The risks of soil pollution related to TotalEnergies’ operations come mainly from accidental spills and waste storage. TotalEnergies has drawn up a guide that the subsidiaries can use to prevent and contain this pollution. The recommended approach is based on four pillars:
- preventing leaks, by implementing, in the majority of sites, 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;
- managing any pollution from previous activities by means of containment and reduction or elimination operations.
