32 - Integrating Climate into our Strategy
Reducing Our
Manufacturing
Customers’
Energy Bills
To meet the needs and expectations
of our customers from the
manufacturing sector, we constantly
expand our services offering
and develop the most effective
solutions to manage energy use.
To help us do this, we rely on
the expertise of TENAG, our
German joint venture, and of recently
acquired BHC Energy in France.
We offer customers solutions
to perform energy audits, deploy
energy management systems
and develop their employees’ skills
in these areas. Since 2011, our
solutions have reduced our French
customers’ energy use by 10 TWh
a year and have cut €150 million off
our German customers’ energy bills1.

In Germany, reductions in our industrial customers’
consumption range from 2% a year for a water supplier
to 3% a year for a chocolate maker, a pharmaceuticals
producer and a flat glass manufacturer to 5% a year
for a textile company and up to 13% a year in the
agrifood sector.
MORE THAN 80 PRODUCTS
AND SERVICES HAVE EARNED
THE TOTAL ECOSOLUTIONS LABEL
Under this program, we develop innovative
solutions that outperform the market standard
in terms of environmental and health impact.
In 2015, sales of Total Ecosolutions products
and services avoided 1.7 million tons
of carbon emissions across the entire
life cycle, or the equivalent of the annual
emissions of nearly 190,000 Europeans2.

Offering Eco-Efficient
Products and Services
Around 85% of greenhouse gas
emissions associated with oil
and gas occur when finished
products are used. That’s why
helping our customers reduce
their energy use is a key focus
of our efforts to curb emissions.
One way we aim to achieve this
is through an array of sustainable
transportation solutions:
New Product Ranges
to Improve Fuel Efficiency
Two years of R&D went into
developing TOTAL EXCELLIUM
Next Generation fuels. Using
these fuels keeps engines cleaner,
reducing air pollutant and carbon
emissions. The entire lineup has been
awarded the Total Ecosolutions label.
The Fuel Economy lubricant range
improves fuel efficiency by decreasing
friction between engine parts.
We are also developing lubricants
that incorporate biocomponents
to deliver enhanced performance.
Materials to Make
Vehicles Lighter
We develop polymers using
proprietary processes and
formulations to provide
manufacturers with cutting-edge
materials. Polypropylene body parts
trim 100 kilograms off the weight
of a standard vehicle, reducing
fuel consumption by 0.4 liters per
100 kilometers and carbon emissions
by 10 grams per kilometer.
Partnerships to Promote
New Forms of Transportation
Attitudes, behaviors and use
are changing fast, driven by
the spread of new technologies
and the sharing economy.
We believe in the importance
of this transformation and are
teaming up with top-ranked players
in the transportation sector.
One example is our partnership
with the French start-up BlaBlaCar,
a global leader in ride sharing.
