Contractors and suppliers
TotalEnergies works with over 100,000 suppliers of goods and services worldwide, for a total spend of £27 billion in 2022. So we can play a major role in encouraging our suppliers to improve their sustainability.
We are implementing a responsible purchasing program which puts the four dimensions of our sustainability ambition at the heart of the purchasing process. The program has four operational priorities, each with its own target, set in January 2022.

Fundamental principles of purchasing
