– the  interpolations  will  be  linear  between  these  two  points  of

reference.

A grant rate will be determined for each year. 

For  each  of  the  three  criteria,  the  average  of  the  three  grant  rates 
obtained (for each of the three fiscal years for which the performance 
conditions  are  assessed)  will  be  rounded  to  the  nearest  0.1  whole 
percent (0.05% being rounded to 0.1%) and capped at 100%. 

Each  criterion  will  have  a  weight  of  1/3  in  the  definitive  grant  rate. 
The definitive grant rate will be rounded to the nearest 0.1 whole percent 
(0.05% being rounded to 0.1%). The number of shares definitively granted, 
after confirmation of the performance conditions, will be rounded up 
to the nearest whole number of shares in case of a fractional share. 

Following  the  three- year  acquisition period,  shares  that  h ave been 
definitively  granted  could  not  be  disposed  of  before  the  end  of  a 
two- year holding period. 

(1)  Adjustments items include special items, the inventory effect and the impact for change for fair value. 
(2)  The operating cash flow before working capital changes is defined as cash flow from operating activities before changes in capital at replacement cost. 
(3)  Organic investments: net investments excluding acquisitions, asset sales and other operations with non-controlling interests.

Commitments made by the Company to the Chairman and 
Chief Executive Officer 

The  Board  of  Directors  decided  on  March  14,  2018,  on  the 
Compensation  Committee’s  proposal,  to  maintain  unchanged  the 
commitments  made  to  the  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer 
regarding the pension plans, the retirement benefit and the severance 
benefit to be paid in the event of forced departure related to a change 
of  control  or  strategy,  as  well  as  the  life  insurance  and  health  care 
benefits  presented  below.  They  were  approved  by  the  Board  of 
Directors  on  March  14,  2018,  and  by  the  Annual  Shareholders’ 
Meeting on June 1, 2018, in accordance with the provisions of Article 
L. 225- 42- 1 of the French Commercial Code.

It should be noted that Mr. Pouyanné already benefited from all these 
provisions  when  he  was  an  employee  of  the  Company,  except  for 
the  commitment  to  pay  severance  benefits  in  the  event  of  forced 
departure related to a change of control or strategy. It should also be 
noted that Mr. Pouyanné, who joined the Group on January 1, 1997, 
ended the employment contract that he previously had with TOTAL 
S.A. through his resignation at the time of his appointment as Chief 
Executive Officer on October 22, 2014. 

— Pension plans 

Pursuant to applicable legislation, the Chairman and Chief Executive 
Officer is eligible for the basic French Social Security pension and for 
pension  benefits  under  the  ARRCO  and  AGIRC  supplementary 
pension plans. 

He also participates in the internal defined contribution pension plan
applicable to all TOTAL S.A. employees, known as RECOSUP (Régime
collectif et obligatoire de retraite supplémentaire à cotisations définies),
covered by Article L. 242- 1 of the French Social Security Code. The
Company’s  commitment  is  limited  to  its  share  of  the  contribution
paid to the insurance company that manages the plan. For fiscal year
2018,  this  pension  plan  represented  a  booked  expense  to  TOTAL
S.A. in favor of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of €2,384.

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 and approved by the Board of Directors on March
13,  2001,  for  which  management  is  outsourced  to  two  insurance
companies effective January 1, 2012. This plan applies to all TOTAL S.A. 
employees  whose  compensation  exceeds  eight  times  the  annual
ceiling  for  calculating  French  Social  Security  contributions  (PASS),
set at €39,732 for 2018 (i.e., €317,856), and above which there is
no conventional pension plan.

To be eligible for this supplementary pension plan, participants must 
have  served  for  at  least  five  years,  be  at  least  60  years  old  and 
exercised  his  or  her  rights  to  retirement  from  the  French  Social 
Security.  The  benefits  under  this  plan  are  subject  to  a  presence 
condition under which the beneficiary must still be employed at the 
time of retirement. However, the presence condition does not apply if 
a beneficiary aged 55 or older leaves the Company at the Company’s 
initiative or in case of disability. 

The  length  of  service  acquired  by  Mr.  Pouyanné  as  a  result  of  his 
previous  salaried  duties  held  at  the  Group  since  January  1,  1997, 
has been maintained for the benefit of this plan. 

The compensation taken into account to calculate the supplementary 
pension is the average gross annual compensation (fixed and variable 
portion) over the last three years. 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. 

Compensation for the administration and management bodies  4 

REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 

The  sum  of  the  annual  supplementary  pension  plan  benefits  and 
other pension plan benefits (other than those set up individually and 
on  a  voluntary  basis)  may  not  exceed  45%  of  the  average  gross 
compensation (fixed and variable portion) over 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 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 above- mentioned pension 
plan, immediately before his appointment as Chairman, for the period 
from January 1, 1997, to December 18, 2015. 

The conditional rights granted for the period from January 1, 1997, 
to  December  18,  2015  (inclusive),  acquired  without  performance 
conditions,  correspond  to  a  replacement  rate  equal  to  34.14%  for 
the portion of the base compensation falling between 8 and 40 times 
the PASS and a replacement rate of 18.96% for the portion of the 
base compensation falling between 40 and 60 times the PASS. 

The conditional rights granted for the period from December 19, 2015, 
to  December  31,  2016,  are  subject  to  the  performance  condition 
described  below  and  correspond  to  a  replacement  rate  equal  to 
1.86%  for  the  portion  of  the  base  compensation  falling  between  8 
and  40 
rate  equal 
to 1.04% for the portion of the base compensation falling between 
40 and 60 times the PASS.

These undertakings regarding the supplementary pension plan were
subject   to   the   procedure   for   regulated   agreements,   as  per  Article
L. 225- 38 of the French Commercial Code, and they were approved
by the Company’s Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on May 24, 2016.

Pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  Article  L.  225-42- 1  of  the  French 
Commercial Code, the acquisition  of these supplementary pension 
rights  under  the  terms  of  the  pension  plan  for  the  period  from 
December  19,  2015,  to  December  31,  2016,  was  submitted  by 
the Board of Directors meeting on December 16, 2015, to a condition 
related to the beneficiary’s performance, to be considered as fulfilled 
if the variable portion of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s 
compensation paid in 2017 for fiscal year 2016 reached 100% of the 
base salary due for fiscal year 2016. In the event the variable portion 
had  not  reached  100%  of  his  base  salary,  the  rights  would  have 
been awarded on a pro rata basis. 

On February 8, 2017, the Board of Directors noted that the specified 
performance  condition  was  fully  met  and  therefore  confirmed  the 
acquisition by Mr. Pouyanné of additional pension rights for the period 
from December 19, 2015, to December 31, 2016. 

In addition, the Board noted that Mr. Pouyanné is no longer able to 
acquire additional pension rights under this plan given the rules for 
determining  pension  rights  set  out  in  the  plan  and  Mr.  Pouyanné’s 
20 years of service as of December 31, 2016. 

The conditional rights granted to Mr. Patrick Pouyanné for the period 
from January 1, 1997, to December 31, 2016 (inclusive), are now equal 
to a reference rate of 36% for the portion of the base compensation 
falling between 8 and 40 times the PASS and 20% for the portion of 
the base compensation falling between 40 and 60 times the PASS. 

Based  on  Mr.  Pouyanné’s  seniority  at  the  Company,  capped  at 
20  years  on  December  31,  2016,  the  commitments  made  by 
TOTAL S.A. to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in terms of 
supplementary defined benefits and similar pension plans represented, 
at December 31, 2018, a gross annual retirement pension estimated

Compensation for the administration and management bodies 

at   €616,641.  It  corresponds  to  19.73%  of  Mr.  Pouyanné’s  gross 
annual compensation consisting of the annual fixed portion for 2018 
(i.e.,  €1,400,000)  and  the  variable  portion  paid  in  2019 (1)  for  fiscal 
year 2018 (i.e., €1,725,900). 

Nearly  the  full  amount  of  TOTAL  S.A.’s  commitments  under  these 
supplementary and similar retirement plans (including the retirement 
benefit)  is  outsourced  for  all  beneficiaries  to  insurance  companies 
and the non- outsourced balance is evaluated annually and adjusted 
through a provision in the accounts. The amount of these commitments 
as  of  December  31,  2018,  is  €18.0  million  for  the  Chairman  and 
Chief  Executive  Officer  (€18.0  million  for  the  Chairman  and  Chief 
Executive  Officer  and  the  executive  and  non- executive  directors 
covered by these plans). These amounts represent the gross value 
of  TOTAL  S.A.’s  commitments  to  these  beneficiaries  based  on  the 
estimated gross annual pensions as of December 31, 2018 as well 
as the statistical life expectancy of the beneficiaries. 

The  total  amount  of  all  the  pension  plans  in  which  Mr.  Pouyanné 
participates  represents,  at  December  31,  2018,  a  gross  annual 
pension  estimated  at  €719,002,  corresponding  to  23.00%  of 
Mr.  Pouyanné’s  gross  annual  compensation  defined  above  (annual 
fixed  portion  for  2018  and  variable  portion  paid  in  2019  for  fiscal 
year 2018). 

The  severance  benefit  will  only  be  paid  in  the  event  of  a  forced 
departure related to a change of control or strategy. It will not be due 
in case 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. 

Pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  Article  L.  225-42- 1  of  the  French 
Commercial Code, receipt of this severance 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: 

—  the average ROE (return on equity) for the three years preceding 
the year in which the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer leaves 
is at least 10%; 

—  the average net-debt- to- equity ratio for the three years preceding 
the year in which the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer leaves 
is less than or equal to 30%; and 

—  growth in TOTAL’s oil and gas production is greater than or equal 
to  the  average  growth  rate  of  four  oil  companies  (ExxonMobil, 
Royal  Dutch  Shell,  BP  and  Chevron)  during  the  three  years 
preceding the year in which the Chairman and Chief Executive 
Officer leaves. 

— Retirement benefit 

— Life insurance and health care plans 

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  is  equal  to  25%  of  the  fixed 
and  variable  annual  compensation  received  during  the  12  months 
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: 

—  the average ROE (return on equity) for the three years preceding 
the year in which the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer retires 
is at least 10%; 

—  the average net-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  growth  rate  of  four  oil  companies  (ExxonMobil, 
Royal  Dutch  Shell,  BP  and  Chevron)  during  the  three  years 
preceding the year in which the Chairman and Chief Executive 
Officer retires. 

The retirement benefit cannot be combined with the severance benefit 
described below. 

— Severance benefit 

The  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  is  entitled  to  a  benefit 
equal to two years of his gross compensation in the event of a forced 
departure related to a change of control or strategy. The calculation 
is  based  on  the  gross  compensation  (fixed  and  variable)  of  the 
12 months preceding the date of termination or non-renewal of his 
term of office. 

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is covered by the following 
life insurance plans provided by various life insurance companies: 

—  an  “incapacity,  disability,  life  insurance”  plan  applicable  to  all 
employees,  partly  paid  for  by  the  Company,  that  provides  for 
two  options  in  case  of  death  of  a  married  employee:  either 
the  payment  of  a  lump  sum  equal  to  five  times  the  annual 
compensation  up  to  16  times  the  PASS,  corresponding  to  a 
maximum of €3,241,920 in 2019, plus an additional amount if 
there is a dependent child or children, or the payment of a lump 
sum equal to three times the annual compensation up to 16 times 
the PASS, plus a survivor’s pension and education allowance; 

—  a  second  “disability  and  life  insurance”  plan,  fully  paid  by  the 
Company, applicable to executive officers and senior executives 
whose  annual  gross  compensation  is  more  than  16  times  the 
PASS. This contract, signed on October 17, 2002, amended on 
January 28 and December 16, 2015, guarantees the beneficiary 
the payment of a lump sum, in case of death, equal to two years 
of  compensation  (defined  as  the  gross  annual  fixed  reference 
compensation (base France), which corresponds to 12 times the 
monthly gross fixed compensation paid during the month prior 
to death or sick leave, to which is added the highest amount in 
absolute value of the variable portion received during one of the 
five previous years of activity), which is increased to three years 
in case of accidental death and, in case of accidental permanent 
disability,  a  lump  sum  proportional  to  the  degree  of  disability. 
Death benefits are increased by 15% for each dependent child. 

Payments due under this contract are made after the deduction of 
any amount paid under the above-mentioned plan applicable to all 
employees. 

The  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  also  has  the  use  of  a 
company car and is covered by the health care plan available to all 
employees.

4.3.4  Stock option and free share grants 

4.3.4.1  General policy 

In addition to its employee shareholding development policy, TOTAL 
S.A.  has  implemented  a  policy  to  involve  employees  and  senior 
executives in the Group’s future performance which entails granting 
free  performance  shares  each  year.  TOTAL  S.A.  may  also  grant  
stock  options,  although  no  plan  has  been  put  in  place  since 
September 14, 2011. These shares are granted under selective plans 
based on a review of individual performance at the time of each grant. 

The  stock  option  and  free  share  plans  offered  by  TOTAL  S.A.  
concern only TOTAL shares and no free shares of the Group’s listed 
subsidiaries or options on them are granted by TOTAL S.A. 

All grants are approved by the Board of Directors, on the proposal of 
the  Compensation  Committee.  For  each  plan,  the  Compensation 
Committee  recommends  a  list  of  beneficiaries,  the  conditions  as 
well  as  the  number  of  options  or  shares  granted  to each  beneficiary. 
The Board of Directors then gives final approval for this list and the 
grant conditions. 

— Grant of free performance shares 

Grants  of  free  performance  shares  under  selective  plans  become 
definitive  only  at  the  end  of  a  three- year  vesting  period,  subject 
to the fulfillment of applicable presence and performance conditions. 
At the end of the vesting period, and provided that the conditions are 
met, the TOTAL shares are definitively granted to the beneficiaries, 
who must then hold them for at least two years (holding period). The 
presence condition applies to all shares. 

For beneficiaries employed by a non- French company on the grant 
date, the vesting period for free shares may be increased to four years, 
in  which  case  there  is  no  mandatory  holding  period.  Since  2011, 
all  shares  granted  to  senior  executives  have  been  subject  to 
performance conditions. 

— Stock options 

Stock options have a term of eight years, with a strike price set at 
the  average  of  the  closing  TOTAL  share  prices  on  Euronext  Paris 
during  the  20  trading  days  preceding  the  grant  date,  without  any 
discount. Exercise of the options granted between 2007 and 2011 
was  subject  to  a  presence  condition  and  performance  conditions, 
notably  related  to  the  Group’s  return  on  equity  (ROE),  which  vary 
depending on the plan and category of beneficiary. 

All options granted in 2011 were subject to performance conditions. 
For options that could be granted pursuant to the authorization given 
by  the  Extraordinary  Shareholders’  Meeting  of  May  24,  2016 
(twenty- fifth resolution), the performance conditions will be assessed 
over a minimum period of three consecutive fiscal years. For earlier 
option  plans,  and  subject  to  applicable  presence  and  performance 
conditions being met, options may be exercised only at the end of 
an initial two- year period and the shares resulting from the exercise 
may only be disposed of at the end of a second two- year period. 

In addition, for the 2007 to 2011 option plans, the shares resulting from 
the exercise of options by beneficiaries employed by a non- French 
company  on  the  grant  date  may  be  disposed  of  or  converted  to 
bearer form at the end of the first two-year vesting period.

4.3.4.2  Follow-up of grants to the executive directors 

Stock options 

No  stock  options  have  been  granted  since  September  14,  2011. 
Until  that  date,  the  Company’s  executive  directors  in  office  at  the 
time of the decision were granted stock options as part of broader 
grant  plans  approved  by  the  Board  of  Directors  for  certain  Group 
employees and senior executives. The options granted to the executive 
directors  were  subject  to  the  same  requirements  applicable  to  the 
other beneficiaries of the grant plans. 

For the options granted between 2007 and 2011, the Board of Directors 
made the exercise of the options granted to the executive directors 
in  office  contingent  upon  a  presence  condition  and  performance 
conditions based on the Group’s ROE and ROACE. The grant rate of 
the  performance- related  options  under  the  2009,  2010  and  2011 
plans was 100%, compared to 60% for the 2008 plan. 

All the options granted to Mr. Pouyanné outstanding at December 31, 
2018,  represent  0.000379%  of  the  Company’s  share  capital (1) 
on that date.

(a)  The number of new shares authorized under the 13th  resolution of the ESM held on June 1, 2018, cannot exceed 1,000 million shares. Pursuant to the 18th  resolution of the ESM held on 
June 1, 2018, the Board of Directors decided on September 19, 2018, to proceed with a share capital increase reserved for Group  employees in 2019 (see Note(c) below). As a result, 
the available balance under this authorization amounts to 982,000,000 new shares as of December 31, 2018. 

(b) And the offers set out in Article 1, Paragraph 4, a) and b) of Regulation (EU) No. 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 14, 2017, on the prospectus to be 

published when securities are offered to the public or admitted to trading on a regulated market. 

(c)  Based on share capital as of December 31, 2018, divided into 2,640,602,007 shares. 
(d) The number of new shares authorized under the 18th  resolution of the June 1, 2018, ESM may not exceed 1.5% of the share capital on the date when the Board of Directors decides to 
use the delegation. The meeting of the Board of Directors of September 19, 2018, decided to proceed with a share capital increase in 2019 with a cap of 18,000,000 shares (subscription 
to the shares under this operation is planned for the second quarter of 2019, subject to the decision of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer). As a result, the available balance under 
this authorization was 21,609,030 new shares as of December 31, 2018. 

Authorization to cancel shares of the Company 

Pursuant to the terms of the 13th resolution of the Shareholders’ Meeting 
held on May 26, 2017, the Board of Directors is authorized to cancel 
shares of the Company up to a maximum of 10% of the share capital 
of  the  Company  existing  as  of  the  date  of  the  operation  within  a
24- month period. This authorization is effective until the Shareholders’ 
Meeting held to approve the financial statements for the year ending
December 31, 2021.

On  December  12,  2018,  the  Board  of  Directors,  pursuant  to  this 
authorization,  canceled  44,590,699  shares  representing  1.66%  of 
the share capital on that date. This cancellation, combined with the 

cancellation of 100,331,268 TOTAL shares on December 16, 2016, 
brings the number of TOTAL shares canceled in the last 24 months 
to 144,921,967. 

Based on 2,640,602,007 shares outstanding on December 31, 2018, 
the  Company  could,  taking  into  account  the  shares  canceled  on 
December  12,  2018,  cancel  219,469,501  further  shares,  before 
reaching the cancellation threshold of 10% of share  capital canceled 
over a 24- month period.

4.4.3  Provisions of the bylaws governing shareholders’ participation 

in General Meetings 

4.4.3.1  Calling of shareholders to Shareholders’ 

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’ Meeting 
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 draft resolutions 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 draft resolutions 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  as  well  as  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 
business day preceding the date of the meeting. 

The  Central  Social  and  Economic  Committee  (formerly  the  Central 
Works Council) 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 on which 
the notice of meeting was published. 

4.4.3.2  Admission of shareholders 
to Shareholders’ 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.

agreements and commitments 

This is a free translation into English of the original report issued in French and is provided solely for the convenience of English-speaking 
readers. This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed in accordance with, professional guidelines applicable in France. 

To the Annual General Meeting of TOTAL S.A., 

As statutory auditors of your Company, we hereby present our report on related party agreements and commitments. 

It is our responsibility to inform you, on the basis of the information provided to us, of the terms and conditions, the purpose, and the benefits 
to the Company of the agreements and commitments of which we were informed or became aware of during our engagement. It is not our 
role to determine whether they are beneficial or appropriate or to ascertain whether any other agreements and commitments exist. It is your 
responsibility,  in  accordance  with  Article  R.  225- 31  of  the  French  Commercial  Code  (Code  de  commerce),  to  assess  the  merit  of  these 
agreements and commitments with a view to approving them. 

In addition, it is our responsibility to inform you, where appropriate, in accordance with Article R. 225- 31 of the French Commercial Code, of 
the agreements and commitments already approved at the General Meeting of Shareholders. 

We performed the procedures that we deemed necessary in accordance with the professional guidance issued by the French Institute of 
Statutory Auditors (Compagnie nationale des commissaires aux comptes) applicable to this engagement. Our work entailed verifying that the 
information provided is consistent with the documents from which it was derived. 

AGREEMENTS AND COMMITMENTS SUBMITTED FOR APPROVAL AT THE GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS 

Agreements and commitments authorized and signed during the period 

We hereby inform you that, to our knowledge, no agreements or commitments authorized and signed during the period are to be submitted 
for approval at the General Meeting of Shareholders in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 225- 38 of the French Commercial Code. 

4 

Agreements and commitments not previously authorized 

In accordance with Articles L. 225- 42 and L. 823- 12 of the French Commercial Code, we hereby inform you that the following agreement was 
not previously authorized by your Board of Directors. At their meeting on March 13, 2019, your Board of Directors decided to retrospectively 
authorize this agreement. 

With the not-for- profit organization United Way- L’Alliance (UWA) 

—  Nature, purpose, terms and conditions: 

As a means of supporting the not- for-profit organization United Way- L’Alliance, TOTAL S.A. has provided free office space since October 31, 
2018 in the Tour Michelet, which it owns and occupies. Providing such office space is classified as corporate patronage through a contribution 
in kind and as such it is eligible under the tax and legal regime set out in Article 238 bis of the French Tax Code. 

TOTAL  S.A.  and  UWA  agreed  to  sign  a  draft  “Agreement  on  the  provision  of  free  office  space”  (the  TSA/UWA  Agreement)  to  formally 
document their agreement. 

Under the draft TSA/UWA Agreement, TOTAL S.A. has agreed to provide UWA with free office space of 179 sq. m. in the Tour Michelet, along 
with associated infrastructure and services (including mail, photocopy and printer services, access to the company’s cantine with admission 
charges and cleaning services). The draft agreement provides for retroactive implementation from the effective date of October 31, 2018 until 
termination on December 31, 2019. 

In addition, upon expiry of the Agreement’s first term and if not terminated, the Agreement will be tacitly renewed for a one year period. The 
Parties will be able to terminate the Agreement by registered post with acknowledgement of receipt, on condition that they inform the other 
party at least three months before the planned termination date. 

TOTAL S.A. and UWA have the same director, as Patrick Pouyanné is Chairman of the Board of Directors of TTOTAL S.A., and Chairman of 
the not- for-profit organization United Way- L’Alliance, having accepted the latter position as Chief Executive Officer of TOTAL S.A.. As a result, 
the  TSA/UWA  Agreement  is  governed  by  Article  L.  225- 38  paragraph  3  of  the  French  Commercial  Code.  The  Board  of  Directors  has 
approved  the  Agreement  on  the  grounds  that  it  is  fully  in  line  with  TOTAL  S.A.’s  policy  on  Corporate  Social  Responsibility  and  with  its 
corporate patronage operations. 

AGREEMENTS AND COMMITMENTS ALREADY APPROVED AT THE GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS 

Agreements and commitments already approved in prior years 

We have been informed of the continuance of the commitments, described in detail below, regarding the pension plan, retirement benefit and 
severance benefit if Mr Patrick Pouyanné’s contract is terminated or if his term of office is not renewed, and insurance and health care plans 
already approved at the General Meeting of Shareholders in prior years, and which were not applicable between January 1, 2018 and May 31, 2018.

4  REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 

Statutory auditors’ report on related party agreements and commitments 

Pension plan 

—  Director concerned: 

Mr Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer 

—  Nature and purpose: 

Following the appointment of Mr Patrick Pouyanné as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of your Company, with effect as of December 19, 
2015, at its meeting on December 16, 2015 your Board of Directors confirmed the commitments entered into previously by TOTAL S.A. in 
favor of Mr Patrick Pouyanné with regard to the pension plan, in accordance with the following terms and conditions. 

—  Terms and conditions: 

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer has a supplementary defined benefit pension plan. The plan is applicable to all employees whose 
annual compensation is greater than eight times the annual ceiling for calculating French social security contributions (Plafond annuel de la 
sécurité sociale, PASS), set at €317,856 for 2018, and above which there is no conventional pension plan. 

To be eligible for the supplementary pension plan, set up and financed by TOTAL S.A., members must be at least 60 years old and have 
served the Company for at least five years. In addition, they must still be employed by the Company at the time of their retirement, unless they 
retire due to disability or take early retirement at your Company’s initiative after the age of 55. They must also have claimed their basic pension 
from the French social security. 

During its meeting on December 16, 2014, the Board of Directors decided to maintain the seniority vested by Mr Patrick Pouyanné in respect 
of his previous salaried positions with the Group since January 1, 1997. 

Average gross annual compensation (fixed and variable) over the retiree’s last three years of employment is taken into account to calculate the 
supplementary benefits. 

The supplementary benefit plan provides beneficiaries with a pension equal to the sum of 1.8% of the portion of the reference compensation 
between  8  and  40  times  the  annual  ceiling  for  calculating  French  social  security  contributions,  and  1%  of  the  reference  compensation 
between  40  and  60  times  the  annual  ceiling  for  calculating  French  social  security  contributions,  multiplied  by  the  number  of  years  of 
employment  (up  to  20  years).  The  assessment  basis  for  this  supplementary  plan  is  indexed  to  changes  in  the  French  Association  for 
Supplementary Pensions Schemes (ARRCO) index. 

Aggregate supplementary and other pension plan benefits (other than those funded personally on a voluntary basis) may not exceed 45% of 
average  gross  compensation  (fixed  and  variable)  for  the  last  three  years  of  employment.  In  the  event  that  this  percentage  is  exceeded, 
the supplementary pension is reduced accordingly. 

The  Board  of  Directors  noted  the  existence  of  the  Chief  Executive  Officer’s  pension  rights  under  the  above- mentioned  pension  plan, 
immediately before his appointment as Chairman, for 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, correspond to a replacement  rate of 
34.14% of the portion of compensation that is between 8 and 40 times the annual ceiling for calculating French social security contributions, 
and  18.96%  of  the  portion  of  compensation  that  is  between  40  and  60  times  the  annual  ceiling  for  calculating  French  social  security 
contributions. These conditional rights are not subject to performance conditions. 

The conditional rights awarded to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for the period from December 19, 2015 to December 31, 2016 
correspond to a maximum replacement rate of 1.86% of the portion of compensation that is between 8 and 40 times the annual ceiling for 
calculating French social security contributions, and 1.04% of the portion of compensation that is between 40 and 60 times the annual ceiling 
for  calculating  French  social  security  contributions.  These  additional  rights  are  awarded  subject  to  fulfilment  by  the  Chairman  and  Chief 
Executive  Officer  of  a  performance  condition,  determined  on  the  basis  of  the  Company’s  financial  position.  The  performance  condition  is 
deemed to be fulfilled if the variable portion of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s compensation paid in 2017 for financial year 2016 is 
100% of his base compensation due for financial year 2016. Should the variable portion not reach 100% of his base compensation, the rights 
will be awarded on a pro rata basis. 

During  its  meeting  on  February  8,  2017,  the  Board  of  Directors  noted  that  the  specified  performance  condition  had  been  fulfilled  and  Mr 
Patrick Pouyanné had additional vested pension rights for the period from December 19, 2015 to December 31, 2016. 

The Board of Directors also noted that Mr Patrick Pouyanné would not be entitled to further pension rights under the plan, given the terms for 
determining pension rights under the plan and the 20 years of service vested by Mr Patrick Pouyanné at December 31, 2016. 

The  conditional  rights  awarded  to  the  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  for  the  period  from  January  1,  1997  to  December  31,  2016 
inclusive, correspond to a maximum replacement rate of 36% of the portion of compensation that is between 8 and 40 times the annual 
ceiling  for  calculating  French  social  security  contributions,  and  20%  of  the  portion  of  compensation  that  is  between  40  and  60  times  the 
annual ceiling for calculating French social security contributions. These conditional rights are not subject to performance conditions. 

Consequently, based on his seniority in the Company at December 31, 2018, the commitments made by TOTAL S.A. to the Chairman and 
Chief Executive Officer in terms of supplementary defined benefits and similar pension plans represented a gross annual retirement pension 
estimated at €616,641, which is 19.73% of Mr Patrick Pouyanné’s gross annual compensation, comprising the annual fixed portion for 2018 
(€1,400,000) and the variable portion to be paid in 2019 for financial year 2018 (€1,725,900). 

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. 

—  Purposes and benefits to the Company of the commitment:

The Board of Directors held on March 14, 2018, decided that it was in the Company’s interest to maintain the commitments made by the 
Company to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in terms of pension plan.

termination or non- renewal of the Chief Executive Officer’s term of office. 

The severance benefit is only paid if termination is imposed due to a change in control or strategy decided by the Company. It is not due in the 
event of gross negligence or willful misconduct or if the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer leaves the Company of his own will, accepts 
new responsibilities within the Group, or may claim full retirement benefits in the short term. 

Payment of the benefit is subject to performance conditions, which are deemed to be met if at least two of the following three criteria are met: 

−  average return on equity (ROE) for the three years preceding the year of retirement is at least 10%; 
−  the average debt- to- equity ratios for the three years preceding the year of retirement is less than or equal to 30%; 
−  TOTAL Group’s oil and gas production growth rate over the three years preceding the year of retirement is greater than or equal to the 

average growth rate of the following four oil companies: ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, BP and Chevron. 

—  Purposes and benefits to the Company of the commitment: 

The Board of Directors held on March 14, 2018, decided that it was in the Company’s interest to maintain the commitments made by the 
Company to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in terms of severance benefit.

2015, at its meeting on December 16, 2015 your Board of Directors confirmed the commitments entered into previously by TOTAL S.A. in

compensation  within  the  limit  of  16  times  the  annual  ceiling  for  calculating  French  social  security  contributions,  corresponding  to  a 
maximum of €3,241,920 in 2019. The amount is increased if there is a dependent child or children. The second option entails a death

Introduction  5 

5.1 

Introduction 

An ambition for the Company: to become the responsible energy major 

TOTAL  is  present  in  more  than  130  countries.  The  nature  of  its 
activities  and  its  geographical  footprint  in  complex  environments 
place  the  Group  at  the  junction  of  a  range  of  society’s  concerns 
relating  to  people,  the  environment  or  business  ethics.  Faced  with 
these  challenges,  TOTAL’s  ambition  is  to  become  the  responsible 
energy major by contributing to supply to as many people as possible 
a more affordable, more available, and cleaner energy. 

This ambition is embodied by the One Total Company project, which 
unites  the  various  activities  of  the  Group,  its  entities  and  all  of  its 
employees  around  a  Company’s  evolution  process  with  the  aim  to 
supply energy to an ever- growing population, taking into account the 
challenges  of  climate  change  and  new  energy  production  and 
consumption patterns. This ambition is based on the values restated 
and  shared  by  all,  (Safety,  Respect  for  Each  Other,  Pioneer  Spirit, 
Stand  Together  and  Performance-Minded).  These  values  guide  the 
Group’s actions. 

TOTAL’s  Code  of  Conduct  sets  forth  the  principles  to  be  applied 
during day-to- day operations. It states the Group’s commitments and 
expectations of each of its stakeholders and serves as a reference 
for employees and any other person working on behalf of the Group. 

The Company adheres to the United Nations Global Compact and 
the  responsible  development  strategy  of  the  Group  is  based,  in 
particular,  on  taking  into  account  the  United  Nations’  Sustainable 
Development Goals (SDGs) in its operations. As such, TOTAL intends 
to conduct its activities according to the following principles of: 

—  ensuring the safety and security of people and the integrity of its 

facilities; 

—  limiting its environmental footprint; 

—  taking into account climate change challenges into its strategy; 

—  incorporating the challenges of sustainable development in the 

management of its activities; 

—  promoting equal opportunities and fostering gender and cultural 

diversity among its personnel; 

—  respecting human rights and business ethics; 

—  increasing its local foothold through stakeholders dialogue with 

the objective of creating shared value. 

The Group employs a continuous risk identification process. These 
risk mappings enable the Group to develop sector policies according 
to the desired level of control. The Group also manages its activities 
through internal management systems implemented at the different 
levels of the company (headquarters, subsidiaries and sites). Within 
this framework, the Group performs regular assessments, following 
different  modalities,  of  the  risks  and  impacts  of  its  activities  in  the 
areas of industrial safety, security, the environment, workers and local 
residents’  protection,  and  business  ethics.  These  assessments  are 
generally carried out: 

—  prior  to  investment  decisions  in  the  Group’s  industrial  projects 
(safety  and  security  studies,  impact  assessments,  particularly 
environmental and societal), acquisition and divestiture; 

—  during operations; 

—  prior to placing new substances on the market (toxicological and 

ecotoxicological studies, life cycle analyses). 

These  assessments  incorporate  the  regulatory  requirements  of  the 
countries  where  the  Group  operates  and  generally  accepted 
professional  practices.  In  addition,  internal  control  systems  are 
structured and regularly adjusted to align with the specific features of 
certain  areas  and  the  corporate  strategic  orientations  set  by  the 
Board of Directors and General Management. 

As part of its statement of non- financial performance, TOTAL 
has thus identified the main challenges linked to its activities. 
These are listed in the introduction to the sections relating to 
social  information,  health,  safety,  the  environment,  climate, 
human rights, the fight against corruption and tax evasion, its 
societal approach and contractors and suppliers relationships. 

For its reporting, TOTAL refers to the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) 
and to the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) 
recommendations on climate. It also relates to the IPIECA guidance 
for  environmental  and  societal  issues.  Detailed  information  on 
these  reporting  guidelines  is  available  on  the  Group’s  website 
(sustainable- performance.total.com). 

TOTAL  also  monitors  its  stakeholders’  perception  of  its  CSR 
(Corporate Social Responsibility) performance. The Group intends to 
organize  its  action  through  a  lasting  approach  of  dialogue  and 
transparency vis- à- vis its stakeholders. 

In  terms  of  non- financial  rating,  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  has  been 
listed on DJSI Europe every year since 2005, except in 2015. TOTAL 
is also in second place in the ranking produced in November 2018 
by the CDP in its publication “Beyond the cycle – Which oil and gas 
companies are ready for the low- carbon transition?” In addition, 2018 
saw  the  confirmation  of  the  Gold  status  of  the  three  TOTAL 
commercial  entities  listed  on  the  EcoVadis  platform  vis- à- vis  their 
customers. 

In 2018, TOTAL was recognized as a “LEAD Company” by the Global 
Compact  for  its  commitment  to  environmental  and  societal 
responsibility, amongst thirty other companies worldwide. 

The  Global  Compact  appointed  TOTAL’s  Chairman  and  Chief 
Executive  Officer  as  an  SDG  Pioneer  in  2017  in  recognition  of  the 
commitments  made  by  the  Group  for  driving  partnerships  and 
investing in low carbon energies.

NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 

Social challenges  5 

TOTAL’s ambition is to become the responsible energy major. Thus, 
in  order  to  help  provide  specific  solutions  to  the  major  challenges 
emerging over the coming decades, TOTAL relies on the know- how 
and commitment of over 104,000 employees around the world. 

In this context, the Group has identified its main challenges to 
developing Human Resources: 

—  attracting  and  developing  talents  by  identifying  and 
enhancing  each  person’s  abilities,  based  on  the  principle 
of non- discrimination and equal opportunity; 

—  maintaining employees’ long-term employability by facilitating 
skills acquisition in order to keep up with the development 
of job sectors and technologies; 

—  ensuring a high level of commitment based on respect for 

each other, health and well- being at work. 

To  address  its  challenges,  TOTAL  relies  on  the  Group  Human 
Resources division, which forms part of People & Social Responsibility 
division, whose President is a member of the Executive Committee. 
In  particular,  the  Group  Human  Resources  division  has  the  role  of 
defining the Human Resources strategy and policies of the Group in 
accordance with the business challenges and the One Total Company 
project. 

In line with the multiple situations encountered in the field, it coordinates 
the promotion and roll- out of the new policies to support the various 
Human Resources departments in the Group’s business segments. 
The  Group’s  indicators  were  reviewed  in  2018  with  a  view  to 
improving  the  implementation  of  Human  Resources  policies  and 
obtaining  more  detailed  knowledge  of  specific  local  requirements, 
and are monitored in order to enhance the Group’s Human Resources 
activities. 

5.3.1  Attracting and developing talents

Attracting and developing the talents that the Group needs is 
one of the key factors in the implementation of the Company 
project. TOTAL’s tools for dealing with these challenges include 
appropriate  management  of  employees  joining  and  leaving 
the Group, a responsible compensation policy for employees, 
and on increasing employee shareholding.

The increase in the number of employees between 2017 and 2018 is

(addition  of  the  3,268  employees  of  Argedis  included  in  the 
consolidation  scope  and  integration  of  nearly  4,000  employees 
following  the  acquisitions  of  notably  Mærsk  Oil  and  Direct  Énergie) 
as well as an increase of hirings.

France (15.7%) and North America (10.7%). 

In 2018, the consolidated Group companies hired 11,650 employees 
on fixed-term contracts, compared with 5,287 in 2017. This increase 
results from a scope variation due to the integration in 2018 in the 
consolidation  scope  of  Argedis,  which  business  has  a  significant 
seasonality (service stations) and which involves hiring on temporary 
contracts.

TOTAL’s workforce movements 

Since  the  end  of  2014,  the  oil  &  gas  industry  has  experienced  an 
economic  downturn  related  in  particular  to  the  significant  fall  in  oil 
prices.  In  this  difficult  environment,  TOTAL  decided  to  protect  its 
workforce  while  limiting  recruitment.  In  light  of  a  more  favorable 
economic environment, which nonetheless remains subject to the oil 
price  volatility,  hiring  resumed  in  2018  and  increased  by  11.2% 
compared  to  2017.  This  represents  a  total  of  13,506  employees 
hired with permanent contract within the consolidated scope. 

TOTAL implements a proactive policy of recruiting young people at 
the start of their career, regardless of their job sector or background. 
The  Group  gives  them  the  opportunity  to  forge  a  variety  of  career 
paths  through  tailored,  continuous  training  programs  designed  to 
improve  long- term  employability.  This  enables  TOTAL  to  adapt  to 
structural and job sector changes. 

In addition, TOTAL hires more experienced profiles for more specific 
positions, while offering them long- term career prospects within the 
Group. 

The Group’s compensation policy applies to all companies in which 
TOTAL S.A. holds the majority of voting rights. The aim of this policy 
is to ensure external competitiveness and internal fairness, reinforce 
the link to individual performance, increase employee share ownership 
and 
implement  the  Group’s  Corporate  Social  Responsibility 
commitments. 

locally.  Regular  benchmarking 

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 
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 assessed 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  management  job  level  evaluation  (JL  ≥ 10) (2) 
using the Hay method which associates a salary range with 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.

The compensation structure of the Group’s employees is based on 
the following components, depending on the country: 

5.3.1.3  A proactive policy to increase employee 

shareholding and employee savings 

NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 

Social challenges  5 

—  a  base  salary,  which  is  subject  to  individual  and/or  general 
salary- raise campaigns each year. The merit- based salary- raise 
campaigns  are  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; and 

—  an 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 2018, 86.7% 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  2018- 2020  applicable  to  the  oil  and 
petrochemicals (1) (scope of about 17,700 employees in 2018) sector 
in France, the amount available for employee incentive is determined 
based on: 

—  financial parameters (the Group’s return on equity as an absolute 

value and compared to four peers (2)), 

—  the attainment of safety targets (injury rate and accidental deaths 

in the oil and petrochemicals sector in France), 

—  criteria assessed at the level of the entity to which the employees 
belong,  relating  to  employee  commitment  to  priority  areas 
identified by the Total Foundation program, which is driven mainly 
by the Fondation d’entreprise Total in France, 

—  criteria  relating  to  the  performance  of  the  entity  in  question 
(production, sales volumes, gross margins, operating costs, etc.). 

The  Group  also  offers  pension  and  employee  benefit  programs 
(health  and  death)  meeting  the  needs  of  the  subsidiaries  and  the 
Group’s  standards.  These  programs,  which  supplement  those  that 
may be provided for 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; 

—  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. 

These programs are reviewed on a regular basis and adjusted when 
necessary. 

Employee  shareholding,  one  of  the  pillars  of  the  Group’s  Human 
Resources 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  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 each year since 2009). 
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 point 4.3.4 of chapter 4). 
The 2018 plan approved by the Board of Directors of TOTAL S.A. in 
March  2018  granted  a  7%  higher  volume  of  performance  shares 
compared  with  the  2017  plan.  Over  40%  of  plan  beneficiaries  had 
not  received  performance  shares  the  previous  year.  More  than 
10,000 employees were concerned by this plan, over 97% of whom 
are non- senior executives. 

TOTAL also invites employees of companies more than 50% owned 
in terms of voting rights, and subscribing to the Shareholder Group 
Savings Plan (PEG- A) created in 1999 for this purpose, to subscribe 
to share capital increases reserved for employees. Previously offered 
every two years, share capital increases reserved for employees now 
take  place  annually.  As  a  result,  more  than  60%  of  the  Group’s 
employees are shareholders. Depending on the offerings chosen and 
the  employees’  location,  these  operations  are  completed  either 
through Company Savings Plans (3) (FCPE) or by subscribing directly 
for shares or for American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) in the United 
States. 

Pursuant  to  the  authorization  given  by  the  Annual  Shareholders’ 
Meeting  of  June  1,  2018,  the  Board  of  Directors  of  TOTAL  S.A. 
approved, at its meeting on September 19, 2018, the principle of a 
share  capital  increase  reserved  for  employees  to  be  completed 
in  2019.  This  operation  will  concern  approximately  100  countries. 
As in 2018, two offerings are proposed: a traditional scheme with a 
20%  discount  and  a  leveraged  scheme  in  all  countries  where 
permitted by law. Employees will receive a matching contribution of 
five  free  shares  for  the  first  five  shares  subscribed.  The  shares 
subscribed will give holders current dividend rights. The subscription 
period will close in mid- May 2019. 

The previous operation took place in 2018. Over 40,000 employees 
in 94 countries took part in this share capital increase, which resulted 
in  the  subscription  of  9,174,817  shares  at  a  price  of  €37.20  per 
share. 

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  wide  range  of  mutual  funds,  including  the  Total 
Actionnariat France fund that is invested in TOTAL shares. 

A Collective Retirement Savings Plan (PERCO) is open to employees 
of  the  Group’s  French  companies  covered  by  the  2004  Group 
agreement on provisions for retirement savings. Other saving plans 
and PERCO are open in some French companies covered by specific 
agreements. Employees can make discretionary contributions in the 
framework of these various plans, which the Group’s companies may 
supplement under certain conditions through a matching contribution. 
The Group’s companies in France made gross matching contributions 
that totaled €70.8 million in 2018.

5.3.2  Maintaining employees’ long- term employability 

Maintaining employees’ long- term employability is another key 
factor in the successful implementation of the Company project. 
In  order  to  manage  this  risk,  the  Group  operates  a  tailored 
training policy focused on two areas: facilitating skills acquisition 
in order to keep up with the development of job sectors and 
technologies,  and  contributing  to  maintaining  employees’ 
long- term employability. 

The  technical  and  commercial  know- how  of  employees  and  their 
ability  to  manage  large  projects  underpin  the  Group’s  operational 
excellence  and  are  essential  for  the  Group’s  development.  TOTAL 
therefore  offers  tailored,  continuous  training  programs  aimed  at 
enhancing employees’ skills and employability. These training courses 
form part of an approach based on improving skills and supporting 
careers, including for employees moving between business segments 
and/or geographical region. 

The Group’s policy in the field of training hinges on five major areas: 

—  sharing TOTAL’s corporate values, particularly with respect to HSE, 

ethics, leadership, innovation and digital technology; 

—  supporting  the  development  of  existing  activities  and  creating 

new ones in order to achieve the Group’s ambitions; 

—  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 mobility and diversity within the Group 

through language and intercultural training. 

The  Group’s  training  efforts  remained  strong  in  2018,  with  75%  of 
employees having attended at least one site training during the year. 
In  2018,  there  were  234,174  days  of  on  site  training,  for  a  total 
budget around €157 million. 

For remote training, there were 30,128 people trained.

In  addition,  TOTAL  has  a  technical  training  center,  Oléum,  which 
combines  technical  expertise  and  life- size  technical  learning 
platforms. The center operates on two sites in France (in Dunkerque 
and La Mède), offering trainees a life- size Seveso environment and 
providing  technical  training  in  operations,  maintenance,  inspection, 
safety and more. Oléum welcomes interns from all sectors of activity 

of the Group worldwide, as well as partners and external customers. 
In  2018,  a  platform  was  introduced  enabling  the  delivery  of  the 
certified  Basic  Offshore  Safety  Induction  and  Emergency  Training 
course.  This  certification  is  mandatory  for  all  personnel  working  on 
offshore platforms. 

5.3.3  Ensuring a high level of commitment based on respect for each other, 

health and well- being at work 

To  ensure  a  high  level  of  commitment  from  its  employees, 
the  Group  promotes  Human  Resources  development  based 
on  respect  for  each  other,  health  and  well-being  at  work. 
TOTAL’s approach is based on a number of levers. In addition 
to  the  organization  of  work  and  social  dialogue,  TOTAL  aims 
to promote equal opportunities and diversity. It intends to ban 
all  discrimination  related  to  origin,  gender,  sexual  orientation 
or  identity,  disability,  age  or  affiliation  with  a  political,  labor  or 
religious organization. 

5.3.3.1  Promoting equal treatment of employees 

and banning discrimination 

Present in more than 130 countries, diversity is an integral part of the 
Group’s DNA. Openness to the world, its cultures and differences is 
a significant feature of TOTAL and is a key success factor. The Group 
has long been involved in promoting equal opportunities and diversity, 
and strives to promote an environment conducive to the expression 
and development of all employees’ potential. 

The  diversity  of  its  employees  and  management  is  crucial  to  the 
Group’s  competitiveness,  innovative  capacity  and  attractiveness. 
TOTAL  works  to  develop  its  employees’  skills  and  careers  while 
prohibiting  any  discrimination  related  to  origin,  gender,  sexual 
orientation or identity, disability, age or affiliation with a political, labor 
or religious organization. 

This  policy  is  supported  at  the  highest  level  and  promoted  by  the 
Diversity  Council,  which  is  chaired  by  a  member  of  the  Group’s 
Executive Committee. 

Each  entity  is  responsible  for  creating  a  suitable  work  environment 
so that they offer all employees the same career opportunities and 
can benefit from all of the skills and diverse approaches they bring. 

Promoting equal opportunity and diversity is part of a policy and has 
long been monitored. TOTAL was one of the pioneering Groups with 
regard to diversity. It has prioritized two key components of diversity: 
gender diversity and internationalization, aiming to offer women and 
men of all nationalities the same career opportunities up to the highest 
levels of management. TOTAL has set itself targets to this end. 

to 

In  addition 
the  components  of  gender  diversity  and 
internationalization,  disability  forms  an  integral  part  of  the  Group’s 
diversity policy. Previously mainly deployed and coordinated in France, 
the  disability  policy  was  rolled  out  internationally  in  October  2018 
through  the  signing  of  the  International  Labour  Organization  (ILO) 
Global Business and Disability Network Charter. In September 2018, 

TOTAL renewed its commitment to diversity, equal opportunities and 
economic  and  social  performance  by  signing  the  new  Diversity 
Charter introduced by the “Les entreprises pour la cité” network in 
France. By signing this new charter, TOTAL has reaffirmed its aim to 
be a responsible employer. The Group was one of the 33 founding 
signatories  of  the  charter  when  it  was  launched  in  2004.  In 
November  2018,  within  the  European  Round  Table  of  Industrialists 
(ERT)  framework,  TOTAL  signed  a  pledge  through  which  the 
signatories hope to strengthen the European movement to promote 
Diversity and Inclusion. 

Equal treatment for women and men 

TOTAL  is  committed  to  respecting  the  principle  of  equal  treatment 
for  women  and  men  and  promotes  this  fundamental  principle  and 
ensures that it is correctly applied. Equal treatment for women and 
men  is  promoted  in  the  Group  through  a  global  policy  of  gender 
diversity,  targets  set  by  General  Management,  Human  Resources 
processes  that  take  the  issue  of  gender  into  consideration, 
agreements  in  favor  of  a  better  work- life  balance  (such  as  the 
agreement on remote working in France) and awareness-raising and 
training actions. 

TOTAL’s commitment spans from recruitment to the end of a career. 
It guarantees equal treatment for women and for men in the process 
for  identifying  high-potential  employees  and  appointing  executives. 
In terms of compensation, specific measures have been set in place 
since 2010 to prevent and compensate for unjustified salary gaps. 

The Group’s target for 2020 is: 

—  women  represent  25%  of  senior  executives  (they  were 

approximately 5% in 2004 and are 21.6% in 2018); 

—  women represent more than 20% of Management Committees 
members (head office and subsidiaries) (they are 21.8% in 2018). 

In  order  to  increase  the  representation  of  women  in  Management 
Committees, at the end of 2018 the Executive Committee set a new 
target  of  20%  women  members  of  Management  Committees  of 
branches and large operational divisions. 

In  terms  of  TOTAL  S.A.,  TOTAL’s  commitment  took  shape  in  2016 
with the arrival of the President of the People & Social Responsibility 
division to the Group’s Executive Committee (7 people). With regard 
to diversity in the 10% of the highest management of the Company 
positions,  the  proportion  of  women  equals  15%.  At  Group  level, 
which is the most relevant perimeter considering TOTAL’s activities, 
this proportion equals 21% (1).

Social challenges 

TOTAL aims to hire women in proportions that reflect the percentages 
of qualifications awarded by the higher education establishments in 
its  business  segments.  The  Group  strives  to  promote  the  same 
proportion  of  women  and  men  with  equivalent  qualifications  and 
experience  within  the  overall  population  eligible  for  a  specific 
promotion. 

To encourage young women to choose to study technical subjects, 
TOTAL  has  been  a  partner  of  the  “Elles  bougent”  organization  in 
France since 2011, and served as honorary Chairman in 2015. Some 
130 female engineers regularly inform high-school girls about careers 
in science. Throughout the Group, female engineers and technicians 
from all cultures are encouraged to give talks to high- school girls and 
female  students  to  illustrate  women’s  contribution  to  the  fields  of 
science and technology. 

Diversity is also promoted through action to change mentalities, and 
awareness,  training  and  communication  events  are  held  regularly. 
Internal training courses such as “Managing your career as a woman” 
and “Managing diversity” are also available. 

Through  its  mentoring  activities  and  development  workshops,  the 
TWICE (Total Women’s Initiative for Communication and Exchange) 
network also helps to develop the gender diversity policy. It aims to 
promote the progression of women within the Group, particularly to 
management roles, and help women further their careers. Created in 
2006, it is currently in place in France and abroad (35 local networks) 
and has over 3,200 members. Since 2010, nearly 610 women have 
benefitted  from  the  network’s  mentoring  program,  in  France  and 
internationally,  and  which  helps  them  to  better  anticipate  the  key 
phases of their careers. 

The signing of agreements, international charters and commitments 
relating  to  diversity  is  emblematic  of  the  Group’s  conviction  at  the 
very highest level of decision- making. 

Thus,  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 opportunities and the 
equal  treatment  of  women  and  men  is  regularly  embodied  in 
agreements  that  address  the  issue  of  diversity,  such  as  the  global 
agreement  signed  in  2015  with  IndustriALL,  or  the  Global  Deal  to 
which TOTAL has adhered more recently in 2017. 

In  2016,  TOTAL,  along  with  20  other  oil  and  gas  companies,  got 
involved  at  the  World  Economic  Forum  by  signing  “Closing  the 
Gender  Gap  –  a  Call  to  Action”.  This  joint  declaration  is  based  on 
seven  action  principles  (leadership;  expectations  and  goal  setting; 
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) program; 
clear  responsibilities;  recruitment,  retention  and  promotion  policies; 
inclusive  corporate  culture;  and  work  environment  and  work-life 
balance)  and  two  decisive  drivers:  more  diverse  recruitment  and 
greater openness of technical and management roles to women. 

In the same vein, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer chaired 
the 15th  edition of the Entretiens de Royaumont discussion forum at 
the end of 2018, on the subject of “Being a woman”.

Measures promoting the employment 
and integration of people with disabilities 

The  integration  and  job  retention  of  people  with  disabilities  are 
covered by specific measures incorporated into the Group’s diversity 
policy. 

In France, for over 20 years, TOTAL has implemented its policy to 
promote  the  employment  of  people  with  disabilities  by  signing 
agreements  with  employee  representatives.  Three  framework 
agreements  signed  for  three  years  (2016- 2018)  with  the  French 
representative unions and approved by the government (DIRECCTE 
92) set out the commitments of the Group’s French companies with
regard  to  occupational  integration  of  people  with  disabilities.  The
average Group employment rate of people with disabilities in France
(direct  and  indirect  employment)  was  5.19%  in  2017 (1)  (compared
to  5.16%  in  2016  and  4.99%  in  2015).  These  agreements  will  be
renegotiated in 2019.

The agreements in force are based on three major priorities: 

—  professional support throughout the employee’s career; 

—  an integration and professional training plan; 

—  the  development  of  agreements  and  partnerships  with  the 
disabled and protected employment sectors (ESAT and EA). 

TOTAL  promotes  recruitment  of  people  with  disabilities  as  well  as 
indirect employment by purchasing from the protected employment 
sector as part of its responsible procurement. At the same time, the 
Group takes various types of action: 

—  internally:  integration,  professional  training,  support  and  job 
retention,  communication,  awareness  actions  and  sessions 
organized for managers and all the teams, as well as for Human 
Resources managers; 

—  externally:  information  and  advertising  aimed  at  students, 
cooperation with recruitment agencies, attendance at specialized 
forums, partnerships with schools and universities. 

TOTAL’s Disability Program is a structure within the Diversity department 
of the Group’s Human Resources division. It is responsible for leading 
the disability policy and relies on a network of expert contacts within 
the establishments. 

Internationally,  the  Group’s  actions  to  support  employees  with 
disabilities  took  on  a  new  dimension  at  the  end  of  2018,  with  the 
ambition of going beyond the legal requirements in all of the countries 
where  it  operates.  This  aim  was  embodied  by  the  signing  of  the 
International Labour Organization (ILO) Global Business and Disability 
Network  Charter  in  October  2018.  To  date,  40  subsidiaries  have 
voluntarily signed up to the scheme and have set goals for the next 
two years on the basis of the five principles identified as priorities by 
the  Group:  respect  and  promotion  of  rights,  policy  and  practice  of 
non- discrimination, accessibility, job retention and confidentiality. The 
first  stage  of  implementation  took  place  in  December  2018,  on 
International Day of Persons with Disabilities, giving the participating 
subsidiaries the opportunity to share internal best practices and learn 
from the ILO network and other companies’ experiences. 

In addition, TOTAL supports organizations such as the Association 
Total  Solidarité  Handicap  (ATSH),  which  was  formed  in  1975  by 
employees  with  children  with  disabilities.  ATSH  provides  discreet, 
confidential moral and financial support, helps with paperwork and 
practical assistance to current and retired employees of the Group 
and  their  dependents  in  France  who  are  affected  by  disability.  It 
currently has over 350 members, a third of whom received help from 
the association in 2018. 

Commitment to promote the professional 
integration of young people 

TOTAL  is  committed  to  promoting  the  professional  integration  of 
young people, thus increasing their employability. It believes that for 
maximum impact, this issue must be tackled as early as possible in 
the education system, and has therefore put in place targeted actions 
tailored  to  the  specific  context  of  the  countries  where  they  are 
implemented. 

In  France,  TOTAL’s  target  is  to  have  50%  of  secondary  education 
internships  offered  to  disadvantaged  youths.  Since  2018,  this  has 
been implemented in the Paris region. 

In  Africa,  the  Young  Graduate  Program  run  by  the  Marketing  & 
Services segment offers graduates below the age of 25 an 18- month 
work placement. The program is split into two phases consisting of 
work experience at a subsidiary in the young person’s home country 
followed  by  an  assignment  in  another  country.  Since  the  program 
was  launched  in  2014,  over  350  young  people  have  taken  this 
opportunity  to  improve  their  employability.  The  Young  Graduate 
Program aims to reach the milestone of 500 graduates registered by 
2020. 

Volontariat  International  en  Entreprise  (VIE)  is  an  international 
internship  program  that  offers  young  graduates  aged  between  18 
and  28,  from  France  or  other  European  Economic  Area  member 
states,  professional  internship  within  an  affiliate  and  abroad  for  a 
maximum of 24 months. The program has been in operation within 
the Group since 2002, and over 1,700 young people have benefited 
from it to date. 

Other anti- discrimination measures 

Large- scale  initiatives  aimed  at  raising  employees’  awareness  of 
diversity are organized on a regular basis. 

In October 2018, the Diversity Council, chaired by a member of the 
Executive  Committee,  met  in  Paris.  A  year- end  2017  review  was 
performed  and  areas  for  action  were  identified  to  ensure  that  the 
goals  set  for  2020  are  achieved,  particularly  in  terms  of  the 
appointment, recruitment, feminization and internationalization of the 
Group’s senior executives. 

The Group signed the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) 
Charter  in  2014.  Prepared  by  the  “L’Autre  Cercle”  association,  it 
establishes  a  framework  for  combating  discrimination  related  to 
sexual orientation or identity in the workplace in France. 

TOTAL has written a practical guide to religion in the Group to offer 
concrete  answers  to  employees’  questions  about  religion  in  the 
workplace  and  to  promote  tolerance  of  everyone’s  beliefs,  while 
respecting differences at the same time. The guide, which was posted 
on  the  Group’s  intranet  site  in  March  2017,  offers  the  keys  to 
understanding  different  beliefs,  so  that  everyone  can  better 
comprehend them in their everyday activities. 

5.3.3.2  Measures to meet the specific requirements 

of the organization of work 

The Group’s activities are varied and, depending on the segments, 
require the implementation of specific regimes for the organization of 
work, such as the “shift” regime (1) and the “rotational” regime (2). Most 
shift workers are employed in the Refining & Chemicals, Marketing & 
Services  and  Gas,  Renewables  &  Power  segments,  while  the 
rotational  regime  mainly  concerns  the  Exploration  &  Production 
segment. 

The average work week is determined in accordance with applicable 
local  law  and  limits  set  by  International  Labour  Organization  (ILO) 
conventions. Excluding specific regimes, it is less than 40 hours in 
most subsidiaries located in Europe, Japan and Qatar. It is 40 hours 
in  most  subsidiaries  located  in  Asian,  African  and  North  American 
countries.  It  is  above  40  hours,  without  exceeding  48  hours,  in 
subsidiaries  located  in  Latin  America  (mainly  Argentina,  Brazil, 
Mexico), a few countries in Asia (Cambodia, India, Philippines) and 
Africa (mainly South Africa, Equatorial Guinea and Morocco). 

TOTAL recruited nearly 5,000 interns in France over the 2016- 2018 
period, corresponding to 5% of the workforce in France. As of 2019, 
the  Group  is  committed  to  continuing  with  the  scheme  in  the  long 
term. In addition, indicators reflecting TOTAL’s priority commitments 
in relation to gender diversity, disability and the professional integration 
of disadvantaged youths will be set up to improve monitoring. 

The  challenges  involved  in  the  organization  of  work  are  many  and 
varied  depending  on  the  regions  of  the  world  where  the  Group 
operates,  and  the  applicable  local  law.  The  Group  entities  put  in 
place measures to meet the specific requirements of the organization 
of work and promote, where possible, a good work- life balance. For 
example, remote working has been in place in France since 2012.

The sickness absenteeism rate evolves notably due to the integration

5.3.3.3  Promoting social dialogue 

Social dialogue is one of the pillars of the Company project. It includes 
all types of negotiations, consultations or exchanges of information 
between the Group entities, the employees and their representatives 
about  economic  and  social  issues  and  related  to  the  life  of  the 
company.  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. 

The Group strives to maintain this dialogue at both a local level and 
at the head offices or centrally, as well as through its membership of 
bodies and the signing of agreements. 

Among  the  numerous  stakeholders  with  which  TOTAL  maintains 
regular  dialogue,  the  Group’s  employees  and  their  representatives 
have  a  privileged  position  and  role,  particularly  in  discussions  with 
the management teams. In countries where employee representation 
is  not  required  by  law  (for  example  in  Myanmar  and  Brunei),  the 
Group  companies  strive  to  set  up  such  representation.  There  are 
therefore  employee  representatives  in  the  majority  of  Group 
companies, most of whom are elected. 

At European level, the European Committee enables the provision of 
information and discussions about the Group’s strategy and social, 
economic  and  financial  situation,  as  well  as  on  matters  relating  to 
sustainable  development,  environmental  and  societal  responsibility, 
and  safety.  It  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.  A  new  agreement  was 
reached  in  July  2017  that  contains  some  innovative  measures 
allowing  for  better  dialogue  with  the  members  of  the  European 
Committee (field safety visits and learning expeditions to discuss the 
Group’s strategy directly on site). 

Globally, social dialogue is embodied through the signing of various 
agreements. In 2015, TOTAL signed an 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  (occupational 
health  and  safety,  human  rights  in  the  workplace,  enhancement  of 
the  dialogue  with  employees,  life  insurance,  professional  equality, 
societal  responsibility  and  assistance  with  organizational  changes). 
In addition, the Group ensures that the principles of the agreement 
on health, safety and human rights are disclosed to and promoted 
among  its  service  providers  and  suppliers.  The  implementation  of 
this  agreement  is  monitored  annually  with  representatives  who  are 
members of trade unions affiliated with the IndustriALL Global Union 
and  appointed  by  this  federation.  Two  follow-up  meetings  were 
therefore held in July 2017 and 2018 to assess the implementation 
of the agreement and identify areas for improvement and actions to 
be taken. The aim is to maintain the partnership and renegotiate the 
agreement for 2019 and beyond. 

In  December  2017,  TOTAL  also  joined  the  worldwide  Global  Deal 
initiative,  a  multi- stakeholder  partnership  that  aims  to  incite 
governments,  companies,  unions  and  other  organizations  to  make 
concrete  commitments  to  favoring  dialogue  with  employees.  The 
Global  Deal  promotes  the  idea  that  effective  social  dialogue  can 
contribute to decent work and quality jobs and, as a consequence, 
to more equality and inclusive growth from which workers, companies 
and civil society benefit. 

As  a  company  that  listens  to  the  people  who  work  for  it,  TOTAL 
continues  to  build  on  its  Company  project,  One  Total,  through  a 
participative approach that engages employees. This approach was 
illustrated in 2016 by the involvement of employees in a reflection of 
the Group’s ambitions and values. This was followed in 2018 by the 
One Total, Be Simple collaborative campaign focusing on employees’ 
day- to- day lives, with simplification having been identified as the key 
area in which progress must be made in order to achieve the Group’s 
ambition.  Employees  were  able  to  express  their  opinions  on  the 
theme  of  simplification,  share  ideas  for  solutions  and  discuss  the 
issues with each other through a dedicated collaborative platform. 

In  addition,  every  two  year,  TOTAL  carries  out  an  internal  survey 
(Total  Survey)  among  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 last survey 
conducted  in  2017  among  70,000  employees  in  124  countries 
demonstrated that employees have a commitment rate of 78% and 
that 85% of them are proud to work for TOTAL.

5.4  Personal health and safety challenges 

NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 

Personal health and safety challenges  5 

TOTAL places safety at the heart of its ambition to be a responsible 
company. The measures and indicators used to manage the Group’s 
activities  are  based  on  this  fundamental  value,  in  accordance  with 
the strictest standards, particularly relating to health. 

Given the specific nature of its activities, the Group’s operations give 
rise to occupational health and safety risks for its employees and the 
personnel of external contractors. In addition, some of the products 
marketed by TOTAL pose potential risks to the health and safety of 
consumers.  The  Group  therefore  aims  to  meet  its  obligations  with 
regards to information and prevention in order to minimize the risks 
throughout the life cycle of its products. 

The  Group  has  therefore  identified  its  main  personal  health  and 
safety challenges: 

—  preventing occupational accidents; 

—  preventing  occupational  health  risks  through  improved 

assessment; 

—  minimizing the risks throughout the life cycle of products to 

prevent consumer health and safety risks. 

To address its challenges, TOTAL relies on the HSE division, which 
forms  part  of  the  People  &  Social  Responsibility  division,  whose 
President is a member of the Executive Committee. 

In line with the multiple situations encountered in the field, the HSE 
division  coordinates  the  promotion  and  implementation  of  new 
policies  to  support  the  various  HSE  departments  of  the  Group’s 
entities and subsidiaries to enable them to prevent or mitigate risks. 
Indicators  are  monitored  so  that  the  Group’s  actions  in  relation  to 
personal health and safety can be continuously adapted. 

TOTAL  conducts  its  operations  on  the  basis  of  its  Safety  Health 
Environment  Quality  Charter  (available  at  total.com).  It  forms  the 
common foundation for the Group’s management frameworks, and 
sets out the basic principles applicable to safety, security, health, the 
environment,  quality  and  societal  commitment.  This  Charter  is 
implemented  at  several  levels  within  the  Group  through  its 
management systems. Group directives and rules define the minimum 
requirements expected in these areas. General specifications, guides 
and manuals are the documents used to implement these directives 
and rules. The Group’s framework is available to all employees. 

Since  2013,  the  Group’s  business  segments  have  increased  their 
efforts regarding the frameworks of the HSE management systems 
in order to provide greater overall Group- wide consistency, while at 
the  same  time  respecting  the  businesses’  specific  characteristics. 
The  One  MAESTRO  (Management  and  Expectations  Standards 
Toward Robust Operations) reference framework, which focuses on 
HSE  issues  and  is  common  to  all  of  the  business  segments,  has 
been  gradually  rolled  out  since  2018.  This  reference  framework 
stipulates  that  HSE  audits  must  be  carried  out  every  three  to 
five  years  on  all  assets,  activities  and  sites  operated  by  the 
Group’s  entities  and  subsidiaries (1),  which  must  also  perform  a 
self- assessment  at  least  every  two  years.  The  Group’s  HSE  audit 
protocol  is  based  on  this  framework  and  contains  all  of  the 
requirements  of  ISO  14001:2015  and  ISO  45001:2018.  The  audit 
protocol is applied in full during self- assessments and according to a 
risk- based approach during audits. 

The  Group’s  entities  and  subsidiaries  holding  an  interest  in 
non-operated  assets  endeavor  to  promote  the  Group  HSE 
requirements and best practices and to adopt similar requirements 
by  the  operator.  This  promotion  process  can  be  exercised  during 
board  meetings,  technical  assistance  contracts  or  through  audits 
when they are part of the shareholders’ agreements. 

5.4.1  Preventing occupational accidents 

5 

The  Group’s  personal  safety  policy  covers  three  main  areas: 
preventing  occupational  accidents,  preventing  transport  accidents, 
and preventing accidents linked to technological risks, such as fires 
and  explosions.  It  relates  to  all  employees  of  Group  subsidiaries, 
employees of external contractors working on these entities’ sites as 
well as employees of transport companies under long-term contracts. 
The safety results are monitored with the same vigilance for all. 

Indicators  defined  according  to  an  internal  procedure  measure  the 
main results. In addition to its aim of zero fatalities in the exercise of 
its activities, the Group has set the target of continuously reducing 
the  TRIR (2)  and,  for  2018,  of  keeping  it  below  0.9  for  all  personnel 
(Group and External Contractors). 

(1) Excluding Hutchinson and SunPower, which have their own reference frameworks. Hutchinson also has its own audit protocol.

Regarding  road  transport,  for  many  years  the  Group  has  been 
monitoring  the  number  of  severe  road  accidents  involving  its 
employees and those of external contractors. The actions taken have 
reduced  the  number  of  severe  accidents  between  2016  and  2018 
by 33%. Work began in new areas in 2018, particularly relating to the 
use  of  new  technologies  in  accident  prevention  (defining  a  new

assessment of the driver support and assistance systems offered by 
manufacturers  (automatic  emergency  braking,  lane  keeping  assist,

The Group’s safety efforts over more than 10 years have resulted in a 
significant  improvement  in  the  TRIR  and  LTIR.  Performance  has 
stabilized  since  2016,  mainly  due  to  acquisitions  and  disposals  of 
assets  or  subsidiaries.  The  gradual  implementation  of  the  One 
MAESTRO framework aims to strengthen the Group’s safety culture 
and  create  a  new  drive  to  improve  safety  results.  Despite  the 
measures put in place, in 2018 three accidents resulted in the death 
of four employees working for external contractors: one during road 
transport in Ethiopia, one during a handling operation in the Republic 
of the Congo, and two during an operation to recommission a fuel 
storage tank in Egypt. 

Generally, an analysis is launched in response to any type of accident 
whatsoever. The method and scope of the analysis depend on the 
actual or potential severity of the event. Consequently, a near miss 
with a high severity potential is treated as a severe accident, and its 
analysis is considered an essential factor of progress. Depending on 
its relevance to the other Group entities, it triggers a safety alert and 
the distribution of a feedback form, depending on the circumstances. 

Regarding  occupational  safety,  since  2010,  the  basic  rules  to  be 
scrupulously  followed  by  all  personnel,  employees  and  contractors 
alike, in all of the Group’s businesses worldwide, are described in the 
document  “Safety  at  Work:  TOTAL’s  Twelve  Golden  Rules”,  which 
has been widely circulated within the Group. 

The aim of the Golden Rules is to set out simple, easy- to- remember 
rules that cover a large number of occupational accidents. In addition, 
further  rules  can  be  found  in  the  One  MAESTRO  HSE  framework, 
the business segment frameworks and the subsidiary frameworks. 

According  to  the  Group’s  internal  statistics,  in  more  than  44%  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  Stop  Card  system,  which  was  set  up  in  2015, 
also enables any employee of the Group or an external contractor to 
intervene if any of the Golden Rules is not being followed. In addition, 
in  2016,  the  HSE  department  created  a  unit  bringing  together  the 
reference  persons  on  high- risk  operations  (work  at  height,  lifting, 
high- pressure  cleaning,  excavations,  etc.)  in  order  to  consolidate 
in- house knowledge and relations with contractors. 

The  reporting  of  anomalies  and  near  misses  (approximately 
600,000  per  year)  is  strongly  encouraged  on  a  daily  basis  and  is 
permanently  monitored.  The  ability  of  each  employee  to  identify 
anomalies  or  dangerous  situations  is  one  of  the  measures  of  the 
employees’  involvement  and  vigilance  in  accident  prevention  and 
reflects the safety culture within the Group. In 2016, the Group HSE 
Department also created a unit aimed at providing support for sites 
to improve their safety culture upon their request. 

(a)  Overturned vehicle or other accident resulting in the injury of a crew member (declared 

incident). 

(b) Vehicles on long- term contract with the Group (>  6 months). 

With regard to air transport, a carrier selection process exists to limit 
the  risks  relating  to  travel  by  Group  and  external  contractor’s 
employees, if their journey is organized by the Group. This process is 
based  on  data  provided  by  recognized  international  bodies:  the 
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the IATA Operational 
Safety  Audit  (IOSA),  the  International  Association  of  Oil  and  Gas 
Producers  (IOGP),  and  civil  aviation  authority  recommendations. 
Airlines  that  do  not  have  a  rating  from  an  international  body  are 
assessed by an independent body commissioned by the Group. 

With regard to  technological risks (also known as “major” industrial 
risks), the risk analysis and prevention actions are described in point 
5.5.2 of this chapter. 

Whatever  the  nature  of  the  accident,  prevention  actions  rely  on  all 
employees  abiding  by  the  Group’s  safety  policies.  These  are 
disseminated through training courses aimed at the various groups 
of  employees  (new  arrivals,  managers,  senior  executives,  etc.), 
including: 

—  Safety  Pass:  These  safety  induction  courses  were  started  on 
January 1st, 2018, for new arrivals at the Group. Various courses 
exist depending on the position held, and cover the Company’s 
major  risks,  the  risks  linked  to  the  activities  on  site  as  well  as 
those  linked  to  the  workplace.  The  theoretical  content  is 
supplemented by practical “life- saving” training sessions; 

—  HSE for Managers aimed at operational or functional managers 
who are currently or will in the future be responsible within one of 
the Group’s entities. Sessions are offered on all of the continents 
where TOTAL operates. Seven sessions were held in 2018 with 
305 managers participating; 

—  HSE Leadership for Group Senior Executives focused on safety 
leadership. Its objective is to give senior executives the tools to 
communicate  and  develop  a  safety  culture  within  their 
organization. This course is currently being updated, and a pilot 
session in the new format will be held in early 2019. The target is 
for  all  senior  executives  to  have  taken  the  new  module  within 
three years. 

As TOTAL’s core value, Safety has been a component of the Group’s 
employee compensation policy since 2011. A portion of the variable 
compensation received by employees, as well as by senior executives 
and  the  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer,  depends  on  the 
achievement  of  HSE  targets  (refer  to  point  4.3.2  of  chapter  4  and 
point 5.3.1 of this chapter). 

With regard to security, the Group has put in place means to analyze 
threats and assess risks in order to take preventive measures to limit 
its exposure to security risks in the countries where it operates.

5.4.2  Preventing occupational health risks through improved assessment 

NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 

Personal health and safety challenges  5 

With  regard  to  prevention  of  occupational  health  risks,  the  Group 
implements a policy that defines the risk assessment methodology 
to be applied by all Group entities and subsidiaries. The associated 
Group  directive  stipulates  that  the  assessment  includes  chemical, 
physical,  biological,  ergonomic  and  psychosocial  risks,  and  that  it 
must result in the design and roll-out of an action plan. In addition, it 
requires that each Group entity sets out a formal medical monitoring 
procedure  taking  into  account  the  requirements  under  local  law 
(frequency, type of examination, etc.) and the level of exposure of its 
personnel to the various risks. 

To  complement  this  program,  the  Group  has  set  up  an  employee 
health observatory. The aim is to monitor the health of a sample of 
employees  in  order  to  identify  the  emergence  of  certain  illnesses 
and,  if  applicable,  suggest  appropriate  preventive  measures.  The 
data  is  gathered  anonymously  during  medical  examinations  and 
covers approximately 12% of Group employees worldwide. 

The  Group  also  has  a  Medical  Advisory  Committee  that  meets 
regularly to discuss key health issues relating to the Group’s activities. 
It  decides  whether  there  is  a  need  for  additional  health  protection 
strategies to be implemented. It consists of external scientific experts 
and  also  brings  together  the  Group’s  senior  executives  and 
stakeholders concerned by these issues. 

In terms of prevention, the Group has decided to make psychosocial 
risk prevention a priority commitment. In 2018, the Group identified 
four areas of progress worldwide: 

—  a minimum level of awareness and training for all; 

—  a  system  for  measuring  stress  and  the  quality  of  the  social 

climate, facilitating the production of action plans; 

—  a  system  for  listening  to  and  supporting  employees  in  difficult 

situations; 

—  coordination of actions and monitoring of indicators. 

A  Quality  of  Life  at  Work  and  Health  working  group  was  set  up  in 
September 2018 to coordinate and ensure the effectiveness of all of 
the actions taken. Led by the Group Human Resources division, all 
of  TOTAL’s  business  segments  are  represented,  particularly  the 
international  medical  department.  Its  first  task  is  to  create  and  roll 
out  a  Worldwide  Psychosocial  Risk  (PSR)  Prevention  program  that 
addresses the four areas for progress. 

Regarding the priority commitment to training, a fully updated PSR 
pack  aimed  at  entity  managers,  prevention  contributors  and 
managers was finalized in 2018. Approved by international experts, 
it has now been translated into 11 languages and is the core material 
for  training  on  this  subject.  The  pack  consists  of  two  guides:  a 
methodological guide for entity managers and anyone with a role in 
PSR  prevention,  and  a  practical  guide  for  managers  to  raise 
awareness of the importance of the quality of life at work as a key 
factor  in  preventing  PSRs.  It  also  aims  to  support  them  in  the 
day- to- day  management  of  their  teams  in  the  event  of  difficulties, 
risky situations and crisis situations. 

On  a  broader  level,  TOTAL  is  helping  to  promote  individual  and 
collective  health  programs  in  the  countries  where  it  operates, 
including vaccination campaigns and screening programs for certain 
diseases  (AIDS,  cancer,  malaria,  etc.)  for  employees,  their  families 
and local communities. Action is also taken regularly to raise awareness 
of lifestyle risks (anti- smoking and anti- drinking campaigns, etc.). 

The  Group  has  put  in  place  the  following  indicators  to  monitor  the 
performance of its program:

(a)  As an exception to the reporting principles described in section 5.11 of this chapter, the 2018 
rate does not include a company that did not report its data in time for the 2018 WHRS. 

Reporting  on  occupational  illnesses  covers  only  the  Group’s 
personnel  (WHRS  scope)  and  illnesses  reported  according  to  the 
regulations applicable in the country of operation of each entity. 

Musculoskeletal disorders, the main cause of occupational illnesses 
in  the  Group,  represented  69%  of  all  recorded  illnesses  in  2018, 
against  68%  in  2017.  Therefore,  in  addition  to  ergonomic  risk 
assessments and the gradual training of personnel on its sites, the 
annual Group Industrial Hygiene Day in December 2017 was on the 
theme of Ergonomics and Musculoskeletal disorders. 

The  annual  Group  Industrial  Hygiene  day  held  in  September  2018 
was dedicated to asbestos and refractory ceramic fibers.

Environmental challenges 

5.4.3  Minimizing the risks throughout the life cycle of products 

to prevent consumer health and safety risks 

Unless certain precautions are taken, some of the products marketed 
by TOTAL pose potential consumer health and safety risks; the Group 
therefore  aims  to  meet  its  obligations  with  regard  to  information  
and prevention in order to minimize the risks throughout its products’ 
life cycle. 

TOTAL’s  health  and  products  directive  sets  out  the  minimum 
requirements to be observed by the Group’s entities and subsidiaries 

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.  The  material  safety  data  sheets  (MSDS)  that  accompany  the 
products  marketed  by  the  Group  (in  at  least  one  of  the  languages 
used in the country) as well as product labels are two key sources of 
information. All new products comply with the regulatory requirements 
in the countries and markets for which they are intended. 

5.5  Environmental challenges 

TOTAL places the environment at the heart of its ambition of being a 
responsible  company.  In  light  of  the  specific  nature  of  its  activities, 
the  Group’s  operations  pose  risks  for  which  TOTAL  develops 
structured management systems. 

To address its challenges, TOTAL relies on the HSE division, which is 
part of the People & Social Responsibility division, whose President 
is  a  member  of  the  Executive  Committee.  In  particular,  the  HSE 
division is tasked with defining the HSE strategy and policies of the 
Group  in  line  with  the  business  challenges  and  the  One  Total 
Company project. 

The   Group  has   therefore  identified   its   main  environmental 
challenges: 

—  preventing  incident  risks  connected  to  major  industrial 

events; 

—  limiting  its  environmental  footprint  by  managing  energy 
consumption, emissions in natural environments (water, air, 
soil) and use of natural resources; 

—  not  to  harm  biodiversity  and  ecosystems  during  projects 
and operations especially when situated in sensitive natural 
environments; 

—  limiting its production of residual waste by supporting the 

circular economy. 

in  an 

integrated  manner 

the 
The  HSE  division  manages 
environmental,  security,  health  and  societal  challenges  associated 
with the Group’s operations. It coordinates the implementation of the 
Group’s  Health,  Safety,  Environment  and  Quality  charter,  which 
incorporates  these  challenges,  by  defining  and  monitoring  the 
implementation  of  the  One  MAESTRO  reference  framework.  This 
reference framework is described in detail in point 5.4 of this chapter. 

Environmental  indicators  have  been  monitored  for  many  years  in 
order  to  constantly  adapt  the  Group’s  environmental  protection 
measures, which are presented in this section. 

5.5.1  General policy and environmental targets 

TOTAL  considers  respect  for  the  environment  to  be  a  priority. 
All  employees,  at  every  level,  must  do  their  utmost  to  protect  the 
environment as they go about their work. TOTAL strives to control its 
energy consumption, its emissions in natural environments (water, air, 
soil), its residual waste production, its use of natural resources and 
its impact on biodiversity. With regards to the environment, TOTAL 
takes  a  constructive  approach  that  is  based  on  transparency  and 
dialogue when communicating with its stakeholders and third parties. 

To  this  end,  the  HSE  division  and  the  HSE  departments  within  the 
Group’s entities seek to ensure both applicable local regulations and 
internal  requirements  resulting  from  the  Safety  Health  Environment 

Quality Charter and the Group’s additional commitments are respected. 
Group steering bodies, led by the HSE division, are tasked with: 

—  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 of which they are in charge; and 

—  promoting  the  internal  standards  to  be  applied  by  the  Group’s 

operational entities.

The Group’s environmental targets (a): 

What has been accomplished: 

—  decrease SO2 air emissions by 50% between 2010 and 2020; 

—  more  than  50%  reduction  in  SO2  air  emissions  reached 

—  maintain  hydrocarbon  content  of  water  discharges  below 
30 mg/l for offshore sites and below 15 mg/l for onshore and 
coastal sites; 

—  valorize more than 50% of the waste produced by the sites 

operated by the Group. 

Moreover, the Group is committed to: 

—  systematically develop biodiversity action plans for production 

sites located in protected areas (1); 

—  not conducting oil and gas exploration or production operations 
in  the  area  of  natural  sites  listed  on  the  UNESCO  World 
Heritage List (2); 

—  not  conducting  exploration  in  oil  fields  under  sea  ice  in  the 

Arctic. 

(a)  For the climate change targets, refer to point 5.6 of this chapter. 

since 2017; 

—  100%  of  the  Group’s  oil  sites  have  met  the  target  for  the 
quality  of  onshore  discharges  since  2016  and  96%  of  the 
Group’s oil sites have met the target for the quality of offshore 
discharges in 2018; 

—  more than 50% of the waste produced by the sites operated 

by the Group was valorized in 2018; 

—  5 biodiversity action plans deployed or in preparation in 2018; 

—  no oil and gas exploration or production activity in the area of 
natural sites listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List (2);

—  no exploration activity in oil fields under sea ice in the Arctic. 

The  Group’s  internal  requirements  state  that  the  environmental 
management systems of its operated sites that are important for the 
environment (3)  must  be  ISO  14001  certified  within  two  years  of 
start- up of operations or acquisition: 100% of these 71 sites were in 
conformity in 2018. Beyond these internal requirements, at the end 
of  2018,  a  total  of  264  sites  operated  by  the  Group  were 
ISO  14001  certified.  In  2018,  the  Moho  Nord  site  (Republic  of  the 
Congo) has been ISO 14001 certified. 

All investment, divestment or acquisition projects which are submitted 
to the Executive Committee for approval are assessed and reviewed 
with  regards  to  their  risks  and  impact,  particularly  environmental, 
before the final investment decision is made. 

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). 

5.5.2  Preventing incident risks 

5 

To  prevent  incident  risks  and,  in  particular,  major  industrial  events, 
TOTAL  carries  out  periodic  risk  assessments  and  implements 
adapted risk- management policies and measures. 

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  technological  risk 
management policy. This management draws on a shared approach 
in all segments 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  these  risks.  In  addition  to  its  drilling  and 
pipeline  transport  operations,  the  Group  has  at  the  end  of  2018 
195 sites and operating zones exposed to major technological risks, 
which  could  cause  harm  or  damage  to  people,  property  and  the 
environment, corresponding to: 

—  all the offshore and onshore operating activities in Exploration & 

Production; and 

—  the Seveso classified industrial sites (upper and lower threshold) 
and  their  equivalents  outside  the  EU  (excluding  Exploration  & 
Production). 

This  approach  first  sets  out  an  analysis  of  the  risks  related  to  the 
Group’s  industrial  operations,  on  each  site,  based  on  incident 
scenarios for which the probability of occurrence and the severity of 
the consequences are assessed. 

Second, 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. 

The management of major technological risks also hinges on: 

—  staff training and raising awareness; 

—  a coherent event reporting and indicators system; 

—  systematic, structured serious event analysis, particularly to learn 

lessons in terms of design and operation; 

—  regularly tested contingency plans and measures. 

In terms of monitoring indicators, the Group reports the number of 
Tier  1  and  Tier  2  events  as  defined  by  the  API  and  the  IOGP.  The 
Group  set  itself  a  loss  of  primary  containment  target  of  under  100 
(Tier 1 and Tier 2) in 2018. 

(1)  Sites located in an IUCN I to IV or Ramsar convention protected area. 
(2)  Natural sites included on the UNESCO World Heritage List of December 31, 2017. 
(3)  Sites that emit more than 30 kt CO2e per year.

In  accordance  with  industry  best  practices,  TOTAL  also  monitors 
accidental  liquid  hydrocarbon  spills  of  more  than  one  barrel.  Spills 
that exceed a predetermined severity threshold (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 large spills are followed by corrective actions aimed 
at  returning  the  environment  to  an  acceptable  state  as  quickly  as 
possible. Due to their unpredictable nature, there is no quantitative 
target  for  accidental  hydrocarbon  spills.  Nevertheless,  changes  in 
the number of spills are observed and analyzed.

In  order  to  manage  a  major  accidental  spill  efficiently,  the  Group 
implemented  a  global  crisis  management  system  that  is  primarily 
based on a dedicated organization and a crisis management center 
at  the  head  office  to  enable  the  management  of  two  simultaneous 
crises.  As  part  of  this  process,  TOTAL  regularly  trains  in  crisis 
management  on  the  basis  of  risk  scenarios  identified  through 
analyses. 

In particular, the Group has response plans and procedures in place 
in the event of a hydrocarbon leak or spill. For accidental spills that 
reach  the  water  surface,  oil  spill  contingency  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.

(b)  Decrease  in  2018  compared  to  2017  corresponds  mainly  to  two  subsidiaries  where 

equipment was being refurbished in 2018. 

In the event of accidental pollution, the Group companies can call on 
in- house human and material resources (Fast Oil Spill Team, FOST) 
and  benefit  from  assistance  agreements  with  the  main  third-party 
organizations specialized in the management of hydrocarbon spills. 

Since  2014,  subsea  capping  and  subsea  containment  equipment 
that  can  be  transported  by  air  has  been  strategically  positioned  at 
different  points  of  the  world  (South  Africa,  Brazil,  Norway  and 
Singapore) in order to provide solutions that are readily available in 
the event of oil or gas eruptions in deep offshore drilling operations. 
From these locations, the equipment can benefit TOTAL’s operations 
worldwide.  This  equipment  was  developed  by  a  group  of  nine  oil 
companies, including TOTAL, and is managed by Oil Spill Response 
Ltd  (OSRL),  a  cooperative  dedicated  to  the  response  to  marine 
pollution by hydrocarbons. TOTAL has also designed and developed 
its own capping system (“Subsea Emergency Response System”) to 
stop potential eruptions in drilling or production operations as quickly 
as  possible.  Since  2015,  equipment  has  been  installed  in  Angola, 
then the Republic of the Congo, potentially covering the entire Gulf 
of Guinea region. 

For  its  sea  and  river  shipment  requirements,  TOTAL  only  charters 
ships and barges that meet the highest international standards. The 
Group has an internal policy that lays down the process and criteria 
by  which  ships  and  barges  are  selected  (known  as  vetting).  These 
criteria are based, in particular, on the regulations, best practice and 
recommendations of the OCIMF (1) and, in Europe, on the European 
Barge Inspection Scheme (EBIS). Tankers and barges are vetted by 
a  single  centralized  Group  entity.  The  average  age  of  the  Group 
Shipping division’s time- chartered fleet is approximately six years. 

With regard to operated marine terminals, the Group got involved in 
an  initiative  that  seeks  to  systematically  record  their  physical 
characteristics  and  store  this  data  in  a  global  database  that  forms 
part of the Marine Terminal Information System (MTIS) of the OCIMF. 
At  the  end  of  2018,  95%  of  coastal  marine  terminals  and  50%  of 
offshore terminals had submitted their characteristics, thereby making 
it  easier  to  assess  the  compatibility  of  ships  with  the  ports  of  call. 
Additionally, since 2018, large TOTAL terminals have used the Marine 
Terminal  Management  Self  Assessment  (MTMSA),  the  framework 
recommended  by  the  industry  for  the  self-assessment  of  terminals 
and the continuous improvement of the safety of product transfers. 
A training course on ship/shore interface management (SSSCL – Ship 
Shore Safety Check List) and cargo transfer operations, developed 
by  the  Group  in  2016,  had  completed  by  operators  of  80%  of 
operated- terminals by the end of 2018. 

(1) OCIMF (Oil Companies International Marine Forum): An industry forum including the leading worldwide oil companies. This organization manages, in particular, the Ship Inspection Report 

(SIRE) Programme, which holds and provides access to tanker and river barge inspection reports (Barge inspection Questionnaire  – BIQ).

5.5.3  Limiting the environmental footprint 

NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 

Environmental challenges  5 

Wherever TOTAL conducts its business, it makes sure that it complies 
with applicable laws and regulations, which the Group complements 
with specific requirements and commitments when necessary. TOTAL 
implements  an  active  policy  of  avoiding,  reducing,  managing  and 
monitoring  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 into the atmosphere from 
combustion  plants  and  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. After analyses have been conducted and when 
necessary, the sites introduce various reduction systems that include 
organizational measures (such as using predictive models to control 
peaks  in  sulfur  dioxide  (SO2)  emissions  based  on  weather  forecast 
data and the improvement of combustion processes management, 
etc.)  and  technical  measures  (wastewater  treatment  plants,  using 
low NOX  burners and electrostatic scrubbers, etc.). 

For new facilities developed by the Group, impact assessments are 
systematically  carried  out  on  these  emissions  and,  if  necessary, 
actions are taken to limit their impact. 

In 2018, the percentage of sites conforming to the targets for quality 
of offshore discharges decreased due to a site, aquired as part of the 
Mærsk Oil acquisition that exceed the target of the Group. The water 
discharge from this site is minor in terms of volume and represents 
less than 3% of the Group’s global offshore discharge. 

The improvement in the quality of onshore water discharges in 2018 
is linked to a better performance of the waste water treatment plants 
at Anvers, Donges and Normandie Refineries and to the expiry of the 
Mahakam license in Indonesia. 

Soil 

The risks of soil pollution related to TOTAL’s operations come mainly 
from accidental spills (refer to point 5.5.2 of this chapter) and waste 
storage (refer to point 5.5.5 of this chapter). 

The  Group’s  approach  to  preventing  and  managing  these  types  of 
pollution is based on four key principles: 

—  preventing  leaks,  by  implementing,  as  far  as  possible,  industry 

best practices in engineering, operations and transport; 

—  carrying out maintenance at appropriate frequency to minimize 

the risk of leaks; 

—  overall  monitoring  of  the  environment  to  identify  any  soil  and 

groundwater pollution; and 

In 2010, SO2  emissions were 99 kt. The Group set itself the target of 
not exceeding 49.5 kt by 2020; it has met this target since 2017. 

—  managing  any  pollution  from  previous  activities  by  means  of 

containment and reduction or elimination operations.

(a)  Refer to point 5.1 of this chapter for the scope of reporting. 

SO2 emissions that are likely to cause acid rain are regularly checked 
and reduced. 

NOX  emissions, which are mainly concentrated in the Exploration & 
Production,  are  primarily  located  offshore  and  far  away  from  the

Discharged water quality 

In 2018, with regards to discharges to aquatic environments, all of 
the  operated  sites  met  the  onshore  discharge  quality  target  set  to 
restrict the impact on receiving environments.

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

—  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 

—  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 operated by Group entities 
or affiliates (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 created a policy of evaluation, treatment 
of  environmental  risks  related  to  soil  and  groundwater  and 
remediation of its sites at the end of their activity. In agreement with 
the authorities, the aim is to allow new operations to be set up once 
the  future  use  of  the  land  has  been  determined.  Remediation 
operations  are  conducted  by  specialized  entities  created  by  the 
Group. At the end of 2018, 123 industrial sites that were no longer in 
operation  (excluding  service  stations)  were  in  the  process  of 
remediation.

Environmental challenges 

Sustainable use of resources 

Fresh water 

The Group’s activities, mainly those of Refining & Chemicals, and to 
a  lesser  extent  those  of  the  Exploration  &  Production,  Gas, 
Renewables & Power segments, may potentially have an impact on, 
as well as be dependent of, water resources. This is especially true 
when an activity is located in a water resources sensitive environment. 

Fully  aware  of  these  challenges,  TOTAL  implements  the  following 
water risk management actions: 

1.  monitor water withdrawals to identify priority sensitive sites and 

then carry out a risk assessment; 

2. 

improve  the  water  resources  management  depending  on 
identified  needs,  by  adapting  the  priority  sites’  environmental 
management system. 

In order to identify the priority facilities, TOTAL records the withdrawal 
and discharge of water on all of its sites and assesses these volumes 
on the basis of the current and future water stress indicators of the 
WRI (1)  Aqueduct  tool  (currently  9.7% (2)  of  fresh  water  withdrawals 
take place in a global water stress area). 

In  addition,  TOTAL  assesses  water  resources  risk  levels  of  priority 
facilities  which  are  those  that  withdraw  more  than  500,000  m³  per 
year and are located in areas potentially exposed to water resource 
risks, using the Local Water Tool (LWT) for Oil & Gas from the Global 
Environmental Management Initiative (GEMI). This tool also helps to 
guide the actions taken to mitigate any risks in order to make optimal 
use of water resources on these sites. 

Globally, the sites operated by the Group are not particularly exposed 
to water risk. By the end of 2018, out of the 24 priority sites identified, 
the  level  of  water  risk  was  assessed  on  16  priority  Group  sites 
(11  Refining  &  Chemicals,  3  Exploration  &  Production,  2  Gas, 

Renewables  &  Power).  Following  this  assessment,  two  sites  were 
identified as being at risk and were reported to the CDP. This analysis 
process  is  expected  to  be  extended  to  other  current  priority  sites, 
including eight additional sites that have been identified. 

In  2018,  the  Group  answered  the  CDP  Water  survey  for  the  2017 
period and was graded A-. The main indicator used in this reporting 
is aggregated withdrawal.

Soil 

TOTAL  uses  the  ground  surface  that  it  needs  to  safely  conduct  its 
industrial  operations  and,  in  2018,  did  not  make  extensive  use  of 
ground surfaces that could substantially conflict with various natural 
ecosystems or agriculture. 

In  2018,  the  Group  introduced  a  specific  selection  process 
concerning palm oil suppliers to ensure all palm oil purchases for the 
La  Mède  facility  will  be  certified  sustainable  in  accordance  with 
European  Union  criteria  (ISCC  EU  certification)  and  are  conducted 
with a limited number of suppliers. This certification imposes criteria 
of  sustainability  and  traceability  of  the  oils  (carbon  footprint, 
non-deforestation, proper soil use, respect for Human Rights) used 
specifically for sustainable biofuels. Those criteria apply to the entire 
production and distribution chain of the sustainable biofuels and are 
regularly updated. To be certified, sustainable biofuels must lead to a 
GHG  emissions  reduction  from  well  to  wheel  of  minimum  50% 
compared to fossil fuels. As at December 31, 2018, supplies of palm 
oil to La Mède had not yet begun. 

5.5.4  Not to harm biodiversity and ecosystems during projects and operations 

TOTAL’s  activities  may  potentially  be  located  in  sensitive  natural 
environments. 

The Group is fully aware of this challenge and takes biodiversity and 
ecosystems  into  account  during  its  projects  and  operations.  In 
July 2018, and within the framework of the Act4Nature initiative, the 
Group made 16 biodiversity commitments to make this policy more 
tangible.  The  16  commitments  are  described  in  the  biodiversity 

brochure available on the website sustainable- performance.total.com. 
There are 10 general commitments common to all of the signatory 
companies  and  an  additional  6  commitments  specific  to  TOTAL, 
some  of  which  existed  before  the  initiative.  These  differentiate  the 
Group from its competitors. 

The commitments are currently being implemented. A review of the 
actions that have already been performed is provided below.

Achievements 

The  Group  extended  its  commitment  not  to  engage  in  oil  and  gas 
exploration or extraction operations at natural sites included on the 
UNESCO World Heritage List of December 31, 2017. 

This  commitment  is  respected.  In  the  Democratic  Republic  of  the 
Congo,  where  TOTAL  made  the  commitment  not  to  carry  out  any 
exploration  activity  in  the  Virunga  National  Park,  partly  located  in 
Block III of the Graben Albertine. TOTAL is no longer present in this 
license since January 2019. 

Commitment No. 2 

TOTAL  does  not  conduct  any  oil  exploration  activities  in  oil  fields 
under sea ice in the Arctic.

A biodiversity action plan has been developed for operated production 
sites located in the most sensitive protected areas, corresponding to 
the UICN I to IV or Ramsar categories. Consequently, the biodiversity 
action plan developed in 2015 for Djeno in the Republic of the Congo 
is still being implemented, particularly with regards to the ecosystem 
services  of  Lagune  de  la  Loubie.  Other  action  plans  shall  be 
implemented in the short term in Italy (Tempa Rossa project) or the 
medium  term,  for  example,  in  Uganda  (Tilenga  project),  Tanzania 
(EACOP project) and Papua New Guinea (Papua LNG project). 

For more information on the preservation and restoration of forests, 
refer  to  point  5.9.3  of  this  chapter,  which  presents  the  Total 
Foundation  program,  for  which  the   Fondation  d’entreprise  Total  in 
France is primarily responsible. 

In order to share the data collected by the Group during its baseline 
studies,  a  cooperation  program  with  Oxford  University  (Long  Term 
Ecology  Laboratory),  in  partnership  with  Equinor,  was  launched  in 
2018 to develop a marine biodiversity sensitivity screening tool called 
LEFT Marine (Local Ecological Footprint Tool); this tool shall be made 
available to the public so that it can be used by third parties. 

In  order  to  raise  awareness  of  biodiversity  among  employees,  the 
Group’s  environmental  communication  plan  comprises  a  series  of 
actions  that  are  aimed  at  employees  at  its  head- office,  office  and 
sites, and across all segments. In 2018, a brochure on the subject of 
biodiversity, which presented the new Act4Nature commitments and 
the Group’s biodiversity actions, was released and explained through 
a biodiversity MOOC (massive open on- line course) on the Group’s 
intranet.

5.5.5  Promoting a better use of natural resources 
by supporting the circular economy 

Between  2017  and  2020,  TOTAL  is  rolling  out  a  range  of 
actions that form part of the circular economy and are based 
on five commitments to different areas of the circular economy: 

With regards to food waste and food poverty, the Group’s activities 
pertaining to food distribution are minor and are therefore not directly 
affected by these issues. 

—  limit the production of waste and favor its valorization, 

Waste prevention and management 

—  develop polymers that contain up to 50% recycled plastic, 

—  install solar panels on 5,000 service stations, 

—  improve by an average of 1% per year the energy efficiency 

of the Group’s operated industrial facilities, 

—  incorporate a criterion dedicated to the circular economy 

into the Company’s purchases. 

What has been accomplished: 

—  with  regards  to  the  valorization  of  waste,  the  target  has 

been met, 

—  conclusive  industrial  tests  have  been  carried  out  on  the 
three  main  types  of  polymer  (polyethylene,  polypropylene 
and polystyrene), 

—  by  the  end  of  2018,  solar  panels  had  been  installed  on 

880 service stations, 

—  for  information  on  energy  efficiency,  refer  to  points  5.6.2 

and 5.6.4 of this chapter. 

Regarding waste in particular, a Group directive lays down a number 
of  minimum  waste- management  requirements,  which  limit  the 
potential risks associated with the improper management of waste. 
Waste  management  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. 

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

—  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;

Climate change-related challenges 

—  recycling residual waste; and 

—  recovering energy, wherever possible, from non- recycled products. 

TOTAL  deploys  programs  on  its  operated  sites  to  valorize  (sorting 
and energy valorization) the majority of the Group’s waste. In 2018, 
the  Group  processed  573  kt  of  waste  (all  modes  of  management 
combined).  In  the  end,  the  Group’s  target  of  recovering  more  than 
50% of its waste is achieved:

Since 2017, all the Refining & Chemicals segment’s plastic production 
sites worldwide are participating in the CleanSweep® program, which 
aims  to  achieve  zero  loss  of  plastic  pellets  in  handling  operations. 
CleanSweep®  is an international program that aims to avoid losses 
of  plastic  pellets  during  handling  operations  by  the  players  in  the 
plastics industry, so that they are not disseminated into the aquatic 
environment. 

At end of 2018, the program has been deployed at all polymer sites 
in the Refining & Chemicals segment.

this chapter for the scope of reporting. 

5.6  Climate change- related challenges 

TOTAL’s  ambition  is  to  become  the  responsible  energy  major.  The 
Group is committed to contributing to the United Nations Sustainable 
Development Goals, particularly with regards to those subjects that 
are  connected  to  climate  change  and  the  development  of  more 
available and cleaner energy for as many people as possible. 

In  order  to  make  an  effective  contribution  to  the  climate  change 
issue,  TOTAL  relies  on  an  organization  and  structured  governance 
framework to make sure climate- related challenges are fully integrated 
into  the  Group’s  strategy.  Consequently,  the  Group  has  a  robust 
strategy and implements a structured risk management system. 

In line with the multiple situations encountered in the field, and while 
supporting the Group’s governance bodies, the Strategy and Climate 
division  shapes  the  Group’s  approach  to  climate  change  while 
working  with  the  operational  divisions  of  the  Group’s  business 
segments. By monitoring indicators, progress can be measured and 
the Group’s actions can be adjusted. 

The  Group  has  therefore  identified  its  main  climate   change 
challenges: 

—  reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of its operated oil & 

gas activities including methane emissions; 

—  implement  a  strategy  allowing  to  reduce  the  carbon 
intensity of the energy products used by its customers; 

—  identify and support technologies and initiatives that helps 

respond to the challenge of climate change. 

5.6.1  Governance 

TOTAL has an organization and structured governance framework to 
make  sure  climate- related  challenges  are  fully  integrated  into  the 
Group’s strategy. Since September 2016, its organization includes a 
Strategy- Innovation  corporate  division,  which  includes  the  Strategy 
& Climate division as well as the Gas, Renewables & Power business 
segment, whose President is a member of the Executive Committee. 

Oversight by the Board of Directors 

TOTAL’s  Board  of  Directors  ensures  that  climate-related  issues  are 
incorporated into the Group’s strategy and examines climate change 
risks and opportunities during the annual strategic outlook review of 
the Group’s business segments. 

To carry out its work, the Board of Directors relies on its Strategic & 
CSR  Committee,  whose  rules  of  procedure  were  changed  in 
September 2017 then in July 2018 in order to broaden its missions 
in  the  realm  of  CSR  and  in  questions  relating  to  the  inclusion  of 
climate- related issues in the Group’s strategy.

He  relies  on  the  President,  Group  Strategy- Innovation,  who  is  a 
member  of  the  Executive  Committee,  to  whom  the  Senior  Vice 
President Strategy & Climate, and the Senior Vice President Climate 
report (refer to the Group organization chart in chapter 1). The Senior 
Vice President Climate chairs the Climate- Energy steering Committee, 
which  mainly  includes  representatives  of  Strategy  and  HSE 
management  from  the  various  business  segments.  The  mission  of 
this Committee consists of structuring the Group’s approach to the 
climate, and in particular to: 

—  propose  GHG  emission  reduction  targets  for  the  Group’s 

operated oil & gas facilities; 

—  propose a strategy to reduce the carbon intensity of the energy 

products used by the Group’s customers; 

—  monitor the existing or emerging CO2  markets; and 

—  drive new-technology initiatives and projects that can reduce CO2 
emissions  (energy  efficiency,  CO2  capture  and  storage,  for 
example). 

Aware of the importance of climate  change challenges faced by the 
Group, the Board of Directors decided, in 2016, to introduce changes 
to  the variable compensation of  the Chairman and Chief  Executive 
Officer  to  take  better  account  of  the  achievements  of  Corporate 
Social Responsibility (CSR) and the Group’s HSE targets. For fiscal 
year 2018, the importance given to these criteria rose further: CSR 
performance is assessed by considering the extent to which climate 
issues are included in the Group’s strategy, the Group’s reputation in 
the domain of Corporate Social Responsibility as well as the policy 
concerning all aspects of diversity. 

The Board of Directors meeting of March 13, 2019 decided to change 
the  criteria  for  the  determination  of  the  variable  portion  of  the 
Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer’s  compensation  for  the  year 
2019. Among others, a quantifiable criteria related to the evolution of 
GHG emissions (Scopes 1 & 2) on operated oil & gas facilities (refer 
to chapter 4, section 4.3.2 for details). 

Role of management 

TOTAL’s  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer,  in  compliance  with 
the  long- term  strategic  direction  set  by  the  Board  of  Directors, 
implements  the  strategy  of  the  Group  and  its  business  segments 
while making sure climate change challenges are taken into account. 

5.6.2  Strategy

Identification of climate- related risks and opportunities 

Impact of climate- related risks and opportunities 

The risks and opportunities related to climate change are analyzed 
according  to  different  timescales:  short  term  (until  2020),  medium 
term (until 2030) and long term (beyond 2030). 

The identification of climate- related risks forms an integral part of the 
analysis  of  investment  projects.  The  impact  of  these  risks  is  also 
examined for the Group asset portfolio as a whole. These risks are 
presented in detail in point 3.1.2 of chapter 3. 

Climate  change  also  provides  TOTAL  with  opportunities.  In  the 
coming  decades,  demand  for  electricity  will  grow  faster  than  the 
global  demand  for  energy,  and  the  contribution  of  renewables  and 
gas  to  the  production  of  electricity  shall  therefore  play  an  essential 
role in the fight against climate change. Electricity alone will not be 
sufficient to meet all needs, particularly those connected to transport. 
Gas  and  sustainable  biofuels  will  be  attractive  and  credible 
alternatives to conventional fuels and the Group intends to develop 
them. 

Climate  change  is  at  the  heart  of  the  Company’s  strategic  vision. 
TOTAL  positions  itself  on  high-growth  low- carbon  markets  and 
intends to offer customers an energy mix with a carbon intensity that 
shall gradually decrease. To accompany these changes, TOTAL has 
introduced a carbon intensity indicator for the energy products used 
by  its  customers.  This  indicator  is  described  in  point  5.6.4  of  this 
chapter. 

TOTAL has five major levers to structure its approach. 

1) Improving energy efficiency 

Optimizing the energy consumption of its operated facilities is TOTAL’s 
first lever to reduce emissions. The Group therefore aims to improve 
the  energy  efficiency  of  its  operated  facilities  by  an  average  of  1% 
per year over the 2010- 2020 period, at a time when exploration is 
becoming increasingly complex. This indicator is described in point 
5.6.4 of this chapter. 

Certain sectors, particularly the cement industry and the steel sector, 
could  struggle  to  reduce  their  GHG  emissions.  They  will  therefore 
require  CO2  capture,  use  and  storage  technology 
(CCUS). 
Consequently,  the  Group  intends  to  step  up  the  development  of 
CCUS to respond to these new needs. 

TOTAL uses appropriate architectures and equipment and introduces 
technological  innovations.  For  example,  on  offshore  production 
barges,  offshore  platforms  and  onshore  facilities,  heat  recovery 
systems  at  gas  turbine  exhausts  have  been  implemented  thereby 
avoiding the need for furnaces or boiler systems. 

Helping  customers  to  reduce  their  energy  consumption  and 
environmental  impact  also  offers  opportunities  and  forms  part  of  a 
trend that will be accelerated by digital technology. TOTAL intends to 
innovate in order to provide them with new product and service offers 
that will support their energy options and their usages. The promotion 
of hybrid solutions combining hydrocarbons and renewables is part 
of this approach. Similarly, services can be offered to optimize energy 
for  industrial  sites.  The  Group  aims  to  develop  this  approach  for 
industrial and mobility applications. 

TOTAL also offers customers an energy efficiency consultancy service 
so that they can optimize their own energy consumption and reduce 
their GHG emissions. The recent acquisition of GreenFlex forms part 
of this initiative. By providing consultancy (strategic and operational), 
data intelligence (digital platforms) and financing services, GreenFlex 
helps companies and regions improve their energy and environmental 
performance.  The  Company’s  areas  of  expertise  are  varied  and 
include,  for  example,  the  improvement  and  management  of  the 
energy performance of buildings, equipment, utilities and processes, 
sustainable mobility, flexible electricity consumption, renewables and 
positive- energy  buildings.  More  than  700  companies  have  already 
been supported by GreenFlex.

Climate change-related challenges 

Finally,  in  2017,  TOTAL  signed  an  agreement  with  Fondation 
GoodPlanet, chaired by Yann Arthus- Bertrand, for the implementation 
of  a  program  to  neutralize  the  carbon  emissions  from  air  travel  by 
Group employees over a 10- year period. This project is expected to 
avoid the emission of 50,000 t of CO2  into the atmosphere per year. 
It will entail the creation and operation of 8,400 biodigesters in India. 

2) Growing in natural gas 

To  respond  responsibly  to  the  strong  rise  in  demand  for  electricity, 
TOTAL  remains  committed  to  gas,  whose  CO2  emissions  are  half 
those of coal when used to generate electricity (1). 

The  Group  wishes  to  be  present  throughout  the  whole  gas  chain, 
from production to end customer. Significant operations have taken 
place  in  the  upstream  and  the  downstream  to  make  this  possible. 
Upstream,  TOTAL  has  acquired  a  stake  in  the  giant  Yamal  LNG 
project in the north of Russia. The Group has also acquired the LNG 
assets  of  Engie.  These  two  complementary  portfolios  allow  for  the 
management  of  a  volume  of  nearly  40  Mt  of  LNG  as  from  2020. 
Downstream,  the  Group  has  made  strategic  acquisitions,  such  as 
Direct  Énergie  and  Lampiris,  gas  and  electricity  suppliers  on  the 
French and Belgian markets, and has developed Total Spring, which 
was launched in 2017 on the French market. 

Finally,  TOTAL  has  committed  itself  to  gas  fuel  for  transport  by 
acquiring  a  25%  stake  in  Clean  Energy  Fuels  Corp.,  one  of  the 
leading distributors of gas fuel for HGVs in the United States, and by 
signing  a  contract  with  CMA - CGM,  the  first  shipping  company  to 
equip its transcontinental container ships with LNG- powered engines. 

Strengthening the position of gas in the energy mix must however be 
accompanied by a greater focus on control of methane emissions. 
To preserve the advantage that gas offers in terms of GHG emissions 
compared to coal for electricity generation, it is necessary to strictly 
reduce the methane emissions associated with the production and 
transportation of gas. In 2018, TOTAL’s methane emissions are kept 
below 0.25% of the commercial gas produced (2). TOTAL’s target is 
to  sustainably  reduce  the  intensity  of  its  methane  emissions  of  its 
operated  facilities  in  the  Exploration  &  Production  segment  to  less 
than 0.20% of commercial gas produced by 2025. 

The  Group  has  been  a  member  since  2014  of  the  partnership 
between governments and industrial companies for the improvement 
of  tools  to  measure  and  control  methane  emissions  set  up  by  the 
Climate  and  Clean  Air  Coalition  and  promoted  by  UN  Environment 
and  the  non- profit  organization  Environmental  Defense  Fund.  The 
Group  also  took  several  actions  as  part  of  the  Oil  &  Gas  Climate 
Initiative  and  signed  the  guiding  principles  on  the  reduction  of 
methane emissions on the gas value chain (3). 

3) Developing a profitable low- carbon electricity 

business 

TOTAL  is  developing  along  the  whole  of  the  low- carbon  electricity 
value chain, from electricity generation, storage and sale to the end 
customer. As demand for electricity is expected to grow strongly in 
the  coming  decades,  TOTAL  intends  to  become  a  major  player  in 
this  segment.  To  meet  this  target,  TOTAL  plans  to  invest  $1.5  to 
$2 billion per year. In 2018, the Group completed the acquisition of 
Direct Énergie, a French electricity supplier, for nearly €2 billion. With 
regards  to  the  generation  of  electricity,  TOTAL  aims  at  holding  a 
production capacity of 10 GW of low- carbon electricity by 2023. In 
2018, TOTAL acquired four combined- cycle natural gas power plants 
in  France  with  a  global  capacity  of  1.6  GW.  Refer  to  chapter  2  for 
further information on recent acquisitions. 

4) Developing sustainable biofuels 

A pioneer in biofuels for more than 20 years, TOTAL is now one of 
Europe’s major actors with 2.4 Mt blended sustainable biofuels (4)  in 
2018 for a worldwide distribution of 3.2 Mt. 

Furthermore,  TOTAL  produced  0.1  Mt  of  sustainable  biofuels  in  its 
refineries in 2018. Production at La Mède factory, scheduled to start 
in 2019, with a capacity of 0.5 Mt per year of hydrotreated vegetable 
oil (HVO) based on sustainable certified charges. The Group intends 
to reach a market share of over 10% in Europe in HVO production. 
Biofuels that are currently available are mainly made with vegetable 
oil and sugar. 

For  more  than  10  years,  TOTAL’s  R&D  teams  have  developed 
technologies that have broadened the range of usable resources, while 
also meeting the need for sustainability. The consortium BioTFuel is 
working  on,  for  example,  the  development  of  lignocellulose  (plant 
waste). 

5) Investing in carbon sink businesses 

Carbon storage is key to achieving carbon neutrality in the second 
half  of  the  21st  century.  TOTAL  is  focusing,  on  the  one  hand,  on 
developing CCUS and, on the other, on preserving and restoring the 
capacity  of  ecosystems  to  act  as  carbon  sinks.  CCUS  is  vital  for 
several industries, especially those that emit massive amounts of CO2 
due  to  the  nature  of  their  business  (cement,  steel,  etc.).  TOTAL 
allocates significant resources to this area by dedicating up to 10% 
of  the  Group’s  R&D  budget  to  it.  Several  projects  have  made 
substantial progress in recent months. Northern Lights (Norway) is a 
project in which the Group participates alongside Equinor and Shell. 
TOTAL is also a partner of the Clean Gas Project (UK), together with 
the OGCI’s investment fund and a few companies of the sector (5). 

TOTAL  announced  in  February  2019  the  creation  of  an  entity 
dedicated  to  investments  in  natural  carbon  sinks,  composed  of 
experts  in  environment  and  agronomy,  with  an  investment  budget 
$100  million  per  year  from  2020  onwards.  Furthermore,  actions  of 
preservation  and  restoration  of  the  forest  are  currently  conducted 
(refer to point 5.9 of this chapter which presents the Total Foundation 
program carried mainly by the Fondation d’entreprise Total). 

Sector initiatives and international framework 

TOTAL  is  also  committed  to  various  sector  initiatives  on  the  main 
challenges raised by climate change. Indeed, tackling climate change 
requires cooperation between all actors, from both public and private 
sectors. 

Thus,  TOTAL  joined,  in  2014,  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.  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, while ensuring fair treatment of “sectors 
exposed  to  carbon  leakage”  (as  defined  by  the  EU).  In  addition, 
TOTAL is working with the World Bank as part of the Carbon Pricing 
Leadership  Coalition  (CPLC).  In  June  2017,  TOTAL  became  a 
founding member of the Climate Leadership Council, an initiative that 
calls  for  the  introduction  of  a  “carbon  dividend”,  namely  a 
redistribution  mechanism  that  would  tax  the  biggest  fossil  fuel 
consumers  (the  population’s  wealthiest  citizens)  in  order  to  pay  a 
dividend to the entire population.

In  2014,  TOTAL  was  actively  involved  in  launching  and  developing 
the Oil & Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI), a global industry partnership. 
At year- end 2018, this initiative involved 13 major international energy 
players.  Its  purpose  is  to  develop  solutions  for  a  sustainable  low 
emissions future. Launched in 2017, the OGCI Climate Investments 
fund, which has access to over $1 billion over 10 years, invests in 
technology  that  significantly  cuts  emissions.  The  fund’s  initial 
investments  notably  are:  a  large- scale  industrial  CO2  capture  and 
storage  project  (Clean  Gas  Project);  a  solution  that  reduces  the 
carbon  footprint  of  cement  by  using  CO2  instead  of  water  to  set 
concrete  (Solidia  Technologies);  a  high- efficiency  opposed- piston 
engine  that  reduces  GHG  emissions  (Achates  Power)  and  a 
technology that incorporates CO2 as a raw material in the production 
of polyols used in polyurethanes, which are plastics that have multiple 
uses (Econic Technologies). 

The  Group  also  plays  a  role  in  various  international  initiatives  that 
involve  the  private  and  the  public  sectors  to  bring  about 
(non- exhaustive list): 

—  carbon pricing within Caring for Climate – United Nations Global 

Compact, and the Paying for Carbon call; 

—  the  end  of  routine  flaring  of  gas  associated  to  oil  production 
within the World Bank’s Zero Routine Flaring by 2030 initiative; 

—  greater 

transparency,  while

recommendations of the G20 Financial Stability Board on climate, 
and  of  the  Task  Force  on  Climate- related  Financial  Disclosures 
(TCFD); and

the  Breakthrough  Energy  Ventures,  a  $1  billion  fund  created  in 
2016 by the BEC.

TOTAL  also  actively  participates  in  the  debate  on  climate  issues, 
thanks especially to its long- term partnerships with university chairs, 
such as the Climate Economics Chair at Paris- Dauphine University, 
the climate change research program of Massachusetts Institute of 
Technology  (MIT) (1),  and  Toulouse  School  of  Economics.  Lastly, 
TOTAL offers training and makes presentations at several universities, 
thereby taking part in the debate. 

Resilience of the organization’s strategy 

In order to ensure the viability of its projects and long-term strategy 
in  light  of  the  challenges  raised  by  climate  change,  the  Group 
integrates, into the financial evaluation of investments presented to 
the  Executive  Committee,  either  a  long- term  CO2  price  of  $30  to 
$40  per  ton  (depending  on  the  price  of  crude),  or  the  actual  price 
of CO2  in a given country if higher. 

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  projects,  as  well  as  the 
economic value of certain of the Group’s assets. 

The Group performs sensitivity tests to assess the ability of its asset 
portfolio to withstand an increase in the price per ton of CO2. These 
studies show that a long- term CO2 price of $40/t (2) applied worldwide 
would  have  a  negative  impact  of  around  5%  on  the  discounted 
present value of the Group’s assets (upstream and downstream). In 
addition, the average reserve life of the Group’s proved and probable 
reserves  is  approximately  20  years  and  the  discounted  value  of 
proved  and  probable  reserves  beyond  these  20  years  is  less  than 
10% of the discounted value of the Group’s upstream assets. 

As part of the annual preparation of its long- term plan, TOTAL makes 
long- term  energy  demand  forecasts  (oil,  gas  and  electricity).  The 
Group  presented  in  February  2019  these  forecasts  (Total  Energy 
Outlook), available on total.com.

Processes to identify and assess risks related to climate change 

Climate- related risks form part of the major risks that are identified 
and analyzed by the Group Risk Management Committee. The latter 
therefore has a map of the climate- related risks to which the Group 
is exposed. 

In  addition,  the  Risk  Committee  (CORISK)  assesses  investment 
projects, risks and corresponding climate- related issues (flaring, GHG 
emissions, sensitivity to CO2  prices) before they are presented to the 
Executive Committee. 

Processes to manage risks related to climate change 

In  its  decision- making  process,  the  risks  and  associated  climate 
issues are assessed prior to the presentation of the projects to the 
Executive Committee. if the level of risk requires it, they are subject 
to mitigation measures. 

With regard to risks related to climate issues, TOTAL, in accordance 
with its Safety Health Environment Quality Charter, is committed to 
managing  its  energy  consumption  and  develops  processes  to 
improve its energy performance and that of its customers. 

The Group also ensures that it assesses the vulnerability of its facilities 
to  climate  hazards  so  that  the  consequences  do  not  affect  the 
integrity of the facilities, or the safety of people. More generally, natural 
hazards (climate- related risks as well as seismic, tsunami, soil strength 
and other risks) are taken into account in the construction of industrial 
facilities, which are designed to withstand both normal and extreme 
conditions.  The  Group  carries  out  a  systematic  assessment  of  the 
possible repercussions of climate change on its future projects. These 
analyses  include  a  review  by  type  of  risk  (e.g.,  sea  level,  storms, 
temperature,  permafrost)  and  take  into  account  the  lifespan  of  the 
projects and their capacity to gradually adapt. These internal studies 
have  not  identified  any  facilities  that  cannot  withstand  the 
consequences of climate change known today. 

Integration of climate- related risks into global risk management 

The  risks  related  to  climate  issues  are  fully  integrated  in  TOTAL’s 
global risk management processes. 

The Audit Committee takes part in the annual review of the results of 
the climatic and environmental reporting process. In addition, these 
results are audited by an independent third party.

5.6.4  Targets and metrics to measure climate- related risks 

and opportunities 

TOTAL has set itself targets and introduced a number of indicators to coordinate its performance. 

The Group’s climate targets: 

What has been accomplished: 

—  an  80%  reduction  of  routine  flaring (1)  on  operated  facilities 
between 2010 and 2020 in order to eliminate it by 2030, 

—  more  than  80%  reduction  in  routine  flaring  between  2010 

and 2018; 

—  an average 1% improvement per year in the energy efficiency 

—  more  than  10%  improvement  in  energy  efficiency  between 

of operated facilities between 2010 and 2020, 

2010 and 2018; 

—  a  sustainable  reduction  in  the  intensity  of  the  methane 
emissions of the Exploration & Production segment’s operated 
facilities to less than 0.20% of the commercial gas produced, 
by 2025. 

—  a GHG emission reduction (Scopes 1 & 2) on operated oil & 
gas facilities of 46 Mt CO2e in 2015 to less than 40 Mt CO2e 
in 2025. 

—  an  intensity  of  the  methane  emissions  below  0.25%  of  the 

commercial gas produced in 2018; 

—  a GHG emission reduction (Scopes 1 & 2) on operated oil & 
gas facilities from 46 Mt CO2e to 42 Mt CO2e between 2015 
and 2018. 

The  Group  also  intends  to  reduce  the  carbon  intensity  of  energy 
products used by its customers by 15% between 2015, the date of 
the Paris Agreement, and 2030. This carbon intensity was reduced 

from 75 g CO2/kBtu in 2015 to 71 g CO2/kBtu in 2018, a reduction of 
more than 5%.

All  this  data  as  well  as  the  related  risks  are  also  reported  to

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  1,75  Mt  CO2e 
in 2018. 

Flaring 

GHG emissions 

Reducing routine flaring has been a long- standing target of the Group, 
which  designs  its  new  projects  without  resorting  to  it.  In  addition, 
TOTAL is committed to putting an end to routine flaring of its operated 
facilities  by  2030.  An  80%  reduction  target  was  set  for  2020 
compared to 2010, in other words, an average of 1.5 Mm3/d. This 
target has been met since 2017. 

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

The  increase  in  flaring  linked  to  oil  production  in  2018  is  due  to 
acquisition and startup of new sites. 

Energy efficiency 

One of the Group’s performance targets is to better control energy 
consumption.  Since  the  beginning  of  2013,  a  Group  directive  has 
defined  the  requirements  to  be  met  at  operated  sites  using  more 
than  50,000  tons  of  oil  equivalent  per  year  of  primary  energy 
(approximately 40 sites). At end 2018, all the concerned sites reported 
compliance or had taken steps to comply with this directive. The aim 
is  to  ensure  that  100%  sites  using  more  than  50,000  tons  of  oil 
equivalent  per  year  by  the  end  of  2020  have  an  auditable  energy 
management  system,  such  as 
ISO  50001  on  energy 
management(1). A certain number of sites that use less than 50,000 
tons  of  oil  equivalent  per  year  have,  voluntarily,  taken  measures  to 
become ISO 50001 certified. 

the 

Energy  efficiency  is  a  key  factor  for  the  improvement  of  economic, 
environmental  and  industrial  performance.  Since  2013,  the  Group 
has  used  a  Group  Energy  Efficiency  Index  (GEEI)  to  assess  its 
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. 

The Group’s target for the 2010- 2020 period is to improve the energy 
efficiency of its operated facilities by an average of 1% per year. By 
design, the base value of the GEEI was defined as 100 in 2010 and 
the target is to reach 90.4 in 2020. This target has been met since 
2017. 

The Group has reduced by 25% the GHG emissions produced by its 
operated activities since 2010. This reduction was reached thanks to 
notably reducing flaring and improving energy efficiency. 

In  February  2019,  TOTAL  announced  a  target  to  reduce  GHG 
emissions  (Scopes  1  &  2)  on  its  operated  oil  &  gas  facilities  from 
46 Mt CO2e to less than 40 Mt CO2e in 2025. 

Carbon intensity indicator of the products 
used by its customers 

TOTAL wishes to fully address the issue regarding the emissions of 
energy  products  used  by  its  customers  and  therefore  decided  to 
report all of the emissions associated with these products in the form 
of a carbon intensity indicator. 

This  indicator  measures  the  average  GHG  emissions  of  these 
products,  from  production  in  TOTAL  facilities  to  end  use  by 
customers. This indicator takes into account: 

—  for the numerator: 

–  the emissions connected to the production and conversion of 
energy  products  used  by  its  customers  on  the  basis  of  the 
Group’s average emission rates, 

–  the emissions connected to the use of energy products used 
by the customers. For each product, stoichiometric emission 
factors (2)  are  applied  to  these  sales  to  obtain  an  emission 
volume. Non- fuel use products (bitumen, lubricants, plastics, 
etc.) are not taken into account, 

–  negative emissions stored thanks to CCUS and natural carbon 

sinks; 

—  for  the  denominator:  the  quantity  of  energy  sold,  knowing  that 
electricity is placed on an equal footing with fossil fuels by taking 
into account the average capacity factor and average efficiency 
ratio. 

The Group intends to reduce its carbon intensity by 15% between 
2015, the date of the Paris agreement, and 2030. This undertaking 
represents  a  responsible  contribution  by  TOTAL  to  the  Paris 
agreement targets and it also enables the Group to fulfill its mission 
to  supply  to  as  many  people  as  possible  a  more  affordable,  more 
available and cleaner energy. 

Through the “Total Ecosolutions” program, the Group is developing 
innovative  products  and  services  that  perform  above  market 
standards on the environmental front. At year-end 2018, 97 products 
and services bore the “Total Ecosolutions” label. The CO2e emissions 

Additional work on this method, whose main principles have already 
been established, is currently taking place. This work will improve the 
accuracy  of  the  method  used  to  calculate  the  method’s  various 
components. 

5.6.5  TCFD correspondence table 

In  June  2017,  the  TCFD (3)  of  the  G20’s  Financial  Stability  Board 
published  its  final  recommendations  on  information  pertaining  to 
climate  to  be  released  by  companies.  These  recommendations 
include additional details for certain sectors, such as energy. 

TOTAL  publicly  announced  its  support  for  the  TCFD  and  its 
recommendations during the summer of 2017, while noting that it is 
up to companies to define the information about climate- related risks 
and  opportunities  that  are  significant,  which,  consequently,  are 

expected  to  be  disclosed  in  financial  filings,  and  the  additional 
information that they choose to report on a voluntary basis. TOTAL 
also believes that the quantification of impacts of different scenarios 
may not be relevant to investors as assumptions made by different 
companies  may  strongly  diverge.  The  Group  considers  that 
companies  have  a  major  role  to  play  in  shaping  how  these  issues 
evolve and that the modalities of the application of scenarios and the 
use of metrics should be further studied.

5.7  Actions in support of human rights 

NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 

Actions in support of human rights  5 

The main challenges associated with the Group activities and respect 
for human rights are identified using the methodology set out in the 
United  Nations  Guiding  Principles  Reporting  Framework  relating 
to the “salient issues” with regard to human rights, that is to say the 
human rights at risk of the most severe negative impact through the 
Company’s activities or business relationships. 

This  analysis,  as  well  as  the  internal  risk  mapping  activities, 
have led the Group to identify six risks subdivided across three 
key areas: 

—  “Human rights in the workplace” of TOTAL’s employees as 
well as of the employees of its suppliers and other business 
partners: 
–  forced labor and child labor, 
–  discrimination, 
–  just and favorable conditions of work and safety; 

—  “human rights and local communities”: 

–  access to land, 
–  the right to health and an adequate standard of living; 

—  “respect for human rights in security-related activities”: 

–  the risk of misuse of force. 

In 2016, TOTAL published an initial Human Rights Briefing Paper, in 
line with the UN Guiding Principles Reporting Framework, making it 
the first company in the oil and gas industry to do so. An updated 
version  of  this  document  was  published  in  2018  (available  at 
sustainable-performance.total.com). 

The  Forum  of  the  United  Nations  on  Business  and  Human  Rights 
2018  invited  the  Chairman  and  CEO  to  attend  a  panel  of  senior 
business leaders at the opening plenary session on  November 26, 
2018. This opportunity has allowed TOTAL to explain how the Group 
integrates  respect  for  human  rights  into  its  operations  and  value 
chain and how it puts into practice reasonable diligence concerning 
human rights, as well as to remind the challenges that needs to be 
tackled. 

TOTAL’s human rights approach is based on written commitments. 
It is supported by a dedicated organization, and embedded through 
an  awareness- raising  and  training  program,  as  well  as  evaluation 
and follow- up mechanisms aiming at measuring the effectiveness of 
the Group’s actions. 

Written commitments 

TOTAL is committed to respecting internationally recognized human 
rights  wherever  the  Group  operates,  in  particular  the  Universal 
Declaration of Human Rights, the Fundamental Conventions of the 
International  Labor  Organization,  the  UN  Guiding  Principles  on 
Business and Human Rights and the Voluntary Principles on Security 
and Human Rights (VPSHR). 

A dedicated organization 

The Group’s Human Rights Department provides advice and support 
to employees and operational divisions and supervises efforts made 
to promote respect for human rights in close collaboration with the 
Ethics Committee. In particular, it runs a Human Rights Committee 
which coordinates the actions taken internally and externally by the 
various Group entities. 

The Ethics Committee is a central and independent structure where 
sit representatives of all TOTAL’s business segments. Its key role is 
one  of  listener  and  support.  Both  employees  and  external 
stakeholders  can  refer  matters  to  the  Ethics  Committee  by  email 
at  ethics@total.com.  The  Committee  ensures  the  confidentiality  of 
the complaints, which can only be lifted with the agreement of the 
complainant. 

The Human Rights Department and the Ethics Committee rely on a 
network of “ethics officers” in charge of promoting the values set out 
in  the  Code  of  Conduct  among  employees  working  in  the  Group’s 
subsidiaries and ensuring that the Group’s commitments are correctly 
implemented at the local level. 

Awareness- raising and training 

To  ensure  that  employees  understand  the  Group’s  commitments, 
TOTAL raises their awareness via internal communication channels, 
such as its Ethics and Human Rights intranet websites or by means 
of  events  such  as  the  annual  Business  Ethics  Day.  In  2018,  the 
Business  Ethics  Day  was  held  in  December  on  the  day  of  the 
70th  anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 

Since  2011,  the  Group  has  issued  and  made  available  to  its 
employees  and  other  stakeholders  a  Human  Rights  Guide  which 
comes as complement to the Group’s Code of Conduct. It aims to 
raise the Group’s employee’s awareness on issues relating to human 
rights in their industry and provides guidance as to the appropriate 
behavior  to  adopt 
in  their  activities  and  relationships  with 
stakeholders. 

TOTAL  also  organizes  special  trainings  tailored  to  the  challenges 
faced  on  the  field  by  employees  who  are  particularly  exposed  to 
such issues such as human rights training sessions for HSE experts 
and  Community  Liaison  Officers  (CLO)  organized  with  the  Danish 
Institute  for  Human  Rights  (DIHR)  or  sessions  designed  to  raise 
awareness of the Group’s Ethics Officers. Actions intended to raise 
awareness  of  the  Group’s  external  stakeholders,  such  as  specific 
VPSHR trainings for the private security providers, are also organized. 

Assessments 

The practices of the Group’s entities and the risks to which they may 
be exposed are regularly evaluated when it comes to human rights 
issues. The Group works with independent third parties and qualified 
experts to conduct these assessments. 

Since  2002,  the  British  company  GoodCorporation  has  assessed 
the  policies  and  practices  of  more  than  120  entities  with  regard  to 
the principles and values enshrined in the Group’s Code of Conduct. 
During  these  evaluations,  the  working  conditions  in  the  Group’s 
activities and service stations are assessed, among other things. In 
2018, seven entities were assessed. These evaluations help identify 
entities’  best  practices,  share  them  within  the  Group  and  highlight 
areas  for  improvement.  The  Group  uses  these  evaluations  as 
opportunities to encourage its employees to voice their concerns in 
a confidential manner and report behaviors contrary to the Code of 
Conduct.  These  evaluations  confirm  that  the  Code  of  Conduct  is 
well  known  by  the  Group’s  employees.  TOTAL  must  nevertheless 
continue  to  raise  awareness  among  its  commercial  and  industrial 
partners,  in  particular  with  regard  to  respect  for  human  rights  at 
work. The supplier’s qualification and evaluation procedure which is 
being progressively deployed by Total Global Procurement, described 
in  point  5.10  of  this  chapter,  contributes  to  raise  these  partners’ 
awareness.

Actions in support of human rights 

Stand- alone  human  rights  impact  assessments  may  also  be 
conducted  in  addition  to  the  environmental  and  societal  impact 
assessments in high risk areas or conflict zones with the support of 
independent experts such as the Danish Institute for Human Rights, 
a Danish public non-profit organization. In 2017 and 2018, the Danish 
Institute  for  Human  Rights  conducted  two  human  rights  impact 
assessments of our projects in Papua New Guinea and Myanmar. In 
Papua  New  Guinea,  the  assessment  focused  on  equal  treatment 
between  women  and  men,  security  and  conflict.  The 
recommendations  included  in  particular  awareness- raising  of  the 
relevant  stakeholders  to  complaint  mechanisms  and  the  periodic 
measurement of their effectiveness; the organization of trainings on 
the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights (VPSHR) for 
government security forces and private security providers. As a result 
of this study, steps have been taken by the entity to implement these 
recommendations.  Other  non- profit  partner  organizations,  such  as 
the  CDA  Corporate  Engagement  Project,  also  contribute  to  the 
evaluation of the societal impact of the Group’s activities or projects 
on  nearby  local  communities.  It  includes  interviews  with  local 
communities. CDA’s reports are available on their website. 

5.7.1  Human rights in the workplace 

The Group also assesses the practices of its suppliers, including the 
working conditions of their own employees (refer to point 5.10 of this 
chapter). 

Follow- up 

The Group’s approach is integrated within a Human rights roadmap 
endorsed  by  the  Group’s  Executive  Committee  at  regular  intervals. 
The  2017- 2018  roadmap  on  human  rights  focuses  on  three  main 
areas  for  improvement:  integrating  human  rights  considerations  in 
business practices at local level; improving management awareness 
and  accountability  on  human  rights  issues  at  all  levels;  improving 
evaluation  processes  of  at  risk  entities,  the  tools  available  to  them 
and  their  follow- up.  It  includes  an  action  plan  for  relevant  Group’s 
division and business segments. 

The prohibition of forced and child labor, non- discrimination, just and 
favorable  conditions  of  work,  as  well  as  safety  all  form  part  of  the 
principles  set  out  in  TOTAL’s  Code  of  Conduct  and  Human  Rights 
Guide. 

In addition to the Group’s reporting and internal control system, the 
working  conditions  of  TOTAL’s  employees  are  evaluated  by 
GoodCorporation, an independent third party, as part of the ethical 
assessments of the Group’s entities. 

TOTAL’s  commitment  to  human  rights  in  the  workplace  is 
demonstrated, in particular, by the signature of various agreements, 
such as the one concluded with IndustriALL Global Union (1) in 2015. 
In particular, this agreement covers the promotion of human rights in 
the  workplace,  diversity,  the  participation  of  employees  and  their 
representatives in social dialogue and the recognition of health and 
safety  at  work  as  absolute  priorities  in  the  Group’s  activities  and 
global supply chain. 

In its activities 

TOTAL cares about the working conditions of its employees which 
are governed by the Group’s Human Resources policy (refer to point 
5.3 of this chapter). 

Safety is one of the Group’s core values. Over the last few years, the 
Group  has  continued  to  develop  occupational  health  and  safety 
standards focusing on the right to enjoy fair and adequate living and 
working conditions (refer to point 5.4 of this chapter). 

TOTAL is committed to promoting diversity and endeavors to combat 
all forms of discrimination (origin, gender, sexual orientation, handicap, 
age,  membership  in  a  union  or  a  political  or  religious  organization, 
etc.).  The  Diversity  Council,  which  is  chaired  by  a  member  of  the 
Executive Committee, illustrates this commitment. 

In 2017, TOTAL published a “Practical guide to dealing with religious 
questions within the Group” in order to provide practical solutions to 
the  questions  raised  by  the  Group’s  employees  and  managers 
worldwide. It draws on the experiences of the business segments in 
various countries and encourages dialog, respect and listening as a 
way to find solutions suited to the local context. Many internal and 
external experts helped draft this document, including representatives 
of various religious communities. This guide has been translated into 
nine languages. 

In the Group’s value chain 

The  Fundamental  Principles  of  Purchasing  (FPP)  set  out  the 
commitments expected from suppliers in various domains, including 
human rights in the workplace and safety. A Group directive reaffirms 
the obligation to annex the FPP or to transpose them in the selection 
process as well as in the contracts concluded with suppliers of goods 
or services. 

The  prevention  of  forced  and  child  labor  in  the  supply  chain  is  a 
critical  point  of  attention  identified  in  the  2017- 2018  human  rights 
roadmap endorsed by the Executive Committee. TOTAL has therefore 
developed a new methodology for selecting its suppliers which takes 
account the risks of human rights violations, in particular forced and 
child labor. In September 2016, TOTAL also entered into a partnership 
with a third- party service provider in charge of evaluating suppliers’ 
practices with regard to fundamental rights in the workplace (refer to 
point 5.10 of this chapter). 

Finally, the working conditions of the employees of service stations’ 
dealers  are  evaluated  by  GoodCorporation,  an  independent  third 
party,  as  part  of  the  ethical  assessments  conducted  in  the  Group 
entities. Between 2016 and 2017, a baseline study of 22 affiliates in 
the  Marketing  &  Services  segment  across  different  continents  was 
also  conducted.  One  of  the  main  recommendations  identified  is  to 
improve service station dealers’ awareness of the Group’s Code of 
Conduct  principles  and  of  the  fundamental  Conventions  of  the 
International Labor Organization. In response, Marketing & Services 
is developing educational tools, which should be promoted in 2019 
to this business segment’s entities.

5.7.2  Human rights and local communities 

NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 

Actions in support of human rights  5 

TOTAL’s operational activities may have impacts on the rights of local 
communities,  in  particular  when  TOTAL  obtains  temporary  or 
permanent access to their land for Group’s projects that may involve 
the  physical  and/or  economic  displacement  of  these  populations. 
Noise and dust emissions and other potential impacts may also have 
consequences  on  the  livelihood  of  neighboring  communities. 
Consequently, the access to land of local communities and their right 
to health and an adequate standard of living are two salient issues 
for TOTAL. 

In accordance with internationally recognized human rights standards, 
TOTAL requires the Group entities to maintain a regular dialogue with 
their stakeholders and make sure that their activities have no negative 
consequences on local communities or, if these cannot be avoided, 
that they limit, mitigate and remedy them. The solutions proposed in 
response to the expectations of local communities are coordinated 
by the societal teams that work in close collaboration with the legal, 
safety and environmental teams. The Group’s approach to this topic 
is  described  in  the  section  on  societal  issues  in  point  5.9  of  this 
chapter. 

5.7.3  Respect for human rights in security- related activities 

In  certain  situations,  intervention  by  government  security  forces  or 
private security providers might be necessary to protect TOTAL staff 
and  assets.  In  order  to  prevent  any  misuse  of  force,  TOTAL  asks 
Group employees, private security providers and government security 
forces to implement the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human 
Rights (VPSHR) issued by States, NGOs and Extractive Companies. 

When  government  security  forces  are  deployed  to  ensure  the 
protection of the Group’s staff and assets, the Group entities maintain 
an ongoing dialogue with the representatives of national or regional 
authorities in order to raise their awareness on the need to respect 
the  VPSHR  and  encourage  them  to  sign  memorandums  of 
understanding that comply with these principles. 

5 

TOTAL has been a member of this initiative since 2012. Within this 
framework,  the  Group  publishes  an  annual  report  setting  out  the 
challenges,  lessons  learned  and  good  practices  in  relation  to 
security  and  human  rights  and,  if  applicable,  reports  any  incidents 
associated  with  the  Group’s  activities.  This  report  is  available  at 
sustainable-performance.total.com. 

Self- assessment  and  risk  analysis  tools  have  been  developed  and 
are deployed, in particular, in the entities located in high risk countries 
and conflict zones. 

TOTAL  regularly  organizes  training  sessions  and  awareness- raising 
activities on the risk of misuse of force, and more generally on the 
VPSHR,  for  its  staff,  private  security  providers  and  government 
security  forces.  In  2018,  TOTAL  partnered  with  other  Extractive 
Companies  and  the  Myanmar  Center  for  Responsible  Business  to 
organize two VPSHR awareness workshops for government officials, 
private security providers and NGOs in Myanmar.

Fighting corruption and tax evasion 

5.8  Fighting corruption and tax evasion 

5.8.1  Fighting corruption 

TOTAL is a major player in the energy sector, in which public 
authorities  play  a  significant  role  and  in  which  the  amounts 
invested  may  be  very  high.  TOTAL  is  present  in  more  than 
130  countries,  some  of  which  have  a  high  perceived  level  of 
corruption according to the index drawn up by  Transparency 
International. 

TOTAL is aware of the risk of corruption and applies a principle 
of zero tolerance. 

To  prevent  risks  of  corruption,  TOTAL  has  implemented  a  robust, 
regularly updated anti- corruption compliance program that has been 
rolled  out  throughout  the  Group.  The  aim  of  this  program  is  to 
promote  a  culture  of  compliance,  transparency  and  dialog, 
components that are key in ensuring the sustainability of the Group’s 
operations and activities, as well as to meet legal requirements and, 
in particular, to comply with applicable anti- corruption laws, such as 
the  U.S.  Foreign  Corrupt  Practices  Act,  the  UK  Bribery  Act  or  the 
French  law  on  transparency,  the  fight  against  corruption  and  the 
modernization of the economy. Failure to comply with such legislation 
could expose the Group to a high financial and criminal risk, a risk to 
its  reputation,  as  well  as  measures  such  as  the  review  and 
reinforcement  of  the  compliance  program  under  the  supervision  of 
an independent third party. 

The  commitment  of  the  entire  Group  and  the  efforts  undertaken  are 
unrelenting  in  order  to  ensure  the  sustainability  and  continuous 
improvement of the anti- corruption compliance program, which the 
U.S. authorities deemed to be appropriate in 2016, thus putting an 
end to the monitorship process that was introduced in 2013. 

This program is drawn up by a dedicated organization acting at the 
corporate and business segment levels: the Legal Risks Management 
and  Compliance  department,  headed  by  the  Chief  Compliance 
Officer,  and  the  Branch  Compliance  Officers.  They  coordinate  a 
network  of  nearly  390  Compliance  Officers  in  charge  of  rolling  out 
and  running  the  program  at  the  subsidiary  level.  This  structured 
organization lies in close proximity to operational activities while having 
its own dedicated reporting line. 

TOTAL’s  anti- corruption  compliance  program  is  based  primarily  on 
the following seven pillars: management commitment or “tone at the 
top”,  risk  assessment,  adoption  of  internal  standards,  awareness 
raising  and  training  of  the  employees,  feedback  of  information, 
including the whistleblowing system, mechanisms for assessing and 
monitoring  the  implementation  of  the  program,  and  imposition  of 
disciplinary sanctions in the event of misconduct. 

5.8.1.1  Management commitment 

The constant high level of commitment by the General Management 
is reflected by the principle of zero tolerance for corruption that is set 
out in the Group’s Code of Conduct. Managers have a duty to lead 
by example and are responsible for promoting a culture of integrity 
and  dialog.  This  commitment  is  expressed  in  regular  statements 
made by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer as well as through 
large- scale  communications  actions,  such  as  the  annual  Business 
Ethics  Day  organized  on  the  occasion  of  the  UN’s  International 
Anti-Corruption Day and Human Rights Day. This event was held for 
the fourth time in December 2018 and was devoted to the updated 
Code  of  Conduct  which  was  published  on  the  same  day  and 
presented by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in a video. 

The  commitment  of  the  management  bodies  is  also  expressed 
externally by TOTAL joining anti- corruption initiatives and supporting 
collaborative  and  multipartite  approaches.  TOTAL  joined  the 
Partnering  Against  Corruption  Initiative  (PACI) (1)  in  2016,  thereby 
adhering  to  the  PACI  Principles  for  Countering  Corruption.  The 
Group’s  commitment  has  been  further  reinforced  by  TOTAL’s 
Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  joining  the  PACI  Vanguard 
Board. 

TOTAL  is  also  a  member  of  other  initiatives  that  contribute  to  the 
global  effort  to  fight  against  corruption,  such  as  the  UN  Global 
Compact  since  2002  or  the  Extractive  Industries  Transparency 
Initiative (EITI) (2) ever since it was launched in 2002. Furthermore, in 
October 2018, TOTAL’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer took 
part  in  the  International  Anti-Corruption  Conference,  which  is 
organized every two years by Transparency International. 

5.8.1.2  Risk assessment 

To  ensure  that  the  compliance  program  is  adequate  regarding  the 
risks to which TOTAL is exposed, these must first be identified and 
assessed. Beyond the Group risk mapping, a risk mapping dedicated 
to the risks of corruption have been carried out at Group level and 
every Compliance Officer is responsible for establishing a mapping 
dedicated to the risks of corruption within their entities, with the aim 
of  drawing  up  a  suitable  action  plan.  Employees  are  provided  with 
tools that help them identify the risk of corruption, e.g., the Typological 
guide of corruption risks. 

Specific rules have been adopted and incorporated within the Group 
referential in order to mitigate the identified risks. 

5.8.1.3 

Internal standards 

As an essential element of the Group referential, the Code of Conduct 
sets out the behavior to be adopted, in particular with regard to the 
question  of  integrity.  It  prohibits  corruption,  including  influence 
peddling, and advocates “zero tolerance” in this area. 

The Code of Conduct is complemented by a regularly updated set of 
anti- corruption standards. The Anti- Corruption Compliance Directive, 
which was updated in 2016, recalls the main principles and organizes 
the  roll- out  of  the  anti-corruption  program.  It  deals,  among  others, 

(1)  Launched in 2004 within the World Economic Forum, PACI now numbers approximately 90 major corporations and forms a platform for discussion that brings together business leaders 

and governmental and non-governmental organizations, allowing them to share their experiences and ideas and develop best practices. 

(2)  The EITI brings together representatives of the governments of the member countries as well as representatives of civil society and business in order to strengthen transparency and

with  commitment,  training  and  awareness  raising,  accounting 
and  book- keeping,  the  assessment  system  and  whistleblowing 
mechanisms. This directive is complemented by rules that deal with 
more specific subjects in order to prevent the various identified risks. 
These rules relate, among others, to the due diligence process, i.e., 
the  analysis  and  assessment  of  third  parties  before  entering  into 
business relations with them. This analysis is performed according to 
criteria  that  differ  depending  on  the  risk  level  associated  with  the 
type of third party. These provisions are incorporated in the supplier 
and service provider qualification process, which was harmonized in 
2017- 2018  in  connection  with  the  gradual  roll- out  of  a  shared 
database within the Group. 

Standards  have  been  drawn  up  to  deal  with  other  high-risk  areas, 
such  as  gifts  and  hospitalities,  which  have  to  be  registered  and 
approved  by  the  line  manager  above  given  thresholds;  conflicts  of 
interest,  which  must  be  declared  to  the  line  manager;  compliance 
joint-ventures;  and  human 
programs 
resources- related processes such as recruitment. 

implemented  within 

The  consolidated  data  resulting  from  this  reporting,  which  reflects 
the results of the implemented policies, is presented once a year to 
the  Executive  Committee  and  the  Board  of  Directors  via  the 
Governance  and  Ethics  Committee.  This  presentation  provides  an 
opportunity to report the results of the undertaken actions at the very 
highest  level  and  to  review  the  roadmap  aligned  with  the  identified 
areas of improvement. 

In addition, TOTAL strives to develop a speak-up culture and asks its 
employees to report any situations that they consider to be contrary 
to  the  Code  of  Conduct.  This  culture  is  encouraged  by  regular 
communications that inform personnel about the various speak-up 
channels;  employees,  depending  on  the  option  they  feel  is  most 
appropriate, can contact: their line manager, their human resources 
manager,  their  Compliance  Officer  or  Ethics  Officer,  or  the  Group 
Ethics Committee. Both employees and third parties can refer to this 
Committee by writing to ethics@total.com. The Group will tolerate no 
retaliation  measure  toward  anyone  who  submits  a  report  in  good 
faith and undertakes to respect confidentiality. 

5.8.1.4  Awareness raising and training 

5.8.1.6  Assessment and monitoring 

Awareness  raising  actions  are  carried  out  towards  all  employees. 
The Group’s intranet contains a section on the fight against corruption 
which  provides  employees  with  various  media,  e.g.,  the  internal 
standards or guides such as the booklet entitled Prevention and fight 
against  corruption.  Poster  campaigns  communicating  the  key 
messages  in  the  risk  areas  are  organized  on  a  regular  basis;  the 
latest  one  was  launched  in  mid- 2018.  An  initial  anti- corruption 
e- learning course was rolled out in 2011 in 12 languages, followed 
by  a  more  in- depth  e- learning  module  in  2015.  This  module  is 
accessible to all employees and mandatory for the targeted personal 
(approximately 30,000 employees). New employees are also required 
to follow these e- learning courses. 

More targeted training courses are also provided for the most highly 
exposed  functions,  whether  by  the  corporate  or  segments 
Compliance teams or by the Compliance Officers in the subsidiaries. 
In- depth training is available to the Compliance Officers and a digital 
training  program,  intended  more  specifically  for  new  Compliance 
Officers, was launched in early 2019. 

5.8.1.5  Feedback of information 

The feedback of information is ensured primarily through an annual 
reporting  process.  This  is  performed  by  the  Compliance  Officers, 
reviewed by their Branch Compliance Officer and sent to the Chief 
Compliance Officer. This reporting contributes to monitor the roll- out 
and implementation of the anti- corruption program, through figures 
on key elements of the program, for example the number of training 
courses or due diligences performed. 

5.8.2  Fighting tax evasion 

The anti- corruption program is monitored firstly by the line managers 
and  the  Compliance  Officers  who  are  in  charge  of  ensuring  the 
day- to- day  implementation  of  the  rules.  Secondly,  controls  are 
performed  by  the  Compliance  function,  in  particular  through 
assessment  missions  (referred  to  as  compliance  reviews)  that  are 
undertaken  by  a  dedicated  team  within  the  Group’s  Compliance 
department. Internal Control also performs annual tests, in particular 
by documentary checks, in order to verify the quality of the reporting 
performed  by  the  Compliance  Officers.  Thirdly,  Group  Audit  helps 
monitor  the  anti- corruption  program  through  audits  performed 
according  to  a  framework  that  includes  compliance  topics  or  via 
more specific missions such as those relating to the Sarbanes- Oxley 
regulations. 

5.8.1.7  Sanctions 

In  line  with  the  principle  of  zero  tolerance  and  in  application  of  the 
Code of Conduct and the Anti-Corruption Directive, any infringement 
of  the  anti-corruption  standards  must  give  rise  to  disciplinary 
sanctions,  up  to  dismissal.  The  Group’s  resolve  in  this  matter  is 
recalled in communication media intended for employees as well as 
on  the  intranet.  This  resolve,  which  results  from  the  management 
commitment, contributes, with the other pillars described above, to 
the robustness of the anti- corruption compliance program. 

5 

With  a  presence  in  more  than  130  countries  through 
1,191 consolidated affiliates, TOTAL carries out its operations 
in  a  constantly  changing  environment  and  is  subject  to  an 
increasingly  complex  set  of  tax  regulations,  which  may  be  in 
conflict  when  combined  or  subject  to  varying  interpretations, 
thus giving rise to potential tax risk. 

In  this  context,  TOTAL  has  developed  a  responsible  tax  approach 
based on clear principles of action and rigorous governance rules as 
set out in its tax policy statement, which was released in 2014 and is 
available to the public at sustainable- performance.total.com.

Societal challenges 

“Tax policy: 

Tax payments of TOTAL represent a substantial part of our Group’s 
economic contribution to the countries in which we operate. 

TOTAL is mindful of its responsibility and is committed to paying 
its  fair  share  of  taxes  to  the  host  countries  of  its  operations, 
in  compliance  with  applicable  laws  and  conventions  and  in 
accordance with our Code of Conduct. 

Our  intercompany  transactions  are  thus  based  on  arm’s  length 
terms and our tax strategy is aligned with our business strategy. 
The  formation  of  affiliates  worldwide  is  driven  by  business 
operations, as well as regulatory constraints and JV requirements. 
It is the Group’s long term commitment not to create affiliates in 
countries generally acknowledged as tax havens and to repatriate 
or liquidate existing affiliates, where feasible. 

Our tax policy’s prime focus is certainty and sustainability in the 
long  term.  We  believe  that  the  expected  short  term  tax  benefit 
derived  from  artificial  or  aggressive  tax  planning  will  often  be 
outweighed  by  the  reputational  and  future  tax  litigation  risks 
inherent in such schemes. 

The Group takes a responsible approach to the management and 
control of taxation issues, relying on well- documented and controlled 

processes  to  manage  risk  and  ensure  compliance  with  tax 
disclosure and filing obligations. 

The  management  of  tax  risks  is  fully  integrated  in  the  Group’s 
global risk governance process. As part of this process, the Group 
VP  Tax  regularly  reports  to  the  Audit  Committee  and  the  Group 
Risk  Committee  on  TOTAL’s  global  tax  position,  risk  monitoring 
and associated improvement actions. 

We  engage  with  a  broad  range  of  stakeholders,  and  especially 
with  tax  authorities,  in  a  timely,  transparent  and  professional 
manner  which  is  the  basis  of  a  constructive  and  long  term 
relationship. 

As a permanent member of the Extractive Industries Transparency 
Initiative  (EITI)  since  its  creation  in  2002,  Total  fully  supports 
initiatives for greater transparency and accountability. We encourage 
governments to ensure that the tax reporting obligations they will 
impose upon multinational groups are consistent, coordinated and 
proportionate. 

Total  publishes  in  its  Registration  Document  an  annual  report 
covering the payments made by the Group’s extractive affiliates to 
governments (1) and the full list of its consolidated entities, together 
with their countries of incorporation and of operations.” 

Since 2017, the Group also files a country- by- country reporting to the French tax authorities. 

5.9  Societal challenges 

TOTAL puts its societal responsibility at the heart of its activities, in 
keeping with its ambition to become the major in responsible energy 
and the principles formally set forth in its Code of Conduct and its 
Safety Health Environment Quality Charter. 

While the Group’s activities may cause nuisances and have negative 
impacts on the living conditions of local communities and residents, 
they are also a source of opportunities through the socio- economic 
development  that  they  fuel.  In  line  with  its  socially  responsible 
commitments, the Group intends to actively support local and global 
initiatives  that  contribute  to  more  inclusive  growth  and  global 
progress. 

The Group has therefore identified its main societal challenges: 

—  to  manage  societal  challenges  related  to  operations  in  a 

responsible manner; 

—  to  promote  the  economic  development  in  the  territories 

where it is present through employment; 

—  to engage with citizenship initiatives. 

In an effort to offer practical responses to its societal challenges that 
are adapted to the multitude of realities it encounters in the field, the 
TOTAL  HSE  and  Civil  Society  Engagement  divisions  support  the 
Group entities in their Group societal initiatives. 

5.9.1  Managing societal challenges related to operations in a responsible manner 

The Group’s operational societal approach in the territories where it 
is present is based on a structured process that is implemented with 
the support of dedicated teams: 

1) Analysis of the challenges and the societal context 

Before  an  industrial  project  is  developed  by  the  Group,  an  initial 
pre- project  survey  is  conducted  to  identify  any  potentially  affected 
stakeholders and to describe and assess the main socio-economic 

and  cultural  issues  in  the  impacted  area.  It  is  complemented  by 
societal impact assessments that measure and analyze the societal 
impacts  –  actual  and  potential,  positive  and  negative,  direct  and 
indirect,  in  the  short,  medium  and  long  term,  intentional  or 
unintentional – of the project on the stakeholders. They cover areas 
such  as  the  socio-cultural,  economic  and  real  estate  context  and 
ecosystem  services.  In  2018,  Exploration  &  Production  conducted 
seven assessments. 

(1)  Refer to point 9.3 of chapter 9.

NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 

Societal challenges  5 

The assessment of risks and issues by the risks Committee (CORISK), 
before an investment project is submitted to the Executive Committee, 
takes the societal aspects into consideration. 

The internal standards require all the Group’s entities and subsidiaries 
to  conduct  and  update,  at  least  every  five  years,  an  assessment 
of  their  societal  context  in  terms  of  the  exposure  of  the  entity  or 
subsidiary and of the impact of its activities on its stakeholders, and 
in particular the sensitivity of the human, social, economic and cultural 
context, as well as the societal impacts (including human rights) of 
their operations and their presence. 

2) Development of a societal strategy integrated 

with operations 

Every entity pays close attention to local issues by defining short-term 
and  long- term  societal  targets  and  its  priority  fields  of  action  that 
take account of: 

—  the  need  to  remain  within  the  regulatory  and  contractual 
framework,  as  well  as  meeting  the  applicable  international 
standards; 

—  the  social,  economic  and  environmental  concerns  and 

expectations of the stakeholders; 

—  the  assessment  of  the  societal  context  in  terms  of  risks  and 

impacts; 

—  The Group’s ambitious commitments to civil society. 

These  targets  are  built  into  a  structured  operational  action  plan, 
based on three pillars: 

—  dialogue and involvement of local stakeholders; 

—  avoiding  and  reducing  the  societal  impacts  of  the  Group’s 

activities; 

—  taking initiatives in favor of the local communities and residents. 

3) Implementing and monitoring societal actions 

and projects 

The  societal  approach  is  integrated  within  operations  through  the 
internal industrial health, safety, security, societal and environmental 
management system. Internal expectations regarding the management 
of stakeholders and local impacts are formally expressed in an internal 
Group rule that applies to all the operated entities. Guides, manuals 
and a community of practices are available on the Group intranet site 
to help the entities to implement their operational societal initiative. 

The  societal  teams  reporting  to  HSE  departments  and  their 
correspondents  with  the  Group  entities  oversee  the  fulfillment  of 
these requirements. Societal aspects are included within the scope 
of  the  HSE  audits  that  produce  recommendations  to  reinforce  the 
control  of  operations.  In  keeping  with  the  strategic  orientations 
defined by General Management, each entity and subsidiary conducts 
an annual self- diagnostic of the activities it operates. All the societal 
actions taken are listed in an annual internal reporting. 

In addition to the global training covering all the HSE topics, specific 
training is delivered to managers and operational personnel in charge 
of societal matters, such as The basics of societal engineering (seven 
sessions  in  2018,  with  109  trainees,  including  49  in  Nigeria)  or 
advanced  and  specific  training  modules  in  the  operations  of 
Exploration & Production (four sessions in 2018, with 32 trainees). 

In  an  effort  to  structure  its  societal  initiative,  in  2006,  TOTAL 
introduced the internal Stakeholder Relationship Management (SRM+) 
methodology  that  aims  to  facilitate  the  mapping  out  of  the 
stakeholders and the societal issues related to the local context, and 
to commit to an action plan intended to build trusting relationships 
over time. SRM+ has been deployed in almost every subsidiary. The 
Group also developed MOST (Management Operational Societal Tool) 
for its Exploration & Production subsidiaries. This tool, which includes 
a geographical information system, can be used to manage relations 
with stakeholders, complaints about sites, as well as societal projects 
and  the  resulting  specific  actions  (access  to  land,  compensation, 
dialog) more efficiently. 

5.9.1.1  Dialogue and involvement of local stakeholders 

5 

TOTAL  takes  initiatives  to  establish  dialogue  by  listening  to  and 
involving  stakeholders  in  order  to  develop  constructive  and 
transparent relations with them. For industrial projects developed by 
the Group, this information, consultation and dialogue process starts 
well before any decisions on investments. 

In accordance with the Group’s framework, every Group entity and 
subsidiary  is  expected  to  dialogue  regularly  with  its  stakeholders 
about the assets, activities or sites that it operates, in order to better 
understand  their  concerns  and  expectations,  to  measure  their 
satisfaction  and  to  identify  means  of  improving  the  entity’s  societal 
policy. 

On  the  basis  of  the  map  of  local  stakeholders,  which  is  drawn  up 
and regularly updated as part of the SRM+ methodology, the entities 
concerned are required to establish a dialogue process that is structured 
as follows: 

—  information on the entity’s activities that could have impacts and 

on the planned mitigation actions; 

—  listening  to  opinions,  concerns,  perceptions  and  expectations, 

public consultations; 

—  consideration  of  the  concerns  and  expectations  in  the  action 

plans deployed; 

—  feedback  to  the  stakeholders  on  the  actions  taken  and 

completed. 

TOTAL  acknowledges  the  specificities  of  indigenous  and  tribal 
peoples  (as  referred  to  in  International  Labor  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. 

The approach to dialogue at Exploration & Production is managed in 
certain subsidiaries by mediators, called Community Liaison Officers 
(CLO), who liaise between the entity and the surrounding populations. 
Employed  by  TOTAL,  they  are  from  the  local  communities,  speak 
their  language  and  understands  their  customs,  and  they  play  a 
decisive role in reaching a mutual understanding. Special attention is 
paid to the most vulnerable populations. By way of example, in Papua 
New  Guinea  in  2018,  the  appointment  of  a  woman  from  a  Papua 
tribe residing close to Block PRL 15 as the CLO, helped to establish 
constructive dialog, with the involvement of women in this process.

5  NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 

Societal challenges 

Refining  &  Chemicals  has  set  up  structures  for  dialogue  and 
exchanges with local stakeholders (such as the Community Advisory 
Panels  in  the  United  States  or  the  special  local  commissions  on 
some  European  platforms).  In  2018,  the  Feyzin  site  celebrated  the 
tenth  anniversary  of  its  residents’  Conference,  which  organizes 
quarterly  exchanges  with  area  residents,  NGOs  and  the  local 

authorities.  Open  days  are  also  organized  on  the  occasion  of  the 
inauguration of new facilities or of site anniversaries, for example at 
the  Lindsay  (United  Kingdom),  Port  Arthur  (United  States),  Carling 
(France)  and  Antwerp  (Belgium)  platforms.  These  events  are  ideal 
opportunities to maintain dialogue and build trusting relations. 

5.9.1.2  Managing the societal impacts of the Group’s activities 

Societal  impact  assessments  conducted  upstream  of  industrial 
projects developed by the Group help to identify the types of potential 
impacts of the activities on the communities and to set up specific 
and adapted local action plans to avoid, reduce or compensate for 
these impacts. 

Impacts on cultural and religious practices and heritage 

—  In  Lebanon,  in  the  preliminary  study  phase  of  the  Block  4  and 
Block  9  exploration  project,  an  assessment  of  the  underwater 
archeological potential was conducted. 

Avoid, reduce and compensate 

The action plans usually cover the common topics presented below. 
The actions taken to minimize the impacts must be adapted to the 
local  context,  the  stakeholders  involved  and  the  type  of  project.  In 
every  project,  special  attention  is  paid  to  listening  to  vulnerable 
populations  (women,  ethnic  minorities,  natives,  etc.).  The  following 
examples illustrate some of the actions taken in 2018: 

Impacts and nuisances for local communities and residents 

—  In Mauritania, in order to avoid accidents in fishing zones, Fishing 
Liaison Officers were assigned to the seismic line-laying boats in 
order to dialogue with fishermen during the seismic campaign of 
Block C7. 

Impacts on access to land and water 

—  In Tanzania, where 4,000 hectares of land and 200 villages will 
be impacted to varying degrees by the 1,143 km pipeline project, 
a major program to involve the stakeholders is being deployed 
by  a  dedicated  local  team  in  order  to  facilitate  access  to 
information  for  the  greatest  number  and  to  come  up  with 
differentiating solutions that take the concerns and problems of 
the various populations concerned into consideration (nomads, 
shepherds, traditional miners). 

—  In Papua New Guinea, where land law is customary, i.e., based 
on ancestral oral traditions, social mapping and identification of 
landowners  has  been  carried  out  in  the  LNG  PRL-15  project 
area in accordance with the petroleum developments law. 

Impacts on socio- economic activities (economic losses) 
and employment 

—  In  France,  Carling  and  La  Mède  have  taken  action  to  enhance 
the attractiveness of the platforms (refer to chapter 5.9.2.2). 

Handling grievances from local communities 

The Group framework provides for the implementation of operational 
procedures to handle grievances by providing local communities with 
a preferential, rapid and simple channel to voice their problems and 
grievances.  The  Group’s  local  entities  handle  these  grievances  in 
order to offer an appropriate response to anyone who feels that they 
have  suffered  damage  as  a  result  of  the  activity  and  to  improve 
internal processes in order to reduce nuisances or impacts that may 
be caused by the activities. 

At Exploration & Production, a set of tools is made available to the 
subsidiaries, including, in particular, a standard procedure designed 
to  make  it  easier  for  local  communities  to  access  the  grievances 
mechanisms.  This  standard  procedure  complies  with  the  United 
Nations guiding principles on Business and Human Rights. By way 
of  example,  a  campaign  was  organized  in  Senegal  to  inform 
fishermen in the coastal villages between Dakar and Joal about the 
ROP Block offshore seismic campaign. The existence and workings 
of the grievances management mechanism were explained to them. 
In Tanzania, access to this mechanism and contact with the project 
teams  were  made  easier  by  installing  visual  materials,  information 
noticeboards, letter boxes, a free telephone number and information 
offices were installed in the villages concerned. 

Grievance  management  systems  are 
in  place  on  every 
ISO  14001- certified  Refining  &  Chemicals  platform.  The  local 
communities  are  extensively  involved  in  the  search  for  solutions  to 
control the impacts of the Group’s activities. 

At  Marketing  &  Services,  a  guide  intended  to  raise  awareness  of 
grievance  management  helps  the  subsidiaries  and  the  operational 
sites to set up dedicated systems that are separate from the business 
grievances circuit. 

5.9.1.3  Taking initiatives in favor of the local communities and residents 

Built  on  constructive  dialog,  the  involvement  of  stakeholders  bears 
witness to the Group’s will to build trusting, long- term relations. The 
long- term  future  of  societal  projects  is  guaranteed  by  partnerships 
with local institutions and organizations. TOTAL cooperates directly 
with the local authorities in all its actions and collaborates with NGOs 
that have experience in the field. 

First  and  foremost,  the  projects  address  the  issues  of  local 
development  and  solidarity  and  favor  cooperation  and  skills 
development.

Societal challenges  5 

At Exploration & Production, the following initiatives are just some 
examples of the approach adopted: 

—  In  Papua  New  Guinea,  the  Societal  Baseline  Study  and  the 
Human Rights Impact Assessment (HRIA) highlighted the critical 
nature  of  health  problems,  especially  among  women  for  which 
maternal  mortality  rates  are  very  high.  A  partnership  with  the 
government agency NVS (National Volunteer Service) resulted in 
the  hiring  of  two  social  workers  to  help  the  populations  in  the 
villages close to Block PRL 15, who live under very precarious 
sanitary conditions. Members of the local communities are being 
trained to eventually replace the social workers as employees of 
the  Gulf  Province.  Care  centers  are  being  set  up,  and  in  two 
years (2017 – 2018) more than 4,000 consultations have taken 
place. 

—  In  Nigeria,  TOTAL  supported  the  Agric  Farm  Project  dedicated 
to the communities neighboring OML 58 that conducts research 
and  introduces  new  varieties  of  plants  to  improve  the  yield  of 
local agricultural activities. 

—  Total  Austral  launched  the  first  Expertos  en  Seguridad  (safety 
experts) operation in Neuquén and Tierra del Fuego provinces, 
with  the  participation  of  five  schools  located  close  to  the 
subsidiary’s  operations  in  Añelo  and  Rio  Grande.  The  Total’s 
Road  Safety  Cube  road  safety  awareness- raising  program  for 
children was attended by 756 children aged between 8 and 12 
in 18 educational workshops. 

—  TEP Congo inaugurated a community center for the populations 
living  in  Djeno,  where  the  oil  terminal  operated  by  TOTAL  is 
located. The center features sports facilities, a conference center 
and a library. 

At  Marketing  &  Services,  TOTAL  is  pursuing  its  actions  against 
energy  insecurity  in  France  notably  for  support  and  to  help 
low- income households thermally renovate their homes. The Group 
works alongside the French government and other energy suppliers 
in  the  “Living  Better”  program,  as  well  as  the  Coup  de  pouce 
économies  d’énergie  (energy  saving  boost)  initiative  launched  in 
February 2017. 

In  2018,  Refining  &  Chemicals  has  concluded  a  number  of 
partnerships with educational institutions. As for example, in France, 
SOBEGI (Lacq) which is involved in a partnership with La Cité scolaire 
de Mourenx which is based on constructive and diversified exchanges 
(e.g.,  on  site  intervention  by  SOBEGI  employees  to  increase 
awareness  in  the  field  of  circular  economy  among  bachelors’ 
students; welcoming of students during three weeks on the industrial 
facilities; support for students and teachers in the Olympiades de la 
Chimie; organization of a competition of noses as part of the Year of 
Chemistry. 

In the Gas, Renewables & Power branch, an entity is dedicated to 
the development of an access- to- energy offer based on clean and 
affordable solutions (refer to point 2.2.3 of chapter 2). 

5.9.2  Fostering economic development through employment 

5 

The  Group  is  building  a  global,  integrated  local  development 
approach  (“in- country  value”)  that  creates  synergies  among  all  the 
value- creating elements for host countries (employment, subcontracting, 
infrastructure, support for local industries, socioeconomic development 
projects, education, access to energy, etc.) by promoting the Group’s 
industrial know- how. TOTAL promotes actions that help to strengthen 
the  capacity  of  individuals  and  local  organizations  to  organize  their 
development independently and durably, by favoring co- construction 
and partnerships with local players. 

5.9.2.1  Developing an approach to create 

shared value 

The Group is committed to creating jobs and using resources for its 
projects  and  operations  (local  citizens  and  local  subcontractors),  if 
it’s operational imperatives so permit. Human skills- building and local 
SME support programs complete this commitment, resulting not only 
in  the  development  of  local  capacity,  but  also  in  the  economic 
diversification of the territories where TOTAL operates. 

To guarantee the coherence over time of each project’s action plans, 
their  durability  in  the  production  phase  and  the  optimization  of  the 
allocated  resources,  this  long- term  initiative  forms  part  of  a  local 
industrial  strategy  that  aims  to  maximize  the  impact  on  the  host 
country measured in terms of new jobs. This strategy is applied to 
each of the Group’s major industrial projects with high local- content 
impacts, after first analyzing all the industrial and human capacities 
and the associated risks, resulting in a plan of specific actions. For 
example, an analysis of this kind was made in 2018 in Tanzania as 
part of the EACOP project. 

These action plans help to structure technical resources, in particular 
through  training,  by  strengthening  human  skills  and  supporting  the 
economic development of areas of high employment by supporting 
local SMEs and recruiting local people. For example, in Nigeria, 77% 
of  hours  on  the  FPSO  project  for  the  Egina  field  were  worked  by 
local people. 

5.9.2.2  Leveraging the reindustrialization 
of the Group’s platforms 

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)  subsidiary.  TDR  proposes 
various measures that contribute to creating and keeping jobs in the 
long term, such as financial support for the creation, development or 
takeover  of  SMEs  in  the  form  of  loans,  support  for  industrial 
redeployment with actors in local development, or support for exports 
and international development. Between 2016 and 2018, loans were 
granted  to  more  than  500  SME  projects,  amounting  to  a  total  of 
more than €30 million, and support for more than 10,000 jobs. 

Additionally,  the  Group  is  pursuing  its  projects  for  the  future  of  the 
Carling, La Mède and Lacq platforms. The Voluntary Agreements for 
Economic and Social Development (CVDES) signed for Carling and 
La Mède set forth the Group’s commitments in terms of support for 
SMEs and industrial actions. 

On the Carling industrial platform (France), following the shutdown 
of the second steam cracker in 2015, TOTAL is proceeding with this 
industrial redeployment without any job losses and in keeping with 
its contractual commitments to its customers and partner companies. 
In particular, the Group has set up a fund to support subcontractor 
companies.  TOTAL  has  invested  €190  million  in  order  to  develop 
new  activities  in  the  growing  hydrocarbon  resins  (Cray  Valley)  and 
polymers markets.

Societal challenges 

TOTAL is also involved in developing a shared services offer on the 
platform to boost its appeal and support the arrival of new industrial 
actors. 

—  A  first  industrial  project  (SNF  Coagulants,  €19  million  of 

investments and 25 direct jobs) was launched in 2017; 

—  In October 2018, Quaron, France’s leading chemicals distributor, 
confirmed its decision to open a new chemicals distribution and 
formulation  site  on  the  platform  (20  industrial  jobs  in  the  long 
term); 

—  Two innovative biochemicals companies: Metabolic Explorer has 
confirmed its decision to invest (€48 million and 48 direct jobs); 
Afyren  has  finalized  its  funding  plan  (€50  million  and  50  direct 
jobs)  and  intends  to  lift  the  technical  conditions  applying  to  its 
arrival on the platform. 

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  lasting  industrial  presence  in  the  Lorraine 
region. 

Plan  to  convert  the  La  Mède  refinery  (France)  through  an  initial 
investment greater than €275 million is underway to create the first 
French  biorefinery  and  an  Adblue (1) production  workshop,  establish 
an 8 MW solar farm and set up a training center in partnership with 
the  IFP  Énergies  nouvelles.  This  project  will  be  completed  without 
any lay- offs. 

TDR  is  supporting  the  subcontractors  and  putting  the  Group’s 
commitments  into  action.  In  particular,  as  a  qualified  member  of 
PIICTO (Platform for Industry and Innovation at Caban Tonkin), TDR 
organized  PIICTO  bio-industries  working  group,  which  is  targeting 
the profile of new enterprises that could become part of the industrial 
fabric  of  the  Etang  de  Berre.  As  a  consequence,  in  2018,  the 
Aix-Marseille- Provence  district  authority  issued  a  call  for  interest  in 
an  attempt  to  attract  investors  in  the  fields  of  the  energy  transition 
and energy efficiency, sustainable biofuels and bio- industries. 

In October 2018, the Chinese group Quechen signed a building lease 
with the Marseille port authority for a 12-hectare plot of land in the 
heart of the PIICTO platform that will host a plant producing silica for 
“green  tires”  (an  investment  of  €105  million  and  130  direct  jobs), 
representing a major Chinese investment in a new production plant 
in France. 

In  2018,  TDR  also  supported  the  industrial  development  of  three 
local companies, with the creation of 94 new jobs. 

On the Lacq platform in France, a TDR unit, hosted by Sobegi, the 
platform’s  controller,  is  improving  the  platform’s  marketing  and 
research offer and examining third- party industrial projects that could 
join  the  platform.  2018  saw  the  launch  of  the  new  “The  Lacq 
Advantage”  platform  offer,  with  a  dedicated  web  site.  A  working 
group comprising the Pau- Béarn chamber of commerce and industry, 
the Chemparc public interest group, the Lacq- Orthez district authority, 
Sobegi and TDR is actively looking for investors in Europe and Asia, 
with the help of two expert consulting firms. 

The examination of Fonroche’s industrial project to produce biogas 
on the Lacq platform has reached an advanced stage. 

5.9.2.3  Supporting the creation of new businesses 

Following  the  success  of  TOTAL’s  first  Startupper  of  the  Year 
Challenge in 34 African countries in 2015, the 2018- 2019 challenge 
has been extended to 55 countries worldwide and will support and 
reward  young  local  entrepreneurs  in  2019  who  have  launched  a 
project  or  created  a  company  in  the  last  two  years,  irrespective  of 
the segment of activity. The 13,100 projects, complete and compliant 
with the rules, submitted in the autumn of 2018 have been assessed 
according to three criteria: their innovative character, their social and 
societal impact and their feasibility and development potential. 

A  Grand  Jury  will  then  meet  to  select  the  six  continental  “Grand 
Winners”  from  the  winners  in  each  country.  In  keeping  with  the 
Group’s  promise  to  develop  women’s  careers,  the  2018- 2019 
challenge  will  award  one  “Female  favorite”  per  country  to  support 
female entrepreneurs. This special prize will be awarded in addition 
to the other prizes. 

Much  more  than  an  entrepreneurial  contest,  the  2018- 2019 
Startupper  Challenge  confirms  TOTAL’s  wish  to  support  the 
socio- economic development of the countries worldwide where the 
Group  is  present.  It  contributes  locally  to  the  strengthening  of  the 
social  fabric  by  helping  the  most  innovative  entrepreneurs  to  turn 
their projects into reality. 

In  parallel  to  this  initiative,  the  Group’s  segments  and  subsidiaries 
locally support entrepreneurship through partnerships. 

5.9.3  Engaging in citizenship initiatives 

TOTAL  is  also  involved  in  the  community  through  civic  initiatives  in 
all of its host regions. They extend and complete the actions taken 
as part of its economic activities. 

5.9.3.1  The Total Foundation program 

In the face of societal issues and today’s environmental challenges, 
TOTAL wishes to strengthen its public interest initiatives. This strong 
commitment is part of TOTAL’s ambition to become the responsible 
energy  major.  In  2017,  the  Group  drew  up  a  new  citizenship 
commitment policy, aligned with its history, values and businesses, 
to  intensify  its  impact.  This  policy  is  currently  being  deployed 
internationally to gradually include community support initiatives. 

Against  this  backdrop,  the  Total  Foundation  program  covers  the 
actions of solidarity taken every day worldwide by the Group’s sites, 
subsidiaries  and  Fondation  d’entreprise.  The  Total  Foundation 
program is driven mainly by Fondation d’entreprise Total in France, 
whose  accreditation  was  renewed  at  the  end  of  2017  for  the  five 
years from 2018 to 2022, with a budget of €125 million. 

Through  this  program,  the  Group  and  the  Fondation  d’entreprise 
Total want to contribute to the development of the territories where 
the Group is present, alongside their partners. With a clear focus on 
young people, the program concentrates on four themes: road safety, 
forests  and  climate,  youth  inclusion  and  education,  and  cultural 
dialogue and heritage. 

In  2018,  the  Group’s  citizenship  initiatives  were  gradually  brought 
into line with these themes: 

—  Road safety: safer mobility by educating youth under the age of 
25,  training  and  raising  the  awareness  of  specific  populations 
and  supporting  and  encouraging  the  authorities  to  implement 
road safety policies. 

For example, in 2018, the Fondation d’entreprise Total teamed 
up  with  the  Michelin  Company  Foundation  to  launch  the  VIA 
road safety education program. With its innovative and interactive 
methodology,  this  program  aims  to  raise  awareness  amongst 
10 to 18- year- olds by inviting them to propose ways of identifying

pilots in France, Cameroon and India. The Fondation d’entreprise 
Total  is  also  a  founding  member  of  the  United  Nations  Road 
Safety Trust Fund that aims to contribute to the achievement of 
target 3.6 of the United Nations SDGs: to halve the number of 
global deaths and injuries from road traffic accidents. 

—  Forests and climate: an environment more beneficial to humans 
through the natural storage of carbon by conserving and restoring 
forests, mangroves, wetlands and degraded soils, by improving 
biodiversity  and  the  quality  of  life  of  local  communities  through 
the  conservation  and  restoration  of  sensitive  ecosystems,  by 
raising  awareness  and  training,  especially  young  people,  in 
environmental conservation. 

For example, in 2018, three new partnerships were launched to 
conserve and protect sensitive ecosystems in France: one with 
the  French  State  forestry  agency  ONF,  to  conserve  France’s 
State- owned forests and protect them against natural risks, one 
with  the  agency  for  the  protection  of  the  coastline,  to  look  for 
natural solutions to the effects of climate change on the coastline, 
and  one  with 
to  restore 
Mediterranean forests destroyed by fires and manage fire- related 
risks.  The  Fondation  d’entreprise  Total  also  plans  to  become 
involved  in  a  junior  tranche  of  the  Land  Degradation  Neutrality 
Fund,  the  world’s  leading  fund  tasked  with  restoring  soil  or 
reducing soil degradation on a large scale. This fund was created 
in  2017  under  the  terms  of  the  United  Nations  Convention  to 
Combat  Desertification  (UNCCD)  and  Mirova,  the  Natixis 
management company dedicated to responsible investment.

to  a  professional  future  chosen  for  young  people  from  priority 
districts.  It  is  also  pursuing  its  involvement  with  “Sport  dans  la 
Ville”, whose “Job dans la Ville” project supports the training and 
professional  integration  of  young  people.  Additionally,  the 
Fondation d’entreprise Total continues to support “La Fondation 
La  France  s’engage”,  which  allows  for  the  development  of 
innovative projects in the social and inclusive economy. 

—  Cultural dialogue and heritage: for cultural openness and the

For example, in 2018, the Fondation d’entreprise Total renewed 
its  three-year  agreement  with  the  Fondation  du  patrimoine  to 
fund  works 
the 
socio- professional integration of young people and local vitality. 
It also supports numerous initiatives in favor of artistic and cultural 
education  that  attempt  to  combat  the  mechanisms  of  social 
reproduction and to broaden the opportunities of the participants, 
including  the  Paris  National  Opera’s  “Dix  Mois  d’École  et 
d’Opéra”  program  and  the  Paris  Philharmonic  Orchestra’s 
“Démos” program. Additionally, it works to enhance the appeal 
of  the  areas  where  it  is  present  and  to  promote  contemporary 
creation in the regions, by supporting events such as Marseille 
Provence 2018. 

—  Youth  education  and  inclusion:  empowering  socially  at-risk 
young people, through actions in support of academic success 
and  personal  development,  the  development  of  training  and 
professional  integration  programs,  in  particular  in  industry,  and 
support for entrepreneurship. 

For  example,  in  2018,  to  contribute  to  the  empowerment  of 
socially fragile young people and their professional integration, in 
France, 
the 
development  of  Les  Ecoles  de  production  that  enable  young

5.9.3.2  The employee volunteering program 

Since the end of 2018, the Group has launched Action!, the Group’s 
Employee  Volunteering  Program,  through  which  TOTAL  gives  its 
employees the time and means to get involved and contribute to the 
development of the areas where the Group is present. It thus gives 
employees,  on  a  voluntary  basis,  the  possibility  to  support,  up  to 
three days per year during their working time, or outside of it, local 
solidarity projects within the scope of the Total Foundation Program.

5.10  Contractors and suppliers 

TOTAL’s  activities  generate  hundreds  of  thousands  of  direct  and 
indirect  jobs  worldwide.  Present  in  more  than  130  countries,  the 
Group currently works with a network of more than 100,000 suppliers 
of goods and services worldwide. In 2018, the Group’s purchases of 
goods  and  services  (excluding  petroleum  products  and  vessel 
chartering  by  Trading  &  Shipping)  represented  approximately 
$29 billion (1) worldwide. The allocation of expenditures on the Group 
level is approximately 32% for goods (products, materials, etc.) and 
approximately  68%  for  services  (in  particular  consulting  services, 
work with supply of materials, transport, etc.). 

Through  their  activities,  the  Group’s  subcontractors  and 
suppliers may face the same risks that the Group encounters 
in  its  own  activities  notably  in  terms  of  social,  environmental, 
societal and corruption- related risks. The most prominent risks 
relate  mainly  to  human  rights  in  the  workplace  (forced  labor 
and  child  labor,  discrimination,  fair  and  equitable  working 
conditions and safety), health, security and safety, corruption, 
conflicts of interest, fraud and the environment.

Contractors and suppliers 

TOTAL’s success as a responsible company is played out all along 
its  value  chain,  and  the  Group  is  convinced  of  the  importance  of 
working  with  suppliers  that  respect  human  rights  and  take  care  of 
their  employees.  The  Group  expects  its  suppliers  to  adhere  to 
principles equivalent to those in its own Code of Conduct, as set out 
in  the  Fundamental  Principles  of  Purchasing  directive.  To  this  end, 
the  Group  wanted  the  management  of  its  supplier  relations  to  be 
coordinated  by  the  dedicated  cross- functional  “Total  Global 
Procurement”  entity,  which  is  tasked,  in  particular,  with  delivering 

Purchasing  services  and  assisting  the  Group’s  entities  and  sites, 
mainly  in  Exploration  &  Production,  Refining  &  Petrochemicals, 
Marketing & Services and Gas, Renewables & Power. This approach 
is complemented by employee training programs and actions to raise 
awareness amongst the Group’s partners, customers and suppliers. 
Its  success  is  also  based  on  TOTAL’s  involvement  in  international 
initiatives or collaborative approaches specific to the energy sector 
that promote the emergence of good practices. 

5.10.1  The Group’s responsible procurement policy 

The Group ensures that contractual conditions are negotiated in an 
equitable manner with its suppliers. The Code of Conduct restates 
this requirement and the three essential principles that guide TOTAL’s 
relations  with  its  suppliers:  dialogue,  professionalism  and  the 
fulfillment of commitments. 

These principles are also set forth in the Fundamental Principles of 
Purchasing,  launched  in  2010,  that  specify  the  commitments  that 
TOTAL  expects  its  employees  and  suppliers  to  adhere  to  in  the 
following areas: respect for human rights at work, the protection of 
health,  safety  and  security,  preservation  of  the  environment, 
prevention of corruption, and conflicts of interest and the fight against 
fraud,  respect  for  competition  law,  as  well  as  the  promotion  of 
economic and social development. These principles were drawn up 
in keeping with the fundamental principles defined in particular in the 
United  Nations  Universal  Declaration  of  Human  Rights,  the 
conventions  of  the  International  Labor  Organization,  the  United 
Nations Global Compact and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational 
Enterprises. 

Furthermore, a Sustainable Procurement road map defines TOTAL’s 
guidelines  in  this  area.  A  Sustainable  Procurement  Committee 
regularly brings together the Management Committee of Total Global 
Procurement and the Civil Society Engagement (including the Human 
Rights  Department),  HSE  and  Legal  divisions  as  well  as  the  Ethics 
Committee.  It  is  tasked  with  monitoring  the  implementation  of  the 
Group’s Sustainable Procurement road map. 

Employee awareness- raising actions and training 

TOTAL has set up a number of channels of communication to raise 
employee  awareness  of  the  risks  and  issues  related  to  its  supply 
chain. Training modules explaining the Group’s ethical commitments 
and the Fundamental Principles of Purchasing have been developed 
for  and  made  available  to  Group  procurement  representatives. 

In 2018, 196 procurement representatives were trained on respect 
of  human  rights  and  working  conditions  by  suppliers,  and  250  on 
anti- corruption rules. 

The Group provides its procurement representatives with supporting 
materials,  such  as  the  “Sustainable  Purchasing  Awareness  Cards” 
that recap human rights at work and identify the purchaser practices 
that must alert them. A set of communication tools intended to help 
procurement representatives to enter discussions on the Fundamental 
Principles  of  Purchasing  was  also  distributed  within  Total  Global 
Procurement. The materials used in the annual performance review 
have been revised to include a section on human rights. 

In June 2018, the International Procurement Days brought together 
the  170  procurement  representatives  present  in  41  countries.  The 
Fundamental  Principles  of  Purchasing  were  distributed  during  the 
event and the internal supplier qualification and audit processes were 
presented. 

With  respect  to  the  development  of  good  practices  in  business 
relations,  TOTAL  also  launched  an  initiative  to  raise  its  employees’ 
awareness  of  mediation  as  an  alternative  method  for  resolving 
disputes. Since 2013, a training day run by professional mediators to 
raise  awareness  of  mediation  has  been  organized  in  French  and 
English. In 2017, an open day for employees of the Group, lawyers and 
suppliers, enabled participants to learn about the benefits of mediation. 
A brochure designed to increase awareness of the mediation process 
is available to all Group employees. In addition, an email address is 
available  on  the  Group  website  (under  “Suppliers”).  The  Group’s 
suppliers can contact the internal supplier mediator using a generic 
email  address  (mediation.fournisseurs@total.com).  The  internal 
mediator is tasked with facilitating relations between the Group and 
its French and international suppliers. The general purchasing terms 
and conditions also mention the possibility of recourse to mediation. 

5.10.2  Extension of the Group’s policy to the supply chain 

TOTAL expects its suppliers to: 

—  adhere to the Fundamental Principles of Purchasing and ensure 

—  ensure  that  their  own  suppliers  and  subcontractors  adhere  to 

these Fundamental Principles of Purchasing, 

that they are adhered to in their activities, 

— refer  to  the  Group  Ethics  Committee  when  in  doubt  or  in  the 

—  accept to be audited according to these principles, 

—  remain  attentive  to  the  everyday  working  conditions  of  their 

employees and their suppliers’ employees, 

event of any malfunction.

The rules set out in these Principles must be included or transposed 
into  the  agreements  concluded  with  suppliers.  To  this  end,  these 
Principles are available for consultation by all suppliers in both French 
and English on TOTAL’s website (under “Suppliers”). 

The supplier qualification process 

The supplier qualification process was harmonized at Group level in 
2017  by  Total  Global  Procurement.  A  new  internal  framework  was 
published in 2018. A new computerized qualification tool will gradually 
be rolled out starting in 2019, with a planned scope of 107 countries 
thus far. 

It will be used to automate and document the supplier qualification 
process, which unfolds in four stages: 

1.  confirmation of interest; 

2.  a risk pre- analysis to decide whether an in- depth analysis of each 
criterion  is  necessary  (HSE,  anti- corruption,  societal,  financial, 
technical); 

3.  determination of the qualification status; 

4.  monitoring  and  renewal  of  qualification.  Qualifications  are  valid 

for three years. 

The supplier assessment process 

Simultaneously, the Group has set up a supplier assessment process 
to identify and prevent risks of severe impacts on human rights and 
fundamental freedoms, human health and safety. Thus, since 2016, 
the Group started conducting campaigns to audit working conditions 
amongst its suppliers. These audits are conducted by a specialized 
service  provider,  with  which  TOTAL  signed  a  framework  contract 
in 2016. 

Since 2017, the Group has been rolling- out specific training for Group 
purchasers to evaluate suppliers with respect to human rights. 

Moreover,  in  September  2018,  TOTAL,  BP,  Equinor  and  Shell 
announced  their  intention  to  develop  a  common  collaborative 
approach to assess the respect of human rights by their suppliers. 
The partner companies are convinced of the importance of working 

with suppliers that respect human rights, on the one hand, and take 
good care of their employees, on the other. The goal of this common 
approach is to encourage the improvement of working conditions in 
the supply chain of the companies involved. This initiative addresses 
the United Nations SDG N° 8: “to promote sustained, inclusive and 
sustainable  economic  growth,  full  and  productive  employment  and 
decent work for all”. 

Supplier awareness- raising actions 

The deployment of the anti- corruption policy in purchasing continued 
in  2017  with  awareness- raising  sessions  for  strategic  suppliers  at 
the Suppliers Day. This event gathered more than 100 suppliers that 
are considered to be strategic in view of their contribution to Group 
operations. In addition to numerous initiatives taken in previous years, 
in  2018  approximately  229  suppliers  underwent  an  anti- corruption 
analysis through the issuing of specific questionnaires, completed, in 
some cases, by external inspections. 

Every  year,  one  of  the  departments  of  the  IPO  (TOTAL  IPO  in 
Shanghai, China) organizes a compliance day and invites one of its 
approved  suppliers.  It  can  explain  the  actions  it  takes  regarding 
anti- corruption compliance, the concrete problems encountered and 
how it deals with them. The discussions, based on case studies and 
topical issues, are enlightening for all. In 2018, this event was held in 
December (refer also to point 5.8.1 of this chapter). 

Finally,  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   “conflict  minerals” (1) sourced 
from  the 
Democratic  Republic  of  the  Congo  or  an  adjoining  country.  The 
document  indicates  whether,  during  the  preceding  calendar  year, 
any such minerals were necessary to the functionality or production 
of  a  product  manufactured  (or  contracted  to  be  manufactured)  by 
the TOTAL S.A. or one of its affiliates had. 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: 
sustainable-performance.total.com or www.sec.gov. 

5.10.3  The Group’s responsible procurement commitments 

5 

Since  2010,  TOTAL  is  a  signatory  to  the  French  Economy  and 
Finances  Ministry’s  Sustainable  Supplier  Relations  Charter,  which 
aims  to  allow  more  sustainable  and  balanced  relations  between 
customers and suppliers. 

Worldwide, a CSR global agreement monitoring Committee (known 
as  the  “FAIR  Committee”)  meets  every  year  in  the  presence  of 
representatives who are members of trade unions affiliated with the 
IndustriALL Global Union and appointed by this federation to monitor 
and implement the agreement. It identifies good practice and areas 
for improvement. In application of the areas for improvement defined 
by  this  Committee,  the  programs  mentioned  earlier  have  already 
been  set  up:  Suppliers  Day,  International  Procurement  Day  and 
trainings in human rights for purchasers. 

Since 2018, TOTAL has been a member of the United Nations Global 
Compact platform on Decent Work in Global Supply Chains, and, in 
this  capacity,  takes  part  in  various  workshops  that  aim  to  help  the 
member companies of the Global Compact to make progress in this 
area. In December 2018, the Group committed to pursuing its efforts 

in  terms  of  decent  work  and  respecting  human  rights  in  its  supply 
chain by signing the “Six Commitments” of the United Nations Global 
Compact. 

The Group’s buyers also take part in international working groups on 
responsible  procurement.  TOTAL  is  an  active  member  of  IPIECA’s 
Supply Chain Working Group. Building on the workshops held since 
2015, TOTAL continued to participate in the Operationalization of the 
UN Guiding Principles work organized by the IPIECA, aimed at both 
oil  and  gas  companies  and  engineering,  procurement  and 
construction (EPC) contractors. 

Finally, the Group pays special attention to the disabled and protected 
employment  sectors.  In  France,  the  Group’s  purchases  from  this 
sector  enabled  the  achievement  of  an  indirect  employment  rate  of 
nearly 1% in 2018. 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  (disabled  or 
protected employment sectors) by geographical area and by category 
(refer to point 5.3.5.3 in this chapter). 

(1)  Rule 13p-1 defines “conflict minerals” as follows (irrespective of their geographical origin): columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite as well as their derivatives, which are 

limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten.

5.11  Reporting scopes and method 

5.11.1  Frameworks 

The Group’s reporting is based: 

—  for  social  indicators,  on  a  practical  handbook  titled  “Corporate 

Social Reporting Protocol and Method”; 

—  for safety indicators, on the Corporate Guidance on Event and 

Statistical Reporting; 

—  for  environmental  indicators,  on  a  Group  reporting  procedure, 

together with segment-specific instructions. 

These  documents  are  available  to  all  companies  of  the  Group  and 
can  be  consulted  at  Corporate  headquarters,  in  the  relevant 
departments. 

5.11.2  Scopes 

Social  reporting  is  based  on  two  surveys:  the  Global  Workforce 
Analysis,  and  the  complementary  Worldwide  Human  Resources 
Survey.  Two  centralized  tools  (Sogreat  and  HR4U)  facilitate 
performance of the above surveys. 

—  The  Global  Workforce  Analysis  is  conducted  once  a  year,  on 
December 31, in all the controlled consolidated Group companies 
(refer  to  Note  18  of  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements, 
chapter 8, point 8.7) having employees, i.e., 326 companies in 
103 countries on December 31, 2018. This 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 at the worldwide 
level.  This  survey  produces  a  breakdown  of  the  workforce  by 
gender,  professional  category  (managers  and  other  employees 
and non- French equivalents), age and nationality. 

—  The Worldwide Human Resources Survey (WHRS) is an annual 
survey which comprises 211 indicators in addition to those used 
in the Global Workforce Analysis. The indicators are selected in 
cooperation  with  the  relevant  counterparties  and  cover  major 
components  of  the  Group  Human  Resources  policy,  such  as 
mobility,  career  management,  training,  work  conditions,  social 
dialogue,  Code  of  Conduct  deployment,  human  rights,  health, 
compensation,  retirement  benefits  and  insurance.  The  survey 
covers a representative sample of the consolidated scope. The 
data  published  in  this  document  are  extracted  from  the  most 
recent survey, carried out in December 2018 and January 2019; 
128  companies  in  54  countries,  of  which  three  new  countries 
Sweden,  Israel  and  Denmark,  representing  89.5%  of  the 
consolidated  Group  workforce  (93,473  employees)  replied  to 
the survey.

Reporting scopes and method  5 

Consolidation method 

For  the  scopes  defined  above,  the  safety  and  social  indicators  are 
fully consolidated. 

Regarding  environmental  indicators  or  indicators  related  to  climate 
change,  the  materiality  thresholds  mentioned  in  point  5.11.2  allow 
for the consolidation of 99% of greenhouse gas emissions and 95% 
of other emissions from the Group’s operated domain, observed for 
fiscal  year  2017.  These  thresholds  are  also  applied  to  greenhouse 
gas  emissions  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. 

Changes in scope 

Social  indicators  are  calculated  on  the  basis  of  the  consolidated 
scope of the Group as of December 31, 2018. These social data are 
presented  on  the  basis  of  the  operational  business  segments 
identified in the 2018 Consolidated Financial Statements. 

Regarding  safety  indicators  and  environmental  indicators  of  point 
5.5.2  of  this  chapter,  acquisitions  are  taken  into  consideration  as 
soon   as   possible,   and   at   the   latest   on  January   1   of   the   following 
year. The following main affiliates or activities, acquired in 2018, are 
not  included  in  this  reporting  this  year,  but  will  be  in  2019:  Direct 
Énergie  (with  the  exception  of  combined  cycle  gas  power  plants 
which have been integrated this year), Global LNG, new networks of 
service stations of Brazil and Mexico M&S affiliates. All facilities sold 
are taken into consideration up to the date of the sale. 

For environmental indicators and indicators related to climate change 
(excluding  indicators  of  point  5.5.2),  acquisitions  are  taken  into 
account as of January 1 of the current year to the extent possible or 
as  of  the  next  fiscal  year.  The  following  main  affiliates  or  activities, 
acquired in 2018, are not included in the reporting of environmental 
or  climate  change  indicators  this  year,  but  will  be  in  2019:  Direct 
Énergie  (with  the  exception  of  combined  cycle  gas  power  plants 
which  have  been  integrated  since  this  year),  Global  LNG,  a  new 
blending activity of the M&S affiliate Total Vostock, new networks of 
service stations of the M&S affiliates in Brazil and Mexico. Any facility 
sold  before  December  31  is  excluded  from  the  Group’s  reporting 
scope for the current year. 

5 

Reporting  on  environmental  indicators  or  indicators  related  to 
climate  change  covers  all  activities,  sites  and  industrial  assets  in 
which  TOTAL  S.A.,  or  one  of  the  companies  it  controls,  is  the 
operator, i.e., either operates or contractually manages the operations 
(“operated domain”). Compared to the scope of consolidation, this 
corresponds to fully consolidated companies, with some exceptions, 
as well as a number of non- fully consolidated entities (1) (2). 

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”, 
includes  all  the  assets  in  which  the  consolidated  entities  have  a 
financial interest or rights to production. 

The  list  of  environmental  indicators  or  indicators  related  to  climate 
change on which an entity must report is drawn up on the basis of 
the materiality thresholds for 2018. These thresholds were calibrated 
in order to report 99% of greenhouse gas emissions and 95% of the 
Group’s  other  emissions  observed  in  2017.  Furthermore,  no  site 
accounting for more than 2% of an indicator excludes this indicator 
from their reports. 

Safety reporting covers all employees of activities, working on sites 
and industrial assets for which TOTAL S.A. or a controlled company 
is  the  operator,  i.e.,  either  operates  or  contractually  manages  the 
operations (“operated domain”), as well as employees of contractors 
working  there,  and  employees  of  transport  companies  under 
long- term  contracts.  Compared  to  the  scope  of  consolidation,  this 
corresponds to fully consolidated companies, with some exceptions, 
as well as a number of non- fully consolidated entities (1) (3). 

Each site submits its safety reporting to the relevant operational entity. 
The data is then consolidated at the business level and every month 
at the Group level. In 2018, the Group safety reporting scope covered 
456 million hours worked, equivalent to approximately 250,000 people. 

Reporting on Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights 
(VPSHR)  covers  the  Group  entities  and  subsidiaries  that  are 
particularly exposed to the disproportionate use of force. It is based 
on an internal survey, whose results are consolidated by the Security 
division. In 2018, the VPSHR report covered approximately 100 entities. 

In  terms  of  safety,  environmental  and  societal  matters  in  the 
non- operated  domain,  Group  entities  and  subsidiaries  holding  an 
interest  in  assets,  activities  or  sites  that  they  do  not  operate  are 
expected  to  promote  the  requirements  of  the  Group’s  framework 
and to encourage the operator to adopt similar requirements. 

5.11.3  Adopted principles 

Indicator selection and relevance 

Consolidation and internal control 

The  data  published  in  the  Registration  Document  are  intended  to 
inform  stakeholders  about  the  Group’s  annual  results  in  social  and 
environmental  responsibility.  The  environmental  indicators  include 
Group  performance  indicators  referring  to  the  IPIECA  reporting 
guidelines, updated in 2015. 

The social, environmental, climate change- related and industrial safety 
data  are  consolidated  and  checked  by  each  business  unit  and 
business  segment,  before  being  checked  at  Group  level.  Data 
pertaining to certain specific indicators are calculated directly by the 
business segments. These processes undergo regular internal audits. 

Methodological specificities 

External verification 

The methodology may be adjusted to in particular due to the diversity 
of TOTAL’s activities, the integration of newly acquired entities, lack 
of  regulations  or  standardized  international  definitions,  practical 
procedures for collecting data, or changes in methods. 

Restatement  of  previous  years’  published  data,  unless  there  is  a 
specific statement, is now limited to changes of methodology. 

The  external  verification  (Article  R.  225- 105- 2  of  the  French 
Commercial  Code)  is  performed  at  the  Group  and  business  levels, 
as well as in a sample of operational entities in and outside France, 
selected each year in line with their relative contribution to the Group, 
previous  years’  results  and  a  risk  analysis.  The  auditors’ 
independence  is  defined  by  regulations  and  the  professions’  Rules 
of Professional Conduct and/or an impartiality Committee. 

(1)  The reporting scope of safety, environmental and climate change indicators also includes the activities of nearly 200 controlled but not consolidated companies. It does not include Basf 

Total Petrochemicals LLC. 

(2)  The scope of the reporting of environmental or climate change related indicators also includes the Khuff and Nasr fields (United Arab Emirates) for which the Group is operator without 
having the right to production, but does not integrate Naphtachimie (Lavéra site), Appryl (Lavera site), fully consolidated. In addition, environmental or climate change indicators have been 
recalculated over the 2016-2018 period, to include data from the Zeeland refinery reintegrated into the operated domaine. 

(3)  The reporting scope of the safety indicators also includes sites not operated by the Group of non-fully consolidated companies: Hanwha Total Petrochemical co. Limited (Daesan and 

Dongguan Sites), Bayport Polymers LLC.

5  NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 

Reporting scopes and method 

5.11.4  Details of certain indicators 

Social definitions and indicators 

Fresh water: water with salinity below 1.5 g/l. 

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. 

Employees present: employees present are employees on the payroll 
of the consolidated scope, less employees who are not present, i.e., 
persons  who  are  under  suspended  contract  (sabbatical,  business 
development leave, etc.), absent on long- term sick leave (more than 
six months), assigned to a company outside the Group, etc. 

Safety definitions and indicators 

TRIR (Total Recordable Injury Rate): number of recorded injuries per 
million hours worked. 

LTIR  (Lost Time Injury Rate): number of lost time injuries per million 
hours worked. 

SIR (Severity Injury Rate): average number of days lost per lost time 
injury. 

GEEI  (Group  Energy  Efficiency  Index):  a  combination  of  energy 
intensity ratios (ratio of net primary energy consumption to the level 
of  activity)  per  business  reduced  to  base  100  in  2010  and 
consolidated with a weighting by each business’s net primary energy 
consumption for Exploration & Production and Refining & Chemicals 
segments (Hutchinson excluded). 

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 IPCC report. HFCs, PFCs and SF6 
are almost absent from the Group’s emissions or are considered as 
non-material, and are therefore no longer counted in 2018. 

GHG based on the Group’s equity interest: GHGs emitted by the 
Group’s  operated  assets  and  non- operated  assets  in  which  the 
Group holds an equity share. In both cases, emissions are reported 
to that equity. Assets with GHG emissions of less than 40 ktCO2e/y 
on  an  equity  basis  are  excluded.  For  non-operated  assets,  TOTAL 
relies on information provided by its partner operators. In cases where 
this information is not available, estimates are made based on past 
data, budget data or by pro rata with similar assets. 

Employees of external contractors: any employee of a contractor 
working at a Group-operated site or assigned by a transport company 
under a long- term contract. 

GHG  scope  1  emissions:  direct  GHG  emissions  from  sources 
located within the boundaries of a site coming under the operated 
domain or in which TOTAL holds a financial interest. 

Tier  1  and  Tier  2:  indicator  of  the  number  of  loss  of  primary 
containment events, with more or less significant consequences, as 
defined by the API 754 (for downstream) and IOGP 456 (for upstream) 
standards. 

Near miss: event which, under slightly different circumstances, could 
have resulted in an accident. The term “potential severity” is used for 
near misses. 

Incidents and near misses are assessed in terms of actual or potential 
severity based on a scale that consists of six levels. Events with an 
actual  or  potential  severity  level  of  four  or  more  are  considered 
serious. 

Environmental or climate change- related definitions 
and indicators 

Non- routine flaring: flaring other than routine flaring and safety flaring 
occurring primarily during occasional and intermittent events. 

Routine  flaring:  flaring  during  normal  production  operations 
conducted  in  the  absence  of  sufficient  facilities  or  adequate 
geological conditions permitting the reinjection, on- site utilization or 
commercialization of produced gas (as defined by the working group 
of the Global Gas Flaring Reduction program within the framework of 
the World Bank’s Zero Routine Flaring initiative). Routine flaring does 
not include safety flaring. 

Safety flaring: flaring to ensure the safe performance of operations 
conducted  at 
(emergency  shutdown, 
safety- related operations etc.). 

the  production  site 

GHG  scope  2  emissions:  indirect  emissions  attributable  to 
brought-in  energy  (electricity,  heat,  steam),  excluding  purchased 
industrial gases (H2). 

GHG  scope  3  emissions:  other  indirect  emissions.  The  Group 
follows the oil & gas industry reporting guidelines published by IPIECA 
and  which  conform  to  the  GHG  Protocol  methodologies.  In  this 
Registration  Document,  only  item  11  of  Scope  3  (use  of  sold 
products),  which  is  the  most  significant,  is  reported.  Emissions  for 
this item are calculated based on sales of finished products for which 
the next stage is end use, in other words, combustion of the products 
to obtain energy. A stoichiometric emission factor is applied to these 
sales (oxidation of molecules to carbon dioxide) to obtain an emission 
volume. 

Carbon  intensity:  This  indicator  measures  the  average  GHG 
emissions of these products, from production in TOTAL facilities to 
end use by customers. This indicator takes into account: 

—  for the numerator: 

–  the emissions connected to the production and conversion of 
energy products used by the customers on the  basis of the 
Group’s average emission rates, 

–  the  emissions  connected  to  the  use  of  sold  products.  For 
each product, stoichiometric emission factors (1) are applied to 
these  sales  to  obtain  an  emission  volume.  Non- fuel  use 
products (bitumen, lubricants, plastics, etc.) are not taken into 
account, 

–  negative emissions stored thanks to CCUS and natural carbon 

sinks; 

Waste:  the  contaminated  soil  excavated  and  removed  from  active 
sites  to  be  treated  externally  is  counted  a  waste.  Drilling  debris, 
mining cuttings or soil polluted in inactive sites are not counted as 
waste. 

—  for  the  denominator:  the  quantity  of  energy  sold,  knowing  that 
electricity is placed on an equal footing with fossil fuels by taking 
into account the average capacity factor and average efficiency 
ratio. 

Hydrocarbon  spills:  spills  with  a  volume  greater  than  1  barrel 
(≈159 liters) are counted. These are accidental spills of which at least 
part of the volume spilled reaches the natural environment (including 
non-waterproof ground). Spills resulting from sabotage or malicious 
acts are included, unless specified otherwise. Spills that do not affect 
the environment are excluded. 

Operated oil & gas facilities: Facilities operated in the Exploration & 
Production,  Refining  &  Chemicals  and  Marketing  &  Services 
segments of the Group. 

(1)  The emission factors used are taken from a technical note from the CDP: Guidance methodology for estimation of scope 3 category 11 emissions for oil and gas companies.

Independent third party’s report  5 

Oil spill preparedness: 

—  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 shores 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.

On the basis of our work, our responsibility is to provide a report expressing a limited assurance conclusion on: 

—  the compliance of the Statement with the provisions of Article R. 225- 105 of the French Commercial Code; 

—  the fairness of the information provided in accordance with Article R. 225 105 I, 3° and II of the French Commercial Code, namely the 
results of the policies, including key performance indicators, and the actions related to the main risks, hereinafter the “Information”. 

However, it is not our responsibility to comment on: 

—  the entity’s compliance with other applicable legal and regulatory provisions, particularly the French duty of care law and anti- corruption 

and tax evasion legislation; 

—  the compliance of products and services with the applicable regulations. 

Nature and scope of the work 

Our work described below has been carried out in accordance with the provisions of Articles A. 225-1 et seq. of the French Commercial Code 
determining the conditions in which the independent third party performs its mission and according to professional standards as well as to the 
international ISAE standard 3000 – Assurance engagements other than audits or reviews of historical financial information. 

The  work  that  we  conducted  allows  us  to  assess  the  compliance  of  the  Statement  with  the  regulatory  provisions  and  the  fairness  of  the 
Information: 

—  we obtained an understanding of the entity’s activities and of all the entities included in the scope of consolidation, the statement of the 
main social and environmental risks related to this activity, and, where applicable, its effects regarding compliance with human rights, 
anti- corruption, tax evasion legislation, as well as the resulting policies and their results; 

—  we  assessed  the  suitability  of  the  Criteria  with  respect  to  their  relevance,  completeness,  reliability,  neutrality  and  understandability  by 

taking into consideration, where relevant, the best practices of the industry; 

—  we verified that the Statement covers each category of information set out in Article L. 225- 102- 1 III of the French Commercial Code 

regarding social and environmental matters, as well as respect of human rights and anti- corruption and tax evasion legislation;

5  NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 

Independent third party’s report 

—  we verified that the Statement includes an explanation justifying the absence of the information required by the 2nd  paragraph of III of 

Article L. 225- 102- 1 of the French Commercial Code; 

—  we verified that the Statement presents the business model and the main risks associated with the activity of the entity and of all the 
entities  included  in  the  scope  of  consolidation;  including,  where  relevant  and  proportionate,  the  risks  associated  with  their  business 
relationships, their products or services, as well as their policies, actions and results, including key performance indicators; 

—  we verified, where relevant with respect to the main risks or the policies presented, that the Statement presents the information required 

under Article R. 225- 105 II of the French Commercial Code; 

—  we assessed the process used to select and validate the main risks; 

—  we  inquired  about  the  existence  of  internal  control  and  risk  management  procedures  put  in  place  by  the  entity  and  of  all  the  entities 

included in the scope of consolidation; 

—  we assessed the consistency of the results and the key performance indicators with respect to the main risks and policies presented; 

—  we verified that the Statement includes a clear and reasoned explanation for the absence of a policy regarding one or more of those risks; 

—  we verified that the Statement covers the consolidated scope, i.e., all the companies included in the scope of consolidation in accordance 

with Article L. 233- 16 of the French Commercial Code, with the limits specified in the Statement; 

—  we assessed the collection process implemented by the entity to ensure the completeness and fairness of the Information; 

—  we implemented for the key performance indicators and other quantitative results that we considered to be the most important presented 

in Appendix 1: 
–  analytical procedures to verify the correct consolidation of the data collected as well as the consistency of their evolutions, 
–  detailed tests based on samples, consisting of checking the correct application of the definitions and procedures and reconciling the 
data with the supporting documents. This work was carried out with a selection of contributing entities listed hereafter: Total Gabon, 
Total E&P Myanmar, Antwerp Refinery, Leuna Refinery, SunPower Philippines Manufacturing Limited, Saft S.A.S site of Poitiers, Total 
Philippines Corporation, Total Marketing Gabon which cover between 5% and 28% of the consolidated data selected for these tests 
(5% of total workforce, 21% of direct operated GHG emissions (scope 1), 25% of freshwater withdrawals, 28% of waste); 

—  we  consulted  documentary  sources  and  conducted  interviews  to  corroborate  the  qualitative  information  (actions  and  results)  that  we 

considered the most important presented in Appendix 1; 

—  we assessed the overall consistency of the Statement based on our knowledge of all the entities included in the scope of consolidation. 

We  believe  that  the  work  we  have  carried  out,  based  on  our  professional  judgment  allows  us  to  express  a  limited  assurance  conclusion; 
a higher level of assurance would have required more extensive verification work. 

Means and resources 

Our verification work mobilized the skills of nine people and took place between September 2018 and March 2019 on a total duration of 
intervention of about thirty weeks. 

We conducted interviews with around twenty persons responsible for the preparation of the Statement including in particular the divisions 
Strategy & Climate, Legal Affairs, HSE, Human Resources, Civil Society Engagement, Support & Purchasing Performance. 

Conclusion 

Based  on  our  work,  we  have  not  identified  any  significant  misstatement  that  causes  us  not  to  believe  that  the  consolidated  non-financial 
statement complies with the applicable regulatory provisions and that the Information, taken together, is fairly presented, in compliance with 
the Criteria.

6.1.2.4  Arkema spin-of 

Within the framework of the spin-off of Arkema’s chemical activities 
from  the  Group’s  other  chemical  activities,  TOTAL  S.A.’s  Annual 
Shareholders’  Meeting  on  May  12,  2006,  approved  TOTAL  S.A.’s 
contribution  to  Arkema,  under  the  regulation  governing  spin-offs, 
of all its interests in the businesses included under Arkema’s scope, 
as well as the allocation for each TOTAL share (prior to share division 
by  4)  of  an  allotment  right  for  Arkema  shares,  with  ten  allotment 
rights  entitling  the  holder  to  one  Arkema  share.  Additionally,  since 
May 18, 2006, Arkema’s shares have been traded on Euronext Paris. 

In  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  the  notice  prior  to  the  sale  of 
unclaimed  shares  (“Avis  préalable  à  la  mise  en  vente  de  titres  non
réclamés”) published on August 3, 2006, in the French newspaper Les
Échos,  Arkema shares corresponding to allotment rights for fractional
shares  which  were  unclaimed  as  of  August  3,  2008,  were  sold  on
Euronext Paris at an average price of €32.5721 per share. BNP Paribas
Securities Services paid an indemnity to the financial intermediaries
on remittance of corresponding allotment rights for Arkema shares.

Since  March  1,  2019,  the  unclaimed  amounts  were  transferred  to 
the French Caisse des dépôts et consignations, where the holders are 
still able to claim them for a period of 20 years. Past this time limit, 
the amounts will permanently become the property of the French State.

6.2.1  Dividend policy 

6.2.1.1  Dividend payment policy 

Dividends for the fiscal year 2019 

On October 28, 2010, TOTAL S.A.’s Board of Directors adopted a 
policy based on quarterly dividend payments starting in fiscal year 2011. 

The  decision  of  TOTAL  S.A.’s  subsidiaries  to  declare  dividends  is 
made by their relevant Shareholders’ Meetings and is subject to the 
provisions of applicable local laws and regulations. As of December 
31,  2018,  there  is  no  restriction  under  such  provisions  that  would 
materially  restrict  the  distribution  to  TOTAL  S.A.  of  the  dividends 
declared by those subsidiaries. 

6.2.1.2  Fiscal year 2018 and 2019 dividends 

Dividends for the fiscal year 2018 

TOTAL  S.A.  decided  on  the  distribution  and  the  payment  of  the 
following interim dividends with respect to fiscal year 2018: 

—  on September 19, 2018, the Board of Directors decided on the 
payment  of  the  first  interim  dividend  for  fiscal  year  2018  of 
€0.64 per share and set the issuance price of the new shares 
likely to be then issued at €52.95 per share, equal to 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 interim dividend, without a discount, and rounded 
up  to  the  nearest  cent.  The  ex- dividend  date  of  this  interim 
dividend was September 25, 2018, and the payment in cash or 
new shares was made on October 12, 2018; 

—  on December 12, 2018, the Board of Directors decided on the 
payment  of  the  second  interim  dividend  for  fiscal  year  2018  of 
€0.64 per share and set the issuance price of the new shares 
likely to be then issued at €48.27 per share, equal to 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, without a discount and 
rounded  up  to  the  nearest  cent.  The  ex- dividend  date  of  this 
interim  dividend  was  December  18,  2018,  and  the  payment  in 
cash or new shares was made on January 10, 2019. 

On March 13, 2019, the Board of Directors decided on the payment 
of the third interim dividend for fiscal year 2018 of €0.64 per share 
and set the issuance price of the newly issued shares at €49.30 per 
share. The ex- dividend date will be March 19, 2019, and this interim 
dividend will be paid on April 5, 2019 in cash or in new shares of the 
Company. 

In addition, after closing the 2018 statutory accounts, the Board of 
Directors decided on February 6, 2019, to propose to the Shareholders’ 
Meeting on May 29, 2019, an annual dividend of €2.56 per share for 
fiscal year 2018. Subject to the decision of the Shareholders’ Meeting 
and in light of the first three interim dividends decided by the Board 
of Directors, the final dividend for the fiscal year 2018 will be €0.64 per 
share,  which  is  equal  to  the  amount  of  the  three  interim  dividends 
for the fiscal year 2018. The ex- dividend date of the final dividend will 
be June 11, 2019, and the payment date will be June 13, 2019. The 
Board of Directors also decided on February 6, 2019, to propose to 
this Meeting that the final 2018 dividend be paid exclusively in cash. 

Subject to the applicable legislative and regulatory provisions, as well 
as  the  pending  approval  by  the  Board  of  Directors  and  by  the 
Shareholders’  Meeting  to  be  held  on  May  29,  2019,  the  ex- date 
calendar for the interim dividends and the final dividend for the fiscal 
year 2019 is expected to be as follows:

6.2.1.3  Shareholder return policy over the 

2018- 2020 period 

The Board of Directors met on February 7, 2018 and reviewed the 
cash flow allocation, including the shareholder return policy, for the 
2018- 2020 period. 

On  this  occasion,  the  Board  of  Directors  approved  a  capital 
investment  program  of  $15- 17  billion  per  year,  set  an  objective  to 
maintain the net- debt- to- capital ratio (net debt / shareholders’ equity 
+ net debt) below 20% with a grade A credit rating and also proposed 
the following measures: 

1. 

Increasing the dividend by 10% over the 2018- 2020 period 

–  distribution of the full- year 2017 dividend of €2.48 per share 
proposed  to  the  Shareholders’  Meeting,  corresponding  to  a 
final  dividend  of  €0.62  per  share  and  an  increase  of  1.2% 
compared to the full- year 2016 dividend (€2.45 per share); 
–  distribution  of  the  2018  interim  dividends  proposed  to  the 
Shareholders’ Meeting, increased by 3.2% to €0.64 per share, 
corresponding to a full- year 2018 dividend of €2.56 per share; 

–  full- year 2020 dividend target of €2.72 per share. 

2.  Buying  back  shares  issued  with  no  discount  under  the  scrip 

dividend option 

–  maintain  the  scrip  dividend  option  in  response  to  certain 
shareholders’  preference,  but  with  no  discount  on  the  issue 
price compared to the market price; 

–  buy back the shares issued in 2018 in order to cancel them, 
neutralizing the dilution related to the scrip dividend option; 
–  immediate  buyback  of  the  shares  issued  in  January  2018 
as part the scrip dividend option of the second 2017 interim 
dividend. 

3. 

In addition to the buyback of shares issued as part of the scrip 
dividend,  buyback  program  of  up  to  $5  billion  over  the  period 
2018- 2020 

–  the amount of buyback will be adjusted to the oil price over 

the period; 

–  shares bought back in 2018 (excluding shares issued as scrip 

dividend): 24,721,940, for an amount of $1.5 billion. 

The  Board  of  Directors  met  on  February  6,  2019,  confirmed  the 
program announced in 2018 and proposed the following measures: 

–  given the strong financial position of the Group, non- renewal 
of the scrip dividend option beginning with the payment of the 
final 2018 dividend; 

–  distribution of the 2019 interim dividends of €0.66 per share, 
an increase of 3.1% compared to the 2018 interim dividends, 
with  the  intent  to  propose  to  the  Shareholders’  Meeting  a 
full- year 2019 dividend of €2.64, which will therefore be paid 
exclusively in cash; 

–  buyback of all shares issued in 2019 for the payment of the 

2018 interim dividends; 

–  buyback  of  shares,  in  a  $60/b  Brent  environment,  for  an 
amount of $1.5 billion for 2019 as part of the $5 billion buyback 
program over the period 2018- 2020.

6.2.2  Dividend payment 

BNP  Paribas  Securities  Services  manages  the  payment  of  the

Share buybacks 

6.3.3.2  Legal framework 

Implementation  of  this  share  buyback  program,  which  is  covered 
by  Articles  L.  225- 209  et  seq.  of  the  French  Commercial  Code, 
Article 241- 1 et seq. of the General Regulation of the AMF) and the 

provisions of Regulation (EU) N°596/2014 on market abuse, is subject 
to  approval  by  the  TOTAL  S.A.  Annual  Shareholders’  Meeting  on 
May 29, 2019, under the fourth 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  et  seq.  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  and  of 
Regulation (EU) N°596/2014 of April 16, 2014, on market abuse 
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  at  the  date  of  the 
operations under consideration, except during any public offering 
periods applying to the Company’s share capital. 

The maximum purchase price is set at €80 per share. 

In the case of a share capital increase by incorporation of reserves 
or  free  share  grants  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 composing the capital as of the date on 
which this authorization is used. This limit of 10% is applicable to 
the  share  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 subsidiaries. 

As  of  December  31,  2018,  out  of  the  2,640,602,007  shares 
outstanding, the Company held 32,473,281 shares directly. Under 
these  circumstances,  the  maximum  number  of  shares  that  the 
Company  could  buy  back  is  231,586,919  shares  and  the 
maximum amount that the Company may spend to acquire such 
shares is €18,526,953,520.00 (excluding acquisition fees). 

The  purpose  of  this  share  buyback  program  is  to  reduce  the 
number  of  outstanding  shares  of  the  Company  or  to  allow  it  to 
fulfill its engagements in connection with: 

—  convertible or exchangeable securities that may give holders 
rights to receive shares of the Company upon conversion or 
exchange; and / or 

—  share  purchase  option  plans,  employee  shareholding  plans, 
Company  Savings  Plans  or  other  share  allocation  programs 
for executive directors or employees of the Company or Group 
companies. 

The purpose of buybacks may also be the implementation of the 
market  practice  accepted  by  the  French  Financial  Markets 
Authority  (Autorité  des  marchés  financiers),  i.e.,  support  the 
secondary  market  or  the  liquidity  of  TOTAL  shares  by  an 
investment  services  provider  by  means  of  a  liquidity  agreement 
compliant with the deontology charter recognized by the French 
Financial Markets Authority (Autorité des marchés financiers). 

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 under the applicable law or any other permitted 
market  practice  that  may  be  authorized  at  the  date  of  the 
operations under consideration. 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: 

—  canceled, up to the maximum legal limit of 10% of the total 
number  of  shares  composing  the  capital  on  the  date  of  the 
operation, per each 24- month period; 

—  granted  for  no  consideration  to  the  employees  and  to  the 
executive directors of the Company or of other companies of 
the Group; 

—  delivered  to  the  beneficiaries  of  the  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; 
and 

—  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. 

This authorization is granted for an 18-month period from the date 
of  this  Meeting.  It  renders  ineffective,  up  to  the  unused  portion, 
any previous authorization having the same purpose. 

The  Board  of  Directors  is  hereby  granted  full  authority,  with  the 
right  to  sub- delegate  such  authority,  to  undertake  all  actions 
authorized by this resolution.”

6.3.3.3 Conditions

Conditions for buybacks

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 provided by the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on
June 1, 2018, may not exceed 10% of the total number of shares
composing the capital, 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  granted  by
the  Annual  Shareholders’  Meeting  on  June  1,  2018,  based  on
the  number  of  shares  outstanding  as  of  December  31,  2018
(2,640,602,007  shares),  and  given  the  32,473,281  shares  held  by
the  Company  as  of  December  31,  2018,  i.e.,  1.23%  of  the  share
capital,  the  maximum  number  of  shares  that  may  be  purchased
would  be  231,586,919,  representing  a  theoretical  maximum
investment  of  €18,526,953,520  (excluding  acquisition  fees)  based
on the maximum purchase price of €80.

Such  shares  may  be  bought  back  by  any  means  on  regulated
markets,  multilateral  trading  facilities  or  over  the  counter,  including
through the purchase or sale of blocks of shares, under the conditions
authorized by the relevant market authorities. These means include
the use of any financial derivative instrument traded on a regulated
market  or  over  the  counter  and  the  implementation  of  option
strategies,  with  the  Company  taking  measures,  however,  to  avoid
increasing the volatility of its stock. The portion of the program carried
out through the purchase of blocks of shares will not be subject to
quota  allocation,  up  to  the  limit  set  by  this  resolution.  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.

Duration and schedule of the share buyback program

In accordance with the fourth resolution, which will be submitted to
the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on May 29, 2019, the share buyback
program  may  be  implemented  over  an  18- month  period  following
the date of this Meeting, i.e. until November 28, 2020.

The management of each of the Collective investment funds (FCPEs) 
mentioned  above  is  controlled  by  a  dedicated  Supervisory  Board, 
two thirds of its members representing holders of fund units and one 
third representing the Company. The Supervisory Board is responsible 
for  reviewing  the  Collective  investment  fund’s  management  report 
and annual financial statements, as well as the financial, administrative 
and  accounting  management  of  the  fund,  exercising  voting  rights 
attached to portfolio securities, deciding contributions of securities in 
case  of  a  public  tender  offer,  deciding  mergers,  spin- offs  or 
liquidations,  and  granting  its  approval  prior  to  changes  in  the  rules 
and procedures of the Collective investment fund in the conditions 
provided for by the rules and procedures. 

These rules and procedures also stipulate a simple majority vote for 
decisions, except for decisions requiring a qualified majority vote of 
two- thirds  plus  one  related  to  a  change  in  a  fund’s  rules  and 
procedures, its conversion or disposal. 

For  employees  holding  shares  outside  of  the  employee  collective 
investment  funds  mentioned  in  the  table  above,  voting  rights  are 
exercised individually. 

The  information  regarding  shares  held  by  the  administration  and 
management bodies is set forth in point 4.1.6 of chapter 4. 

6.4.3  Shareholding structure

Information  for  holders  of  TOTAL  ADR,  representing  American
Depositary  Shares,  is  provided  in  TOTAL’s  annual  report  on  Form 

20- F filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. 

6.5.2  Non- resident shareholders (other than American shareholders) 

The information set forth below is a general overview. Shareholders 
are invited to consult their own tax advisor to determine the applicable 
procedures,  the  effect  of  tax  treaties  and,  more  generally,  the  tax 
impacts  applicable  to  their  particular  situation.  Furthermore,  the 
following summary does not address the tax treatment applicable as 
from July 1, 2019 to temporary transfers of shares and other similar 
transactions  which  could,  under  certain  conditions,  fall  within  the 
scope of the new anti- abuse measures set forth in Article 119 bis A 
of the French Tax Code. 

Dividend 

Dividends  distributed  by  TOTAL  S.A.  are,  in  principle,  subject  to  a 
withholding tax in France at a rate of 30% (1)  when they are paid to 
non- resident legal entities shareholders and, since January 1, 2018, 
12.8%  when  they  are  paid  to  individual  shareholders,  subject  to 
compliance with certain formalities. This rate is increased to 75% for 
income paid outside France in a Non- Cooperative Country or Territory 
(“NCCT”), as defined by the French Tax Code (Article 238- 0 A). 

However,  under  many  bilateral  international  tax  treaties  signed 
between  France  and  other  countries  for  the  avoidance  of  double 
taxation  (“Tax  Treaties”)  and  subject  to  specific  conditions,  the 
withholding tax rate is reduced or withholding tax is not applicable in 
cases where dividends are paid to a shareholder resident in one of 
the  countries  that  signed  such  Tax  Treaties  (for  example,  15%  for 
dividends paid to shareholders resident of Austria, Belgium, Canada, 
Germany,  Indonesia,  Ireland,  Italy,  Luxembourg,  the  Netherlands, 
Norway,  Singapore,  South  Africa,  Spain,  Switzerland,  the  United 
Kingdom and the United States; 10% for dividends paid by a French 
company  to  a  resident  of  China,  India  or  Japan;  no  French 
withholding tax for dividends paid to a resident of Qatar or the United 
Arab Emirates). 

Taxation  of  dividends  outside  France  varies  according  to  each 
country’s  respective  tax  legislation.  In  most  countries,  the  gross 
amount of dividends is included in the shareholder’s taxable income. 
Based on certain requirements and limitations, the French withholding 

tax deducted from dividends may result in a tax credit being applied 
to the foreign income tax payable by the shareholder. However, there 
are some exceptions. 

Excluding exceptions, dividends paid in shares and dividends paid in 
cash have the same tax treatment. 

Taxation on sales of shares 

Capital  gains  on  sales  of  shares  realized  by  shareholders  resident 
outside France are generally exempt from income tax in France. Two 
exceptions  are  provided,  without  any  threshold  condition:  one  for 
sales of shares where the seller owns a permanent establishment or 
a fixed base in France to which his or her shares are attached, and 
the other for sales carried out by individuals or organizations resident 
or established in a NCCT. 

The shareholder may, nevertheless, be taxed on the capital gain or 
loss  on  the  sale  of  shares  in  his  or  her  country  of  residence. 
Shareholders are invited to consult their own tax advisor to confirm 
the applicable tax treatment. 

A financial transactions tax (“FTT”) applies, except under exceptional 
circumstances,  to  purchases  of  shares  of  companies  listed  on  a 
French,  European  or  foreign  regulated  market,  provided  that  the 
purchase  results  in  a  transfer  of  ownership  and  that  the  securities 
are issued by a French company whose market capitalization exceeds 
€1 billion as of December 1 of the year preceding the year of taxation. 

The FTT also applies to securities representing shares of stock issued 
by a company. Transactions carried out on certificates representing 
shares, such as ADRs and European Depositary Receipts, are therefore 
subject to this tax. 

The FTT equals 0.3% of the share purchase price, as of January 1, 2017. 

In principle, sales of shares of French companies are also subject to 
a French stamp duty. However, French law provides that stamp duties 
are not applicable to transactions subject to the FTT. 

(1)  According to French Finance Act for 2018, this 30% withholding tax rate is to be aligned with the standard corporate income tax rate, which should be reduced to 28% as from January 1, 2020, 

26.5% as from January 1, 2021 and 25% as from January 1, 2022.

6.6.2  Relationships with institutional investors, financial analysts and 

individual shareholders 

Members of the Group’s General Management and Investor Relations 
regularly meet with institutional investors and financial analysts in the 
leading  financial  centers  throughout  the  world.  In  2018,  the  Group 
organized more than 1,000 meetings. 

Each  year,  two  main  presentations  are  given  to  the  financial 
community: one in February following the publication of the results 
for  the  previous  fiscal  year,  and  one  in  September  to  present  the 
Group’s  outlook  and  objectives.  A  series  of  meetings  is  held  after 
each of these presentations. In addition, each year the Chief Financial 
Officer  hosts  three  conference  calls  to  discuss  results  for  the  first, 
second and third quarters of the year. 

The information presented and broadcast at these events is available 
on the Group’s website. 

With a dedicated team, the Group maintains an active dialogue with 
shareholders  in  the  field  of  Corporate  Social  Responsibility  (CSR) 
and governance. Around 100 meetings covering these themes were 
organized in France and worldwide in 2018. 

In  addition,  the  Group  has  a  team  dedicated  to  relationships  with 
individual shareholders. This department, which is ISO 9001 certified, 
offers a comprehensive communication package, featuring: 

—  a direct line, e- mail address, and postal address (refer to point 

6.6.6 of this chapter); 

—  documentation and material provided for individual shareholders 
(e.g., the shareholders’ newsletter, individual shareholders pages 
available on the Company’s website, and a Total Investors mobile 
app for digital tablets and smartphones); 

—  shareholder  meetings  and  investor  fairs  held  in  France  and 

worldwide; 

—  the  Shareholders’  Club,  which  organizes  visits  to  industrial 
facilities, visits to natural sites and cultural events sponsored by 
the Total Foundation, and conferences about the Group; 

—  the  Shareholders’  e- Advisory  Committee,  which  expresses  its 

views on the communication service as a whole. 

This team also organizes the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, which 
was held on June 1, 2018, at the Palais des Congrès in Paris and 
attended by nearly 3,000 people. 

The  documentation  on  relationships  with  individual  shareholders  is 
available  on  the  Company’s  website  total.com  (under  Investors/ 
Individual shareholders).

6.6.3  Registered shareholding 

TOTAL shares can be held in bearer form or registered form. In the 
latter case, shareholders are identified by TOTAL S.A., in its capacity 
as the issuer, or by its agent, BNP Paribas Securities Services, which 
is responsible for keeping the register of shareholders’ registered shares. 

Registered shares 

There are two forms of registration: 

—  administered registered shares: shares are registered with TOTAL 
through BNP Paribas Securities Services, but the holder’s financial 
intermediary  continues  to  administer  them  (sales,  purchases, 
coupons, etc.); 

—  pure  registered  shares:  TOTAL  holds  and  directly  administers 
shares on behalf of the holder through BNP Paribas Securities 
Services  (sales,  purchases,  coupons,  Shareholders’  Meeting 
notices, etc.), so that the shareholder does not need to appoint 
a financial intermediary. 

Main advantages of registered shares 

The advantages of registered shares include: 

—  double voting rights if the shares are held continuously for more 
than two successive years (refer to point 7.2.4.1 of chapter 7); 

—  a number for all contacts with BNP Paribas Securities Services 
(a toll- free call within France from a landline): 0 800 117 000 or 
+33 1 40 14 80 61 (from outside France); from Monday to Friday 
(business days), from 8:45 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., GMT+1; 

—  registration  as  a  recipient  of  all  information  published  by  the 

Group for its shareholders; 

—  the  ability  to  join  the  TOTAL  Shareholders’  Club  by  holding  at 

least 50 shares.

Investor relations 

The  advantages  of  pure  registered  shares,  in  addition  to  those  of
administered registered shares, include: 

—  the option to view and manage shareholdings online and via the 

Planetshares app for digital tablets. 

—  no custodial fees; 

—  easier placement of market orders (1)  (phone, mail, fax, internet); 

—  brokerage fees of 0.20% (before tax) of the gross amount of the 
trade, with no minimum charge and up to €1,000 per trade; 

To convert TOTAL shares into pure registered shares, shareholders 
must  fill  out  a  form  that  can  be  obtained  upon  request  from  the 
Individual  Shareholder  Relations  Department  and  send  it  to  their 
financial intermediary.

GENERAL INFORMATION 

Share capital  

7.1  Share capital 

7.1.1  Share capital as of December 31, 2018 

As  of  December  31,  2018,  the  share  capital  amounted  to
€6,601,505,017.50, consisting of 2,640,602,007 (1)  ordinary shares,

with a nominal value of €2.50 per share. All the shares issued have 
been fully paid up. 

7.1.2  Features of the shares 

There is a single category of shares. A double voting right is granted 
under certain conditions (refer to point 7.2.4.1 of this chapter) to every 
shareholder. 

The  shares  are  registered  or  in  bearer  form,  at  the  shareholder’s 
discretion.  The  shares  are  in  book- entry  form  and  registered  in  an 
account. 

7.1.3  Potential capital as of December 31, 2018 

The potential share capital is made up of the existing share capital to 
which are added the new TOTAL shares that could be issued in the 
event of (i) the conversion or reimbursement in shares of all the rights 
giving access to the share capital, and (ii) the exercise of all the share 
subscription options. 

As of December 31, 2018, the only existing financial instruments likely 
to result in the creation of new TOTAL shares were the 265,230 TOTAL 

share subscription options that may be exercised at this date. These 
options  were  awarded  on  September  14,  2011,  under  the  plan 
decided by the Board of Directors. 

The table below shows the theoretical evolution in the share capital 
of TOTAL S.A. in view of the maximum potential for the creation of 
shares by exercising the 265,230 share subscription options existing 
as of December 31, 2018.

7.2.3  Provisions of the bylaws governing the administration and management 

bodies 

7.2.3.1  Election of directors and term of ofce 

7.2.3.2  Age limit of directors 

Directors are elected by the Shareholders’ Meeting for a 3- year term 
up  to  a  maximum  number  of  directors  authorized  by  law  (currently 
18), subject to the legal provisions that allow the term to be extended 
until the next Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting called to approve the 
financial statements for the previous fiscal year. 

On  the  closing  date  of  each  fiscal  year,  the  number  of  individual 
directors over the age of 70 may not be greater than one third of the 
directors in office. If this percentage is exceeded, the oldest Board 
member  is  automatically  considered  to  have  resigned.  The  director 
permanent representative of a legal entity must be under 70 years old. 

In addition, one director representing the employee shareholders is 
also elected by the Shareholders’ Meeting for a 3- year term from a 
list  of  at  least  two  candidates  pre- selected  by  the  employee 
shareholders  under  the  conditions  provided  for  by  the  laws, 
regulations and bylaws in force. However, his or her term shall expire 
automatically  once  this  Director  is  no  longer  an  employee  or  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 (1).  Where  the  number  of 
directors  appointed  by  the  Shareholders’  Meeting  is  greater  than 
12 (2), 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 Company 
or one of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, whose registered office is 
based in mainland France, for at least two years prior to appointment. 
The  second  director  elected  by  the  European  Works  Council  must 
have held an employment contract with the Company or one of its 
direct  or  indirect  subsidiaries  for  at  least  two  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  Ordinary  Shareholders’  Meeting  called  to  approve  the  financial 
statements for the last fiscal year and held in the year during which 
the said director’s term of office expires. 

7.2.3.3  Age limit of the Chairman of the Board and 

the Chief Executive Ofcer 

The duties of the Chairman of the Board automatically cease on his 
or her 70th  birthday at the latest. 

To hold this office, the Chief Executive Officer must be under the age 
of 67. When the age limit is reached during his or her duties, such 
duties automatically cease, and the Board of Directors elects a new 
Chief Executive Officer. However, his or her duties as Chief Executive 
Officer will continue until the date of the Board of Directors’ meeting 
aimed  at  electing  his  or  her  successor.  Subject  to  the  age  limit 
specified above, the Chief Executive Officer can always be re- elected. 

The  age  limits  specified  above  are  stipulated  in  the  Company’s 
bylaws.  They  were  approved  by  the  Annual  Shareholders’  Meeting 
held on May 16, 2014. 

7.2.3.4  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 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

Article  L.  214- 165  of  the  French  Monetary  and  Financial  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. 

7.2.3.5  Majority rules 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. 

7.2.3.6  Rules of procedure and Committees of the 

Board of Directors 

Refer to point 4.1.2 of chapter 4 of this Registration Document. 

7.2.3.7  Form of management 

Management of the Company is assumed either by the Chairman of 
the Board of Directors (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  the  positions  of  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  of 
TOTAL S.A. as of December 19, 2015. Since that date, Mr. Pouyanné 
has  held  the  position  of  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  of 
TOTAL  S.A.  As  the  Shareholders’  Meeting  held  on  June  1,  2018 
renewed  Mr.  Pouyanné  as  a  director  for  a  three- year  period,  the 
Board of Directors decided to renew Mr. Pouyanné in his positions 
as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TOTAL S.A. for the same 
period. For additional information on the governance structure, refer 
to point 4.1.5.1 in chapter 4. 

7.2.4  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, as well as 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. 

7.2.4.1  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  share  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. 

7.2.4.2  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. 

Additionally, 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. 

7.2.4.3  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. 

7.2.4.4  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,  as  well  as  all  provisions  for  commercial 
and industrial contingencies. 

From  this  profit,  minus  prior  losses,  if  any,  the  following  items  are 
deducted in the order indicated: 

—  5% to constitute the legal reserve fund, until said fund reaches 

10% of the share capital; 

—  the amounts set by the Shareholders’ Meeting in order 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. 

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.

(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).

GENERAL INFORMATION 

Articles of incorporation and bylaws; other information 

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. 

7.2.5  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. 

7.2.6  Shareholders’ Meetings 

Refer to point 4.4.3 in chapter 4 for the terms and conditions of the notice and admission to Shareholders’ Meetings. 

7.2.7 

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. 

7.2.8  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 as from the crossing of each threshold, 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. 

7.2.9  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 preemptive 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 preemptive subscription right.

8.1  Statutory auditors' report on the Consolidated 

Financial Statements 

This is a translation into English of the statutory auditors’ report on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company issued in French 
and  it  is  provided  solely  for  the  convenience  of  English- speaking  users.  This  statutory  auditors’  report  includes  information  required  by 
European regulations and French law, such as information about the appointment of the statutory auditors or verification of the information 
concerning the Group presented in the management report. This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed in accordance 
with, French law and professional auditing standards applicable in France. 

To the Annual General Meeting of TOTAL S.A., 

Opinion 

In  compliance  with  the  engagement  entrusted  to  us  by  your  Annual  General  Meeting,  we  have  audited  the  accompanying  Consolidated 
Financial Statements of TOTAL S.A. for the year ended December 31, 2018. 

In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities and of the financial position of the 
Group  as  at  December  31,  2018  and  of  the  results  of  its  operations  for  the  year  then  ended  in  accordance  with  International  Financial 
Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. 

The audit opinion expressed above is consistent with our report to the Audit Committee. 

Basis for Opinion 

Audit Framework 

We conducted our audit in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained 
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Statutory Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated 
Financial Statements section of our report. 

Independence 

We conducted our audit engagement in compliance with independence rules applicable to us, for the period from January 1, 2018 to the date 
of our report and specifically we did not provide any prohibited non- audit services referred to in Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 
or in the French Code of Ethics (Code de déontologie) for statutory auditors. 

Justification of Assessments – Key Audit Matters 

In accordance with the requirements of Articles L. 823- 9 and R. 823- 7 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce) relating to the 
justification of our assessments, we inform you of the key audit matters relating to risks of material misstatement that, in our professional judgment, 
were of most significance in our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the current period, as well as how we addressed those risks. 

These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion 
thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on specific items of the Consolidated Financial Statements. 

Impairment testing of Exploration & Production segment non- current assets 

Risk identified 

As at December 31, 2018, the non- current assets of the Exploration 
& Production segment mainly comprised property, plant and equipment, 
and intangible assets. 

The net carrying amount of these assets totaled 117 billion US dollars, 
corresponding  to  45%  of  the  Group’s  assets.  They  mainly  include 
exploration  wells,  mining  rights,  hydrocarbon  production  assets  for 
exploration and production, and goodwill allocated to Exploration & 
Production segment. 

The Group performs impairment tests on these assets. The testing 
methods  are  described  in  Note  3.D  to  the  Consolidated  Financial 
Statements. 

We  considered  the  measurement  of  Exploration  &  Production 
segment  non- current  assets  to  be  a  key  audit  matter  given  the 
materiality  of  these  assets  in  the  Group’s  financial  statements  and 
also  because  calculating  their  recoverable  amount  based  on 
discounted  future  cash  flows  requires  the  use  of  assumptions, 
estimates and significant assessments by Management, as presented 
in Note 3.D to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 

Specifically, continued low prices of hydrocarbons would adversely 
affect  the  Group’s  net  income  and  could  significantly  impact  the 
recoverable amount of Exploration & Production segment assets. 

Management  assesses  the  recoverable  amount  of  Exploration  & 
Production  segment  property,  plant  and  equipment  and  intangible 
assets  based  on  the  cash- generating  unit  (“CGU”)  that  includes  all 
the hydrocarbon sites and industrial assets involved in the production, 
processing and extraction of hydrocarbons (excluding goodwill tested 

Our response 

Our works consisted in: 

—  analyzing whether there was an indication of impairment for these 

assets (except for goodwill tested at least annually); 

—  obtaining an understanding of the procedures used to implement 
the impairment tests decided by the Executive Committee, including 
the test of the recoverable amount of the Mærsk Oil goodwill; 

—  analyzing the valuation models used. 

We  also  analyzed  the  key  assumptions  used  to  determine  the 
recoverable amount of the related assets: 

—  the  hydrocarbon  pricing  scenarios  used  by  the  Group  were 
assessed based on data from reports issued by independent experts; 

—  we performed an independent re- calculation of the discount rate 
used  for  future  cash  flows,  which  we  reconciled  with  the  rates 
calculated by major financial analysts. 

The information and assumptions used to determine the recoverable 
amount  were  also  analyzed  to  assess  their  consistency  with  the 
budgets and forecasts prepared by Management and approved by 
the  Executive  Committee  and  the  Board  of  Directors,  and  during 
interviews with members of the Executive Committee. 

In  addition,  we  analyzed  the  data  underlying  the  future  cash  flows 
taken into account to determine the recoverable amount of all assets 
of the CGUs that are at risk of impairment: 

—  oil production profiles were reconciled with the probable reserves 

established as part of the Group’s internal procedures; 

250 

TOTAL  Registration Document 2018

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

at Exploration & Production segment level). The recoverable amount 
was  measured  for  each  CGU,  taking  into  account  the  economic 
business environment and Executive Management’s operating plans. 

—  assumptions  of  future  operating  costs  and  capital  expenditure 
required to complete production assets were compared with the 
budget and the long- term plan approved by Management; 

The  main  assumptions  used  by  Management  to  measure  the 
recoverable  amount  include  the  following  (as  stated  in  the 
aforementioned Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements): 

— the future price of hydrocarbons; 
—  the operating costs; 
— the estimates of hydrocarbon reserves; 
—  the future production volumes and sales; 
—  the after-tax discount rate. 

—  asset- specific  risks  were  assessed  according  to  geographic 

location and oil deposit maturity; 

— we  assessed  the  consistency  of  the  tax  rates  used  with 

applicable tax schemes and the oil agreements in force. 

Finally, we assessed the appropriateness of the information provided 
in  Note  3.D  –  “Asset  impairment”  to  the  Consolidated  Financial
Statements. 

Effect of estimated proved and proved developed hydrocarbon reserves on the recognition 
of Exploration & Production segment assets 

Risk identified 

Our response 

Proved reserves are the quantities of oil and gas which, by analysis 
of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable 
certainty to be commercially recoverable, before the contracts giving 
the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that this right 
renewal is reasonably certain. 

Proved reserves and proved developed reserves, which are estimated 
by the Group’s petroleum engineers in accordance with industry best 
practice  and  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (SEC)  rules  (as 
set forth in the Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements entitled 
“Major judgments and accounting estimates”), change according to 
production, and the price of hydrocarbons. 

We  considered  the  effect  of  estimates  of  proved  and  proved 
developed  hydrocarbon  reserves  to  be  a  key  audit  matter  for  the 
following reasons: 

—  these  estimates  are  an  essential  part  of  accounting  for  the 
Group’s  oil  activities,  particularly  with  regard  to  recognizing 
exploration expenses using the “successful efforts” method and 
determining  the  depreciation  rate  for  Exploration  &  Production 
segment property, plant and equipment (outlined respectively in 
Notes 7.1 and 7.2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements); 

—  these  estimates  are  inherently  uncertain  given  the  geoscience 
and engineering data used to determine deposit quantities. They 
are  also  complex  due  to  the  contractual  arrangements  that 
determine the Group’s share of the reserves. 

The works performed consisted in: 

—  obtaining an understanding of the procedures and internal control 
system implemented by the Group to determine its hydrocarbon 
reserves; 

—  testing  the  qualifications  of  the  Group’s  petroleum  engineers 
responsible for estimating reserves, using sampling techniques; 

—  analyzing the changes in proved and proved developed reserves 
with regard to the last fiscal year, in order to focus our work on 
the period’s main changes; 

—  reconciling actual production with expected production; 

—  analyzing the assumptions used by the Group to determine the 
quantities of recoverable reserves before the contracts giving the 
right  to  operate  expire,  and  where  appropriate,  examining  the 
reasons  leading  the  Group  to  believe  that  the  renewal  of  an 
operating  agreement  is  reasonably  certain  to  estimate  proved 
and proved developed reserves by also taking into account gas 
sales agreements; 

—  assessing the Group’s application of the provisions under SEC 
rules,  particularly  with  regard  to  the  average  annual  reference 
prices used to measure the value of proved and proved developed 
reserves. 

Measurement of fair value of acquired assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities in the context 
of Mærsk Oil and Global LNG acquisitions 

Risk identified 

Our response 

During the fiscal year 2018, the Group acquired: 

For these two acquisitions, our works consisted mainly in: 

—  the  shares  of  the  Mærsk  Oil  entity  for  a  purchase  price  of 
5,741  million  US  dollars,  transaction  which  resulted  in  the 
recognition of a goodwill of 2,642 million US dollars; 

—  the  shares  of  Global  LNG  entity  for  a  purchase  price  of 
1,269  million  US  dollars  plus  an  additional  purchase  price 
estimated at 550 million US dollars at the acquisition date. This 
transaction  resulted  in  the  recognition  of  a  goodwill  of 
2,791 million US dollars. 

As  presented  in  Note  2.2  “Major  business  combinations”  to  the 
Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  the  Group  is  assessing  the  fair 
value  of  acquired  assets,  liabilities  and  contingent  liabilities  on  the 
basis of available information. 

The initial accounting for these business combinations is described 
in Note 2.2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 

We considered measurement of fair value of acquired assets, liabilities 
and contingent liabilities in the context of these two acquisitions to 
be  a  key  audit  matter  given  the  significance  of  these  transactions 
and  the  extent  of  Management’s  judgement  in  assessing  this 
measurement. 

—  obtaining  an  understanding  of  and  testing  the  internal  control 
procedures implemented for business combination transactions; 

—  analyzing  the  methods  applied  and  the  key  assumptions  used 
by  the  Group  to  assess  the  fair  value  of  the  identifiable  assets 
acquired and liabilities assumed; 

8 

—  analyzing  the  allocation  of  discounted  future  cash  flows  to  the 

identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed; 

—  checking  the  arithmetic  accuracy  of  the  goodwill  amount 

recognized; 

—  and  lastly,  assessing  the  appropriateness  of  the  information 
provided  in  Note  2.2  “Major  business  combinations”  to  the 
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with International 
Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to 
enable the preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going 
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless it is expected to 
liquidate the Company or to cease operations. 

The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring the financial reporting process and the effectiveness of internal control and risks management 
systems and where applicable, its internal audit, regarding the accounting and financial reporting procedures. 

The Consolidated Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors. 

Statutory Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements 

Objectives and audit approach 

Our role is to issue a report on the Consolidated Financial Statements. Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 
Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is 
not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. 
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected 
to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Consolidated Financial Statements. 

As specified in Article L. 823- 10- 1 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce), our statutory audit does not include assurance on 
the viability of the Company or the quality of management of the affairs of the Company. 

As part of an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France, the statutory auditor exercises professional 
judgment throughout the audit and furthermore: 

—  identifies  and  assesses  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  whether  due  to  fraud  or  error, 
designs and performs audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtains audit evidence considered to be sufficient and appropriate 
to provide a basis for his opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting 
from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control; 

—  obtains  an  understanding  of  internal  control  relevant  to  the  audit  in  order  to  design  audit  procedures  that  are  appropriate  in  the 

circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control; 

—  evaluates the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made 

by management in the Consolidated Financial Statements; 

—  assesses the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, 
whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue 
as a going concern. This assessment is based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of his audit report. However, future events or 
conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. If the statutory auditor concludes that a material uncertainty 
exists, there is a requirement to draw attention in the audit report to the related disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements or, if 
such disclosures are not provided or inadequate, to modify the opinion expressed therein; 

—  evaluates  the  overall  presentation  of  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  and  assesses  whether  these  statements  represent  the 

underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation; 

—  obtains sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to 
express  an  opinion  on  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements.  The  statutory  auditor  is  responsible  for  the  direction,  supervision  and 
performance  of  the  audit  of  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  and  for  the  opinion  expressed  on  these  Consolidated  Financial 
Statements.

Report to the Audit Committee 

We  submit  to  the  Audit  Committee  a  report  which  includes  in  particular  a  description  of  the  scope  of  the  audit  and  the  audit  program 
implemented, as well as the results of our audit. We also report significant deficiencies, if any, in internal control regarding the accounting and 
financial reporting procedures that we have identified. 

Our report to the Audit Committee includes the risks of material misstatement that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in 
the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the current period and which are therefore the key audit matters that we are required to 
describe in this report. 

We  also  provide  the  Audit  Committee  with  the  declaration  provided  for  in  Article  6  of  Regulation  (EU)  No.  537/2014,  confirming  our 
independence within the meaning of the rules applicable in France, as set out in particular in Articles L. 822- 10 to L. 822- 14 of the French 
Commercial Code (Code de commerce) and in the French Code of Ethics (Code de déontologie) for statutory auditors. Where appropriate, we 
discuss with the Audit Committee the risks that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and the related safeguards.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
Note 1 

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, 2018. 

The  accounting  principles  applied  for  the  Consolidated  Financial 
Statements at December 31, 2018, were the same as those that were 
used  for  the  financial  statements  at  December  31,  2017,  with  the 
exception  of  those  texts  or  amendments  that  must  be  applied  for 
periods beginning January 1, 2018. 

First-time application of IFRS 15 “Revenue from 
Contracts with Customers” 

The Group applied IFRS 15 as of January 1, 2018, without restating 
comparative information from past periods. 

The  cumulative  effect  of  the  first  application  of  the  standard, 
recognized in equity as at January 1, 2018, is non-material. 

This  new  standard  did  not  lead  to  any  substantial  change  in  the 
accounting principles applied by the Group. 

Main issues analysed by the Group in order to evaluate the impacts 
of the standard are related to take or pay, incoterms, excise duties, 
principal vs agent considerations and variable price adjustment clause. 

First time application of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” 

The Group applied IFRS 9 as of January 1, 2018 without restating 
comparative information from past periods. The cumulative effect of 
the  first  application  of  the  standard,  recognized  in  equity  as  at 
January 1, 2018, is non-material. 

This  new  standard  did  not  lead  to  any  substantial  change  in  the 
accounting principles applied by the Group. 

This standard has three components: classification and measurement 
of financial instruments, impairment of financial assets, and hedging 
transactions except macro hedging. 

The main changes induced by each component are the following: 

—  the  application  of  the  “Classification  and  valuation  of  financial 
instruments”  component  led  the  Group  to  create  a  new  non-
recyclable  component  in  its  comprehensive  income  to  record, 
from January 1, 2018, changes in the fair value of investments in 
equity  instruments  previously  classified  as  “Available-for-sale 
financial assets “under IAS 39. 

Moreover  the  Group  has  reviewed  the  equity  instruments 
classification as stated in Note 8.2 to the Consolidated Financial 
Statements; 

—  the application of the “Impairment of financial assets” component 
has changed the Group’s accounting for impairment losses for 
financial  assets.  IAS  39’s  incurred  loss  approach  has  been 
replaced  by  a  forward-looking  expected  credit  loss  (ECL) 
approach. For trade receivables, the Group assessed the expected 
losses  based  on  loss  rates  historically  recorded.  This  analyze 
had no significant impact for the Group on January 1, 2018; 

—  the application of the “Hedging transactions” component led the 
Group to retrospectively recognize in a separate component of 
the comprehensive income the variation of foreign currency basis 
spread identified in the hedging relationships qualifying as a fair 
value hedge. 

The  application  of  the  provisions  of  IFRS  9  “Financial  Instruments” 
has  no  significant  effect  on  the  Group’s  balance  sheet,  income 
statement and consolidated equity as of December 31, 2018. 

Major judgments and accounting estimates 

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  IFRS 
for  the  closing  as  of  December  31,  2018  requires  the  Executive 
Management  to  make  estimates,  assumptions  and  judgments  that 
affect the information reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements 
and the notes thereto. 

These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on historical 
experience and other factors believed to be reasonable at the date 
of preparation of the financial statements. They are reviewed on an 
on-going  basis  by  management  and  therefore  could  be  revised  as 
circumstances change or as a result of new information. 

Different  estimates,  assumptions  and  judgments  could  significantly 
affect  the  information  reported,  and  actual  results  may  differ  from 
the amounts included in the Consolidated Financial Statements and 
the notes thereto. 

The  following  summary  provides  further  information  about  the  key 
estimates, assumptions and judgments that are involved in preparing, 
the Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto. It should 
be read in conjunction with the sections of the notes mentioned in 
the summary. 

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  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. 

The Successful Efforts method and the mineral interests and property 
and equipment of exploration and production are presented in Note 7 
“Intangible and tangible assets”. 

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. 

Asset impairment and the method applied are described in Note 3 
“Business segment information”.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements  8 

Note 1 

Employee benefits 

The discount rate is reviewed annually. 

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 
advice. The discount rate is reviewed quarterly. 

Payroll,  staff  and  employee  benefits  obligations  and  the  method 
applied are described in Note 10 “Payroll, staff and employee benefits 
obligations”. 

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. 

Asset retirement obligations and the method used are described in 
Note 12 “Provisions and other non-current liabilities”. 

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 taxable profits existing at the closing date and 
future  taxable  profits  which  estimation  is  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. Depending on the 
circumstances, they are final only after negotiations or resolution of 
disputes with authorities that can last several years. 

Incomes taxes and the accounting methods are described in Note 11 
“Income taxes”. 

Judgments in case of 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. 

NOTE 1  General accounting policies 

1.1  Accounting policies 

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 and assumed liabilities of 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: 

—  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 badwill is recorded as income. 

Non-controlling  interests are measured either  at their proportionate 
share in the net assets of the acquired company or at fair value. 

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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
Note 1 

C) Foreign currency translation

1.2  Significant accounting policies applicable 

The  presentation  currency  of  the  Group’s  Consolidated  Financial 
Statements  is  the  US  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”. 

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. 

Since 1st  July 2018, Argentina is considered to be hyperinflationary. 
IAS  29  “Financial  Reporting  in  Hyperinflationary  Economies”  is 
applicable to entities whose functional currency is the Argentine peso. 
The  functional  currency  of  the  Argentine  Exploration  &  Production 
subsidiary  is  the  US  dollar,  therefore  IAS  29  has  no  incidence  on 
the  Group  accounts.  Net  asset  of  the  other  business  segments  is 
not significant. 

(i) Monetary transactions
Transactions  denominated  in  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
Assets and liabilities of entities denominated in currencies other than
dollar  are  translated  into  dollar  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.

in the future 

The  standards  or  interpretations  published  respectively  by  the 
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International 
Financial  Reporting  Standards  Interpretations  Committee  (IFRS  IC) 
which were not yet in effect at December 31, 2018, are as follows: 

Standards adopted by the European Union at December 31, 2018 

—  IFRS 16 “Leases” applicable as of January 1, 2019. As regards 
the first application of this standard, the Group intends to: 

– apply  the  simplified  retrospective  transition  method,  by
accounting for the cumulative effect of the initial application of
the standard at the date of first application, without restating
the comparative periods;

– use  the  following  simplification  measures  provided  by  the

standard in the transitional provisions:
- not apply the standard to contracts that the Group had not
previously identified as containing a lease under IAS 17 and
IFRIC 4,

- not take into account leases whose term ends within 12 months 

of the date of first application;

– recognize each lease component of the lease as a separate
lease, apart from non-lease components (services) of the lease. 

The  expected  impact  of  the  application  of  this  standard
on January 1, 2019 on the Group’s debt is between $5 and
$6 billion.

—  IFRIC 23 interpretation “uncertainty over income tax treatments” 
applicable as of January 1, 2019 which refers to any situation of 
uncertainty  regarding  the  acceptability  of  a  tax  treatment  on 
income  tax.  An  analysis  of  these  situations  is  underway  within 
the Group to assess the impacts of applying this interpretation. 
The expected impacts are not significant.

NOTE 2  Changes in the Group structure 

2.1  Main acquisitions and divestments 

2.2  Major business combinations 

In 2018, the main changes in the Group structure were as follows: 

Exploration & Production 

—  On  January  15,  2018,  as  part  of  the  Strategic  Alliance  signed 
in  March  2017,  TOTAL  announced  the  conclusion  of  transfer 
agreements from Petrobras to TOTAL: 
– 35% of the rights, as well as the role of operator in the Lapa

field,

– 22.5% of the rights of the Iara area.

The  details  of  the  acquisition  are  presented  in  Note  2.2  to  the 
Consolidated Financial Statements. 

—  On March 1, 2018, TOTAL finalized the acquisition of Marathon 
Oil  Libya  Limited  which  holds  a  16.33%  stake  in  the  Waha

Consolidated Financial Statements. 

—  On March 8, 2018, TOTAL announced the closing of the Maersk 
Oil  acquisition  signed  on  August  21,  2017.  The  integration  of 
Maersk Oil, which holds a portfolio of high quality assets, largely 
complementary to those held by TOTAL, and mainly located in 
OECD countries, allows the Group to become the second largest 
operator in the North Sea. 

The  details  of  the  acquisition  are  presented  in  Note  2.2  to  the 
Consolidated Financial Statements. 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

In accordance with IFRS 3 “Business combinations”, TOTAL is

a 100,000 barrel per day capacity Floating Production, Storage and 
Offloading vessel (FPSO). 

Petrobras also transferred to TOTAL 22.5% of the rights of the Iara 
area in which production tests were performed in 2018. 

The acquisition cost amounts to $1,950 million.

Engie’s Upstream LNG Business 

On July 13, 2018, the Group acquired 100% shares of Global LNG, 
a company which holds Engie’s portfolio of upstream liquefied natural 
gas  (LNG)  assets  for  a  purchase  price  of  $1,269  million,  plus  an 
additional purchase price of $550 million estimated at the acquisition

ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

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”. 

Exploration & Production 

—  On  December  13,  2018,  TOTAL  announced  the  signing  of  an 
agreement to divest a 4% interest in the Ichthys liquefied natural 
gas (LNG) project in Australia to operating partner INPEX for an 
overall  consideration  of  $1.6  billion.  The  transaction,  which  is 
subject  to  Australian  regulatory  approvals,  will  reduce  Total’s 
interest in the asset to 26%. At December 31, 2018, the assets 
and liabilities have been respectively classified in the consolidated 
balance sheet in “assets classified as held for sale” for an amount 
of $1,077 million and “liabilities directly associated with the assets 
classified as held for sale” for an amount of $41 million. The assets 
concerned mainly include tangible assets.

On  July  6,  2018,  TOTAL  acquired  a  73.04%  majority  stake  of  the 
share capital of Direct Énergie. 

Upon  completion  of  the  public  tender  offer  launched  in  July  2018, 
the  Group  holds  100%  of  its  share  capital.  The  acquisition  cost  of 
this interest totals €1,956 million ($2,297 million). 

The acquisition was carried out in two steps: 

—  in the first step TOTAL obtained control over Direct Énergie by 
the  acquisition  of  73.04%  of  its  shares  for  an  amount  of 
€1,399 million ($1,640 million) and recorded a preliminary partial
goodwill  for  an  amount  of  €1,093  million  ($1,282  million).  This
goodwill reflects the value created for TOTAL by the size increase 
in the gas and power value chain and its associated synergies.
Being  provisional  this  goodwill  has  not  yet  been  allocated  to  a
Cash-Generated Unit (CGU);

—  in  the  second  step  TOTAL  completed  a  transaction  with  the 

minority shareholders for an amount of €557 million.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements  8 

Note 3 

NOTE 3  Business segment information 

Description of the business segments 

Financial information by business segment is reported in accordance 
with  the  internal  reporting  system  and  shows  internal  segment 
information  that  is  used  to  manage  and  measure  the  performance 
of TOTAL and which is reviewed by the main operational decision-
making body of the Group, namely the Executive Committee. 

The  operational  profit  and  assets  are  broken  down  by  business 
segment prior to the consolidation and inter-segment adjustments. 

Sales prices between business segments approximate market prices. 

The  organization  of  the  Group’s  activities  is  structured  around  the 
four followings segments: 

—  an Exploration & Production segment; 

(iii) Adjusted income
Operating  income,  net  operating  income,  or  net  income  excluding
the effect of adjustment items described below.

(iv) Capital employed
Non-current assets and working capital, at replacement cost, net of
deferred income taxes and non-current liabilities.

(v) 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.

Performance  indicators  excluding  the  adjustment  items,  such  as 
adjusted incomes and ROACE are meant to facilitate the analysis of 
the  financial  performance  and  the  comparison  of  income  between 
periods. 

—  a  Gas,  Renewables  &  Power  segment  including  downstream 
Gas activities, New Energies activities (excluding biotechnologies) 
and Energy Efficiency division; 

Adjustment items 

Adjustment items include: 

—  a Refining & Chemicals segment constituting a major industrial 
hub  comprising  the  activities  of  refining,  petrochemicals  and 
specialty  chemicals.  This  segment  also  includes  the  activities 
of oil Supply, Trading and marine Shipping; 

—  a  Marketing  &  Services  segment  including  the  global  activities 
of supply and marketing in the field of petroleum products. 

In addition the Corporate segment includes holdings operating and 
financial activities. 

Certain figures for the year 2016 have been restated in order to reflect 
the  new  organization  with  four  business  segments  implemented 
in 2017. 

Definition of the 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 Group share are interest expenses related 
to net financial debt, after applicable income taxes (net cost of net 
debt) and non-controlling interests. 

(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 main competitors.

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 methods. 

(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 the Group’s 
internal  economic  performance.  IFRS  precludes  recognition  of  this 
fair value effect.

Note 3 

D) Asset impairment

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES 

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  set  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  of  these  assets,  based 

upon 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. This loss is allocated 
first to goodwill with a corresponding amount in “Other expenses”. 
Any further 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. 

For the financial year 2018, asset impairments were recorded for an 
amount of $1,774 million in operating income and $1,595 million in 
net  income,  Group  share.  These  impairments  were  qualified  as 
adjustment  items  of  the  operating  income  and  net  income,  Group 
share. 

Impairments relate to certain cash-generating units (CGUs) for which 
indicators  of  impairment  have  been  identified,  due  to  changes  in 
operating  conditions  or  the  economic  environment  of  the  activities 
concerned. 

The principles applied are as follows: 

—  the  future  cash  flows  were  determined  using  the  assumptions 
included  in  the  2019  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; 

—  the  Group,  notably  relying  on  data  on  global  energy  demand 
from the “World Energy Outlook” issued by IEA since 2016 and 
on its own supply assessments, determines the oil & gas prices 
scenarios  based  on  assumptions  about  the  evolution  of  core 
indicators of the Upstream activity (demand for oil & gas products 
in different markets, investment forecasts, decline in production 
fields,  changes  in  oil  &  gas  reserves  and  supply  by  area  and 
by  nature  of  oil  &  gas  products),  of  the  Downstream  activity 
(changes in refining capacity and demand for petroleum products) 
and by integrating challenges raised by the climate. 

These  price  scenarios,  first  prepared  within  the  Strategy  and 
Climate Division, are also reviewed by the Group segments which 
bring their own expertise. They also integrate studies issued by 
international agencies, banks and independent consultants. They 
are then approved by the Executive Committee and the Board of 
Directors. 

The IEA 2018 World Energy Outlook anticipates three scenarios 
(New  Policies  Scenario  (NPS),  Current  Policies  Scenario  (CPS) 
and  Sustainable  Development  Scenario  (SDS)).  Among  these 
scenarios, the NPS (central scenario of the IEA) and the SDS are 
important references for the Group. 

The NPS takes into account the measures already implemented 
by the countries in the energy field as well as the effects of the 
policies announced by the Governments (including the Nationally 
Determined  Contributions  – NDC –  of 
the  Paris  Climate 
Agreement).  The  SDS  takes  into  account  the  necessary 
measures to achieve the energy-related goals set in the “2030 
Agenda  for  Sustainable  Development”  adopted  in  2015  by  the 
UN members. 

The NPS sees a significant increase in oil and gas demand until 
2025 and then a slower growth until 2040 (despite a significant 
penetration of electric vehicles and, above all, significant efficiency 
gains). The SDS sees a decline in demand in the first half of the 
2020s  for  oil  and  a  stabilization  after  2030  for  gas  due  to  the 
substitution  efforts  and  an  accelerated  diffusion  of  efficiency 
gains. 

In  this  context,  given  the  need  for  the  industry  to  make  very 
substantial  investments  to  cope  with  the  natural  decline  of  the 
fields  and  meet  the  oil  demand  predicted  by  these  scenarios 
over the next 20 years: 

– The  crude  oil  price  level  considered  to  determine  the
recoverable  value  of  CGUs  amounts  to  60  dollars  per  barrel
of Brent in 2019-2020. This price rises to reach 80 dollars in
2021 and inflates after 2024.

– For  gas,  the  price  level  considered  to  determine  the
recoverable  value  of  concerned  CGUs  for  2019  amounts  to
$5.5 per million BTU for the NBP price (Europe). It reaches $7
per million BTU in 2021, and will inflate after 2024;

—  the  future  operational  costs  were  determined  by  taking  into 
account  the  existing  technologies,  the  fluctuation  of  prices  for 
petroleum  services  in  line  with  market  developments  and  the 
internal cost reduction programs effectively implemented; 

—  the future cash flows are estimated over a period consistent with 
the life of the assets of the CGUs. They are prepared post-tax 
and take into account specific risks related to the CGUs’ 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 2017 and 2016. 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 generally ranged from 7% to 16% in 2018. 

The CGUs of the Exploration & Production 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  financial  year  2018,  impairments  of  assets  were 
recognized over CGUs of the Exploration & Production segment for 
an impact of $1,256 million in operating income and $1,259 million in

—  a  decrease  by  one  point  in  the  discount  rate  would  have  a 
positive impact of approximately $0.5 billion in operating income 
and $0.4 billion in net income, Group share; 

—  an  increase  by  one  point  in  the  discount  rate  would  have  an 
additional  negative  impact  of  approximately  $0.9  billion  in 
operating income and approximately $0.7 billion in net income, 
Group share; 

—  a variation of -10% of the oil and gas prices over the duration of 
the  plan  would  have  an  additional  negative 
impact  of 
approximately $2.7 billion in operating income and $2.2 billion in 
net income, Group share. 

The most sensitive assets would be the assets already impaired in 
2018  or  before  (impact  of  approximately  $2.7  billion  in  operating 
income  and  $2.2  billion  in  net  income,  Group  share),  especially 
Ichthys in Australia and assets in Canada. 

The CGUs of the Gas, Renewables & Power segment are subsidiaries 
or groups of subsidiaries organized by activity or geographical area. 
In financial year 2018, the Group recorded impairments on CGUs in 
the Gas, Renewables & Power segment for $516 million in operating 
income  and  $288  million  in  net  income,  Group  share.  These 
impairments  relate  to  SunPower  in  the  US  due  to  the  depressed 
economic environment of solar activity. 

The CGUs of the Refining & Chemicals segment are defined as legal 
entities  with  operational  activities  for  refining  and  petrochemicals 
activities.  Future  cash  flows  are  based  on  the  gross  contribution 
margin (calculated on the basis of net sales after purchases of crude 

oil and refined products, the effect of inventory valuation and variable 
costs). 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.  Future  cash  flows  are 
determined from the specific margins of these activities, unrelated to 
the price of oil. No significant impairment has been recorded for the 
CGUs of the Refining & Chemicals segment in financial year 2018. 

The CGUs of the Marketing & Services segment are subsidiaries or 
groups of subsidiaries organized by geographical area. No impairment 
has been recorded for the CGUs of the Marketing & Services segment 
in financial year 2018. 

For  financial  year  2017,  the  Group  recorded  impairments  in 
Exploration  &  Production,  Gas,  Renewables  &  Power,  Refining  & 
Chemicals  and  Marketing  &  Services  segments  for  an  amount  of 
$4,662 million in operating income and $3,884 million in net income, 
Group share. These impairments were qualified as adjustments items 
of the operating income and net income, Group share. 

In financial year 2016, the Group recognized impairments of assets 
in the Exploration & Production, Gas, Renewables & Power, Refining 
&  Chemicals  and  Marketing  &  Services  segments  for  an  impact  of 
$2,229  million  in  operating  income  and  of  $2,097  income  and  net 
income,  Group  share.  These  impairments  were  qualified  as 
adjustment  items  of  the  operating  income  and  net  income,  Group 
share. 

No significant reversal of impairment was accounted for in respect of 
the financial years 2016, 2017 and 2018.

Note 5 

NOTE 5  Main items related to operating activities 

Items related to the statement of income 

5.1  Net sales 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

IFRS 15 requires identification of the performance obligations for 
the  transfer  of  goods  and  services  in  each  contract  with 
customers.  Revenue  is  recognized  upon  satisfaction  of  the 
performance  obligations  for  the  amounts  that  reflect  the 
consideration  to  which  the  Group  expects  to  be  entitled  in 
exchange for those goods and services. 

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. 

Sales of goods 

Revenues from sales are recognized when the control has been 
transferred  to  the  buyer  and  the  amount  can  be  reasonably 
measured. Revenues from sales of crude oil and natural gas 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  entitlement  volumes 
sold over the period. Any difference between entitlement volumes 
and volumes sold, based on the Group net working interest, are 
recognized in the “Under-lifting” and “Over-lifting” accounts in the 
balance sheet and in operating expenses in the profit and loss. 

Quantities delivered that represent production royalties and taxes, 
when paid in cash, are included in oil and gas revenues, 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. 

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. 

5.2  Operating expenses and research and development 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

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. 

Income  related  to  the  distribution  of  electricity  and  gas  are  not 
recognized  in  revenues  because  the  Group  acts  as  an  agent  in 
this transaction. The Group is not responsible for the delivery and 
does not set the price of the service, because it can only pass on 
to the customer the amounts invoiced to it by the distributors. 

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. 

Excise taxes 

Excise taxes are rights or taxes which amount is calculated based 
on the quantity of oil and gas products put on the market. Excise 
taxes are determined by the states. They are paid directly to the 
customs and tax authorities and then invoiced to final customers 
by being included in the sales price. 

The analysis of the criteria set by IFRS 15 led the Group to determine 
that  it  was  acting  as  principal  in  these  transactions.  Therefore 
sales 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. 

8 

Geological  and  geophysical  costs,  including  seismic  surveys  for 
exploration  purposes  are  expensed  as  incurred  in  exploration 
costs. 

Costs of dry wells and wells that have not found proved reserves 
are charged to expense in exploration costs.

5.2.2  Research and development costs 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Research costs are charged to expense as incurred. 

Development expenses are capitalized when the criteria of IAS38 are met. 

Research and development costs incurred by the Group in 2018 and 
booked in operating expenses amount to $986 million ($912 million in 
2017 and $1,050 million in 2016), corresponding to 0.47% of the sales. 

The  staff  dedicated  in  2018  to  these  research  and  development 
activities are estimated at 4,288 people (4,132 in 2017 and 4,939 in

Inventories 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

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 or weighted-average cost method and 
other inventories are measured using the weighted-average cost 
method. 

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 costs of refined and chemicals products. 

In addition stocks held for trading are measured at fair value less 
costs of sale. 

Marketing & Services 

Refining & Chemicals 

Petroleum product inventories are mainly comprised of crude oil 
and  refined  products.  Refined  products  principally  consist  of 
gasoline,  distillate  and  fuel  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, 

The costs of refined products include mainly raw materials costs, 
production costs (energy, labor, depreciation of producing assets) 
and  an  allocation  of  production  overheads  (taxes,  maintenance, 
insurance, etc.). 

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.

Note 5 

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: 
– 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. 

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. Otherwise a valuation allowance is recorded; 

—  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.

NOTE 7 

Intangible and tangible assets 

7.1 

Intangible assets 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Exploration costs 

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. 

Mineral  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  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: 
– 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 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 exploration costs. 

Proved  mineral  interests  are  depreciated  using  the  unit-of-
production method based on proved reserves. 

The corresponding expense is recorded as depreciation of tangible 
assets and mineral interests. 

Goodwill and other intangible assets excluding mineral 
interests 

Other  intangible  assets  include  patents,  trademarks,  and  lease 
rights. 

Intangible  assets  are  carried  at  cost,  after  deducting  any 
accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. 

Guidance  for  calculating  goodwill  is  presented  in  Note  1.1 
paragraph B to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Goodwill 
is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually and 
as soon as there is any indication of impairment. 

Intangible  assets  (excluding  mineral  interests)  that  have  a  finite 
useful life are amortized on a straight-line basis over three to twenty 
years depending on the useful life of the assets. The corresponding 
expense is recorded under other expense.

7.2  Property, plant and equipment 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Exploration & Production 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). 

In the event that, due to the price effect on reserves evaluation, the 
unit-of-production method does not reflect properly the useful life 
of the asset, an alternative depreciation method is applied based 
on the reserves evaluated with the price of the previous year. 

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, the unit-of-production 
method  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. 

Other property, plant and equipment excluding 
Exploration & Production 

Other  property,  plant  and  equipment  are  carried  at  cost,  after 
deducting  any  accumulated  depreciation  and  accumulated 
impairment  losses.  This  cost  includes  borrowing  costs  directly 
attributable to the acquisition or production of a qualifying asset 
incurred  until  assets  are  placed  in  service.  Borrowing  costs  are 
capitalized as follows: 

—  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.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Other  investments  are  equity  instruments  and  are  measured 
according to IFRS 9 at fair value through profit and loss (default 
option).  On  initial  recognition,  the  standard  allows  to  make  an 
election  and  record  the  changes  of 
in  other 
comprehensive income. For these securities, only dividends can 
be recognized in profit or loss. 

fair  value 

The Group recognizes changes in fair value in equity or in profit 
or  loss  according  to  the  option  chosen  on  an  instrument  by 
instrument basis. 

For securities traded in active markets, this fair value is equal to 
the market price. 

For other shares, if the fair value is not reliably determinable, they 
are recorded at their acquisition value. 

For  years  prior  to  the  application  of  IFRS  9,  equity  instruments 
were classified as available for sale financial assets and measured 
at fair value. 

For securities traded in active markets, this fair value was equal to 
the  market  price.  Changes  in  fair  value  were  recorded  in  other 
comprehensive income. If there was any evidence of a significant 
or  long-lasting  impairment  loss,  a  loss  was  recorded  in  the 
statement of income. This impairment was irreversible. 

For other securities, if the fair value was not reliably determinable, 
the securities were recorded at their historical value.

(a)  The benefits provided for executive officers of the Group and the members of the Board of Directors, who are employees of the Group, include severance to be paid upon retirement, 
supplementary  pension  schemes  and  insurance  plans,  which  represent  $117.0  million  provisioned  as  of  December  31,  2018  (against  $119.7  million  as  of  December  31,  2017  and
$104.7 million as of December 31, 2016). 
The decrease in the pension expenses in 2018 is due to the recognition in 2017 of the entire expense related to the agreement on the transition from work to retirement in France. 

(b) Share-based payments expense computed for the executive officers and the members of the Board of Directors who are employees of the Group and based on the principles of IFRS 2 
“Share-based payments” described in Note 9. The achievement of the performance conditions for the grant of the number of shares (82%) having been higher than assumption used for 
the estimation (70%) for the year 2017, the grant rate of the 2015 to 2018 plans has been revised upwards. 

The compensation allocated to members of the Board of Directors for directors’ fees totaled $1.65 million in 2018 (against $1.44 million in 
2017 and $1.22 million in 2016).

in the case of double voting rights, this limit may be extended to 20%.

capital of the Company, directly or indirectly, following a public tender 
offer for all of the Company’s shares.

Paid-in surplus 

Reserves 

In accordance with French law, the paid-in surplus corresponds to 
premiums  related  to  shares  issuances,  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. 

As  of  December  31,  2018,  paid-in  surplus  relating  to  TOTAL  S.A. 
amounted to €37,276 million (€32,882 million as of December 31, 
2017 and €28,961 million as of December 31, 2016). 

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  $607  million  as  of 
December  31,  2018  ($750  million  as  of  December  31,  2017  and 
$569  million  as  of  December  31,  2016)  with  regards  to  additional 
corporation  tax  to  be  applied  on  regulatory  reserves  so  that  they 
become distributable.

Earnings per share 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

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)  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.  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  share  subscription  or 
purchase options plans, 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. 

The variation of both weighted-average number of shares and weighted-average number of diluted shares respectively, as of December 31, 
respectively used in the calculation of earnings per share and fully-diluted earnings per share is detailed as follows: 

2018                             2017                             2016

8 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
Note 9 

The Board of Directors, during its October 25, 2018 meeting, decided 
to  set  the  third  interim  dividend  for  fiscal  year  2018  of  €0.64  per 
share. The ex-dividend date will be March 19, 2019, and this interim 
dividend will be paid on April 5, 2019. 

A resolution will be submitted at the Shareholders’ Meeting on May 
29,  2019  to  pay  a  dividend  of  €2.56  per  share  for  the  2018  fiscal 
year, as a balance of €0.64 per share to be distributed after deducting 
the three interim dividends of €0.64 per share that will have already 
been paid. 

Issuance of perpetual subordinated notes 

The Group did not issue any perpetual subordinated notes in 2018 
nor in 2017. 

In 2016, the Group issued three tranches of perpetual subordinated 
notes in euros through TOTAL S.A.: 

—  deeply  subordinated  note  3.875%  perpetual  maturity  callable 

after 6 years (€1,750 million); 

—  deeply  subordinated  note  2.708%  perpetual  maturity  callable 

after 6.6 years (€1,000 million); and 

Other comprehensive income 

—  deeply  subordinated  note  3.369%  perpetual  maturity  callable 

after 10 years (€1,500 million). 

In 2015, the Group issued two tranches of perpetual subordinated 
notes in euros through TOTAL S.A.: 

—  deeply  subordinated  note  2.250%  perpetual  maturity  callable 

after 6 years (€2,500 million); 

—  deeply  subordinated  note  2.625%  perpetual  maturity  callable 

after 10 years (€2,500 million). 

Based on their characteristics (mainly no mandatory repayment and 
no  obligation  to  pay  a  coupon  except  in  the  event  of  a  dividend 
distribution)  and  in  compliance  with  IAS  32  standard  –  Financial 
instruments – Presentation, these notes were recorded in equity. 

As  of  December  31,  2018,  the  amount  of  the  perpetual  deeply 
subordinated  note  booked  in  the  Group  shareholders’  equity  is 
$10,328  million.  The  coupons  attributable  to  the  holders  of  these 
securities are booked in deduction of the Group shareholders’ equity 
for  an  amount  of  $315  million  for  fiscal  year  2018  closing.  The  tax 
saving due to these coupons is booked in the statement of income.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
Note 9 

9.2  Share-based payments 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The Group may grant employees share subscription or purchase 
options 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  global  cost  is 
reduced to take into account the non-transferability over a 2-year 
holding period of the shares that could be awarded. 

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. 

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

(a)  The number of performance shares finally granted in 2016 has been adjusted by 226 performance shares granted in 2017. 

The performance shares, which are bought back by the TOTAL S.A. 
on the market, are finally granted to their beneficiaries after a 3-year 
vesting period for the 2013 plan and following Plans, from the date 
of  the  grant.  The  final  grant  is  subject  to  a  continued  employment 
condition  as  well  as  one  performance  condition  for  the  2013  and 
2014 plans and two performance conditions for the 2015 plans and 
subsequent plans. 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. 

2018 Plan 

The  Board  of  Directors,  on  March  14,  2018,  granted  performance 
shares to certain employees and executive directors of the Company 
or  Group  companies,  subject  to  the  fulfilment  of  the  presence 
condition and two performance conditions. 

The  presence  condition  applies  to  all  shares.  The  performance 
conditions apply for all shares granted to senior executives. The grant 
of the first 150 shares to non-senior executive are not subject to the 
performance  condition  abovementioned,  but  the  performance 
conditions will apply to any shares granted above this threshold. 

The  performance  conditions,  weighting  for  50%  of  the  final  grant 
rate, are the Group’s ranking relative to those of its peers (ExxonMobil, 
Royal Dutch Shell, BP and Chevron) according to the following two 
criteria: 

—  Total  Shareholder  Return  (TSR),  which  is  calculate  annually 
using the average of closing prices over one quarter, in USD, at 
the beginning and at the end of each three-year period (Q4 year 
N/Q4 year N-3). The dividend is considered as being reinvested 
on the closing price basis, on the ex-dividend date; and 

—  annual variation in net cash-flow per share, in USD. 

TOTAL S.A.’s ranking will determined a grant rate for each year and 
each criteria:

C) SunPower plans 

During  fiscal  2018,  SunPower  had  three  stock  incentive  plans:  the 
Third  Amended  and  Restated  2005  SunPower  Corporation  Stock 
Incentive  Plan  (“2005  Plan”);  the  PowerLight  Corporation  Common 
Stock Option and Common Stock Purchase Plan (“PowerLight Plan”); 
and the SunPower Corporation 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2015 
Plan”).  The  PowerLight  Plan,  which  was  adopted  by  PowerLight’s 
Board of Directors in October 2000, was assumed by SunPower by 
way of the acquisition of PowerLight in fiscal 2007. The 2005 Plan 
was adopted by the SunPower’s Board of Directors in August 2005, 
and  was  approved  by  shareholders  in  November  2005.  The  2015 
Plan, which subsequently replaced the 2005 Plan, was adopted by 
the  SunPower’s  Board  of  Directors  in  February  2015,  and  was

approved  by  shareholders  in  June  2015.  On  November  13,  2018, 
SunPower filed post-effective amendments to registration statements 
associated  with  the  2005  Plan  and  the  PowerLight  Plan,  among 
others, to deregister shares no longer required to be registered for 
issuance under those plans, as no new awards had been made and 
all options had been exercised or had expired. The 2015 Plan allows 
for the grant of options, as well as grant of stock appreciation rights, 
restricted stock grants, restricted stock units and other equity rights. 
The 2015 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  2015  Plan  includes  an  automatic  annual  increase  mechanism 
equal to the lower of three percent of the outstanding shares of all 
classes of the SunPower’s common stock measured on the last day 
of  the  immediately  preceding  fiscal  year,  6  million  shares,  or  such 
other  number  of  shares  as  determined  by  SunPower’s  Board  of 
Directors. In fiscal 2015, the SunPower’s Board of Directors voted to 
reduce the stock incentive plan’s automatic increase from 3% to 2% 
for  2016.  As  of  December  31,  2018,  approximately  11.2  million 
shares were available for grant under the 2015 Plan. 

The following table summarizes SunPower’s restricted stock activities:

Incentive  stock  options,  nonstatutory  stock  options,  and  stock 
appreciation rights may be granted at no less than the fair value of 
the  common  stock  on  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.  SunPower  has  not  granted  stock  options  since 
fiscal 2008. All previously granted stock options have been exercised 
or  expired  and  accordingly  no  options  remain  outstanding.  Under 
the 2015 Plan, the restricted stock grants and restricted stock units 
typically vest in equal installments annually over three or four years. 

The  majority  of  shares  issued  are  net  of  the  minimum  statutory 
withholding  requirements  that  SunPower  pays  on  behalf  of  its 
employees. During fiscal 2018, 2017, and 2016, SunPower withheld 
0.7 million, 0.6 million and 1.0 million 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. 

There were no options outstanding and exercisable as of December 
31, 2018. The intrinsic value of the options exercised in fiscal 2018, 
2017,  and  2016  were  zero,  $1.7  thousand,  and  zero,  respectively. 
There were no stock options granted in fiscal 2018, 2017, and 2016.

NOTE 10  Payroll, staf and employee benefits obligations 

10.1  Employee benefits obligations 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

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. 

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. 

For  defined  contribution  plans,  expenses  correspond  to  the 
contributions paid. 

The  net  periodic  pension  cost  is  recognized  under  “Other 
operating expenses”. 

Liabilities for employee benefits obligations consist of the following:

Description of plans and risk management 

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  $130  million  for  defined 
contribution plans in 2018 ($128 million in 2017 and $157 million in 
2016). 

The Group’s main defined benefit pension plans are located in France, 
the United Kingdom, the United States, Belgium and Germany. Their 
main  characteristics,  depending  on  the  country-specific  regulatory 
environment, are the following: 

—  the benefits are usually based on the final salary and seniority; 

—  they are usually funded (pension fund or insurer); 

—  they  are  usually  closed  to  new  employees  who  benefit  from 

defined contribution pension plans; 

—  they are paid in annuity or in lump sum. 

The pension benefits include also termination indemnities and early 
retirement benefits. The other benefits are employer contributions to 
post-employment medical care. 

In order to manage the inherent risks, the Group has implemented a 
dedicated  governance  framework  to  ensure  the  supervision  of  the 
different plans. These governance rules provide for: 

—  the Group’s representation in key governance bodies or monitoring 

committees; 

—  the principles of the funding policy; 

—  the  general  investment  policy,  including  for  most  plans  the 
establishment  of  a  monitoring  committee  to  define  and  follow 
the  investment  strategy  and  performance  and  to  ensure  the 
principles in respect of investment allocation are respected; 

—  a procedure to approve the establishment of new plans or the 

amendment of existing plans;

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.

NOTE 11 

Income taxes 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

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). 

Income taxes are detailed as follows:

NET DEFERRED TAX LIABILITY

The  reserves  of  TOTAL  subsidiaries  that  would  be  taxable  if 
distributed but for which no distribution is planned, and for which no 
deferred  tax  liability  has  therefore  been  recognized,  totaled 
$10,713 million as of December 31, 2018. 

Deferred tax assets not recognized as of December 31, 2018 amount 
to  $3,315  million  as  their  future  recovery  was  not  regarded  as 
probable given the expected results of the entities. Particularly in the 
Exploration  &  Production  segment,  when  the  affiliate  or  the  field 
concerned is in its exploration phase, the net operating losses created 

during  this  phase  will  be  useable  only  if  a  final  investment  and 
development  decision  is  made.  Accordingly,  the  time  limit  for  the 
utilization of those net operating losses is not known. 

Deferred  tax  assets  not  recognized  relate  notably  to  France  for  an 
amount of $470 million, to Australia for an amount of $370 million, to 
Nigeria for an amount of $303 million and to Canada for an amount 
of $250 million. 

After netting deferred tax assets and liabilities by fiscal entity, deferred 
taxes are presented on the balance sheet as follows:

The  French  statutory  tax  rate  includes  the  standard  corporate  tax 
rate (33.33%), additional and exceptional applicable taxes that bring 
the overall tax rate to 34.43% in 2018 (versus 44.43% in 2017 and 
34.43% in 2016). 

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.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements  8 

Note 12 

In 2018, the heading “Other” mainly corresponds to the effect of acquisitions: 

—  Maersk Oil’s asset retirement obligation for an amount of $2,003 million; 

—  and Global LNG’s provisions and other non-current liabilities for an amount of $1,766 million of which the additional purchase price of 

$550 million (see Note 2 paragraph 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). 

Changes in the asset retirement obligation 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

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”. 

The discount rate used in 2018 for the valuation of asset retirement 
obligation is 4.5% as in 2017 and 2016 (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 
$1,353 million, with a corresponding impact in tangible assets, and 

with a negative impact of approximately $90 million on the following 
years  net  income.  Conversely,  an  increase  of  0.5%  would  have  a 
nearly symmetrical impact compared to the effect of the decrease of 
0.5%. 

Changes in the asset retirement obligation are as follows:

12.2  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. 

FERC 

The  Office  of  Enforcement  of  the  U.S.  Federal  Energy  Regulatory 
Commission  (FERC)  began  in  2015  an  investigation  in  connection 
with  the  natural  gas  trading  activities  in  the  United  States  of  Total 
Gas & Power North America, Inc. (TGPNA), a U.S. subsidiary of the 
Group.  The  investigation  covered  transactions  made  by  TGPNA 
between  June  2009  and  June  2012  on  the  natural  gas  market. 

TGPNA  received  a  Notice  of  Alleged  Violations  from  FERC  on 
September 21, 2015. On April 28, 2016, FERC issued an order to 
show  cause  to  TGPNA  and  two  of  its  former  employees,  and  to 
TOTAL S.A. and Total Gas & Power Ltd., regarding the same facts. 
TGPNA contests the claims brought against it. 

A  class  action  launched  to  seek  damages  from  these  three
companies, was dismissed by a judgment of the U.S. District Court 
of New York issued on March 15, 2017. The Court of Appeal upheld 
this judgment on May 4, 2018.

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). 

13.2  Lease contracts 

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES 

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. 

The Group leases real estate, retail stations, ships, and other equipment (see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). 

The future minimum lease payments on operating and finance leases to which the Group is committed are as follows:

ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash on hand and 
highly liquid short-term investments that are easily convertible into

15.2  Fair value of financial instruments (excluding commodity contracts) 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The Group uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to 
risks  of  changes  in  interest  rates,  foreign  exchange  rates  and 
commodity prices. These financial instruments are accounted for 
in  accordance  with  IFRS  9.  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.  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: 

1) 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.

Under  IFRS9  the  Group  has  recognized  in  a  separate
component  of  the  comprehensive  income  the  variation  of
foreign  currency  basis  spread  identified  in  the  hedging
relationships qualifying as a fair value hedge.

The  fair  value  of  those  hedging  instruments  of  long-term
financing  is  included  in  assets  under  “Non-current  financial

assets”  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”. 

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: 

–  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.

During a change in the nature of the hedge (fair value hedge 
to cash flow hedge), if the components of aggregate exposure 
had already been designated in a hedging relationship (FVH), 
the Group recognizes the second relationship (CFH) without 
having to de-qualify and re-qualify the initial hedging relationship. 

2) Cash  flow  hedge  when  the  Group  implements  a  strategy  of
fixing interest rate on 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  “Non-current  financial
assets”  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”.

8 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
Note 15 

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. 

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”. 

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 under “Currency translation” 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 

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). 

A) Impact on the statement of income per nature of financial instruments

Assets and liabilities from financing activities 

—  ineffective portion of bond hedging; and 

The  impact  on  the  statement  of  income  of  financing  assets  and 
liabilities mainly includes: 

—  financial income on cash, cash equivalents, and current financial 
assets (notably current deposits beyond three months) classified 
as “Loans and receivables”; 

—  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”; 

—  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.

D) Fair value hierarchy

ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

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. 

The methods used are as follows: 

Financial debts, swaps 

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  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 market curves existing at 
year-end. 

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 market 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 models commonly used 
by the market. 

The fair value hierarchy for financial instruments, excluding commodity contracts, is as follows:

8 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
Note 15 

15.3  Financial risks management 

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  14,  15.1  and 
15.2 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, 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 counterparties. 

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, according to general corporate needs, 
of  incurring  non-current  debt  at  a  floating  rate  or  at  a  fixed  rate, 
depending on the interest rates at the time of issue, in dollars or in 
euros. 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. 

Currency exposure 

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  15.1  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  15.2  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.

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.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
Note 15 

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:

Stock market risk 

The Group holds interests in a number of publicly-traded companies 
(see Note 8 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,  2018,  these  lines  of  credit  amounted  to 
$11,515 million, of which $11,515 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, 2018, the aggregate amount of the principal confirmed 
lines  of  credit  granted  by  international  banks  to  Group  companies, 
including TOTAL S.A., was $13,191 million, of which $12,599 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.

Credit risk

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 following table presents the Group’s maximum credit risk exposure:

The  valuation  allowance  on  accounts  receivable,  other  operating 
receivables and on loans and advances is detailed in Notes 5 and 6 
to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 

As  part  of  its  credit  risk  management  related  to  operating  and 
financing activities, the Group has developed margining agreements 
with certain counterparties. As of December 31, 2018, the net margin 
call paid amounted to $2,581 million (against $870 million paid as of 
December  31,  2017  and  $2,605  million  paid  as  of  December  31, 
2016). 

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,  2018,  the  net  value  of 
receivables  sold  amounted  to  $6,856  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. 

Furthermore,  in  2018  the  Group  conducted  several  operations  of 
reverse factoring for a value of $289 million. 

Credit risk is managed by the Group’s business segments as follows: 

—  Exploration & Production segment 

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 credit limits and reviewing 
outstanding balances. 

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. 

About the Professionals and Retail Gas and Power Sales activities, 
credit  risk  management  policy  is  adapted  to  the  type  of  customer 
either through the use of procedures of prepayments and appropriate 
collection, especially for mass customers or through credit insurances 
and  sureties / guarantees  obtaining.  For  the  Professionals  segment, 
the  separation  of  responsibilities  between  the  commercial  and 
financial teams allows a “a priori” positions risk control. 

—  Renewables and Innovation, Energy Efficiency (IEE) 

Internal procedures for the Renewables division and the Innovation & 
Energy  Efficiency  division  include  rules  on  credit  risk  management. 
Procedures  to  monitor  customer  risk  are  defined  at  the  local  level, 
especially  for  SunPower,  Saft  and  Greenflex  (rules  for  the  approval 
of credit limits, use of guarantees, monitoring and assessment of the 
receivables portfolio…). 

—  Refining & Chemicals segment 

—  Gas, Renewables & Power segment 

—  Refining & Chemicals 

—  Gas & Power activities 

Trading Gas & Power 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. 

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  Business  Unit  implements  the  procedures  of  the  activity  for 
managing  and  provisioning  credit  risk  according  to  the  size  of  the 
subsidiary and the market in which it operates. The principal elements 
of these procedures are:

–  implementation  of  credit  limits  with  different  authorization 

schemes; 

–  use of insurance policies or specific guarantees (letters of credit); 
–  regular monitoring and assessment of overdue accounts (aging 

balance), including dunning procedures. 

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. 

—  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 arranged with financial institutions, 
international  banks  and  insurance  groups  selected  in  accordance 
with strict criteria. 

The  Trading  &  Shipping  division  applies  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 

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.

NOTE 16  Financial instruments related to commodity contracts 

16.1  Financial instruments related to commodity contracts 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Financial  instruments  related  to  commodity  contracts,  including
crude  oil,  petroleum  products,  gas,  and  power  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. 

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.

16.2  Oil and Gas market related 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, and power. 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 16.1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 

Trading & Shipping: value-at-risk with a 97.5% probability 

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  is  based  on  the  end-of-day  exposures  and 
historical price movements of the last 400 business days for all traded 
instruments and maturities. Options are systematically re-evaluated 
using appropriate models. 

The “value-at-risk” represents the most unfavorable movement in fair 
value obtained with a 97.5% 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  and  power  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.

Reserves  estimations  are  performed  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 equity affiliate PAO 
Novatek. The assessment of the net proved liquids and natural gas 
reserves of certain properties owned by PAO Novatek was completed 
as of December 31, 2018, 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  the  total  net  proved  reserves  TOTAL  held  in 
Russia as of December 31, 2018. 

The  technical  validation  process  relies  on  a  Technical  Reserves 
Committee  that  is  responsible  for  approving  proved  reserves 
variations  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 
have  expertise  in  reservoir  engineering,  production  geology, 
production geophysics, reserves methodology, drilling and development 
studies. 

—  an annual review of affiliates reserves conducted by an internal 
group  of  specialists  selected  for  their  expertise  in  geosciences 
and engineering and 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 
and Support to Operations division, an SEC Reserves Committee 
chaired  by  the  Exploration  &  Production  Senior  Vice  President 
Corporate  Affairs  and  comprised  of  the  Development  and 
Support  to  Operations,  Strategy- Business  Development- R&D, 
Finance and Legal Senior Vice Presidents 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. 

An internal control process related to reserves estimation is formalized 
and involves the following elements: 

The  reserves  evaluation  and  control  process  is  audited  periodically 
by the Group’s internal auditors. 

—  a  central  Reserve  Entity  the  responsibility  of  which  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; 

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 20 years of experience in the oil and gas industry. He previously 
held  several  management  positions  in  the  Group  in  reservoir 
engineering and geosciences, and in the field of reserves evaluation 
and  control  process.  He  holds  an  engineering  degree  from  École 
Centrale  Paris,  France,  and  a  petroleum  engineering  degree  from 
École Nationale Supérieure du Pétrole et des Moteurs (IFP School), 
France.  He  is  a  member  of  the  UNECE  (United  Nations  Economic 
Commission  for  Europe)  Expert  Group  on  Resource  Classification, 
and an active member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers. 

9.1.2  Proved developed reserves 
As  of  December  31,  2018,  proved  developed  reserves  of 
hydrocarbons  (oil,  bitumen  and  gas)  were  8,400  Mboe  and 
represented 70% of the proved reserves. As of December 31, 2017, 
proved  developed  reserves  of  hydrocarbons  (oil,  bitumen  and  gas) 
were 7,010 Mboe and represented 61% of the proved reserves. As 

of December 31, 2016, proved developed reserves of hydrocarbons 
(oil, bitumen and gas) were 6,667 Mboe and represented 58% of the 
proved  reserves.  Over  the  past  three  years,  the  average  of  proved 
developed  reserves  renewal  has  remained  well  above  1,300  Mboe 
per year.

9.1.3  Proved undeveloped reserves 

As of December 31, 2018, TOTAL’s combined proved undeveloped 
reserves  (PUDs)  of  oil  and  gas  were  3,650  Mboe  compared  to 
4,465 Mboe at the end of 2017. 

The variation is due to (i) - 1247 Mboe converted from PUDs to proved 
developed reserves; (ii) +72 Mboe of revisions of previous estimates; 
(iii) - 136  Mboe  of  divestitures.  Variations  of  PUDs  not  included  in
opening  balance  correspond  to  +178  Mboe  related  to  extensions
and  discoveries,  +359  Mboe  from  acquisitions  and  - 40  Mboe
converted from PUDs to proved developed reserves.

In  2018,  910  Mboe  of  PUDs  were  converted  to  proved  developed 
through  the  start  up  of  production  of  Timimoun  (Algeria),  Kaombo 
Norte  (Angola),  Ichthys  (Australia),  Forth  Hills  (Canada),  and  Egina 
(Nigeria); 377 Mboe correspond to conversions of PUDs to developed 
reserves  on  other  fields.  These  developments  confirm  once  again 
the Group’s ability to develop and bring into production similar large 
scale and complex projects. 

In 2018, the cost incurred to develop proved undeveloped reserves 
(PUDs)  was  $8.8  billion,  which  represented  87%  of  2018 
development costs incurred, and was related to projects located for 
the most part in Angola, Nigeria, Australia, Norway, Canada, Brazil, 
the United Arab Emirates and the United States. 

The variations of PUDs due to acquisitions and divestitures consist 
mainly  of  the  acquisition  of  Maersk  Oil  assets  in  Norway  (Johan 
Sverdrup)  and  United  Kingdom  (Culzean),  the  acquisition  of  new 
assets in Brazil and the sales of 51% of Martin Linge. 

The  Group’s  PUDs  that  may  remain  undeveloped  for  five  years  or 
more after first disclosure (PUD5+) correspond to the remaining PUD 
on  large  scale  and  complex  development  projects  and  to  field 
development  projects  for  which  planning  is  controlled  by  capacity 
constrains.  Indeed,  although  the  Group  has  converted  significant 
amount of reserves associated to large scale and complex projects 
from  PUD5+  into  developed  reserves  in  2018,  those  projects  still 
hold PUD5+ that are expected to be developed over time as part of 
initial field development plans or additional development phases. 

In  addition,  some  projects  are  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  is  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  those  PUDs  as  proved  reserves,  despite  the  fact 
that  some  of  these  PUDs  may  remain  undeveloped  for  more  than 
five years. 

9.1.4  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, 2018, 2017 and 2016. 

Quantities shown correspond to proved developed and undeveloped 
reserves  together  with  changes  in  quantities  for  2018,  2017  and 
2016. 

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. 

Significant changes in proved reserves between 2017 and 2018 are 
discussed below. 

on a number of assets, partly compensated by lower entitlement 
share from production sharing and risked service contracts; and 

—-

 17 Mboe due to other revisions. 

The acquisitions in Europe and Central Asia, and in Middle East and 
North Africa, correspond mainly to the acquired Maersk Oil assets in 
the United Kingdom, Norway, Denmark and Algeria. 

The acquisitions in the Americas correspond mainly to new assets in 
Brazil. 

The sales in Europe and Central Asia correspond mainly to the sale 
in Norway. 

The  sales  in  Asia- Pacific  correspond  to  decrease  in  interest  in 
Australia. 

The  extensions  in  Europe  and  Central  Asia  correspond  mainly  to 
recognition  of  reserves  in  Denmark,  posterior  to  the  acquisition  of 
Maersk Oil. 

For  consolidated  subsidiaries,  the  revisions  of  +450  Mboe  for  the 
year 2018 were due to: 

The extensions in Middle East and North Africa correspond mainly to 
recognition of reserves in the United Arab Emirates and Algeria. 

—  +438  Mboe  due  to  new  information  obtained  from  drilling  and 
production history mainly in the United Arab Emirates, the United 
Kingdom and Angola; 

For  equity  affiliates,  the  revisions  of  +187  Mboe  for  the  year  2018 
were  mainly  due  to  new  information  obtained  from  drilling  and 
production history in Russia. 

—  +29 Mboe due to economic factors as a result of higher yearly 
average hydrocarbon prices, including a delayed economic limit 

The acquisitions in Russia correspond to the acquisition by Novatek 
of GeoTransGas and the increased interest in Novatek’s share capital.

SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND GAS INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) 

9.1.8  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: 

—  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 

—  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 net cash flows are discounted at a standard discount rate 

of 10%. 

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.

(a) The volumes used for calculation of the average sales prices are the ones sold from the Group’s own production. 
(b) The reported price represents an average aggregate price of prices for crude oil, condensates and NGL. The table does not include separate figures for NGL production prices because

the production of NGL represented less than 7.5% of the Group’s total liquids production in each of the years 2016, 2017 and 2018.

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. They are presented based on the Group share 
in each Project, whether the payments have been made directly by 
the  Group  Extractive  Companies  as  operator  or  indirectly  through 
third- party operating companies. 

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  accounting  standards)  are  reported  in 
proportion  of  the  interest  held  by  the  Extractive  Company  in  the 
Project  as  of  the  date  on  which  such  Production  entitlements  and 
Royalties are deemed to be acquired. 

Payments in kind are estimated at fair value. 

Fair value corresponds to the contractual price of hydrocarbons used 
to calculate Production entitlement, market price (if available) or an 
appropriate benchmark price. These prices might be calculated on 
an averaged basis over a given period.

10  STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TOTAL S.A. 

Statutory auditors’ report on the financial statements 

10.1  Statutory auditors’ report 

on the financial statements 

This is a translation into English of the statutory auditors’ report on the financial statements of the Company issued in French and it is provided 
solely for the convenience of English speaking users. 
This statutory auditors’ report includes information required by European regulation and French law, such as information about the appointment 
of the statutory auditors or verification of the management report and other documents provided to the shareholders. 
This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed in accordance with, French law and professional auditing standards applicable in France. 

To the Annual General Meeting of TOTAL S.A., 

Opinion 

In compliance with the engagement entrusted to us by your Annual General Meeting, we have audited the accompanying financial statements 
of TOTAL S.A. for the year ended December 31, 2018. 

In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities and of the financial position of the Company as at 
December 31, 2018 and of the results of its operations for the year then ended in accordance with French accounting principles. 

The audit opinion expressed above is consistent with our report to the Audit Committee. 

Basis for Opinion 

Audit Framework 

We conducted our audit in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained 
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

Our  responsibilities  under  those  standards  are  further  described  in  the  Statutory  Auditors’  Responsibilities  for  the  Audit  of  the  Financial 
Statements section of our report. 

Independence 

We conducted our audit engagement in compliance with independence rules applicable to us, for the period from January 1, 2018 to the date 
of our report and specifically we did not provide any prohibited non- audit services referred to in Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 
or in the French Code of Ethics (Code de déontologie) for statutory auditors. 

Justification of Assessments – Key Audit Matters 

In accordance with the requirements of Articles L. 823- 9 and R. 823- 7 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce) relating to the 
justification of our assessments, we inform you of the key audit matters relating to risks of material misstatement that, in our professional 
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period, as well as how we addressed those risks. 

These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we 
do not provide a separate opinion on specific items of the financial statements. 

Valuation of investments and loans to consolidated subsidiaries and equity affiliates 

Risk identified 

Our response 

Investments  and  loans  to  consolidated  subsidiaries  and  equity 
affiliates recorded in the balance sheet at December 31, 2018 for a 
net amount of 126 billion euros, representing 97% of the assets. 

To assess the estimate of the value in use of investments and loans 
to  consolidated  subsidiaries  and  equity  affiliates,  based  on  the 
information provided to us, our work consisted in: 

Investments  in  consolidated  subsidiaries  and  equity  affiliates  are 
accounted for at their acquisition date at cost, and loans to consolidated 
subsidiaries and equity affiliates are stated at their nominal value. 

—  testing the functioning of your Company’s key controls regarding 
the  process  to  determine  the  value  in  use  of  investments  and 
loans to consolidated subsidiaries and equity affiliates; 

As  indicated  in  the  section  entitled  “Investments  and  loans  to 
consolidated subsidiaries and equity affiliates” in the Note “Accounting 
policies” to the annual financial statements, these investments and 
loans are impaired as follows: 

—  assessing the conformity of the valuation method used by your 
Company  with  the  applicable  accounting  principles  and  its 
consistency  with  the  previous  fiscal  year,  according  to  the 
investments and loans concerned; 

In the Exploration & Production segment: 

—  in the absence of a development decision, depreciation allowances 
are  recorded  against  investments  and  loans  for  an  amount 
corresponding to the exploration costs incurred; 

—  when the existence of proved reserves is established, the value of 
the investments and loans is limited to the amounts of discounted 
future earnings. 

For other segments, allowances for impairment in value are calculated 
by reference to the Company’s equity in the underlying net assets, the 
fair  value  and  usefulness  of  the  investment.  Your  Company  relies  in 
particular on the forecasts of the discounted future earnings resulting 
from the strategic plan drawn up by the subsidiaries. 

Given the materiality of investments and loans to consolidated subsidiaries 
and  equity  affiliates  in  your  Company’s  financial  statements  and  the 
judgment required to assess their value in use and the determination 
of certain assumptions, including the probability of achieving the forecasts, 
we  considered  the  valuation  of  those  investments  and  loans  to 
consolidated subsidiaries and equity affiliates to be a key audit matter. 

—  on  a  sample  of  investments  and  loans  to  consolidated 
subsidiaries and equity affiliates, conducting a critical review of 
the conditions of implementation of this method by performing 
the following work, if applicable: 
–  assessing  the  consistency  of  the  assumptions  used  taking 
into  account  the  economic  environment  on  the  closing  and 
reporting dates, 

–  comparing  the  forecasts  of  the  discounted  future  earnings 
with  the  budget  and  the  strategic  plan  approved  by 
management, 

–  comparing  the  equity  used  for  valuation  with  the  equity 
resulting  from  the  accounts  of  the  entities  concerned,  that 
have undergone an audit or analytical procedures if necessary, 
and assessing the adjustments made, if any, on said equity. 

We also assessed the appropriateness of the information presented 
in  the  section  entitled  “Investments  and  loans  to  consolidated 
subsidiaries and equity affiliates” in the Note “Accounting policies” to 
the annual financial statements.

Specific verifications 

We  have  also  performed,  in  accordance  with  professional  standards  applicable  in  France,  the  specific  verifications  required  by  laws  and 
regulations. 

Information given in the management report and in the Other Documents with respect to the financial position 
and the financial statements provided to the Shareholders 

We have no matters to report as to the fair presentation and the consistency with the financial statements of the information given in the Board 
of Directors’ management report and in the other documents with respect to the financial position and the financial statements provided to 
the Shareholders. 

We attest that the information relating to payment terms referred to in article D. 441- 4 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce) 
is fairly presented and consistent with the financial statements. 

Report on Corporate Governance 

We  attest  that  the  Board  of  Directors’  Report  on  Corporate  Governance  sets  out  the  information  required  by  Articles  L.  225- 37- 3  and 
L. 225- 37- 4 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce). 

Concerning  the  information  given  in  accordance  with  the  requirements  of  Article  L.  225- 37- 3  of  the  French  Commercial  Code  (Code  de 
commerce) relating to remunerations and benefits received by the directors and any other commitments made in their favor, we have verified 
its  consistency  with  the  financial  statements,  or  with  the  underlying  information  used  to  prepare  these  financial  statements  and,  where 
applicable, with the information obtained by your Company from controlling and controlled companies. Based on these procedures, we attest 
the accuracy and fair presentation of this information. 

With respect to the information relating to items that your Company considered likely to have an impact in the event of a public purchase offer 
or exchange, provided pursuant to Article L. 225- 37- 5 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce), we have agreed these to the 
source documents communicated to us. Based on our work, we have no observations to make on this information. 

Other information 

In accordance with French law, we have verified that the required information concerning the purchase of investments and controlling interests 
and the identity of the shareholders or holders of the voting rights has been properly disclosed in the management report. 

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements 

Appointment of the Statutory Auditors 

We  were  appointed  as  statutory  auditors  of  TOTAL  S.A.  by  the  annual  general  meeting  held  on  May  13,  1998  for  KPMG  S.A.  (replacing 
CCAS, appointed in 1986, firm acquired by KPMG S.A. in 1997) and on May 14, 2004 for ERNST & YOUNG Audit. 

As at December 31, 2018, KPMG S.A. was in its 21st  year of total uninterrupted engagement and ERNST & YOUNG Audit in its 15th  year of 
total uninterrupted engagement. 

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements 

Management  is  responsible  for  the  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of  the  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  French  accounting 
principles and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free 
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In  preparing  the  financial  statements,  management  is  responsible  for  assessing  the  Company’s  ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern, 
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless it is expected to liquidate 
the Company or to cease operations. 

The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring the financial reporting process and the effectiveness of internal control and risks management 
systems and where applicable, its internal audit, regarding the accounting and financial reporting procedures. 

The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors. 

Statutory Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements 

Objectives and audit approach 

Our  role  is  to  issue  a  report  on  the  financial  statements.  Our  objective  is  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial 
statements as a whole are free from material misstatement. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an 
audit conducted in accordance with professional standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise 
from  fraud  or  error  and  are  considered  material  if,  individually  or  in  the  aggregate,  they  could  reasonably  be  expected  to  influence  the 
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

As specified in Article L. 823- 10- 1 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce), our statutory audit does not include assurance on 
the viability of the Company or the quality of management of the affairs of the Company. 

As part of an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France, the statutory auditor exercises professional 
judgment throughout the audit and furthermore: 

—  identifies and assesses the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, designs and performs 
audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtains audit evidence considered to be sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for 
his opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may 
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control; 

—  obtains  an  understanding  of  internal  control  relevant  to  the  audit  in  order  to  design  audit  procedures  that  are  appropriate  in  the 

circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control; 

—  evaluates the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made 

by management in the financial statements;

10  STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TOTAL S.A. 

Statutory auditors’ report on the financial statements 

—  assesses the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, 
whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue 
as a going concern. This assessment is based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of his audit report. However, future events or 
conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. If the statutory auditor concludes that a material uncertainty 
exists,  there  is  a  requirement  to  draw  attention  in  the  audit  report  to  the  related  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements  or,  if  such 
disclosures are not provided or inadequate, to modify the opinion expressed therein; 

—  evaluates the overall presentation of the financial statements and assesses whether these statements represent the underlying transactions 

and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 

Report to the Audit Committee 

We  submit  to  the  Audit  Committee  a  report  which  includes  in  particular  a  description  of  the  scope  of  the  audit  and  the  audit  program 
implemented, as well as the results of our audit. We also report, if any, significant deficiencies in internal control regarding the accounting and 
financial reporting procedures that we have identified. 

Our report to the Audit Committee includes the risks of material misstatement that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in 
the audit of the financial statements of the current period and which are therefore the key audit matters that we are required to describe in this 
report. 

We  also  provide  the  Audit  Committee  with  the  declaration  provided  for  in  Article  6  of  Regulation  (EU)  No.  537/2014,  confirming  our 
independence within the meaning of the rules applicable in France such as they are set in particular by Articles L. 822- 10 to L. 822- 14 of the 
French  Commercial  Code  (Code  de  commerce)  and  in  the  French  Code  of  Ethics  (Code  de  déontologie)  for  statutory  auditors.  Where 
appropriate, we discuss with the Audit Committee the risks that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and the related 
safeguards.

10  STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TOTAL S.A. 

Notes to the Statutory Financial Statements 
Note 1 

NOTE 1  Accounting policies 

The  2018  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance 
with  French  Generally  Accepted  Accounting  Principles  (“French 
GAAP”) in force. 

The  new  ANC  regulation  2018- 01  dated  April  20,  2018  amending 
regulation  ANC  2014- 03  on  the  general  chart  of  accounts  has  no 
significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. 

Accounting  principles  retained  for  the  elaboration  of  the  financial 
statements of the 2018 financial year are identical to those of 2017. 

value  of  the  investments  and  loans  is  limited  to  the  subsidiary 
expected pay- back evaluated at year- end. 

For other segments, allowances for impairment in value are calculated 
by reference to the Company’s equity in the underlying net assets, 
the fair value and usefulness of the investment. 

Other long- term financial investments are registered for their value of 
entrance to balance sheet. They are depreciated if the market value 
of the asset is lower than the net value. 

Property, plant and equipment 

Inventories 

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost except assets that 
were  acquired  before  1976  for  which  the  basis  has  been  revalued 
pursuant  to  French  regulations.  They  are  depreciated  according  to 
the straight- line method over their estimated useful life, as follows: 

Cost  for  crude  oil  and  refined  product  inventories  are  determined 
according  to  the  First- In,  First- Out  (FIFO)  method.  Inventories  are 
valued at either the historical cost or the market value, whichever is 
lower. 

Buildings

Furniture and fixtures

Transportation equipment

Office equipment and furniture

Computer equipment

Intangible assets 

These items include essentially: 

—  purchase prices or production cost of the software, depreciated 
on their useful life which is generally between 1 and 3 years; 

—  proved  mineral  interests  correspond  to  the  costs  of  the 
exploration  wells  which  result  in  proved  reserves.  The  costs  of 
activities  correspond  essentially  to  the  entrance  fees  and  the 
bonus  giving  access  to  proved  reserves.  When  the  production 
starts, the capitalized exploration wells are depreciated using the 
unit- of- production method based on proved developed reserves. 

20-30 years

5-10 years

2-5 years

5-10 years

Receivables and payables 

Receivables  and  payables  are  stated  at  nominal  value.  Allowances 
for doubtful debts are recorded when the actual value is inferior to 
the book value. 

3-5 years

Provisions and other non- current liabilities 

A provision is recognized when TOTAL S.A. 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 estimation. 

Foreign currency transactions 

Receivables  and  payables  in  foreign  currency  are  converted  into 
euros  at  the  year- end  exchange  rate.  Unrealized  foreign  exchange 
gains  or  losses  are  recognized  in  the  balance  sheet  as  “Currency 
translation  adjustment  asset  or  liability’’.  A  provision  for  risks  is 
recorded only for unrealized foreign exchange losses, generated by 
individual positions. 

Investments and loans to consolidated subsidiaries 
and equity affiliates 

Financial instruments 

Investments  in  consolidated  subsidiaries  and  equity  affiliates  are 
accounted  for  at  the  acquisition  cost,  or  the  appraised  value  for 
investments affected by the 1976 legal revaluation. 

TOTAL S.A. uses financial instruments for hedging purposes only in 
order to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates and foreign 
exchange rates. 

Loans to consolidated subsidiaries and equity affiliates are stated at 
their nominal value. 

In  the  Exploration  &  Production  segment,  in  the  absence  of  a 
development decision, allowances are recorded against investments 
and  loans  for  an  amount  corresponding  to  the  exploration  costs 
incurred. When the existence of proved reserves is established, the 

As  part  of  this  policy,  the  Company  may  use  interest  rate  swap 
agreements and forward transactions. The difference between interest 
to be paid and interest to be received on these swaps or premiums 
and discounts on these forward transactions is recognized as interest 
expense or interest income on a prorated basis, over the life of the 
instruments.

NOTE 9 Employee benefits obligations

TOTAL S.A. participates in death- disability, pension, early retirement
and  severance  pay  plans.  Expenses  for  defined  contribution  and
multi- employer plans correspond to the contributions paid.

TOTAL S.A. recorded €171 million as a provision for pension benefits
and other benefits as of December 31, 2018 and €285 million as of
December 31, 2017.

The actuarial assumptions used as of December 31, are the following:

Discount rate

Average expected rate of salary increase  

Average residual life expectancy of operations

For  defined  benefit  plans,  commitments  are  determined  using  a
prospective methodology called “projected unit credit method”. The
commitment actuarial value depends on various parameters such as
the length of service, the life expectancy, the employee turnover rate
and the salary increase and discount rate assumptions.

TOTAL S.A. records a provision in its accounts for the net actuarial
liability  of  the  plan  assets  and  the  deferred  gains  and  losses  to  be
amortized when this sum represents a pension liability.

Actuarial  gains  and  losses  resulting  from  changes  in  actuarial
assumptions  are  amortized  using  the  straight- line  method  over  the
estimated remaining length of service of employees involved.

The  reconciliation  between  the  total  commitment  for  pension  plans  not  covered  through  insurance  companies  and  the  provision  booked 
is as follows:

Notes 21, 22 and 23 

NOTE 21  Basis of taxation 

TOTAL  S.A.  is  subject  to  French  corporation  tax  according  to  the 
ordinary rules of law, i.e., based on the principle of territoriality of tax 
stipulated  in  the  French  Tax  Code  (Article  209- I).  It  is  also  taxed 
outside France on income from its direct operations abroad. 

—  Total Petrochemicals France; 
—  Total Marketing France; 
—  Total Raffinage Chimie; 
—  Total Marketing & Services. 

Moreover,  since  January  1,  1992,  TOTAL  S.A.  has  elected  the 
95%- owned French subsidiaries tax regime provided for by Articles 
223 A et seq. of the French Tax Code (Régime de l’intégration fiscale). 
In accordance with the integration agreement signed between TOTAL 
S.A. and its consolidated subsidiaries, the losses realized by these 
subsidiaries during the consolidation period are definitively acquired 
by the parent company. 

The tax group consists of the parent Company and 194 subsidiaries 
owned  for  more  than  95%  whose  main  contributors  to  the 
consolidated taxable income at December 31, 2018 are: 

—  TOTAL S.A.; 
—  Total Raffinage France; 

The  French  tax  rate  consists  of  the  standard  corporation  tax  rate 
(33.33%),  plus  additional  contributions  applicable  in  2018,  which 
brings the overall income tax rate to 34.43%. 

For  the  fiscal  year  2018,  TOTAL  S.A.  recorded  a  net  tax  profit  of 
€298  million  in  the  income  statement,  which  is  split  into  a  net  tax 
income  of  €682  million  mainly  from  the  payment  of  French 
subsidiaries under the tax consolidation scheme, less €384 million 
tax expense charged to foreign branches. 

TOTAL S.A. does not record deferred tax in its statutory financial statements; however, the main temporary differences are as follows:

NOTE 22  Foreign exchange and counterparty risk 

The  commercial  foreign  exchange  positions  are  systematically 
covered  by  the  purchase  or  sale  of  the  corresponding  currencies, 
mainly  with  cash  transactions  and  sometimes  on  forward  market. 
Regarding long- term assets in foreign currencies, the Company tries 
to reduce the corresponding exchange risk by associating them, as 
far as possible, with financing in the same currency.

(a)  The number of performance shares finally granted in 2016 has been adjusted by 226 performance shares granted in 2017. 

The performance shares, which are bought back by TOTAL S.A. on 
the  market,  are  finally  granted  to  their  beneficiaries  after  a  3- year 
vesting period for the 2013 plan and following plans, from the date of 
the  grant.  The  final  grant  is  subject  to  a  continued  employment 
condition  as  well  as  one  performance  condition  for  the  2013  and 
2014 plans and two performance conditions for the 2015 plans and 
subsequent plans. 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. 

2018 Plan 

The  Board  of  Directors,  on  March  14,  2018,  granted  performance 
shares to certain employees and executive directors of the Company 
or  Group  companies,  subject  to  the  fulfillment  of  the  presence 
condition and two performance conditions. 

The  presence  condition  applies  to  all  shares.  The  performance 
conditions apply for all shares granted to senior executives. The grant 
of the first 150 shares to non- senior executive are not subject to the 
performance  condition  abovementioned,  but  the  performance 
conditions will apply to any shares granted above this threshold. 

The performance conditions, weighting 50% of the final grant rate, 
are the Group’s ranking relative to those of its peers (ExxonMobil, 
Royal  Dutch  Shell,  BP  and  Chevron)  according  to  the  following 
two criteria: 

—  Total  Shareholder  Return  (TSR),  which  is  calculated  annually 
using the average of closing prices over one quarter, in USD, at 
the beginning and at the end of each three- year period (Q4 year 
N/Q4 year N- 3). The dividend is considered as being reinvested 
on closing price basis, on the ex- dividend date; and 

—  Annual variation in net cash- flow per share, in USD. 

TOTAL S.A.’s ranking will determine a grant rate for each year and 
each criteria: 

Ranking                                                                                             Grant rate 

1st place                                                                                  180% 

2nd place                                                                                 130% 

3rd place                                                                                   80% 

4th and 5th places                                                                       0% 

For each performance condition, the average of the three grant rates 
(on  each  of  the  three  financial  years  on  which  the  performance 
conditions are based), will be expressed in percentage and capped 
at 100%.

cost oil/gas

In  a  production  sharing  contract,  the  portion  of  the  oil  and  gas
production made available to the contractor (contractor group) and
contractually reserved for reimbursement of exploration, development,
operation  and  site  restitution  costs  (“recoverable”  costs).  The
reimbursement  may  be  capped  by  a  contractual  stop  that
corresponds  to  the  maximum  share  of  production  that  may  be
allocated to the reimbursement of costs.

brownfield project

GLOSSARY

cracking

ethane

Refining  process  that  entails  converting  the  molecules  of  large,
complex,  heavy  hydrocarbons  into  simpler,  lighter  molecules  using
heat, pressure and, in some cases, a catalyst. A distinction is made
between  catalytic  cracking  and  steam  cracking,  which  uses  heat
instead of a catalyst. Cracking then produces ethylene and propylene,
in particular.

crude oil

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.

D

Dated Brent

A market term representing the minimum value of physical cargoes
of Brent, Forties, Oseberg, or Ekofisk crude oil, loading between the
10th and the 25th day forward. Dated Brent prices are used, directly
and indirectly, as a benchmark for a large proportion of the crude oil
that is traded internationally.

A colorless, odorless combustible gas of the alkanes class composed
of two carbon atoms found in natural gas and petroleum gas.

ethanol

Also  commonly  called  ethyl  alcohol  or  alcohol,  ethanol  is  obtained
through  the  fermentation  of  sugar  (beetroot,  sugarcane)  or  starch
(grains). Ethanol has numerous food, chemical and energy (biofuel)
applications.

ethylene/propylene

Petrochemical  products  derived  from  cracking  naphtha  and  used
mainly  in  the  production  of  polyethylene  and  polypropylene,  two
plastics  frequently  used  in  packaging,  the  automotive  industry,
household appliances, healthcare and textiles.

F

fair value

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid
to transfer a liability in a transaction under normal conditions between
market participants at the measurement date.

debottlenecking

farm- in (or farm- out)

Change made to a facility to increase its production capacity.

desulphurization unit

Unit  in  which  sulphur  and  sulphur  compounds  are  eliminated  from
mixtures of gaseous or liquid hydrocarbons.

development

Operations carried out to access the proved reserves and set up the
technical  facilities  for  extraction,  processing,  transportation  and
storage of the oil and gas: drilling of development or injection wells,
platforms, pipelines, etc.

distillates

Products obtained through the atmospheric distillation of crude oil or
through  vacuum  distillation.  Includes  medium  distillate  such  as
aviation fuel, diesel fuel and heating oil.

E

effective tax rate

(Tax  on  adjusted  net  operating  income)/(adjusted  net  operating
income  –  income  from  equity  affiliates  –  dividends  received  from
investments – impairment of goodwill + tax on adjusted net operating
income).

effect of changes in fair value

The effect of changes in fair value presented as an adjustment item
reflects, for some transactions, differences between internal measures
of  performance  used  by  TOTAL’s  Executive  Committee  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, the future effects of which are recorded at fair
value in the Group’s internal economic performance. IFRS precludes
recognition of this fair value effect.

Acquisition (or sale) of all or part of a participating interest in an oil
and  gas  mining  property  by  way  of  an  assignment  of  rights  and
obligations  in  the  corresponding  permit  or  license  and  related
contracts.

farnesane

ERMI (European Refining Margin Indicator)

A  Group  indicator  intended  to  represent  the  margin  after  variable
costs for a hypothetical 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  this  region.  The  indicator

GLOSSARY

hydrocracker

net cash flow

A refinery unit that uses catalysts and extraordinarily high pressure,
in the presence of surplus hydrogen, to convert heavy oils into lighter
fractions.

Cash  flow  from  operating  activities  before  working  capital  changes
at replacement cost – net investments (including other transactions
with non- controlling interests).

I

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.  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 price
differentials 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.
