Total is aware that social inequality manifests itself at a very early age, and seeks to combat disparities via activities geared toward current social realities.

Total’s educational philanthropy aims to help young people find their way out of social exclusion and make a secure start in life. By tackling the reasons for educational failure at their root, Total improves future employment prospects for younger generations.

Of the various activities Total is involved in, partnership agreements have been signed with the apfEE (association for effective schooling), the Télémaque Foundation, Sciences Po and the Charles de Gaulle Foundation.

With a presence in 130 countries, Total and its employees are aware of the difficulties facing certain communities. That’s why many Total employees have decided to work as volunteers in healthcare, education, social services and local development.

Autistic adults and children, the homeless, families in difficulty, and unemployed youth: Total employees work in projects that contribute to social integration for everyone. Their work – in drop-in centers, on training courses and via workshops – is organized to allow marginalized people

Solidarity and corporate philanthropy is particularly active in Africa where numerous Total  employees’initiatives are conducted in conjunction with local associations.
