Environment and sustainable development: Meeting new challenges

Respecting persons, safety and ecosystem protection is central to Total Lubrifiants' preoccupations.

As a global player in the energy and chemicals industries, Total is fully engaged with these developments and issues.

At Total Lubrifiants, sustainable development finds its application through Product Life-cycle Analysis. From manufacture to collection of used oils, our lubricants are examined and monitored in terms of their environment impacts using ISO 14001 standard procedures.

Product life cycle

"Life Cycle Analysis methodology is used for identifying and reducing the impact of our lubricants on the environment. With this approach, respect for the environment may be built into the design of new consumer products, right from the start."

Olivier DAUTREBANDE Director for Sustainable Development
