History and strategy of TOTAL  
1. History and strategy of TOTAL  
1.1. History and development  
TOTAL S.A., a French société anonyme (limited company)  
incorporated on March 28, 1924 is, together with its subsidiaries  
and affiliates, the world’s fourth largest publicly-traded integrated oil  
TOTAL began its Upstream operations in the Middle East in 1924.  
Since then, the Company has grown and expanded its operations  
worldwide. In early 1999, the Company took over PetroFina S.A.  
and in early 2000 it took over Elf Aquitaine. Since the repeal in 2002  
of the decree of December 13, 1993 that established a golden  
share of Elf Aquitaine held by the French government, there are  
no longer any agreements or regulatory provisions governing  
shareholding relationships between TOTAL and the French  
government. Information on TOTAL S.A.’s shareholding structure  
is presented in point 4.1 of chapter 8.  
and gas company(1)  
.
With operations in more than 130 countries, TOTAL is engaged in  
every sector of the oil and gas industry, including upstream  
(hydrocarbon exploration, development and production) and  
downstream (refining, petrochemicals, specialty chemicals, trading and  
shipping of crude oil and petroleum products and marketing). TOTAL is  
also involved in the renewable energies and power generation sectors.  
1.2. Strategy  
TOTAL is a leading international oil and gas company and aims to  
be the responsible energy major by helping to supply accessible,  
affordable and clean energy to as many people as possible. To  
accomplish this goal, TOTAL leverages its integrated business  
model, which enables it to capture synergies between the different  
activities of the Group. To achieve its ambition, TOTAL relies upon  
its operational excellence, technological expertise and capacity to  
manage complex projects.  
– expanding along the full gas value chain by unlocking access to  
new markets, and developing profitable low-carbon businesses,  
in particular renewable energies.  
This strategy incorporates the challenges of climate change, using  
as a point of reference the 2°C scenario of the International Energy  
Agency and its impact on energy markets. TOTAL’s challenge is to  
increase access to affordable energy to satisfy the needs of a  
growing population, while providing concrete solutions to help limit  
the effects of climate change and supplying its clients with an  
energy mix featuring a progressively decreasing carbon intensity.  
The Group’s strategy is based on four main priorities:  
driving profitable, sustainable growth in  
Exploration & Production’s hydrocarbon activities, with priority  
given to reducing production costs, disciplined investments and  
cash flow generation;  
In addition to safety, the values of respect, responsibility and  
exemplary conduct underpin TOTAL’s Code of Conduct and  
accompany priority business principles in the realms of  
continuing to enhance the competitiveness of major integrated  
refining and petrochemical platforms;  
increasing the distribution of petroleum products, particularly in  
high-growth regions, and offering innovative solutions and  
services that meet customers’ evolving needs above and beyond  
the supply of petroleum products; and  
safety/security/health/environment, integrity (preventing corruption,  
fraud and anti-competitive practices) and human rights. It is  
through strict adherence to these values and principles that TOTAL  
intends to build strong and sustainable growth for the Group and its  
stakeholders and deliver on its commitment to better energy.

1.3. Group organization  
In order to implement TOTAL’s strategy and in line with the “One  
Total” company project, a new organization, fully effective since  
January 1, 2017, was put in place and is structured around four  
business segments following the creation of the Gas,  
Renewables & Power (GRP) segment, alongside the existing  
Exploration & Production, Refining & Chemicals and  
Marketing & Services segments.  
service companies for internal clients across all four business  
segments and the corporate Holding level.  
Finally, the diverse Corporate entities were regrouped in two  
divisions.  
The new People & Social Responsibility division consists of: the  
Human Resources division, including Senior Executive  
Management; the Health, Safety and Environment division, which  
combines HSE departments across the different segments to  
establish a strong, unified environmental and safety model; the  
Security division; and the new Civil Society Engagement division.  
The GRP segment spearheads TOTAL’s ambitions in low-carbon  
businesses by expanding in downstream gas and renewable  
energies as well as in energy efficiency businesses. This segment  
brings together the Gas and New Energies divisions (excluding  
biotechnologies) and a new Innovation & Energy efficiency division.  
Concerning bioenergies, a new Biofuels division now regroups  
within the Refining & Chemicals segment all these activities.  
The new Strategy-Innovation division is made of: a new Strategy &  
Climate division, responsible notably for ensuring that TOTAL’s strategy  
incorporates climate issues; the Public Affairs division; the Audit  
division; the Research & Development division (which replaces  
the Scientific Development Department and now coordinates  
all of the Group’s R&D activities and notably transversal programs  
In order to improve efficiency, reduce costs and create value within  
the Group, the new branch Total Global Services (TGS) pools  
the various segments’ support services (Accounting, Purchasing,  
Information Systems, Training, Human Resources Administration  
and Facilities Management). The entities making up TGS operate as  
such as on carbon capture, use and storage of CO

Upstream segment  
2. Business overview for fiscal year 2016  
2.1. Upstream segment  
TOTAL’s Upstream segment includes the activities of Exploration &  
Production and Gas. The Group has exploration and production  
activities in more than 50 countries and produces oil and gas in  
approximately 30 countries. The Gas division conducts downstream  
activities related to natural gas, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)  
and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), as well as power generation  
and trading.  
Within the context of the One Total new organization, as of financial  
year 2017, Upstream activities will be reported within two segments:  
the Exploration & Production segment and the new Gas,  
Renewables & Power segment, which includes downstream gas  
activities (see point 1.3 of this chapter).

Upstream adjusted net operating income was $3,633 million for the full-year 2016, compared to $4,774 million in 2015, a decrease of 24%,  
mainly due the impact of lower hydrocarbon prices which was partially offset by the increase in production combined with the decrease in  
operating costs as well as the lower effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for the Upstream was 26.6% in 2016 compared to 45.5% in 2015.

.1.1. Exploration & Production  
Organic investments(1) from all Exploration & Production subsidiaries  
were $14.5 billion(2) in 2016, compared to $20.5 billion in 2015 and  
Exploration & Production (E&P)’s mission is to discover and develop  
oil and gas fields in order to meet growing energy demand. Safety  
is a core value for that mission.  
$23 billion in 2014, and were mainly in Angola, the Republic of the  
Congo, Nigeria, Norway, Canada, Australia, Kazakhstan, the United  
Kingdom, Russia, the United States, Abu Dhabi, Indonesia and Brazil.  
In an environment marked by the strong volatility of hydrocarbon  
prices, E&P’s strategy is to develop an oil and gas production model  
that is resilient (i.e., able to withstand a long period of low oil and  
gas prices), profitable and sustainable.  
2.1.1.2. Reserves  
The definitions used for proved, proved developed and proved  
undeveloped oil and gas reserves are in accordance with the United  
States Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 4-10 of  
Regulation S-X as amended by the SEC Modernization of Oil and  
Gas Reporting release issued on December 31, 2008. Proved  
reserves are estimated using geological and engineering data to  
determine with reasonable certainty whether the crude oil or natural  
gas in known reservoirs is recoverable under existing regulatory,  
economic and operating conditions.  
This strategy is based on three main levers:  
increase profitability: E&P strives to maximize the value of its  
assets through operational excellence and to ensure strict  
investment discipline by being selective in the sanctioning of new  
projects. In addition, E&P continues to restructure or sell the least  
performing assets in its portfolio;  
develop operational excellence: in order to ensure its resilience,  
E&P continues to reduce costs, improve the efficiency of its  
installations and start up projects on time and within budget. E&P  
also seeks to minimize the environmental impact of its activities; and  
renew reserves, through exploration as well as accessing already  
discovered resources, building on E&P’s competitive advantages  
in terms of geographical spread and technical skills.  
TOTAL’s oil and gas reserves are consolidated annually, taking into  
account, among other factors, levels of production, field reassessments,  
additional reserves from discoveries and acquisitions, disposal of  
reserves and other economic factors.  
Unless otherwise indicated, any reference to TOTAL’s proved reserves,  
proved developed reserves, proved undeveloped reserves and  
production reflects the Group’s entire share of such reserves or  
such production. TOTAL’s worldwide proved reserves include the  
proved reserves of its consolidated subsidiaries as well as its  
proportionate share of the proved reserves of equity affiliates. The  
reserves estimation process involves making subjective judgments.  
Consequently, estimates of reserves are not exact measurements  
and are subject to revision under well-established control procedures.  
E&P is exiting a heavy investments phase, which peaked in 2013  
and which is expected to enable production to increase 5% on  
average per year over the period of 2014-2020. That growth is  
supported, on the one hand, by the start-up of 12 major projects in  
2017 and 2018 and, on the other hand, by the improvement of the  
facilities’ operational efficiency. In 2016, 5 projects were started up,  
contributing to production growth of 4.5% compared to 2015.  
The reserves booking process requires, among other things:  
2.1.1.1. Exploration and development  
that internal peer review of technical evaluations are carried out  
to ensure that the SEC definitions and guidance are followed; and  
that management makes significant funding commitments  
towards the development of the reserves prior to booking.  
TOTAL evaluates exploration opportunities based on a variety  
of geological, technical, political, economic (including tax and  
contractual terms) environmental and societal factors.  
The exploration strategy deployed since 2015 aims to prioritize  
the most promising drill targets with a view to creating value and  
resources. The Group plans balanced exploration investments:  
For further information concerning the reserves and their evaluation  
process, see points 1 and 2 of chapter 11.  
50% for core and emerging basins, where the presence of  
hydrocarbons is already proven;  
Proved reserves for 2016, 2015 and 2014  
In accordance with the amended Rule 4-10 of Regulation S-X,  
proved reserves at December 31 are calculated using a 12-month  
average price determined as the unweighted arithmetic average of  
the first-day-of-the-month price for each month of the relevant year  
unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding  
escalations based upon future conditions. The average reference  
prices for Brent crude for 2016, 2015 and 2014 were, respectively,  
42.82 $/b, 54.17 $/b and 101.27 $/b.  
25% for near-field exploration around producing assets; and  
25% for high-potential frontier basins.  
In 2015, a new organization for the Group’s exploration activities,  
adapted to the new strategy, was implemented with a new senior  
exploration management team. The organizational changes,  
focused notably on strengthening regional basin mastery and  
technical excellence, were finalized in 2016 with the transfer of  
Asia-Pacific and Americas regional hubs to Singapore and  
Houston, respectively.  
As of December 31, 2016, TOTAL’s combined proved reserves of oil  
and gas were 11,518 Mboe (58% of which were proved developed  
reserves). Liquids (crude oil, condensates, natural gas liquids and  
bitumen) represented approximately 47% of these reserves and  
natural gas 53%. These reserves were located in Europe (mainly in  
Norway and the United Kingdom), Africa (mainly in Angola, Gabon,  
Nigeria and the Republic of the Congo), the Americas (mainly in  
Canada, Argentina, the United States and Venezuela), the Middle  
East (mainly in Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen), and  
Asia-Pacific (mainly in Australia) and in Kazakhstan and Russia.  
In 2016, exploration expenditure from all Exploration & Production  
subsidiaries was $1.4 billion, mainly in the United States, Norway,  
Papua New Guinea, Brazil, Iraq, Bulgaria, Myanmar and the United  
Kingdom, compared to $1.9 billion in 2015 and $2.6 billion in 2014.  
The 2017 exploration budget is $1.25 billion.

At a constant oil price (54.17 $/b) the proved reserves were 11,905  
Mboe. The difference between the proved reserves based on SEC  
rules and the proved reserves based on a constant price is mainly  
due to the debooking of proved undeveloped reserves of Canadian

The tables on the following pages set forth TOTAL’s annual and  
average daily production of liquids and natural gas by geographic  
area and for each of the last three fiscal years.  
the 3-year period ended December 31, 2016 (before deducting  
production and sales of reserves in place and adding any acquisitions  
of reserves in place during this period). The net level of reserve  
revisions during this 3-year period is +505 Mboe, which was mainly  
due to the overall positive revisions in field behaviors and to the  
positive impact of the decrease in hydrocarbon prices in 2015  
and 2016 that led to a reserves increase on fields with production  
sharing or service contracts and on Canadian bitumen fields (royalty  
effect), which was partially offset by the reserves decrease resulting  
from the suspension or cancellation due to economic reasons of  
capital expenditures associated with, or from shorter producing life  
of, certain producing fields.  
Consistent with industry practice, TOTAL often holds a percentage  
interest in its fields rather than a 100% interest, with the balance  
being held by joint venture partners (which may include other  
international oil companies, state-owned oil companies or government  
entities). The Group’s entities may frequently act as operator (the  
party responsible for technical production) on acreage in which it  
holds an interest. Refer to the table “Presentation of production  
activities by region” on the following pages for a presentation of the  
Group’s producing assets.

As in 2015 and 2014, substantially all of the liquids production from  
TOTAL’s Upstream segment in 2016 was marketed by the Trading &  
Shipping division of TOTAL’s Refining & Chemicals segment (refer to

over three years. At a constant price (54.17 $/b in 2015), the proved  
reserve replacement rate was 136% in 2016.  
As of December 31, 2015, TOTAL’s combined proved reserves of oil  
and gas were 11,580 Mboe (53% of which were proved developed  
reserves) compared to 11, 523 Mboe (50% of which were proved  
developed reserves) as of December 31, 2014. Liquids (crude oil,  
condensates, natural gas liquids and bitumen) at year-end 2015  
represented approximately 48% of these reserves and natural gas  
the remaining 52% and, at year-end 2014, approximately 46% of  
these reserves and natural gas the remaining 54%.

.1.1.4. Delivery commitments  
The majority of TOTAL’s natural gas production is sold under long-  
term contracts. However, its North American production, and part  
of its production from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and  
Norway, is sold on the spot market. The long-term contracts under  
which TOTAL sells its natural gas usually provide for a price related  
to, among other factors, average crude oil and other petroleum  
product prices, as well as, in some cases, a cost-of-living index.  
Though the price of natural gas tends to fluctuate in line with crude  
oil prices, a slight delay may occur before changes in crude oil  
prices are reflected in long-term natural gas prices.  
Sensitivity to oil and gas prices  
Changes in the price used as a reference for the proved reserves  
estimation result in non-proportionate inverse changes in proved  
reserves associated with production sharing and risked service  
contracts (which together represent approximately 19% of TOTAL’s  
reserves as of December 31, 2016). Under such contracts, TOTAL  
is entitled to a portion of the production, the sale of which is meant  
to cover expenses incurred by the Group. As oil prices decrease,  
more barrels are necessary to cover the same amount of expenses.  
Moreover, the number of barrels recoverable under these contracts  
may vary according to criteria such as cumulative production, the  
rate of return on investment or the income-cumulative expenses  
ratio. This increase is partly offset by a reduction of the duration  
over which fields can be produced economically. However, the  
decrease in reserves due to this reduction is generally less than the  
increase in reserves under production sharing or risked service  
contracts due to such lower prices. As a result, lower prices usually  
lead to an increase in TOTAL’s reserves. In Canada, a decrease in  
the reference price per barrel used as a reference for estimating  
proved reserves leads to a decrease in the volume of royalties and,  
therefore, an increase of the proved reserves, and vice versa.  
Some of TOTAL’s long-term contracts, notably in Bolivia, Indonesia,  
Nigeria, Norway, Thailand and Qatar, specify the delivery of quantities  
of natural gas that may or may not be fixed and determinable.  
Such delivery commitments vary substantially, both in duration  
and scope, from contract to contract throughout the world.  
For example, in some cases, contracts require delivery of natural  
gas on an as-needed basis, and, in other cases, contracts call for  
the delivery of varied amounts of natural gas over different periods  
of time. Nevertheless, TOTAL estimates the fixed and determinable  
quantity of gas to be delivered over the period 2017-2019 to be  
4,734 Bcf. The Group expects to satisfy most of these obligations  
through the production of its proved reserves of natural gas, with,  
if needed, additional sourcing from spot market purchases  
(refer to points 1 and 2 of chapter 11).  
2.1.1.5. Contractual framework of activities  
Licenses, permits and contracts governing the Group’s ownership  
of oil and gas interests have terms that vary from country to country  
and are generally granted by or entered into with a government  
entity or a state-owned company and are sometimes entered into  
with private owners. These agreements usually take the form of  
concessions or production sharing contracts.  
Lastly, for any type of contract, a significant decrease in the  
reference price of petroleum products that negatively impacts  
projects profitability may lead to a reduction of proved reserves.

In the framework of oil concession agreements, the oil company  
owns the assets and the facilities and is entitled to the entire  
production. In exchange, the operating risks, costs and investments  
are the oil company’s responsibility and it agrees to remit to the  
relevant host country, usually the owner of the subsoil resources, a  
production-based royalty, income tax, and possibly other taxes that  
may apply under local tax legislation.  
In some countries, TOTAL has also signed contracts called “risked  
service contracts”, which are similar to PSCs. However, the profit oil  
is replaced by a defined cash monetary remuneration, agreed by  
contract, which depends notably on field performance parameters  
such as the amount of barrels produced.  
Oil and gas exploration and production activities are subject to  
authorization granted by public authorities (licenses), which are  
granted for specific and limited periods of time and include an  
obligation to relinquish a large portion, or the entire portion in case  
of failure, of the area covered by the license at the end of the  
exploration period.  
The production sharing contract (“PSC”) involves a more complex  
legal framework than the concession agreement: it defines the  
terms and conditions of production sharing and sets the rules  
governing the cooperation between the company or consortium in  
possession of the license and the host country, which is generally  
represented by a state-owned company. The latter can thus be  
involved in operating decisions, cost accounting and production  
allocation. The consortium agrees to undertake and finance all  
exploration, development and production activities at its own risk.  
In exchange, it is entitled to a portion of the production, known as  
TOTAL pays taxes on income generated from its oil and gas  
production and sales activities under its concessions, PSCs and  
risked service contracts, as provided for by local regulations.  
In addition, depending on the country, TOTAL’s production and  
sales activities may be subject to a number of other taxes, fees and  
withholdings, including special petroleum taxes and fees. The taxes  
imposed on oil and gas production and sales activities are generally  
substantially higher than those imposed on other industrial or  
commercial businesses.  
“cost oil”, the sale of which is intended to cover its incurred  
expenses (capital and operating costs). The balance of production,  
known as “profit oil”, is then shared in varying proportions, between  
the company or consortium, on the one hand, and the host country  
or state-owned company, on the other hand.  
Today, concession agreements and PSCs can coexist, sometimes  
in the same country or even on the same block. Even though there  
are other contractual models, TOTAL’s license portfolio is  
comprised mainly of concession agreements.  
On most licenses, the partners and authorities of the host country,  
often assisted by international accounting firms, perform joint  
venture and PSC cost audits and ensure the observance of  
contractual obligations.

The Group’s production was 4 kboe/d in 2016 and is expected to  
gradually increase between now and the end of 2017. In July 2016,  
TOTAL withdrew from the Nurmunaï North and South onshore  
exploration licenses (51.1%, operator) located in the southwest of  
the country, due to negative results from the two exploration wells  
drilled in 2015.  
– On OML 139 (18%), the Owowo-3 exploration well, drilled  
in 2016, confirmed the discovery of oil made in 2012 and should  
enable progress in the preparation of the development plan.  
The discovery is located near OML 138 (20%), where three oil  
discoveries were made in 2014 and 2015.  
– OML 130 (24%, operator): the development of the Egina field  
(200 kboe/d capacity) launched in 2013 is underway, and  
production is expected to start in 2018. The assessment of the  
Preowei field is planned in 2017.  
In Italy, TOTAL holds stakes in the Tempa Rossa field (50%, operator),  
located on the Gorgoglione concession (Basilicate region), and  
three exploration licenses. The Tempa Rossa development project  
is underway, with production expected to start at the end of 2017.  
On OML 102 (40%, operator), in 2014 TOTAL stopped routine  
flaring on the Ofon field (Ofon phase 2 project). The gas  
associated with the production of oil is now compressed and  
sent onshore to the Nigeria LNG plant. All activities of the Ofon 2  
project were completed in 2016 and the drilling of 24 additional  
wells, started in 2015, continues.  
In Azerbaijan, TOTAL signed an agreement in November 2016  
establishing the contractual and commercial conditions for a first  
phase of production of the Absheron gas and condensate field  
located in the Caspian Sea and discovered by TOTAL in 2011  
– On OML 99 (40%, operator), studies are ongoing for the

(40%, operator). The agreement enabled to define a cost-competitive  
development scheme by tying the field to existing infrastructure in  
order to deliver gas at a competitive price. The capacity production  
from this high pressure field is expected to be approximately 35 kboe/d.  
The produced gas will supply Azerbaijan’s domestic market.  
– On OML 118 (12.5%), the Bonga field contributed 19 kboe/d to  
the Group’s production in 2016. Optimization studies of the  
Bonga South West Aparo project (10% unitized) are ongoing  
with an investment decision target in 2018.  
In France, the Group’s production ended in 2014 with the sale of  
the Lacq concessions to Geopetrol. Total E&P France remains the  
owner of parts of the Lacq industrial site, located in the southwest  
of France, and is carrying out decommissioning, dismantling and  
site rehabilitation activities.  
TOTAL has onshore operations (production was 83 kboe/d in 2016),  
notably:  
On OML 58 (40%, operator), under its joint venture with Nigerian  
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), a gas production  
capacity of 550 Mcf/d was reached and delivery of gas to the  
Nigerian domestic market started in 2016.  
In Bulgaria, where TOTAL has been present since 2012, the Group  
drilled a deep offshore exploration well in 2016 on the Han Asparuh  
block (14,220 km²), 100 km offshore in the Black Sea, which revealed  
the presence of oil in this area for the first time.  
– In relation to the SPDC joint venture (10%), which includes 20 oil  
mining leases (of which 17 are located onshore), the 2016  
production was 46 kboe/d (of which 43 kboe/d was onshore).  
TOTAL sold its 10% interest in OML 24 (in 2014) and OMLs 18  
and 29 (in 2015), operated via the SPDC joint venture. In addition,  
the sale process of OML 25 is underway.  
In Denmark, TOTAL relinquished the two shale gas exploration  
licenses (80%, operator) it acquired in 2010, in July 2015 for the  
license 2/10 (Nordsjaelland) and in June 2016 for the license 1/10

Dalia Phase 1A went into production and the start of multiphase  
pumps enabled production to be increased at Girassol. The Zinia  
phase 2 project, a satellite development of Pazflor, is moving forward.  
On the ultra-deep offshore Block 32 (30%, operator), the Kaombo  
project was launched in 2014 to develop the discoveries in the  
southeast part of the block via two FPSOs (floating production  
storage and offloading facilities) with a capacity of 115 kb/d  
In Nigeria, the Group’s production, primarily offshore, was 243 kboe/d  
in 2016, compared to 245 kboe/d in 2015 and 257 kboe/d in 2014.  
This drop in production was due mainly to the sale of interests in  
certain licenses of the Shell Petroleum Development Company  
(SPDC) joint venture as well as to difficult operational security  
conditions in the Niger delta that had a negative impact on onshore  
production and, in particular, the oil export of the Forcados terminal  
operated by Shell.

are currently being assessed.  
On Block 14 (20%)(1), production comes from the Tombua-  
Landana and Kuito fields as well as the BBLT project, comprising  
the Benguela, Belize, Lobito and Tomboco fields.  
Block 14K (36.75%) is the offshore unitization area between  
Angola (Block 14) and the Republic of the Congo (Haute Mer  
license). The Lianzi field, which is connected to the existing BBLT  
platform (Block 14), started production in 2015. TOTAL’s interest  
in the unitized zone is held 10% through Angola Block 14 BV and  
transfer of operatorship in various mature assets. The transaction is  
subject to approval by the authorities.  
In Uganda, a growth area for the Group TOTAL has been present

operator of licenses EA-1 and EA-1A. In January 2017, TOTAL  
signed an agreement to acquire 21.57% of the 33.33% interest  
held by Tullow in the licenses EA-1, EA-1A, EA-2 and EA-3. TOTAL  
will take over operatorship from Tullow of license EA-2, enabling  
significant efficiency gains and synergies. This agreement remains  
subject to the approvals of the Ugandan authorities and the pre-  
emption rights of the partners.  
26.75% through Total E&P Congo.  
On Block 0 (10%), the second phase of the Mafumeira field  
development project started production in March 2017.  
In April 2016, the Government of Uganda decided to export the  
Lake Albert oil through a pipeline (EACOP) via Tanzania to the port  
of Tanga. In August 2016, the production licenses for EA-1 and  
EA-2 were formally granted. The partners of the Uganda Joint  
Venture have launched the FEED (Front End Engineering and  
Design) phase for the Upstream and the EACOP pipeline.  
TOTAL is also developing its LNG activities through the Angola LNG  
project (13.6%), which includes a gas liquefaction plant near Soyo  
supplied by gas associated with production from Blocks 0, 14, 15,  
1
7 and 18. LNG production started in 2013, but various technical  
incidents required an extended shutdown of the plant. LNG  
production restarted in May 2016. Taking into account the revised  
gas price assumptions, an impairment on Angola LNG was  
recognized in the 2016 Consolidated Financial Statements.  
Rest of the zone of Africa  
TOTAL also holds interests in exploration licenses in South Africa,  
Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya, Mauritania, Mozambique and the Democratic  
Republic of the Congo, and is negotiating with the authorities with a  
view to resuming exploration activities in the Republic of South  
Sudan. In July 2016, TOTAL withdrew from the Bemolanga license  
in Madagascar.  
In the Bas-Congo basin, TOTAL is also the operator of exploration  
Block 17/06 (30%).  
In the deep offshore Kwanza basin, TOTAL is the operator of  
Blocks 25 (35%) and 40 (40%).The Block 39 license (7.5%) expired

In Libya, where security conditions remain unstable, the Group’s  
production was 14 kboe/d in 2016 and in 2015, compared to  
27 kboe/d in 2014. This production comes from blocks located on  
offshore areas 15, 16 and 32 (Al Jurf, 75%(4)), which have not been  
affected by security issues. Since the fourth quarter of 2014,  
production as well as exploration activities have been stopped  
on Mabruk – onshore areas 70 and 87 (75%(4)) – and on the fields  
of El Sharara – onshore area 130 and 131 (24%(4)). The production  
on the fields of El Sharara – onshore area 129 and 130 (30%(4)) –  
resumed at the end of December 2016. Taking into account the  
uncertain context in Libya, an impairment on the onshore assets  
was recognized in the 2015 Consolidated Financial Statements.  
In June 2016, TOTAL signed an agreement granting it a 30% stake  
in the Al-Shaheen offshore oil field concession for a period of 25  
years beginning July 14, 2017. The Al-Shaheen field has been  
producing since 1994 and lies offshore 80 km north of Ras Laffan.  
Production, which represents approximately half of Qatar’s oil  
production(1), is provided by 30 platforms and 300 wells. As of  
July 2017, the Al-Shaheen field will be operated by a new operating  
company, North Oil Company, held by TOTAL (30%) and Qatar  
Petroleum (70%).  
TOTAL operates the Al Khalij field (40%, operator) and participates  
in the production, processing and exporting of gas from the North  
Field through its stakes in the Qatargas 1 and Qatargas 2 LNG  
plants and in Dolphin Energy:  
In Yemen, the Group had no production in 2016, compared to  
17 kboe/d in 2015 and 84 kboe/d in 2014. Due to the security  
conditions in the vicinity of Balhaf, Yemen LNG, in which the Group  
holds a stake of 39.62%, stopped its commercial production and  
export of LNG in April 2015, when Yemen LNG declared force majeure  
to its various stakeholders. The plant is in a preservation mode.  
Qatargas 1: TOTAL holds a 20% stake in the upstream block of  
Qatargas 1 supplying the three LNG trains of Qatargas 1  
(capacity of 10 Mt/y), in which the Group has a 10% interest.  
Qatargas 2: the Group holds a 16.7% stake in train 5, which has  
an LNG production capacity of 8 Mt/y. TOTAL offtakes part of the  
LNG produced under the 2006 contracts that provide for the  
purchase of 5.2 Mt/y of LNG by the Group.  
Dolphin Energy (24.5%): the contract signed in 2001 with Qatar  
Petroleum provides for the production and sale of gas and liquids  
from the Dolphin block located on the North Field. Raw gas is  
processed at the Dolphin plant in Ras Laffan, where the liquids  
are extracted. This gas is then routed to the United Arab  
Emirates by a 360 km gas pipeline in order to be sold (contract  
of 2 Bcf/d over a 25-year period).  
TOTAL is a partner in Block 5 (Marib basin, Jannah license, 15%)  
and holds various stakes in four onshore exploration licenses.  
In Iran, TOTAL signed a heads of agreement in November 2016  
to develop phase 11 of the giant South Pars gas field (expected  
production capacity of 370 kboe/d), pursuant to which TOTAL is  
expected to operate South Pars 11 with a 50.1% interest alongside  
Petropars (19.9%), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the National  
Iranian Oil Company (“NIOC”), and the Chinese state-owned  
company CNPC (30%). The produced gas is expected to supply  
the Iranian domestic market. Two development phases are  
planned: the first for the construction of two platforms, 30 wells  
and two connecting lines to existing onshore treatment facilities,  
and the second for the installation of offshore compression facilities.  
This project fits with TOTAL’s strategy of expanding its presence in  
the Middle East and growing its gas portfolio by adding a low unit  
cost, long plateau gas asset. For further information on the  
international sanctions concerning Iran, refer to point 1.9  
of chapter 4 (Risk factors).  
In Oman, the Group’s production was 37 kboe/d in 2016,

Following the exercise of its preemption right, TOTAL acquired in  
November 2016 the 75% stake held by Chesapeake in the Barnett  
shale gas assets area located in North Texas, in which the Group  
had already a 25% interest since 2009. This transaction provides  
for the restructuring of the gas gathering and transportation contracts  
with respect to the acquired stake. The planned work relates to well  
intervention and well restarts. No wells were drilled in 2016 compared  
to 4 in 2015 and 40 in 2014.  
The Incahuasi gas field, located in the Aquio and Ipati Blocks,  
started production in August 2016. A second development  
phase, which would involve the drilling of three additional wells,  
is under consideration.  
TOTAL holds a 50% stake in the Azero exploration license  
located in the Andean foothills, which extends over an area of  
more than 7,800 km². The exploration period began in 2014.

In the Gulf of Mexico, TOTAL holds interests in the deep offshore  
fields Tahiti (17%) and Chinook (33.33%). In Tahiti, the Tahiti Vertical  
Expansion (TVEX) project was launched in 2016 in order to extend  
the production level of the field.  
Construction of the Fort Hills oil sands mining project was more  
than 80% complete at year-end 2016, and the operator expects  
to start production at the end of 2017.  
The TOTAL (40%) – Cobalt (60%, operator) alliance, formed in 2009  
for exploration in the Gulf of Mexico, continued its work to delineate  
the North Platte discovery.  
As a result of a full comparative analysis of its global asset portfolio  
in the context of lower oil prices, the Group decided in 2015 to  
decrease its exposure to Canadian oil sands and reduced its stake  
in Fort Hills from 39.2% to 29.2%. An impairment on the part  
of the asset sold was recognized in the 2015 Consolidated  
Financial Statements.  
In Argentina, TOTAL operated approximately 30%(1) of the country’s

.1.2. Gas  
New LNG sources are expected to support the growth of the Group’s  
LNG portfolio, including Ichthys LNG (Australia), Yamal LNG(3)  
The activities of TOTAL in the gas business have a primary objective  
to contribute to the growth of the Group by ensuring market outlets  
for its current and future natural gas production.  
(Russia), trains 3 and 5 of Sabine Pass LNG (United States) and  
Cameron LNG (United States).  
TOTAL has entered into several significant long-term agreements  
throughout the world for the sale of LNG from the Group’s global LNG  
portfolio, notably in China, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea and Spain.  
Beyond the production and liquefaction of natural gas (refer to point  
2.1.1 of this chapter), TOTAL actively markets natural gas, which is  
sold either by pipeline or in the form of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)  
and develops a downstream portfolio for its trading and shipping  
activities, as well as regasification terminals.  
LNG shipping  
As part of its LNG transport activities, TOTAL uses two long-term  
chartered LNG tankers: since 2006, the Arctic Lady, with a capacity  
of 145,000 m³, and since 2011, the Meridian Spirit, with a capacity  
of 165,000 m³, primarily for the transport of volumes from Snøhvit  
in Norway.  
In order to enhance the value of the Group’s gas resources, the  
activities of Gas also include the trading and marketing of natural  
gas, LNG, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and electricity as well as  
shipping of LNG and LPG. The Group also has stakes in  
infrastructure companies (including regasification terminals, natural  
gas transportation and storage, and power plants) necessary to  
implement its strategy.  
TOTAL continues to develop its fleet. The Group also signed a long-  
term charter agreement in 2013 with SK Shipping and Marubeni  
for two 180,000 m³ LNG tankers. The vessels will serve to fulfill  
the purchase obligations of Total Gas & Power Limited, including  
commitments relating to the Ichthys and Sabine Pass projects.  
They will be among the largest LNG tankers to navigate the  
Panama Canal and are expected to be delivered in 2017 and 2018  
respectively.  
2.1.2.1. Purchases, sales and shipping of LNG  
A pioneer in the LNG industry, TOTAL is today one of the world’s  
leading players(1) in the sector and has sound and diversified  
positions both in the upstream and downstream portions of the  
LNG chain. LNG development is a key element of the Group’s  
strategy, strengthening its positions in most major production zones  
and markets.  
2.1.2.2. Trading  
In 2016, TOTAL continued its strategy downstream from natural  
gas and LNG production by developing its trading, marketing and  
logistics activities. The aim of this strategy is to optimize access for  
the Group’s current and future production to markets supplied  
based on long-term contracts and to markets open to international  
competition (with short-term contracts and spot sales). Furthermore,  
the Group is developing new LNG markets by promoting LNG  
import infrastructure projects such as described in point 2.1.2.4,  
below. The Group also has operations in electricity trading and the  
marketing of LPG and petcoke. Since 2016, TOTAL has also been  
active in the marketing of sulfur. In 2016, the Group stopped its  
coal trading activities.  
Through its stakes in liquefaction plants located in Qatar, the United  
Arab Emirates, Oman, Nigeria, Norway, Yemen, Angola and  
Australia and its gas supply agreement with the Bontang plant in  
Indonesia, the Group markets LNG in all global markets. In 2016,  
the share of LNG production sold by TOTAL was 11 Mt, compared  
to 10.2 Mt in 2015 and 12.2 Mt in 2014. The reduction between  
2
014 and 2015 was due to force majeure being declared in 2015  
for the Yemen LNG( joint venture due to the deterioration of  
security conditions. The growth of LNG production sold by TOTAL  
over the coming years is expected to be ensured by the Group’s  
liquefaction projects under construction in Australia and Russia and  
by projects currently under consideration, including a new project in  
Papua New Guinea and the expansion of the Nigeria LNG plant.  
2)  
The trading teams are located in London, Houston, Geneva and  
Singapore.  
In January 2017, TOTAL finalized the acquisition of approximately 23%  
of Tellurian Investments Inc. (“Tellurian”), announced in December 2016,  
in order to develop an integrated gas project, from the acquisition of gas  
produced at a competitive cost in the United States to the delivery  
of LNG to international markets from the Driftwood LNG terminal.  
Driftwood LNG is in the engineering design and pre-filing phase.  
Gas and electricity  
TOTAL is pursuing gas and electricity trading operations in Europe  
and North America in order to sell the Group’s production, to supply  
its marketing subsidiaries and to support other entities of the Group.  
In Europe, TOTAL traded 887 Bcf (25.1 Bcm) of natural gas in  
Long-term Group LNG purchases and sales  
2016, compared to 849 Bcf (24 Bcm) in 2015 and 911 Bcf (25.8 Bcm)  
TOTAL acquires long-term LNG volumes mainly from liquefaction  
projects in which the Group holds an interest, including Qatargas 2  
in 2014. The Group also traded 49.1 TWh of electricity in 2016,  
compared to 41.1 TWh in 2015 and 44.8 TWh in 2014, mainly from  
external sources.

Upstream segment  
LNG  
In 2016, the volumes of gas delivered to the industrial and commercial  
segments were 4 Bcf (0.1 Bcm) in Belgium (Total Gas & Power  
Belgium) and 9 Bcf (0.3 Bcm) in the Netherlands (Total Gas & Power  
Nederland B.V.), an increase with respect to previous years, these  
two subsidiaries having started marketing gas in 2013.  
TOTAL operates LNG trading activities through both spot sales and  
long-term contracts such as those described in point 2.1.2.1  
above. Significant sales and purchase agreements (SPAs) have  
permitted appreciable development of the Group’s activities in LNG  
trading, especially in the Asian markets (China, South Korea, India  
and Japan). The spot and fixed-term LNG portfolio allows TOTAL to  
supply gas to its main customers worldwide, while retaining a  
sufficient degree of flexibility to react to market opportunities.  
In 2015, the natural gas marketing subsidiaries in France, Germany,  
Belgium and the Netherlands extended their activities to the  
marketing of electricity to industrial and commercial consumers.  
The volumes sold in 2016 are still modest.  
In 2016, TOTAL purchased 51 contractual cargoes under long term  
contracts (from Qatar, Nigeria and Norway) and 19 spot or medium  
term cargoes, compared to, respectively, 64 and 20 in 2015 and 88  
and 7 in 2014. Deliveries from Yemen LNG have been interrupted  
since April 2015.  
As part of its development strategy for its gas and electricity  
marketing activities, TOTAL finalized in September 2016 the  
acquisition of Lampiris, the third-largest gas and electricity supplier  
in Belgium with more than 750,000 metering points. Lampiris is  
also active in France, where it markets gas and electricity to the  
residential and commercial segments.  
LPG  
In Spain, TOTAL markets natural gas to the industrial and  
commercial segments through Cepsa Gas Comercializadora, in  
which it holds a 35% stake. In 2016, the volumes of gas sold  
reached 100 Bcf (2.8 Bcm), compared to 105 Bcf (3.0 Bcm) in  
2015 and 94 Bcf (2.7 Bcm) in 2014.  
In 2016, TOTAL traded nearly 5.3 Mt of LPG (propane and butane)  
worldwide, compared to 5.8 Mt in 2015 and 5.5 Mt in 2014. Nearly  
28% of these quantities come from fields or refineries operated by  
the Group. This trading activity was conducted by means of 9 time-  
chartered vessels. In 2016, 323 voyages were necessary for  
transporting the negotiated quantities, including 217 journeys  
carried out by TOTAL’s time-chartered vessels and 106 journeys by  
spot-chartered vessels.  
In Argentina, the subsidiary Total Gas Marketing Cono Sur oversees  
the marketing of gas on behalf of Total Austral, the Group’s  
production subsidiary in Argentina. In 2016, the volumes of gas  
sold reached 142 Bcf (4.0 Bcm), compared to 128 Bcf (3.6 Bcm)  
in 2015 and 131 Bcf (3.7 Bcm) in 2014.  
Petcoke and sulfur  
The Group also holds stakes in the marketing companies that are  
associated with the LNG regasification terminals located at Altamira  
in Mexico and Hazira in India.  
TOTAL has been trading petcoke produced since 2011 by the Port  
Arthur refinery in the United States. 1.1 Mt of petcoke were sold  
on the international market in 2016, compared to 1.1 Mt in 2015  
and 1.3 Mt in 2014.  
2.1.2.4. Gas facilities  
In 2014, TOTAL began trading petcoke from the Jubail refinery in  
Saudi Arabia. In 2016, 890 kt were sold, compared to 720 kt in  
Downstream from its natural gas and LNG production activities,  
TOTAL holds stakes in natural gas transport networks and LNG  
regasification terminals.  
2015 and 100 kt in 2014.  
Petcoke is sold to cement producers and electricity producers  
mainly in India, as well as in Mexico, Brazil and other Latin  
American countries and in Turkey.  
Transportation and storage of natural gas  
The Group holds stakes in several natural gas transportation  
companies located in Brazil and Argentina. These companies are  
facing a difficult operational and financial environment in Argentina.  
In 2016, TOTAL sold 0.7 Mt of sulfur, mainly from its refineries’  
production.  
In France, TOTAL sold in February 2016 its stake in Géosud, which  
held an interest in Géométhane, a company that owns and  
operates several natural gas storage caverns in Manosque.

.1.2.3. Marketing  
To optimize its position throughout the value chain and to leverage  
the synergies from the Group’s other activities, TOTAL has been  
developing the business of marketing natural gas and electricity to  
end users.  
LNG regasification  
TOTAL has entered into agreements to obtain long-term access to  
LNG regasification capacity worldwide: in the Americas (United  
States, Mexico and Brazil), Europe (France and the United  
Kingdom), Asia (India) and Africa (Côte d’Ivoire). This diversified  
market presence allows the Group to access new liquefaction  
projects by becoming a long-term buyer of a portion of the LNG  
produced, thereby strengthening TOTAL’s LNG supply portfolio.  
In the United Kingdom, TOTAL markets gas and electricity to the  
industrial and commercial segments through its subsidiary Total  
Gas & Power Ltd. In 2016, the volumes of gas sold were 143 Bcf  
(
(
4.0 Bcm), compared to 140 Bcf (4.0 Bcm) in 2015 and 135 Bcf  
3.8 Bcm) in 2014. Electricity sales were 7.4 TWh in 2016,  
compared to 6.0 TWh in 2015 and 5.3 TWh in 2014.  
In France, TOTAL operates in the natural gas market through  
its marketing subsidiary Total Énergie Gaz, the sales of which were  
In France, TOTAL holds a 27.5% stake in the company Fosmax

In Mexico, TOTAL has reserved 25% of the regasification capacity  
of the Altamira receiving terminal, i.e., 59 Bcf/y (1.7 Bcm/y), through  
its 25% stake in Gas del Litoral.  
In a context of increasing global demand for electricity, TOTAL has  
developed expertise in the power generation sector, especially  
through cogeneration and combined-cycle power plant projects.  
In the United States, TOTAL has reserved a regasification capacity  
of approximately 353 Bcf/y (10 Bcm/y) in the Sabine Pass terminal  
In Abu Dhabi, the Taweelah A1 gas-fired power plant, which is  
owned by Gulf Total Tractebel Power Company (TOTAL, 20%),  
combines electricity generation and water desalination. The plant, in  
operation since 2003, currently has a net power generation capacity  
of 1,600 MW and a water desalination capacity of 385,000 m³ per  
day. The plant’s production is sold to Abu Dhabi Water and  
Electricity Company (ADWEC) as part of a long-term agreement.  
(Louisiana) for a 20-year period until 2029. In 2012, TOTAL and  
Sabine Pass Liquefaction (SPL) signed agreements allowing SPL to  
gradually obtain access to TOTAL’s reserved capacity. Access to  
38 Bcf/y commenced in 2012, growing to 195 Bcf/y from the start-  
up of train 3 scheduled in 2017 and plateauing at substantially all of  
TOTAL’s capacity from the start-up of train 5 scheduled in 2019. In  
return, SPL will pay TOTAL a fee linked to the capacity assigned.  
In Thailand, in September 2016 TOTAL sold the 28% stake it held  
in Eastern Power and Electric Company Ltd which operates the  
Bang Bo gas-fired combined cycle power plant with a capacity of  
350 MW.  
In India, TOTAL holds a 26% stake in the Hazira receiving terminal,  
with a regasification capacity of 244 Bcf/y (6.9 Bcm/y). Located in  
the Gujarat state, this merchant terminal with operations that cover  
both LNG regasification and gas marketing, received 60 vessels  
In Brazil, as part of its strategic alliance with Petrobras, TOTAL  
expects to proceed with the acquisition from Petrobras of a 50%  
interest in two co-generation plants located in the Bahia area.  
(equivalent) in 2016, compared to 57 in 2015 and 45 in 2014.  
In Côte d’Ivoire, a consortium led by TOTAL (34%, operator) has  
been assigned responsibility for developing and operating an LNG  
regasification terminal in Abidjan with a capacity of 3 Mt/y and a  
start-up scheduled in 2018.  
2.1.2.6. End of coal production and trading

target of reducing capacity in Europe.  
The Group operates eight refineries in Western Europe (one in  
Antwerp, Belgium, five in France in Donges, Feyzin, Gonfreville,  
Grandpuits and La Mède, one in Immingham in the United  
Kingdom and one in Leuna, Germany) and owns stakes in the  
Vlissingen refinery (Zeeland) in the Netherlands and the Trecate  
refinery in Italy through its interest in TotalErg.  
The strategy of Refining & Chemicals integrates a constant  
requirement of safety, a core value of the Group, and priority given  
to respect of the environment. In a context of rising worldwide  
demand for oil and petrochemicals driven by non-OECD countries  
and the entry of new capacities into the market, the strategy  
involves:  
The Group’s main petrochemical sites in Europe are located in  
Belgium, in Antwerp (steam crackers, aromatics, polyethylene) and  
Feluy (polyolefins, polystyrene), and in France, in Carling (polyethylene,  
polystyrene), Feyzin (steam cracker, aromatics), Gonfreville (steam  
crackers, aromatics, styrene, polyolefins, polystyrene) and Lavéra  
improving competitiveness of refining and petrochemicals  
activities by making optimal use of industrial means of  
production, concentrating investments on large integrated  
platforms and adapting production capacity to changes in  
demand in Europe;  
developing petrochemicals in the United States and the Middle  
East by exploiting the proximity of advantaged oil and gas  
resources in order to supply growth markets, in particular Asia; and  
innovating in low-carbon solutions/products by developing  
biofuels and biopolymers as well as materials and solutions  
contributing to the energy efficiency of the Group’s customers,  
in particular in the automotive market.  
(
steam cracker, aromatics, polypropylene). Europe accounts for 49%  
of the Group’s petrochemicals capacity, i.e., 10,383 kt at year-end  
016, compared to 10,394 kt at year-end 2015 and 10,909 kt at

year-end 2014.  
– In France, the Group continues to adapt its refining capacity and  
to improve its operational efficiency against the backdrop of  
structural decline in the demand for petroleum products in Europe.  
In 2016, TOTAL continued the significant modernization plan  
announced in April 2015 for its refining facilities in France, in  
particular at La Mède, with an investment decision made in 2015  
for over 200 million to transform the site and in particular create  
the first bio-refinery in France. The first step relating to this  
investment took place at the end of 2016 when the treatment of  
crude oil was ended. The industrial transformation of La Mède  
will allow TOTAL to respond to the growing demand for biofuel in  
Europe. Other activities, such as a logistics and storage platform,  
a solar energy farm, a training center and an AdBlue production  
plant(4), will also be developed on the site.

.2.1.1. Refining and petrochemicals  
TOTAL’s refining capacity was 2,011 kb/d as of December 31,  
016, compared to 2,247 kb/d at year-end 2015 and 2,187 kb/d at  
2
year-end 2014. TOTAL has equity stakes in 19 refineries (including  
nine operated by companies of the Group), located in Europe, the  
United States, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.  
The Refining & Chemicals segment manages refining operations  
located in Europe (excluding TotalErg in Italy), the United States, the  
Middle East, Asia and Africa(2) with a capacity of 1,962 kb/j at year-  
end 2016, i.e., 98% of the Group’s total capacity.  
In Donges, the 400 million investment project for the construction  
of intermediate feedstock desulfurization units and hydrogen  
production units is being considered. This program requires the  
re-routing of the railroad track that currently crosses the refinery.  
A three-party memorandum of intent to fund this re-routing work  
between the state, local authorities and TOTAL was signed at the  
end of 2015.  
The petrochemicals businesses are located mainly in Europe, the  
United States, Qatar, South Korea and Saudi Arabia. Most of these  
sites are either adjacent to or connected by pipelines to Group  
refineries. As a result, TOTAL’s petrochemical operations are  
integrated within its refining operations, thereby maximizing synergies.  
Between 2011 and 2016, the Group reduced its production  
capacities in Europe by 20%, thereby fully meeting the target it had  
set itself for 2017. The year 2016 saw the continuation of plans to  
adapt the Lindsey refinery in the United Kingdom with closure at the  
end of September of one of the two atmospheric distillation towers,  
and the La Mède refinery in France with stoppage in December of  
the crude oil treatment prior to the transformation of the site into a  
In 2014, the Group completed its industrial plan, launched in  
2009, to reconfigure the Gonfreville refinery in Normandy by  
commissioning a new diesel desulfurization unit. In addition,

has high-level platforms in these markets which are ideally  
positioned for growth.  
In Saudi Arabia, TOTAL has a 37.5% stake in the company  
SATORP (Saudi Aramco Total Refining and Petrochemical Company),  
which operates the Jubail refinery. It has been fully operational since  
mid-2014 and technical and financial completions were reached in  
June 2016. This refinery has an initial capacity of 400 kb/d and is  
situated close to Saudi Arabia’s heavy crude oil fields. The refinery’s  
configuration enables it to process these heavy crudes and sell  
fuels and other light products that meet strict specifications and are  
mainly intended for export. The refinery is also integrated with  
petrochemical units: a 700 kt/y paraxylene unit, a 200 kt/y  
propylene unit, and a 140 kt/y benzene unit.  
In Germany, TOTAL operates the Leuna refinery (100%).  
In 2015, the Group completed the sale of its stake in the Schwedt  
refinery (16.7%) and acquired a majority stake in Polyblend, a  
manufacturer of polyolefin compounds that are mainly used in  
the automotive industry.  
In Belgium, the Group launched a major project in 2013 to  
modernize its Antwerp platform which is expected to be  
commissioned in 2017:  
-
new conversion units in response to the shift in demand towards  
lighter petroleum products with a very low sulfur content,  
a new unit to convert part of the combustible gases recovered  
from the refining process into raw materials for the  
petrochemical units.  
In China, TOTAL holds a 22.4% stake in WEPEC, a company that  
operates a refinery located in Dalian. Discussions are underway to  
sell this stake to the Chinese partners of the joint venture.  
-
In addition, the Group is developing a project to enable greater  
flexibility on one of the steam-cracking units in order to process  
European ethane as from 2017.  
The Group is also active through its polystyrene plant in Foshan in  
the Guangzhou region and its polystyrene plant in Ningbo in the  
Shanghai region, each with a capacity of 200 kt/y.  
In the United Kingdom, TOTAL decreased the capacity of the  
Lindsey refinery by half in 2016, reducing it to 5.5 Mt/y. The  
investment plan also focused on improving the conversion ratio,  
adapting logistics and simplifying the refinery’s organization,  
thereby lowering the site’s break-even point.  
In South Korea, TOTAL has a 50% stake in Hanwha Total  
Petrochemicals Co., Ltd. (“HTC”), which operates a petrochemical  
complex in Daesan (condensate splitter, steam cracker, styrene,  
paraxylene, polyolefins). Following the launch in 2014 of new  
aromatics (paraxylene and benzene) and polymer units (EVA2), HTC  
continued to expand its activities in 2015 with debottlenecking of  
the steam cracker and a styrene unit thereby raising its ethylene  
production capacity to 1.09 Mt/y and styrene production capacity  
to 1.04 Mt/y. At the end of 2016, the EVA2 unit was

investments in a favorable economic environment.  
At Port Arthur, TOTAL holds at the same site a 100% interest in a  
1
78 kb/d capacity refinery and a 40% stake in BASF Total  
In Qatar, the Group holds interests(1) in two ethane-based steam  
crackers (Qapco, Ras Laffan Olefin Cracker – RLOC) and four  
polyethylene lines (Qapco, Qatofin), including the Qatofin linear low-  
density polyethylene plant in Messaied with a capacity of 550 kt/y  
and a 300 kt/y low-density polyethylene line operated by Qapco,  
which started up in 2012. The Group is considering the  
debottlenecking of these sites to optimize benefits from the  
available ethane in the region.  
Petrochemicals (BTP), which has a condensate splitter and a steam  
cracker. The Group continues to work on strengthening the  
synergies between these two plants.  
A pipeline connecting the Port Arthur refinery to the Sun terminal in  
Nederland was commissioned in 2014 to facilitate access to all  
domestic crudes, which are priced advantageously compared to  
the international market. Following investments to adapt its  
furnaces and the construction of a tenth ethane furnace, which was  
commissioned in 2014, BTP’s cracker can produce more than 1  
Mt/year of ethylene, including more than 85% from advantaged  
feedstock (ethane, propane, butane). BTP thus benefits from  
favorable market conditions in the United States. In addition,  
in mid-2016, TOTAL completed detailed studies (FEED) for the  
construction of a new ethane steam cracker with an ethylene  
production capacity of 1 Mt/y on the Port Arthur site, in synergy  
with the refinery and BTP steam cracker.  
TOTAL holds a 10% stake in the Ras Laffan condensate refinery,  
the capacity of which increased to 300 kb/d following completion of  
the project to double the refinery’s capacity; the new facilities were  
commissioned in late 2016.  
In Africa, the Group holds interests in four refineries (Cameroon,  
Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, South Africa) after the sale of its interest  
in the refinery in Gabon in 2016. Refining & Chemicals provides  
technical assistance for two of these refineries: the Natref refinery  
with a capacity of 109 kb/d in South Africa and the SIR refinery  
with a capacity of 80 kb/d in Côte d’Ivoire.

Development of new avenues for the production  
of fuels and polymers  
Biomass to polymers  
TOTAL is actively involved in developing activities associated  
with the conversion of biomass to polymers. The main area of focus  
is developing drop-in solutions for direct substitutions, by incorporating  
biomass into the Group’s existing units, for example HVO or other  
hydrotreated vegetable oil co-products in a naphtha cracker, and  
developing the production of new molecules such as polylactic acid  
polymer (PLA). Thus, in November 2016, the Group signed a  
cooperation agreement with Corbion to create a joint venture for  
construction of a PLA production site in Thailand.  
TOTAL is exploring new ways to monetize carbon resources,  
conventional or otherwise (natural gas, biomass, waste). These projects  
are part of the Group’s commitment to building a diversified energy

mix generating lower CO emissions.  
As regards biomass development, TOTAL is pursuing several  
industrial and exploratory projects. The scope of these developments  
is broad since they entail defining access to the resource (nature,  
sustainability, location, supply method, transport), the nature of the  
molecules and target markets (fuels, petrochemicals, specialty  
chemicals) and the most appropriate, efficient and environmentally  
friendly conversion processes.  
2.2.1.2. Specialty chemicals  
As part of active management of its business portfolio, TOTAL  
completed in early 2017 the sale of its subsidiary Atotech,  
Biomass to fuels  
specialized in electroplating technologies. In 2016, Atotech had  
almost 4,000 employees with 18 production sites in the world and  
its sales were 1 billion ($1.1 billion). In 2015, TOTAL also completed  
the sale of its subsidiary Bostik, specialized in adhesive chemicals.  
In Europe, TOTAL produces biofuel, notably hydrotreated vegetable  
oils (HVO) for incorporation into diesel, and ether produced from  
ethanol and isobutene (ETBE) for incorporation into gasoline.  
In 2016, the Group blended, at its European refineries and  
several depots(1), 424 kt of ethanol(2) in gasoline, and 1,872 kt  
of fatty-acid-methyl-ester (FAME) or HVO(2) in diesel.  
Hutchinson actively contributes to the mobility of the future by  
addressing its customers’ needs (automotive, aerospace and major  
industries – defense, rail, energy) in order to offer a greater level of  
safety, comfort and energy performance, as well as more responsible  
solutions.  
In addition, as part of the La Mède refinery transformation program  
announced in 2015, the Group will construct the first bio-refinery in  
France. Work is expected to begin in 2017 with a view to reaching  
a production capacity of almost 500 kt/y of biofuel, mainly high-quality  
biodiesel (HVO), but also biojet and petrochemical bio-feedstocks.  
This will therefore allow the La Mède plant to meet the growing  
biofuel market. Furthermore, the Group entered into a partnership  
in 2016 with Suez to increase the supply and the recycling of used  
oil, which could then be processed at La Mède.  
The company draws on wide-ranging expertise and deploys its  
know-how from the custom design of materials to the integration of  
connected solutions: structural sealing solutions, precision sealing,  
management of fluids, materials and structures, anti-vibration  
systems and transmission systems.  
To serve its customers, Hutchinson had 89 production sites across  
the world (of which 56 are located in Europe and 18 in North America)  
and 34,200 employees at December 31, 2016.  
In 2016, TOTAL engaged in extensive research activity targeting the  
emergence of new biofuel solutions. Construction now underway  
as part of the BioTFuel consortium of a pilot demonstration unit on  
the Dunkirk site is expected to lead to commencement in 2017 of a  
gasification test program for conversion of biomass into fungible,  
sulfur-free fuels.  
Hutchinson’s sales were 4.0 billion ($4.5 billion) in 2016, up 5.4%  
compared to 2015 and 16.7% compared to 2014. This growth was  
due to outperformance on the world’s automotive markets, especially  
among German and Asian manufacturers. In 2016, Hutchinson also  
performed well on its other markets, particularly commercial aircrafts.

2.2.2. Trading & Shipping  
2.2.2.1. Trading  
Trading & Shipping focuses on serving the Group’s needs by:  
In 2016, crude oil prices reached their lowest point in January and  
then strengthened progressively, while remaining low, with high  
volatility and a reduction in the contango(1) structure of certain oil  
indexes compared with 2015. Significant storage capacities in  
different parts of the world, made available through leases,  
contributed to the strong performance of Trading’s activities. The  
Group’s offices in Houston and Singapore also contributed to the  
growth of results by expanding their respective activities.  
selling and marketing the Group’s crude oil production;  
providing a supply of crude oil for the Group’s refineries;  
importing and exporting the appropriate petroleum products for  
the Group’s refineries to be able to adjust their production to the  
needs of local markets;  
chartering appropriate ships for these activities; and  
undertaking trading on various derivatives markets.  
TOTAL is one of the world’s largest traders of crude oil and  
petroleum products on the basis of volumes traded. The table  
below presents Trading’s worldwide crude oil sales and supply  
sources and petroleum products sales for each of the past three  
years. Trading of physical volumes of crude oil and petroleum  
products amounted to 5.6 Mb/d in 2016, compared to 5.2 Mb/d in  
In addition, with its acquired expertise, Trading & Shipping  
is able to extend its scope beyond the aforementioned activities.  
Trading & Shipping conducts its activities worldwide through  
various wholly-owned subsidiaries established on strategically  
important oil markets in Europe, Asia and North America.

Trading operates extensively on physical and derivatives markets,  
both organized and over the counter. In connection with its Trading  
activities, TOTAL, like most other oil companies, uses derivative  
energy instruments (futures, forwards, swaps and options) with the  
aim of adjusting its exposure to fluctuations in the price of crude oil  
and petroleum products. These transactions are entered into with a  
wide variety of counterparties.  
2.2.2.2. Shipping  
The transportation of crude oil and petroleum products necessary  
for the activities of the Group is coordinated by Shipping. These  
requirements are fulfilled through balanced use of the spot and  
time-charter markets. The additional transport capacity can also be  
used to transport third-party cargo. Shipping maintains a rigorous  
safety policy, mainly through a strict selection of chartered vessels.  
For additional information concerning derivatives transactions by  
Trading & Shipping, see Note 16 (Financial instruments related to  
commodity contracts) to the Consolidated Financial Statements  
In 2016, Shipping chartered approximately 2,900 voyages (relatively  
stable compared to 2015 and 2014) to transport 131 Mt of crude oil  
and petroleum products, compared to 126 Mt in 2015 and 122 Mt  
in 2014. On December 31, 2016, the mid- and long-term chartered  
fleet amounted to 59 vessels (including 8 LPG vessels), compared  
to 55 in 2015 and 48 in 2014. None of these vessels is single-hulled  
and the average age of the fleet is approximately six years.  
(refer to point 7 of chapter 10).  
All of TOTAL’s Trading activities are subject to strict internal controls  
and trading limits.  
Like a certain number of other oil companies and ship owners, the  
Group uses freight rate derivative contracts to adjust Shipping’s  
exposure to freight rate fluctuations.

operator FilOil in 2016. TOTAL has thus increased its retail  
network by 200 service stations.  
In China, TOTAL was operating more than 230 services stations  
at year-end 2016 through a wholly-owned subsidiary and two  
joint ventures with Sinochem, one of which obtained a  
commercial wholesales license in 2016 that will enable it to  
expand its activities.  
Looking beyond energy services, TOTAL also relies on digital  
innovations to develop new offers for its customers. This is how  
TOTAL enables money transfers and payment by smartphone in  
Africa, or online domestic heating oil orders in France. The Total  
Services mobile application has been deployed in 43 countries, and  
the customer relationship program uses a central tool to send  
personalized offers to over one million customers in 10 countries.  
For its professional customers, M&S has launched Bitume Online in  
France, a platform that offers bitumens at fixed rates, and a portal  
for lubricant distributors deployed in some 20 countries (including in  
the United Arab Emirates), among others.  
Lubricants  
TOTAL’s share of the inland lubricant market reached 3.6% in 2016  
in this region. One of the Group’s largest lubricant production plants  
started up in mid-2015 in Singapore in order to support M&S’s  
ambitions for growth in the region. It has a production capacity  
of 310 kt/year.  
TOTAL lubricant sales in China increased in 2016. To support its  
ambitions for growth in China and in the region, TOTAL opened a  
grease production site in Tianjin (China) in 2016.  
For the longer term, TOTAL also supports the development of  
alternatives to traditional fuels, and M&S intends to expand in these  
segments:  
Professional markets and other specialties  
TOTAL continues to strengthen its presence in the specialties  
markets in the region, in particular in Vietnam, where the Group  
confirmed its position as the number two player(1) in the LPG  
market, and in India.  
 Electro-mobility: in 2016, TOTAL’s European subsidiaries  
continued the developments and demonstrations of the distribution  
of electricity intended for electric vehicles. TOTAL will have in 2017  
approximately 100 service stations equipped with higher power  
charging points in Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg,  
France and Germany. Service stations on major routes in Europe  
are due to be fitted with super-fast charging stations over the  
coming years. In the short term, a new offering will be added to  
Total cards to give professional customers access to the largest  
public charging networks in Europe.  
Americas  
In retail, the Group operates in several Caribbean islands with  
nearly 600 service stations at year-end 2016. In January 2016,

Republic, which operates a network of 130 service stations,  
commercial sales and lubricants activities.  
Gas for transport: TOTAL has approximately 450 stations that  
deliver natural gas vehicles (NGV) in Asia, Africa and Europe, and  
intends to develop several hundred additional stations, mainly in  
Europe, over the coming years.  
In lubricants and other specialty products, TOTAL is pursuing  
in the overall region its strategy of growth, mainly in lubricants,  
aviation fuel and special fluids. To strengthen its special fluids  
business, the Group has built a special fluids production plant in  
Bayport, Texas, which has been operational since early 2016.  
 Hydrogen: with its partners Air Liquide, Daimler, Linde, OMV and  
Shell, TOTAL created in 2015 the H2 Mobility Germany joint  
venture, which aims to deploy some 400 hydrogen stations in  
Germany, with a forecast of more than 250,000 fuel cell vehicles  
being in circulation by 2025. The majority of the hydrogen  
stations also developed through the Clean Energy Partnership in  
Germany (target of 50 stations in 2017, 13 of which are in the  
TOTAL network) will be incorporated into the H2 Mobility  
Germany joint venture.  
2.3.1.4. Products and services developments  
The Group develops technologically advanced products, some of  
which are formulated for use in motor sports before being generally  
released on the market. In 2016, TOTAL continued its technical  
partnerships, in particular with Renault Sport Racing, the PSA  
group (WRC, WTCC and Rallycross) and Aston Martin Racing.  
These partnerships demonstrate TOTAL’s technical excellence in  
the formulation of fuels and lubricants under extreme conditions  
and subject to requirements to reduce fuel consumption. At the end  
of 2016, TOTAL and PSA (Peugeot, Citroën and DS) renewed their  
partnership for five years in the areas of R&D, business relations  
with the three PSA brands and motor sports.  
2.3.2. New Energies  
As part of its ambition to become the responsible energy major,  
the Group is developing its activities in low-carbon and renewable  
energies businesses. Facing the challenge of climate change, TOTAL  
positions itself on an energy mix, with decreasing carbon intensity  
that takes into account the 2°C scenario of the IEA.

Marketing & Services segment  
The Group is active along the entire solar photovoltaic value chain,  
with SunPower and Total Solar, from the production of photovoltaic  
cells to the development of solar farms or installation of solar  
facilities in private households.  
SunPower is pursuing its development in residential and commercial  
markets, in particular in the United States, by increasing its service  
offerings for solar power production, management and financing.  
SunPower is also developing its Smart Energy activity to permit its  
residential and commercial customers to optimize their power  
consumption. Thus in 2016, SunPower launched a pilot project in  
New York State involving electricity production and consumption  
management with a storage offer in association with the local  
electricity provider.  
Over the longer term, it pursues a second axe of development with  
the transformation of biomass through biotechnology, which aims  
to develop new biosourced product solutions for transportation  
and chemicals.  
TOTAL actively follows developments in other renewable energies.  
In this context, the Group owns a farm of four wind turbines (10 MW  
near Dunkirk, France) and a stake in marine energy (9.99% in the  
company Scotrenewables Tidal Power, Scotland).  
The second half of 2016 was marked by a sharp deterioration of  
the global market, in a context of strong overcapacity of photovoltaic  
cells production. SunPower announced an adjustment plan to cope  
with this market deterioration. This plan is essentially based on a  
reduction of the company’s operational costs and on the closure of  
a cells manufacturing unit in the Philippines.  
The acquisition of Saft Groupe S.A. in 2016 is consistent with this  
ambition. The Group plans to pursue its investments in low-carbon  
businesses.  
In this context, TOTAL and SunPower decided to deepen their  
cooperation through several strategic initiatives. In particular, in  
November 2016, TOTAL concluded an agreement with SunPower  
to supply the panels required for retrofitting over the next five years  
5,000 service stations and approximately 100 other sites across  
the world for an installed capacity of 200 MW. In addition, TOTAL  
undertook via Total Solar the acquisition of projects developed  
by SunPower in Japan, South-Africa and France.

.3.2.1. Solar energy  
TOTAL acquired a majority share in SunPower in 2011. In addition,  
the Group develops and holds interests via Total Solar in solar  
farms and is pursuing R&D investments in the photovoltaic field  
through several industrial and academic partnerships.  
The steady reduction in photovoltaic electricity costs opens an  
ever-growing number of markets. However, in some areas,  
achievement of the full potential of this technology requires the  
support of public programs.  
Other solar assets  
The Group holds a 20% stake in the solar power plant Shams 1,  
commissioned in 2013 in Abu Dhabi. With 109 MW of parabolic  
concentrated solar power, Shams 1 is the largest thermal parabolic  
concentrated solar power plant in the Middle East(1). In addition,  
Total Solar co-developed and holds interests in the solar farms built  
by SunPower: Salvador in Chile and Prieska in South-Africa, as well  
as Nanao in Japan, which is under construction.

In the Marketing & Services segment, investments in 2016 mainly  
concerned retail networks in growth regions, logistics and specialty  
products production and storage facilities.  
In the Upstream segment, most of the investments were geared  
toward the development of new hydrocarbon production facilities,  
the maintenance of existing facilities and exploration activities.  
Development expenditures were mainly related to the five projects  
that started up in 2016 (Laggan-Tormore, Vega Pleyade, Incahuasi,  
Angola LNG and Kashagan) and to other major projects under  
construction and expected to start up in 2017 and 2018, including  
Moho North in the Republic of the Congo, Yamal LNG in Russia,  
Ichthys LNG in Australia, Kaombo in Angola and Egina in Nigeria.  
Acquisitions in 2016 totaled $2.0 billion, including $780 million of  
resource acquisitions, a 41% decrease compared to $3.4 billion  
in 2015.  
The Group took advantage of favorable market conditions to  
expand its Upstream portfolio. The Group strengthened its position  
in the Middle East by entering the Al Shaheen field in Qatar, and in  
the US with the acquisition of shale gas assets. Resources  
acquisitions were $780 million in 2016, comprised mainly of the  
additional 75% interest in the Barnett shale gas field in the United  
States. The Group is preparing future growth with the signing of  
major deals in Brazil with Petrobras, in Uganda and in Iran on the  
giant South Pars 11 project.  
In the Refining & Chemicals segment, investments were made  
in facilities maintenance and safety, as well as in projects aimed  
at improving the plants’ competitiveness. In 2016, the Group

compared to 4,248 in 2015 and 4,596 in 2014(1)  
.
TOTAL invested $689 million in 2016 in innovation and R&D for its  
oil and gas activities . The expenses dedicated to these activities are  
expected to increase by 5% on average between 2015 and 2017.  
These issues are incorporated into the project portfolio to develop  
synergies. Different aspects may be looked at independently by  
different business segments, with high levels of interaction between  
R&D, technology and business unit teams.  
(2)  
R&D at TOTAL focuses on six major axes:  
Since 2009, Total Energy Ventures, which is in charge of developing  
small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialized in innovative  
energy technologies and clean technologies for the Group,  
manages a portfolio that has grown regularly. In addition, a loan  
facility was introduced for innovative SMEs that develop  
technologies of interest for the Group.  
developing knowledge, tools and technological expertise to  
discover and profitably produce complex oil and gas resources at  
a reduced cost to help meet the global demand for energy;  
developing, industrializing and improving competitive processes  
for the conversion of oil, gas and biomass resources to adapt to  
changes in resources and markets, improve reliability and safety,  
achieve better energy efficiency, reduce the environmental  
footprint and maintain profitability in the long term;  
developing and industrializing solar, biomass and carbon capture  
and storage technologies to help prepare for future energy needs  
in an economically competitive manner;  
developing practical, innovative and competitive materials and  
products that meet customers’ specific needs, contribute to the  
emergence of new features and systems, enable current  
materials to be replaced by materials delivering higher  
performance to users, and address the challenges of improved  
energy efficiency, lower environmental impact and toxicity, better  
management of their life cycle and waste recovery;  
understanding and measuring the impacts of the Group’s  
operations and products on ecosystems (water, soil, air, biodiversity)  
and recovering waste to improve environmental safety, as part of  
the regulation in place, and reduce their environmental footprint to  
endeavor to achieve sustainability in the Group’s operations; and  
In 2016, a Group R&D Division was set up as part of the Group’s  
new organization, “One Total” (refer to point 1.3 of this chapter).  
This new division is in charge of:  
constructing a consolidated view of all of the Group’s R&D  
activities and putting in place an R&D roadmap taking into  
account the 2°C scenario of the IAE;  
launching and monitoring transversal studies on key subjects for  
2
the Group, such as CO capture, use and storage, health, safety  
and the environment (HSE) and energy efficiency;  
increasing synergies between R&D teams by facilitating the  
sharing of tools, expertise and, when needed, resources,  
selecting and respecting good practices, and capitalizing on  
scientific expertise; and  
ensuring the transfer of technologies towards the Group’s  
industrial and commercial activities.  
4.1. Upstream  
In Exploration & Production, the R&D project portfolio was reviewed  
in 2016 according to the impacts on reducing costs and the  
environmental footprint, and on improving safety and production.  
More than half of the R&D budget is focused on improving  
exploration (geological structures, seismic acquisition and imaging  
technologies), characterization of hydrocarbon reservoirs and  
simulation of field evolution during production. Enhancing oil  
recovery from mature reservoirs remains an active area of research,  
particularly in the Group’s partnerships in the Middle East.  
end in 2016. The Group now has a strong command of the methods  
used to characterize reservoirs and their mechanical properties for this  
type of injection. New R&D projects are being identified in order to  
develop carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS) in the coming years.  
A sustained effort to adapt mature technologies in order to reduce their  
costs has been implemented. In particular, new technologies addressing  
the management of water associated with hydrocarbon production are  
now available for new developments. This subject is part of a larger  
program dedicated to Sustainable Development. The increased use of  
digital technology also forms part of this cost-reduction program.  
R&D activities in deep offshore aiming at greater distances for  
multiphase production transport have been increased further, which  
is fully in line with the goals of Exploration & Production and  
supports major technology-intensive assets such as Libra in Brazil.  
Finally, R&D programs prepare for the medium and long terms,  
whether for researching new exploration concepts, non-  
conventional resources or developing technologies, such as  
robotics, nanotechnologies or high-performance computing  
(notably, the Pangea supercomputer, a decision-support tool for  
exploration and field management).  
Operations on wells, from drilling to closure, account for a  
significant share of Upstream costs; new R&D projects are under  
way to reduce these and further increase operational safety.

bimodality to develop different types of mass consumption  
(
excluding specialty chemicals)  
polymers that have exceptional properties allowing them to replace  
heavier materials and compete with technical polymers. Value-  
added niche polymers are also being developed, whether in the  
form of blends or composites. Efforts to diversify into biosourced  
products are focused mainly on products endorsed by the market:  
biomonomers, biointermediates, and biopolymers. R&D is thus  
focusing on polylactic acid due to the new applications that can be  
envisaged as a result of its specific properties. For plastics  
recycling, R&D is designing technologies that will make it possible  
to recycle polymers under acceptable conditions in terms of end  
product quality, cost and environmental impact.  
The aim of R&D is to support the medium and long-term  
development of Refining & Chemicals. In doing so, it contributes to  
the technological differentiation of this business through the  
development, implementation and promotion of effective R&D  
programs that pave the way for the industrialization of knowledge,  
processes and technologies.  
In line with Refining & Chemicals’ strategy, R&D places special  
emphasis on the following four major challenges: taking advantage  
of different types of feedstock; maximizing asset value; continuing  
to develop innovative products; and developing biosourced  
products. The medium-term strategy of the project portfolio and its  
deployment plan will facilitate Refining & Chemicals’ technological  
differentiation.  
With regard to biofuels, R&D has directed its efforts towards  
gasification and coprocessing to produce liquid fuels from biomass.  
R&D is also particularly mindful of issues related to blends and  
product quality raised by the use of biomolecules.  
To take advantage of different types of feedstock, R&D activities  
related to the processing of more diversified crudes have increased  
significantly through a clearer insight into the effect that feedstocks  
have on equipment and processes at the molecular level. R&D is  
launching ambitious new programs to develop various technologies  
for producing liquid fuels, monomers and intermediates from gas.  
The efficient use of resources is a major challenge for Sustainable  
Development. As a result, R&D is pioneering technologies enabling  
more efficient use of biosourced molecules to produce higher  
added-value chemical compounds, whether through biotechnologies  
or thermochemical processes.  
R&D is developing expertise and technologies with a view to  
maximizing asset value. Its efforts mainly involve programs focusing  
on the flexibility and availability of facilities. Advanced modeling of  
feedstocks and processes helps the units overcome processing-  
related constraints and operate while taking these constraints into  
account in real time. Research conducted on catalysts is helping to  
increase their resistance, improve catalytic stability and extend the  
cycle time at a lower cost. Programs are being set up to maximize  
the value of heavy residues. The new opportunities presented by  
digital technology are being examined to pave the way for the  
4.2.2. Specialty chemicals  
R&D is strategically important for specialty chemical products.  
It is closely linked to the needs of the subsidiaries and industrial  
customers.  
For Hutchinson, R&D is an important factor in innovation and  
differentiation. The company is present along the entire value chain,

solutions, mechatronics, connected objects).  
plant of the future”, which will provide an even safer working  
With a corporate research and innovation center, more than  
environment and increased productivity, while consuming less  
energy and producing less waste.  
25 technical centers and a number of university partnerships  
worldwide, Hutchinson is equipped to rise to the challenge of  
contributing to the safer, more comfortable, and more responsible  
mobility of the future.  
In line with the Group’s low-carbon strategy, R&D is pioneering  
solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through carbon  
capture and recovery by conversion. In addition, out of concern for  
the environmental footprint of Refining & Chemicals’ activities, R&D is  
developing new technologies to improve the energy efficiency of  
facilities and reduce the impact of the activities on water, air, soil, etc.  
Weight reduction, increased energy efficiency and improved  
diagnostic and control functionality are common preoccupations  
across all of Hutchinson’s markets (e.g., automotive, aerospace,  
defense, railways). Hutchinson designs innovative solutions to put  
its customers ahead of the game, and transposes those solutions  
between markets, adopting a cross-fertilization approach.  
The offer of innovative products is a key aspect of research on

.3.1. Marketing & Services  
A new “Chemicals and biocomponent processes” department  
shared by the Marketing & Services and Refining & Chemicals  
segments opened in April 2016 on the Solaize site, with the aim of  
using a predictive approach to design components derived from  
renewable sources. This approach uses cheminformatics and  
digital tools to simulate, model and predict how the components  
will perform, in order to help chemists and formulators better  
identify ideal chemical structures.  
In 2016, the R&D activities of Marketing & Services continued to roll  
out its new roadmap in line with its ambitions.  
The roadmap features two focal points: reducing the environmental  
footprint of products, particularly CO emissions, and increasing

energy efficiency by improving the durability of end users’  
equipment. These are broken down into a number of areas: energy  
savings for customers; competitive advantage and new solutions;  
anticipation of changes in legislation; and incorporation of  
biosourced molecules.  
The “Fuel Economy” range of lubricants continues to expand with  
many new products designed to comply with the specifications of

manufacturers targeted by the Total Lubricants business line in all  
fields of application (automotive, marine and manufacturing). The  
key work is focused on the design and incorporation of  
breakthrough components in formulations. At the same time, more  
fundamental work has been started to anticipate the issues that  
manufacturers will face as a result of changes in engine technology  
and legislation. New contracts have been won with strategic  
manufacturers. In addition, the new marine lubricant for two-stroke  
engines that run on fuels with sulfur contents of 0 to 3.5% has been  
introduced onto the market. The International Maritime  
4.3.2. New Energies  
New Energies’ R&D efforts are focused, on the one hand, on the  
solar value chain from silicon to photovoltaic electricity  
management systems, and, on the other hand, on the development  
of biotechnological methods of converting biomass into products of  
interest to the Group’s markets.  
In the field of solar energy, R&D is striving to improve SunPower’s(1)  
methods of producing cells and modules in order to drive down  
costs while enhancing efficiency and reliability, with the aim of  
maintaining the company’s global technological leadership and  
tailoring its offering to the different application markets, from solar  
farms to the residential sector. It is also preparing future generation  
photovoltaic cells within the framework of several strategic  
partnerships between TOTAL and renowned academic research  
institutes. In particular, TOTAL is the founding partner of the Ile-de-  
France Photovoltaic Institute, a research institute on the Paris-  
Saclay campus that has reached critical mass and offers a very  
high-quality technical platform and scientific support structure with  
the ambitious aim of identifying breakthrough technologies to  
produce highly efficient, low-cost panels.  
Organization’s recent decision to limit the sulfur content of fuels to  
0.5% by 2020 has led to the redefinition of marine lubricant  
development programs.  
Launched in 2015, the project to synthesize new molecules for  
future generations of the “Total Excellium” fuel range is based on  
the areas of chemicals, methods & measurements and  
benchmarking. Alongside this, work to develop new products  
tailored to specific local requirements has been finalized, mainly for  
the African market.  
In the field of refinery additives, research continued into  
understanding and developing new additives to improve the  
performance of distillates in cold temperatures.  
Downstream in the solar value chain, R&D is monitoring the  
development of low-cost stationary storage technologies. At the  
same time, Saft Groupe’s R&D teams are focusing on improving  
lithium-ion technologies, reducing costs and environmental impact,  
and developing management systems. This last activity provides a  
link to the R&D activities of New Energies, which is preparing  
solutions for supplying solar power and associated services to  
residential markets by developing software tools and algorithms for  
the intelligent management of domestic electricity production and  
consumption, and also by integrating and testing systems  
combining photovoltaics, storage, control of demand as well as  
pilots for assessing and improving systems and algorithms in  
contact with customers.  
With respect to bitumen, in order to meet the challenges of  
competitiveness, sustainable logistics, Sustainable Development  
and geographic expansion in the bitumen sector, researchers  
mainly concentrated on the prospect of transporting bitumen in  
solid form, establishing a program to reduce binder aging and  
developing Styrelf formulas for the international market.  
The new “Bio Life” range of special fluids derived from renewable  
sources was put on the market. It is protected by several patent  
applications covering the production methods and applications of  
the fluids.  
In Formula 1 racing, important work on understanding combustion  
and lubrication phenomena, in conjunction with closer technical ties  
with manufacturers, once again brought very significant  
improvements in engine performance in 2016. As a result of this  
collaboration, new skills have been acquired in-house that can be  
used in other areas (e.g., production vehicles, electric engines).  
With regard to biotechnologies, the Group is developing methods  
for converting sugars into biofuels and molecules of interest for  
chemicals, as well as processes for the deconstruction of  
lignocellulose into sugars. To support its ambitions, the Group has  
set up laboratories, including one research center specializing in  
fermentation and another specializing in predictive approaches, a  
cutting-edge technology for anticipating the properties of  
components and providing a better response to future needs, with  
unprecedented performance levels. To this end, TOTAL’s biotech  
research team heads up a network of partners including academic  
laboratories and start-ups in the United States and Europe.  
The Group mainly works with Amyris(2), a company specializing  
in biotechnologies.  
The Asia-Pacific Technical Center based in Mumbai, India,  
increased its activities and skills, mainly in lubricants (particularly for  
textiles and two-wheeled vehicles), special fluids (including drilling  
fluids) and fuel additives.  
The enlisting of French and international skills has increased in  
recent years, with a growing number of ties to academia,  
researchers seconded to universities in France, Italy, Switzerland  
and the United States, and international researchers recruited. R&D  
has also increased its activities relating to evaluating and selecting  
external technologies and partners with shared interests (SMEs,  
start-ups). These different approaches enhance the work necessary  
for the guided design and development of breakthrough products  
included in Marketing & Services’ objectives.

Summary of results and financial position  
1. Summary of results and financial position  
1.1. Overview of the 2016 fiscal year for TOTAL  
After falling from 100 $/b in 2014 to 52 $/b on average in 2015,  
Brent prices were highly volatile in 2016, fluctuating between 27 $/b  
and 58 $/b, with an average of 44 $/b for the year. In this difficult  
environment, the Group demonstrated its resilience by generating  
adjusted net income of $8.3 billion and had the highest profitability  
among the majors due to the strength of its integrated model and  
commitment of its teams to reduce the breakeven.  
among the majors. Results from the Refining & Chemicals segment  
were underpinned by the strong performance of its Asia and Middle  
East integrated platforms, while Marketing & Services results were  
driven by growth in retail and lubricants.  
Financial discipline was successfully maintained across all business  
segments both for investments ($18.3 billion including resource  
acquisitions) and operating costs, with savings of $2.8 billion in  
2016, exceeding the objective of $2.4 billion. Production costs were  
reduced to 5.9 $/boe in 2016, compared to 9.9 $/boe in 2014.  
The Group’s resilience was supported by outstanding production  
growth over the past two years (14.3%, including 4.5% in 2016).  
In the Upstream, the Group strengthened its position in the Middle  
East by entering the Al Shaheen field in Qatar, and in the United  
States with the acquisition of shale gas assets. The Group is  
preparing future growth with the signing of major deals in Brazil  
with Petrobras, in Uganda and in Iran on the giant South Pars 11  
project. The Group renewed its reserves with a replacement rate  
of 136% at constant prices and delivered promising exploration  
results, with two major discoveries in the United States (North  
Platte) and Nigeria (Owowo).  
The $10 billion asset sale program is around 80% complete following  
the closing of the Atotech sale, and this contributed to the Group’s  
financial strength with a net-debt-to-equity ratio at 27%, lower than  
it was in 2014.  
In this context, the Board of Directors proposes to increase the dividend,  
despite the volatility of hydrocarbon prices, to 2.45 /share,  
corresponding to a fourth quarter dividend of 0.62 /share,  
a 1.6% increase compared to the previous three quarterly dividends.  
This demonstrates the Board’s confidence in the strength of the  
Group’s results and balance sheet as well as its prospects for cash  
flow growth.  
Despite lower refining margins, the Downstream(1) once again  
achieved its objectives and thereby demonstrated that its results  
are sustainable, with operating cash flow before working capital  
changes of $7 billion(2) and ROACE(3) above 30%, the highest  
(
1) Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services segments, excluding New Energies.  
(2) Operating cash flow before working capital changes, previously referred to as adjusted cash flow from operations, is defined as cash flow from operating activities before changes in working  
capital at replacement cost. Replacement cost is explained in Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements (refer to point 7 of chapter 10).

1.2.2. Operating income from business segments  
Consolidated sales in 2016 were $149,743 million compared  
to $165,357 million in 2015, a decrease of 9%. The decrease in  
hydrocarbon prices and refining margins were partially offset by  
production growth and strong results for petrochemicals.  
The average Brent price was 44 $/b in 2016, a 17% decrease over  
one year. The Group’s European Refining Margin Indicator (“ERMI”)  
was 34 $/t in 2016, a 30% decrease compared to the high levels in  
2015, in the context of high petroleum product stocks. The environment  
for petrochemicals remained favorable. The euro remained stable  
compared to the U.S. dollar, at 1.11 $/ on average in 2016.

Summary of results and financial position  
Given this less favorable environment than in 2015, adjusted net  
operating income from the business segments was $9,420 million  
in 2016, a decrease of 17% over one year.  
The number of fully-diluted shares was 2,436 million on December 31,  
2016, compared to 2,336 million on December 31, 2015.

.2.4. Investments – divestments  
The effective tax rate(1) for the business segments was 25.8%  
in 2016 compared to 33.9% in 2015, due to the relative weight  
and lower tax rates in the Upstream in a lower hydrocarbon price  
environment.  
Asset sales were $1,864 million in 2016, mainly comprised of the  
sale of a 15% interest in the Gina Krog field in Norway, the FUKA gas  
pipeline network in the North Sea and the retail network in Turkey.  
Acquisitions, including resource acquisitions were $2,033 million in  
1.2.3. Net income (Group share)  
2016, mainly comprised of the additional 75% interest in the Barnett  
Adjusted net income was $8,287 million in 2016 compared  
to $10,518 million in 2015, a decrease of 21%. Adjusted net income  
excludes the after-tax inventory effect, special items and the effect  
of changes in fair value.  
shale gas field in the United States, and the acquisitions of Saft  
Groupe, Lampiris and a retail network in the Dominican Republic.  
Resource acquisitions were $780 million in 2016, comprised mainly  
of the additional 75% interest in the Barnett shale gas field in the  
United States. These acquisitions, at a cost of less than one dollar  
per barrel, enabled the Group to achieve its objective of adding  
one billion barrels of resources in 2016. Organic investments and  
resource acquisitions were $18,264 million in 2016.  
Adjustment items had a negative impact on net income of $2,091 million  
in 2016, mainly due to the inventory effect and impairments  
on Gladstone LNG in Australia, Angola LNG, and Laggan-Tormore  
in the United Kingdom, reflecting the decrease in gas price  
assumptions for the coming years.

.2.5. Profitability  
Given these items, net income (Group share) was $6,196 million  
in 2016 compared to $5,087 million in 2015, a 22% increase.  
In 2016, the ROACE(2) was 7.5% and the ROE(3) was 8.7%.  
Adjusted fully-diluted earnings per share, based on 2,390 million  
fully-diluted weighted-average shares, was $3.38 in 2016  
compared to $4.51 in 2015.

The Board of Directors met on February 8, 2017 and decided to  
propose to the Combined Shareholders’ Meeting, which will be held  
on May 26, 2017, an annual dividend of 2.45 /share for 2016, an

The Group’s net cash flow was -$1,236 million in 2016 compared  
to -$414 million in 2015. This change is essentially due to the decrease  
in cash flow from operations as a result of lower hydrocarbon prices  
and refining margins, partially offset by the 15% decrease in net  
investments. The Group confirms its financial strength with a  
net-debt-to-equity ratio of 27% at end 2016, a decrease compared

2.3. Borrowing requirements and funding structure  
The Group’s policy consists of incurring long-term debt at a floating  
rate or at a fixed rate depending on the interest rates at the time of  
issue. Debt is incurred in dollars or euros depending on the Group’s  
general corporate needs. Long-term interest rate and currency swaps  
may be used to hedge bonds at their issuance in order to create  
a variable or fixed rate synthetic debt. In order to partially modify  
the interest rate structure of long-term debt, TOTAL may also enter  
into long-term interest rate swaps.  
In accordance with IAS 32 provisions “Financial instruments -  
presentation”, given the nature of these notes, they have been  
recognized in the accounts as equity.  
Furthermore, on November 25, 2015, TOTAL S.A. issued a $1.2 billion  
bond combining cash-settled convertible bonds indexed to TOTAL’s  
share performance and the purchase of stock options to hedge the  
risk of additional costs related to this indexation. This combination  
creates a non-dilutive synthetic instrument equivalent to a standard  
bond. At maturity, all transactions are made in cash and limited  
to the nominal amount.  
The non-current financial debt is generally raised by the corporate  
treasury entities either directly in dollars or euros or in other currencies  
which are then exchanged for dollars or euros through swap issues  
to appropriately match general corporate needs.  
The Group has established standards for market transactions under  
which bank counterparties must be approved in advance, based on  
an assessment of the counterparty’s financial soundness (multi-criteria  
analysis including a review of the market capitalization and of the Credit  
Default Swap (CDS), its ratings with Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s,  
which must be of high quality, and its overall financial condition).  
As of December 31, 2016, the Group’s long-term debt, after taking  
into account the effect of currency and interest rate swaps, was 95%  
in dollars and 72% at floating rates. In 2015, these ratios were 93%  
and 82% respectively.  
In addition to its bond issuance programs, in 2015 and 2016  
TOTAL S.A. issued perpetual subordinated notes in several tranches:  
An overall authorized credit limit is set for each bank and is allocated  
among the subsidiaries and the Group’s central treasury entities  
according to their needs.  
February 19, 2015, 5 billion in two tranches;  
May 11, 2016, 1.75 billion in one tranche; and  
September 29, 2016, 2.5 billion in two tranches.  
To reduce the market values risk on its commitments, in particular  
for swaps set as part of bonds issuance, the Group also entered  
into margin call contracts with its significant counterparties.  
2.4. External financing available  
As of December 31, 2016, the aggregate amount of the major  
confirmed credit facilities granted by international banks to the  
Group’s companies (including TOTAL S.A.) was $11,164 million  
The agreements for the lines of credit granted to TOTAL S.A. do not  
contain conditions related to the Company’s financial ratios, to its  
financial ratings from specialized agencies, or to the occurrence of  
events that could have a material adverse effect on its financial position.  
(compared to $11,225 million on December 31, 2015), of  
which $10,724 million were unused (compared to $11,225 million  
unused on December 31, 2015).  
Credit facilities granted to Group companies other than TOTAL S.A.  
are not intended to finance the Group’s general needs; they are  
intended to finance either the general needs of the borrowing  
affiliate or a specific project.  
TOTAL S.A. has confirmed lines of credit granted by international  
banks, which are calculated to allow it to manage its short-term  
liquidity needs as required. As of December 31, 2016, these credit  
facilities amounted to $10,076 million (compared to $10,675 million  
on December 31, 2015), of which $10,076 million were unused  
As of December 31, 2016, no restrictions applied to the use  
of the Group companies’ capital (including TOTAL S.A.) that could  
significantly impact the Group’s activities, directly or indirectly.  
(compared to $10,675 million unused on December 31, 2015).  
2.5. Anticipated sources of financing  
Investments, working capital and dividend payments are financed  
essentially by cash flow from operations, asset disposals and,  
if necessary, by net borrowings.  
For the coming years and based on the current financing conditions,  
the Company intends to maintain this method of financing the Group’s  
investments and activities.

Trends and outlook. Significant changes  
3. Trends and outlook  
3.1. Outlook  
Brent increased following the announced production cuts agreed  
by OPEC and non-OPEC countries, including Russia. However,  
inventory levels are high and prices are likely to remain volatile.  
In this context, the Group is continuing to cut costs with the objective  
of achieving $3.5 billion of cost savings in 2017 and bringing  
production costs down to 5.5 $/boe for the year. Investments  
are moving into the sustainable range needed to deliver profitable  
future growth and are expected to be between $16 and $17 billion  
in 2017 including resource acquisitions.  
In 2017, the Downstream is expected to continue generating stable  
operating cash flow before working capital changes of around $7 billion  
thanks to its diverse portfolio of activities. Refining & Chemicals’  
performance has been strengthened by the restructuring and the  
segment will continue to benefit from the quality of its integrated  
platforms, notably in Antwerp, in the United States, in Asia and in  
the Middle East. The final investment decision to launch the Port Arthur  
side-cracker is expected to be made in 2017. The Marketing & Services  
segment is pursuing its cash generation growth strategy by leveraging  
its strong position in high-potential retail and lubricant markets.  
In the Upstream, production is set to grow by more than 4% in 2017,  
supporting the objective of increasing production on average by 5%  
per year from 2014 to 2020. As a result of this growth, the sensitivity  
of the portfolio to Brent increases to $2.5 billion for a 10 $/b change  
in Brent in 2017. The Group plans to take advantage of the favorable  
cost environment by launching around 10 projects over the next  
In 2017, the Group expects its breakeven will continue to fall,  
reaching less than 40 $/b pre-dividend. Cash flow from operations  
is expected to cover investments and the cash portion of the  
dividend at 50 $/b. TOTAL confirms its medium-term objective  
to achieve a net-debt-to-equity ratio of 20%.  
18 months and adding attractive resources to the portfolio.  
The Group is committed to maintaining attractive returns for its  
shareholders and will eliminate the discount on the scrip dividend  
with Brent at 60 $/b.  
3.2. Risks and uncertainties  
Due to the nature of its business, the Group’s activities remain  
subject to the usual market risks (sensitivity to the environmental  
parameters of the oil and financial markets), industrial and environmental  
risks related to its operations, and to political or geopolitical risks  
stemming from the global presence of most of its activities.  
Detailed information is given in the Risk Factors section (point 1 of  
chapter 4) of this Registration Document. For more information,  
also refer to the Chairman’s report in point 4 of chapter 4.  
4. Significant changes  
Except for the events mentioned above in the Management Report  
chapter 3), in the Business overview (chapter 2), and in the description  
of legal and arbitration procedures (point 2 of chapter 4), no significant  
changes to the Group’s financial or commercial situation have occurred  
since December 31, 2016, the end of the last fiscal year for which  
audited financial statements have been published by the Company.

been considered by the Group as being likely to, have a material  
adverse impact on the Group, its business, financial condition,  
including its operating income and cash flow, reputation or outlook.  
The Group employs a continuous process of identifying and  
analyzing risks in order to determine those that could prevent it  
from achieving its objectives. This chapter presents the significant  
risks to which the Group believes it is exposed as of the date of this  
Registration Document. However, as of such date, the Group may  
The main internal control and risk management procedures, which  
are part of the report of the Chairman of the Board of Directors  
prepared pursuant to Article L. 225-37 of the French Commercial  
Code, are described in point 4 of this chapter.  
1.1. Risks related to market environment and other financial risks  
The financial performance of TOTAL is sensitive to a number of  
market environmentrelated factors, the most significant being  
hydrocarbon prices, refining margins and exchange rates.  
The impact of changes in crude oil and gas prices on downstream  
operations depends upon the speed at which the prices of finished  
products adjust to reflect these changes. The Group estimates that  
a decrease in its European Refining Margin Indicator (“ERMI”)  
of $10 per ton would decrease annual adjusted net operating  
income by approximately $0.5 billion and cash flow from operations  
by approximately $0.6 billion. Conversely, an increase in its ERMI  
of $10 per ton would increase annual adjusted net operating  
income by approximately $0.5 billion and cash flow from operations  
by approximately $0.6 billion.  
Generally, a decline in hydrocarbon prices has a negative effect on  
the Group’s results due to a decrease in revenues from oil and gas  
production. Conversely, a rise in hydrocarbon prices increases the  
Group’s results.  
In 2016, crude oil prices reached their lowest point in January and  
then strengthened progressively, notably due to the OPEC/non-  
OPEC agreement concluded in November 2016, while remaining  
low. The market remains highly volatile.  
All of the Group’s activities are, for various reasons and to varying  
degrees, sensitive to fluctuations in the dollar/euro exchange rate.  
The Group estimates that a decrease of $0.10 per euro  
(strengthening of the dollar versus the euro) would increase  
adjusted net operating income by approximately $0.1 billion and  
have a limited impact on cash flow from operations. Conversely, an  
increase of $0.10 per euro (weakening of the dollar versus the euro)  
would decrease adjusted net operating income by approximately  
$0.1 billion and have a limited impact on cash flow from operations.  
For the year 2017, according to the scenarios retained below, the  
Group estimates that an increase of $10 per barrel in the price of  
Brent crude would increase annual adjusted net operating income(  
by approximately $2 billion and cash flow from operations by  
approximately $2.5 billion. Conversely, a decrease of $10 per barrel  
in the price of Brent crude would decrease annual adjusted net  
operating income by approximately $2 billion and cash flow from  
operations by approximately $2.5 billion.

primarily attributable to the Refining & Chemicals segment.  
In addition to the adverse effect on the Group’s revenues,  
margins and profitability, a prolonged period of low oil and  
natural gas prices could lead the Group to review its projects  
and the evaluation of its assets and oil and natural gas reserves.  
– the ability of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting  
Countries (OPEC) and other producing nations to influence global  
production levels and prices;  
– prices of unconventional energies as well as evolving approaches  
for developing oil sands and shale oil, which may affect the  
Group’s realized prices, notably under its long-term gas sales  
contracts and asset valuations, particularly in North America;  
– cost and availability of new technology;  
Prices for oil and natural gas may fluctuate widely due to many  
factors over which TOTAL has no control. These factors include:  
variations in global and regional supply of and demand for energy;  
global and regional economic and political developments in  
natural resource-producing regions, particularly in the Middle  
East, Africa and South America, as well as in Russia;  
– regulations and governmental actions;

partially offset by the results of the Refining & Chemicals segment.  
During 2016, the Group’s refining margins, while remaining at a  
good level, fluctuated throughout the year. In 2017, there can be no  
assurance that the Group’s refining margins will remain at such level.  
The activities of Trading & Shipping (oil, gas and power trading and  
shipping activities) are particularly sensitive to market risk and more  
specifically to price risk as a consequence of the volatility of oil and  
gas prices, to liquidity risk (inability to buy or sell cargoes at market  
prices) and to counterparty risk (when a counterparty does not fulfill  
its contractual obligations). The Group uses various energy  
derivative instruments and freight-rates instruments to adjust its  
exposure to price fluctuations of crude oil, petroleum products,  
natural gas, power and freight-rates. Although TOTAL believes it  
has established appropriate risk management procedures, large  
market fluctuations may adversely affect the Group’s activities and  
financial condition, including its operating income and cash flow.  
Prolonged periods of low oil and natural gas prices may reduce the  
economic viability of projects in production or in development, and  
reduce the Group’s liquidity, thereby decreasing its ability to finance  
capital expenditures and/or causing it to cancel or postpone  
investment projects.  
If TOTAL were unable to finance its investment projects, the  
Group’s opportunities for future revenue and profitability growth  
would be reduced, which could materially impact the Group’s  
financial condition, including its operating income and cash flow.  
Prolonged periods of low oil and natural gas prices may reduce the  
Group’s reported reserves and cause the Group to revise the price  
assumptions upon which asset impairment tests are based that  
could have a significant adverse effect on the Group’s results in the  
period in which it occurs. For additional information on impairments  
recognized on the Group’s assets, refer to Note 3 to the  
For more detailed information on the impact of the lower oil and gas  
prices on the Group’s 2016 results, financial condition (including  
impairments, significant reductions to capital expenditures and  
operating costs, and divestments completed under the Group’s  
asset sale program) and outlook, refer to chapter 3.  
Consolidated Financial Statements (point 7 of chapter 10).  
TOTAL is exposed to other financial risks related to its  
financing and cash management activities.  
Conversely, in a high oil and gas price environment, the Group can  
experience significant increases in cost and government take, and,  
under some production-sharing contracts, the Group’s production  
rights could be reduced. Higher prices can also reduce demand for  
the Group’s products.  
The Group is exposed to changes in interest rates and foreign  
exchange rates. Even though the Group generally seeks to  
minimize the currency exposure of each entity to its functional  
currency (primarily the dollar, the euro, the pound sterling and the  
Norwegian krone), the Group’s financial condition, including its  
operating income and cash flow, could be impacted by a significant  
change in the value of these currencies. In addition, as TOTAL  
mostly turns to financial markets for its financing, its financial  
condition and operations could be materially impacted if access to  
those markets were to become more difficult. For further  
information on financial risks, refer to Notes 15 and 16 to the  
Consolidated Financial Statements (point 7 of chapter 10).  
The Group’s earnings from its Refining & Chemicals and  
Marketing & Services segments are primarily dependent upon the  
supply and demand for petroleum products and the associated  
margins on sales of these products, with the impact of changes in  
oil and gas prices on earnings on these segments being dependent  
upon the speed at which the prices of petroleum products adjust to  
reflect movements in oil and gas prices. In 2016, the negative  
effects of lower oil and gas prices on the Group’s results were

its operations.  
operations, which can cause blow outs, explosions, fires or other  
damage, in particular to the environment, and lead to a disruption  
of the Group’s operations or reduce its production. In addition to  
the risks of explosions and fires, the activities of the  
Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services business segments  
entail risks related to the overall life cycle of the products  
manufactured, as well as the materials used. With regard to  
transportation, the likelihood of an operational accident depends  
not only on the hazardous nature of the products transported, but  
also on the volumes involved and the sensitivity of the regions  
through which they are transported (quality of infrastructure,  
population density, environmental considerations).  
The Group’s activities involve a wide range of operational risks,  
such as explosions, fires, accidents, equipment failures, leakage of  
toxic products, emissions or discharges into the air, water or soil,  
that can potentially cause death or injury, or impact natural  
resources and ecosystems.  
The industrial event that could have the most significant impact is a  
major industrial accident, e.g., blow out, explosion, fire, leakage of  
highly toxic products or massive leakage, resulting in death or injury  
and/or accidental pollution on a large-scale or at an environmentally  
sensitive site.  
TOTAL’s workforce and the public are exposed to risks inherent to  
the Group’s operations, which could lead to legal proceedings  
against the Group’s entities and legal representatives, notably in  
cases of death, injury and property and environmental damage.  
Such proceedings could also damage the Group’s reputation. In  
addition, like most industrial groups, TOTAL is affected by reports of  
occupational illnesses, particularly those caused by past exposure  
of Group employees to asbestos.  
Acts of terrorism or malicious acts against the Group’s employees,  
plants, sites, pipelines and transportation or computer systems  
could also disrupt the Group’s business activities and could cause  
harm or damage to people, property and the environment.  
Certain activities of the Group face specific additional risks. TOTAL’s  
Upstream segment is exposed to risks related to the physical  
characteristics of oil and gas fields, particularly during drilling

Risk Factors  
To manage the operational risks to which it is exposed, the Group  
has adopted a preventive and remedial approach by putting in  
place centralized HSE (healty, safety and environment) and security  
management systems that seek to take all necessary measures to  
reduce the related risks (refer to point 4.3.1 of this chapter). In  
addition, the Group maintains worldwide third-party liability  
insurance coverage for all its subsidiaries. TOTAL also has  
insurance to protect against the risk of damage to Group property  
and/or business interruption at its main refining and petrochemical  
sites. TOTAL’s insurance and risk management policies are  
described in point 3 of this chapter. However, the Group is not  
insured against all potential risks. In certain cases, such as a major  
environmental disaster, TOTAL’s liability may exceed the maximum  
coverage provided by its third-party liability insurance. The Group  
cannot guarantee that it will not suffer any uninsured loss and there  
can be no guarantee, particularly in the event of a major environmental  
disaster or industrial accident, that such loss would not have a  
material adverse effect on the Group’s financial condition, including  
its operating income and cash flow, and its reputation.  
The introduction of new laws and regulations could compel the  
Group to curtail, modify or cease certain operations or implement  
temporary shutdowns of facilities, which could diminish its productivity  
and have a material adverse impact on its financial condition.  
Moreover, most of the Group’s activities will eventually, at site  
closure, require decommissioning followed by environmental  
remediation after operations are discontinued, in compliance with  
applicable regulations. Costs related to such activities may  
materially exceed the Group’s provisions and adversely impact its  
operating results. With regard to the permanent shutdown of an  
activity, the Group’s environmental contingencies and asset  
retirement obligations are addressed in the “Asset retirement  
obligations” and “Provisions for environmental contingencies”  
sections of the Group’s consolidated balance sheet (refer to Note  
1
1
2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, point 7 of chapter  
0). Future expenditures related to asset retirement obligations are  
accounted for in accordance with the accounting principles  
described in the same Note.  
Laws and regulations related to climate change may adversely  
affect the Group’s business and financial condition.  
Crisis management systems are necessary to effectively  
respond to emergencies, avoid potential disruptions to  
TOTAL’s business and operations and minimize impacts on  
third parties or the environment.  
Growing public concern over greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions  
and climate change, which notably led to the signature of the Paris  
Agreement on December 12, 2015 as part of the United Nations  
Climate Change Conference (COP 21), is likely to continue to lead  
to further regulation in these areas. These additional regulatory  
requirements could lead the Group to curtail, change or cease  
certain of its operations, and submit the Group’s facilities to  
additional compliance obligations, which could adversely affect the  
Group’s businesses and financial condition, including its operating  
income and cash flow.  
TOTAL has crisis management plans in place to deal with emergencies  
(refer to point 4 of this chapter). However, these plans cannot exclude  
the risk that the Group’s business and operations may be severely  
disrupted in a crisis situation or ensure the absence of impacts on  
third parties or the environment. TOTAL has also implemented  
business continuity plans to continue or resume operations  
following a shutdown or incident. An inability for the Group to  
resume its activities in a timely manner could prolong the impact of  
any disruption and thus could have a material adverse effect on its  
financial condition, including its operating income and cash flow.  
Regulations designed to gradually limit fossil fuel use may,  
depending on the GHG emission limits and time horizons set,  
negatively and significantly affect the development of projects, as  
well as the economic value of certain of the Group’s assets. Internal  
TOTAL is subject to increasingly stringent environmental,  
health and safety laws and regulations in numerous countries  
and may incur material related compliance costs.  
studies conducted by TOTAL have shown that a long term CO

price of $40/t(1) applied worldwide would have an impact of around  
5% on the discounted present value of the Group’s assets  
The Group’s activities are subject to numerous laws and regulations  
pertaining to the environment, health and safety. In most countries  
where the Group operates, particularly in Europe and the United  
States, sites and products are subject to increasingly strict laws  
governing the protection of the environment (e.g., water, air, soil,  
noise, protection of nature, waste management, impact assessments),  
health (e.g., occupational safety, chemical product risk), and the  
safety of personnel and residents.

(upstream and downstream) . In response to these possible  
developments, natural gas, which is the fossil energy that emits the  
least amount of GHG, represented nearly 48% of TOTAL’s  
production in 2016, compared to approximately 35% in 2005, and  
the Group’s objective is to grow this percentage over the long term  
with the expected growth of gas markets. In addition, the Group  
ceased its coal production activities and is developing its activities  
in the realms of solar energy production and energy from biomass  
Product quality and consumer protection are also subject to  
increasingly strict regulations. The Group’s entities ensure that their  
products meet applicable specifications and abide by all applicable  
consumer protection laws. Failure to do so could lead to personal  
injury, property damage, environmental harm and loss of customers,  
which could negatively impact the Group’s financial condition,  
including its operating income and cash flow, and its reputation.  
(renewable energies).  
In Europe, the regulations concerning the market for CO  
2
emission  
allowances, the EU Emissions Trading System (EU-ETS), entered a  
third phase on January 1, 2013. This phase marks the end of the  
overall free allocation of emission allowances: certain emissions,  
such as those related to electricity production, no longer benefit  
from free allowances, while for others free allowances have been  
significantly reduced. Free allocations are now established based  
on the emission level of the top-performing plants (i.e., the least  
GHG-emitting) within the same sector (“top 10 benchmark”).  
Lower-performing plants must purchase, at market price, the  
TOTAL incurs, and will continue to incur, substantial expenditures to  
comply with increasingly complex laws and regulations aimed at  
protecting health, safety and the environment. Such expenditures  
could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial condition.

necessary allowances to cover their emissions over these free  
allocations. The plants also need to indirectly bear the cost of  
allowances for all electricity consumed (including electricity  
generated internally at the facilities).  
The physical effects of climate change may adversely affect  
the Group’s business.  
TOTAL’s businesses operate in varied locales where the potential  
physical impacts of climate change, including changes in weather  
patterns, are highly uncertain and may adversely impact the results  
of the Group’s operations.  
The 2014 update to the EU-ETS list of sectors exposed to carbon  
leakage confirmed that refining activities in Europe are an exposed  
sector and should continue to benefit from free allocations partially  
covering its deficits. Based on available information, the Group has  
estimated that approximately 25% of its emissions subject to the  
EU-ETS will not be covered by free allowances during the period  
Climate change potentially has multiple effects that could harm the  
Group’s operations. The increasing scarcity of water resources may  
negatively affect the Group’s operations in some regions of the  
world, high sea levels may harm certain coastal activities, and the  
multiplication of extreme weather events may damage offshore and  
onshore facilities. These climate risk factors are continually  
2013-2020 and at least 30% during the period 2021-2030. The  
financial risk related to the foreseeable purchase of CO emission

allowances on the market is expected to rise due to the effects of  
the ongoing reform of the EU-ETS. At year-end 2016, the price

1.2 of this chapter will not have a material adverse impact on its  
business, financial condition, including its operating income and

information security systems could adversely affect the  
Group’s operations.

potentially having a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial  
condition, including its operating income and cash flow.  
The Group’s activities depend heavily on the reliability and security  
of its information technology (IT) systems. If the integrity of its IT  
systems were compromised due to, for example, technical failure,  
1.4. Risks related to the development of major projects and reserves  
The Group’s production growth and profitability depend on the  
delivery of its major development projects.  
Poor delivery of any major project that underpins production or  
production growth could adversely affect the Group’s financial  
condition, including its operating income and cash flow.  
Growth of production and profitability of the Group rely heavily on  
the successful execution of its major development projects that are  
increasingly complex and capital-intensive. These major projects  
may face a number of difficulties, including, in particular, those  
related to:  
The Group’s long-term profitability depends on cost-effective  
discovery, acquisition and development of economically viable  
new reserves; if the Group is unsuccessful, its financial  
condition, including its operating income and cash flow, would

economic or political risks, including threats specific to a certain  
country or region, such as terrorism, social unrest or other  
conflicts (refer to point 1.6 of this chapter);

suppliers, customers and other parties;  
obtaining project financing;  
controlling capital and operating costs;  
earning an adequate return in a low oil and/or gas price  
environment;  
A large portion of the Group’s revenues and operating results are  
derived from the sale of oil and gas that the Group extracts from  
underground reserves developed as part of its  
Exploration & Production activities. The development of oil and gas  
fields, the construction of facilities and the drilling of production or  
injection wells is capital intensive and requires advanced  
technology. Due to constantly changing market conditions and  
environmental challenges, cost projections can be uncertain. For  
TOTAL’s Exploration & Production activities to continue to be  
profitable, the Group needs to replace its reserves with new proved  
reserves that can be developed and produced in an economically  
viable manner.

Risk Factors  
In addition, TOTAL’s ability to discover or acquire and develop new  
reserves successfully is uncertain and can be negatively affected by  
a number of factors, including:  
estimates indicate, the Group’s financial condition, including  
its operating income and cash flow, could be negatively impacted.  
The Group’s proved reserves figures are estimates prepared in  
accordance with SEC rules. Proved reserves are those reserves  
which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be  
estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically

drilling conditions including pressure or unexpected  
heterogeneities in geological formations;  
the risk of dry holes or failure to find expected commercial  
quantities of hydrocarbons;  
equipment failures, fires, blow-outs or accidents;  
shortages or delays in the availability or delivery of appropriate  
equipment;  
the Group’s inability to develop or implement new technologies  
that enable access to previously inaccessible fields;  
the Group’s inability to anticipate market changes in a timely manner;  
adverse weather conditions;  
the inability of the Group’s partners to execute or finance projects  
in which the Group holds an interest or to meet their contractual  
obligations;  
the inability of service companies to deliver contracted services  
on time and on budget;  
compliance with both anticipated and unanticipated  
governmental requirements, including U.S. and EU regulations  
that may give a competitive advantage to companies not subject  
to such regulations;  
economic or political risks, including threats specific to a certain  
country or region, such as terrorism, social unrest or other  
conflicts (refer to point 1.6 of this chapter);  
competition from oil and gas companies for the acquisition  
and development of assets and licenses (refer to point 1.7  
of this chapter);  
recoverable – from a given date forward, from known reservoirs and  
under existing economic conditions, operating methods and  
government regulations – prior to the time at which contracts  
providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that  
renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or  
probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. Reserves are  
estimated by teams of qualified, experienced and trained  
geoscientists, petroleum engineers and project engineers, who  
rigorously review and analyze in detail all available geoscience and  
engineering data (e.g., seismic data, electrical logs, cores, fluids,  
pressures, flow rates, facilities parameters). This process involves  
making subjective judgments, including with respect to the estimate  
of hydrocarbons initially in place, initial production rates and  
recovery efficiency, based on available geological, technical and  
economic data. Consequently, estimates of reserves are not exact  
measurements and are subject to revision.  
A variety of factors that are beyond the Group’s control could cause  
such estimates to be adjusted downward in the future, or cause the  
Group’s actual production to be lower than its currently reported  
proved reserves indicate. Such factors include:  
– a prolonged period of low prices of oil or gas, making reserves  
no longer economically viable to exploit and therefore not  
classifiable as proved;  
increased taxes and royalties, including retroactive claims and  
changes in regulations and tax reassesments;  
disputes related to property titles.  
– an increase in the price of oil or gas, which may reduce the  
reserves to which the Group is entitled under production sharing  
and risked service contracts and other contractual terms;  
changes in tax rules and other regulations that make reserves no  
longer economically viable to exploit; and  
the actual production performance of the Group’s deposits.  
These factors could lead to cost overruns and could impair the  
Group’s ability to complete a development project or make  
production economical. Some of these factors may also affect the  
Group’s projects and facilities further down the oil and gas chain.  
The Group’s reserves estimates may therefore require substantial  
downward revisions should its subjective judgments prove not to  
have been conservative enough based on the available geoscience  
and engineering data, or the Group’s assumptions regarding factors  
or variables that are beyond its control prove to be incorrect over  
time. Any downward adjustment could indicate lower future  
production amounts, which could adversely affect the Group’s  
financial condition, including its operating income and cash flow.  
If TOTAL fails to develop new reserves cost-effectively and in  
sufficient quantities, the Group’s financial condition, including its  
operating income and cash flow, could be materially affected.  
The Group’s oil and gas reserves data are estimates only and  
subsequent downward adjustments are possible. If actual  
production from such reserves proves to be lower than current  
1.5. Risks related to equity affiliates and management of assets operated  
by third parties  
Many of the Group’s projects are conducted by equity affiliates  
or are operated by third parties. For these projects, the Group’s  
degree of control, as well as its ability to identify and manage  
risks, may be reduced.  
For additional information, refer to Note 8 (“Equity affiliates, other  
titles and related parties”) to the Consolidated Financial Statements  
(point 7 of chapter 10).  
Additionally, the partners of the Group may not be able to meet  
their financial or other obligations to the projects, which may  
threaten the viability of a given project. These partners may also not  
have the financial capacity to fully indemnify the Group or third  
parties in the event of an incident.  
A significant number of the Group’s projects are conducted by  
equity affiliates. In cases where the Group’s company is not the  
operator, such company may have limited influence over, and  
control of, the behavior, performance and costs of the partnership,  
its ability to manage risks may be limited and it may, nevertheless,  
be prosecuted by regulators or claimants in the event of an incident.  
With respect to joint ventures, contractual terms generally provide  
that the operator, whether an entity of the Group or a third party,  
assumes full liability for damages caused by its gross negligence or  
willful misconduct.

In the absence of the operator’s gross negligence or willful  
misconduct, other liabilities are generally borne by the joint venture  
and the cost thereof is assumed by the partners of the joint venture  
in proportion to their respective ownership interests.  
With respect to third-party providers of goods and services, the  
amount and nature of the liability assumed by the third party  
depends on the context and may be limited by contract. Contracts  
may also contain obligations to indemnify TOTAL or for TOTAL to  
indemnify co-contracting parties or third parties.  
1.6. Risks related to political or economic factors  
TOTAL has significant production and reserves located in  
politically, economically and socially unstable areas, where the  
likelihood of material disruption of the Group’s operations is  
relatively high.  
Furthermore, in addition to current production, TOTAL is also  
exploring for and developing new reserves in other regions of the  
world that are historically characterized by political, social and  
economic instability, such as the Caspian Sea region where TOTAL  
has large projects currently underway.  
A significant portion of TOTAL’s oil and gas production and reserves  
is located in countries that are not part of the Organisation for  
Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). In recent years,  
a number of these countries have experienced varying degrees of  
one or more of the following: economic or political instability, civil  
war, violent conflict, social unrest, actions of terrorist groups and  
the application of international economic sanctions. Any of these  
conditions alone or in combination could disrupt the Group’s  
operations in any of these regions, causing substantial declines in  
production or revisions to reserves estimates.  
The occurrence and magnitude of incidents related to economic,  
social and political instability are unpredictable. It is possible that  
they could have a material adverse impact on the Group’s  
production and operations in the future and/or cause certain  
investors to reduce their holdings of TOTAL’s securities.  
TOTAL, like other major international energy companies, has a  
geographically diverse portfolio of reserves and operational sites,  
which allows it to conduct its business and financial affairs so as to  
reduce its exposure to political and economic risks. However, there  
can be no assurance that such events will not have a material  
adverse impact on the Group.  
In Africa, which represented 26%(1) of the Group’s 2016 combined  
liquids and gas production, certain of the countries in which the  
Group has production have recently suffered from some of these  
conditions, including Nigeria, which is one of the main contributing  
countries to the Group’s production of hydrocarbons, and Libya  
Intervention by host country authorities can adversely affect  
the Group’s activities and its operating results.  
(
refer to point 2.1.1.8 of chapter 2).  
TOTAL has significant exploration and production activities, and in  
some cases refining, marketing or chemicals operations, in  
countries whose governmental and regulatory framework is subject  
to unexpected change and where the enforcement of contractual  
rights is uncertain. The legal framework of TOTAL’s exploration and  
production activities, established through concessions, licenses,  
permits and contracts granted by or entered into with a  
government entity, a state-owned company or, sometimes, private  
owners, is subject to risks of renegotiation that, in certain cases,  
can reduce or challenge the protections offered by the initial legal  
framework and/or the economic benefit to TOTAL.  
The Middle East, which represented 21%(2) of the Group’s 2016  
combined liquids and gas production, has in recent years suffered  
increased political volatility in connection with violent conflict and  
social unrest, including Syria, where European Union (EU) and U.S.  
economic sanctions have prohibited TOTAL from producing oil and  
gas since 2011. In Yemen, the deterioration of security conditions in  
the vicinity of Balhaf caused the company Yemen LNG, in which the  
Group holds a stake of 39.62%, to stop its commercial production  
and export of LNG and to declare force majeure to its various  
stakeholders in 2015. The plant has been put in preservation mode.  
In Iran, following the suspension on January 16, 2016 of UN  
economic sanctions, most U.S. secondary sanctions and most EU  
economic sanctions, the Group has engaged in certain activities.  
However, sanctions could be reinstated unilaterally in the event of a  
dispute over Iran’s compliance with its nuclear commitments or in  
certain other cases. For additional information, refer to points 1.9.1  
and 1.9.2 of this chapter.  
In addition, the Group’s exploration and production activities in  
such countries are often undertaken in conjunction with state-  
owned entities, for example as part of a joint venture in which the  
state has a significant degree of control. In recent years, in various  
regions globally, TOTAL has observed governments and state-  
owned enterprises impose more stringent conditions on companies  
pursuing exploration and production activities in their respective  
countries, increasing the costs and uncertainties of the Group’s  
business operations. TOTAL expects this trend to continue.  
In South America, which represented 6% of the Group ’s 2016, combined  
liquids and gas production, certain of the countries in which TOTAL  
has production have recently suffered from some of the above-  
mentioned conditions, including Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela.  
Potential increasing intervention by governments in such countries  
can take a wide variety of forms, including:  
Since July 2014, international economic sanctions have been  
adopted against certain Russian persons and entities, including  
various entities operating in the financial, energy and defense  
sectors. As of December 31, 2016, TOTAL held nearly 21% of its  
proved reserves in Russia, where from the Group had 14% of its  
combined oil and gas production in 2016. For additional  
information, refer to point 1.9.1 of this chapter.

For example, the Nigerian government has been contemplating  
new legislation to govern the petroleum industry which, if passed  
into law, could have an impact on the existing and future activities  
of the Group in that country through increased taxes and/or

If a host government were to intervene in one of these forms in a

1.7. Risks related to competition and lack of innovation  
The Group operates in a highly competitive environment. Its  
competitiveness could be adversely impacted if the Group’s  
level of innovation lagged behind its competitors.  
The Group’s activities are carried out in a constantly changing  
environment with new products and technologies continuously  
emerging. The Group may not be able to anticipate these changes,  
identify and integrate technological developments in order to  
maintain its competitiveness, maintain a high level of performance  
and operational excellence, and best meet the needs and demands  
of its customers. The Group’s innovation policy requires significant  
investment, notably in R&D, of which the expected impact cannot  
be guaranteed.  
TOTAL’s main competitors are comprised of national and international  
oil companies. The evolution of the energy sector has opened the  
door to new competitors and increased market price volatility.  
TOTAL is subject to competition in the acquisition of assets and  
licenses for the exploration and production of oil and natural gas as  
well as for the sale of manufactured products based on crude and  
refined oil. In the gas sector, major producers increasingly compete  
in the downstream value chain with established distribution  
companies. Increased competitive pressure could have a significant  
negative effect on the prices, margins and market shares of the  
Group’s companies.  
In the field of R&D, the multiplication of research partnerships, in  
particular in related technical fields, may make it difficult for the  
Group to track technical information exchanged with research  
partners and monitor related contractual restrictions (e.g.,  
confidentiality, limited use). New and increasingly complex digital  
technologies as well as the multiplication of partnerships are all  
likely to increase contamination risks, which could, as a result, limit  
TOTAL’s ability to exploit innovations.  
The pursuit of unconventional gas development, particularly in the  
United States, has contributed to falling market prices and a  
marked difference between spot and long-term contract prices.  
The competitiveness of long-term contracts indexed to oil prices  
could be affected if this discrepancy persists and if it should prove  
difficult to invoke price revision clauses.  
1.8. Ethical misconduct and non-compliance risks  
Ethical misconduct or breaches of applicable laws by employees  
of the Group could expose TOTAL to criminal and civil penalties  
and be damaging to TOTAL’s reputation and shareholder value.  
In addition, such misconduct or non-compliance may lead the  
competent authorities to impose other measures, such as the  
appointment of an independent monitor in charge of assessing the  
Group’s compliance and internal control procedures and, if need  
be, recommending improvements. For an overview of the  
settlements between TOTAL, the SEC and the Department of  
Justice (DoJ) providing for the appointment of an independent  
monitor, refer to point 4.3 of this chapter and point 3.7 of chapter 7.  
The Group’s Code of Conduct, which applies to all of its  
employees, defines TOTAL’s commitment to business integrity and  
compliance with all applicable legal requirements and high ethical  
standards. This commitment is supported by a “zero tolerance”  
principle. Ethical misconduct (notably with respect to human rights)  
or non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations (including  
corruption, fraud and competition laws) by TOTAL or any third party  
acting on its behalf could expose TOTAL and/or its employees to  
criminal and civil penalties and could be damaging to TOTAL’s  
reputation and shareholder value.  
Generally, entities of the Group could potentially be subject to  
administrative, judicial or arbitration proceedings that could have a  
material adverse impact on the Group’s financial condition and  
reputation (refer to point 2 of this chapter).

and state contracts not to be awarded to such companies. State  
regulators have adopted similar initiatives relating to investments by  
insurance companies. These measures are generally still in effect  
despite the JCPOA sanctions relief. If TOTAL’s activities in Iran were  
determined to fall within the scope of these prohibitions, and in the  
absence of any available exemptions, certain U.S. institutions  
holding interests in TOTAL may be required to sell their interests.  
Various members of the international community have targeted  
certain countries, including Iran and Syria, as well as certain  
economic sectors in Russia, with economic sanctions and other  
restrictive measures. U.S. and European restrictions relevant to the  
Group and certain disclosure concerning the Group’s limited  
activities or presence in certain targeted countries are outlined  
below in points 1.9.1 and 1.9.2, respectively.  
On November 8, 2016, TOTAL signed a heads of agreement  
(“HOA”) with the National Iranian Oil Company (“NIOC”), which was  
removed on January 16, 2016 from the U.S. and EU sanctions  
designation lists. The HOA contemplates that the parties will  
negotiate an agreement for the development of phase 11 of South  
Pars gas field in Iran. For additional information regarding this HOA,  
refer to point 1.9.2, below.  
1.9.1. U.S. and European legal restrictions  
TOTAL continues to closely monitor the possible impacts of  
international economic sanctions regimes on its activities. The  
Group does not believe that its activities in targeted countries are in  
violation of applicable economic sanctions administered by the  
United States, the European Union (“EU”) and other members of  
the international community. However, the Group cannot assure  
that current or future regulations or developments related to  
economic sanctions will not have a negative impact on its business,  
financial condition or reputation. A violation by the Group of  
applicable laws or regulations could result in criminal, civil and/or  
material financial penalties.  
TOTAL believes that its current activities in Iran or involving Iranian  
persons comply with the EU and U.S. sanctions that remain in force  
in respect of Iran.  
Restrictions against Syria  
The EU adopted measures in 2011 regarding trade with and  
investment in Syria that are applicable to European persons and to  
entities constituted under the laws of an EU Member State,  
including, notably, a prohibition on the purchase, import or  
transportation from Syria of crude oil and petroleum products.  
The United States also has adopted comprehensive measures that  
broadly prohibit trade and investment in Syria. Since 2011, the  
Group has ceased activities that contribute to oil and gas production  
in Syria and has not purchased hydrocarbons from Syria.  
Restrictions against Iran  
On July 14, 2015, the EU, China, France, Russia, the United  
Kingdom, the United States and Germany reached an agreement  
with Iran, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (the  
“JCPOA”), regarding limits on Iran’s nuclear activities and relief  
Restrictions against Russia  
under certain U.S., EU and UN economic sanctions regarding Iran.  
On January 16, 2016, the International Atomic Energy Agency  
Since July 2014, international economic sanctions have been adopted  
against certain Russian persons and entities, including various  
entities operating in the financial, energy and defense sectors.  
(“IAEA”) confirmed that Iran had met its initial nuclear compliance  
commitments under the JCPOA. Therefore, as from that date, UN  
economic sanctions, most U.S. secondary sanctions (i.e., those  
covering non-U.S. persons(1)) and most EU economic sanctions  
were suspended(2)). Sanctions could, however, be reinstated  
unilaterally by any participant in the event of a dispute over Iran’s  
compliance with its nuclear commitments or in certain other cases.  
TOTAL is closely monitoring developments in this regard.  
The economic sanctions adopted by the EU since 2014 do not  
materially affect TOTAL’s activities in Russia. TOTAL has been  
formally authorized by the French government, which is the  
competent authority for granting authorization under the EU  
sanctions regime, to continue all its activities in Russia (on the  
Kharyaga and Termokarstovoye fields and the Yamal LNG project).  
With respect to the Group’s activities conducted under the  
sanctions framework that was in place prior to the JCPOA  
sanctions relief, the U.S. Department of State made a determination  
on September 30, 2010 that certain historical activities would not  
be deemed sanctionable and that, so long as TOTAL acts in  
accordance with its commitments related to this determination, it  
will not be regarded as a company of concern for its past Iran-  
related activities. Since 2011, TOTAL has had no production in Iran.  
The United States has notably adopted economic sanctions targeting  
PAO Novatek(3) (“Novatek”), as well as entities in which Novatek  
(individually or with other similarly targeted persons or entities  
collectively) owns an interest of at least 50%, including OAO Yamal  
LNG(4) (“Yamal LNG”) and Terneftegas . These sanctions prohibit  
U.S. persons from transacting in, providing financing for or otherwise  
dealing in debt issued by these entities after July 16, 2014 of greater  
than 90 days maturity. Consequently, the use of the U.S. dollar for  
such financing, including for Yamal LNG, is effectively prohibited.

Certain U.S. states have adopted legislation with respect to Iran  
requiring, in certain conditions, state pension funds to divest

of a heads of agreement (“HOA”) for the development and  
operation of the field. The parties to the HOA are NIOC, Total E&P  
South Pars S.A.S. (a wholly owned affiliate of TOTAL S.A.), CNPC  
International Ltd. (a wholly owned affiliate of China National  
Petroleum Company) and Petropars Ltd. (a wholly owned affiliate of  
NIOC). The HOA contains the key principles and commercial terms  
that will be adopted in a definitive contract for the development and  
operation of South Pars Phase 11, should such definitive contract  
be finally agreed. The project is expected to have a production  
capacity of 370,000 boe/d and the produced gas will be fed into  
Iran’s gas network. TOTAL is expected to operate the project with a  
50.1% interest alongside Petropars (19.9%) and CNPC (30%). The  
required investment is expected to be approximately $4 billion, of  
which TOTAL would finance 50.1%, with all equity contributions  
and payments in non-U.S. currency. In preparation for the South  
Pars Phase 11 project, TOTAL commenced engineering and  
reservoir studies, which were presented in part to Pars Oil & Gas  
Company (a NIOC affiliate) in 2016 during a technical workshop. In  
the event of new or reinstated international economic sanctions, if  
such sanctions were to prevent the Group from performing under  
the anticipated contract for South Pars Phase 11, TOTAL expects  
to be able to terminate the contract and recover its past costs from  
NIOC (unless prevented by sanctions).  
As of December 31, 2016, TOTAL held nearly 21% of its proved  
reserves in Russia, where from the Group had 14% of its combined  
oil and gas production in 2016.  
TOTAL continues to closely monitor the different international  
sanctions regimes targeting certain sectors of the economy of  
Russia, and in particular, it closely monitors the potential imposition  
of additional sanctions.

.9.2. Information concerning certain limited  
activities in Iran and Syria  
Provided in this section is certain information concerning TOTAL’s  
activities related to Iran that took place in 2016 that is required to  
be disclosed pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange  
Act of 1934, as amended (“U.S. Exchange Act”). In addition,  
information for 2016 is provided concerning the various types of  
payments made by Group affiliates to the government of any  
country identified by the United States as a state sponsor of  
terrorism (currently, Iran, Syria and Sudan(1)) or any entity controlled  
by those governments. TOTAL believes that these activities are not  
sanctionable and has not been informed that it is at risk of possible  
imposition of sanctions for activities previously disclosed. For more  
information on certain U.S. and EU restrictions relevant to TOTAL in  
these jurisdictions, see point 1.9.1 above.  
Regarding other potential oil and gas projects covered by the  
aforementioned MOU, TOTAL held technical meetings in 2016 with  
representatives of NIOC and its affiliated companies and carried out  
a technical review of the South Azadegan oil field in Iran as well as  
the Iran LNG Project (a project contemplating a 10 Mt/y LNG  
production facility at Tombak Port on Iran’s Persian Gulf coast), the  
results of which were partially disclosed to NIOC and relevant  
affiliated companies.

In addition, in connection with anticipated activities under the  
aforementioned MOU and HOA, TOTAL attended meetings in 2016  
with the Iranian oil and gas ministry and several Iranian companies  
with ties to the government of Iran.  
(“ITRA”) added Section 13(r) to the U.S. Exchange Act, which  
requires TOTAL to disclose whether it or any of its affiliates has  
engaged during the calendar year in certain Iran-related activities,  
including those targeted under ISA, without regard to whether such  
activities are sanctionable under ISA, and any transaction or dealing  
with the Government of Iran that is not conducted pursuant to a  
specific authorization of the U.S. government. While neither TOTAL  
S.A. nor any of its affiliates have engaged in any activity that would  
be required to be disclosed pursuant to subparagraphs(A),(B) or(C)  
of Section 13(r) (1), affiliates of the Company may be deemed to  
have engaged in certain transactions or dealings with the  
government of Iran that would require disclosure pursuant to  
Section 13(r) (1)(D), as discussed below.  
Also in 2016, TOTAL was selected, along with other international oil  
and gas companies, to form an advisory group to the oil and gas  
ministries of Iran and Oman concerning a possible future gas  
pipeline between the two countries. In that regard, TOTAL entered  
into a confidentiality agreement and attended meetings with these  
companies and ministries.  
In addition, TOTAL registered in 2016 a branch office of a new  
entity, Total Iran B.V., a wholly-owned affiliate of TOTAL S.A., the  
purpose of which is to serve as the representation office for the  
Group in Iran. This entity replaces Total E&P Iran, which previously  
served the same purpose, but only for Exploration & Production.

respect to these contracts, development operations were  
completed in 2010 and the Group is no longer involved in the  
operation of these fields.

March 16, 2016, TEP UK has liaised directly with IOC concerning  
its interest in the Bruce Rhum Agreement, and services have been  
provided by TEP UK under the Bruce Rhum Agreement to IOC as  
Rhum Owner. In 2016, these activities generated for TEP UK gross  
revenue of approximately £8 million (approximately $9.8 million) and  
net profit of approximately £0.20 million (approximately $0.25 million).

Frigg UK Association and the St Fergus Gas Terminal and was  
party to an agreement governing provision of transportation and  
processing services to the Rhum Owners (the “Rhum FUKA  
Agreement”) (the Bruce Rhum Agreement and the Rhum FUKA  
Agreement being referred to collectively as the “Rhum  
Agreements”). On August 27, 2015, TEP UK signed a sale and  
purchase agreement to divest its entire interest in the Frigg UK  
Association pipeline and St Fergus Gas Terminal to NSMP  
Operations Limited (“NSMP”). On March 15, 2016, the divestment  
was completed and TEP UK’s interest in the Rhum FUKA  
Agreement was novated to NSMP. As from this date, TEP UK’s only  
interest in the Rhum FUKA Agreement is in relation to the  
settlement of historical force majeure claims with the Rhum Owners  
relating to the period when the Rhum field was shut down. To  
TOTAL’s knowledge, provision of all services under the Rhum  
Agreements was initially suspended in November 2010, when the  
Rhum field stopped production following the adoption of EU  
sanctions, other than critical safety-related services (i.e., monitoring  
and marine inspection of the Rhum facilities), which were permitted

The Group does not own or operate any refineries or chemicals  
plants in Iran and did not purchase Iranian hydrocarbons when  
prohibited by applicable EU and U.S. economic and financial  
sanctions (refer to point 1.9.1, above).  
The Group resumed its trading activities with Iran in February 2016  
via its wholly-owned affiliates Totsa Total Oil Trading S.A. and Total  
Trading Asia Pte Ltd. During 2016, approximately 50 Mb of crude  
oil from Iran were purchased for nearly 1.8 billion (nearly $1.9 billion)  
pursuant to a mix of spot and term contracts. Most of this crude oil  
was used to supply the Group’s refineries and, therefore, it is not  
possible to estimate the related gross revenue and net profit.  
However, approximately 1.4 Mb of this crude oil were sold to entities  
outside of the Group. In addition, in 2016 approximately 11 Mb of  
petroleum products were bought from/sold to entities with ties to  
the government of Iran. These operations generated gross revenue  
of nearly 374 million (nearly $394 million) and net profit of  
approximately 2.7 million (approximately $2.8 million). The affiliates  
expect to continue these activities in 2017.

Russian Olympic Committee did not have standing in the matter.  
On June 30, 2011, the Court of Appeal of Paris dismissed as  
inadmissible the claim of Blue Rapid and the Russian Olympic  
Committee against Elf Aquitaine, notably on the grounds of the

concluded that TOTAL had fulfilled all of its obligations, thus  
bringing an end to the monitoring process. As a result, a court in  
the State of Virginia granted a motion to dismiss on November 9,  
2016, thereby terminating the procedure directed at the Company,  
which can no longer be pursued in the United States for these  
same facts.  
With respect to the same facts, TOTAL was placed under formal  
investigation in France in 2012. In October 2014, the investigating  
magistrate decided to refer the case to trial.  
On September 24, 2012, the Court of Appeal convicted the former  
Plant Manager and Grande Paroisse. The summonses were  
determined to be inadmissible.  
Italy  
On January 13, 2015, the French Supreme Court (Cour de  
cassation) fully quashed the decision of September 24, 2012. The  
French Supreme Court ruled that the Court of Appeal impartiality  
was questionable and that the application of the law on which the  
conviction was partially based was improper. The case has been  
referred back to the Court of Appeal of Paris for a new criminal trial,  
which began in January 2017.  
As part of an investigation led by the Public Prosecutor of the  
Potenza Court in 2007, Total Italia and also certain Group  
employees were the subjects of an investigation related to alleged  
irregularities in connection with the purchase of lands and the  
award of calls for tenders in relation to the preparation and  
development of an oil field located in the south of Italy.  
Pursuant to a judgment issued on April 4, 2016, the Potenza  
Criminal Court found four employees to be guilty of corruption, with  
two of these employees also being found guilty of misappropriation  
in connection with the purchase of land. The procedure with  
respect to Total Italia was sent back to the public prosecutor due to  
the imprecision of the terms of prosecution. The four employees  
decided to challenge the judgment before the Court of Appeal.  
A compensation mechanism for victims was set up immediately  
following the explosion. 2.3 billion was paid for the compensation  
of claims and related expenses amounts. A 4.7 million reserve  
remains booked in the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements  
as of December 31, 2016.  
Iran  
In 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) followed  
by the Department of Justice (DoJ) issued a formal order directing  
an investigation against TOTAL, and others oil companies, for  
alleged violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and  
the Company’s accounting obligations in connection with the  
pursuit of business in Iran in the 1990s.  
Oil-for-Food Program  
Several countries have launched investigations concerning possible  
violations of the UN resolutions relating to the Iraqi Oil-for-Food  
Program implemented as from 1996.  
Pursuant to a French criminal investigation, certain current or  
former Group employees were placed under formal criminal  
investigation for possible charges as aiding and abetting the  
misappropriation of corporate assets and/or as aiding and abetting  
the corruption of foreign public agents. In 2010, TOTAL S.A. was  
indicted on bribery charges as well as aiding and abetting and  
concealing the influence peddling.  
In late May 2013, and after several years of discussions, TOTAL  
reached settlements with the U.S. authorities (a Deferred  
Prosecution Agreement with the DoJ and a Cease and Desist Order  
with the SEC). These settlements, which put an end to these  
investigations, were concluded without admission of guilt and in  
exchange for TOTAL respecting a number of obligations, including  
the payment of a fine and civil compensation for an aggregate  
amount of $398.2 million. By virtue of these settlements, TOTAL  
also accepted the appointment of an independent compliance  
monitor to review the Group’s compliance program and to  
recommend possible improvements.  
On July 8, 2013, TOTAL S.A. and the persons who were  
prosecuted were cleared of all charges by the Paris Criminal Court,  
which found that none of the offenses for which they had been  
prosecuted was established. The Prosecutor’s office appealed the  
parts of the Criminal Court’s decision acquitting TOTAL S.A. for  
corruption of foreign public agents. On February 26, 2016, the  
Court of Appeal of Paris overturned the Criminal Court’s decision  
and TOTAL S.A. was convicted and ordered to pay a fine  
of 750,000. The Company has decided to appeal this decision  
before the French Supreme Court (Cour de cassation).  
In July 2016, the monitor submitted his third and final report, in  
which he certified that TOTAL had devised and implemented an  
appropriate compliance program. As a result of this certification, the  
U.S. authorities, after having reviewed the monitor’s report,

Insurance and risk management  
4
3. Insurance and risk management  
3.1. Organization  
TOTAL has its own reinsurance company, Omnium Reinsurance  
Company (ORC). ORC is integrated within the Group’s insurance  
management and is used as a centralized global operations tool for  
covering the Group companies’ insurable risks. It allows the  
Group’s worldwide insurance program to be implemented in  
compliance with the specific requirements of local regulations  
applicable in the countries where the Group operates.  
At the same time, ORC negotiates a reinsurance program at the  
Group level with oil industry mutual insurance companies and  
commercial reinsurance markets. ORC allows the Group to better  
manage price variations in the insurance market by taking on a  
greater or lesser amount of risk corresponding to the price trends in  
the insurance market.  
In 2016, the net amount of risk retained by ORC after reinsurance  
was, on the one hand, a maximum of $70 million per onshore or  
offshore third-party liability insurance claim and, on the other  
hand, $75 million per property damage and/or business interruption  
insurance claim. Accordingly, in the event of any loss giving rise to  
an aggregate insurance claim, the effect on ORC would be limited  
to its maximum retention of $145 million per occurrence.  
Some countries may require the purchase of insurance from a local  
insurance company. If the local insurer accepts to cover the  
subsidiary of the Group in compliance with its worldwide insurance  
program, ORC negotiates a retrocession of the covered risks from  
the local insurer. As a result, ORC enters into reinsurance contracts  
with the subsidiaries’ local insurance companies, which transfer  
most of the risk to ORC.  
3.2. Risk and insurance management policy  
In this context, the Group risk and insurance management policy is  
to work with the relevant internal department of each subsidiary to:  
– help implement measures to limit the probability that a  
catastrophic event occurs and the financial consequences if such  
event should occur; and  
define scenarios of major disaster risks (estimated maximum loss);  
assess the potential financial impact on the Group should a  
catastrophic event occur;  
manage the level of financial risk from such events to be either  
covered internally by the Group or transferred to the insurance  
market.  
3.3. Insurance policy  
The Group has worldwide property insurance and third-party liability  
coverage for all its subsidiaries. These programs are contracted  
with first-class insurers (or reinsurers and oil and gas industry  
mutual insurance companies through ORC).  
For example, for the Group’s highest risks (North Sea platforms and  
main refineries or petrochemical plants), in 2016 the insurance limit  
for the Group share of the installations was approximately $1.75  
billion for the Refining & Chemicals segment and  
approximately $2.15 billion for the Upstream segment.  
The amounts insured depend on the financial risks defined in the  
disaster scenarios and the coverage terms offered by the market  
Deductibles for property damage and third-party liability fluctuate  
between 0.1 and 10 million depending on the level of risk and  
liability, and are borne by the relevant subsidiaries. For business  
interruption, coverage is triggered 60 days after the occurrence  
giving rise to the interruption. In addition, the main refineries and  
petrochemical plants bear a combined retention for property  
damage and business interruption of $75 million per insurance  
claim.  
(available capacities and price conditions).  
More specifically for:  
third-party liability: since the maximum financial risk cannot be  
evaluated by a systematic approach, the amounts insured are  
based on market conditions and oil and gas industry practice. In  
2016, the Group’s third-party liability insurance for any liability  
(
including potential accidental environmental liabilities) was  
Other insurance contracts are bought by the Group in addition to  
property damage and third-party liability coverage, mainly in  
connection with car fleets, credit insurance and employee benefits.  
These risks are mostly underwritten by outside insurance  
companies.  
capped at $900 million (onshore) and $850 million (offshore). In  
addition, the Group adopts, where appropriate, the necessary  
means to manage the compensation of victims in the event of an  
industrial accident for which it is liable; and  
property damage and business interruption: the amounts insured  
vary by sector and by site and are based on the estimated cost  
and scenarios of reconstruction under maximum loss situations  
and on insurance market conditions. The Group subscribed for  
business interruption coverage in 2016 for its main refining and  
petrochemical sites.  
The above-described policy is given as an example of a situation as  
of a given date and cannot be considered as representative of  
future conditions. The Group’s insurance policy may be changed at  
any time depending on the market conditions, specific  
circumstances and on General Management’s assessment of the  
risks incurred and the adequacy of their coverage.

Internal control and risk management procedures  
TOTAL believes that its insurance coverage is in line with industry  
practice and sufficient to cover normal risks in its operations.  
However, the Group is not insured against all potential risks. In the  
event of a major environmental disaster, for example, TOTAL’s  
liability may exceed the maximum coverage provided by its third-  
party liability insurance. The loss TOTAL could suffer in the event of  
such disaster would depend on all the facts and circumstances of  
the event and would be subject to a whole range of uncertainties,  
including legal uncertainty as to the scope of liability for  
consequential damages, which may include economic damage not  
directly connected to the disaster. The Group cannot guarantee  
that it will not suffer any uninsured loss and there can be no  
guarantee, particularly in the event of a major environmental  
disaster or industrial accident, that such loss would not have a  
material adverse effect on the Group.

. Internal control and risk management procedures  
(
Article L. 225-37 of the French Commercial Code)  
The information related to the internal control and risk management  
procedures implemented within the Group presented hereafter forms  
part of the Report of the Chairman of the Board of Directors prepared  
pursuant to Article L. 225-37 of the French Commercial Code (refer  
to the cross-reference list specific to the Report of the Chairman of  
the Board of Directors, page 381 of this Registration Document).  
The information contained in the Report of the Chairman of the  
Board of Directors was prepared with the assistance of several of  
the Company’s functional departments, including in particular the  
Legal, Finance and Audit & Internal Control Divisions. After the  
sections relevant to their respective duties were reviewed by the  
Governance and Ethics Committee, the Compensation Committee  
and the Audit Committee, the information was approved by the  
Board of Directors.  
4.1. Basic elements of internal control  
The Group is structured around business segments to which the  
Group’s operational entities report. The business segments’  
management are responsible, within their area of responsibility, for  
ensuring that operations are carried out in accordance with the  
strategic objectives defined by the Board of Directors and General  
Management. The functional departments at the Holding level help  
General Management define norms and standards, oversee their  
application and monitor activities. They also lend their expertise to  
the operational divisions.  
The Group’s internal control and risk management systems are  
therefore based on the five components of this framework: control  
environment, risk assessment, control activities, monitoring and  
information, and communication.  
The Group’s risk management system draws on the main  
international standards (COSO Enterprise Risk Management  
integrated framework, ISO 31000: 2009 – Risk management) as  
well as on French standards (Reference framework of the French  
Financial Markets Authority). The internal Risk Management,  
Internal Control and Audit Charter forms the common framework  
on which the Group relies to ensure control of its activities.  
The Group’s internal control and risk management systems are  
structured around this three-level organization – Holding level,  
business segments, operational entities – where each level is  
directly involved and accountable in line with the level of delegation  
determined by General Management.  
The Group’s internal control and risk management systems cover  
the processes of the fully consolidated entities and the most  
important equity affiliates.  
General Management constantly strives to maintain an efficient  
internal control system across the Group, based on the framework  
of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway  
Commission (COSO). In this framework, internal control is a  
process intended to provide reasonable assurance that the  
objectives related to operations, reporting and compliance with  
applicable laws and regulations are achieved. As for any internal  
control system, it cannot provide an absolute guarantee that all  
risks are completely controlled or eliminated. The COSO framework  
is considered equivalent to the reference framework of the French  
Financial Markets Authority (Autorité des marchés financiers). The  
Group has also chosen to rely on this framework as part of its  
obligations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  
Under these internal control principles, which are part of the corporate  
governance organization, the Audit Committee is responsible for  
monitoring the efficiency of internal control and risk management  
systems, assisted by the Corporate Audit & Internal Control Division  
and the internal control teams from the business segments. These  
rules are particularly designed to allow the Board of Directors to  
ensure that internal control is effective and that published information  
available to shareholders and financial markets is reliable.  
Approximately 400 employees monitor the internal control systems  
within the Group. The assessment of the internal control and risk  
management system is mainly overseen by the Corporate  
Audit & Internal Control Division, which employed 77 people in  
2016 and carried out more than 165 internal audits.

4.2. Control environment  
TOTAL’s control environment is based primarily on its Code of  
Conduct, which, in addition to safety, sets forth its core values  
employees, and (3) internal auditors who, through their internal  
control reports, provide recommendations to improve the  
effectiveness of the system.  
(respect, responsibility and exemplary conduct) and business  
principles in terms of safety, security, health, protection of the  
environment, integrity and respect for human rights. This Code  
of Conduct builds trust between TOTAL and both its employees  
and stakeholders.  
In addition, an accountability system is defined and formalized at all  
levels of the organization, through organization notes, organization  
charts, appointment notes, job descriptions and delegations of  
powers. Each business segment has established clear rules applicable  
to its specific scope by directly integrating the Group’s instructions.  
Integrity and ethics  
The Group’s values and business principles are set out in its Code  
of Conduct (revised in 2014), its Business Integrity Guide and its  
Human Rights Guide (revised in 2015). These documents are  
distributed to all employees and are available on the intranet. They  
also set out the rules of individual behavior expected of all  
employees in the countries where the Group has a presence. The  
Group has pledged its adherence to recognized international  
standards related to human rights and, in particular, the core  
conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO), the  
voluntary principles on security and human rights and the United  
Nations guiding principles on business and human rights.  
Policies and procedures  
TOTAL incorporates the values, fundamental principles, strategic  
options and respective requirements of the businesses, at all levels  
of the organization, into a normative framework, supplemented by a  
set of practical recommendations and feedback. Like the Group’s  
organization, this framework has a three-level structure: a Group  
level, with the REFLEX Group framework and the technical  
framework set out by the Corporate Technology Group,  
frameworks for each business segment; and a specific framework  
for each significant operational entity.  
A document known as the governance framework details the  
relationship between these frameworks and describes their  
respective scope, the way in which the standards differ from one  
another (by adaptation, clarification or stricter requirements relative  
to higher level standards), exemption processes, if any, standards  
development processes and the monitoring system put in place.  
The Financial Code of Ethics, which also refers to the Code of  
Conduct, sets forth specific rules for the Chairman and Chief  
Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Vice President of  
the Corporate Accounting Division and the financial and accounting  
officers of the principal Group activities.  
As a priority of General Management, the Group deploys ethics and  
compliance policies and programs, including in particular programs  
for the prevention of corruption, fraud and competition law  
infringement. These include awareness and training activities as  
well as compliance audits and ethical assessments (refer to point  
The main procedures regarding financial controls established at the  
corporate level cover acquisitions and sales, capital expenditure,  
financing and cash management, budget control and financial  
reporting. Disclosure controls and procedures are in place (refer to  
point 4.3.2 below). At the operating levels, these procedures mainly  
pertain to directives, rules and recommendations regarding health,  
safety, industrial safety, IT security and the environment, as well as  
integrity and fraud and corruption prevention.  
3.7 of chapter 7). The Group also relies on the Ethics Committee,  
the role of which is to listen and provide assistance in these areas.  
The relationship between the Group and its service providers is also  
based on adherence to the principles set forth in the Code of  
Conduct and on the Fundamental Principles of Purchasing attached  
to contracts. Suppliers and service providers are required to apply  
standards equivalent to those of the Group, particularly with respect  
to their employees, and to make every effort to encourage their  
own suppliers and subcontractors in turn to respect these principles  
These documents, all of which are published on the Group’s  
intranet, are reviewed regularly and their implementation is monitored.  
At the business segment or operational entity levels, control  
activities are organized around the main operational processes:  
exploration and reserves, procurement, capital expenditure,  
production, sales, oil and gas trading, inventories, human resources,  
financing and cash management, and account closing process.  
(for further information about relations between the Group and its  
suppliers, refer to point 3.6 of chapter 7).  
Structure, authority and responsibility  
Commitment to competence  
General Management ensures that the organizational structure and  
reporting lines plan, execute, control and periodically assess the  
Group’s activities. General Management regularly reviews the  
relevance of the organizational structures so as to be able to adapt  
them quickly to changes in the activities and in the environment in  
which they are carried out.  
The Group’s human resources policy sets out rules and practices  
that reflect its commitment in terms of social responsibility and its  
expectations of employees, particularly in terms of competencies.  
Descriptions of jobs within the Group’s various entities define the  
competencies and expertise required for employees to carry out  
their functions effectively.  
The Group has also defined central responsibilities that cover the  
three lines of defense of internal control: (1) operational  
management, which is responsible for implementing internal  
control, (2) support functions (such as Finance, Legal, Human  
Resources, etc.), which prescribe the internal control systems,  
verify their implementation and effectiveness and assist operational  
In addition, the Human Resources function shapes and regularly  
updates policies aimed at attracting new talents, including  
employee training, assessment and retention policies (annual  
appraisals, training programs, compensation policies and career  
management – refer to point 1 of chapter 7).

Internal control and risk management procedures  
Accountability  
These two categories of entities account for approximately 80%  
and 10%, respectively, of the financial aggregates in the Group’s  
Consolidated Financial Statements.  
The Board of Directors, with the support of the Audit Committee,  
ensures that the internal control functions are operating properly.  
The Audit Committee ensures that General Management implements  
internal control and risk management procedures based on the  
risks identified, such that the Group’s objectives are achieved.  
In addition, any activity, process or management system may be  
the subject of an internal audit conducted by Group Audit, in  
accordance with the international internal audit framework and its  
Code of Ethics. The Corporate Audit & Internal Control Division also  
conducts joint audits with third-party auditors and provides  
assistance (advice, analysis, input regarding methodology). The  
audit plan, which is based on an analysis of the risks and risk  
management systems, is submitted annually to the Executive  
Committee and the Audit Committee for approval. The statutory  
auditors also review the internal controls that they deem necessary  
as part of their certification of the financial statements. In 2016, they  
reviewed the implementation of the Group’s internal control  
framework and the design and effectiveness of key internal controls  
at its main entities regarding financial reporting. Based on their  
review, the statutory auditors stated that they had no remarks on  
the information and statements presented in this present Report of  
the Chairman of the Board of Directors on internal control and risk  
management procedures.  
The general managements of the business segments and  
operational entities are responsible for designing and deploying  
specific components of this internal control and risk management  
system within their area of responsibility. A representation letter  
process deployed at the various levels of the organization reinforces  
the effectiveness of the internal control system, particularly over  
financial reporting.  
The Internal Control Department has pursued a process aimed at  
strengthening the assessment of the role and involvement of all  
employees in terms of internal control. Training initiatives tailored to  
the various stakeholders involved in the internal control process are  
regularly launched within the Group. In 2016, an internal control  
seminar brought together over 100 Group employees in addition to  
online participants.  
The reports on the work performed by the Group Audit and  
statutory auditors are periodically summarized and presented  
to the Audit Committee and, thereby, to the Board of Directors.  
The Senior Vice President, Audit & Internal Control attended all  
Audit Committee meetings held in 2016. The Audit Committee also  
interviews the statutory auditors at least once a year without any  
Company representatives present.  
Control activities and assessment  
The Group regularly examines and assesses the design and  
effectiveness of the key operational, financial and information  
technology controls related to internal control over financial  
reporting, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In  
2016, this assessment was performed with the assistance of the  
Group’s main entities and the Corporate Audit & Internal Control  
Division. The system used covers:  
If areas of improvement are identified by these internal audits and  
operational controls, then corrective action plans are drawn up and  
shared with operational management, who along with the  
the most significant entities, which assess the key operational  
controls of their significant processes and respond to a Group  
questionnaire for assessing the internal control system; and  
other less significant entities, which respond only to the Group  
questionnaire for assessing the internal control system.  
Corporate Audit & Internal Control Division, monitor them closely.  
Based on the internal reviews, General Management has reasonable  
assurance of the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.  
4.3. Risk assessment and management  
To implement its strategy, General Management ensures that clear  
and precise objectives are defined at the various levels of the  
organization with regard to operations, reporting and compliance.  
The Group has developed a control framework in line with the risk  
assessments performed and implements initiatives necessary for  
addressing specific risks by enforcing Group-wide rules. These  
initiatives must reduce the probability of occurrence of risks and  
their possible impact. They also cover the main processes  
outsourced via subcontracting agreements.  
Operational objectives focus on the definition and efficient use of  
human, financial and technical resources. In particular, they are  
defined during the budgetary processes and in the long-term plan,  
and are regularly monitored as part of the self-assessment process.  
TOTAL also identifies changes that could have a significant impact  
on its internal control system, particularly changes related to assets  
consolidated by the business segments. To this end, the Group  
relies on governance bodies adapted to its various activities and  
capable of making and implementing decisions necessary for quickly  
responding to material changes that the Group must deal with.  
The monitoring of operational objectives (financial and non-financial)  
helps in decision-making and monitoring performance of activities  
at each level of the organization.  
TOTAL has set up an ongoing process to identify and analyze risks  
that may affect its employees, assets and environment, and  
preclude the achievement of its objectives. The Group takes into  
account risks at all levels of the organization and in all its entities,  
and examines factors that influence the severity, probability of  
occurrence of risks or the loss of its assets and the potential impact  
on operations, reporting (financial and non-financial) and  
compliance with applicable laws and regulations.  
The risk-mapping activities carried out by the Group’s entities as  
part of a regular risk assessment process help identify and analyze  
key ongoing or foreseeable changes.

commercial activity. These risks are managed centrally by the  
Treasury Department, which operates within a set of limits defined  
by General Management.  
The Executive Committee, with the assistance of the Group Risk  
Management Committee created in 2011, is responsible for  
identifying and analyzing internal and external risks that could  
impact TOTAL’s performance. The main responsibilities of the  
Group Risk Management Committee include ensuring that the  
Group has an up-to-date map of the risks to which it is exposed  
and that efficient risk management systems are in place.  
The policy for managing risks related to financing and cash  
management activities as well as the Group’s currency exposure  
and interest rate risks is described in detail in Note 15 to the  
Consolidated Financial Statements (point 7 of chapter 10).  
Industrial and environmental risks and risks related  
to climate issues  
The Group Risk Management Committee relies on the work carried  
out by the business segments and functional departments, which  
concurrently establish their own risk mapping. These maps are  
drawn up according to a methodological framework developed by  
the Group. The activities of the Group Risk Management Committee,  
the major risks identified by the Group and the risk mappings of the  
business segments are regularly reported to the Audit Committee.  
The Group has developed a Safety Health Environment Quality  
Charter that sets out the basic principles applicable to the  
protection of people, property and the environment and also covers  
the aspects of safety and health (H3SEQ). This Charter is  
implemented at several levels within the Group through its  
management systems.  
The Group’s business segments and entities are responsible for  
defining and implementing a risk management policy suited to their  
specific activities. However, the handling of certain transverse risks  
is more closely coordinated by the respective functional departments.  
Along these lines, TOTAL implements management systems such  
as the internal management system MAESTRO, which meets all of  
the requirements of the standards ISO 14001, ISO 9001 and  
OHSAS 18001, as well as the future ISO 45001. The Group  
performs regular assessments, following various procedures, of the  
risks and impacts of its activities in the areas of industrial safety  
General Management exercises operational control over TOTAL’s  
activities through the Executive Committee’s approval of  
investments and commitments for projects based on defined  
thresholds. The Risk Committee (CORISK) is tasked with reviewing  
these projects in advance and informing the Executive Committee  
of its findings. As part of this review, the CORISK verifies the  
analysis of the various project-related risks.  
(particularly process safety), the environment and the protection of  
workers and local residents:  
– prior to approving new investment, acquisition and  
disposal projects;  
during operations (safety studies, environmental impact  
assessments, health impact studies); and  
prior to releasing new substances on the market (toxicological  
and ecotoxicological studies and life cycle analyses).  
The Group strives to implement effective control systems for the  
main risks identified.  
Financial risks  
These assessments incorporate the regulatory requirements of the  
countries where the Group’s activities are carried out and generally  
accepted professional practices.  
The management and conditions procedures for using financial  
instruments are governed by strict rules that are defined by the  
Group’s General Management, and which provide for centralization  
by the Treasury Division of liquidity, interest exchange rate positions,  
management of financial instruments and access to capital markets.  
In countries where prior administrative authorization and supervision  
is required, projects are not undertaken without the authorization of  
the relevant authorities based on the studies provided to them.  
The Group’s financing policy consists of incurring long-term debt at  
a floating rate or at a fixed rate depending on interest rates. Debt is  
mainly incurred in dollars or euros according to the Group’s general  
corporate needs.  
In particular, TOTAL has developed a common methodology for  
analyzing technological risks that is being gradually applied to all  
activities carried out by the companies of the Group (refer to point  
2
.2.2 of chapter 7). TOTAL develops risk management measures  
The Group’s cash balances, which mainly consist of dollars and  
euros, are managed to maintain liquidity based on daily interest  
rates in the given currency. Maximum amounts are set for  
transactions exceeding one month, with placements not to exceed  
based on risk and impact assessments. These measures involve  
facility and structure design, the reinforcement of safety devices  
and environmental remediation.

by international banks. These credit facilities, along with the Group’s  
net cash position, allow it to continually maintain a high level of  
liquidity in accordance with targets set by General Management.  
In terms of counterparty risk in financial transactions, the Group  
adheres to a cautious policy, and only makes commitments with  
institutions featuring a high degree of financial soundness, as based  
on a multi-criteria analysis. An overall credit limit is set for each  
authorized financial counterparty and allocated among the Group’s  
subsidiaries. In addition, to reduce market value risk on its  
commitments, the Treasury Division has entered into margin call  
contracts with its significant counterparties.  
In addition, performance indicators (particularly in the areas of HSE)  
and risk monitoring have been put in place, objectives have been  
set and action plans have been implemented to achieve these  
objectives (refer to point 2 of chapter 7).  
Although the emphasis is on preventing risks, TOTAL takes regular  
steps to prepare for crisis management based on identified risk  
scenarios. The Group has a crisis management process that relies  
on a permanent on-call system, regular drills, training courses in  
crisis management and a set of tools. The organization set up in  
the event of a crisis is deployed at two closely coordinated levels:  
The Group seeks to minimize its currency exposure, on the one  
hand by financing its long-term assets in the functional currency of  
the entity to which they belong and, on the other hand, by  
systematically hedging the currency exposure generated by

type of risk (e.g., sea level, storms, temperature, permafrost) and  
take into account the life span of the projects and their capacity to  
gradually adapt. These studies have not identified any facilities that  
cannot withstand the consequences of climate change known today.  
Risks related to information systems  
TOTAL’s IT Department has developed and distributed governance  
and security rules that describe the recommended infrastructure,  
organization and procedures in order to maintain information  
systems that are appropriate to the organization’s needs and the  
risks associated with information systems and their data. These  
rules are implemented across the Group under the responsibility of  
the various business segments.  
Concerning the area of security, the Group has put in place the means  
to monitor and analyze threats and risks at a central level in order to  
anticipate and take all necessary preventive measures so as to  
diminish its exposure to security risks in the countries where it operates.  
In addition, TOTAL has developed emergency plans and  
procedures to respond to an oil spill or leak. These plans and  
procedures are specific to each subsidiary and adapted to its  
organization, activities and environment, and are consistent with the  
Group’s anti-pollution plan. They are reviewed regularly and tested  
through drills (refer to point 2.2.3 of chapter 7).  
The Group has also developed control activities at various levels of  
the organization relating to areas where information systems cover  
all or part of the processes. Information Technology General  
Controls aim to guarantee that information systems function and  
are available as required, and that data integrity is guaranteed and  
changes controlled.  
At the Group level, TOTAL has set up an organization structured  
around the Plan to Mobilize Resources Against Pollution  
Information Technology Automated Controls aim to ensure the

(PARAPOL) alert scheme to facilitate crisis management and  
provide assistance regardless of geographical restrictions in the  
event of pollution of marine, coastal or inland waters. Its main  
objective is to facilitate access to internal and external experts and  
physical response resources (FOST, Cedre, OSRL).  
The outsourcing of some components of the Group’s IT  
infrastructure to service providers poses specific risks and requires  
the selection and development of additional controls of the  
completeness, accuracy and validity of the information supplied  
and received from such service providers. Accordingly, to ensure  
continuous improvement, the Group assesses whether suitable  
controls are implemented by the service providers concerned and  
what controls are necessary within its own organization to maintain  
these risks at an acceptable level.  
With regard to risks related to climate issues, TOTAL is committed  
to managing its energy consumption and develops processes to  
improve its energy performance and that of its customers, in  
accordance with its Safety Health Environment Quality Charter.  
In its decision-making process, the risks and associated climate

To mitigate the risks of third parties infringing its intellectual proprety  
and the leak of know-how, TOTAL protects its rights under research  
partnership agreements negotiated by the Group’s intellectual  
property specialists, the terms and conditions of which are  
consistent with the Group’s industrial and commercial strategy.  
The Group has a policy of filing and maintaining patents, it monitors  
technological developments in terms of freedom of use, and it  
takes, when necessary, all appropriate measures to ensure the  
protection of its rights.  
In addition, TOTAL takes into account the 2°C scenario of the  
International Agency for Energy (IAE) in its analysis of changes in  
energy markets (notably that of hydrocarbons) and its development  
strategy. As a result, the Group is prioritizing its projects and  
focusing on hydrocarbon assets with moderate production  
and processing costs that meet the highest environmental  
and safety standards.  
Finally, the Group assesses the vulnerability of its facilities to  
climatic events so that their consequences do not affect the  
integrity of the facilities or the safety of individuals. More generally,  
natural hazards (climate-related risks as well as seismic, tsunami,  
soil strength and other risks) are taken into account in the  
conception of industrial facilities, which are designed to withstand  
both normal and extreme conditions. The Group carries out a  
systematic assessment of the possible repercussions of climate  
In addition, since some of its employees have access to confidential  
documents while performing their duties, TOTAL adopted internal rules  
concerning the management of confidential information. The Group’s  
intellectual proprety specialists also carry out awareness-raising  
activities with the R&D teams so that the teams are better informed  
about restrictions that may apply to the use of information and data.

mobililization of the entire Group and its efforts in this area continue  
with the goal of ensuring the durability, evolution and continuous  
improvment of this compliance program.  
Fraud prevention  
The Group deploys an anti-fraud and fraud prevention program and  
has implemented a range of procedures and programs that help to  
prevent, detect and limit different types of fraud. This effort is  
supported by the business principles and values of individual  
behavior described in the Group’s Code of Conduct and other  
standards applied by the Group’s business segments.  
Prevention of competition law infringement  
A Group policy aimed at ensuring compliance with, and preventing  
infringement of, competition law has been in place since 2014 and  
is a follow-up to the various measures previously implemented by  
the business segments. Its deployment is based, in particular, on  
management and staff involvement, training courses that include an  
e-learning module and an organization responsible for  
implementing the program.  
The Group has issued a directive for handling incidents of fraud that  
has been widely distributed to employees, and has created an alert  
system that employees can use to report acts including those that  
may constitute fraud.  
Prevention of market abuse and conflict of interests  
The Group implements a policy to prevent market abuse linked to  
trading on the financial markets that is based, in particular, on  
internal ethics rules that are updated on a regular basis and widely  
distributed to employees. In addition, the Group’s senior executives  
and certain employees, in light of their positions, are asked to  
refrain from carrying out any transactions, including hedging  
transactions, on TOTAL shares or ADRs and in collective  
investment plans (FCPE) invested primarily in TOTAL shares (as well  
as derivatives related to such shares) on the day on which the  
Company discloses its periodic results publications (quarterly,  
interim and annual) as well as during the 30 calendar-day period  
preceding such date. An annual campaign specifies the applicable  
“blackout” periods.  
In 2015, a large campaign on fraud risks to raise awareness of all  
Group employees was launched. A guide on “Prevention and Fight  
Against Fraud”, which highlights the different actions conducted  
through the anti-fraud program, was distributed. A map of fraud  
risks in the Group was finalized in late 2015, allowing priority  
actions to be defined for 2016. A guide to the different types of  
fraud risk, with descriptions of the main risks, was distributed in  
2016. Fraud risk analyses are carried out in the subsidiaries. An  
awareness campaign relating to the four major fraud risks was  
launched at the end of 2016, particularly by means of videos widely  
distributed within the Group.  
The deployment of the anti-fraud and fraud prevention program  
relies on the network of fraud risks coordinators within the business  
segments and operational entities.  
To prevent conflicts of interest, each of the Group’s senior  
executives completes an annual statement declaring any conflicts  
of interest to which they may be subject. By completing this  
declaration, each senior executive also agrees to report to their  
supervisor any conflict of interest that he or she has had or of which  
he or she is aware in performing his or her duties. An internal rule  
named “Conflicts of Interests”, published in 2015, reminds all  
employees of their obligation to report to their supervisor any  
situation that might give rise to a conflict of interests.  
Prevention of corruption risks  
General Management constantly reiterates the principle of zero  
tolerance with regard to corruption. The Corruption Prevention  
Policy was updated in 2016, thus reaffirming the Group’s  
commitment to the matter. Internal rules have been published since  
2011 in this area. They cover various areas where particular risks of  
exposure to corruption may exist (business partnerships,  
representatives dealing with public officials, procurement and sales,  
donations, acquisitions, joint ventures, human resources, gifts and  
invitations, etc.) in an effort to detect, assess and address risks at a  
very early stage through an appropriate due diligence process.  
4.3.2. Internal control procedures related  
to the preparation and processing  
of accounting and financial information  
To support this program, awareness campaigns aimed at all  
employees are conducted and training is regularly given to those in  
positions with the greatest risk of exposure. For more information,  
refer to point 3.7 of chapter 7.  
Accounting information  
The Group’s Accounting Department, which reports to the Group’s  
Chief Financial Officer, draws up the Group’s Consolidated Financial  
Statements according to IFRS standards based on the reporting  
packages prepared quarterly by the consolidated entities, as well  
as the statutory financial statements of TOTAL S.A. as parent  
company and those of certain French entities. Each quarter, the  
Consolidated Financial Statements and statutory financial  
statements of TOTAL S.A. are reviewed by the Audit Committee  
and the Board of Directors.  
In addition, more than 370 Compliance Officers have been  
appointed and trained within the business segments and  
operational entities. Their role is to ensure that the program is  
implemented at the local level.  
Finally, under the settlements reached in 2013 between TOTAL,  
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S.  
Department of Justice, an independent monitor had been  
appointed for three years to conduct a review of anti-corruption  
compliance and related internal control procedures implemented by  
the Group and to recommend improvements, where necessary. In  
July 2016, the monitor submitted his third and final report, in which  
he certified that TOTAL had devised and implemented an  
appropriate compliance program. As a result of this certification, the  
U.S. authorities concluded, after having reviewed the monitor’s  
report, that TOTAL had fulfilled all of its obligations, thus bringing an  
end to the monitoring process. As a result, a court in the State of  
Virginia granted a motion to dismiss on November 9, 2016, thereby  
terminating the procedure directed at the Company, which can no  
The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared based on the  
following principles:

end, the interpretation of accounting standards applicable to the  
Consolidated Financial Statements is centralized by the Group’s  
Accounting Department, which also distributes these standards  
through formal procedures and an internal financial reporting  
manual. The department monitors the effective implementation of  
these standards through periodic formal communication with  
managers of the business segments; and

The strategic outlook published by the Group is prepared, in  
particular, according to the long-term plans drawn up at the

Audit Committee.  
Internal control of accounting information is mainly focused around  
the following areas:  
Disclosure control  
a monthly financial report is formalized by Group and business  
segment control panels. This report and the Consolidated  
Financial Statements use the same framework and standards. In  
addition, the quarterly closing schedule is the same for preparing  
the Consolidated Financial Statements and financial reporting;  
a detailed analysis of differences as part of the quarterly  
reconciliation between the Consolidated Financial Statements  
and financial reporting is supervised by the Accounting  
and Budget-Controlling Divisions, which are part of  
the Finance Division;  
a detailed analysis of differences between actual amounts and  
the yearly budget established on a monthly basis is realized at  
each level of the organization;  
an annual reconciliation between the parent company financial  
statements and the financial statements based on IFRS  
standards is performed by entity;  
The external communication of material information concerning the  
Group’s performance is prepared for shareholders, financial  
analysts, business partners, regulators, government entities and  
other stakeholders as part of formal internal procedures, including  
in particular disclosure controls and procedures. The aim of these  
procedures is to confirm the quality and accuracy of external  
communications intended for financial markets.  
The Disclosure Committee ensures that these procedures are  
followed and meets before press releases on results are submitted  
to the Audit Committee and Board of Directors.  
In addition, a specific process is in place for reporting any  
information related to the Group’s accounting procedures, internal  
control and auditing. This process is available to any shareholder,  
employee or third party.  
periodic controls are designed to ensure the reliability of  
accounting information and mainly concern the processes for  
preparing aggregated financial items;  
a regular process for the signature of representation letters is  
deployed at each level of the organization; and  
The Group’s General Management is responsible for implementing  
and assessing the internal control system for financial disclosure. In  
this context, the implementation of the Group’s internal control  
framework, based on the various components of the COSO  
framework, is assessed internally at regular intervals within the  
Group’s main entities.  
the Disclosure Committee ensures the application of the  
procedures in place.  
Pursuant to the requirements introduced by Section 302 of the  
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and  
the Chief Financial Officer of the Company have conducted, with  
the assistance of members of several departments of the Group  
(e.g., Legal, Audit & Internal Control and Corporate  
Communications), an evaluation of the effectiveness of the  
disclosure controls and procedures, over the period covered by the  
annual report on Form 20-F. For fiscal year 2016, the Chairman and  
Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded  
that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective.  
Because of the important contribution of the equity affiliates to the  
Group’s aggregated financial items, an annual review of the control  
on these companies’ financial statements is implemented based on  
a detailed questionnaire completed by each entity. This system is  
integrated into the Group’s internal control framework.  
Other financial information  
Proved oil and gas reserves are evaluated annually by the relevant  
entities. They are reviewed by the Reserves Committee, approved  
by Exploration & Production’s senior management and then  
validated by the Group’s General Management. They are also  
presented to the Audit Committee each year.  
The statutory auditors also perform those internal control audits  
that they deem necessary as part of their mission to certify the  
Financial Statements.

have not been associated with a bankruptcy, receivership or

or disqualified, as stipulated in item 14.1 of Annex I of EC  
Regulation No. 809/2004 of April 29, 2004.  
The Board of Directors, at its meeting on February 8, 2017, based  
on the proposals of the Governance and Ethics Committee, thus  
noted that Mr. Desmarais, Jr could not be considered as  
independent as of December 31, 2016.  
Concerning the independence of Ms. Kux and Mr. Lemierre, the Board  
of Directors, at its meeting on February 8, 2017, based on the proposals  
of the Governance and Ethics Committee, confirmed that the  
independence analysis carried out in 2016 continues to be relevant.

.1.3. Director independence  
At its meeting on February 8, 2017, the Board of Directors, on the  
recommendation of the Governance and Ethics Committee,  
reviewed the independence of the Company’s directors as of  
December 31, 2016. At the Committee’s proposal, the Board  
considered that, pursuant to the AFEP-MEDEF Code, a director is  
independent when “he or she has no relationship of any kind with  
the company, its group or its management, that may compromise  
the exercise of his or her freedom of judgment”.  
Accordingly, Mses. Barbizet, Coisne-Roquette, Idrac, van der  
Hoeven and Kux and Messrs. Artus, Lamarche and Lemierre were  
deemed to be independent directors.  
The percentage of independent directors on the Board based on its  
composition as of December 31, 2016 was 80%(1)  
.
For each director, this assessment relies on the independence  
criteria set forth in point 8.5 of the AFEP-MEDEF Code, revised in  
November 2016, as described below:  
The rate of independence of the Board of Directors is higher than  
that recommended by the AFEP-MEDEF Code, which specifies that  
at least half of the members of the Board in widely-held companies  
with no controlling shareholders must be independent.  
not to be an employee or executive director of the Company, or  
an employee, executive director or director of its parent company  
or of a company consolidated by its parent company, and not  
having been in such a position for the previous five years;  
not to be an executive director of a company in which the  
Company holds a directorship, directly or indirectly, or in which  
an employee appointed as such or an executive director of the  
Company (currently in office or having held such office for less  
than five years) is a director;  
1.1.4. Diversity policy of the Board of Directors  
The Board of Directors places a great deal of importance on its  
composition and the composition of its Committees. In particular, it  
relies on the work of the Governance and Ethics Committee, which  
reviews annually and proposes, as circumstances may require,  
desirable changes to the composition of the Board of Directors and  
Committees based on the Group’s strategy.  
not to be a significant customer, supplier, investment banker or  
commercial banker of the Company or Group or for which the  
Company or the Group represents a material part of their  
business (the assessment of the materiality or non-materiality of  
the relationship must be discussed by the Board and the  
quantitative and qualitative criteria on which this assessment was  
based (continuity, economic dependence, exclusivity, etc.) must  
be explained in the annual report;  
not to be related by close family ties to a director of the Company;  
not to have been a statutory auditor of the Company within the  
previous five years; and  
not to have been a director of the Company for more than 12  
years. Loss of the status of independent director occurs on the  
date at which this period of 12 years is reached.  
The Governance and Ethics Committee conducts its work within  
the framework of a formal procedure so as to ensure that the  
directors’ fields of speciality are complementary and that their  
profiles are diverse, to maintain an overall proportion of  
independent members that is appropriate to the Company’s  
governance structure and shareholder base, to allow for a balanced  
representation of men and women on the Board, and to promote  
an appropriate representation of directors of different nationalities.  
As part of an effort that began several years ago, the composition of  
the Board of Directors has changed significantly since 2010 to achieve  
better gender balance and an openness to more international profiles.  
As of February 8, 2017, the Board of Directors had, among its  
twelve members, five non-French members, as well as six male  
directors and six female directors.  
The AFEP-MEDEF Code stipulates that non-executive directors  
cannot be considered independent if they receive variable  
compensation in cash or in the form of shares or any other  
compensation linked to the performance of the Company or Group.  
The director(s) representing employees appointed in accordance  
with Article L. 225-27-1 of the French Commercial Code are not  
taken into account to apply provisions on the balanced  
representation of men and women on the Board. Therefore, the  
proportion of women on the Board was 54.5% as of December 31,  
2016 (six women out of eleven directors).  
It also stipulates that directors representing major shareholders of  
the corporation or its parent company may be considered as being  
independent provided that these shareholders do not take part in  
control of the corporation. Nevertheless, beyond a 10% holding of  
stock or 10% of the voting rights, the Board, upon a report from the  
nominations committee, should systematically review the qualification  
of a director as independent in the light of the make-up of the  
corporation’s capital and the existence of a potential conflict of interest.  
The 40% proportion of directors from each gender has thus been  
reached since the Shareholders’ Meeting held on May 24, 2016 (six  
women and five men over eleven directors), by early application of  
the legal provisions providing for the same 40% threshold  
applicable as from January 1, 2017.  
With regard to the criterion of 12 years of service, the Board of  
Directors, at its meeting on February 10, 2016, noted that as of  
December 31, 2015, Mr. Desmarais, Jr was disqualified from being  
considered as independent within the meaning of the AFEP-MEDEF  
Code, because he had served on the Board for more than 12 years.  
1.1.5. Training of directors  
Directors may ask to receive training in the specifics of the  
Company, its businesses and its business sector, as well as any  
training that may help them perform their duties as directors.  
(1) Excluding the director representing employee shareholders and the director representing employees, in accordance with the recommendations of the AFEP-MEDEF Code (point 8.3).

The director representing employees also receives 20 hours of  
training per year, which covers in-house training at the Company  
and/or training in economics offered by an outside company  
chosen by the director, after the Board Secretary has accepted the  
company and the training program.  
Appointment of Mr. Mark Cutifani and Mr. Carlos Tavares  
At its meeting of February 8, 2017, and further to a proposal by the  
Governance and Ethics Committee, the Board of Directors decided  
to submit to the same Shareholders’ Meeting the appointment of  
Mr. Mark Cutifani and Mr. Carlos Tavares as directors for a three-  
year term to expire at the end of the Shareholders’ Meeting to be  
held in 2020 to approve the 2019 financial statements.  
Since 2013, the Board of Directors has met each year at a Group  
site. In October 2016, the Board of Directors met in Scotland in the  
West of Shetland area at the Laggan project site. Meetings of the  
Board held at sites contribute to the integration of new directors.  
Mr. Mark Cutifani, of Australian nationality, Chief Executive of the  
Anglo-American Plc. company, will, in particular, bring to the Board  
his knowledge of industry and raw-material cyclical economy, Mark  
Cutifani having in addition a professional experience in several  
countries where the Group is developing (Australia, South Africa,  
Brazil, Canada, UK).

.1.6. Appointment and renewal of directorships  
proposed to the Shareholders’ Meeting of  
May 26, 2017  
Mr. Carlos Tavares, of Portuguese nationality, Chairman of the  
Management Board of the company Peugeot S.A., will, in particular,  
bring to the Board his knowledge of the industrial world and the  
inland transport sector, downstream from the oil and gas sector.  
Renewal of the directorship of Mses. Patricia Barbizet  
and Marie-Christine Coisne-Roquette  
Directorships of Mses. Patricia Barbizet, Marie-Christine Coisne-  
Roquette, Barbara Kux and of Mr. Paul Desmarais, jr. will expire at  
the end of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting of May 26, 2017. Ms.  
Barbara Kux and Mr. Paul Desmarais, jr. have not requested the  
renewal of their directorship.  
The Board of Directors considered that Mr. Mark Cutifani and  
Mr. Carlos Tavares could be deemed to be independent following  
an assessment based on the independence criteria set forth in the  
AFEP-MEDEF Code.  
As a result, at its meeting of February 8, 2017, and further to a  
proposal by the Governance and Ethics Committee, the Board of  
Directors decided to submit to the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting of  
May 26, 2017 the renewal of the directorship of Mses. Patricia  
Barbizet and Marie-Christine Coisne-Roquette for a three-year term  
to expire at the end of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting held in  
Following the Shareholders’ Meeting of May 26, 2017, if the  
proposed resolutions are approved, the Board of Directors will have  
twelve members (as previously), of which five would be non-French  
nationals. The proportion of directors from each gender would be  
higher than 40% in accordance with the provisions of Article  
L. 225-18-1 of the French Commercial Code (five women and six  
2020 to approve the 2019 financial statements.  
men over eleven directors)(1)  
.
1.2. Practices of the Board of Directors  
1
.2.1. Governance structure  
done by the Governance and Ethics Committee and in the best  
interests of the Company. The Board of Directors deemed that a  
unified Management Form was most appropriate to the Group’s  
organization, modus operandi and business, and to the specificities  
of the oil and gas sector. In its decision, the Board in particular noted  
the advantage for the Group of having a unified management in  
strategic negotiations with governments and the Group’s partners.  
Combination of the management positions  
At its meeting on December 16, 2015, the Board of Directors  
decided to reunify the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive  
Officer of TOTAL S.A. as of December 19, 2015. As a result, since  
that date, Mr. Pouyanné has held the position of Chairman and  
Chief Executive Officer of TOTAL S.A.  
The Board also wanted the Group’s governance structure to ensure  
a balanced distribution of powers. To this end, at its meeting on  
December 16, 2015, the Board amended the provisions of its Rules  
of Procedure to provide for the appointment of a Lead Independent  
Director in case of the combination of the positions of Chairman  
of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. The Lead  
Independent Director’s duties, resources and rights are described  
in the Rules of Procedure of the Board of Directors.  
Following the death of TOTAL’s former Chairman and Chief Executive  
Officer, Mr. de Margerie, the Board of Directors decided, at its meeting  
on October 22, 2014, to separate the functions of Chairman and  
Chief Executive Officer in order to best ensure the transition of the  
General Management. The Board of Directors therefore appointed  
Mr. Pouyanné as Chief Executive Officer for a term of office expiring  
at the end of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting called in 2017 to approve  
the 2016 financial statements , and Mr. Desmarest as Chairman of the  
Board of Directors for a term of office expiring on December 18, 2015,  
in accordance with the age limit set out in the bylaws. It was  
announced that, on that date, the functions of Chairman and Chief  
Executive Officer of TOTAL S.A. would be combined.  
(2)  
The balance of powers within the Company’s bodies is also  
ensured by the composition of the Board of Directors and that of its  
four Committees, particularly given the high proportion of members  
who are independent directors. It is further ensured by the directors’  
full involvement in the work of the Board and the Committees, and  
by their diverse profiles, skills and expertise (refer to point 1.1 above).  
The decision to reunify the positions of Chairman of the Board of  
Directors and Chief Executive Officer was made further to work  
(
(
1) Excluding the director representing employees, in accordance with Article L.225-27-1 of the French Commercial Code.  
2) The Board of Directors of December 16, 2015 decided to prorogate the term of this office to the end of the 2018 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, date of expiry of the term of office of  
Mr. Pouyanné as Director.

Composition and practices of the Board of Directors  
In addition, the Board’s Rules of Procedure provide that investments  
and divestments considered by the Group exceeding 3% of equity  
must be approved by the Board, which is also informed of any  
significant events related to the Company’s operations, particularly  
investments and divestments in amounts exceeding 1% of equity.  
1.2.2. Working procedures of the Board of Directors  
The working procedures of the Board of Directors are set out in its  
Rules of Procedure, which specify the mission of the Board of Directors  
and the rules related to the organization of its work. The Board’s  
Rules of Procedure also specify the obligations of each director, as well  
as the role and powers of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer.  
Finally, the Company’s bylaws also offer the necessary guarantees  
to ensure compliance with best governance practices under a unified  
Management Form. In particular, they stipulate that a Board meeting  
may be convened by any means, including verbally, and at short notice  
in case of urgency, by the Chairman, a Vice Chairman, or by a third  
of its members, at any time and as often as required to ensure the best  
interests of the Company. The Rules of Procedure of the Board of  
Directors also state that each director must notify the Board of Directors  
of any existing or potential conflict of interest with the Company or any  
Group company and must refrain from participating in any vote related  
to the corresponding resolution as well as in any discussion  
preceding such vote.  
Mr. Charles Paris de Bollardière has served as Secretary of the  
Board of Directors since his appointment by the Board of Directors  
on September 15, 2009.  
Since November 4, 2014, the date of the first appointment of the  
director representing employees on the Board of Directors, a member  
of the Central Works Council attends Board meetings in an advisory  
capacity, pursuant to Article L. 2323-65 of the French Labor Code.  
The Rules of Procedure of the Board of Directors are reviewed on a  
regular basis to adapt them to changes in governance rules and  
practices. In 2014, changes were made to include, in particular,  
new provisions relating to information of the Board of Directors in  
the event of new directorships being assumed by the directors or  
changes in existing directorships, together with a reminder of the  
obligations of confidentiality inherent to the work of the Board.  
In December 2015, changes were made to provide for the appointment  
of a Lead Independent Director in the event of the unification of the  
Management Form and to define his or her duties.  
Lead Independent Director  
At its meeting on December 16, 2015, the Board of Directors appointed  
Ms. Barbizet as Lead Independent Director as of December 19, 2015.  
Pursuant to the provisions of the Rules of Procedure of the Board  
of Directors, she therefore chairs the Governance and Ethics Committee.  
The duties of the Lead Independent Director are described in detail  
in the Rules of Procedure of the Board of Directors, the full version  
of which is provided in point 1.2.2 below.  
The text of the latest unabridged version of the Rules of Procedure  
of the Board of Directors, as approved by the Board of Directors at  
its meeting on December 16, 2015, is provided below. It is also  
available on the Company’s website under “Our Group/Governance”.  
The Board of Directors of TOTAL S.A.(1) approved the following Rules of Procedure.  
1. ROLE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS  
The Board of Directors is a collegial body that determines the strategic direction of the Company and supervises the implementation of this  
vision. With the exception of the powers and authority expressly reserved for shareholders and within the limits of the Company’s legal  
purpose, the Board may address any issue related to the Company’s operation and make any decision concerning the matters falling within  
its purview. Within this framework, the Board’s duties and responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:  
appointing the executive directors(2) and supervising the handling of their responsibilities;  
defining the Company’s strategic orientation and, more generally, that of the Group;  
approving investments or divestments being considered by the Group that exceed 3% of shareholders’ equity;  
reviewing information on significant events related to the Company’s operations, in particular for investments and divestments involving  
amounts exceeding 1% of shareholders’ equity;  
conducting any audits and investigations it deems appropriate. In particular, the Board, with the assistance of the Audit Committee, ensures that:  
-
-
-
-
authority has been properly defined and that the various corporate bodies of the Company make proper use of their powers and responsibilities,  
no individual is authorized to commit to pay or to make payments, on behalf of the Company, without proper supervision and control,  
the internal control function operates properly and the statutory auditors are able to perform their mission satisfactorily, and  
the Committees it has created duly perform their responsibilities;  
ensuring the quality of the information provided to shareholders and financial markets through the financial statements that it approves as  
well as the annual reports, or when major transactions are conducted;  
convening and setting the agenda for Shareholders’ Meetings or meetings of bond holders;  
preparing on an annual basis the list of directors it deems to be independent according to generally accepted corporate governance criteria; and  
appointing a Lead Independent Director under the conditions set out in article 7, when the Chairman of the Board of Directors is also the  
Chief Executive Officer pursuant to a decision by the Board of Directors.  
(
1) TOTAL S.A. is referred to in these Rules of Procedure as the “Company” and collectively with all its direct and indirect subsidiaries as the “Group”.  
(2) The term “executive director” refers to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, if the Chairman of the Board of Directors is also responsible for the management of the Company;  
the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer, if the two roles are carried out separately; and, where applicable, any Deputy Chief Executive Officers or Chief  
Operating Officers, depending on the organizational structure adopted by the Board of Directors.

2. OBLIGATIONS OF THE DIRECTORS OF TOTAL S.A.  
Before accepting a directorship, all candidates receive a copy of TOTAL S.A.’s bylaws and these rules of procedure. They must ensure that  
they have broad knowledge of the general and particular obligations related to their duty, especially the laws and regulations governing  
directorships in French limited liability companies (sociétés anonymes) whose shares are listed in one or several regulated markets. They must  
also ensure that they are familiar with the guidelines set out in the Corporate Governance Code to which the Company refers.  
Accepting a directorship creates an obligation to comply with applicable regulations relating in particular to the functioning of the Board of  
Directors, and with the ethical rules of professional conduct for directors as described in the Corporate Governance Code to which the  
Company refers. It also creates an obligation to comply with these rules of procedure and to uphold the Group’s values as described in its  
Code of Conduct.  
When directors participate in and vote at meetings of the Board of Directors, they are required to represent all of the Company’s  
shareholders and to act in the interest of the Company as a whole.  
2.1. INDEPENDENCE OF JUDGMENT  
Directors undertake to maintain, in all circumstances, the independence of their analysis, judgment, decision-making and actions as well as  
not to be unduly influenced, directly or indirectly, by other directors, particular groups of shareholders, creditors, suppliers or, more generally,  
any third party.  
2.2. OTHER DIRECTORSHIPS OR FUNCTIONS  
Directors must keep the Board of Directors informed of any position they hold on the management team, Board of Directors or Supervisory  
Board of any other company, whether French or foreign, listed or unlisted. This includes any positions as a non-voting member (censeur) of a  
board. To this end, directors expressly undertake to promptly notify the Chairman of the Board of Directors, and the Lead Independent  
Director if one has been appointed, of any changes to the positions held, for any reason, whether appointment, resignation, termination or  
non-renewal.  
2.3. PARTICIPATION IN THE BOARD’S WORK  
Directors undertake to devote the amount of time required to duly consider the information they are given and otherwise prepare for meetings  
of the Board of Directors and of the Committees of the Board of Directors on which they sit. They may request from the executive directors  
any additional information they deem necessary or useful to their duties. If they consider it necessary, they may request training on the Company’s  
specificities, businesses and industry sector, and any other training that may be of use to the effective exercise of their duties as directors.  
Unless unable, in which case the Chairman of the Board shall be provided with advance notice, directors are to attend all meetings of the  
Board of Directors, meetings of Committees of the Board of Directors on which they serve and Shareholders’ Meetings.  
The Chairman of the Board ensures that directors receive all relevant information concerning the Company, including that of a negative  
nature, particularly analyst reports, press releases and the most important media articles.  
2.4. CONFIDENTIALITY  
Directors and any other person who attends all or part of any meeting of the Board of Directors or its Committees are under the strict  
obligation not to disclose any details of the proceedings.  
All documents reviewed at meetings of the Board of Directors, as well as information conveyed prior to or during the meetings, are strictly  
confidential.  
With respect to all non-public information acquired during the exercise of their functions, directors are bound by professional secrecy not to divulge  
such information to employees of the Group or to outside parties. This obligation goes beyond the mere duty of discretion provided for by law.  
Directors must not use confidential information obtained prior to or during meetings for their own personal benefit or for the benefit of  
anyone else, for whatever reason. They must take all necessary steps to ensure that the information remains confidential. Confidentiality and  
privacy are lifted when such information is made publicly available by the Company.  
2.5. DUTY OF LOYALTY  
Directors must not take advantage of their office or duties to gain, for themselves or a third party, any monetary or non-monetary benefit.  
They must notify the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Lead Independent Director, if one has been appointed, of any existing or  
potential conflict of interest with the Company or any Group company and they must refrain from participating in the vote relating to the  
corresponding resolution as well as in any discussion preceding such vote.  
Directors must inform the Board of Directors of their participation in any transaction that directly involves the Company, or any Group  
company, before such transaction is finalized.  
Directors must not assume personal responsibilities in companies or businesses having activities in competition with those of the Company  
or any Group company without first having informed the Board of Directors.  
Directors undertake not to seek or accept from the Company, or from companies directly or indirectly connected to the Company, any  
advantages liable to be considered as being of a nature that may compromise their independence.

2.6. DUTY OF EXPRESSION  
Directors undertake to clearly express their opposition if they deem a decision being considered by the Board of Directors is contrary to the

2.7. TRANSACTIONS IN THE COMPANY’S SECURITIES AND STOCK EXCHANGE RULES  
While in office, directors are required to hold the minimum number of registered shares of the Company as set by the bylaws.

2
. Directors shall refrain from directly or indirectly engaging in (or recommending engagement in) transactions involving the financial  
instruments (shares, ADRs or any other securities related to such financial instruments) of the Company or its listed subsidiaries, or any  
listed financial instruments for which the director has insider information.  
Insider information is specific information that has not yet been made public and that directly or indirectly concerns one or more issuers of  
financial instruments or one or more financial instruments and which, if it were made public, could have a significant impact on the price of  
the financial instruments concerned or on the price of financial instruments related to them.

calendar days preceding the publication by the Company of its periodic results (quarterly, half-year or annual) as well as on the day of any  
such announcement.  
4. Moreover, directors shall comply, where applicable, with the provisions of Article L. 255-197-1 of the French Commercial Code, which  
stipulates that free shares may not be sold:  
during the ten trading days preceding and the three trading days following the date on which the Consolidated Financial Statements or,  
failing that, the annual financial statements, are made public; and  
during the period from the date on which the Company’s corporate bodies become aware of information that, if it were made public,  
could have a significant impact on the Company’s share price, until ten trading days after such information is made public.  
5
. Directors are prohibited from carrying out transactions on any financial instruments related to the Company’s share (Paris option market  
MONEP), warrants, exchangeable bonds, etc.) and from buying on margin or short selling such financial instruments.

Company share subscription or purchase options;  
rights to Company shares that may be awarded free of charge; and  
Company shares obtained from the exercise of options or granted free of charge.

The Chairman ensures that directors receive, in a timely manner and in a clear and appropriate format, the information they need to

government authorities and major partners, both at a national and international level.  
The Chairman is regularly informed by the Chief Executive Officer of significant events and situations relating to the Group, particularly with  
regard to strategy, organization, monthly financial reporting, major investment and divestment projects and key financial transactions.

Once a year, the Board of Directors discusses its practices. It also

intervals of up to three years. This evaluation is carried out under  
the supervision of the Lead Independent Director, if one has been  
appointed, or under the supervision of the Governance and Ethics  
Committee with the help of an outside consultant. When a Lead  
Independent Director is appointed, he or she oversees this  
evaluation process and reports on it to the Board of Directors.

Composition and practices of the Board of Directors  
At its meeting on February 8, 2017, the Board of Directors  
discussed its practices on the basis of a formal self-assessment  
carried out in the form of a detailed questionnaire. The evaluation  
was carried out under the supervision of Ms. Barbizet, Lead  
Independent Director, in January 2017. The responses given by the  
directors were then presented to the Governance and Ethics  
Committee to be reviewed and summarized. This summary was  
then discussed by the Board of Directors. This process made it  
possible to confirm the quality of each director’s contribution to the  
work of the Board and its Committees.  
1.2.9. Report of the Lead Independent Director on  
her mandate  
During the Board meeting of February 8, 2017, Ms. Barbizet  
presented a report of her mandate as Lead Independent Director.  
The Lead Independent Director indicated that she exercised her  
duties since her appointment on December 15, 2016 as follows:  
– contact with the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer: the Lead  
Independent Director is a privileged interlocutor of the Chairman  
and Chief Executive Officer with respect to significant matters  
concerning the Group’s business and preparing meetings of the  
Board of Directors;  
This formal evaluation showed a positive opinion of the practices  
of the Board of Directors and the Committees. In particular, it was  
noted that the suggestions for improvement made by the directors  
in recent years had generally been taken into account. During the  
Board of Directors’ meetings, some of which were held at certain  
of the Group’s sites, special attention was paid at the start of each  
meeting to the review of the main points to be examined by the  
Board (financial statements, large-scale investment and divestment  
projects, etc.).  
assessment of the Board’s practices: the Lead Independent  
Director conducted the assessment of the Board’s practices  
(refer to point 1.2.8, above);  
avoidance of conflicts of interest: the Lead Independent Director  
put in place the diligence intended to identify and analyze  
potential situations of conflicts of interest. She brought to the  
attention of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer potential  
situations of conflict of interest that had been identified. In  
September 2016, a director thus consulted the Lead  
Furthermore, the main suggestions for improving the Board made  
by the directors during their January 2016 self-assessment have  
been put in place:  
Independent Director concerning a potential conflict of interest  
that could arise due to the director’s potential participation on a  
committee in charge of strategically advising the board of  
directors of a company of the energy sector. Following this  
consultation, this director decided on September 22, 2016 to not  
accept the offer to participate in the committee. The Lead  
Independent Director also indicated to the Board that the  
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer has informed the  
monitoring risks at the Board’s level: a presentation of the  
Group’s risk map was made to the Board during its meeting of  
April 26, 2016, and such presentation is to take place annually;  
evolution of the Board’s composition: proposals by the  
Governance and Ethics Committee to the Board of Directors of  
February 8, 2017 met the directors’ expectations;  
Governance and Ethics Committee that he had been solicited so  
that his appointment as director of Cap Gemini S.A. would be  
proposed to the next shareholders meeting of that company.  
Considering this company’s activities in advanced technologies  
that could have an important role in the evolution of the Group’s  
businesses, the Committee recommended to the Board that it  
grants its authorization. The Board of Directors authorized the  
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer to accept this proposal;  
– monitoring of the Board’s practices: the Lead Independent Director  
held a meeting on December 15, 2016 of the non-executive and  
non-salaried directors. She presented a summary of this meeting  
to the Board of Directors. The specific issues discussed during  
this meeting were the following: understanding internal organization  
and knowledge of senior executives in order to, notably, make  
succession plans; analysis of extra-financial risks, in particular  
geopolitical risks; and ex post analysis of implemented projects;  
relations with shareholders: the Chairman and Chief Executive  
Officer and the Lead Independent Director are the priviledged  
points of contacts for shareholders concerning accountability of  
the Board. When the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is  
solicited in this area by a shareholder, he may consult with the  
Lead Independent Director before responding. When the Lead  
Independent Director is solicited in this area by a shareholder,  
she informs the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and gives  
her opinion so that the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer can  
give appropriate response to the request. The Chairman and  
Chief Executive Officer informs the Lead Independent Director of  
the response. Thus, for example, the Lead Independent Director  
was informed in January 2016 of a question of a shareholder of  
the Company concerning the high number of mandates exercised  
by a director and the answer that was given by the Company;  
independent directors’ meeting: held on December 15, 2016 at  
the initiative of the Lead Independent Director; and  
secured platform to access the Board’s documents: this platform  
was put in place in September 2016.  
This self-assessment conducted in January 2017 highlighted the  
directors’ satisfaction with the practices of the Board of Directors,  
both in terms of form and substance, and, in particular, concerning  
freedom of expression, an appropriate level of dialogue, the collegiality  
of decision-making and the relevance of subjects addressed.  
The directors appreciated notably the pace and agenda of meetings,  
the possibility for informal exchanges during lunches and meetings  
held at Group sites, as well as the quality of relations with the Lead  
Independent Director. The Board of Directors made the following  
suggestions that could further improve its practices:  
understanding of the Group’s organization and knowledge  
of its executive officers;  
analysis of extra-financial risks, in particular geopolitical risks,  
relating to significant investment projects submitted to the Board;  
ex post analysis of major investment decisions;  
new director induction program; and  
facilitation of access to the electronic document platform of the  
Board of Directors.  
In addition, in compliance with Article 7.2.6. of the Board Rules of  
Procedures, the Lead Independent Director held on December 15,  
2
salaried positions on the Board of Directors. During this meeting,  
which was reported to the Board of Directors, directors also  
discussed the Board of Directors’ practices.

relations with other stakeholders: certain suppliers of the Group  
contacted the Lead Independent Director concerning various

various relevant services of the Company after the Lead  
Independent Director had been informed on the matters.  
1.3. Statement regarding corporate governance  
For many years, TOTAL has taken an active approach to corporate  
governance and at its meeting on November 4, 2008, the Board of  
Directors decided to refer to the AFEP-MEDEF Code of Corporate  
Governance for publicly traded companies.  
establishment of a High Committee for corporate governance, an  
independent structure in charge of monitoring implementation of  
the Code. It was also revised in November 2015 to introduce the  
principle of consultation of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting in  
case of the sale of at least one half of the Company’s assets and to  
bring the Code in line with new laws regarding supplementary  
pensions of executive directors. The Code was also revised in  
November 2016 in order to clarify and complete certain  
The AFEP-MEDEF Code is available on the Internet websites of the  
AFEP and the MEDEF.  
The AFEP-MEDEF Code was revised in June 2013 to introduce  
new changes regarding, in particular, a consultation procedure in  
which shareholders can express an opinion on the individual  
compensation of the executive directors (say on pay), as well as the  
recommendations, in particular on the independence of directors,  
CSR and the compensation of the executive directors.  
Pursuant to Article L. 225-37 of the French Commercial Code, the following table sets forth the sole recommendation made in the AFEP-  
MEDEF Code that the Company has opted not to follow and the reasons for such decision.  
Recommendations not followed  
Explanation – Practice followed by TOTAL  
Supplementary pension plan (point 24.6.2 of the Code)  
It appeared justified not to deprive the relevant beneficiaries of the  
benefit of the pension commitments made by the Company in the  
particular cases of the disability or departure of a beneficiary over  
Supplementary pension schemes with defined benefits must be  
subject to the condition that the beneficiary must be a director or  
employee of the Company when claiming his or her pension  
rights pursuant to the applicable rules.  
55 years of age at the initiative of the Group. In addition, it should  
be noted that the supplementary pension plan set up by the Company  
was declared to URSSAF in 2004, in accordance with Articles  
L. 137-11 and R. 137-16 of the French Social Security Code.  
Compared to the prior fiscal year, the Company’s practices have  
evolved in two areas concerning the recommendations made in the  
AFEP-MEDEF Code. First, a meeting not attended by the executive  
and non-executive directors took place on December 15, 2016.  
The recommendation made in the AFEP-MEDEF Code (point 10.3)  
stating that “It is recommended that a meeting not attended by the  
executive Officers be organized each year” was, therefore, followed.  
Second, concerning the recommendation made in the AFEP-  
MEDEF Code concerning the composition of the Compensation  
Committee that one “director designated by employees should be a  
member”, the Board of Directors approved on February 8, 2017,  
the proposal of the Governance and Ethics Committee to appoint  
Ms. Renata Perycz as a member of the Compensation Committee  
as from the end of the Shareholder Meeting of May 26, 2017.  
Ms. Perycz, thanks to the nature of her salaried duties in the Group,  
will in particular bring to the Compensation Committee her experience  
in Human Resources.

Board members’ compensation  
1. Board members’ compensation  
The conditions applicable to Board members’ compensation are  
defined by the Board of Directors on the proposal of the  
Governance and Ethics Committee, subject to the aggregate  
maximum amount of directors’ fees authorized by the Annual  
Shareholders’ Meeting of May 17, 2013 and set at 1.4 million per  
fiscal year.  
The director representing employee shareholders and the director  
representing employees receive directors’ fees according to the  
same terms and conditions as any other director.  
The table below presents the total compensation (including in-kind  
benefits) due and paid to each executive and non-executive  
director (mandataires sociaux) during the previous two fiscal years  
(Article L. 225-102-1 of the French Commercial Code, 1st and  
2nd paragraphs).  
In 2016, the aggregate amount of directors’ fees due to the  
members of the Board of Directors was 1.1 million, noting that  
there were 12 directors as of December 31, 2016.  
Mr. Marc Blanc, the director representing employees, participates in  
the internal defined contribution pension plan applicable to all  
TOTAL S.A. employees, known as RECOSUP (Régime collectif et  
obligatoire de retraite supplémentaire à cotisations définies),  
governed by Article L. 242-1 of the French Social Security Code.  
The Company’s commitment is limited to its share of the  
contributions paid to the insurance company that manages the  
plan. For fiscal year 2016, this pension plan represented a booked  
expense to TOTAL S.A. in favor of Mr. Blanc of 764.  
The directors’ fees for fiscal year 2016 are allocated according to a  
formula comprised of fixed compensation and variable  
compensation based on fixed amounts per meeting, which makes  
it possible to take into account each director’s actual attendance at  
the meetings of the Board of Directors and its committees, subject  
to the conditions below:  
a fixed annual portion of 20,000 per director(1), except for the  
Chairman of the Audit Committee, for whom the fixed annual  
portion is 30,000, and the other Audit Committee members, for  
whom the fixed annual portion is 25,000;  
Mr. Blanc, who joined the Elf Aquitaine Group in 1980, also  
participates in a supplementary defined benefit pension plan,  
known as CREA, set up and financed by the Company. This plan  
covers former employees of the Elf Aquitaine Group and was  
closed on December 31, 1994. It does not require a presence  
condition within the Group at the time of retirement. The  
commitments made by the Group in favor of Mr. Blanc under this  
plan represent, at December 31, 2016, a gross annual pension,  
payable to his spouse within a limit of 60% in case of death of the  
beneficiary, estimated at 4,877. Nearly the full amount of the  
Group’s commitments under the CREA plan is outsourced to an  
insurance company and the non-outsourced balance is evaluated  
annually and adjusted through a provision in the accounts. The  
amount of these commitments at December 31, 2016 in favor of  
Mr. Blanc is 138.6 thousand. This amount represents the gross  
value of the Group’s commitments to this beneficiary based on the  
gross annual pension estimated as of December 31, 2016, as well  
as a statistical life expectancy of the beneficiary and his spouse.  
an additional fixed annual portion(1) of 15,000 for the Lead  
Independent Director;  
an additional fixed annual portion( of 5,000 for the Chairman  
of the Governance and Ethics Committee and for the Chairman  
of the Compensation Committee;  
1)  
an amount of 5,000 per director for each Board of Directors’  
meeting actually attended;  
an amount of 3,500 per director for each Governance and  
Ethics Committee, Compensation Committee or Strategic  
Committee meeting actually attended;  
an amount of 7,000 per director for each Audit Committee  
meeting actually attended; and  
a premium of 2,000 for travel from outside France to attend a  
Board of Directors’ or Committee meeting.  
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer does not receive directors’  
fees for his work on the Board and Committees of TOTAL S.A.  
During the past two years, the directors currently in office have not  
received any compensation or in-kind benefits from TOTAL S.A. or  
from its controlled companies other than those mentioned in the  
table below.  
The total amount paid to each director is determined after taking  
into consideration the director’s actual presence at each Board of  
Directors’ or Committee meeting and, if appropriate, after prorating  
the amount set for each director such that the overall amount paid  
remains within the maximum limit set by the Shareholders’ Meeting.  
Directors’ fees for each fiscal year are paid following a decision by  
the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Governance and  
Ethics Committee, at the beginning of the following fiscal year.  
Moreover, there is no service contract between a director and  
TOTAL S.A. or any of its controlled companies that provides for the  
grant of benefits under such a contract.

2.1. Compensation of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer due or granted  
for fiscal year 2016  
The compensation policy applicable to the Chairman and Chief  
Executive Officer is reviewed each year by the Board of Directors  
on the proposal of the Compensation Committee. The  
compensation policy for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer  
for fiscal year 2016 was approved by the Board of Directors on  
December 16, 2015, on the proposal of the Compensation  
Committee.  
2.1.1. Fixed and variable annual compensation  
due in 2016  
In accordance with the compensation policy defined by the Board  
of Directors on December 16, 2015, at its meeting on February 8,  
2017 and on a proposal from the Compensation Committee, the  
Board of Directors determined the compensation due to Mr.  
Pouyanné for his duties as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for  
fiscal year 2016. This compensation consists of a base salary (fixed  
portion) of 1,400,000 (higher than in fiscal year 2015 following the  
Board of Directors’ decision to appoint Patrick Pouyanné as  
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TOTAL S.A.) and a variable  
portion (paid in 2017) of 2,339,400 corresponding to 167.10% of  
his fixed compensation.  
Mr. Pouyanné’s compensation consists of a fixed portion, an annual  
variable portion calculated on the basis of predefined criteria and a  
long-term component in the form of performance shares.  
Performance shares are granted under plans that are not specific to  
the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and are structured over a  
five-year period with a three-year vesting period followed by a  
mandatory two-year holding period. The definitive grant of shares is  
subject to a presence condition and performance conditions  
assessed at the end of the three-year vesting period.  
To determine the variable portion of the compensation due to the  
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for fiscal year 2016, at its  
meeting on February 8, 2017, the Board of Directors reviewed the  
level of achievement of the economic parameters based on the  
targets set by the Board of Directors at its meeting on  
December 16, 2015. The Board of Directors also assessed the  
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s personal contribution on the  
basis of the four objective and operational target criteria set during  
its meeting on December 16, 2015.  
Mr. Pouyanné does not receive any multi-year or deferred variable  
compensation or any extraordinary compensation. He does not  
receive directors’ fees as director of TOTAL S.A.  
In addition, the Company is committed to paying Mr. Pouyanné a  
retirement benefit and a severance benefit in the event of forced  
departure related to a change of control or strategy. The Chairman  
and Chief Executive Officer is also entitled to the pension plans in  
place within the Group. In line with the principles of the AFEP-  
MEDEF Code, the benefit accruing from participation in the pension  
plans has been taken into consideration when determining the  
compensation policy applicable to the Chairman and Chief  
Executive Officer for fiscal year 2016. These commitments, which  
are subject to performance conditions, are described in more detail  
in point 2.2 below.

– The safety criterion was assessed based on the achievement of

number of accidental deaths per million hours worked, FIR  
(Fatality Incident Rate), compared with those of four large oil

Compensation of the administration and management bodies

companies(1). The Board of Directors noted that the target of a  
TRIR lower than 1.15 was fully achieved in 2016. It also noted  
that the number of accidental deaths per million hours worked,  
FIR (Fatality Incident Rate), was the best among the panel of  
majors. It therefore set the portion for this criterion at 20% of the  
fixed compensation (of a maximum of 20%).  
Mr. Pouyanné had the use in 2016 of a company car and benefited  
from the life insurance plans and the health care plan described in  
detail in point 2.2 below. These benefits were booked in the amount  
of 58,945 in the Consolidated Financial Statements at  
December 31, 2016.  
For the return on equity (ROE) criterion(2), the Board of Directors  
noted that, in 2016, the ROE was 8.7%, which led the portion for  
this criterion to be set at 17.10% of the fixed compensation for  
fiscal year 2016 (of a maximum of 30%).  
For the net debt-to-equity ratio criterion(3), the Board of Directors  
noted that, in 2016, the Group’s net debt-to-equity ratio is less  
than 30%, which led the portion for this criterion to be set at  
2.1.2. Grant of performance shares in 2016  
At its meeting on July 27, 2016, the Board of Directors, on the  
proposal of the Compensation Committee and pursuant to the  
authorization of the Company’s Combined Shareholders’ Meeting  
of May 24, 2016 (twenty-fourth resolution), decided to grant Mr.  
Pouyanné 60,000 existing shares of the Company (corresponding  
to 0.002% of the share capital) subject to the conditions set out  
below. These shares were granted under a broader share plan  
approved by the Board of Directors on July 27, 2016, relating to  
40% of the fixed compensation for fiscal year 2016 (of a  
maximum of 40%).  
The criterion related to the change in the Group’s adjusted net  
income (ANI) was assessed by comparison with those of the four  
large oil companies(1). The Board of Directors noted that the

The definitive grant of all the shares is subject to the beneficiary’s  
continued presence within the Group during the vesting period and  
to performance conditions as described below.  
The definitive number of shares granted will be based on the  
comparative TSR (Total Shareholder Return) and the annual  
variation in net cash flow per share for fiscal years 2016 to 2018,  
applied as follows:  
Regarding the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s personal  
contribution, the Board of Directors determined that the targets set

dollars over one quarter at the beginning and end of each three-  
year period (Q4 year N vs./Q4 year N-3). The dividend will be  
considered reinvested based on the last market price on the ex-  
dividend date.

Mr. Pouyanné did not benefit from any other components of  
compensation due or granted for fiscal year 2016. No multi-year or  
deferred variable compensation or extraordinary compensation was  
paid to him for fiscal year 2016.

Deutsche Bank. If any of these analysts is unable to publish the results of one or more peers for a given year, it will be replaced, for the year and for the peer(s) in question, in the order listed,  
by an analyst included in the following additional list: Jefferies, HSBC, Société Générale, Goldman Sachs and Citi. The ANIs used will be set according to these analysts’ last publications two  
business days after the publication of the press release announcing the “fourth quarter and annual results” of the last peer.

In addition, the Board of Directors has noted that, pursuant to the  
Board’s Rules of Procedure applicable to all directors, the Chairman  
and Chief Executive Officer is not allowed to hedge the shares of  
the Company or any related financial instruments and has taken  
note of Mr. Pouyanné’s commitment to abstain from such hedging  
operations with regard to the performance shares granted.  
For each of the criteria, the average of the three grant rates  
obtained (for each of the three fiscal years for which the  
performance conditions are assessed) will be rounded to the  
nearest 0.1 whole percent (0.05% being rounded to 0.1%) and  
capped at 100%. Each criterion will have a weight of 50% in the

The grant of performance shares to Mr. Pouyanné is subject to the  
same requirements applicable to the other beneficiaries of the  
performance share plan and were approved by the Board at its  
meeting on July 27, 2016. In particular, these provisions stipulate  
that the shares definitively granted at the end of the three-year  
vesting period will, after confirmation of fulfillment of the presence  
and performance conditions, be automatically recorded as pure  
registered shares on the start date of the two-year holding period  
and will remain non-transferable and unavailable until the end of the  
holding period.  
The number of shares definitively granted, after confirmation of the  
performance conditions, will be rounded to the nearest whole  
number of shares in case of a fractional lot.  
In accordance with the provisions of the French Commercial Code,

(Article L. 225-102-1, paragraph 3, of the French Commercial Code)  
The commitments made to the Chairman and Chief Executive  
Officer regarding pension plans, retirement benefit and severance  
benefit to be paid in the event of forced departure related to a  
change of control or strategy, as well as the life insurance and  
health care benefits set out below, were approved by the Board  
of Directors on December 16, 2015. They were approved by the  
Annual Shareholders’ Meeting of May 24, 2016, in accordance with  
the provisions of Article L. 225-42-1 of the French Commercial Code.  
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer also participates in a  
supplementary defined benefit pension plan, covered by Article  
L. 137-11 of the French Social Security Code, set up and financed  
by the Company and approved by the Board of Directors on  
March 13, 2001, for which management is outsourced to two  
insurance companies effective January 1, 2012. This plan applies to  
all TOTAL S.A. employees whose compensation exceeds eight  
times the annual ceiling for calculating French Social Security  
contributions (PASS), set at 38,616 for 2016 (i.e., 308,928), and  
above which there is no conventional pension plan. To be eligible  
for this supplementary pension plan, participants must have served  
for at least five years, be at least 60 years old and exercised his or  
her rights to retirement from the French Social Security. The  
benefits under this plan are subject to a presence condition under  
which the beneficiary must still be employed at the time of  
retirement. However, the presence condition does not apply if a  
beneficiary aged 55 or older leaves the Company at the Company’s  
initiative or in case of disability.  
It should be noted that Mr. Pouyanné already benefited from all  
these provisions when he was an employee of the Company,  
except for the commitment to pay severance benefits in the event  
of forced departure related to a change of control or strategy. It  
should also be noted that Mr. Pouyanné, who joined the Group on  
January 1, 1997, ended the employment contract that he  
previously had with TOTAL S.A. through his resignation at the time  
of his appointment as Chief Executive Officer on October 22, 2014.  
Pension plans  
The length of service acquired by Mr. Pouyanné as a result of his  
previous salaried duties held at the Group since January 1, 1997  
has been maintained for the benefit of this plan.  
Pursuant to applicable legislation, the Chairman and Chief  
Executive Officer is eligible for the basic French Social Security  
pension and for pension benefits under the ARRCO and AGIRC  
supplementary pension plans.  
The compensation taken into account to calculate the  
supplementary pension is the average gross annual compensation  
He also participates in the internal defined contribution pension  
plan applicable to all TOTAL S.A. employees, known as RECOSUP  
(fixed and variable portion) over the last three years. The amount  
paid under this plan is equal to 1.8% of the portion of the  
compensation falling between 8 and 40 times the PASS and 1%  
for the portion of the compensation falling between 40 and 60  
times the PASS, multiplied by the number of years of service up to  
a maximum of 20 years.  
(Régime collectif et obligatoire de retraite supplémentaire à  
cotisations définies), covered by Article L. 242-1 of the French  
Social Security Code. The Company’s commitment is limited to its  
share of the contribution paid to the insurance company that  
manages the plan. For fiscal year 2016, this pension plan  
represented a booked expense to TOTAL S.A. in favor of the  
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of 2,317.

The sum of the annual supplementary pension plan benefits and  
other pension plan benefits (other than those set up individually and  
on a voluntary basis) may not exceed 45% of the average gross

In the event that this percentage is exceeded, the supplementary

point.  
gross annual pension estimated at 599,320 based on the length  
of service acquired as of December 31, 2016 (i.e., 20 years of  
service), corresponding to 16.03% of Mr. Pouyanné’s gross annual  
compensation consisting of the annual fixed portion for 2016  
(i.e., 1,400,000) and the variable portion paid in 2017 for fiscal  
year 2016 (i.e., 2,339,400).  
Nearly the full amount of TOTAL S.A.’s commitments under these  
supplementary and similar retirement plans (including the retirement  
benefit) is outsourced to insurance companies and the non-  
outsourced balance is evaluated annually and adjusted through a  
provision in the accounts. The amount of these commitments as of  
December 31, 2016 is 16.1 million for the Chairman and Chief  
Executive Officer (16.4 million for the Chairman and Chief  
Executive Officer and the executive and non-executive directors  
covered by these plans). These amounts represent the gross value  
of TOTAL S.A.’s commitments to these beneficiaries based on the  
estimated gross annual pensions as of December 31, 2016 and the  
statistical life expectancy of the beneficiaries.  
The supplementary pension includes a clause whereby 60% of the  
amount will be paid to beneficiaries in the event of death after  
retirement.  
To ensure that the acquisition of additional pension rights under this  
defined-benefit pension plan is subject to performance conditions  
to be defined pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 225-42-1 of  
the French Commercial Code amended by law No. 2015-990 of  
August 6, 2015, on December 15, 2016, the Board of Directors  
noted the existence of the Chief Executive Officer’s pension rights  
under the above-mentioned pension plan, immediately before his  
appointment as Chairman, for the period from January 1, 1997 to  
December 18, 2015.  
The total amount of all the pension plans in which Mr. Pouyanné  
participates represents, at December 31, 2016, a gross annual  
pension estimated at 690,600 based on the length of service  
acquired as of December 31, 2016 (i.e., 20 years of service),  
corresponding to 18.47% of Mr. Pouyanné’s gross annual  
compensation defined above (annual fixed portion for 2016 and  
variable portion paid in 2017 for fiscal year 2016).  
The conditional rights granted for the period from January 1, 1997  
to December 18, 2015 (inclusive), acquired without performance  
conditions, correspond to a replacement rate equal to 34.14% for  
the portion of the base compensation falling between 8 and 40  
times the PASS and a replacement rate of 18.96% for the portion of  
the base compensation falling between 40 and 60 times the PASS.  
Retirement benefit  
The conditional rights granted for the period from December 19,  
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is entitled to a retirement  
benefit equal to those available to eligible members of the Group  
under the French National Collective Bargaining Agreement for the  
Petroleum Industry. This benefit is equal to 25% of the fixed and  
variable annual compensation received during the 12 months  
preceding retirement.  
2015 to December 31, 2016 are subject to the performance  
condition described below and correspond to a maximum  
replacement rate equal to 1.86% for the portion of the base  
compensation falling between 8 and 40 times the PASS and a  
replacement rate equal to 1.04% for the portion of the base  
compensation falling between 40 and 60 times the PASS.  
Pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 225-42-1 of the French  
Commercial Code, receipt of this retirement benefit is contingent  
upon a performance-related condition applicable to the beneficiary,  
which is deemed to be fulfilled if at least two of the following criteria  
are met:  
Pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 225-42-1 of the French  
Commercial Code, the Board of Directors decided to make the  
acquisition of these conditional rights for the period from  
December 19, 2015 to December 31, 2016, subject to a condition  
related to the beneficiary’s performance, which is considered  
fulfilled if the variable portion of the Chairman and Chief Executive  
Officer’s compensation paid in 2017 for fiscal year 2016 reaches  
– the average ROE (return on equity) for the three years preceding  
the year in which the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer retires  
is at least 10%;  
100% of the base salary due for fiscal year 2016. In the event that  
the variable portion does not reach 100% of the base salary, the  
rights granted will be calculated on a prorata basis.  
– the average net debt-to-equity ratio for the three years preceding  
the year in which the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer retires  
is less than or equal to 30%; and  
On February 8, 2017, the Board of Directors noted that the  
specified performance condition was fully met and therefore  
confirmed the acquisition by Mr. Pouyanné of additional pension  
rights mentioned above for the period from December 19, 2015 to  
December 31, 2016.

The Board also noted that Mr. Pouyanné would no longer be able  
to acquire additional pension rights under this plan given the rules  
for determining pension rights set out in the plan and the 20 years  
of service of Mr. Pouyanné as of December 31, 2016.

– an “incapacity, disability, life insurance” plan applicable to all  
employees, partly paid for by the Company, that provides for two  
options in case of death of a married employee: either the

compensation up to 16 times the PASS, corresponding to a  
maximum of 3,138,240 in 2017, plus an additional amount if  
there is a dependent child or children, or the payment of a lump  
sum equal to three times the annual compensation up to 16  
times the PASS, plus a survivor’s pension and education  
allowance;  
The severance benefit will only be paid in the event of a forced  
departure related to a change of control or strategy. It will not be  
due in case of gross negligence or willful misconduct or if the  
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer leaves the Company of his  
own volition, accepts new responsibilities within the Group or may  
claim full retirement benefits within a short time period.  
Pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 225-42-1 of the French

upon a performance-related condition applicable to the beneficiary,  
which is deemed to be fulfilled if at least two of the following criteria  
are met:

Company, applicable to executive directors and senior executives  
whose annual gross compensation is more than 16 times the  
PASS. This contract, signed on October 17, 2002, amended on  
January 28 and December 16, 2015, guarantees the beneficiary  
the payment of a lump sum, in case of death, equal to two years  
of compensation (defined as the gross annual fixed reference  
compensation (base France), which corresponds to 12 times  
the monthly gross fixed compensation paid during the month  
prior to death or sick leave, to which is added the highest amount  
in absolute value of the variable portion received during one of  
the five previous years of activity), which is increased to three years  
in case of accidental death and, in case of accidental permanent  
disability, a lump sum proportional to the degree of disability.  
The death benefit is increased by 15% for each dependent child.  
the average ROE (return on equity) for the three years preceding  
the year in which the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer retires  
is at least 10%;  
the average net debt-to-equity ratio for the three years preceding  
the year in which the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer retires

4. Stock option and free share grants  
4.1. General policy  
In addition to its employee shareholding development policy, TOTAL  
S.A. has implemented a policy to involve employees and senior  
executives in the Group’s future performance which entails granting  
free performance shares each year. TOTAL S.A. may also grant  
stock options, although no plan has been put in place since  
September 14, 2011. These shares are granted under selective  
plans based on a review of individual performance at the time of  
each grant.  
For beneficiaries employed by a non-French company on the grant  
date, the vesting period for free shares may be increased to four  
years, in which case there is no mandatory holding period. Since  
2011, all shares granted to senior executives have been subject to  
performance conditions.  
Stock options  
Stock options have a term of eight years, with a strike price set at  
the average of the closing TOTAL share prices on Euronext Paris  
during the 20 trading days preceding the grant date, without any  
discount. Exercise of the options is subject to a presence condition  
and performance conditions, related to the Group’s return on equity  
The stock option and free share plans offered by TOTAL S.A.  
concern only TOTAL shares and no free shares of the Group’s listed  
subsidiaries or options on them are granted by TOTAL S.A.  
(
ROE), which vary depending on the plan and category of beneficiary.  
All grants are approved by the Board of Directors, on the proposal  
of the Compensation Committee. For each plan, the Compensation  
Committee recommends a list of beneficiaries, the conditions and  
the number of options or shares granted to each beneficiary. The  
Board of Directors then gives final approval for this list and the grant  
conditions.  
All options granted in 2011 have been subject to performance  
conditions. For options granted pursuant to the authorization given  
by the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of May 24, 2016  
(twenty-fifth resolution), the performance conditions will be  
assessed over a minimum period of three consecutive fiscal years.  
For earlier option plans, and subject to the applicable presence and  
performance conditions being met, options may be exercised only  
at the end of an initial two-year period and the shares resulting from  
the exercise may only be disposed of at the end of a second two-  
year period.  
Grant of performance shares  
Grants of free performance shares under selective plans become  
definitive only at the end of a three-year vesting period, subject to  
fulfillment of the applicable presence and performance conditions.  
At the end of the vesting period, and provided that the conditions  
are met, the TOTAL shares are definitively granted to the beneficiaries,  
who must then hold them for at least two years (holding period).  
All shares granted are subject to the presence condition.  
Moreover, for the 2007 to 2011 option plans, the shares resulting  
from the exercise of options by beneficiaries employed by a non-  
French company on the grant date may be disposed of or converted  
to bearer form at the end of the first two-year vesting period.

Executive Officer for fiscal year 2016 is 1,400,000 (higher than in fiscal year 2015

The variable portion of Mr. Pouyanné’s compensation for his duties as Chairman and  
Chief Executive Officer for fiscal year 2016 has been set at 2,339,400,  
corresponding to 167.10% (of a maximum of 180%) of his fixed annual  
compensation based on his performance.  
At its meeting on February 8, 2017, the Board of Directors reviewed the level of  
achievement of the economic parameters based on the targets set by the Board of  
Directors at its meeting on December 16, 2015. The Board of Directors also  
assessed the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s personal contribution on the  
basis of the four objective and operational target criteria set during its meeting on  
December 16, 2015.  
The Board of Directors assessed achievement of the targets set for the economic  
parameters as follows:  
the safety criterion was assessed based on the achievement of an annual TRIR  
Total Recordable Injury Rate) target and the number of accidental deaths  
(
per million hours worked, FIR (Fatality Incident Rate), compared with those of four  
large oil companies(1). The Board of Directors noted that the target of a TRIR lower  
than 1.15 was fully achieved in 2016. It also noted that the number of accidental  
deaths per million hours worked, FIR (Fatality Incident Rate), the best among the  
panel of majors. It therefore set the portion for this criterion at 20% of the fixed  
compensation (of a maximum of 20%);  
for the return on equity (ROE) criterion(2), the Board of Directors noted that, in  
2016, the ROE was 8.7%, which led the portion for this criterion to be set at  
7.10% of the fixed compensation for fiscal year 2016 (of a maximum of 30%);  
1
for the net debt-to-equity ratio criterion(3), the Board of Directors noted that, in  
2
016, the Group’s net debt-to-equity ratio is less than 30%, which led the portion  
for this criterion to be set at 40% of the fixed compensation for fiscal year 2016  
of a maximum of 40%);  
(
(
1) ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, BP and Chevron.  
(2) The Group measures the return on equity as the ratio of adjusted consolidated net income to average adjusted shareholders’ equity between the beginning and the end of the period.  
Adjusted shareholders’ equity for fiscal year 2016 is calculated after payment of a dividend of 2.45 per share, subject to approval by the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on May 26, 2017.  
In 2015, the ROE was 11.5%.  
(
3) For its internal management and external communication purposes, the Group calculates a net debt-to-equity ratio by dividing its net financial debt by its adjusted shareholders’ equity.  
The 2016 adjusted shareholders’ equity is calculated after payment of a dividend of 2.45 per share, subject to approval by the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on May 26, 2017.  
In 2016, the net debt-to-equity ratio was 27.1%. In 2015, it was 28.3%.

Annual variable

assessed by comparison with those of the four large oil companies(1). The Board of  
Directors noted that the increase in the Group’s three-year average ANI was better  
than that of the panel(2), which led the portion for this criterion to be set at 50% of  
the fixed compensation for fiscal year 2016 (of a maximum of 50%).  
(continued)  
Regarding the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s personal contribution, the  
Board of Directors determined that the targets set were largely achieved, particularly  
those related to the increase in oil and gas production (+4.5% in 2016 compared to  
2015), the successful strategic negotiations with producing countries (acquisition of  
an interest in the giant Al-Shaheen oil field in Qatar for a period of 25 years,signing of  
a heads of agreement with the Iranian state-owned company to develop phase 11 of  
South Pars, strategic alliance with Petrobras in Brazil) and the successful managerial  
transition (implementation of the project “One Total, one ambition”, acquisition of Saft  
Groupe which permitted the integration of electricity storage solutions in the Group’s  
portfolio, acquisition of the gas distributor Lampiris, sale of Atotech, renewal of the  
Executive Committee as of September 1, 2016). CSR performance was also  
considered fully satisfactory based on the decrease of the Group’s CO emissions  
2
(-7% in 2016 compared to 2015) and on the improvement of the Group’s position in  
the rankings published by non-financial rating agencies. The Chairman and Chief  
Executive Officer’s personal contribution was therefore set at 40% of the fixed  
compensation (of a maximum of 40%).

(accounting valuation)  
On July 27, 2016, Mr. Pouyanné was granted 60,000 existing shares of the Company  
(corresponding to 0.002% of the share capital) pursuant to the authorization of the  
Company’s Combined Shareholders’ Meeting of May 24, 2016 (twenty-fourth  
resolution) subject to the conditions set out below. These shares were granted under  
a broader share plan approved by the Board of Directors on July 27, 2016, relating to  
(and all other forms of  
long-term  
compensation)  
0.8% of the share capital in favor of more than 10,000 beneficiaries. The definitive  
grant of all the shares is subject to the beneficiary’s continued presence within the  
Group during the vesting period and to performance conditions as described below.  
The definitive number of shares granted will be based on the comparative TSR (Total  
Shareholder Return) and the annual variation in net cash flow per share for fiscal  
years 2016 to 2018, applied as follows:  
the Company will be ranked each year against its peers(1) during the three vesting  
years (2016, 2017 and 2018) based on the TSR criterion using the average closing  
market price expressed in dollars over one quarter at the beginning and end of  
each three-year period (Q4 year N vs./Q4 year N-3). The dividend will be  
considered reinvested based on the last market price on the ex-dividend date.  
TSR N = (average price Q4 N – average price Q4 N-3 + reinvested  
dividends)/(average price Q4 N-3);  
(
1) ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, BP and Chevron.  
(2) The annual ANI of each peer used for the calculation is determined by taking the average of the ANIs published by a panel of six financial analysts: UBS, Crédit Suisse, Barclays, Bank of  
America Merrill Lynch, JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank. If any of these analysts is unable to publish the results of one or more peers for a given year, it will be replaced, for the year and for the  
peer(s) in question, in the order listed, by an analyst included in the following additional list: Jefferies, HSBC, Société Générale, Goldman Sachs and Citi. The ANIs used will be set according to  
these analysts’ last publications two business days after the publication of the press release announcing the “fourth quarter and annual results” of the last peer.

The number of shares used to calculate net cash flow per share will be the

The number of shares definitively granted, after confirmation of the performance  
conditions, will be rounded to the nearest whole number of shares in case of a

this percentage will be equal to 10%. If this condition is no longer met, the above-  
mentioned 50% holding requirement will again apply. Given this holding requirement,  
the availability of the performance shares is not dependent on the purchase of further  
shares in the Company.

In addition, the Board of Directors has noted that, pursuant to the Board’s Rules of  
Procedure applicable to all directors, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is not  
allowed to hedge the shares of the Company or any related financial instruments and  
has taken note of Mr. Pouyanné’s commitment to abstain from such hedging  
operations with regard to the performance shares granted.  
The grant of performance shares to Mr. Pouyanné is subject to the same  
requirements applicable to the other beneficiaries of the performance share plan and  
were approved by the Board at its meeting on July 27, 2016. In particular, these  
provisions stipulate that the shares definitively granted at the end of the three-year

Severance benefit  
None  
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is entitled to a benefit equal to two years of  
his gross compensation in the event of a forced departure related to a change of  
control or strategy. The calculation is based on the gross compensation (fixed and  
variable) of the 12 months preceding the date of termination or non-renewal of his  
term of office.  
The severance benefit will only be paid in the event of a forced departure related to a  
change of control or strategy. It will not be due in case of gross negligence or willful  
misconduct or if the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer leaves the Company of his  
own volition, accepts new responsibilities within the Group or may claim full retirement  
benefits within a short time period. Pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 225-42-1 of  
the French Commercial Code, receipt of this severance benefit is contingent upon a  
performance-related condition applicable to the beneficiary, which is deemed to be  
fulfilled if at least two of the following criteria are met:  
the average ROE (return on equity) for the three years preceding the year in which  
the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer retires is at least 10%;  
the average net debt-to-equity ratio for the three years preceding the year in which  
the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer retires is less than or equal to 30%;  
growth in TOTAL’s oil and gas production is greater than or equal to the average  
growth rate of four oil companies (ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, BP and  
Chevron) during the three years preceding the year in which the Chairman and  
Chief Executive Officer retires.  
Retirement benefit  
None  
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is entitled to a retirement benefit equal to  
those available to eligible members of the Group under the French National Collective  
Bargaining Agreement for the Petroleum Industry. This benefit is equal to 25% of the  
fixed and variable annual compensation received during the 12 months preceding  
retirement.  
Pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 225-42-1 of the French Commercial Code,  
receipt of this retirement benefit is contingent upon a performance-related condition  
applicable to the beneficiary, which is deemed to be fulfilled if at least two of the  
following criteria are met:

Supplementary  
pension plan  
None  
Pursuant to applicable legislation, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is eligible  
for the basic French Social Security pension and for pension benefits under the  
ARRCO and AGIRC supplementary pension plans.  
He also participates in the internal defined contribution pension plan applicable to all  
TOTAL S.A. employees, known as RECOSUP (Régime collectif et obligatoire de  
retraite supplémentaire à cotisations définies), covered by Article L. 242-1 of the  
French Social Security Code. The Company’s commitment is limited to its share of  
the contributions paid to the insurance company that manages the plan. For fiscal  
year 2016, this pension plan represented a booked expense to TOTAL S.A. in favor  
of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of 2,317.  
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer also participates in a supplementary  
defined benefit pension plan, covered by Article L. 137-11 of the French Social  
Security Code, set up and financed by the Company and approved by the Board of  
Directors on March 13, 2001, for which management is outsourced to two insurance  
companies effective January 1, 2012. This plan applies to all TOTAL S.A. employees  
whose compensation exceeds eight times the annual ceiling for calculating French  
Social Security contributions (PASS), set at 38,616 for 2016 (i.e., 308,928), and  
above which there is no conventional pension plan.  
To be eligible for this supplementary pension plan, participants must have served for  
at least five years, be at least 60 years old and exercised his or her rights to  
retirement from the French Social Security. The benefits under this plan are subject to  
a presence condition under which the beneficiary must still be employed at the time  
of retirement. However, the presence condition does not apply if a beneficiary aged  
55 or older leaves the Company at the Company’s initiative or in case of disability.  
The length of service acquired by Mr. Pouyanné as a result of his previous salaried  
duties held at the Group since January 1, 1997 has been maintained for the benefit  
of this plan. The compensation taken into account to calculate the supplementary  
pension is the average gross annual compensation (fixed and variable portion) over  
the last three years. The amount paid under this plan is equal to 1.8% of the  
compensation falling between 8 and 40 times the PASS and 1% for the portion of the  
compensation falling between 40 and 60 times this ceiling, multiplied by the number  
of years of service up to a maximum of 20 years, subject to the performance  
condition set out below applicable to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  
The sum of the annual supplementary pension plan benefits and other pension plan  
benefits (other than those set up individually and on a voluntary basis) may not  
exceed 45% of the average gross compensation (fixed and variable portion) over the  
last three years. In the event that this percentage is exceeded, the supplementary  
pension is reduced accordingly. The amount of the supplementary pension  
determined in this way is indexed to the ARRCO pension point.  
The supplementary pension includes a clause whereby 60% of the amount will be  
paid to beneficiaries in the event of death after retirement.  
To ensure that the acquisition of additional pension rights under this defined-benefit  
pension plan is subject to performance conditions to be defined pursuant to the  
provisions of Article L. 225-42-1 of the French Commercial Code amended by law  
No. 2015-990 of August 6, 2015, the Board of Directors noted the existence of the  
Chief Executive Officer’s pension rights under the above-mentioned pension plan,  
immediately before his appointment as Chairman, for the period from January 1,  
1
997 to December 18, 2015.  
The conditional rights granted for the period from January 1, 1997 to December 18,  
015 (inclusive), acquired without performance conditions, correspond to a  
2
replacement rate equal to 34.14% for the portion of the base compensation falling  
between 8 and 40 times the PASS and a replacement rate of 18.96% for the portion  
of the base compensation falling between 40 and 60 times the PASS.

compensation paid in 2017 for fiscal year 2016 reaches 100% of the base salary due  
for fiscal year 2016. In the event that the variable portion does not reach 100% of the  
base salary, the rights granted will be calculated on a prorata basis.  
On February 8, 2017, the Board of Directors noted that the specified performance  
condition was fully met and therefore confirmed the acquisition by Mr. Pouyanné of  
additional pension rights for the period from December 19, 2015 to December 31,  
2016 under this defined-benefit pension plan.  
The Board also noted that Mr. Pouyanné would no longer be able to acquire additional  
pension rights under this plan given the rules for determining pension rights set out in  
the plan and the 20 years of service of Mr. Pouyanné as of December 31, 2016.  
The commitments made by TOTAL S.A. to its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer  
regarding the supplementary defined benefit and similar pension plans therefore  
represent, at December 31, 2016, a gross annual pension estimated at 599,320  
based on the length of service acquired as of December 31, 2016 (i.e., 20 years of  
service), corresponding to 16.03% of Mr. Pouyanné’s gross annual compensation  
consisting of the annual fixed portion for 2016 (i.e., 1,400,000) and the variable  
portion paid in 2017 for fiscal year 2016 (i.e., 2,339,400). Nearly the full amount of  
TOTAL S.A.’s commitments under these supplementary and similar retirement plans  
(including the retirement benefit) is outsourced to insurance companies and the non-  
outsourced balance is evaluated annually and adjusted through a provision in the  
accounts. The amount of these commitments as of December 31, 2016  
is 16.1 million for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (16.4 million for the  
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the executive and non-executive directors  
covered by these plans). These amounts represent the gross value of TOTAL S.A.’s  
commitments to these beneficiaries based on the estimated gross annual pensions  
as of December 31, 2016 and the statistical life expectancy of the beneficiaries.  
The total amount of all the pension plans in which Mr. Pouyanné participates  
represents, at December 31, 2016, a gross annual pension estimated at 690,600  
based on the length of service acquired as of December 31, 2016 (i.e., 20 years of  
service), corresponding to 18.47% of Mr. Pouyanné’s gross annual compensation  
defined above (annual fixed portion for 2016 and variable portion paid in 2017 for  
fiscal year 2016).  
In line with the principles for determining the compensation of executive directors as  
set out in the AFEP-MEDEF Code which the Company uses as a reference, the  
Board of Directors took into account the benefit accruing from participation in the  
pension plans when determining the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s  
compensation.

by the Board of Directors at its meeting on February 9, 2012, which  
have not been changed since then and are set out below.  
At its meeting on March 15, 2017, the Board of Directors, on the  
proposal of the Compensation Committee, approved the  
compensation policy for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer  
applicable for fiscal year 2017 and presented in point 6.2.  
In line with the principles for determining the compensation of  
executive directors as set out in the AFEP-MEDEF Code which the  
Company uses as a reference, the Board of Directors took into  
account the benefit accruing from participation in the pension plans  
when determining the compensation policy for the Chairman and  
Chief Executive Officer for fiscal year 2017.  
This report reviewed by the Compensation Committee was  
approved by the Board of Directors.  
The compensation policy for the Chairman and Chief Executive  
Officer is approved by the Board of Directors on the proposal of the  
Compensation Committee. It is based on the general principles for  
6.1. General principles for determining the compensation of the executive directors  
The general principles for determining the compensation and other  
benefits granted to the executive directors of TOTAL S.A. are as  
follows:  
The Board of Directors monitors the change in the fixed and  
variable portions of the executive directors’ compensation over  
several years in light of the Company’s performance;  
there is no specific pension plan for the executive directors. They  
are eligible for retirement benefits and pension plans available to  
certain employee categories in the Group under conditions  
determined by the Board;  
stock options and performance shares are designed to align the  
interests of the executive directors with those of the shareholders  
over the long term.  
The grant of options and performance shares to the executive  
directors is reviewed in light of all the components of  
compensation of the person in question. No discount is applied  
when stock options are granted.  
Stock options and performance shares are granted at regular  
intervals to prevent any opportunistic behavior.  
The exercise of options and the definitive grant of performance  
shares to which the executive directors are entitled are subject to  
performance conditions that must be met over several years.  
The Board of Directors determines the rules related to holding a  
portion of the shares resulting from the exercise of options and  
the performance shares definitively granted, which apply to the  
executive directors until the end of their term of office.  
compensation and benefits for the executive directors are set by  
the Board of Directors on the proposal of the Compensation  
Committee. Such compensation must be reasonable and fair, in  
a context that values both teamwork and motivation within the  
Company. Compensation for the executive directors is based on  
the market, the work performed, the results obtained and the  
responsibilities assumed;  
compensation for the executive directors includes a fixed portion  
and a variable portion. The fixed portion is reviewed at least every  
two years;  
the amount of the variable portion is reviewed each year and may  
not exceed a stated percentage of the fixed portion. Variable  
compensation is determined based on pre-defined quantitative  
and qualitative criteria that are periodically reviewed by the Board  
of Directors. Quantitative criteria are limited in number, objective,  
measurable and adapted to the Company’s strategy;  
the variable portion rewards short-term performance and the  
progress made toward paving the way for medium-term  
development. It is determined in a manner consistent with the  
annual performance review of the executive directors and the  
Company’s medium-term strategy.

Pension plans  
Pursuant to applicable legislation, the Chairman and Chief  
Executive Officer is eligible for the basic French Social Security  
pension and for pension benefits under the ARRCO and AGIRC  
supplementary pension plans.  
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s personal contribution,  
which may represent up to 40% of the base salary, is evaluated  
based on the following criteria:  
He also participates in the internal defined contribution pension  
plan applicable to all TOTAL S.A. employees, known as RECOSUP  
(Régime collectif et obligatoire de retraite supplémentaire à  
cotisations définies), covered by Article L. 242-1 of the French  
Social Security Code. The Company’s commitment is limited to its  
share of the contributions paid to the insurance company that  
manages the plan. For fiscal year 2016, this pension plan  
represented a booked expense to TOTAL S.A. in favor of the  
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of 2,317.

reputation in the domain of corporate social responsibility.  
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer also participates in a  
supplementary defined benefit pension plan, covered by Article  
L. 137-11 of the French Social Security Code, set up and financed  
by the Company and approved by the Board of Directors on  
March 13, 2001, for which management is outsourced to two  
insurance companies effective January 1, 2012. This plan applies to  
all TOTAL S.A. employees whose compensation exceeds eight  
times the annual ceiling for calculating French Social Security  
contributions (PASS), set at 38,616 for 2016 (i.e., 308,928), and  
above which there is no conventional pension plan.  
Performance shares  
Each year, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer can be  
granted performance shares as part of the broader grant plans  
approved by the Board of Directors for certain Group employees.  
The performance shares granted to him are subject to the same  
requirements applicable to the other beneficiaries of the grant  
plans.  
As in previous years, in 2017 the Board of Directors will consider  
offering a performance share plan to various beneficiaries, including  
the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The performance  
conditions would be based on the Company’s ranking established  
each year against its peers(1) during the three vesting years (2017,  
To be eligible for this supplementary pension plan, participants  
must have served for at least five years, be at least 60 years old  
and exercised his or her rights to retirement from the French Social  
Security. The benefits under this plan are subject to a presence  
condition under which the beneficiary must still be employed at the  
time of retirement. However, the presence condition does not apply

on the Company’s ranking established each year against its peers(  
during the three vesting years (2017, 2018, 2019) using the annual  
variation in net cash flow per share expressed in dollars criterion.  
At the end of the three-year vesting period, the shares granted  
would need to be held for two years following their definitive grant.

The length of service acquired by Mr. Pouyanné as a result of his  
previous salaried duties held at the Group since January 1, 1997  
has been maintained for the benefit of this plan. The compensation  
taken into account to calculate the supplementary pension is the  
average gross annual compensation (fixed and variable portion)  
over the last three years. The amount paid under this plan is equal  
to 1.8% of the compensation falling between 8 and 40 times the  
PASS and 1% for the portion of the compensation falling between  
40 and 60 times this ceiling, multiplied by the number of years of  
service up to a maximum of 20 years, subject to the performance  
condition set out below applicable to the Chairman and Chief  
Executive Officer.  
Commitments made by the Company to the Chairman  
and Chief Executive Officer (Article L. 225-102-1,  
paragraph 3, of the French Commercial Code)  
The commitments made to the Chairman and Chief Executive  
Officer regarding the pension plans, the retirement benefit and the  
severance benefit to be paid in the event of forced departure  
related to a change of control or strategy, as well as the life  
insurance and health care benefits, approved by the Board of  
Directors on December 16, 2015 and by the Annual Shareholders’  
Meeting on May 24, 2016, in accordance with the provisions of  
Article L. 225-42-1 of the French Commercial Code, will not be  
likely to be changed before the expiration of the Chairman and  
Chief Executive Officer’s term of office. They are presented below.  
It should be noted that Mr. Pouyanné already benefited from all  
these provisions when he was an employee of the Company,  
except for the commitment to pay severance benefits in the event  
of forced departure related to a change of control or strategy. It  
should also be noted that Mr. Pouyanné, who joined the Group on  
January 1, 1997, ended the employment contract that he previously  
had with TOTAL S.A. through his resignation at the time of his  
appointment as Chief Executive Officer on October 22, 2014.  
The sum of the annual supplementary pension plan benefits and  
other pension plan benefits (other than those set up individually and  
on a voluntary basis) may not exceed 45% of the average gross  
compensation (fixed and variable portion) over the last three years.  
In the event that this percentage is exceeded, the supplementary  
pension is reduced accordingly. The amount of the supplementary  
pension determined in this way is indexed to the ARRCO pension  
point.  
The supplementary pension includes a clause whereby 60% of the  
amount will be paid to beneficiaries in the event of death after  
retirement.

To ensure that the acquisition of additional pension rights under this  
defined-benefit pension plan is subject to performance conditions  
to be defined pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 225-42-1 of  
the French Commercial Code amended by law No. 2015-990 of  
August 6, 2015, the Board of Directors noted the existence of the  
Chief Executive Officer’s pension rights under the above-mentioned  
pension plan, immediately before his appointment as Chairman, for  
the period from January 1, 1997 to December 18, 2015.  
The total amount of all the pension plans in which Mr. Pouyanné  
participates represents, at December 31, 2016, a gross annual  
pension estimated at 690,600 based on the length of service  
acquired as of December 31, 2016 (i.e., 20 years of service),  
corresponding to 18.47% of Mr. Pouyanné’s gross annual  
compensation defined above (annual fixed portion for 2016 and  
variable portion paid in 2017 for fiscal year 2016).  
Retirement benefit  
The conditional rights granted for the period from January 1, 1997  
to December 18, 2015 (inclusive), acquired without performance  
conditions, correspond to a replacement rate equal to 34.14% for  
the portion of the base compensation falling between 8 and 40  
times the PASS and a replacement rate of 18.96% for the portion of  
the base compensation falling between 40 and 60 times the PASS.  
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is entitled to a retirement  
benefit equal to those available to eligible members of the Group  
under the French National Collective Bargaining Agreement for the  
Petroleum Industry. This benefit is equal to 25% of the fixed and  
variable annual compensation received during the 12 months  
preceding retirement.  
The conditional rights granted for the period from December 19,

015 to December 31, 2016 are subject to the performance  
Pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 225-42-1 of the French  
Commercial Code, receipt of this retirement benefit is contingent upon  
a performance-related condition applicable to the beneficiary, which  
is deemed to be fulfilled if at least two of the following criteria are met:  
condition described below and correspond to a maximum  
replacement rate equal to 1.86% for the portion of the base  
compensation falling between 8 and 40 times the PASS and a  
replacement rate equal to 1.04% for the portion of the base  
compensation falling between 40 and 60 times the PASS.  
the average ROE (return on equity) for the three years preceding  
the year in which the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer retires  
is at least 10%;  
Pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 225-42-1 of the French  
Commercial Code, the Board of Directors decided to make the  
acquisition of these conditional rights for the period from  
December 19, 2015 to December 31, 2016, subject to a condition  
related to the beneficiary’s performance, which is considered  
fulfilled if the variable portion of the Chairman and Chief Executive  
Officer’s compensation paid in 2017 for fiscal year 2016 reaches  
– the average net debt-to-equity ratio for the three years preceding  
the year in which the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer retires  
is less than or equal to 30%; and  
– growth in TOTAL’s oil and gas production is greater than or equal  
to the average growth rate of four oil companies (ExxonMobil,  
Royal Dutch Shell, BP and Chevron) during the three years  
preceding the year in which the Chairman and Chief Executive  
Officer retires.  
100% of the base salary due for fiscal year 2016. In the event that  
the variable portion does not reach 100% of the base salary, the  
rights granted will be calculated on a prorata basis.  
The retirement benefit cannot be combined with the severance  
benefit described below.  
On February 8, 2017, the Board of Directors noted that the specified  
performance condition was fully met and therefore confirmed the  
acquisition by Mr. Pouyanné of additional pension rights for the  
period from December 19, 2015 to December 31, 2016.  
Severance benefit  
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is entitled to a benefit  
equal to two years of his gross compensation in the event of a  
forced departure related to a change of control or strategy. The  
calculation is based on the gross compensation (fixed and variable)  
of the 12 months preceding the date of termination or non-renewal  
of his term of office.  
The Board also noted that Mr. Pouyanné would no longer be able  
to acquire additional pension rights under this plan given the rules  
for determining pension rights set out in the plan and the 20 years  
of service of Mr. Pouyanné as of December 31, 2016.  
The commitments made by TOTAL S.A. to its Chairman and Chief  
Executive Officer regarding the supplementary defined benefit and  
similar pension plans therefore represent, at December 31, 2016, a  
gross annual pension estimated at 599,320 based on the length  
of service acquired as of December 31, 2016 (i.e., 20 years of  
service), corresponding to 16.03% of Mr. Pouyanné’s gross annual  
compensation consisting of the annual fixed portion for 2016  
The severance benefit will only be paid in the event of a forced  
departure related to a change of control or strategy. It will not be  
due in case of gross negligence or willful misconduct or if the  
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer leaves the Company of his  
own volition, accepts new responsibilities within the Group or may  
claim full retirement benefits within a short time period.

outsourced balance is evaluated annually and adjusted through a  
provision in the accounts. The amount of these commitments as of  
December 31, 2016 is 16.1 million for the Chairman and Chief  
Executive Officer (16.4 million for the Chairman and Chief  
Executive Officer and the executive and non-executive directors

TOTAL puts Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) at the heart of its  
activities and conducts its operations according to the following  
principles of:  
– a People & Social Responsibility corporate division, whose President  
is a member of the Executive Committee, which includes a  
Human Resources division focused on its strategic missions,  
an HSE (Health Safety Environment) division bringing together  
all the central HSE divisions of the business segments, whose  
mission is to implement a strengthened HSE model, a Security  
division and a new Civil Society Engagement division that  
manages all the Group’s initiatives in this field.  
protecting the safety and security of people and its facilities;  
limiting its environmental footprint;  
ensuring that its Code of Conduct is applied in its sphere of  
operations;  
incorporating the challenges of sustainable development in the  
exercise of its activities;  
increasing its local integration by placing dialogue with its stakeholders  
at the heart of its policy and contributing to the economic and  
social development of the regions where the Group has operations  
with the objective of creating shared value; and  
promoting equal opportunities and fostering diversity and cultural  
mix among its personnel.  
TOTAL and the United Nations’ Sustainable  
Development Goals  
In 2015, the United Nations adopted the 17 Sustainable Development  
Goals (SDGs). These goals acknowledge the decisive role  
corporations can play in economic development and growth and  
ask of them to show creativity and innovation in finding solutions to  
global sustainable development challenges.  
The Group’s CSR performance is measured by non-financial  
rating agencies. TOTAL has been included continuously in the  
FTSE4Good index (London Stock Exchange) since 2001 and in the  
Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World – New York  
Stock Exchange) since 2004. TOTAL was listed in the DJSI Europe  
in 2016.  
TOTAL is proactively committed to incorporating the SDGs into its  
activities, especially in those areas where its activities have the greatest  
impact or enable the Group to make a positive and differentiating  
contribution. This is particularly true for the following topics:  
climate change (SDG 13): in May 2016, TOTAL published a  
detailed report specifying how climate-related challenges are  
integrated in its strategy, and setting a 20-year ambition that  
takes into account the IEA’s 2°C scenario (refer to point 2.3  
below). An update of this report will be published in May 2017;  
decent work and human rights (SDGs 8 and 16): in July 2016,  
TOTAL became the first oil and gas company to publish a  
detailed report specifying how the Group incorporates respect  
for human rights in its activities. TOTAL strives to communicate  
transparently and indicate which actions have been taken to rise  
to the challenges the Group is facing (refer to point 3.7.2 below);  
access to energy (SDG 7): TOTAL’s ambition is to supply  
affordable energy to growing populations (refer to point 3.4.5  
below); and  
In terms of reporting, TOTAL refers to the IPIECA (global oil and gas  
industry association for environmental and social issues) guidance  
and to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). Detailed information on  
these reporting guidelines is available on the Group’s website  
(sustainable-performance.total.com).  
The reporting scopes and method concerning the information in  
this chapter are presented in point 4 below. The data presented in  
this section are provided on a current-scope basis.  
TOTAL’s ambition is to become the responsible energy major by  
supplying affordable energy to a growing population, taking the  
issue of climate into consideration and meeting its customers’ new  
expectations. In 2016, this 20-year ambition was reflected in the  
One Total company project, which saw the introduction of a new  
organization, fully effective on January 1, 2017 (also refer to point  
biodiversity (SDGs 14 and 15): TOTAL pursues an active policy  
to reduce the environmental footprint of its activities by paying  
particularly close attention to protected and sensitive zones  
1.3 in chapter 2). This new organization is reflected in particular by  
the implementation of:  
(refer to point 2.2.5 below).  
a new Gas, Renewables & Power business segment, whose  
President is a member of the Executive Committee, which  
spearheads the Group’s ambitions in low-carbon and energy  
efficiency businesses. This segment is also tasked with managing  
the Total Energy Ventures investment fund and activities to  
develop access to energy (Awango by Total);  
a Strategy-Innovation corporate division, which includes a  
Strategy & Climate division tasked with incorporating climate  
issues into the Group’s strategy; and  
In 2016, TOTAL has committed to developing an action plan  
as promoted by the United Nations for implementing SDGs.  
Information on the Group’s current contributions per SDG can  
be found on the total.com site (Sustainable Performance page).  
TOTAL is also working with the IPIECA to define a common  
framework describing the contributions that the oil industry can  
make to the SDGs.  
The SDG pictograms are included in this chapter to illustrate  
TOTAL’s contributions.

1. Social information  
The quantitative information set out below regarding the Group’s employees worldwide covers all the entities that are fully consolidated(1) in  
the Group’s financial statements. However, some of the data comes from the Group’s Worldwide Human Resources Survey (WHRS), which  
gathers approximately 100 indicators measuring important aspects of TOTAL’s human resources policy. The WHRS is performed on a sample  
of employees from representative consolidated companies at the business segment and regional levels; when WHRS is mentioned in this  
document, reference is made to data related to this sample, which represents 87.5% of the Group’s employees at 135 subsidiaries in 2016,  
a slight decrease compared to 2015 (91%) and 2014 (91%), due to the variation in the number of employees in the consolidated companies,  
principally due to the acquisitions of Saft Groupe and Lampiris.

principally due to the acquisitions of Saft Groupe and Lampiris. The  
decrease in the number of employees between 2014 and 2015 was  
due, on the one hand, to the policy of limiting recruitment in the Group’s  
oil-related sector to face the decrease in the price of hydrocarbons  
and, on the other hand, to divestments made during the year.

contracts as defined by local law.  
Amid an economic downturn related to oil prices, the policy of  
limiting the hiring of employees under open-ended contracts that  
began in 2015 continued in 2016. The increase in the consolidated  
scope was mainly due to the 41% increase in Hutchinson’s hiring.  
The regions in which the largest number of employees were hired  
were Latin America (42.9%), Europe (excluding France) (19.5%)  
and Asia (16.5%). In 2016, the fully consolidated Group companies  
also hired 4,433 employees on fixed-term contracts. Close to

performance (quantitative and qualitative attainment of previously  
set targets) and the employee’s contribution to collective  
performance evaluated among others according to HSE targets  
set for each business segment, which represent up to 10% of  
the variable portion. In 2016, 82.2% % of the Group’s entities  
(WHRS scope) included HSE criteria in the variable compensation.  
464,000 job applications were received by the companies covered  
by the WHRS.

Complementary collective variable compensation programs

and profit-sharing that also incorporates HSE criteria. According to  
the agreement signed for 2015-2017 applicable to the oil and  
petrochemicals(1) (scope of more than 18,000 employees in 2016)  
sector in France, the amount available for employee incentive is  
determined based on financial parameters (the Group’s return on  
equity and the evolution of the net adjusted income compared to  
the other major oil companies(2)) and the attainment of safety  
targets (injury rate and accidental deaths).

A large majority of employees benefit from laws that guarantee a  
minimum wage, and, whenever this is not the case, the Group’s  
policy ensures that compensation is above the minimum wage  
observed locally. Regular benchmarking is used to assess  
compensation based on the external market and the entity’s  
competitive environment. Each entity’s positioning relative to its  
reference market is assessed by the Human Resources department  
of each business segment, which monitors evolutions in payroll,  
turnover and consistency with the market.  
These programs are reviewed on a regular basis and adjusted  
when necessary.  
Employee shareholding, one of the pillars of the Group’s human  
resources policy, is extended via three main mechanisms: the grant  
of performance shares, share capital increases reserved for  
employees, and employee savings. In this way, TOTAL wishes to  
encourage employee shareholding, strengthen their sense of  
belonging to the Group and give them a stake in the Group’s  
performance by allowing them to benefit from their involvement.  
Fair treatment is ensured within the Group through the widespread  
implementation of a job level evaluation using a common method

The previous operation took place in 2015. Approximately 42,000  
employees in 102 countries participated in this share capital

a price of 37.50 per share.  
fulfillment of performance conditions assessed at the end of a  
vesting period extended to three years in 2013 (refer to point 4 of  
chapter 6). The last plan approved by the Board of Directors of  
TOTAL S.A. in July 2016 granted nearly a 20% higher volume of  
performance shares and ensured a significant replenishment rate:  
In addition, at its meeting on July 27, 2016 the Board of Directors  
of TOTAL S.A. approved an ambitious employee shareholding  
policy and, in particular, the principle of a share capital increase  
reserved for employees each year rather than every two to three  
years, as was previously the case.  
40% of plan beneficiaries had not received performance shares the  
previous year. More than 10,000 non-senior executive employees  
were concerned by this plan, namely 97% of the beneficiaries.  
The Group also regularly invites its employees to subscribe to  
capital increases reserved for employees through a Shareholder  
Group Savings Plan (PEG-A) created in 1999 for this purpose.  
Depending on the offerings chosen and the employees’ location,  
these operations are completed either through Company Savings  
Plans(1) (FCPE) or by subscribing directly for shares or for American  
Depositary Receipts (ADR) in the United States.  
Employee savings are also developed via the TOTAL Group  
Savings Plan (PEGT) and the Complementary Company Savings  
Plan (PEC), both open to employees of the Group’s French  
companies that have subscribed to the plans under the agreements  
signed in 2002 and 2004 and their amendments. These plans allow  
investments in a wide range of mutual funds, including the TOTAL  
ACTIONNARIAT FRANCE fund that is invested in TOTAL shares.  
A Collective Retirement Savings Plan (PERCO) is open to employees  
of the Group’s French companies covered by the 2004 Group  
agreement on provisions for retirement savings. Other saving plans  
and PERCO are open in some French companies covered by  
specific agreements. Employees can make discretionary  
Pursuant to the authorization given by the Annual Shareholders’  
Meeting of May 24, 2016, at its meeting on July 27, 2016 the  
Board of Directors of TOTAL S.A. approved the principle of a share  
capital increase reserved for employees to be completed in 2017.  
This operation concerns approximately 110 countries. As in 2015,  
two offerings are proposed: a traditional scheme with a 20%  
discount and a leveraged scheme in all countries where permitted  
by law. Employees will receive a matching contribution of five free  
shares for the first five shares subscribed. The shares subscribed  
contributions in the framework of this various plans, which the  
Group’s companies may supplement under certain conditions  
through a matching contribution. The Group’s companies made  
gross matching contributions that totaled 70 million in 2016.  
1.2. Organization of work  
The average work week is determined in accordance with applicable  
local law and limits set by International Labour Organization (ILO)  
conventions. It is less than 40 hours in most subsidiaries located in  
Europe, Japan and Qatar. It is 40 hours in most subsidiaries located  
in Asian, African and North American countries. It is above 40 hours,  
without exceeding 48 hours, in subsidiaries located in Latin America

1.3. Dialogue with employees  
In 2015, TOTAL signed a global agreement with the worldwide  
trade union federation, IndustriALL Global Union, which represents  
50 million employees in 140 countries. Under this agreement, the  
Group made a commitment to maintain minimum Corporate Social  
Responsibility (CSR) standards and guarantees worldwide for  
subsidiaries in which it has more than a 50% stake, in the areas of  
occupational health and safety, human rights in the workplace,  
enhancement of the dialogue with employees, life insurance,  
professional equality, social responsibility and assistance with  
organizational changes. The Group also ensures that the principles  
of the agreement on health, safety and human rights are disclosed  
to and promoted among its service providers and suppliers.  
The implementation of this agreement is monitored annually with  
representatives who are members of trade unions affiliated with the  
IndustriALL Global Union and appointed by this federation. An initial  
follow-up meeting was therefore held in April 2016 to assess the  
implementation of the agreement and identify certain areas of  
improvement and actions to be taken.  
Among the numerous stakeholders with which TOTAL maintains  
regular dialogue (refer also to point 3.2 of this chapter), the Group’s  
employees and their representatives have a privileged position and  
role, particularly in constructive discussions with management. In  
countries where employee representation is not required by law (for  
example in Myanmar and Brunei), TOTAL strives to set up such  
representation. There are therefore employee representatives in the  
majority of Group companies, most of whom are elected. The subjects  
covered by dialogue with employees vary from company to company,  
but some are shared throughout, such as health and safety, work  
time, compensation, training and equal opportunity.  
Within the Group, organizational changes are made in consultation  
with the employee representatives. For example, implementation of  
the One Total company project was preceded by a participatory  
process (via workshops involving over 2,500 employees). This was  
also true of the Group’s new organization (refer to point 1.3 of  
chapter 2), which resulted in the transfer of numerous activities and  
positions (approximately 1 200 employees affected) and was based  
on a constructive social dialogue. This dialogue led to agreements  
aimed at supporting organizational change and equipping the new  
companies created within this framework with social programs.  
A European Committee (single representative body for the  
employees at the Group level) has been set up in order to inform  
employees and hold discussions on the Group’s strategy,  
its social, economic and financial situation, as well as questions of  
sustainable development, environmental and societal responsibility,  
and safety on a European scale. It also examines any significant  
proposed organizational change concerning at least two  
companies in two European countries, to express its opinion,  
in addition to the procedures initiated before the national  
representative bodies.  
In addition, 330 agreements were signed in 2016 with employee  
representatives around the world, including 245 in France,(1)  
covering in particular retirement, employee savings, teleworking and  
compensation systems.  
In addition, every other year, TOTAL carries out an internal survey  
(Total Survey) among its employees to gather their views and  
expectations with regard to their work situation and perception of  
the Company, locally and as a Group. The results of the survey  
conducted in 2015 among 65,000 employees at 508 entities  
in 115 countries demonstrated that employees have a commitment  
rate of 75% and that 87% of them are proud to work for TOTAL.

training budget of approximately 164 million, compared to  
170 million in 2015 and 235 million in 2014. This decrease  
The Group has four priorities in the field of training:  
between 2015 and 2016 was due to the increase in online training  
courses, which are gradually being combined with or replacing on-  
site courses as part of the Group’s e-learning program, and to the  
combined effect of optimizing the length of training courses and  
improving training selection in order to be in line with priorities.

HSE and ethics;  
increasing key skills in all business areas to maintain a high level  
of operating performance;  
promoting employees’ integration and career development  
through Group induction and training on management and  
personal development; and  
The digitalization within the Group, which began in 2015, aims to  
improve the effectiveness of the courses and impact the largest  
number of people as quickly as possible. It was accompanied by  
the launch in 2016 of a digital passport program to support the  
Group’s goals in this area, and nearly 12,000 people have already  
obtained this passport. Approximately 42,000 people received  
online training in 2016 and in 2015, compared to 30,000 in 2014.

TOTAL is an international Group in terms of both its operations and  
its team members. The diversity of its employees and management  
is crucial to the Group’s competitiveness, innovative capacity and  
attractiveness.  
For this reason, TOTAL develops its employees’ skills and careers  
while prohibiting any discrimination related to origin, gender, sexual  
orientation or identity, disability, age or affiliation with a political, labor  
or religious organization. This policy is upheld by the Diversity Council,  
which is chaired by a member of the Group’s Executive Committee.  
1.5.1. Equal treatment for men and women  
In 2010, TOTAL signed the “Women’s Empowerment  
Each entity is responsible for defining its own areas of focus based  
on the legal context and its challenges and for creating a suitable  
work environment to fully benefit from skills and diverse approaches.  
This on-the-ground commitment combined with leadership at the  
highest level ensures that all employees, regardless of their gender  
or nationality, are offered the same career opportunities. The  
Group’s target for 2020 is:  
Principles – Equality Means Business” set out in the United Nations  
Global Compact, and its commitment to equal treatment of men  
and women is regularly embodied in agreements, such as the  
global agreement signed in 2015 with IndustriALL (refer to point 1.3  
of this chapter). Specific measures are taken to correct  
discrepancies, such as salary equality (review and adjustment of  
compensation in 2013 and again in 2015) and teleworking to  
improve employees’ work-life balance.

and integration of people with disabilities  
For over 20 years, TOTAL has expressly set out its disability policy  
in France through successive agreements signed with employee  
representatives to promote the employment of workers with  
disabilities. Three framework agreements signed for three years  
(2016-2018) with the French representative unions set out TOTAL’s  
policy with regard to integrating people with disabilities into the work  
world. The average Group employment rate of people with disabilities  
in France (direct and indirect employment) was 4.99% in 2015(2)  
(compared to 4.74% in 2014 and 4.27% in 2013).

,000 participants throughout France.  
In line with the goal of increasing the number of women in positions  
of responsibility, the TWICE network (Total Women’s Initiative for  
Communication and Exchange) aims to promote career development  
for women and train and educate men and women about gender  
diversity. Created in 2006, it is currently in place in France and  
abroad (19 local networks) and has over 3,000 members. As part  
of this network, a mentoring program is deployed internationally,  
and has benefited nearly 500 women since 2010.  
TOTAL promotes the direct recruitment of disabled people and  
cooperation with the sector for disabled workers, while at the same  
time taking various types of action:  
TOTAL also participates in the “BoardWomen Partners” program, which  
aims to increase the proportion of women on boards of directors in  
large European companies. At the end of 2016, women(1) accounted  
for 54.5% of TOTAL S.A.’s Board members (above the 40% required  
by Article L. 225-18-1 of the French Commercial Code) compared  
to 36.4% at the end of 2015 and 38.5% at the end of 2014.

.5.2. Internationalization of management  
With employees representing over 150 nationalities, TOTAL enjoys  
broad cultural diversity and believes that it is important to reflect this  
at all levels of its activities. In 2016, 93.4% of employees hired by  
the Group and 75.3% of managers hired were non-French nationals.  
“Diversity makes us better”.  
TOTAL is involved in a number of initiatives to promote diversity,  
including the professional integration of young people in France, for  
example via the “La France s’engage” partnership with the French  
government (refer to point 3.5.2 of this chapter).  
Several measures have been put in place to internationalize  
management, including training courses to internationalize careers,  
increasing the number of foreign postings for employees of all  
nationalities (nearly 4,300 employees of 108 nationalities are posted  
in 114 countries as of June 30, 2016), and integration and personal  
development training organized by large regional hubs (such as  
Houston, Johannesburg and Singapore).  
In 2014, the Group also signed the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual  
and transgender) Charter. This document, prepared by the L’Autre  
Cercle association, establishes a framework for combating  
discrimination related to sexual orientation or identity in the  
workplace in France.

2. Safety, health and environment information  
In line with its Code of Conduct, TOTAL has adopted a Safety Health Environment Quality Charter on which the Group relies for the conduct  
of its operations (available on total.com). This Charter represents the common framework of the Group’s management systems. Group  
directives define the minimum requirements expected in the areas of safety, security, health, the environment, quality and societal, and are  
implemented in the business segments, which subsequently factor in the specific characteristics of their operations. Recommendations,  
guides and manuals, which are the primary documents used for implementing and managing the Group’s policies, are regularly distributed  
within the different business segments. The HSE division supports the Group business segments and oversees the implementation of the  
policies that reflect the HSE principles of this charter concretely and effectively.  
2.1. Occupational health and safety  
Safety is the subject of regular training activities, in particular at  
management level (refer to point 2.2.1 below), as well as of a policy  
that recognizes HSE performance, in particular by taking account  
safety-related criteria in the calculation of compensation (refer to  
point 1.1.3 above).  
For many years, the Group has been developing a normative  
framework related to occupational health and safety, security,  
societal commitment and the environment. TOTAL implements  
management systems in these areas (MAESTRO). In this respect,  
directives have been drawn up for occupational health and safety.  
These directives set out TOTAL’s requirements in these areas for  
personnel working on its sites. Since 2013, the Group’s business  
segments have increased their efforts regarding the frameworks of  
the HSE management systems in order to provide greater overall  
consistency, while at the same time respecting the businesses’  
specific characteristics.  
Since 2010, the basic rules to be scrupulously followed by all  
personnel, employees and contractors alike, in all of the Group’s  
businesses worldwide, have been set out in a safety document  
entitled “Safety at Work: TOTAL’s Twelve Golden Rules”.  
According to the Group’s internal statistics, in 2016, in more than  
90% of severe incidents or near misses with high severity potential  
in the workplace, at least one of the golden rules had not been  
followed. The proper application of these golden rules, and more  
generally of all occupational safety procedures, is verified through  
site visits and internal audits. An e-learning tool has been  
developed to train the personnel in the 12 golden rules and was  
rolled out in 2016. An update of these rules, prepared in 2016, will  
be deployed in April 2017, on the occasion of the World Safety Day.  
For simplicity’s sake, the decision was taken to reformulate the  
golden rules as do’s and don’ts. This more operational approach  
should improve the adoption of the rules and make it easier to  
control their application.  
The Group’s safety efforts are focused on preventing occupational  
and transport accidents, and on preventing major accidents and  
accidental spills (refer to point 2.2.2 of this chapter and to point 4 of  
chapter 4). They cover both TOTAL employees and employees of  
external contractors, whose safety indicators are monitored with  
the same vigilance as those concerning TOTAL’s personnel.  
Indicators are used to measure the main results in these areas.  
Monthly reporting of occupational accidents is used to monitor  
performance at both the global and site levels.  
One of the priority programs launched in 2016 to improve long-term  
safety performance was focused on strengthening the control of  
the activity of employees working for external contractors, who are  
statistically the main victims of accidents. In 2016, the Group  
launched a program of regular meetings with the management of  
external contractors. These safety meetings are organized both on  
the sites and in the subsidiaries for local contractors, and at Group  
level for some international contractors.

Moreover, the reporting of anomalies (895,000 in 2016) and near  
misses is strongly encouraged and monitored. The ability of each  
employee to identify anomalies or dangerous situations is one of  
the measures of the personnel’s involvement and vigilance in  
accident prevention and reflects the safety culture within the Group.

c) LTIR: Lost Time Injury Rate.  
An investigation is generally launched in response to any type of  
accident whatsoever. The method and scope of investigation  
depend on the actual or potential severity of the event. For example,  
a near miss with a high severity potential level is treated in the same  
way as a severe incident: its analysis is considered to be a key  
driving force for progress and, depending on its relevance to the  
Group’s other entities, triggers a safety alert and even the  
dissemination of a feedback report.  
d) SIR: Severity Injury Rate.  
For more than 10 years, the TRIR and the LTIR have declined  
continuously. In 2016, the Group regrettably recorded one accident  
that led to a fatality. The measures adopted in 2015 have helped to  
improve the safety of employees working for external contractors.  
These measures continue to be deployed, with a view to strengthening  
and sharing safety values throughout and outside the Group.

With respect to transport safety, the Group constantly strives to  
improve its performance in terms of road accidents. The actions  
taken in recent years have helped decrease the severe accident  
rate by 40% between 2013 and 2016, with a focus on measures  
in Africa and the Middle East zone of Marketing & Services.  
These actions rely, in particular, on inspections of transporters.  
The program was also rolled out in three Asian pilot countries  
where Marketing & Services is present (Cambodia, India and  
Pakistan), and it will gradually be extended to other subsidiaries  
in Asia-Pacific in 2017.  
Reporting on occupational illnesses covers only the Group’s  
personnel (WHRS scope) and illnesses reported according to the  
regulations applicable in the country of operation of each entity.  
Musculoskeletal disorders, the main cause of occupational  
illnesses, represented 64% of all recorded illnesses in 2016, stable  
compared to 2015.  
A Medical Advisory Committee meets regularly to discuss key  
health issues that may affect the Group’s employees. It consists of  
external scientific experts and brings together TOTAL’s  
management team and the relevant members of the Group. This  
Committee provides scientific monitoring of health problems that  
could impact the Group, thus enabling the best health protection  
strategies to be put in place when necessary.  
Along with 21 other major French companies, the Group also  
responded to the national call in favor of occupational road safety.  
TOTAL has been investing in this issue for a long time, and even  
goes beyond some of the commitments stated in the call by taking  
actions for its employees all over the world, in addition to the  
requirements of local regulations. By way of example, the Group  
expressly forbids the use of mobile phones while driving.  
In support of the Group’s health policy and to complement the  
periodic medical surveillance program currently in place and  
organized by the Group’s medical staff, an employee health  
observatory has also been set up. This observatory aims at  
establishing health indicators for keeping track over the long term of  
any medical conditions that could affect employees using a  
population-based approach. This program can be used to quickly  
identify the emergence of certain illnesses and, if applicable,  
suggest and oversee appropriate preventive measures.  
Approximately 13% of the Group’s employees worldwide, whatever  
their position, age or horizon, took part anonymously in this  
program, thereby providing a representative sample of the Group’s  
different business segments and professions, including  
administrative as much as operational staff.  
In 2016, the Group-wide coordination for safety in marine and  
inland waterway terminals was reinforced. The training in the Ship  
Shore Safety Check List of the International Safety Guide for Oil  
Tankers and Terminals, which covers the movement of products  
during loading and unloading operations of ships or barges, a  
particularly sensitive phase, was promoted at the last safety  
seminar for the European operators of marine and inland waterway  
terminals in Vlissingen (the Netherlands) in September 2016. More  
than 300 terminal operators have been trained.  
With regards to health, the Group has drawn up a policy to define  
TOTAL’s minimum requirements in terms of the prevention of  
industrial risks to health and the protection of workers.  
The study entitled Sleep, shift work and cardio-metabolic illnesses  
was initiated on the basis of the findings of the TOTAL health  
observatory. The study covered the employees on four  
Refining & Chemicals industrial sites in France (Carling, Donges,  
La Mède and Normandy) and was conducted in collaboration with  
the occupational health departments on each site. The results are  
expected to be published in 2017.  
In particular, based on the Directive on industrial hygiene and  
occupational health, the Group’s companies are expected to  
prepare and carry out a formal risk assessment (chemical, physical,  
biological, ergonomic or psychosocial), create a risk management  
action plan and provide medical monitoring of staff in line with the  
risks to which they are exposed.  
On a broader level, TOTAL is associated with promoting individual  
and collective health in the countries where it operates, including flu  
vaccination campaigns and prevention and screening programs for  
certain diseases (AIDS, cancer, malaria, Ebola, etc.) for employees,  
their families and local communities. For several years, awareness  
campaigns have also been in place concerning, for example,  
musculoskeletal disorder prevention and lifestyle risks (anti-smoking  
and anti-drinking campaigns).  
The Group monitors the following indicators in this area:

2.2. Environmental protection  
2.2.1. General policy and environmental targets  
operations started in 2016, are expected to be certified in 2017.  
The environmental risks and impacts of any planned investment,  
disposal or acquisition subject to Executive Committee approval are  
assessed and reviewed before the final decision is made (also refer  
to point 4.3.1 of chapter 4).  
The HSE division and the HSE departments within the Group’s  
entities seek to ensure that both applicable local regulations and  
internal minimum requirements are being met. The Group steering  
bodies, led by the HSE division, have a threefold task:  
TOTAL seeks to ensure that all employees share its environmental  
protection requirements. Employees receive training in the required  
skills. TOTAL also raises employee awareness through internal  
communication campaigns (e.g., in-house magazines, intranet,  
posters) and provides annual information about the Group’s  
environmental performance.  
monitoring TOTAL’s environmental performance, which is  
reviewed annually by the Executive Committee, for which multi-  
annual improvement targets are set;  
Training courses are organized for managers and senior executives.  
In 2016, 48 training sessions were attended by more than 800  
participants in 1899 training days across 11 countries. Three HSE  
training courses are made available to the operational entities: “HSE  
for Managers”, “HSE Implementation” and “HSE Leadership for  
Group Senior Executives”. The training session “HSE for Managers”  
is aimed at senior managers and operational or functional  
handling, in conjunction with the business segments, the various  
environment-related subjects under their responsibility; and  
promoting the internal standards to be applied by the Group’s  
operational entities as set out in the Safety Health Environment  
Quality Charter.  
The Group defined in early 2016 a new set of coherent  
environmental targets aligned with the 2010-2020 period:  
managers who are currently or will in the future be responsible for  
one of the Group’s operational entities (five sessions were held in  
continue its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions,  
particularly through:

2016 with 253 participants). “HSE Implementation” sessions are  
aimed at employees whose job is specifically to handle one or more  
HSE or operational areas within an operational entity (one session  
was held in 2016 with 10 participants). This offer completes an  
existing course for the same target population provided by the  
Group’s business segments. In addition, the “HSE Leadership for  
Group Senior Executives” course focusing on management styles  
has been organized since 2012. Since 2012, close to 260 senior  
executives have taken part in this program.

TOTAL’s performance in relation to these targets is detailed in the  
following sections.  
2.2.2. Incident risk  
In addition, the Group:  
develops biodiversity action plans for production sites located in  
protected areas(2)  
;
The Group has management structures and systems that present  
similar requirements and expectations across all the entities. TOTAL  
strives to minimize the potential impacts of its operations on  
people, the environment and property through a major risk  
management policy. This policy draws on a shared approach that  
includes, on the one hand, risk identification and analysis, and on  
the other hand, the management of these risks.  
does not conduct oil and gas exploration or production  
operations at natural sites included on the UNESCO World  
Heritage List(3) or in oil fields under sea ice in polar areas; and  
reclaims more than half of its waste and intends to continue its  
efforts in this area.  
TOTAL has a goal of progressively lowering the carbon intensity of  
its energy mix.  
This structured approach applies to all of the Group’s operated  
businesses exposed to major risks. In addition to its drilling and  
pipeline transport operations, the Group has 222 sites and  
operating zones corresponding to:  
The environment management systems on TOTAL’s major sites are  
ISO 14001 certified: 100% of the 69 production sites emitting more  
than 10 kt of GHG per year (excluding start-ups or newly acquired  
sites, which have two years to be certified) are ISO 14001 certified.  
Overall, at year-end 2016, 279 sites had ISO 14001 certification.  
The CLOV site in Angola, which started up in 2015, was ISO 14001  
certified in 2016. Group rules require certification to be obtained  
within two years of start-up of operations; accordingly, the Laggan-

In terms of monitoring indicators, the Group reports the number  
of Tier 1 and Tier 2 events as defined by the API and the IOGP.  
A significant reduction in the number of losses of primary containment  
was observed in comparison to 2015. In addition to the 38 Tier 1  
operational events indicated in the table below, the Group recorded  
one other Tier 1 event due to sabotage or theft in 2016.  
Subsea capping and subsea containment equipment has been  
installed at different points of the world (South Africa, Brazil,  
Singapore and Norway) since 2014 in order to provide solutions  
that can be deployed rapidly in the event of oil or gas eruptions in  
deep offshore drilling operations. This equipment was developed by  
a group of nine oil companies, including TOTAL, and is managed by  
Oil Spill Response Ltd (OSRL), a cooperative dedicated to the  
response to marine pollution by hydrocarbons.

production operations as quickly as possible. Equipment has been  
in place in Angola since 2015, and the in the Republic of Congo  
since 2016, potentially covering the entire Gulf of Guinea region.  
In accordance with industry best practices, TOTAL also monitors  
accidental liquid hydrocarbon spills of more than one barrel. Spills  
that exceed a predetermined severity threshold (in terms of volume  
spilled, toxicity of the product in question or sensitivity of the natural  
environment affected) are reviewed on a monthly basis and annual  
statistics are sent to the Group Performance Management  
Committee. All accidental spills are followed by corrective actions  
aimed at returning the environment to its original state as quickly as  
possible.  
With regard to shipping, the Group has an internal policy setting out  
the rules for selecting vessels. These rules are based on the  
recommendations of the Oil Company International Marine Forum  
(OCIMF), an industry association consisting of the main global oil  
companies that promotes best practices in oil shipping, and on its  
Ship Inspection Report (SIRE) Program. TOTAL does not charter  
any single-hulled vessels for shipping hydrocarbons and the  
average age of the fleet chartered on time by TOTAL’s Shipping  
division is approximately six years

In addition, the Group has set up a crisis management process with  
a dedicated organization (also refer to point 4.3.1 of chapter 4) and  
a crisis management center at the head office to enable the  
management of two simultaneous crises. As part of this process,  
TOTAL regularly trains in crisis management on the basis of risk  
scenarios identified through analyses. In particular, the Group has  
response plans and procedures in place in the event of a  
hydrocarbon leak or spill. For accidental spills that reach the  
surface, oil spill contingency plans are regularly reviewed and tested  
during exercises. These plans are specific to each company or site  
and are adapted to their structure, activities and environment while  
complying with Group recommendations.  
TOTAL implements an active policy of avoiding, reducing, managing  
and monitoring the environmental footprint of its operations. As part  
of this policy, emissions are identified and quantified by environment  
(water, air and soil) so that appropriate measures can be taken to  
better control them.  
Water, air  
The Group’s operations generate emissions into the atmosphere  
from combustion plants and the various conversion processes and  
discharges into wastewater. In addition to complying with

applicable legislation, the Group’s companies actively pursue a  
policy aimed at reducing emissions. Sites use various reduction  
systems that include organizational measures (such as using  
– carrying out maintenance at appropriate intervals to minimize the  
risk of leaks;  
– overall monitoring of the environment to identify any soil and  
groundwater pollution; and  
predictive models to control peaks in SO emissions based on

In addition, a Group directive defines the following minimum  
requirements:  
Between 2013 and 2016, the Refining & Chemicals business  
segment partnered with Ondeo Industrial Solutions (Suez group) in  
the ambitious E4Water European project. Seven pilot research  
projects were conducted at TOTAL’s petrochemicals plant at the  
Normandy platform. A 1.2 million budget was allocated to test  
three water treatment processes (wastewater from the site’s water  
treatment plant, cooling water and cooling blowdown). Pertinent  
technologies were identified to reduce pollutants and water  
consumption. These technologies could be installed, where  
necessary, to reduce the water footprint of facilities.  
systematic identification of each site’s environmental and health  
impacts related to possible soil and groundwater contamination;  
assessment of soil and groundwater contamination based on  
various factors (extent of pollution inside or outside the site’s  
boundaries, nature and concentrations of pollutants, presence of  
a vector that could allow the pollution to migrate, use of the land  
and groundwater in and around the site); and  
management of health or environmental impacts identified based  
on the use of the site (current or future, if any) and the risk  
acceptability criteria recommended by the World Health  
Organization (WHO) and the Group.  
Chronic emissions into

Lastly, decommissioned Group facilities (i.e., chemical plants,  
service stations, mud pits or lagoons resulting from hydrocarbon  
extraction operations, wasteland on the site of decommissioned  
refinery units, etc.) impact the landscape and may, despite all the  
precautions taken, be sources of chronic or accidental pollution.  
TOTAL has a site remediation policy with the aim to, in agreement  
with the authorities; allow new operations to be set up once the  
future use of the land has been determined. These remediation  
operations are conducted by the Group’s specialized entities.  
The Group’s provisions for the protection of the environment  
and site remediation are detailed in Note 12 to the Consolidated  
Financial Statements (point 7 of chapter 10).

2.2.4. Circular economy  
Soil  
The risks of soil pollution related to TOTAL’s operations come  
mainly from accidental spills (refer to point 2.2.2 of this chapter) and  
waste storage (see below).  
TOTAL announced in February 2017 a circular economy action plan  
covering the 2017-2020 period which comprises five commitments  
(purchasing, waste, new ranges of polymers, solarization of service  
stations and improvement of energy efficiency).  
The Group’s approach to preventing and controlling these types of  
pollution is based on four cornerstones:  
preventing leaks, by implementing industry best practices in  
engineering, operations and transport;  
Registration Document 2016. TOTAL

Safety, health and environment information  
Waste prevention and management  
To determine which facilities are most affected by the availability of  
fresh water, TOTAL monitors its water withdrawals and discharges  
across all of its sites.  
The Group’s companies are focused on controlling the waste  
produced at every stage in their operations. This commitment is  
based on the following four principles, listed in decreasing order of  
priority:  
TOTAL identifies the levels of risk of its sites that withdraw more  
than 500,000 m³ per year and are located in areas potentially  
exposed to water resource risks, using the Local Water Tool (LWT)  
from the Global Environmental Management Initiative (GEMI).  
This tool also helps to guide the actions taken to mitigate these risks  
in order to make optimal use of water resources on these sites.  
1
. reducing waste at source by designing products and processes  
that generate as little waste as possible, as well as minimizing the  
quantity of waste produced by the Group’s operations;  
. reusing products for a similar purpose in order to prevent them  
from becoming waste;  
2
Since 2016, the level of water risk was assessed on 11 Group sites:  
8 Refining & Chemicals sites and 3 Exploration & Production sites.  
This assessment will gradually be extended to 13 more priority sites  
that have already been identified. A plan to optimize the use of  
water resources on these sites may be drawn up, depending on the  
nature of the risks and impacts.  
3. recycling residual waste; and  
4. recovering energy, wherever possible, from non-recycled  
products.  
A Group directive sets out the minimum requirements related to  
waste management. It is carried out in four basic stages: waste  
identification (technical and regulatory); waste storage (soil  
protection and discharge management); waste traceability, from  
production through to disposal (e.g., notes, logs, statements); and  
waste treatment, with technical and regulatory knowledge of the  
relevant processes, under the site’s responsibility.  
For example, in Exploration & Production operations, reinjecting  
water extracted along with hydrocarbons (known as produced  
water) back into the original reservoir is one of the methods used  
to maintain reservoir pressure. The technical specifications in force  
in the Group stipulate that this option be prioritized over other  
methods. The Group’s R&D programs make it possible to examine  
the best techniques for treating this produced water so as to  
facilitate its reinjection or consider its recovery and otherwise  
discharge it into the natural environment while respecting natural  
and regulatory constraints.  
On its sites, TOTAL deploys programs to valorize (recycling  
and valorization) more than half of the Group’s waste by 2020.  
Moreover, TOTAL is especially committed to managing and treating  
waste classified as hazardous. Due to its nature, hazardous waste  
is mainly treated outside the Group by specialized companies

87 kt in 2016, compared to 202 kt in 2015 and 223 kt in 2014).  
Approximately 80% of the fresh water withdrawals were taken from  
the Refining & Chemicals segment in 2016. At refineries and  
petrochemicals sites, water is mainly used to produce steam and  
for cooling units. Increasing recycling and replacing water cooling  
with air cooling, such as at the Normandy (France) and Antwerp  
This decrease can be explained by a continuous waste production

at Gonfreville as part of the E4Water program.  
Efforts to optimize water risk management tools are being made  
both internally, with the LWT (used as a multi-site dash board), and  
externally, via the IPIECA, which is developing an e-learning module  
to extend and facilitate access to these tools.

TOTAL is aware of these challenges and takes water resources into

The increase in water withdrawals between 2014 and 2015 was

Hydrocarbons, the Group’s main raw material, are a form of energy.  
Losses of this raw material are divided mainly into 4 categories:  
safety or operational gas flaring (point 2.3.4 of this chapter); cold  
venting (point 2.3.4 of this chapter); hydrocarbons discharged in  
very low quantities through aqueous effluents, which amounted to

758 t in 2016; and accidental oil spills (point 2.2.2 of this chapter).  
These raw material losses remain negligible with respect to the  
Group’s production in 2016.  
The Group made a commitment not to engage in oil and gas  
exploration or extraction operations at natural sites included on the  
UNESCO World Heritage List of June 4, 2013. In the Democratic  
Republic of the Congo, TOTAL made the commitment to not carry  
out any exploration activity in the Virunga National Park, partly  
located in Block III of the Graben Albertine. Since 2017, the Group  
publishes the list of its licenses in the Arctic zone on its web site,  
and TOTAL does not conduct any exploration activities of oil fields  
under sea ice in polar areas.  
2.2.5. Protecting biodiversity and ecosystems  
Due to their nature, the Group’s activities, and particularly its  
Exploration & Production activities, may be located in sensitive  
natural environments. TOTAL’s operations can therefore have an  
impact on ecosystems and their biodiversity.  
To develop its projects located in sensitive habitats, TOTAL  
developed, based on the sensitivity and impact analysis, a  
Biodiversity Action Plan for Group operated sites located in the  
most sensitive protected areas corresponding to IUCN I to IV or  
Ramsar categories. The two biodiversity action plans developed in  
2015 in Gabon (Atora) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo  
(Djeno) are currently being deployed. Other plans will be launched  
in the short term, in particular in Italy (the Tempa Rossa project), or  
in the medium term in Uganda and Papua New Guinea.  
TOTAL is aware of these challenges and takes biodiversity and  
ecosystems into account in its guidelines and operations:  
in the Safety Health Environment Quality Charter, which specifies  
that TOTAL “is committed to managing (…) its use of natural  
resources and its impact on biodiversity” and ecosystems; and  
in the biodiversity approach, set within the Group’s environmental  
framework, which incorporates the following core principles for  
action:  
The Group actively contributes to the development of best practices  
related to biodiversity and ecosystem management in the extractive  
industry through its partnerships with IPIECA, the Cross-Sector  
Biodiversity Initiative (which brings together the Equator Principles  
signatory banks and the mining and oil industries), the United  
Nation Environment Program’s World Conservation Monitoring

. deploy the mitigation hierarchy “avoid – mitigate –  
compensate: TOTAL applies this approach for the duration  
of its projects’ lifecycle to minimize the impact of its activities  
on biodiversity,  
. take into consideration the sensitivity of ecosystems:  
In the course of its business, TOTAL identifies and takes into  
account the diversity and sensitivity of various environments in  
terms of biodiversity,  
. manage biodiversity: TOTAL incorporates the biodiversity  
impact and risk management into its environmental  
management systems and refers to good practices within the  
industry,  
(UNEP-WCMC) and other work groups on biodiversity bringing  
together stakeholders from beyond the private sector, such as the  
Business and Biodiversity Offset Program (BBOP), which includes  
international NGOs, governments, universities, the World Bank, etc.  
In France, TOTAL continues its partnership with the Fondation  
pour la Recherche sur la Biodiversité (Foundation for biodiversity  
research) and the Centre Vétérinaire de la Faune Sauvage et des  
Ecosystèmes des Pays de la Loire (France).  
2.3. Climate change

economic merit order, which incorporates their resistance to low  
price scenarios;  
developing the solar energy offer as the renewable energy of  
choice in the evolution of the energy mix, as well as the  
production of biofuels from biomass;  
improving the energy efficiency of the Group’s facilities, products  
and services, and maintaining efforts to reduce direct emissions  
of greenhouse gases (GHG);  
increasing access to more sustainable energy, for as many  
people as possible, particularly by means of an innovative solar  
energy solution; and  
The Group’s strategy incorporates the challenges of climate change,  
using as a point of reference the 2°C scenario of the International  
Energy Agency (IEA) and its impact on energy markets. TOTAL’s  
challenge is to increase access to affordable energy to satisfy the  
needs of a growing population, while providing concrete solutions  
to help limit the effects of climate change and supplying its clients with  
an energy mix featuring a progressively decreasing carbon intensity.  
TOTAL focuses its action around the following priority areas:  
stimulating initiatives in the oil and gas sector and supporting the  
implementation of an international framework on climate.

Safety, health and environment information  
In 2016, the Group acquired the Belgian company Lampiris in line  
with the goal to expand over the entire gas value chain until the end  
customer. Within a few years, Lampiris became the third-largest  
supplier(1) of natural gas, green power and energy services (e.g.,  
insulation, boiler maintenance, wood and pellets for heating, smart  
thermostats) in the Belgian market and is starting to extend its business  
in France. In 2016, the Group also entered the complementary energy  
storage segment with the acquisition of the company Saft Groupe  
specializing in high-technology batteries (refer to point 2.3.2.3  
of chapter 2). Energy storage is an essential complement to the  
development of intermittent renewable energies.  
2.3.3. Developing renewable energies  
For some 15 years, TOTAL has been committed to developing  
renewable energies. The Group’s activities in this area are set out in  
point 2.3.2 of chapter 2.  
The Group’s priority strategic development is solar energy, in  
particular through its interest in SunPower (56.73% owned by the  
Group as of December 31, 2016). SunPower is involved in the  
design and manufacture of photovoltaic cells, the construction of  
large turnkey solar power plants and the marketing of integrated  
energy solutions facilitating decentralized electricity generation.  
In November 2016, TOTAL launched a 5-year program to equip  
2.3.1. The role of gas  
5,000 service stations across the world with photovoltaic panels,  
The percentage of natural gas in the Group’s production rose from  
approximately 35% in 2005 to nearly 48% in 2016, and, taking  
account of market developments, this percentage is expected to  
increase over the coming years.  
including 800 in France. The project corresponds to an installed  
capacity of around 200 MW, equivalent to the electricity used by a  
city with a population of 200,000.  
In addition to solar energy, biomass is TOTAL’s second strategic  
development area in the field of renewable energies. In general,  
biomass represents approximately 10% of worldwide energy  
consumption and is mostly used for heating or cooking purposes.  
Biomass is the only directly substitutable renewable alternative to  
fossil resources for the provision of liquid fuel for transport  
(biodiesel, bioethanol, biokerosene), lubricants and base molecules  
for chemicals (solvents or polymers).  
The Group believes in the essential role of natural gas as one of the  
solutions to climate change issues. Replacing coal with natural gas  
at power plants could help reduce worldwide CO emissions by  
2
5
Bt/y, i.e., approximately 10% of world emissions(2). Strengthening  
the position of gas in the energy mix must however be accompanied  
by a greater focus on control of methane emissions. To preserve  
the advantage that gas offers in terms of GHG emissions compared  
to coal for electricity generation, it is necessary to reduce methane  
emissions associated with the production and transportation of gas.  
TOTAL also invests in startups working on ways to reduce direct  
GHG emissions into the atmosphere by other means. For example,  
through its venture capital fund Total Energy Ventures (TEV), the  
Group supports the development of companies offering innovative  
technologies or business models in such areas as renewable  
energies, energy efficiency, energy storage and sustainable mobility.  
For instance, in 2016, TEV acquired a stake in Off-Grid Electric and  
PowerHive, suppliers of electricity produced by solar energy in  
African rural areas that have no or poor grid connection.  
TOTAL’s methane emissions specifically associated with gas  
production are less than 0.5% of the Group’s marketed operated  
gas production. Improving measurement of these emissions and their  
reduction is a priority for TOTAL in terms of environmental impact.  
On this basis, since 2014 the Group has been a member of the  
partnership between governments and industrial companies for the  
improvement of tools to measure and control methane emissions  
set up by the Climate and Clean Air Coalition and promoted by the  
UN Environment Programme and the non-profit organization  
Environmental Defense Fund. The Group has also committed, via  
the Oil & Gas Climate Initiative (refer to point 2.3.6 of this chapter),  
to strengthening its action in this area.  
2.3.4. Energy efficiency and ecoperformance  
In its scope of activities, TOTAL has made reducing GHG emissions  
one of its priorities. The Group exceeded its objective of reducing  
GHG emissions from its operated activities by 15% from 2008  
to 2015. The reduction of GHG emissions entails reducing flaring  
and improving energy efficiency.  
2.3.2. Project selection  
(a)  
In its strategy for growth, TOTAL prioritizes its projects by focusing  
on assets with moderate production and processing costs, while  
respecting the highest safety and environment standards.

Moreover, with respect to coal, the Group ceased all production  
activity in 2015 and all marketing activity in 2016. In 2016, the Group  
withdrew from a project involving construction of a coal-based  
facility, coal-to-olefins, in China.

Reducing flaring  
Since 2010, energy efficiency has already improved by more than 9%.  
Reducing routine flaring has been a long-standing goal of the  
Group, with a commitment made in 2000 to have no continuous  
flaring of associated gas incorporated into the design of its new  
projects. Furthermore, the Group has supported the World Bank in  
developing and launching the Zero Routine Flaring initiative  
involving oil & gas companies, producing countries and international  
institutions. The initiative aims to support elimination of routine  
flaring by 2030. To ensure progression, an objective to decrease by  
In addition to the mandatory audits conducted in Europe as per  
transposition of the European Energy Efficiency Directive  
2012/27/EU, the Group is implementing energy management  
systems based on ISO 50001. After the Leuna refinery and the  
Brunsbüttel bitumen plant (Germany), which have been certified for  
several years, the French energy-intensive refining and  
petrochemicals sites are preparing for ISO 50001 certification  
supported by the Group’s energy services subsidiary BHC. The  
certification audits are scheduled in 2017.  
80% has been defined for 2020 compared to 2010, in other words  
to achieve an average of 1.5 Mm³/d. TOTAL has already reduced  
routine flaring on its operated facilities by about 77% between 2010  
and 2016.  
Several Marketing & Services sites in France obtained ISO50001  
certification in 2015: the Solaize research center, the Saint-Martin-  
d’Hères site, along with 7 depots and 193 service stations. In  
Exploration & Production, Total ABK (Abu Dhabi) also obtained this  
certification in early 2016.  
Furthermore, as part of the Global Gas Flaring Reduction program,  
TOTAL has worked alongside the World Bank for over 10 years to  
help producing countries and industrial players control routine  
flaring of associated gas.  
TOTAL uses the most appropriate architectures and equipment and  
introduces technological innovations. For example, on offshore  
production barges, offshore platforms and onshore facilities, heat  
recovery systems at gas turbine exhausts have been implemented  
thereby avoiding the need for furnaces or boiler systems. For some  
offshore projects, such as Martin Linge (Hild) in the Norwegian  
North Sea, an “all-electric” facility has been put in place. Electricity  
is produced onshore then transported undersea to the platform,  
resulting in higher efficiency compared to electricity generated on  
an onshore platform.

Improving the energy efficiency of the Group’s facilities  
Improving the environmental  
footprint of products and services  
One of the Group’s performance targets is to better control energy  
consumption. Internal documents (roadmaps and guides) describe  
the challenges and set out methodologies and action plans. Since  
the beginning of 2013, a Group directive has defined the requirements  
to be met at operated sites using more than 50,000 tons of oil  
equivalent per year of primary energy (approximately 40 sites). At  
year-end 2016, 83% of the concerned sites have reported compliance  
or engaged the actions to meet compliance with this directive.  
Approximately 85% of GHG related to the use of oil and gas are  
emitted during the customer usage phase, compared to 15%  
during the production phase(1). For this reason, in addition to the  
measures taken by TOTAL at its industrial sites, the Group believes  
that improving the environmental footprint of its products is a key  
factor in the fight against climate change.  
The Group offers its customers solutions (products and services) for  
responsible energy use. In terms of energy services, TOTAL draws  
in particular on the know-how of its Tenag joint venture in Germany  
(49% owned) and BHC Energy in France acquired in 2014. These  
service companies work mainly for European customers, as well as  
in Africa and the Middle East. They use results obtained in-house to  
give industrial customers advice on improving their performance  
and energy efficiency.  
Energy efficiency is a key factor for improvement of economic,  
environmental and industrial performance. Since 2013 the Group  
has used a Group Energy Efficiency Index (GEEI) to assess its  
performance in this area. It consists of a combination of energy  
intensity ratios (ratio of net primary energy consumption to the level  
of activity) per business.  
The Group’s objective for the 2010-2020 period is to improve the  
energy efficiency of its operated facilities by on average 1% per  
year. By design, the base value of the GEEI was defined as 100 in  
Through the “Total Ecosolutions” program, the Group is also  
developing innovative products and services that perform above  
market standards on the environmental front, in particular in terms  
of reducing energy use, GHG emissions and the impact on human  
health. At year-end 2016, 96 products and services bore the “Total  
Ecosolutions” label. They relate to a variety of sectors, including  
mobility, agriculture, buildings, packaging, infrastructure and  
industrial manufacturing. Some of the products result in reduced  
energy consumption, such as Total Excellium fuel, Total Quartz Fuel  
2010 and the goal is to reach 90.4 in 2020.

immediately available and offers the necessary flexibility to electric  
networks, supplementing intermittent energies. As a result, TOTAL  
supports standards that impose emission ceilings on electricity  
generation, such as those in force in the United Kingdom.  
In addition to its efforts on facilities and solutions offered to its  
customers, since 2012 the Group has provided support for its  
employees in France on improving the energy efficiency of their  
homes through advice and help with the necessary investment.  
Since the beginning of this offer, 2,167 energy renovation works  
were supported by the Group and in 2016 5,300 packs of five LED  
bulbs were distributed free to employees.  
In 2014, TOTAL was actively involved in launching and developing  
the Oil & Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI), a global industry partnership.  
At year-end 2016, this initiative involves 10 major international energy  
players. Its purpose is to share experiences, advance technological  
solutions and catalyze meaningful action in order to assist the  
evolution of the energy mix in a manner that takes into account  
climate change issues. In 2016, the OGCI worked in particular on  
CCUS and on reducing methane emissions. In November 2016,  
at a panel discussion with international energy and climate experts,  
the executives of the member companies published the second  
OGCI report also announcing the creation of an investment fund  
of $1 billion over 10 years. This OGCI Climate Investments fund will  
finance startups and projects demonstrating high potential in terms  
of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Initial priority will be given  
to deploying large-scale solutions for CCUS, reducing methane  
emissions throughout the gas value chain in order to increase its  
development, and improving energy efficiency, in both transport  
and industry.  
Progressing in carbon capture, usage  
and storage technologies  
Development of carbon capture usage and storage technologies  
(CCUS) has been a long-standing Group commitment, in particular  
through its Lacq pilot project conducted from 2010 to 2013 (oxy-  
combustion capture and storage in a depleted reservoir). The  
Group systematically studies opportunities to re-inject the CO2  
contained in the deposits it exploits and is looking at use of CO to  
2
improve hydrocarbon recovery. Building on these experiences,  
TOTAL believes it is important to continue its R&D efforts in various  
fields including maturity of capture technologies, availability and  
location of storage capacities, CO usage, technical feasibility on  
2
the scale needed and reducing costs of technologies. With this goal  
in mind, TOTAL intends to devote up to 10% of its R&D investments  
to CCUS and has initiated work alongside its peers, within the  
Oil & Gas Climate Initiative, on the issues of marketability, capture  
technologies and world storage capacities.  
TOTAL is the technical partner of the Breakthrough Energy Coalition  
(a $1 billion fund), and in this capacity should help identify investment  
priorities and evaluate viable technologies.  
TOTAL also actively participates in the debate on climate issues  
and has long-term partnerships with key stakeholders. For example,  
TOTAL funds research programs in France conducted by the ADEME,  
Paris-Saclay and the Climate Economics Chair at Paris-Dauphine  
University, as well as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

2.3.7. Adapting to climate change  
In 2014, TOTAL decided to join the call of the UN Global Compact,  
The Group ensures that it assesses the vulnerability of its facilities  
to climate hazards so that the consequences do not affect the  
integrity of the facilities, or the safety or people. More generally,  
natural hazards (climate hazards but also seismic risks, tsunami  
risks, subsidence, etc.) are taken account of in the design of  
industrial facilities enabling them to withstand normal and extreme  
conditions. The Group routinely assesses the possible consequences  
of climate change for its future projects. The assessments include a  
review for each hazard type (sea level, storms, temperature, permafrost,  
etc.) and consider the lifespan of projects and their capacity to  
progressively adapt. Studies conducted have not identified any  
facilities that are not able to withstand the currently known  
consequences of climate change.  
which encourages companies to consider a CO price internally and  
2
publicly support the importance of such a price via regulation  
mechanisms suited to the local context. TOTAL also works  
alongside the World Bank as part of the Carbon Pricing Leadership  
Coalition (CPLC): in 2016 the Group was appointed co-chair of one  
of the CPLC working groups (Convening Leadership). In particular,  
TOTAL advocates the emergence of a balanced, progressive  
international agreement that prevents the distortion of competition  
between industries or regions of the world. Drawing attention to  
future constraints on GHG emissions is crucial to changing the  
energy mix. TOTAL therefore encourages the setting of a worldwide  
price for each ton of carbon emitted, while ensuring fair treatment  
of “sectors exposed to carbon leakage” (as defined by the EU). To  
this end, six oil & gas industry leaders, including the Group’s  
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, called for the setting up of  
carbon pricing mechanisms at the UN Framework Convention on  
Climate Change in June 2015.

3. Societal information  
3.1. A structured societal approach  
This approach, which is deployed in direct relation with industrial or  
commercial operations, guides the actions taken by the Group to  
improve the way it is integrated into local territories. In line with the  
strategic priorities defined by the General Management, annual  
reporting tools are used to track and monitor overall societal  
performance. Several indicators, which are based on the societal  
policy, measure the quality of dialogue with stakeholders, the  
management of the impact of the Group’s activities, socioeconomic  
development projects and access to energy. Four topics have been  
identified as Group priorities: education, employment, road safety  
and access to energy.  
On the basis of the values and principles set out in its Code of  
Conduct and Safety Health Environment and Quality Charter, TOTAL  
places its commitment to community development at the heart of  
its corporate responsibility in order to create shared value with  
people living near its facilities, its customers and suppliers, and its  
employees. Dialogue with stakeholders, impact management and  
the creation of value are the pillars of the Group’s societal policy.  
3.2. Dialogue and involvement with stakeholders  
In addition to holding regulatory forums for dialogue,  
Refining & Chemicals has voluntarily set up structures for dialogue  
with local stakeholders (such as Community Advisory Panels in the  
United States and special commissions for some European  
platforms). In application of the worldwide Responsible Care®  
voluntary charter covering the scope of its worldwide petrochemical  
activities, Refining & Chemicals consults its stakeholders in order to  
understand their concerns and offer an appropriate response.  
Openness, dialogue and engagement are essential for developing  
long-term, constructive and transparent relations with stakeholders.  
For the past 20 years or so, changes in the regulatory framework  
have promoted information, consultation and dialogue prior to high-  
impact decisions being made.  
In addition to complying with regulations, TOTAL encourages dialog  
at every level of its organization. The Group societal directive  
demands that “each asset must consult its stakeholders regularly to  
gain a clearer understanding of their expectations and concerns,  
measure their level of satisfaction regarding the Group and identify  
avenues of improvement for its societal strategy”.  
3.2.2. Implementation of the SRM+ tool  
To put its societal approach on a professional footing, TOTAL has  
applied its internal Stakeholder Relationship Management (SRM+)  
methodology since 2006. The aim is to identify and map out the  
main stakeholders and the societal issues in the local context, to  
meet the stakeholders, understand their views and issues, and then  
define an action plan for building a long-term trusting relationship.  
These discussions allow the Group to better address the expectations  
of the stakeholders and consolidate the societal strategy of the  
subsidiaries and sites. Since 2006, SRM+ has been implemented in  
over 100 entities, and the deployment will continue in 2016:  
3.2.1. Stakeholder consultation  
In Exploration & Production, dialogue is initiated within the  
framework of societal baseline studies carried out to identify  
at a very early stage (even before the start of operational activities)  
stakeholders that may potentially be affected and to understand the  
human socioeconomic context of the area in question. The Community  
Liaison Officer (CLO) maintains a dialogue between the subsidiary  
and the local communities. CLOs, who are employees of TOTAL  
and come from the local community and therefore speak the local  
language and understand local customs; as such they often play  
a key role in facilitating the Company’s integration into the local  
context. To formalize and organize relations with stakeholders,  
agreements may also be signed and meetings held, such as public  
consultations.  
at Exploration & Production, the SRM+ method was rolled out on  
the site in Pau, France as part of an initiative to optimize the  
portfolio of societal actions deployed all over the country;  
at Refining & Chemicals, the SRM+ was deployed on three sites  
in 2016: the Flanders site and the Normandy (France) and  
Antwerp (Belgium) platforms; and  
at Marketing & Services, a specific module, developed in 2012,  
has now been deployed in 80% of the countries covered,  
including Costa Rica, Singapore, Sierra Leone and the  
Netherlands in 2016.  
For example in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, two societal  
officers were hired to work shifts and remain present seven days a  
week, with the support of four CLOs recruited from the impacted  
communities, in readiness for a seismic campaign launched at the  
start of 2016. Six additional CLOs were recruited by the contractor  
in charge of the seismic campaign in order to maintain permanent  
dialogue with the communities.

.2.3. Respecting the rights of indigenous peoples  
torch to another position, so that the funereal remains could be  
buried on the spot where they were found. In 2015, International  
Alert (IA), a British NGO that specializes in finding and supporting  
peaceful solutions to conflicts, conducted an impact assessment  
on human rights and the risks of conflict. IA drew up  
recommendations with a view to better integrating respect of  
human rights into the management of the project and to improve  
dialogue with local communities, by taking the cultural dimension  
into consideration. The report is available online.  
TOTAL acknowledges the specificities of indigenous and tribal  
peoples (as referred to in International Labor Organization’s  
Convention No. 169) and has developed a Charter of Principles and  
Guidelines Regarding Indigenous and Tribal Peoples to be followed  
with communities that are in contact with its subsidiaries. This  
Charter encourages the use of experts in order to identify and  
understand these peoples’ expectations and specificities, consult  
with them and contribute to their socioeconomic development.  
Additionally, an internal team of professionals from the social and  
natural sciences was recruited to initiate a participative approach  
and to establish dialogue with local actors at the earliest possible  
stage. The initial societal baseline survey, which was launched in  
August 2015 and involved several meetings with local organizations  
and all the affected communities, defined a framework of respect  
for the stakeholders, of information, dialogue and coordination that  
was given to every organization. These efforts to establish a dialogue  
reached more than 2,500 people, of whom 36% were women.  
In Bolivia, the societal and environmental situation of the Azero  
Block (indigenous communities and a national park) prompted the  
Total E&P Bolivia subsidiary to put an even greater focus on human  
rights in the execution of the project and to improve dialogue with  
the local communities. The discovery of remains and archaeological  
tools during the construction of the Incahuasi gas treatment plant,  
located on the territory of the Guarani indigenous people, was  
managed in collaboration with the Bolivian authorities and the local  
Guarani communities. TOTAL agreed to move the treatment plant’s  
3.3. Controlling the impact of the Group’s activities  
The Group developed the MOST (Management Operational Societal  
Tool) tool that allows users to manage stakeholder relations, site-related  
grievances and societal projects. Specific modules (access to land,  
compensation and employment) can be added to this common  
framework. Societal data is geo-referenced, with automatic display  
in a geographic information system. MOST generates reports that  
serve as a basis for the analysis of societal performance. Using this  
tool, a new version of which was released in 2016, is part of the  
process to raise the standards of professionalism of the local teams.  
In 2016, the tool was deployed in three new countries (Angola,  
Argentina and Papua New Guinea), bringing to 15 the number of  
subsidiaries of Exploration & Production that use the tool.  
The societal initiative is integrated into operational processes using  
the internal H3SE management system (occupational health and  
safety, security, societal commitment and the environment), known  
as MAESTRO (Management And Expectations Standards Towards  
Robust Operations). Audits conducted with MAESTRO give rise to  
recommendations and strengthen efforts in order to better manage  
the Group’s operations.  
3.3.1. Conducting impact assessments  
An understanding of the socioeconomic context is gained through  
a baseline study, which is generally accompanied by a consultation  
phase involving local stakeholders.  
3.3.2. Handling grievances from local communities  
The grievance mechanism was reinforced in 2016 in preparation for  
its gradual introduction at all the Group’s subsidiaries and sites.  
These societal studies, which are a systematic prerequisite for  
Exploration & Production projects, are made before any start-up of  
operations in an effort to avoid, reduce, compensate or remedy any  
negative impacts. For example, in Egypt dialogue was established  
by local consultants in the course of the initial societal baseline  
studies conducted, at the end of 2015, before the drilling of the  
onshore exploration licenses (Block 2, Block NEMO) of the Nile  
Delta, and through a number of interviews in a 50 km² zone around  
the exploration well close to a hamlet, in early 2016.  
At Exploration & Production, a manual on the handling of  
grievances, inspired by the UN Guiding Principles on  
Business & Human Rights, has been available since 2013. For  
example, Total E&P RDC has taken several preventive measures  
related to human rights. The mechanism to handle grievances  
includes an escalation system for any grievances or incidents that  
could have consequences for human rights.  
At Refining & Chemicals, grievance handling systems are in place  
on every platform. Certain issues may be addressed with the  
support of the stakeholders. For example, a program was set up  
to monitor odors near an industrial park, thanks to the participation  
of NGOs and volunteers. A panel of “noses” were trained in the  
characterization of odors, which were monitored for a one-year  
observation period. The findings were collected and the results  
were presented at a discussion meeting with the stakeholders.  
Some 360 responses to a questionnaire from these villages and  
hamlets led to a better understanding of the societal and the  
socioeconomic context of the zone. In addition, 20 discussion  
groups (men and women were usually separated to make it easier  
for everyone to voice their opinions) and 32 interviews with  
stakeholders were organized. This dialogue continued as part of the  
societal impact assessment, which analyzed the potential impacts  
and defined mitigation measures. The recommendations were then  
included in the specifications for the drilling contractor. Furthermore,  
replacement farm land was made available in May 2016 for more  
than one year.  
At Marketing & Services, a guide to raise awareness of grievance  
management has been available since 2014 to allow the subsidiaries  
and operating sites to introduce a dedicated system separate from  
the one used to handle commercial complaints. This mechanism  
was incorporated into Marketing & Service’s societal framework.

.3.3. Improving road safety  
intended to strengthen its impact, in particular by involving local  
stakeholders in the identification of changes to road layouts around  
schools. TOTAL hopes to build a network of excellence, made up  
of highly motivated schools and competent partners that will turn  
everyone into an ambassador of road safety. The system aims to  
make 200,000 children more aware every year. For several years  
now, TOTAL has been deploying a game-based and educational  
cube-shaped tool designed by TOTAL for teachers (the “Cube  
Sécurité”) that is also easy to use in communities. Some 750  
schools worldwide already use this cube, and 1,000 more cubes  
will be distributed in 2017.  
Safety is one of TOTAL’s values (refer to point 2.1 in this chapter,  
which covers the safety of employees and transport contractors).  
Road safety in particular is a global issue that is right at the heart of  
the Group’s business, and one of the top priorities of its societal action.  
The Group’s ambition to actively take part in the reduction in the  
numbers of victims of road accidents is reflected by the numerous  
actions taken as part of the United Nations Decade of Action for  
Road Safety (2011 – 2020), of which TOTAL is a partner. In 2016,  
the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer restated the Group’s  
commitment by joining the high-level consultative group initiated by  
the International Automobile Federation, which has been tasked  
with uniting leaders from all over the world in the promotion of  
innovative solutions to the challenge of road safety. In this context,  
the Group took part in the first study mission in Myanmar, intended  
to establish a baseline in order to propose a national road safety  
action plan to the country’s authorities.  
Other local initiatives for two-wheelers are also being deployed in  
Asia, and in particular the “Prends soin de toi aussi bien que de ta  
monture” campaign, focusing on the importance of wearing a  
helmet and proper maintenance. TOTAL is continuing its actions to  
bring the public and private sectors on board through the Safe Way  
Right Way platforms designed to mobilize partners, raise funds,  
develop training and awareness-raising actions, or to contribute to  
improving the regulations and their application along two major  
highways between Kenya and Uganda on one hand, and in  
Cameroon on the other.  
The Group is also a member of the Global Road Safety Partnership  
(GRSP), which aims to encourage the development of multi-sector  
partnerships that will spread good practices on the road all over the  
world. In 2016, the Group continued to support the seminars  
organized by the GRSP in Beijing (China) in May, and in Durban  
In 2016, in France, TOTAL and 20 other major companies signed  
the national appeal in favor of road safety and work, initiated by the  
Ministry of the Interior, which aims to engage with businesses with a  
view to reinforcing prevention amongst employees through  
concrete commitments. Since 1995, TOTAL has been a partner of  
the “10 de Conduite Jeune” training campaign for young drivers in  
cooperation with the French national police, Groupama and  
Renault. Each year, this initiative raises awareness among more  
than 10,000 junior and secondary school students of dangerous  
behavior on the road.  
(South Africa) in October, that were attended by experts and  
players in road safety from Asia and Africa respectively.  
The GRSP is also helping TOTAL to improve its “En route pour ta  
Sécurité” flagship program, intended to raise children’s awareness  
of dangers on the road. Developed in 2012, this game-based  
educational program has been deployed in 37 countries in Africa  
and the Middle East, and in 8 Asian countries, reaching out to more  
than 700,000 children. A study conducted with the GRSP identified  
paths of improvement and produced a methodological guide  
3.4. Creating local value  
The Group has a special responsibility towards communities living  
in the vicinity of its facilities, and strives to turn its activities into  
sources of value and opportunity for them. TOTAL’s ambition is to  
act and be recognized as a partner in the sustainable economic  
and social development of the communities and territories where it  
operates, and as a standard-setter for access to energy.  
3.4.1. Acting as a partner for human, social and  
economic development  
TOTAL’s contribution to the socioeconomic and human  
development of the countries in which the Group operates is  
reflected in its involvement in local development programs.  
In 2016, 387 million was spent on societal projects, compared to  
TOTAL is building a global, integrated local development approach  
384 million in 2015 and 459 million in 2014. Certain expenses

are managed directly by host countries in application of contractual  
provisions, for example in Nigeria (Niger Delta Devlopment  
Committee) or in the Republic of the Congo (Provisions  
d’investissements diversifiés). In 2016, 3,000 societal actions were  
reported. These programs support local populations and fall into  
three main categories: local economic development, human and  
social development and citizenship.  
creating elements for host countries (infrastructure, support for local  
industries, employment, subcontracting, socioeconomic  
development projects, education, access to energy, etc.) by  
promoting the Group’s industrial know-how. This approach is  
reflected in two key strategies: on the one hand, the Group’s  
commitment to local content and, on the other hand, support for  
the implementation of socioeconomic programs, including in  
particular the implementation of access-to-energy programs.  
Two cross-functional priorities underlie these projects: partnerships  
and skills development. Built on constructive dialogue and the  
determination to forge long-term relationships of trust with  
stakeholders, partnerships with local institutions and organizations  
guarantee the long-term success of projects. In all its actions,  
TOTAL ensures that it respects local authorities’ prerogatives and

teams up with NGOs that have field experience. In the same vein,  
TOTAL promotes actions that help strengthen the ability of  
individuals and local bodies to organize their development  
independently in order to ensure sustainability.  
3.4.3. Boosting regional development  
and supporting major industrial changes  
to the Group’s platforms  
In addition to the jobs generated by its activities, the Group, as a  
responsible company, supports SMEs, particularly in France,  
through its Total Développement Régional (TDR) subsidiary. To help  
and support the economic development of SMEs and the regions,  
TOTAL has set up a program to examine applications for funding  
from French SMEs in accordance with the Group’s standards.  
The Group’s expertise is based on the continued professionalization  
of its societal teams through structuring projects, setting goals and  
monitoring performance indicators. At the Group’s head office, an  
individual is dedicated to relations with NGOs. At Exploration &  
Production, more than 400 people work in societal matters, over  
3
60 of which on a full-time basis. Several in-house training modules  
This support is a major element in TOTAL’s commitment to its  
industrial and economic responsibilities and takes a number of  
different forms within TDR that help create long-term jobs:

.4.2. Committing to local content  
– financial assistance for the setting up, development or takeover  
of SMEs in the form of loans;  
The Group is committed to increasing its use of local labor and  
subcontractors that meet the operational requirements of its  
activities, in particular through programs designed to train and  
support SMEs and important players in the local economy. TOTAL  
contributes to the diversification of the economy in the territories  
where it operates by supporting multiple local initiatives, with a  
particular emphasis on the improvement of skills and education.  
industrial conversion assistance alongside local development  
bodies; and  
assistance in the development of export activities and  
international trade, and help for innovative SMEs.  
Between 2014 and 2016, TDR has issued a total of 23.4 million in  
loans to 434 SME projects, thereby supporting nearly 8,000 jobs.  
To this end, Exploration & Production shifted from a local content  
approach (focused mainly on direct and indirect local employment)  
to an In-Country Value approach geared toward local value  
creation. The segment’s roadmap is centered on four main areas:  
publishing future industrial and manpower needs; using a unique  
supplier database for each subsidiary; developing a large-scale  
program for training technicians; and comprehensively studying  
local value creation. TOTAL participated in the development of the  
IPIECA “Local content strategy guide” and recently helped update  
this document.  
The Group relies on TDR for the local implementation of  
agreements signed with governmental authorities in connection  
with its industrial conversion projects. These included, for example,  
the conversion of the ICD platform in Dunkirk and the future Carling  
Saint-Avold and La Mède platform projects.  
To maintain industrial activities and jobs once refining operations at  
the Flanders facility end, two industrial projects are underway:  
construction of a dietary phosphate production plant by 2017  
(Ecophos), and construction of a pilot biodiesel and biofuel  
production plant in which the Group has a stake (BioTFuel). Overall,  
the 2012-2014 regional development framework agreement helped  
create or maintain 800 jobs.  
For example, in the Republic of the Congo, Total E&P Congo has  
had since 2012 an organization dedicated to the development of  
local content, which identifies and rates local companies that are  
potential subcontractors. The Moho Nord project introduced a plan  
for the compulsory use of local content by its international  
subcontractors and the local lower-level subcontractors. In a drive  
to favor the use of local labor, training plans were set up to improve  
the skills of the local workforce and to align them with the needs of  
the project: more than 200,000 hours of training for junior  
In Carling (France), the second steam cracker was permanently  
shut down in 2015. To adapt the platform and ensure its future by  
restoring its competitiveness, TOTAL invested 180 million in 2016  
in order to develop new activities in the growing hydrocarbon resins  
(Cray Valley) and polymers markets. TOTAL has made a  
commitment to implement this industrial conversion without any  
lay-offs and to fulfill all of its contractual obligations with its clients  
and partner companies, particularly through a support fund for  
subcontractors. In addition, TOTAL is committed to improving the  
Carling industrial platform’s attractiveness by developing a shared  
services offer, with the aim of helping new industrial stakeholders  
become established at the platform. In this way, TOTAL confirms its  
responsibility towards the employment areas in which the Group  
operates as well as its commitment to maintain a strong and  
sustainable industrial presence in the Lorraine region.  
managers working on the project, and more than 3,200 hours of  
training for 46 lecturers from technical and engineering universities.  
With respect to Marketing & Services, the first “Start-upper of the  
year by TOTAL” contest was organized in 34 African countries in  
2016. This pan-African contest aims to support young  
entrepreneurs from all backgrounds, and in all fields of activity. Of  
the 6,642 projects received, 102 winners were selected (three per  
country), including four continental prize-winners from Egypt,  
Nigeria, Senegal and Cameroon. The winning start-uppers receive  
funding, heightened visibility (with the “2016 start-upper of the year  
by TOTAL”) and business support for their project from the Group’s  
local subsidiaries and expert partners in the field selected by TOTAL.  
For the four continental winners, TOTAL works with Bon’Innov, an  
incubator for innovative projects with a strong economic and  
societal impact. In Africa and the Middle East, TOTAL is pursuing  
the “Young Dealers” program that aims to help young service  
station employees gain promotion to management positions.  
Plans to convert the La Mède refinery through an investment  
greater than 200 million are underway to create the first French  
bio-refinery, establish an 8 MW solar farm and set up a training  
center in partnership with the French Institute for Oil and New  
Energies. This project will be completed without any lay-offs.  
TDR is particularly involved in providing support to the subcontractors  
and putting the Group’s commitments into action.  
In Carling and La Mède, these commitments to local authorities  
have been set out in a Voluntary Agreement for Economic and  
Social Development, including Group support for SMEs (e.g.,  
subcontractors, loans to SMEs) and industrial initiatives (e.g.,  
improved platform structure and greater appeal, search and  
examination of third-party industrial projects).

.4.4. Supporting education  
3.4.5. Giving the most disadvantaged  
populations greater access to energy  
Education is key to creating shared value by helping host countries  
develop the skills of their young people and training the future  
employees that industry will need. TOTAL’s contributions to education  
are framed within existing local systems, adapted to local realities  
and always undertaken in the form of partnerships. In addition to  
support for primary and secondary education where needs have  
been identified, the Group’s educational initiatives are built around  
four core international programs: scholarships, partnerships with  
universities, teaching and research chairs, and professional training.  
For more than 10 years, several Group subsidiaries have been  
engaged in various one-off access-to-energy projects for low-  
income populations, usually in cooperation with neighboring  
communities and local authorities in host countries. To improve its  
societal performance, structure its approach and reach out to the  
widest possible audience, TOTAL aims to develop models that are  
both profitable and sustainable. For this reason, in 2010 the Group  
launched the “Total Access to Energy” program, a source of  
initiatives for identifying and testing solutions that facilitate access  
to energy for the poorest populations.  
TOTAL promotes the internationalization of its management, the  
recruitment of local personnel and their access to positions of  
responsibility, particularly within their original subsidiaries. To  
achieve this, the Group offers local, regional and international  
scholarships prior to recruitment. For example, since 2004, over  
Awango by Total, a new business model  
The first large-scale achievement to come out of this program,  
Awango by Total is a business response to a societal problem.  
This innovative, sustainable and reproducible business model offers  
a range of solar solutions for lighting and recharging small electrical  
appliances such as mobile phones.  
1,000 students from the Group’s host countries have been able to  
prepare for qualifications (doctorates, MBAs, Master’s degrees,  
engineering schools, bachelor’s degrees and university institutes of  
technology) at the best institutions, mainly in France.  
To help the companies recruit qualified local staff, TOTAL helps to  
strengthen the African continent’s universities by making the Group’s  
technical and scientific expertise available to them. Approximately  
Launched in 2011 in four pilot countries, this offer was sold in close  
to 50 countries in 2016, including 12 where it is currently being  
launched. By the end of 2016, nearly 1.8 million lamps had been  
sold, improving the day-to-day lives of nearly 9.5 million people.  
The distribution networks used are both TOTAL’s traditional  
networks (service stations) and “last mile” networks built with local  
partners to bring these solutions to isolated areas. Reseller networks  
are then set up and economic programs developed with the support  
of external partners to recruit and train young solar resellers.  
30 framework agreements have been signed with leading institutes  
of higher education, such as the 2IE Institute in Burkina Faso and  
the universities of Cape Town and Witwatersrand in South Africa.  
The university partnership program launched in Africa in 2010 has  
subsequently been deployed across Europe, Asia and the Middle East  
and now includes 80 establishments in regular dialogue with TOTAL.  
TOTAL lends its support to teaching and research chairs, and in  
particular research and innovation at 24 institutions, to address the  
needs of the business world.  
This model is based on innovative partnerships with various  
stakeholders : in 2016, approximately 50 business partnerships  
were launched with such varied stakeholders as NGOs,  
development agencies, professional customers (retailers, TOTAL  
key account customers, etc.), telecommunications operators or  
international organizations.  
In addition, professional training programs adapted to the needs of  
each country are organized in cooperation with local actors and  
allow trainees to obtain diplomas and recognized professional  
qualifications. These programs are complemented by “TOTAL  
associate teachers”. This original initiative is a non-profit association  
run by current or retired employees of the Group who teach  
courses free of charge in schools and universities. Over 250  
teachers give courses and lectures in oil-related fields. During the  
The Group’s goal is to further develop this program and reach out  
to 25 million people in Africa by 2020 by selling five million lamps in  
a continent that is at the core of TOTAL’s global strategy.  
Several new business models are being trialed. Two significant  
examples include:  
2015-2016 academic year, over 17,000 students throughout the  
world benefited from this expertise.  
– the development of solar kit and lamp ownership schemes on a  
pay-as-you-go or credit basis. The sale of a solar kit (several light  
sources, a flashlight, a radio and a cable for recharging a cell phone)  
worth approximately $100 to $150 is accompanied by a financing  
plan allowing customers to spread out their payments; and  
In 2016, the inaugural session of the Total Energy Summer School  
(TESS) was attended by 84 students, 40 teachers and researchers  
from around the world and 75 Group experts. The event included  
three days of workshops, in which participants addressed the  
future energy challenges facing science, industry, the economy,  
education and social responsibility. Some plenary sessions were  
streamed live or replayed at the Total Campus, the dedicated  
platform for students, to encourage the widest possible participation.  
the launch of the first crowdfunding platform to promote access  
to energy in partnership with Babyloan, a European leader in  
crowdfunding. This partnership aims to accelerate access to  
energy and related financing solutions, particularly in Africa, Asia  
and Latin America, where the need is greatest. This collaboration  
aims to support the creation of local microbusinesses that will  
develop distribution networks towards isolated communities and  
better address last mile distribution challenges. By the end of  
2016, three microfinancing institutions were qualified, two of  
which are operational on the platform, in Peru and Kenya. In  
Finally, to help provide access to education to as many people as  
possible, TOTAL broke new ground by contributing to the creation  
and distribution of a free massive open online course (MOOC) on  
the oil chain (entitled “Oil & Gas: from Exploration to Distribution”)  
a four-week online course taken by 21,800 participants.  
2017, 2,000 projects are expected to be financed in  
approximately 10 countries.

Foundation and the Fondation du Patrimoine (heritage foundation)  
renewed their partnership for the fourth time for the 2015-2017  
period. The partnership primarily focuses its activities on the  
rehabilitation of the country’s industrial, craft, port and maritime  
heritage converted for sociocultural purposes and on work sites  
designed to further professional training and social integration.  
Since 2006, over 180 projects, including 35 worksites for  
employment integration (or including social integration clauses), set  
up across France have received nearly 22 million in funding from  
this partnership. In 2016, 8 new worksites of this kind have been  
supported by Total Foundation for an amount of 795,000.  
In addition to the societal initiatives that are directly related to the  
Group’s industrial activities, TOTAL has also been committed for over  
20 years to taking general-interest measures in the countries where  
it has operations. These actions are essentially conducted by the  
Total Foundation and the Philanthropy Department of TOTAL S.A.

3.6. Contractors and suppliers  
The Fundamental Principles of Purchasing, launched in 2010 and  
formally set out in a Group directive in 2014, specify the  
commitments that TOTAL expects of its suppliers in the following  
areas: respect for human rights at work, health protection, assurance  
of safety and security, preservation of the environment, prevention  
of corruption, conflicts of interest and fraud, respect for competition  
law, as well as the promotion of economic and social development.  
TOTAL’s suppliers must be made aware of these rules, which apply  
to all the Group’s companies, by including or transposing them into  
the agreements concluded with these suppliers. These principles  
are available for consultation by all suppliers in both French and  
English on TOTAL’s website (under “Suppliers”).  
TOTAL’s activities generate hundreds of thousands of direct and  
indirect jobs worldwide. The Group’s purchases of goods and  
services (excluding oil products) represented approximately $34 billion  
worldwide in 2016. Approximately 25% of these expenditures were  
for goods (e.g., products, materials) and approximately 75% were  
for services (including consulting services, work with supply of materials  
and transport). The number of hours worked by subcontractors is  
monitored for large projects. This involves a range of environmental,  
social and societal impact concerns addressed by TOTAL when  
dealing with its suppliers via its principles, purchasing commitments  
and sustainable procurement initiatives.  
Questionnaires focused on environmental and societal issues are  
used to gather more in-depth information from suppliers about their  
approach to these subjects, either during qualification or as part of  
an audit. Supplier relations are also considered from an  
environmental and societal perspective on occasion as part of  
ethical assessments of Group subsidiaries and entities undertaken  
by GoodCorporation (refer to point 3.7.2 of this chapter) in all  
continents in which the Group is present. In 2016, TOTAL also  
signed a contract with an auditing firm specializing in working  
conditions with the aim of developing support for suppliers in this  
particular area. The first audits have been completed in 2016.  
TOTAL’s societal commitment is shared by the Group’s employees,  
partners, customers and suppliers, in particular by employing more  
local staff and subcontracting more work to local businesses  
wherever the operating constraints of its activities allow. The Group’s  
societal directive stipulates that purchasing processes must be  
adapted as required in cases where a societal action plan has been  
implemented.  
TOTAL has created a map of the CSR risks and opportunities in the  
Group’s main purchasing categories to identify key issues in three  
areas: ethics and human rights, environmental impact and the creation  
of value with local communities. Pilot projects were implemented in  
certain purchasing categories to integrate the monitoring of CSR  
aspects into the purchasing process through concrete measures:  
specific questionnaire focusing on the Fundamental Principles of  
Purchasing, drafting of suitable contract clauses, good practices  
factsheets for purchases from the disabled and sheltered  
In 2015, TOTAL signed an agreement with the worldwide trade  
union federation, IndustriALL Global Union, which marks a major  
step in TOTAL’s commitment as a responsible employer (refer to  
point 1.3 of this chapter). In addition, TOTAL is committed to  
disclosing and promoting the principles of this agreement to its  
service providers and suppliers.  
employment sectors, organization of a workshop with internal  
experts on the climate and energy efficiency in preparation of a  
global request for proposals on the air transportation of passengers,  
and creation of a guide for buyers on how to calculate the total cost  
of utilization (TCU) for support boat services and thereby assess  
commercial solutions with greater accuracy.  
The Group also pursued a number of one-off initiatives in 2016.  
For example, Marketing & Services held two awareness-raising  
sessions to train buyers on how to evaluate suppliers in terms of  
CSR, sustainable development and respect for human rights at work.  
The deployment of the anti-corruption policy in purchasing continued  
in 2016 with the dispatching of specific questionnaires to select  
suppliers and, in some cases, external controls. In 2015,  
3
.6.1. Monitoring responsible practices  
Refining & Chemicals ramped up the deployment of this policy and  
analyzed over 3,000 suppliers. Slightly more than 300 suppliers had  
to complete and sign a detailed questionnaire. This process  
continued in 2016 with over 800 suppliers analyzed and over 80  
questionnaires sent out. In parallele, an initiative was launched in 2014  
in which service providers working on Group sites were asked to take  
a training module similar to the Group’s anti-corruption e-learning  
module. CDs of this e-learning course were also distributed by  
several entities to their suppliers. For further information on the  
prevention of corruption, refer to point 3.7.1 of this chapter.  
among suppliers  
In its Code of Conduct, TOTAL states that it works with its suppliers  
to ensure the protection of the interests of both parties on the basis  
of clear and fairly negotiated contractual conditions. This  
relationship is founded on three key principles: dialogue,  
professionalism and adherence to commitments.  
TOTAL expects its suppliers to:  
adhere to principles equivalent to those in its own Code of  
Conduct, such as those set out in the Fundamental Principles of  
Purchasing directive; and  
In addition, pursuant to Rule 13p-1 of the Securities Exchange Act  
of 1934, as amended, which implemented certain provisions of the  
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of

related aspects of their standards and procedures, in particular  
their employees’ working conditions, and ensure that their own  
suppliers and contractors respect equivalent principles.

or a neighboring country. The document indicates whether TOTAL  
S.A. Or one of its affiliates had, during the preceding calendar year,  
used any such minerals that were necessary to the functionality or  
production of a product manufactured or contracted to be  
manufactured by the Group. The document also states whether  
such minerals were sourced from the Democratic Republic of the  
Congo or a neighboring country. The main objective of the rule’s  
obligation to publish this information is to prevent the direct or  
indirect funding of armed groups in central Africa. For more  
information, refer to TOTAL’s most recent publication available at:  
http://www.sustainable-performance.total.com/fr/enjeux/supply-  
chain-management or http://www.sec.gov/.  
As part of the Corporate Purchasing training program for new  
purchasing hires, an induction e-learning course entitled  
“Purchasing at Total” reiterates the Group’s ethical commitments  
and the Fundamental Principles of Purchasing. “Purchasing St@rt”,  
a course featuring a mix of virtual classes and e-learning modules,  
follows on from the Corporate Purchasing training program and  
once again addresses the issue of compliance and Corporate  
Social Responsibility in customer relationship management. The  
first session of “Purchasing St@rt” was held in 2016 with a dozen  
other sessions lined up for 2017.  
In France, the Group’s purchases from the disabled and protected  
employment sectors enabled the achievement of an indirect  
employment rate of nearly 1% in 2016. TOTAL is a member of the  
Pas@Pas association and provides its buyers with an online  
directory that can be used to identify potential suppliers and service  
providers from the disabled or protected employment sectors by  
geographical area and by category.  
3.6.2. Promoting sustainable procurement  
An interdisciplinary working group dedicated to the issue of  
sustainable procurement is tasked with strengthening TOTAL’s  
policy in this area based on initiatives developed by each segment.  
As part of the work pursued by the Association française des  
entreprises privées (AFEP) in 2016, TOTAL presented an action  
program for 2017-2020 targeting the circular economy, which  
includes a circular economy-based criterion in the relevant  
purchasing categories.

.6.3. Acting as a responsible partner  
in relation with suppliers  
TOTAL received the “Responsible supplier relationships” label in  
2014 (maintained in 2015 and 2016) for its Holding and  
Marketing & Services activities in France. This label, awarded by the  
French authorities, recognizes companies that maintain sustainable  
and balanced relationships with their suppliers.  
In addition to the Human Rights information document that TOTAL  
published in July 2016, the Group updated its “human rights”  
roadmap to include the commitments taken by the Purchasing  
function to raise awareness among buyers and suppliers (refer to  
point 3.7.2 of this chapter).  
The general terms and conditions of purchase were updated in  
2014 to ensure a sharper focus on balanced contractual relations.  
This balance is monitored in particular by an interdisciplinary  
working group dedicated to the issue of payment terms, set up in  
The Group’s buyers take part in international working groups on  
sustainable procurement. TOTAL is an active member of IPIECA’s  
Supply Chain Task Force. Building on the workshops held in 2015,  
TOTAL participated in a special workshop on Operationalization of  
the UN Guiding Principles organized by the IPIECA in March 2016,  
aimed at both oil and gas companies and engineering,

processing of invoices.  
procurement, construction (EPC) contractors. TOTAL is also  
represented in the French delegation involved in the international  
discussions considering the forthcoming ISO 20400 standard on  
sustainable procurement. The aim of this standard is to transpose  
the concept of social responsibility – as defined in ISO 26000 – to  
purchasing activities. Forty-one countries from every continent, as  
well as international organizations such as the OECD, the UN and the  
International Labour Organization, are involved in drafting this standard.  
The breakdown of TOTAL S.A.’s accounts payable as of December 31,  
2016 and December 31, 2015, in application of the provisions of  
Article D. 441-4 of the French Commercial Code, is as follows:

In 2016, TOTAL decided to dedicate the second edition of its  
Business Ethics Day to the supply chain. This initiative alerted  
employees and especially buyers to the issues of human rights and  
the prevention of corruption in the supply chain. Various events were  
held at the Group’s headquarters and subsidiaries. A brochure  
designed to explain the Fundamental Principles of Purchasing to  
employees and suppliers was handed out to the workforce and  
uploaded to the intranet. A video of the interview with the Chairman  
and Chief Executive Officer was widely disseminated over the intranet  
to spread the word about TOTAL’s commitment. This video contains  
a discussion about the feedback from a major TOTAL supplier.

TOTAL supports its suppliers in the different countries in which it  
does business. For example, Total E&P Congo (TEPC) organized  
five training sessions in the Republic of the Congo to help 75 local  
SMEs prepare more effectively in responding to a request for  
proposals. In addition, the subsidiary is taking part in a program to  
providing welding training for 20 welders from four local SMEs. A  
partnership has already been signed with a local center to provide  
training for electricity students. Finally, in order to give its major  
technical suppliers a clearer insight into SMEs and their expertise, a  
day event entitled “Discovering the skills and expertise of local  
industrial SMEs” was organized in November 2016. Close to 30  
local SMEs, approximately 100 TEPC technicians, TEPC service  
providers and several large organizations took part.  
The identification of innovative SME suppliers takes place through  
the appointment of innovation correspondents within each  
Purchasing department of TOTAL’s business segments, the use of  
the Pacte PME open innovation platform, and participation in  
events such as BPI France Inno Génération in May 2016.  
In July 2016, a Suppliers Day concerning specialized IT services  
allowed 60 recently selected vendors to present their company and  
service range during a series of speed meetings at the head office  
in La Défense.  
To contribute toward the development of good practices in  
business relations, TOTAL launched an initiative to raise its  
employees’ awareness of mediation as an alternative method for  
resolving disputes. Each year since 2013, a training day run by  
professional mediators to raise awareness of mediation has been  
organized in French and English. In 2016, two sessions were held,  
with one in Abidjan and the other in Singapore. Each session brings  
together employees of the Group, lawyers and suppliers. This day  
enables employees to gain an understanding of mediation and its  
advantages, in particular in cementing long-term business relations,  
and includes practical exercises. A brochure designed to increase  
awareness of the mediation process is also made available to all  
employees. In addition, an email address is available on the Group  
website (under “Suppliers”). It can be used to contact the Group’s  
internal mediator, whose task is to facilitate relations between the  
Group and its French and international suppliers. Finally, the general  
purchase terms and conditions also mention the possibility of  
recourse to mediation.  
In the United Kingdom, Total E&P UK (TEPUK) organized a HSE  
“Suppliers Day” event in 2016 featuring approximately 15 main  
suppliers. Every year, TEPUK also takes part in the “Share Fair”  
event staged by Oil & Gas UK (association whose members include  
oil and gas operators and suppliers in the UK). During the event,  
TEPUK presents its activities, its development and procurement  
program and its HSE and ethical requirements. The 2016 edition  
attracted 650 participants and gave TEPUK chance to carry out  
approximately 50 speed meetings. TEPUK received the award for  
excellence from both Oil & Gas UK and Oil & Gas Authority for its  
level of conformity to the supply chain code of practice.  
Regarding the support given to French SMEs, TOTAL is a member  
of the “Pacte PME” association and was positively rated by its  
Monitoring Committee in 2016. One example is the support that the  
Group gives to the international development of SMEs, occasionally  
including its own suppliers, through Total Développement Régional  
(refer to point 3.4.2 of this chapter).  
3.7. Fair operating practices  
3.7.1. Preventing corruption  
compliance program via a network of more than 370 Compliance  
Officers wherever TOTAL operates.  
The corruption prevention program includes:  
a framework of internal rules that allow employees, with the  
support of their Compliance Officer, to identify risk situations,  
conduct due diligence and implement appropriate actions. The  
adopted rules especially encompass representatives dealing with  
public officials, purchasing/sales, gifts/invitations,  
The oil industry must be particularly vigilant concerning the risk of  
corruption, especially given the scale of investments and the number  
of countries in which operations are conducted. Preventing corruption  
is therefore a major challenge for the Group and all its employees.  
donations/philanthropy, acquisitions/divestments, joint ventures,  
conflicts of interest and Human Resources;  
TOTAL’s stance on the issue of corruption is based on the  
principles set out in its Code of Conduct: “The Group adopts a  
activities designed to raise awareness among all employees: an  
initial e-learning course was rolled out in 2011 in 12 languages,  
followed by a more in-depth e-learning module in late 2015. This  
module is accessible to all employees and mandatory for the  
target groups (approximately 30,000 employees);  
more targeted training activities intended for the most highly  
exposed positions (particularly for implementation of new rules)  
and in-depth training for all Compliance Officers;  
zero tolerance’ approach to corruption and adheres to the strictest  
integrity standards”. This Code sets out the principles governing the  
actions and individual behavior of each person, both in their day-to-day  
decisions and in their relations with the Company’s stakeholders.  
In it, TOTAL also reiterates its support for the OECD Guidelines and  
the Tenth Principle of the United Nations Global Compact, which urges  
businesses to work against corruption in all its forms.  
The Group’s commitment has led to a number of actions, including:  
– the prohibition of “facilitation payments”;  
regular reporting and incident feedback mechanisms, including  
an ethics alert system;  
the adoption by the Executive Committee in 2009 of a corruption  
prevention policy and the implementation of a dedicated  
compliance program. This policy was updated in 2016 to reaffirm  
the Group’s commitment to prevent corruption; and  
the establishment of a specific organization including, in  
particular, a Compliance and Social Responsibility Department,  
which is responsible for rolling out a robust anti-corruption  
audits dedicated to compliance (six to eight per year) covering all  
the Group’s activities. These audits are followed up the next year  
to verify that the formulated recommendations have been  
implemented. In addition, missions carried out by the Group  
Audit Department include, depending on their purpose, controls

conditions. In particular in 2015 TOTAL signed a global agreement  
with the worldwide trade union federation, IndustriALL Global  
Union, which represents 50 million employees in 140 countries.  
Under this agreement, the Group is committed to maintaining  
minimum Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) standards and  
guarantees worldwide for subsidiaries in which it has more than a  
In 2016, significant internal communications took place to  
emphasize once again the importance that the Group attaches to  
these issues. For the UN’s International Anti-Corruption Day and  
International Human Rights Day (both observed annually in  
December), TOTAL held the second edition of the Business Ethics  
Day, which focused on these two themes as part of the supply  
chain. This event was organized at the Group level and relayed  
locally by the subsidiaries to remind employees how to react  
appropriately and to encourage dialogue.  
50% stake. The Group also ensures that the principles of the  
agreement on health, safety and human rights are disclosed to and  
promoted among its service providers and suppliers. The  
implementation of this agreement is monitored annually (refer to  
point 1.3 of this chapter).  
Furthermore, while respecting the sovereignty of the host countries  
in which it operates, the Group reserves the right to express its  
conviction on the importance of respecting human rights in matters  
concerning it. Finally, TOTAL respects the rights of local  
communities by identifying, preventing and limiting the impacts of  
its activities on their way of life and remediating them.  
Under the settlements reached in 2013 between TOTAL, the U.S.  
Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Department of  
Justice, an independent monitor was appointed for three years to  
conduct a review of anti-corruption compliance and related internal  
control procedures implemented by the Group and to recommend  
improvements, when necessary. In July 2016, the monitor  
submitted his third and final report, in which he certified that TOTAL  
has devised and implemented an appropriate compliance program.  
As a result of this certification, the U.S. authorities, after having  
reviewed the monitor’s report, concluded that TOTAL has fulfilled all  
of its obligations, thus bringing an end to the monitoring process.  
As a result, a court in the State of Virginia granted a motion to  
dismiss on November 9, 2016, thereby terminating the procedure  
directed at the Company, which can no longer be pursued in the  
United States for these same facts. The Group is continuing to  
empower all employees and maintain its efforts in a bid to ensure  
the sustainability, development and continual improvement of this  
compliance program.  
Some of these principles are set out in the “To find out more”  
section of the Code of Conduct and are detailed in TOTAL’s Human  
Rights Guide, as updated in 2015 (available in English and French  
at total.com).  
In 2013, the Group developed a strategic human rights roadmap to  
better integrate respect for human rights into its various risk and  
impact management systems. The roadmap, approved by the  
Executive Committee, has been implemented by various Group  
entities. For example, easy-to-use auto-diagnostic and self-  
assessment tools for VPSHR risks for use by subsidiaries have  
been developed and were the subject of a pilot deployment in 2016  
in 20 exposed entities. This roadmap has been updated for 2016-

proposes actions to:  
integrate respect for human rights more globally into operational  
decisions at the local level;  
improve management’s awareness level and accountability with  
regard to human rights at all levels of the company; and  
Activities of companies can affect the human rights of employees,  
suppliers and partners, customers, local communities and other  
stakeholders in numerous ways. TOTAL’s proactive approach to  
human rights reflects its ethical commitment and helps to establish  
and maintain successful relationships with all stakeholders, which is  
essential for the Group to operate effectively.  
– strengthen the analysis process and action and monitoring plans  
in the Group’s at-risk entities.  
A dedicated organization  
The Ethics Committee and the Ethics and Human Rights unit advise  
employees, help operatives and monitor efforts to promote respect  
for human rights. In particular, they run a human rights Committee  
that coordinates the actions taken internally and externally by  
the various Group entities. The Ethics Committee is a central,  
independent structure that represents all of TOTAL’s business  
segments. Its role is to listen and support. Both employees and  
people outside the Group can refer matters to it by email at  
[email protected]. The Committee maintains confidentiality with  
regard to referrals, which can only be lifted with the agreement of  
the person in question. At the local level, mechanisms for handling  
grievances raised by local communities are also implemented by  
subsidiaries exposed to societal risks (refer to point 3.3.2  
of this chapter).  
TOTAL’s approach to respect for human rights is based on several  
pillars, described below.  
Written commitments  
The Group’s Code of Conduct was revised in 2014 to reinforce  
TOTAL’s commitments in terms of respect for human rights. It sets  
out the Group’s adherence to international standards such as the  
UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the  
Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights (VPSHR). In the  
event of any discrepancy between legal provisions and the Code of  
Conduct, the highest standard of protection of human rights applies.  
Respect for human rights is one of the Group’s priority business  
principles, alongside integrity (preventing corruption and fraud and  
anti-competitive practices) and HSE standards. The Group ensures  
that employees’ rights are protected and prohibits any form of  
discrimination against them, including due to sexual orientation or  
identity. It demands that they themselves respect human rights.  
TOTAL also expects its suppliers to respect standards equivalent to  
its own and pay particular attention to their employees’ working  
Awareness and training  
To ensure its adopted principles are disseminated in-house, TOTAL  
raises employee awareness via corporate communications  
channels, such as a group for sharing best practices and  
challenges in the area of respect for human rights accessible to  
Group employees on the TOTAL intranet, and through events such

as the annual Business Ethics Day (refer to point 3.7.1 of this  
chapter). The theme of this day event in 2016 focused on  
challenges in terms of human rights and anti-corruption in the  
supply chain. On this occasion an awareness-raising brochure was  
circulated on the Fundamental Principles of Purchasing, which  
include human rights. The Group has also produced several videos  
on three human rights topics that are key for TOTAL: responsible  
security, prevention of societal impacts on local communities, and  
working conditions, both for its own employees and within its  
supply chain. The Group also offers some employees special  
training tailored to the challenges faced in the field, such as the  
Responsible Leadership for a Sustainable Business program.  
Finally, actions are taken to raise awareness among the Group’s  
external stakeholders, such as training related to the VPSHR for its  
security providers.  
For each of these subject areas, the information document  
summarizes TOTAL’s policies, the training and awareness-raising  
actions taken, and the due diligence measures implemented in  
response to the identified issues.  
Participation in external initiatives  
TOTAL is actively involved in numerous initiatives and working  
groups on human rights that bring together various stakeholders  
including Global Compact, Global Compact LEAD (initiative for  
sustainable leadership), Global Business Initiative on Human Rights,  
IPIECA, VPSHR and non-profit organizations such as Shift.  
3.7.3. Consumer health and safety  
Assessments and reporting  
Tools are used to regularly assess the subsidiaries’ human rights  
practices and the risks they may have to face. Their objective is to  
analyze the societal impacts of a project at the local level or to verify  
that the subsidiaries’ practices are in line with the Group’s ethical  
standards. TOTAL commissions approximately 10 ethical  
Many of the products that TOTAL markets pose potential risks; for  
example, if they are used incorrectly. The Group therefore aims to  
meet its current and future obligations with regard to information  
and prevention in order to minimize the risks throughout its products’  
life cycle. TOTAL’s health and products directive sets outs the minimum  
requirements for marketing the Group’s products worldwide in order  
to reduce potential risks to consumer health and the environment.  
assessments per year, with more than 120 subsidiaries evaluated  
since 2002. These assessments are undertaken by  
GoodCorporation (GoodCorp), a qualified ethics expert. Certain  
assessments are also conducted in partnership with the Danish  
Institute for Human Rights, a Danish public non-profit organization.  
A reference catalog containing approximately 90 questions relating  
to human rights, labor law and rules on competition, is used on  
site, and numerous internal and external stakeholders are  
interviewed by GoodCorp over the course of several weeks.  
GoodCorp then issues a final report identifying points requiring  
improvement and good practices. The entity is then given several  
months to correct any issues that have been identified. A follow-up  
report is issued by GoodCorp for the subsidiaries that were  
assessed. Other non-profit partner organizations, such as the CDA  
Corporate Engagement Project, also contribute by evaluating the  
societal impact of the Group’s activities on nearby local  
TOTAL identifies and assesses the risks inherent to its products and  
their use, and then informs customers and users of these risks and  
the applicable prevention and protection measures. The material

communities, for example by surveying the populations in question.  
CDA’s reports are published online on their website. In July 2016,  
TOTAL published a dedicated human rights report (available at  
www.sustainable-performance.total.com) based on the UN Guiding  
Principles Reporting Framework – becoming the first oil & gas  
company to do so. This information document presents TOTAL’s  
approach to integrate respect for human rights into its operations  
and business relations. It focuses on the three key topics for the  
Group and presents the most important subjects for each topic:  
human rights in the workplace, concerning TOTAL’s employees  
but also those of its suppliers, contractors, partners, and those  
of their subcontractors. The subjects identified are forced labor  
and child labor, discrimination, fair and just working conditions  
and safety;  
human rights and local communities, concerning the impact of  
its activities on the communities in countries where TOTAL is  
present and including issues of access to land and the right to  
health and an adequate standard of living; and  
human rights and security, concerning measures to protect  
against the risks and threats to which the Group’s employees  
and facilities are exposed, while ensuring that the risk of  
disproportionate use of force is avoided.

4.1. Reporting guidance  
The Group’s reporting is based:  
– for environmental indicators, on a Group reporting procedure,  
together with segment-specific instructions.  
for social indicators, on a practical handbook titled “Corporate  
Social Reporting Protocol and Method”;  
for Industrial Safety indicators, on the Corporate Guidance on  
Event and Statistical Reporting; and  
These documents are available to all TOTAL companies and can be  
consulted at Corporate headquarters, in the relevant departments.  
4.2. Scopes  
In 2016, environmental reporting covered all activities, sites and  
industrial assets in which TOTAL S.A., or one of its companies  
it controls, is the operator (i.e., either operates or contractually  
manages the operations): 808 sites at year-end 2016. greenhouse

only data which are published for the “equity interest” scope. This  
scope, which is different from the “operated domain” mentioned  
above, includes all the assets in which the Group has a financial  
interest or rights to production.  
dialogue, Code of Conduct application, human rights, health,  
compensation, retirement benefits and insurance. The survey  
covers a representative sample of the consolidated scope. The  
data published in this document are extracted from the most  
recent survey, carried out in December 2016 and January 2017;  
135 companies in 57 countries, representing 87.5% of the  
consolidated Group workforce (89,365 employees) replied to the  
survey. With regard to training only, this scope covers 84.7% of the  
Group’s consolidated workforce and 132 companies.  
Safety reporting covers all TOTAL employees, employees of  
contractors working at Group-operated sites and employees of  
transport companies under long-term contracts. Each site submits  
its safety reporting to the relevant operational entity. The data is  
then consolidated at the business level and every month at the Group  
level. In 2016, the Group safety reporting scope covered 486 million  
hours worked, equivalent to approximately 271,000 people.

.2.1. Consolidation method  
For the scopes defined above, safety indicators and social data are  
fully consolidated. Environmental indicators consolidate 100% of  
the emissions of Group operated sites for the “operated” indicators.  
GHG emissions are also published on an equity interest basis, i.e.,  
by consolidating the Group share of the emissions of all assets in  
which the Group has a financial interest or rights to production.  
Reporting on occupational illnesses follows the scope of the  
Worldwide Human Resources Survey (see below).  
4.2.2. Changes in scope  
Social reporting is based on two surveys: the Global Workforce  
Analysis, and the complementary Worldwide Human Resources  
Survey. Two centralized tools (Sogreat and HR4U) facilitate  
performance of the above surveys.  
Social and environmental indicators are calculated on the basis of  
the consolidated scope of the Group as of December 31, 2016.  
Variations in scope between the Group’s different activities  
associated with the new “One Total” organization will be integrated  
in 2017. For 2016, social data have been reported based on the  
existing structures at the entry date. These data are presented on  
the basis of the operational business segments identified in the  
The Global Workforce Analysis is conducted twice a year, on  
June 30 and December 31, in all fully consolidated companies at  
least 50% owned and consolidated by the global integration  
method. The survey mainly covers worldwide workforces, hiring  
under permanent and fixed-term contracts (non-French equivalents  
of contrats à durée déterminée or indéterminée) as well as  
employee turnover. This survey produces a breakdown of the  
workforce by gender, professional category (managers and other  
employees), age and nationality.  
2016 Consolidated Financial Statements.  
For environmental indicators, acquisitions are taken into account as  
from January 1 of the current year as far as possible or as from the  
next fiscal year. Any facility sold before December 31 is excluded  
from the Group’s reporting scope for the current year.  
The Worldwide Human Resources Survey (WHRS) is an annual  
survey which comprises approximately 100 indicators in addition to  
those used in the Global Workforce Analysis. The indicators are  
selected in cooperation with the relevant counterparties and cover  
major components of the Group Human Resources policy, such as  
mobility, career management, training, work conditions, employee  
For safety indicators, acquisitions are taken into account as soon  
as possible and at the latest on January 1 of the following year, and  
divestments are taken into account at the end of the quarter  
preceding their effective date of implementation.

4.3. Principles  
4.3.1. Indicator selection and relevance  
4.3.3. Methods  
The data published in the Registration Document are intended to  
inform stakeholders about TOTAL’s Corporate Social Responsibility  
performance for the year in question. The environmental indicators  
include Group performance indicators referring to the IPIECA  
reporting guidelines, updated in 2015. The indicators have been  
selected in order to monitor:  
The methods may be adjusted to reflect the diversity of TOTAL’s  
activities, recent integration of subsidiaries, lack of regulations or  
standardized international definitions, practical procedures for  
collecting data, or changes in methods.  
Restatement of previous years published data, unless there is a  
specific statement, is now limited to changes of methodology.  
TOTAL’s commitments and policies, and their effects on matters  
of safety, environment, social, etc.;  
performance relative to TOTAL’s main challenges and impacts;  
and  
information required by laws and regulations (Article L. 225-102-1  
of the French Commercial Code).  
4.3.4. Consolidation and internal controls  
Environmental, social and industrial safety data are consolidated  
and checked by each business unit and business segment, and  
then at Group level. Data pertaining to certain specific indicators are  
calculated directly by the business segments. These processes  
undergo regular internal audits.  
4
.3.2. Terminology used in social reporting  
Outside of France, “management staff” refers to any employee  
whose job level is the equivalent of 300 or more Hay points.  
Permanent contracts correspond to contrats à durée indéterminée  
4.3.5. External verification  
The verification scope covers the forty-two quantitative and/or  
qualitative information categories as stated by Article R. 225-105-1  
of the French Commercial Code. The external verification is  
performed at the Group and business levels, as well as in a sample  
of operational entities in and outside France, selected each year in  
line with their relative contribution to the Group totals, previous  
years’ results and a risk analysis. The auditors’ independence is  
defined by regulations and the professions’ Rules of Professional  
Conduct and/or an impartiality Committee.  
(CDI) and fixed-term contracts to contrats à durée déterminée  
(CDD), according to the terminology used in the Group’s social  
reporting.  
Managed scope: all subsidiaries in which one or more Group  
companies own a stake of 50% or more, i.e., 495 companies in  
124 countries as of December 31, 2016.  
Consolidated scope: all companies fully consolidated by the  
global integration method, i.e., 340 companies having employees in  
Since 2005, the Group has its main environmental and social  
performance indicators externally verified. The units with the largest  
workforces and that contribute significantly to environmental  
indicators have been audited several times since this verification  
process has been implemented.  
104 countries as of December 31, 2016.  
Employees present: employees present are employees on the payroll  
of the consolidated scope, less employees who are not present, i.e.,  
persons who are under suspended contract (sabbatical, business  
development leave, etc.), absent on long-term sick leave (more than  
six months), assigned to a company outside the Group, etc.  
4.4. Details of certain indicators  
4
.4.1. Industrial Safety definitions and indicators  
Incidents and near misses are assessed in terms of actual or  
potential severity based on a scale that consists of six levels.  
Events with an actual or potential severity level of four or more are  
considered serious.  
TRIR (Total Recordable Injury Rate): number of recorded injuries  
per million hours worked.  
LTIR (Lost Time Injury Rate): number of lost time injuries per million  
hours worked.  
4.4.2. Environmental indicators  
SIR (Severity Injury Rate): average number of days lost per lost time  
ISO sites: sites covered by an ISO 14001 certificate that is valid;  
injury.  
some certificates may cover several sites.  
Employees of external contractors: any employee of a service  
provider working at a Group-operated site or assigned by a  
transport company under a long-term contract.  
Safety flaring: flaring to ensure the safe performance of operations  
conducted at the production site.  
Continuous flaring of associated gas: flaring during normal  
production operations conducted in the absence of sufficient  
facilities or adequate geological conditions permitting the  
reinjection, on-site utilization or commercialization of produced gas.  
Continuous flaring of associated gas includes neither safety flaring  
nor very low pressure gas.  
Tier 1 and Tier 2: indicator of the number of loss of primary  
containment events, with more or less significant consequences,  
as defined by the API 754 (for downstream) and IOGP 456 (for  
upstream) standards.  
Near miss: event which, under slightly different circumstances,  
could have resulted in a serious accident. The term “potential  
severity” is used for near misses.  
Registration Document 2016. TOTAL  
173  
 
Social, environmental and societal information

Reporting scopes and method  
Routine flaring: flaring that includes the continuous flaring of  
associated gas (see above) and very low pressure gas generated  
during the production process, the reuse of which is neither  
technically nor economically feasible. Continuous flaring does not  
include safety flaring.  
GHG scope 1 emissions: direct GHG emissions from sources  
located within the boundaries of a site coming under the operated  
domain or in which TOTAL holds a financial interest.  
GHG scope 2 emissions: indirect emissions attributable to  
brought-in energy (electricity, heat, steam), excluding purchased  
industrial gases (H2).  
Fresh water: water with salinity below 1.5 g/l.  
Hydrocarbon spills: spills with a volume greater than 1 barrel (159  
liters) are counted. These are accidental spills of which at least part  
of the volume spilled reaches the natural environment (including  
non-waterproof ground). Spills resulting from sabotage or malicious  
acts are included. Spills which remain in a confined watertight  
containment system are excluded.  
GHG scope 3 emissions: other indirect emissions. The Group  
follows the Oil & Gas industry reporting guidelines published by  
IPIECA and which conform to the GHG Protocol methodologies. In  
this Registration Document, only item 11 of Scope 3 (use of sold  
products), which is the most significant, is reported. Emissions for  
this item are calculated based on sales of finished products for  
which the next stage is end use, in other words combustion of the  
products to obtain energy. A stoichiometric emission factor is  
applied to these sales (oxidation of molecules to carbon dioxide) to  
obtain an emission volume.  
Waste: the contaminated soil excavated and removed from active  
sites to be treated externally is counted as waste. However, drilling  
debris, mining cuttings or soil polluted in inactive sites are not  
reported as waste.  
Material loss: this is represented by the following four indicators:  
safety or operational gas flaring (Exploration & Production only),  
cold venting (Exploration & Production only), total volume of oil and  
gas discharged in wastewater (Exploration & Production and  
Refining & Chemicals only), and accidental hydrocarbon spills.  
GEEI (Group Energy Efficiency Index): a combination of energy  
intensity ratios (ratio of net primary energy consumption to the level  
of activity) per business reduced to base 100 in 2010 and  
consolidated with a weighting by each business’s net primary  
energy consumption.  
Oil spill preparedness:  
GHG: the six gases of the Kyoto protocol, which  
are CO , CH , N O, HFCs, PFCs and SF , with their respective  
GWP (Global Warming Potential) as described in the 2007 GIEC  
– an oil spill scenario is deemed “important” as soon as its  
consequences are on a small scale and with limited impacts on  
the environment (orders of magnitude of several hundred meters  
of beaches impacted, and several tons of hydrocarbons);  
2
4

6
report. PFCs and SF are virtually absent from the Group’s  
6
emissions.  
an oil spill preparedness plan is deemed operational if it  
describes the alert mechanisms, if it is based on pollution  
scenarios that stem from risk analyses and if it describes  
mitigation strategies that are adapted to each scenario, if it  
defines the technical and organizational means, internal and  
external, to be implemented and, lastly, if it mentions elements to  
be taken into account to implement a follow-up of the  
environmental impacts of the pollution; and  
oil spill preparedness exercise: only exercises conducted on the  
basis of one of the scenarios identified in the oil spill  
preparedness plan and which are played out until the stage of  
equipment deployment are included for this indicator.  
GHG based on the Group’s equity interest: GHG emissions of  
non-significant assets are generally excluded, i.e., assets in which  
the Group’s equity interest is less than 10% and for which the  
Group share of emissions are less than 50 kt CO eq/year. For non-  
2
operated assets, TOTAL relies on information provided by its  
partner operators. In cases where this information is not available,  
estimates are made based on past data, budget data or by pro rata  
with similar assets.

Independent verifier’s report on consolidated social, environmental and societal information presented in the Management Report  
This is a free translation into English of the original report issued in the French language and it is provided solely for the convenience of English speaking  
users. This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed in accordance with, French law and professional standards applicable in France.  
To the shareholders,  
(1)  
In our quality as an independent verifier accredited by the COFRAC , under the number n° 3-1050, and as a member of the network of one of the  
statutory auditors of the company TOTAL S.A., we present our report on the consolidated social, environmental and societal information established  
st  
for the year ended on the December 31 2016, presented in the Management Report, hereafter referred to as the “CSR Information,” pursuant  
to the provisions of the Article L.225-102-1 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce), integrated in the Registration Document 2016.  
Responsibility of the Company  
It is the responsibility of the Board of Directors to establish a Management Report including CSR Information referred to in the Article R. 225-105-1  
of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce), in accordance with the Human Resources reporting protocols and environment,  
health and safety protocols used by the Company (hereafter referred to as the “Criteria”), and of which a summary is provided in point 4.1  
of chapter 7 of the Registration Document and available on request at the Company’s headquarters.  
Independence and quality control  
Our independence is defined by regulatory requirements, the Code of Ethics of our profession as well as the provisions in the Article L. 822-11  
of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce). In addition, we have implemented a quality control system, including documented  
policies and procedures to ensure compliance with ethical standards, professional standards and applicable laws and regulations.  
Responsibility of the independent verifier  
It is our role, based on our work:  
to attest whether the required CSR Information is present in the Management Report or, in the case of its omission, that an appropriate  
explanation has been provided, in accordance with the third paragraph of Article R. 225-105 of the French Commercial Code (Code de  
commerce) (Attestation of presence of CSR Information);  
to express a limited assurance conclusion, that the CSR Information, overall, is fairly presented, in all material aspects, according to the  
Criteria (Limited assurance on CSR Information);  
Our verification work mobilized the skills of seven people between September 2016 and the date of signature of this report, for an estimated  
duration of thirty weeks.  
We conducted the work described below in accordance with the professional standards applicable in France and the Order of 13 May 2013  
determining the conditions under which an independent third-party verifier conducts its mission, and in relation to the opinion of fairness and  
the reasonable assurance report, in accordance with the international standard ISAE 3000(2)  
.
5.1. Attestation of presence of CSR Information  
Nature and scope of work  
We obtained an understanding of the Company’s CSR issues, based on interviews with the management of relevant departments, a presentation  
of the Company’s strategy on Sustainable Development based on the social and environmental consequences linked to the activities of the  
Company and its societal commitments, as well as, where appropriate, resulting actions or programmes.  
We have compared the information presented in the Management Report with the list as provided for in the Article R. 225-105-1 of the French  
Commercial Code (Code de commerce).  
In the absence of certain consolidated information, we have verified that the explanations were provided in accordance with the provisions in  
Article R. 225-105-1, paragraph 3, of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce).  
We verified that the information covers the consolidated perimeter, namely the entity and its subsidiaries, as aligned with the meaning of the  
Article L.233-1 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce) and the entities which it controls, as aligned with the meaning of the  
Article L.233-3 of the same Code with the limitations specified in the Methodological Note presented in point 4 of chapter 7 of the Registration  
Document and notably the Worldwide Human Resources Survey which covers 87.5% of the employees.  
Conclusion  
Based on this work, and given the limitations mentioned above, we confirm the presence in the Management Report of the required CSR  
information.

5.2. Limited assurance on CSR Information  
Nature and scope of the work  
We undertook interviews with about ten people responsible for the preparation of the CSR Information in the Sustainable Development and  
Environment Division, Industrial Safety Division and Human Resources Division, in charge of the data collection process and, if applicable,  
the people responsible for internal control processes and risk management, in order to:  
assess the suitability of the Criteria for reporting, in relation to their relevance, completeness, reliability, neutrality, and understandability,  
taking into consideration, if relevant, industry standards;  
verify the implementation of the process for the collection, compilation, processing and control for completeness and consistency of the  
CSR Information and identify the procedures for internal control and risk management related to the preparation of the CSR Information.  
We determined the nature and extent of our tests and inspections based on the nature and importance of the CSR Information, in relation  
to the characteristics of the Company, its social and environmental issues, its strategy in relation to Sustainable Development and industry  
best practices.  
For the CSR Information which we considered the most important(1)  
:
at the level of the consolidated entity and the three segments, we consulted documentary sources and conducted interviews to corroborate  
the qualitative information (organisation, policies, actions, etc.), we implemented analytical procedures on the quantitative information and  
verified, on a test basis, the calculations and the compilation of the information, and also verified their coherence and consistency with the  
other information presented in the Management Report;  
(2)  
at the level of the representative selection of sites that we selected , based on their activity, their contribution to the consolidated indicators,  
their location and a risk analysis, we undertook interviews to verify the correct application of the procedures and undertook detailed tests  
on the basis of samples, consisting in verifying the calculations made and linking them with supporting documentation. The sample selected  
therefore represented on average 6% of the total workforce and between 7% and 21% of the environmental information, that were considered  
as representative characteristics of the environmental and social domains.  
For the other consolidated CSR information, we assessed their consistency in relation to our knowledge of the Company.  
Finally, we assessed the relevance of the explanations provided, if appropriate, in the partial or total absence of certain information.  
We consider that the sample methods and sizes of the samples that we considered by exercising our professional judgment allow us to  
express a limited assurance conclusion; an assurance of a higher level would have required more extensive verification work. Due to the  
necessary use of sampling techniques and other limitations inherent in the functioning of any information and internal control system, the risk  
of non-detection of a significant anomaly in the CSR Information cannot be entirely eliminated.  
Conclusion  
Based on our work, we have not identified any significant misstatement that causes us to believe that the CSR Information, taken together,  
has not been fairly presented, in compliance with the Criteria.

Shareholders’ Meeting of May 12, 2006 approved TOTAL S.A.’s  
contribution to Arkema, under the regulation governing spin-offs, of  
all its interests in the businesses included under Arkema’s scope,  
as well as the allocation for each TOTAL share of an allotment right  
for Arkema shares, with ten allotment rights entitling the holder to  
one Arkema share. Since May 18, 2006, Arkema’s shares have  
been traded on Euronext Paris.

the policy to simplify the Group’s structures.  
Following their cancellation, the number of shares composing the share capital of TOTAL S.A. was 2,429,723,768 shares.

In the case of a share capital increase by incorporation of reserves  
or share grants for no consideration and in the case of a stock-split

transaction to the number of shares outstanding after the  
transaction.  
under Article 241-1 et seq. of the General  
Regulation of the French Financial Markets  
Authority  
The objectives of the share buyback program are as follows:

Commercial Code, the maximum number of shares that may be  
bought back under this authorization may not exceed 10% of the  
total number of shares composing the capital as of the date on  
which this authorization is used. This limit of 10% is applicable to a  
capital of the Company which may be adjusted from time to time as  
a result of transactions after the date of the present Meeting.  
Purchases made by the Company may under no circumstances  
result in the Company holding more than 10% of the share capital,  
either directly or indirectly through indirect subsidiaries.  
3.3.2. Legal framework

Article L. 225-209 et seq. of the French Commercial Code, Article

practice that may be authorized. In case of transactions other than  
the above-mentioned intended purposes, the Company will inform

could restrict share transfers and the exercise of voting rights  
The Company is not aware of any agreements between shareholders  
as specified in paragraph 6 of Article L. 225-100-3 of the French  
Commercial Code which could result in restrictions on the transfer  
of shares and exercise of the voting rights of the Company.

employees in the event of their resignation or dismissal  
without real and serious cause or if their employment were to  
be terminated as a result of a tender offer  
Although a number of agreements made by the Company  
contain a change in control clause, the Company believes that  
there are no agreements as specified in paragraph 9 of Article  
L. 225-100-3 of the French Commercial Code. The Company  
also believes that there are no agreements as specified in  
paragraph 10 of Article L. 225-100-3 of the French Commercial

No provision of the bylaws or an agreement made between the  
Company and a third party contains a specific provision relating  
to the appointment and/or replacement of the Company’s

5. Information for foreign shareholders  
5.1. American holders of ADRs  
Information for holders of TOTAL American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), representing American Depositary Shares (ADSs), is provided on  
TOTAL’s annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.  
5.2. Non-resident shareholders (other than American shareholders)  
The information set forth below is a general overview. Shareholders  
are invited to consult their own tax advisor to determine the  
applicable procedures, the effect of tax treaties and, more generally,  
the tax impacts applicable to their particular situation.  
amount of dividends is included in the shareholder’s taxable  
income. Based on certain conditions and limitations, the French  
withholding tax on dividends may result in a tax credit being applied  
to the foreign tax payable by the shareholder. However, there are  
some exceptions.  
Dividends  
Dividends received in shares and dividends paid in cash are widely  
and generally taxed under the same regime.  
Dividends distributed by TOTAL to shareholders not residing in  
France are generally subject to French withholding tax at a rate of  
30%. This rate is increased to 75% for income paid outside France  
Taxation on sales of shares  
in a non-cooperative country or territory (NCCT), as defined by the  
French General Tax Code (Article 238-0 A). This withholding tax is  
reduced to 21% for dividends received by individuals residing in a  
Member State of the European Union or in certain countries in  
Europe such as Iceland and Liechtenstein.  
Capital gains on sales of shares realized by taxpayers residing  
outside France are generally exempt from income tax in France.  
However, two exceptions are planned, without any threshold  
conditions: one for sales of interests where the seller owns a  
permanent establishment or a fixed base in France to which his or  
her shares are attached, and the other for sales carried out by  
individuals or organizations residing or established in a NCCT.  
Under numerous bilateral international tax treaties signed between  
France and other countries for the purpose of avoiding double  
taxation (“Tax Treaties”), the withholding tax rate is reduced in cases  
where dividends are paid to a shareholder residing in one of the  
countries that signed such Tax Treaties, provided that certain  
conditions are met. Countries with which France has signed a Tax  
Treaty providing for a reduced withholding tax rate of 15% on  
French dividends include: Austria, Belgium, Canada, Germany,  
Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Singapore,  
South Africa, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.  
The shareholder may, nevertheless, be taxed on the capital gain or  
loss on the sale of shares in his or her country of residence.  
Shareholders are invited to consult their own tax advisor to confirm  
the applicable tax conditions.  
A tax on financial transactions (FTT) applies, except under  
exceptional circumstances, to purchases of shares of companies  
listed on a French, European or foreign regulated market, provided  
that the purchase results in a transfer of ownership and that the  
securities are issued by a French company whose market  
Taxation of dividends outside France varies according to each  
country’s respective tax legislation. In most countries, the gross

Investor Relations  
capitalization exceeds 1 billion as of December 1 of the year  
preceding the year of taxation.  
The FTT is equal to 0.3% of the share purchase price, as of  
January 1, 2017.  
The FTT also applies to securities representing shares of stock  
issued by a company. Transactions carried out on certificates  
representing shares, such as ADRs and European Depositary  
Receipts, are therefore subject to this tax.  
In principle, sales of shares of French companies are also subject to  
a French transfer duty. However, French law stipulates that transfer  
duties are not applicable to transactions that are subject to the FTT.

– the ability to join the TOTAL Shareholders’ Club by holding  
at least 50 shares.  
There are two forms of registration:  
The advantages of pure registered shares, in addition to those  
of administered registered shares, include:  
administered registered shares: shares are registered with  
TOTAL through BNP Paribas Securities Services, but the holder’s  
financial intermediary continues to administer them with regard to  
sales, purchases, coupons, etc.; and  
pure registered shares: TOTAL holds and directly administers  
shares on behalf of the holder through BNP Paribas Securities  
Services, which administers sales, purchases, coupons,  
Shareholders’ Meeting notices, etc., so that the shareholder  
does not need to appoint a financial intermediary.  
– no custodial fees;  
– easier placement of market orders(1) (phone, mail, fax, internet);  
– brokerage fees of 0.20% (before tax) of the gross amount of the  
trade, with no minimum charge and up to 1,000 per trade; and  
– the option to view and manage shareholdings online and via the  
Planetshares app for digital tablets.  
To convert TOTAL shares into pure registered shares, shareholders  
must fill out a form that can be obtained upon request from the  
Individual Shareholder Relations Department and send it to their  
financial intermediary.

2.4. Rights, privileges and restrictions attached to the shares  
In addition to the right to vote, each share entitles the holder to a  
portion of the corporate assets, distributions of profits and  
liquidation dividend that is proportional to the number of shares  
issued, subject to the laws and regulations in force and the bylaws.  
Since in such circumstances the limitation no longer applies, such  
limitation on voting rights cannot prevent or delay any takeover of  
the Company, except in case of a public tender offer where the  
bidder does not acquire at least two thirds of the Company’s shares.  
With the exception of double voting rights, no privilege is attached  
to a specific class of shares or to a specific class of shareholders.  
2.4.3. Fractional rights  
Whenever it is necessary to own several shares in order to exercise  
a right, a number of shares less than the number required does not  
give the owners any right with respect to the Company; in such  
case, the shareholders are responsible for aggregating the required  
number of shares.  
2
.4.1. Double voting rights  
Double voting rights, in relation to the portion of share capital they  
represent, are granted to all fully paid-up registered shares held  
continuously in the name of the same shareholder for at least two  
years , and to additional registered shares allotted to a shareholder  
in connection with a share capital increase by capitalization of  
reserves, profits or premiums on the basis of the existing shares  
which entitle the shareholder to a double voting right.  
(1)  
2.4.4. Statutory allocation of profits  
The Company may distribute dividends under the conditions  
provided for by the French Commercial Code and the Company’s  
bylaws.  
2
.4.2. Limitation of voting rights  
The net profit for the period is equal to the net income minus  
general expenses and other personnel expenses, all amortization  
and depreciation of the assets, and all provisions for commercial  
and industrial contingencies.  
Article 18 of the Company’s bylaws provides that at Shareholders’  
Meetings, no shareholder may cast, by himself or through his agent,  
on the basis of the single voting rights attached to the shares he  
holds directly or indirectly and the shares for which he holds powers,  
more than 10% of the total number of voting rights attached to the  
Company’s shares. In the case of double voting rights, by himself or  
through his agent, this limit may be exceeded, taking only the  
resulting additional voting rights into account, provided that the total  
voting rights that he exercises do not exceed 20% of the total voting  
rights associated with the shares in the Company.  
From this profit, minus prior losses, if any, the following items are  
deducted in the order indicated:  
1) 5% to constitute the legal reserve fund, until said fund reaches  
10% of the share capital;  
2) the amounts set by the Shareholders’ Meeting to fund reserves  
for which it determines the allocation or use; and  
Moreover, Article 18 of the bylaws also provides that the limitation  
on voting rights no longer applies, absent any decision of the  
Shareholders’ Meeting, if an individual or a legal entity acting solely  
or together with one or more individuals or entities acquires at least  
two thirds of the Company’s shares following a public tender offer  
for all the Company’s shares. In that case, the Board of Directors  
acknowledges that the limitation no longer applies and carries out  
the necessary procedure to modify the Company’s bylaws  
accordingly.  
3
) the amounts that the Shareholders’ Meeting decides to retain.  
The remainder is paid to the shareholders as dividends.  
The Board of Directors may pay interim dividends.  
The Shareholders’ Meeting held to approve the financial statements  
for the fiscal year may decide to grant shareholders an option, for  
all or part of the dividend or interim dividends, between payment of  
the dividend in cash or in shares.  
Once acknowledged, the fact that the limitation no longer applies is  
final and applies to all Shareholders’ Meetings following the public  
tender offer under which the acquisition of at least two thirds of the  
overall number of shares of the Company was made possible, and  
not solely to the first meeting following that public tender offer.  
The Shareholders’ Meeting may decide at any time, but only based  
on a proposal by the Board of Directors, to make a full or partial  
distribution of the amounts in the reserve accounts, either in cash  
or in Company shares.  
Dividends that have not been claimed at the end of a 5-year period  
are forfeited to the French State.  
2.5. Amending shareholders’ rights  
Any amendment to the bylaws must be approved or authorized by  
the Shareholders’ Meeting voting with the quorum and majority  
required by the laws and regulations governing Extraordinary  
Shareholders’ Meetings.  
(

at its first meeting, if the shareholders present, represented or  
participating by remote voting hold at least one fifth of the shares  
that confer voting rights. No quorum is required at its second  
meeting. Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting decisions are made with  
the majority of votes of shareholders present, represented or  
participating by remote voting.

resolutions to the meeting agendas under the forms, terms and  
deadlines set by the French Labor Code. In particular, requests to  
add draft resolutions must be sent within 10 business days  
following the date the notice of meeting was published.  
Only the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting is authorized to  
modify the bylaws. It may not, however, increase shareholders’  
commitments. It may only deliberate, at its first meeting, if the  
shareholders present, represented or participating by remote voting

the shares that confer voting rights. Decisions of Extraordinary  
Shareholders’ Meetings are made with a two thirds majority of  
votes of shareholders present, represented or participating by  
remote voting.

of participation (attestation de participation) delivered to the  
shareholder. Registration of the shares must be effective no later  
than midnight (Paris time) on the second business day preceding  
the date of the Shareholders’ Meeting. If, after having received such  
a certificate, shares are sold or transferred prior to this record date,  
the certificate of participation will be canceled and the votes sent by  
mail or proxies granted to the Company for such shares will be  
canceled accordingly. If shares are sold or transferred after this  
record date, the certificate of participation will remain valid and  
votes cast or proxies granted will be taken into account.  
One or several shareholders holding a certain percentage of the  
Company’s share capital (calculated using a decreasing scale  
based on the share capital) may ask for items or resolution drafts to  
be added to the agenda of a Shareholders’ Meeting under the  
forms, terms and deadlines set forth by the French Commercial  
Code. Requests to add items or resolution drafts to the agenda

Statutory auditors’ report on the Consolidated Financial Statements

. Statutory auditors’ report  
on the Consolidated Financial Statements  
This is a free translation into English of the statutory auditors’ report on the Consolidated Financial Statements issued in French and it is provided  
solely for the convenience of English-speaking users. The statutory auditors’ report includes information specifically required by French law in  
such reports, whether modified or not. This information is presented below the audit opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements and  
includes an explanatory paragraph discussing the auditors’ assessments of certain significant accounting and auditing matters. These  
assessments were considered for the purpose of issuing an audit opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole and not to  
provide separate assurance on individual account balances, transactions or disclosures. This report also includes information relating to the  
specific verification of information given in the Management Report and in the documents addressed to the shareholders. This report should be  
read in conjunction with and construed in accordance with French law and professional auditing standards applicable in France.  
To the Shareholders,  
In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your general annual meeting, we hereby report to you, for the year ended  
December 31, 2016, on:  
the audit of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of TOTAL S.A.;  
the justification of our assessments;  
the specific verification required by law.  
These Consolidated Financial Statements have been approved by the Board of Directors. Our role is to express an opinion on these  
Consolidated Financial Statements based on our audit.  
I. Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements  
We conducted our audit in accordance with professional standards applicable in France; those standards require that we plan and perform  
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Financial Statements are free of material misstatement. An audit  
involves performing procedures, using sampling techniques or other methods of selection, to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and  
disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and  
the reasonableness of accounting estimates made, as well as the overall presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. We believe  
that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.  
In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities and of the financial position of the  
Group as at December 31, 2016 and of the results of its operations for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial  
Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.  
II. Justification of our assessments  
In accordance with the requirements of Article L. 823-9 of the French commercial code (Code de commerce) relating to the justification of  
our assessments, we bring to your attention the following matters:  
As stated in the introduction to the Consolidated Financial Statements, in paragraph “Major judgments and accounting estimates”, some  
accounting principles applied by TOTAL S.A. involve a significant amount of estimates, judgments and assumptions. Management reviews  
these estimates, judgments and assumptions on a regular basis, if circumstances change or as a result of new information or changes in  
your Group’s experience. Different estimates, assumptions and judgments could have significant impacts on the Consolidated Financial  
Statements and their notes and consequently the final achievements could also be different from the amounts included in the Consolidated  
Financial Statements. These estimates, assumptions and judgments relate principally to the application of the successful efforts method for  
the oil and gas activities, the valuation of long-lived assets, the provisions for asset retirement obligations, the employee benefits and the  
current and differed tax computation. Detailed information relating to the application of these accounting principles is given in the Notes to  
the Consolidated Financial Statements.  
In order to assess the reasonableness of management’s estimates, we performed audit procedures, using sampling techniques, that entailed  
the review of the assumptions and calculations on which these estimates are based, the comparison of prior years’ actual results to their  
related estimates and the review of management’s process for approving these estimates. Additionally, the introductory Note to the financial  
statements was reviewed to ensure that appropriate information regarding the estimates used by management had been disclosed.  
In addition, regarding the impairment of long-lived assets described in Note 3.D to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we reviewed the  
manner in which impairment tests were performed and the key assumptions that led to the determination of recoverable amounts. We also  
assessed the sensitivity of the valuation to possible changes in these assumptions and the management’s process for approving these estimates.  
These audit procedures support our assessment of the reasonableness of these estimates.  
These assessments were made as part of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole, and therefore contributed to  
the opinion we formed which is expressed in the first part of this report.  
III. Specific verification  
As required by law we have also verified, in accordance with professional standards applicable in France, the information related to the  
Group, presented in the Management Report.  
We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and its consistency with the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements  
7. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements  
On February 8, 2017, the Board of Directors established and authorized the publication of the Consolidated Financial Statements of TOTAL S.A.  
for the year ended December 31, 2016, which will be submitted for approval to the Shareholders’ Meeting to be held on May 26, 2017.  
Basis of preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements  
The Consolidated Financial Statements of TOTAL S.A. and its  
subsidiaries (the Group) are presented in U.S. dollars and have  
been prepared on the basis of IFRS (International Financial  
Reporting Standards) as adopted by the European Union and IFRS  
as issued by the IASB (International Accounting Standard Board) as  
of December 31, 2016.  
The accounting policies and principles applied in the Consolidated  
Financial Statements as of December 31, 2016 were the same as  
those that were used as of December 31, 2015 except for  
standards, amendments and interpretations of IFRS which were  
mandatory for the periods beginning after January 1, 2016 (and not  
early adopted). Their application did not have a significant impact  
on the financial statements as of December 31, 2016.  
Major judgments and accounting estimates  
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS for  
the closing as of December 31, 2016 requires the executive  
management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that  
affect the information reported in the Consolidated Financial  
Statements and the Notes thereto.  
unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding  
escalations based upon future conditions. The Group reassesses  
its oil and gas reserves at least once a year on all its properties.  
The Successful Efforts method and the mineral interests and  
property and equipment of exploration and production are presented  
in Note 7 “Intangible and tangible assets”.  
These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on  
historical experience and other factors believed to be reasonable at  
the date of preparation of the financial statements. They are reviewed  
on an on-going basis by management and therefore could be  
revised as circumstances change or as a result of new information.  
Impairment of assets  
As part of the determination of the recoverable value of assets for  
impairment (IAS36), the estimates, assumptions and judgments mainly  
concern hydrocarbon prices scenarios, operating costs, production  
volumes and oil and gas proved reserves, refining margins and  
product marketing conditions (mainly petroleum, petrochemical and  
chemical products as well as solar industry products). The estimates  
and assumptions used by the executive management are determined  
in specialized internal departments in light of economic conditions and  
external expert analysis. The discount rate is reviewed annually.  
Different estimates, assumptions and judgments could significantly  
affect the information reported, and actual results may differ from  
the amounts included in the Consolidated Financial Statements and  
the Notes thereto.  
The following summary provides further information about the key  
estimates, assumptions and judgments that are involved in  
preparing, the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes  
thereto. It should be read in conjunction with the sections of the  
Notes mentioned in the summary.  
Asset impairment and the method applied are described in Note 3  
“Business segment information”.  
Estimation of hydrocarbon reserves  
Employee benefits  
The estimation of oil and gas reserves is a key factor in the Successful  
Efforts method used by the Group to account for its oil and gas  
activities.  
The benefit obligations and plan assets can be subject to significant  
volatility due in part to changes in market values and actuarial  
assumptions. These assumptions vary between different pension  
plans and thus take into account local conditions. They are  
determined following a formal process involving expertise and Group  
internal judgments, in financial and actuarial terms, and also in  
consultation with actuaries and independent experts.  
The Group’s oil and gas reserves are estimated by the Group’s  
petroleum engineers in accordance with industry standards and  
SEC (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) regulations.  
Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas,  
which, by analysis of geosciences and engineering data, can be  
determined with reasonable certainty to be recoverable (from a  
given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing  
economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations),  
prior to the time at which contracts providing the rights to operate  
expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain,  
regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are  
used for the estimation.  
The assumptions for each plan are reviewed annually and adjusted  
if necessary to reflect changes from the experience and actuarial  
advices.  
Payroll, staff and employee benefits obligations and the method  
applied are described in Note 10 “Payroll, staff and employee  
benefits obligations”.  
Asset retirement obligations  
Proved oil and gas reserves are calculated using a 12-month  
average price determined as the unweighted arithmetic average of  
the first-day-of-the-month price for each month of the relevant year  
Asset retirement obligations, which result from a legal or  
constructive obligation, are recognized based on a reasonable  
estimate in the period in which the obligation arises.

Consolidated Financial Statements  
Note 1 – Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 10  
This estimate is based on information available in terms of costs  
and work program. It is regularly reviewed to take into account the  
changes in laws and regulations, the estimates of reserves and  
production, the analysis of site conditions and technologies.  
Deferred tax assets are recognized in the accounts to the extent  
that their recovery is considered probable. The amount of these  
assets is determined based on future taxable profits estimated  
inherently uncertain and subject to change over time. The exercise  
of judgment is required to assess the impact of new events on the  
value of these assets and including changes in estimates of future  
taxable profits and the deadlines for their use.  
The discount rate is reviewed annually.  
Asset retirement obligations and the method used are described in  
Note 12 “Provisions and other non-current liabilities”.  
In addition, these tax positions may depend on interpretations of  
tax laws and regulations in the countries where the Group operates.  
These interpretations may have uncertain nature. Depending on the  
circumstances, they are final only after negotiations or resolution of  
disputes with authorities that can last several years.  
Income Taxes  
A tax liability is recognized when a future payment, in application  
of a tax regulation, is considered probable and can be reasonably  
estimated. The exercise of judgment is required to assess the impact  
of new events on the amount of the liability.  
Incomes taxes and the accounting methods are described in Note  
11 “Income taxes”.  
Judgments in case of transactions not addressed by any accounting standard  
or interpretation  
Furthermore, when the accounting treatment of a specific transaction is not addressed by any accounting standard or interpretation,  
the management applies its judgment to define and apply accounting policies that provide information consistent with the general IFRS  
concepts: faithful representation, relevance and materiality.  
1) General accounting policies  
1
.1) Accounting policies  
If the consideration transferred is lower than the fair value of acquired  
identifiable assets and assumed liabilities, an additional analysis  
is performed on the identification and valuation of the identifiable  
elements of the assets and liabilities. After having completed such  
additional analysis, any badwill is recorded as income.  
A) Principles of consolidation  
Entities that are directly controlled by the parent company or indirectly  
controlled by other consolidated entities are fully consolidated.  
Non-controlling interests are measured either at their proportionate  
share in the net assets of the acquired company or at fair value.  
Investments in joint ventures are consolidated under the equity  
method. The Group accounts for joint operations by recognizing  
its share of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.  
In transactions with non-controlling interests, the difference between  
the price paid (received) and the book value of non-controlling  
interests acquired (sold) is recognized directly in equity.  
Investments in associates, in which the Group has significant  
influence, are accounted for by the equity method. Significant  
influence is presumed when the Group holds, directly or indirectly  
C) Foreign currency translation  
(e.g., through subsidiaries), 20% or more of the voting rights.  
Companies in which ownership interest is less than 20%, but over  
which the Company is deemed to exercise significant influence, are  
also accounted for by the equity method.  
The presentation currency of the Group’s Consolidated Financial  
Statements is the US dollar. However the functional currency of the  
parent company is the euro. The resulting currency translation  
adjustments are presented on the line “currency translation  
adjustment generated by the parent company” of the consolidated  
statement of comprehensive income, within “items not potentially  
reclassifiable to profit and loss”. In the balance sheet, they are  
recorded in “currency translation adjustment”.  
All internal balances, transactions and income are eliminated.  
B) Business combinations  
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition  
method. This method requires the recognition of the acquired  
identifiable assets and assumed liabilities of the companies  
acquired by the Group at their fair value.  
The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared in the currency  
that most clearly reflects their business environment. This is referred  
to as their functional currency.  
The value of the purchase price is finalized up to a maximum of one  
year from the acquisition date.  
(
i) Monetary transactions  
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional  
currency of the entity are translated at the exchange rate on the  
transaction date. At each balance sheet date, monetary assets  
and liabilities are translated at the closing rate and the resulting  
exchange differences are recognized in the statement of income.  
The acquirer shall recognize goodwill at the acquisition date, being  
the excess of:  
the consideration transferred, the amount of non-controlling  
interests and, in business combinations achieved in stages, the  
fair value at the acquisition date of the investment previously held  
in the acquired company;  
(ii) Translation of financial statements  
Assets and liabilities of entities denominated in currencies other  
than dollar are translated into dollar on the basis of the exchange  
rates at the end of the period. The income and cash flow statements  
over the fair value at the acquisition date of acquired identifiable  
assets and assumed liabilities.

are translated using the average exchange rates for the period.  
Foreign exchange differences resulting from such translations are  
either recorded in shareholders’ equity under “Currency translation  
adjustments” (for the Group share) or under “Non-controlling  
interests” (for the share of non-controlling interests) as deemed  
appropriate.  
1.2) Significant accounting policies applicable in the future  
The standards or interpretations published respectively by the  
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International  
Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC)  
which were not yet in effect at December 31, 2016, are as follows:  
– In July 2014, the IASB issued standard IFRS 9 “Financial  
Instruments” that includes requirements for the recognition and  
measurement of financial instruments. This standard brings  
together three phases: classification and measurement,  
impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting excluding  
macro-hedging. The standard is applicable for annual periods  
starting on or after January 1, 2018. The impacts of the application  
of this standard are under analysis.  
Standards adopted by the European Union at December 31, 2016  
In May 2014, the IASB issued standard IFRS 15 that includes  
requirements for the recognition of revenue from contracts with  
customers. The standard is applicable for annual periods starting  
on or after January 1, 2018. An analysis was performed at Group  
level in order to evaluate the impacts of the standard. Main issues  
analyzed are related to take or pay, incoterms, excise duties,  
principal vs agent considerations, variable price adjustment  
clause. Impact of the standard is expected to be not significant  
for the Group.  
• Standards not yet adopted by the European Union at  
December 31, 2016  
– In addition, in January 2016, the IASB issued standard IFRS 16,  
which sets out the principles for recognition of leases contracts.  
The standard is applicable for annual periods starting on or after  
January 1, 2019. A working group was set up to evaluate the  
impacts of the standard and manage the transition. This working  
group is currently identifying lease contracts and estimating  
expected impacts at Group level.  
2) Changes in the Group structure  
2.1) Main acquisitions and divestments  
In 2016, the main changes in the Group structure and main  
acquisitions and divestments were as follows:  
– In September 2016, TOTAL exercised its preemption rights to  
acquire Chesapeake’s 75% interests in the Barnett Shale  
operating area located in North Texas, in which it already held a  
25% interest since December 2009. The acquisition breakdown  
is presented in Note 2.2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.  
Upstream  
In March 2016, TOTAL finalized the sale to North Sea Midstream  
Partners of all its interests in the FUKA and SIRGE gas pipelines,  
and the St. Fergus gas terminal in the United Kingdom.  
Marketing & Services  
In January 2016, TOTAL finalized the acquisition of a majority  
0% interest in the leading Dominican fuel retailer.  
In June 2016, TOTAL has signed an agreement with Qatar  
Petroleum, granting the Group a 30% interest in the concession  
covering the offshore Al Shaheen oil field in Qatar for a period of  
7
– In April 2016, TOTAL finalized the sale to Demirören Group of its  
service station network and commercial sales, supply and  
logistics assets located in Turkey.  
25 years beginning July 14, 2017.  
In June 2016, TOTAL and Lampiris, the third-largest supplier of  
natural gas and renewable power to the Belgium residential sector,  
have signed an agreement under which TOTAL has acquired all of  
the shares in Lampiris. All regulatory approvals being obtained,  
the transaction was finalized on September 29, 2016.  
– In July 2016, in the activity of New Energies, TOTAL has acquired  
via a friendly tender offer a majority 90.14% interest in SAFT  
Groupe, a world leading designer and manufacturer of advanced  
technology batteries for the industry. In August 2016, following  
the reopening of the public tender offer, TOTAL increased its  
interest to 100%. The acquisition breakdown is presented in  
Note 2.2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.  
In August 2016, TOTAL finalized the transfer to Zarubezhneft of a  
20% stake and the operatorship in Kharyaga, Russia.

2.2) Major business combinations  
Upstream  
The acquisition was carried out in two steps:  
The acquisition of Chesapeake’s 75% interests in the Barnett  
Shale operating area was finalized on November 1, 2016 at cost  
of $638 million. In accordance with IFRS 3, TOTAL is currently  
assessing the fair value of identifiable acquired assets and  
assumed liabilities and contingent liabilities. At December 31, 2016  
the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and assumed  
liabilities amounted to $638 million of which $612 million of mining  
interests, $76 million of tangible assets and $(50) million of other  
assets and liabilities.  
– a first step where TOTAL obtained control over SAFT by the acquisition  
of 90.14% of its shares for an amount of 856 million ($954 million)  
and recorded on this operation a partial goodwill of 423 million  
($472 million);  
– a second step where TOTAL acquired the remaining 9.86%  
for an amount of 105 million, treated as a transaction with  
non-controlling interests.  
The net book value by main categories of assets and liabilities  
is as follows:  
Marketing & Services – New Energies  
($ million)  
At the acquisition date  
The acquisition cost of SAFT Groupe amounts to 961 million  
$1,064 million), for a net book value of the assets and liabilities  
acquired at 100% of 482 million ($535 million).

Following the sale offering of its electroplating activity Atotech in  
May 2016, the assets and liabilities have been classified in the  
consolidated balance sheet respectively in “assets classified as  
held for sale” for an amount of $1,077 million and “liabilities  
directly associated with the assets classified as held for sale”  
for an amount of $491 million at December 31, 2016. The assets  
and liabilities concerned mainly include tangible assets for an  
On October 7, 2016, TOTAL announced the sale of Atotech to the  
Carlyle Group for an amount of $3.2 billion. As of January 31, 2017,  
all required authorizations being obtained, the transaction was closed.  
3) Business segment information  
Description of the business segments  
The Group’s activities are divided into three business segments  
as follows:  
Financial information by business segment is reported in accordance  
with the internal reporting system and shows internal segment  
information that is used to manage and measure the performance  
of TOTAL and which is reviewed by the main operational decision-  
making body of the Group, namely the Executive Committee.  
– an Upstream segment including, alongside the activities of the  
Exploration & Production of hydrocarbons, the activities of Gas;  
– a Refining & Chemicals segment constituting a major industrial  
hub comprising the activities of refining, petrochemicals and  
specialty chemicals. This segment also includes the activities  
of oil Trading & Shipping; and marine shipping;  
The operational profit and assets are broken down by business  
segment prior to the consolidation and inter-segment adjustments.  
a Marketing & Services segment including the global activities  
of supply and marketing in the field of petroleum products as well  
as the activity of New Energies.  
Sales prices between business segments approximate market prices.  
In addition, the Corporate segment includes holdings operating and  
financial activities.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 3  
Definition of the indicators  
Adjustment items  
(i) Operating income  
Adjustment items include:  
(
measure used to evaluate operating performance)  
(
i) Special items  
Revenue from sales after deducting cost of goods sold and  
inventory variation, other operating expenses, exploration expenses  
and depreciation, depletion, and impairment of tangible assets and  
mineral interests.  
Due to their unusual nature or particular significance, certain  
transactions qualified as “special items” are excluded from the business  
segment figures. In general, special items relate to transactions that  
are significant, infrequent or unusual. However, in certain instances,  
transactions such as restructuring costs or assets disposals, which  
are not considered to be representative of the normal course of  
business, may be qualified as special items although they may have  
occurred within prior years or are likely to occur again within the  
coming years.  
Operating income excludes the amortization of intangible assets  
other than mineral interests, currency translation adjustments  
and gains or losses on the disposal of assets.  
(ii) Net operating income  
(measure used to evaluate the return on capital employed)  
Operating income after taking into account the amortization  
of intangible assets other than mineral interests, currency  
translation adjustments, gains or losses on the disposal of assets,  
as well as all other income and expenses related to capital employed  
(ii) The inventory valuation effect  
The adjusted results of the Refining & Chemicals and Marketing &  
Services segments are presented according to the replacement  
cost method. This method is used to assess the segments’  
performance and facilitate the comparability of the segments’  
performance with those of its competitors.  
(dividends from non-consolidated companies, equity in income  
of affiliates, capitalized interest expenses), and after income taxes  
applicable to the above.  
In the replacement cost method, which approximates the LIFO  
(Last-In, First-Out) method, the variation of inventory values in the  
statement of income is, depending on the nature of the inventory,  
determined using either the month-end prices differential between  
one period and another or the average prices of the period rather  
than the historical value. The inventory valuation effect is the difference  
between the results according to the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) and  
the replacement cost.  
The only income and expense not included in net operating income  
but included in net income Group share are interest expenses  
related to net financial debt, after applicable income taxes (net cost  
of net debt) and non-controlling interests.  
(iii) Adjusted income  
Operating income, net operating income, or net income excluding  
the effect of adjustment items described below.  
(iii) Effect of changes in fair value  
(iv) Fully-diluted adjusted earnings per share  
The effect of changes in fair value presented as adjustment items  
reflects for some transactions differences between internal measure  
of performance used by TOTAL’s management and the accounting  
for these transactions under IFRS.  
Adjusted net income divided by the fully-diluted weighted-average  
number of common shares.  
(v) Capital employed  
Non-current assets and working capital, at replacement cost, net of  
deferred income taxes and non-current liabilities.  
IFRS requires that trading inventories be recorded at their fair value  
using period end spot prices. In order to best reflect the management  
of economic exposure through derivative transactions, internal  
indicators used to measure performance include valuations of trading  
inventories based on forward prices.  
(vi) ROACE (return on average capital employed)  
Ratio of adjusted net operating income to average capital employed  
between the beginning and the end of the period.  
Performance indicators excluding the adjustment items, such as  
adjusted operating income, adjusted net operating income, and  
adjusted net income are meant to facilitate the analysis of the financial  
performance and the comparison of income between periods.  
Furthermore, TOTAL, in its trading activities, enters into storage  
contracts, which future effects are recorded at fair value in Group’s  
internal economic performance. IFRS precludes recognition of this  
fair value effect.

D) Asset impairment  
Accounting principles  
expectation of future economic and operating conditions.  
When this value is less than the carrying amount of the CGU,  
an impairment loss is recorded. It is allocated first to goodwill  
with a corresponding amount in “Other expenses”. Any further  
losses are then allocated to property, plant and mineral interests  
with a corresponding amount in “Depreciation, depletion and  
impairment of tangible assets and mineral interests” and to other  
intangible assets with a corresponding amount in “Other expenses”.  
The recoverable amounts of intangible assets and property, plant and  
equipment are tested for impairment as soon as any indication of  
impairment exists. This test is performed at least annually for goodwill.  
The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value (less costs  
to sell) or its value in use.  
Assets are grouped into cash-generating units (or CGUs) and tested.  
A CGU is a homogeneous group of assets that generates cash  
inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other  
groups of assets.  
Impairment losses recognized in prior periods can be reversed  
up to the original carrying amount, had the impairment loss  
not been recognized. Impairment losses recognized for goodwill  
cannot be reversed.  
The value in use of a CGU is determined by reference to the discounted  
expected future cash flows, based upon the management’s  
For the financial year 2016, asset impairments were recorded for an  
amount of $2,229 million in operating income and $2,097 million in net  
income, Group share. These impairments were qualified as adjustments  
items of the operating income and net income, Group share.  
quotas by OPEC and a steady growth in demand for hydrocarbons,  
particularly in emerging countries.  
In this context:  
-
for crude oil, the price level used for 2017 to determine the  
recoverable value of CGU in 2017 amounts to 50 dollars per  
barrel of Brent. This price rises progressively from 2018 to  
reach 80 dollars in 2020 and is gradually increasing beyond  
that date. These assumptions are broadly in line with the IEA’s  
New Policies Scenario: “In the New Policies Scenario, balancing  
supply and demand requires an oil price approaching $80/barrel  
in 2020 and further gradual increase thereafter”,  
Impairments relate to certain cash-generating units (CGUs)  
for which indicators of impairment have been identified, due to  
changes in operating conditions or the economic environment  
of the activities concerned.  
The principles applied are as follows:  
the future cash flows were determined using the assumptions  
included in the 2017 budget and in the long-term plan of the  
Group approved by the Group Executive Committee and the  
Board of Directors. These assumptions, including in particular  
future prices of products, operational costs, estimation of oil and  
gas reserves, future volumes produced and marketed, represent  
the best estimate of the Group management of all economic and  
technical conditions over the remaining life of the assets;  
- for gas, the Group estimates that due to new market balances  
that emerged in 2016, in particular a strong increase in supply,  
prices will appreciate more slowly than those of crude oil  
prices. Price level used in determining the recoverable value  
of concerned CGU for 2017 amounts to $5 per million BTU for  
the NBP price (Europe). It reaches $7 per million BTU in 2020,  
and will inflate beyond,  
the Group, notably relying on global energy demand from “World  
Energy Outlook” issued by IEA in 2016 and on its own supply  
assessments, sets the oil & gas prices scenarios based on  
assumptions about the evolution of core indicators of the  
Upstream segment (demand for oil & gas products in different  
markets, investment forecasts, decline in production fields,  
changes in oil & gas reserves and supply by area and by nature  
of oil & gas products), of the Downstream segment (changes in  
refining capacity and demand for petroleum products) and by  
integrating the climate issue (New Policies Scenario and 450ppm  
scenario of the IEA).  
– the future operational costs were determined by taking into  
account the existing technologies, the fluctuation of prices for  
petroleum services in line with market developments and the  
internal cost reduction programs effectively implemented;  
the future cash flows are estimated over a period consistent with  
the life of the assets of the CGU. They are prepared post-tax and  
take into account specific risks related to the CGU’s assets. They  
are discounted using a 7% post-tax discount rate, this rate being  
the weighted-average cost of capital estimated from historical  
market data. This rate was 7% in 2015 and 2014. The value in  
use calculated by discounting the above post-tax cash flows  
using a 7% post-tax discount rate is not materially different from  
the value in use calculated by discounting pre-tax cash flows using  
a pre-tax discount rate determined by an iterative computation  
from the post-tax value in use. These pre-tax discount rates  
range from 7% to 17% in 2016.  
These price scenarios, first prepared within the Strategy and  
Climate Department, are also reviewed by the Group segments  
which bring their own expertise. They also integrate studies issued  
by international agencies, banks and independent consultants. They  
are then eventually approved by the Executive Committee and the  
Board of Directors.  
At the end of 2016, the main scenario adopted by the Group is in  
line with the IEA’s New Policies scenario: the scenario forecasts a  
reduction in supply under the combined effect of the decline in oil  
industry investments since 2015 and the setting-up of production  
The CGUs for the Upstream segment are defined as oil and gas  
fields or groups of oil and gas fields with industrial assets enabling  
the production, treatment and evacuation of the oil and gas. For the  
year 2016, impairments of assets were recognized over CGUs of

the Upstream segment for an impact of $2,089 million in operating  
income and $1,867 million in net income, Group share. These  
impairments were mainly recognized on gas assets regarding the  
downward revision of gas price assumptions compared to the  
previous year. In particular, impairments concerned:  
The CGUs for the Refining & Chemicals segment are defined as  
legal entities with operational activities for refining and petrochemicals  
activities. Future cash flows are based on the gross contribution  
margin (calculated on the basis of net sales after purchases of  
crude oil and refined products, the effect of inventory valuation and  
variable costs). The other activities of the segment are global divisions,  
each division gathering a set of businesses or homogeneous products  
for strategic, commercial and industrial plans. Future cash flows are  
determined from the specific margins of these activities, unrelated  
to the price of oil. In year 2016, the Group recorded impairments on  
CGUs in the Refining and Chemicals segment for $25 million in net  
income, Group share. These impairments mainly concern intangible  
assets. A variation of (5)% or +5% of the gross margin on variable  
costs under identical operating conditions or (1)% or +1% of the  
discount rate would have no impact on the operating profit or the  
net profit, Group share.  
gas assets in the United Kingdom for $896 million in operating  
income and $650 million in net income, Group share;  
gas assets related to the GLNG project in Australia for an amount  
of $670 million in operating income and $556 million in net income,  
Group share;  
gas assets related to the ALNG project in Angola for an amount  
of $333 million in net income, Group share;  
assets in Kurdistan following the cessation of the Group’s activities  
in this region, for an amount of $200 million in operating income  
and $129 million in net income, Group share;  
and other assets in Nigeria, Congo and Russia.  
The CGUs of the Marketing & Services segment are subsidiaries  
or groups of subsidiaries organized by geographical area.  
For year 2016, the Group recorded impairments on the CGUs  
of the Marketing & Services segment for an amount of $140 million  
in operating income and $202 million in net income, Group share.  
These impairments primarily relate to assets of SunPower due to  
the depressed economic environment of solar activity.  
As for the sensitivity analysis:  
a decrease by one point in the discount rate would have a positive  
impact of approximately $0.5 billion in operating income and in  
net income, Group share;  
an increase by one point in the discount rate would have an  
additional negative impact of approximately $1.1 billion in  
operating income and approximately $0.8 billion in net income,  
Group share;  
In 2015, the Group recognized impairments of assets in the Upstream,  
Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services segments for an impact  
of $6,877 million in operating income and of $5,447 income and net  
income, Group share. These impairments were qualified as adjustments  
items of the operating income and net income, Group share.  
a variation of (10)% of the oil and gas prices over the long term  
plan would have an additional negative impact of approximately  
$2.9 billion in operating income and $2.3 billion in net income,  
Group share.  
In 2014, the Group recognized impairments of assets in the Upstream,  
Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services segments for an impact  
of $7,979 million in operating income and of $7,063 million in net  
income, Group share. These impairments were qualified as adjustments  
items of the operating income and net income, Group share.  
The most sensitive assets would be:  
the assets already impaired (impact of approximately $1.2 billion  
in operating income and in net income, Group share), including  
GLNG in Australia and ALNG in Angola;  
other assets (impact of approximately $1.7 billion in operating  
income and $1.1 in net income, Group share), including in Congo  
and Kazakhstan.  
No reversal of impairment was accounted for in respect of the years  
2014, 2015 and 2016.

Accounting policies  
Sales of goods  
Shipping revenues and expenses from time-charter activities are  
recognized on a pro rata basis over a period that commences upon  
the unloading of the previous voyage and terminates upon the  
unloading of the current voyage. Shipping revenue recognition  
starts only when a charter has been agreed to by both the Group  
and the customer.  
Revenues from sales are recognized when the significant risks and  
rewards of ownership have been passed to the buyer and when the  
amount is recoverable and can be reasonably measured.  
Revenues from sales of crude oil and natural gas are recorded  
upon transfer of title, according to the terms of the sales contracts.  
Solar Farm Development Projects  
Revenues from the production of crude oil and natural gas properties,  
in which the Group has an interest with other producers, are  
recognized based on actual volumes sold during the period.  
Any difference between volumes sold and entitlement volumes,  
based on the Group net working interest, is recognized as “Crude  
oil and natural gas inventories” or “Other current assets” or “Other  
creditors and accrued liabilities”, as appropriate.  
SunPower develops and sells solar farm projects. This activity  
generally contains a property component (land ownership or an  
interest in land rights). The revenue associated with the development  
of these projects is recognized when the project-entities and land  
rights are irrevocably sold.  
Revenues under contracts for construction of solar systems are  
recognized based on the progress of construction works, measured  
according to the percentage of costs incurred relative to total  
forecast costs.  
Quantities delivered that represent production royalties and taxes,  
when paid in cash, are included in oil and gas sales, except for the  
United States and Canada.  
Excise taxes  
Certain transactions within the trading activities (contracts involving  
quantities that are purchased from third parties then resold to third  
parties) are shown at their net value in sales.  
Sales include excise taxes collected by the Group within the course  
of its oil distribution operations. Excise taxes are deducted from  
sales in order to obtain the “Revenues from sales” indicator.  
Exchanges of crude oil and petroleum products within normal  
trading activities do not generate any income and therefore these  
flows are shown at their net value in both the statement of income  
and the balance sheet.  
Excise taxes are rights or taxes which amount is calculated based  
on the quantity of oil and gas products put on the market. Excise  
taxes are determined by the states. They are paid directly to the  
customs and tax authorities and then invoiced to final customers  
by being included in the sales price.  
Sales of services  
Revenues from services are recognized when the services have  
been rendered.  
The analysis of the criteria set by IAS 18 led the Group to determine  
that it was acting as principal in these transactions. On this basis,  
the sales presented include the amount of excise taxes invoiced  
to the customers.  
Revenues from gas transport are recognized when services are  
rendered. These revenues are based on the quantities transported and  
measured according to procedures defined in each service contract.  
5.2) Operating expenses and research and development  
Accounting policies  
The Group applies IFRS 6 “Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral  
Resources”. Oil and gas exploration and production properties and  
assets are accounted for in accordance with the Successful Efforts  
method.  
Geological and geophysical costs, including seismic surveys for  
exploration purposes are expensed as incurred in exploration costs.  
Costs of dry wells and wells that have not found proved reserves  
are charged to expense in exploration costs.

5.4.1) Inventories  
Accounting policies  
Inventories are measured in the Consolidated Financial Statements  
at the lower of historical cost or market value. Costs for petroleum  
and petrochemical products are determined according to the FIFO  
production costs (energy, labor, depreciation of producing assets)  
and an allocation of production overheads (taxes, maintenance,  
insurance, etc.). Costs of chemical product inventories consist of raw  
material costs, direct labor costs and an allocation of production  
overheads. Start-up costs, general administrative costs and  
financing costs are excluded from the cost price of refined and  
chemicals products.  
(First-In, First-Out) method and other inventories are measured  
using the weighted-average cost method. In addition stocks held  
for trading are measured at fair value less costs of sale.  
Refining & Chemicals  
Petroleum product inventories are mainly comprised of crude oil  
and refined products. Refined products principally consist of  
gasoline, distillate and fuel produced by the Group’s refineries.  
The turnover of petroleum products does not exceed more than  
two months on average. Crude oil costs include raw material and  
receiving costs. Refining costs principally include crude oil costs,  
Marketing & Services  
The costs of refined products include mainly raw materials costs,  
production costs (energy, labor, depreciation of producing assets)  
and an allocation of production overheads (taxes, maintenance,  
insurance, etc.). General administrative costs and financing costs  
are excluded from the cost price of refined products.

Products purchased from entities external to the Group are  
valued at their purchase cost plus primary costs of transport.  
– if emission rights to be surrendered at the end of the compliance  
period are higher than emission rights recorded in inventories,  
the shortage is accounted for as a liability at market value;  
Carbon dioxide emission rights  
forward transactions are recognized at their fair market value  
in the balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of such forward  
transactions are recognized in the statement of income.  
In the absence of a current IFRS standard or interpretation on  
accounting for emission rights of carbon dioxide, the following  
principles are applied:  
Energy savings certificates  
emission rights are managed as a cost of production and as  
such are recognized in inventories:  
In the absence of current IFRS standards or interpretations on  
accounting for energy savings certificates (ESC), the following  
principles are applied:  
-
emission rights allocated for free are booked in inventories with  
a nil carrying amount,  
-
-
purchased emission rights are booked at acquisition cost,  
sales or annual restorations of emission rights consist of  
decreases in inventories recognized based on a weighted  
average cost,  
if the carrying amount of inventories at closing date is higher  
than the market value, an impairment loss is recorded.  
– if the obligations linked to the sales of energy are greater than the  
number of ESC’s held then a liability is recorded. These liabilities  
are valued based on the price of the last transactions;  
– in the event that the number of ESC’s held exceeds the obligation  
at the balance sheet date this is accounted for as inventory;  
– ESC inventories are valued at weighted average cost (acquisition  
cost for those ESC’s acquired or cost incurred for those ESC’s  
generated internally).  
-
at each closing, a provision is recorded in order to materialize  
the obligation to surrender emission rights related to the emissions  
of the period. This provision is calculated based on estimated  
emissions of the period, valued at weighted average cost of the  
inventories at the end of the period. It is reversed when the emission  
rights are surrendered;  
If the carrying value of the inventory of certificates at the balance  
sheet date is higher than the market value, an impairment loss  
is recorded.

are being incurred for development studies and whether  
the Group is waiting for governmental or other third-party  
authorization of a proposed project, or availability of capacity

and assets are accounted for in accordance with the Successful  
Efforts method.  
Mineral interests are tested for impairment on a regular basis,  
property-by-property, based on the results of the exploratory activity  
and the management’s evaluation.  
Costs of exploratory wells not meeting these conditions are charged  
to exploration costs.  
In the event of a discovery, the unproved mineral interests are transferred  
to proved mineral interests at their net book value as soon as proved  
reserves are booked.  
Proved mineral interests are depreciated using the unit-of-production  
method based on proved reserves. The corresponding expense is  
recorded as depreciation of tangible assets and mineral interests.  
Exploratory wells are tested for impairment on a well-by-well basis  
and accounted for as follows:  
Goodwill and other intangible assets excluding mineral interests  
Other intangible assets include goodwill, patents, trademarks, and  
lease rights.  
costs of exploratory wells which result in proved reserves are  
capitalized and then depreciated using the unit-of-production  
method based on proved developed reserves;  
Intangible assets are carried at cost, after deducting any accumulated  
amortization and accumulated impairment losses.  
costs of exploratory wells are temporarily capitalized until a  
determination is made as to whether the well has found proved  
reserves if both of the following conditions are met:  
Guidance for calculating goodwill is presented in Note 1.1 paragraph B  
to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Goodwill is not amortized  
but is tested for impairment at least annually and as soon as there  
is any indication of impairment.  
-
the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify, if  
appropriate, its completion as a producing well, assuming that  
the required capital expenditures are made,  
Intangible assets (excluding mineral interests) that have a finite useful  
life are amortized on a straight-line basis over three to twenty years  
depending on the useful life of the assets. The corresponding  
expense is recorded under other expense.  
-
the Group is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves  
and the economic and operating viability of the project.  
This progress is evaluated on the basis of indicators such as

Accounting policies  
Exploration & Production Oil and Gas producing assets  
Other property, plant and equipment excluding  
Exploration & Production  
Development costs incurred for the drilling of development wells  
and for the construction of production facilities are capitalized,  
together with borrowing costs incurred during the period of  
construction and the present value of estimated future costs of  
asset retirement obligations. The depletion rate is equal to the ratio  
of oil and gas production for the period to proved developed  
reserves (unit-of-production method). In the event that, due to the  
price effect on reserves evaluation, the unit-of-production method  
does not reflect properly the useful life of the asset, an alternative  
depreciation method is applied based on the reserves evaluated  
with the price of the previous year. With respect to phased development  
projects or projects subject to progressive well production start-up,  
the fixed assets’ depreciable amount, excluding production or  
service wells, is adjusted to exclude the portion of development  
costs attributable to the undeveloped reserves of these projects.  
With respect to production sharing contracts, the unit-of-production  
method is based on the portion of production and reserves assigned  
to the Group taking into account estimates based on the contractual  
clauses regarding the reimbursement of exploration, development  
and production costs (cost oil/gas) as well as the sharing of hydrocarbon  
rights (profit oil/gas). Hydrocarbon transportation and processing  
assets are depreciated using the unit-of-production method based  
on throughput or by using the straight-line method whichever best  
reflects the duration of use of the economic life of the asset.  
Other property, plant and equipment are carried at cost, after  
deducting any accumulated depreciation and accumulated  
impairment losses. This cost includes borrowing costs directly  
attributable to the acquisition or production of a qualifying asset  
incurred until assets are placed in service. Borrowing costs are  
capitalized as follows:  
if the project benefits from a specific funding, the capitalization  
of borrowing costs is based on the borrowing rate;  
if the project is financed by all the Group’s debt, the capitalization  
of borrowing costs is based on the weighted average borrowing  
cost for the period.  
Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  
The costs of major turnarounds of refineries and large petrochemical  
units are capitalized as incurred and depreciated over the period of  
time between two consecutive major turnarounds.  
Other property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the  
straight-line method over their useful lives, which are as follows:  
Furniture, office equipment, machinery and tools  
Transportation equipment  
Storage tanks and related equipment  
Specialized complex installations and pipelines

Accounting policies  
These assets are classified as financial assets available for sale and  
therefore measured at their fair value. For listed securities, this fair value  
is equal to the market price. For unlisted securities, if the fair value  
is not reliably determinable, the securities are recorded at their  
historical value. Changes in fair value are recorded in other  
comprehensive income. If there is any evidence of a significant  
or long-lasting impairment loss, a loss is recorded in the statement  
of income. This impairment is irreversible.

9.1) Shareholders’ equity  
The authorized share capital amounts to 3,449,682,749 shares as  
of December 31, 2016 compared to 3,467,448,093 shares as of  
December 31, 2015 and 3,416,388,282 as of December 31, 2014.  
As of December 31, 2016, the share capital of TOTAL S.A.  
amounted to 6,075,914,655.  
Number of TOTAL shares  
The Company’s common shares, par value 2.50, as of  
December 31, 2016 are the only category of shares. Shares may  
be held in either bearer or registered form.  
Double voting rights are granted to holders of shares that are fully-  
paid and held in the name of the same shareholder for at least two  
years, with due consideration for the total portion of the share  
capital represented. Double voting rights are also assigned to  
restricted shares in the event of an increase in share capital by  
incorporation of reserves, profits or premiums based on shares  
already held that are entitled to double voting rights.  
Share cancellation  
In 2016, TOTAL S.A. reduced the Company’s capital through the  
cancellation of shares.  
At the meeting held on December 15, 2016, and pursuant to  
the authorization of the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of  
May 11, 2012, the Board of Directors of TOTAL S.A. decided  
to cancel 100,331,268 treasury shares that TOTAL S.A. had  
previously bought back off-market from four of its 100% indirectly  
controlled subsidiaries.  
Pursuant to the Company’s bylaws (Statutes), no shareholder may  
cast a vote at a Shareholders’ Meeting, either by himself or through  
an agent, representing more than 10% of the total voting rights for  
the Company’s shares. This limit applies to the aggregated amount  
of voting rights held directly, indirectly or through voting proxies.  
However, in the case of double voting rights, this limit may be  
extended to 20%.  
Following this transaction the Group affiliates no longer hold  
treasury shares.  
This buyback of shares has no impact on the Consolidated  
Financial Statements of TOTAL S.A., the fully-diluted weighted-  
average shares and the earnings per share.  
These restrictions no longer apply if any individual or entity, acting  
alone or in concert, acquires at least two-thirds of the total share  
capital of the Company, directly or indirectly, following a public  
tender offer for all of the Company’s shares.  
TOTAL S.A. did not cancel any shares in 2014 and 2015.

Paid-in surplus  
value of the share capital. This reserve cannot be distributed  
to the shareholders other than upon liquidation but can be used  
to offset losses.  
In accordance with French law, the paid-in surplus corresponds to  
premiums related to shares, contributions or mergers of the parent  
company which can be capitalized or used to offset losses if the  
legal reserve has reached its minimum required level. The amount  
of the paid-in surplus may also be distributed subject to taxation  
except in cases of a refund of shareholder contributions to.  
If wholly distributed, the unrestricted reserves of the parent  
company would be taxed for an approximate amount  
of $569 million as of December 31, 2016 ($630 million as of  
December 31, 2015 and $755 million as of December 31, 2014)  
with regards to additional corporation tax to be applied on  
regulatory reserves so that they become distributable.  
As of December 31, 2016, paid-in surplus relating to TOTAL S.A.  
amounted to 28,961 million (30,265 million as of December 31,  
2
015 and 28,319 million as of December 31, 2014).  
Futhermore, the additional tax to corporate income tax of 3%,  
due on dividends distributed by French companies or foreign  
organizations subject to corporate income in France, established by  
the second corrective finance act for 2012 would be payable for an  
amount of $621 million as of December 31, 2016, ($450 million as  
of December 31, 2015 and $553 million as of December 31, 2014).  
Reserves  
Under French law, 5% of net income must be transferred to the  
legal reserve until the legal reserve reaches 10% of the nominal  
Earnings per share  
Accounting policies  
Earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (Group  
share) by the weighted-average number of common shares  
outstanding during the period, excluding TOTAL shares held by  
TOTAL S.A. (Treasury shares) and TOTAL shares held by the Group  
subsidiaries which are deducted from consolidated shareholders’  
equity.  
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income

to be a share buyback at the average market price over the period.  
The number of shares thereby obtained leads to a reduction in the  
total number of shares that would result from the exercise of rights.  
The weighted-average number of fully-diluted shares is calculated  
in accordance with the treasury stock method provided for by  
IAS 33. The proceeds, which would be recovered in the event  
of an exercise of rights related to dilutive instruments, are presumed  
In compliance with IAS 33, earnings per share and diluted earnings  
per share are based on the net income after deduction of the  
remuneration due to the holders of deeply subordinated notes.  
The variation of both weighted-average number of shares and weighted-average number of diluted shares respectively used in the calculation

9.2) Share-based payments  
Accounting policies  
The Group may grant employees stock options, create employee  
share purchase plans and offer its employees the opportunity to  
subscribe to reserved capital increases. These employee benefits  
are recognized as expenses with a corresponding credit to  
shareholders’ equity.  
The cost of employee-reserved capital increases is immediately  
expensed.  
The cost of the capital increase reserved for employees consists  
of the cost related to the discount on all the shares subscribed  
using both the classic and the leveraged schemes, and the  
opportunity gain for the shares subscribed using the leveraged  
scheme. This opportunity gain corresponds to the benefit  
of subscribing to the leveraged offer, rather than reproducing  
the same economic profile through the purchase of options in the  
market for individual investors.  
The expense is equal to the fair value of the instruments granted.  
The expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period  
in which the advantages are acquired.  
The fair value of the options is calculated using the Black-Scholes  
model at the grant date.  
The global cost is reduced to take into account the non transferability  
of the shares that could be subscribed by the employees over a  
period of five years. The valuation method of non transferability  
of the shares is based on a strategy cost in two steps consisting,  
first, in a five years forward sale of the nontransferable shares,  
and second, in purchasing the same number of shares in cash  
with a loan financing reimbursable “in fine”.  
For restricted share plans, the fair value is calculated using the  
market price at the grant date after deducting the expected  
distribution rate during the vesting period. The number of allocated  
equity instruments can be revised during the vesting period in  
cases of non compliance with performance conditions, with the  
exception of those related to the market, or according to the rate  
of turnover of the beneficiaries.

The performance shares, which are bought back by the Company  
on the market, are finally granted to their beneficiaries after a 3-year  
vesting period for the 2013 Plan and following Plans, and a 2-year  
vesting period for the previous Plans, from the date of the grant.  
The final grant is subject to a continued employment condition and  
one performance condition for the 2013 and 2014 Plans and two  
performance conditions for the 2015 and 2016 Plans. Moreover,  
the transfer of the performance shares finally granted will not be  
permitted until the end of a 2-year holding period from the date of  
the final grant.

The Board of Directors decided on July 27, 2016 to proceed with  
Total performance share grants in favor of certain employees and  
executive directors of the Company or companies of the Group,  
subject to the fulfillment of the presence conditions and of the two  
performance conditions.  
For both conditions, the average of the three “attribution rates”  
(on each of the three financial years on which the performance  
conditions are based), will be expressed in percentage and capped  
at 100%.  
The presence condition applies to all shares.  
The performance conditions, each of them respectively

C) SunPower plans  
Plan. Outstanding awards granted under these plans continue  
to be governed by their respective terms. As of January 1, 2017,  
approximately 7.0 million shares were available for grant under  
the 2015 Plan.  
SunPower has four stock incentive plans: the 1996 Stock Plan  
(“1996 Plan”), the Third Amended and Restated 2005 SunPower  
Corporation Stock Incentive Plan (“2005 Plan”), the PowerLight  
Corporation Common Stock Option and Common Stock Purchase  
Plan (“PowerLight Plan”) and the SunPower Corporation 2015  
Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”). The PowerLight Plan was  
assumed by SunPower by way of the acquisition of PowerLight in  
fiscal year 2007. Under the terms of all plans, SunPower may issue  
incentive or non-statutory stock options or stock purchase rights to  
directors, employees and consultants to purchase common stock.  
The 2015 Plan, which subsequently replaced the 2005 Plan, was  
adopted by the SunPower’s Board of Directors in February 2015,  
and was approved by shareholders in June 2015. The 2015 Plan  
allows for the grant of options, as well as grant of stock appreciation  
rights, restricted stock grants, restricted stock units and other  
equity rights. The 2015 Plan also allows for tax withholding  
obligations related to stock option exercises or restricted stock  
awards to be satisfied through the retention of shares otherwise  
released upon vesting.  
Incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, and stock  
appreciation rights may be granted at no less than the fair value of  
the common stock on the date of grant. The options and rights  
become exercisable when and as determined by SunPower’s  
Board of Directors, although these terms generally do not exceed  
ten years for stock options. Under the 1996 and 2005 Plans, the  
options typically vest over five years with a one-year cliff and  
monthly vesting thereafter. Under the PowerLight Plan, the options  
typically vest over five years with yearly cliff vesting. SunPower has  
not granted stock options since fiscal year 2008, and accordingly  
all outstanding options are fully vested. Under the 2005 and 2015  
plans, the restricted stock grants and restricted stock units typically  
vest in three equal installments annually over three years.  
The majority of shares issued are net of the minimum statutory  
withholding requirements that SunPower pays on behalf of its  
employees. During fiscal year 2016, 2015 and 2014, SunPower  
withheld 1,039,027 shares, 1,380,891 shares and 1,738,625  
shares, respectively, to satisfy the employees’ tax obligations.  
SunPower pays such withholding requirements in cash to the  
appropriate taxing authorities. Shares withheld are treated as  
common stock repurchases for accounting and disclosure purposes  
and reduce the number of shares outstanding upon vesting.  
The 2015 Plan includes an automatic annual increase mechanism  
equal to the lower of 3% of the outstanding shares of all classes  
of the SunPower’s common stock measured on the last day of the  
immediately preceding fiscal year, 6.0 million shares, or such other  
number of shares a determined by SunPower’s Board of Directors.  
Subsequent to the adoption of the 2015 Plan, no new awards are  
being granted under the 2005 Plan, the 1996 Plan, or the PowerLight

10) Payroll, staff and employee benefits obligations  
10.1. Employee benefits obligations  
Accounting policies  
In accordance with the laws and practices of each country, the  
Group participates in employee benefit plans offering retirement,  
death and disability, healthcare and special termination benefits.  
These plans provide benefits based on various factors such as  
length of service, salaries, and contributions made to the  
governmental bodies responsible for the payment of benefits.  
Defined benefit obligations are determined according to the Projected  
Unit Method. Actuarial gains and losses may arise from differences  
between actuarial valuation and projected commitments  
(depending on new calculations or assumptions) and between  
projected and actual return of plan assets. Such gains and losses  
are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income, with no  
possibility to subsequently recycle them to the income statement.  
These plans can be either defined contribution or defined benefit  
pension plans and may be entirely or partially funded with  
investments made in various non-Group instruments such as  
mutual funds, insurance contracts, and other instruments.  
The past service cost is recorded immediately in the statement of  
income, whether vested or unvested.  
The net periodic pension cost is recognized under “Other operating  
expenses”.  
For defined contribution plans, expenses correspond to the  
contributions paid.  
Liabilities for employee benefits obligations consist of the following:

Description of plans and risk management  
The pension benefits include also termination indemnities and early  
retirement benefits. The other benefits are employer contributions  
to post-employment medical care.  
The Group operates, for the benefit of its current and former  
employees, both defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans.  
In order to manage the inherent risks, the Group has implemented  
a dedicated governance framework to ensure the supervision  
of the different plans. These governance rules provide for:  
The Group recognized a charge of $157 million for defined contribution  
plans in 2016 ($159 million in 2015 and $157 million in 2014).  
The Group’s main defined benefit pension plans are located in  
France, the United Kingdom, the United States, Belgium and  
Germany. Their main characteristics, depending on the country-  
specific regulatory environment, are the following:  
the Group’s representation in key governance bodies or monitoring  
committees;  
the principles of the funding policy;  
the general investment policy, including for most plans the  
establishment of a monitoring committee to define and follow  
the investment strategy and performance and to ensure the  
principles in respect of investment allocation are respected;  
the benefits are usually based on the final salary and seniority;  
they are usually funded (pension fund or insurer);  
they are usually closed to new employees who benefit from  
defined contribution pension plans;  
– a procedure to approve the establishment of new plans or the  
amendment of existing plans;  
they are paid in annuity or in lump sum.

11) Income taxes  
Accounting policies  
Income taxes disclosed in the statement of income include the  
current tax expenses (or income) and the deferred tax expenses  
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates  
that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance  
sheet date. The tax rates used depend on the timing of reversals of  
temporary differences, tax losses and other tax credits. The effect  
of a change in tax rate is recognized either in the consolidated  
statement of income or in shareholders’ equity depending on the  
item it relates to.  
(or income).  
The expense (or income) of current tax is the estimated amount of  
the tax due for the taxable income of the period.  
The Group uses the method whereby deferred income taxes are  
recorded based on the temporary differences between the carrying  
amounts of assets and liabilities recorded in the balance sheet and their  
tax bases, and on carry-forwards of unused tax losses and tax credits.  
Deferred tax resulting from temporary differences between the carrying  
amounts of equity-method investments and their tax bases are  
recognized. The deferred tax calculation is based on the expected  
future tax effect (dividend distribution rate or tax rate on capital gains).  
Income taxes are detailed as follows:

The Group has unused tax losses for which deferred tax has not been recognized for an amount of $961 million as of December 31, 2016,  
mainly in the Upstream segment when the affiliate or the field concerned is in its exploration phase. The net operating losses created during  
this exploration phase will be useable only if a final investment and development decision is made. Accordingly, the time limit for the utilization  
of these net operating losses is not known.

Changes in the asset retirement obligation  
Accounting policies  
Asset retirement obligations, which result from a legal or constructive  
obligation, are recognized based on a reasonable estimate in the  
period in which the obligation arises.  
An entity is required to measure changes in the liability for an asset  
retirement obligation due to the passage of time (accretion) by  
applying a risk-free discount rate to the amount of the liability. Given  
the long term nature of expenditures related to our asset retirement  
obligations, the rate is determined by reference to the high quality  
rates for AA-rated Corporate bonds on the USD area for a long-term  
horizon. The increase of the provision due to the passage of time is  
recognized as “Other financial expense”.  
The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part  
of the carrying amount of the underlying asset and depreciated over  
the useful life of this asset.  
The discount rate used in 2016 for the valuation of asset retirement  
obligation is 4.5% as in 2015 and 2014 (the expenses are  
estimated at current currency values with an inflation rate of 2%).  
A decrease of 0.5% of this rate would increase the asset retirement  
obligation by $918 million, with a corresponding impact in tangible  
assets, and with a negative impact of approximately $94 million on  
the following years net income. Conversely, an increase of 0.5%  
would have a nearly symmetrical impact compared to the effect of  
the decrease of 0.5%.

be the contracting party to the contract, and two regions of the  
Russian Federation that were not even parties to the contract,  
launched an arbitration procedure against the aforementioned  
former subsidiary of Elf Aquitaine that was liquidated in 2005,  
claiming alleged damages of $22.4 billion. For the same reasons as  
those successfully adjudicated by Elf Aquitaine against Blue Rapid  
and the Russian Olympic Committee, the Group considers this  
claim to be unfounded as a matter of law and fact.  
Alitalia  
In the Marketing & Services segment, a civil proceeding was initiated  
in Italy, in 2013, against TOTAL S.A. and its subsidiary Total Aviazione  
Italia Srl before the competent Italian civil court. The plaintiff claims  
against TOTAL S.A., its subsidiary and other third parties, damages  
that it estimates to be nearly 908 million. This proceeding follows  
practices that had been condemned by the Italian competition  
authority in 2006. The parties have exchanged preliminary findings.  
The existence and the assessment of the alleged damages in this  
procedure involving multiple defendants remain contested.  
The Group has lodged a criminal complaint to denounce the  
fraudulent claim of which the Group believes it is a victim and, has  
taken and reserved its rights to take other actions and measures to  
defend its interests.  
FERC  
The Office of Enforcement of the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory  
Commission (FERC) began in 2015 an investigation in connection  
with the natural gas trading activities in the United States of Total  
Gas & Power North America, Inc. (TGPNA), a U.S. subsidiary of the  
Group. The investigation covered transactions made by TGPNA  
between June 2009 and June 2012 on the natural gas market.  
TGPNA received a Notice of Alleged Violations from FERC on  
September 21, 2015. On April 28, 2016, FERC issued an order to  
show cause to TGPNA and two of its former employees, and to  
TOTAL S.A. and Total Gas & Power Ltd., regarding the same facts.  
A class action has been launched to seek damages from these  
three companies.  
Blue Rapid and the Russian Olympic  
Committee – Russian regions and Interneft  
Blue Rapid, a Panamanian company, and the Russian Olympic  
Committee filed a claim for damages with the Paris Commercial  
Court against Elf Aquitaine, alleging a so-called non-completion by  
a former subsidiary of Elf Aquitaine of a contract related to an  
exploration and production project in Russia negotiated in the early  
1990s. Elf Aquitaine believed this claim to be unfounded and  
opposed it. On January 12, 2009, the Commercial Court of Paris  
rejected Blue Rapid’s claim against Elf Aquitaine and found that the  
Russian Olympic Committee did not have standing in the matter.  
On June 30, 2011, the Court of Appeal of Paris dismissed as  
inadmissible the claim of Blue Rapid and the Russian Olympic  
Committee against Elf Aquitaine, notably on the grounds of the  
contract having lapsed. The judgment of the Court of Appeal of  
Paris is now final and binding following two decisions issued on  
February 18, 2016 by the French Supreme Court to put an end to  
this proceeding.  
TGPNA has cooperated in the investigation with the U.S. authorities  
and contests the claims brought against it.  
Yemen  
Due to the security conditions in the vicinity of Balhaf, Yemen LNG,  
in which the Group holds a stake of 39.62%, stopped its  
commercial production and export of LNG in April 2015, when it  
declared force majeure to its various stakeholders. The plant is in a  
preservation mode.  
In connection with the same facts, and fifteen years after the  
aforementioned exploration and production contract was rendered

A) Contractual obligations  
Guarantees given against borrowings  
The Group guarantees bank debt and finance lease obligations  
of certain non-consolidated subsidiaries and equity affiliates.  
Maturity dates vary, and guarantees will terminate on payment  
and/or cancellation of the obligation. A payment would be triggered  
by failure of the guaranteed party to fulfill its obligation covered  
by the guarantee, and no assets are held as collateral for these  
guarantees. As of December 31, 2016, the maturities of these  
guarantees are up to 2043.  
Debt obligations  
“Non-current debt obligations” are included in the items “Non-  
current financial debt” and “Non-current financial assets” of the  
consolidated balance sheet. It includes the non-current portion of  
swaps hedging bonds, and excludes non-current finance lease  
obligations of $311 million.  
The current portion of non-current debt is included in the items  
Current borrowings”, “Current financial assets” and “Other current  
As of December 31, 2016, the guarantees provided by TOTAL S.A.  
in connection with the financing of the Ichthys LNG project  
amounted to $7,800 million.  
financial liabilities” of the consolidated balance sheet. It includes the  
current portion of swaps hedging bonds, and excludes the current  
portion of finance lease obligations of $8 million.  
Guarantees given against borrowings also include the guarantee  
given in 2008 by TOTAL S.A. in connection with the financing  
of the Yemen LNG project for an amount of $551 million and the  
guarantee given in 2016 by TOTAL S.A. in connection with the  
financing of the Yamal LNG project for an amount of $3,147 million.  
The information regarding contractual obligations linked to indebtedness  
is presented in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.  
Lease contracts  
The information regarding operating and finance leases is  
presented in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.  
In 2015, TOTAL S.A. has confirmed and extended guarantees  
for TOTAL Refining SAUDI ARABIA SAS shareholders’ advances  
for an amount of $1,013 million. As of December 31, 2016, the  
guarantees amount to $1,230 million.  
Asset retirement obligations  
This item represents the discounted present value of Upstream  
asset retirement obligations, primarily asset removal costs at the  
completion date. The information regarding contractual obligations  
linked to asset retirement obligations is presented in Note 12 to the  
Consolidated Financial Statements.  
Indemnities related to sales of businesses  
In the ordinary course of business, the Group executes contracts  
involving standard indemnities for the oil industry and indemnities  
specific to transactions such as sales of businesses. These  
indemnities might include claims against any of the following:  
environmental, tax and shareholder matters, intellectual property  
rights, governmental regulations and employment-related matters,  
dealer, supplier, and other commercial contractual relationships.  
Performance under these indemnities would generally be triggered  
by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third party claim.  
The Group regularly evaluates the probability of having to incur  
costs associated with these indemnities.  
Purchase obligations  
Purchase obligations are obligations under contractual agreements  
to purchase goods or services, including capital projects. These  
obligations are enforceable and legally binding on the Company  
and specify all significant terms, including the amount and the  
timing of the payments.  
These obligations mainly include: unconditional hydrocarbon  
purchase contracts (except where an active, highly-liquid market  
exists and when the hydrocarbons are expected to be re-sold  
shortly after purchase), reservation of transport capacities in  
pipelines, unconditional exploration works and development works  
in the Upstream segment, and contracts for capital investment  
projects in the Refining & Chemicals segment.  
Other guarantees given  
Non-consolidated subsidiaries  
The Group also guarantees the current liabilities of certain non-  
consolidated subsidiaries. Performance under these guarantees  
would be triggered by a financial default of the entity.  
Operating agreements  
B) Other commitments given  
As part of normal ongoing business operations and consistent  
with generally accepted and recognized industry practices,  
the Group enters into numerous agreements with other parties.  
These commitments are often entered into for commercial purposes,  
for regulatory purposes or for other operating agreements.  
Guarantees given for excise taxes  
These consist of guarantees given by the Group to customs  
authorities in order to guarantee the payments of taxes and excise  
duties on the importation of oil and gas products, mostly in France.  
C) Commitments received  
Sales obligations  
These amounts represent binding obligations under contractual  
agreements to sell goods, including in particular unconditional  
hydrocarbon sales contracts (except where an active, highly-liquid  
market exists and when the volumes are expected to be re-sold  
shortly after purchase).

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 13  
13.2) Lease contracts  
Accounting principles  
A finance lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards  
incidental to ownership from the lessor to the lessee. These contracts  
are capitalized as assets at fair value or, if lower, at the present  
value of the minimum lease payments according to the contract.  
A corresponding financial debt is recognized as a financial liability.  
These assets are depreciated over the corresponding useful life  
used by the Group.  
Leases that are not finance leases as defined above are recorded  
as operating leases.  
Certain arrangements do not take the legal form of a lease but  
convey the right to use an asset or a group of assets in return for  
fixed payments. Such arrangements are accounted for as leases  
and are analyzed to determine whether they should be classified as  
operating leases or as finance leases.  
The Group leases real estate, retail stations, ships, and other equipment (see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).  
The future minimum lease payments on operating and finance leases to which the Group is committed are as follows:

15.2) Fair value of financial instruments (excluding commodity contracts)  
Accounting policies  
The Group uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to risks  
of changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity  
prices. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments are recognized  
in the statement of income or in other comprehensive income and are  
recognized in the balance sheet in the accounts corresponding to their  
nature, according to the risk management strategy. The derivative  
instruments used by the Group are the following:  
In case of the anticipated termination of derivative instruments  
accounted for as fair value hedges, the amount paid or received  
is recognized in the statement of income and:  
if this termination is due to an early cancellation of the hedged  
items, the adjustment previously recorded as revaluation of  
those hedged items is also recognized in the statement of  
income;  
Cash management  
– if the hedged items remain in the balance sheet, the adjustment  
previously recorded as a revaluation of those hedged items is  
spread over the remaining life of those items.  
Financial instruments used for cash management purposes are part  
of a hedging strategy of currency and interest rate risks within  
global limits set by the Group and are considered to be used for  
transactions (held for trading). Changes in fair value are systematically  
recorded in the statement of income. The balance sheet value of  
those instruments is included in “Current financial assets” or “Other  
current financial liabilities”.  
2
) Cash flow hedge of the currency risk of the external debt.  
Changes in fair value are recorded in Other comprehensive  
Income for the effective portion of the hedging and in the  
statement of income for the ineffective portion of the hedging.  
Amounts recorded in equity are transferred to the income  
statement when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss.  
Long-term financing  
When an external long-term financing is set up, specifically to  
finance subsidiaries, and when this financing involves currency and  
interest rate derivatives, these instruments are qualified as:  
The fair value of those hedging instruments of long-term financing  
is included in assets under “Non-current financial assets” or in  
liabilities under “Non-current financial debt” for the non-current  
portion. The current portion (less than one year) is accounted for  
in “Current financial assets” or “Other current financial liabilities”.  
1
) Fair value hedge of the interest rate risk on the external debt and  
of the currency risk of the loans to subsidiaries. Changes in fair  
value of derivatives are recognized in the statement of income as  
are changes in fair value of underlying financial debts and loans  
to subsidiaries.  
If the hedging instrument expires, is sold or terminated by  
anticipation, gains or losses previously recognized in equity  
remain in equity. Amounts are reclassified to the income statement  
only when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss.  
The fair value of those hedging instruments of long-term  
financing is included in assets under “Non-current financial  
assets” or in liabilities under “Non-current financial debt “for the  
non-current portion. The current portion (less than one year) is  
accounted for in “Current financial assets” or “Other current  
financial liabilities”.  
Foreign subsidiaries’ equity hedge  
Certain financial instruments hedge against risks related to the equity  
of foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the euro  
(
mainly the dollar). These instruments qualify as “net investment

hedges” and changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive  
income for the effective portion of the hedging and in the statement  
of income for the ineffective portion of the hedging. Gains or losses  
on hedging instruments previously recorded in equity, are reclassified  
to the statement of income in the same period as the total or partial  
disposal of the foreign activity.  
Commitments to purchase shares held by non-controlling  
interests (put options written on minority interests)  
Put options granted to non-controlling-interest shareholders are  
initially recognized as financial liabilities at the present value of the  
exercise price of the options with a corresponding reduction in  
shareholders’ equity. The financial liability is subsequently measured  
at fair value at each balance sheet date in accordance with contractual  
clauses and any variation is recorded in the statement of income  
The fair value of these instruments is recorded under “Current  
financial assets” or “Other current financial liabilities”.

the Group did not elect to set up hedge accounting for such  
instruments. The impact on income of the derivatives is offset  
by the impact of loans and current liabilities they are related to.  
Therefore these transactions taken as a whole do not have a  
significant impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.  
financial income on cash, cash equivalents, and current financial  
assets (notably current deposits beyond three months) classified  
as “Loans and receivables”;  
financial expense of long term subsidiaries financing, associated  
hedging instruments (excluding ineffective portion of the hedge  
detailed below) and financial expense of short term financing  
classified as “Financing liabilities and associated hedging

D) Fair value hierarchy  
Accounting policies  
Fair values are estimated for the majority of the Group’s financial  
instruments, with the exception of publicly traded equity securities  
and marketable securities for which the market price is used.  
Financial debts, swaps  
The market value of swaps and of bonds that are hedged by those  
swaps has been determined on an individual basis by discounting  
future cash flows with the zero coupon interest rate curves existing  
at year-end.  
Estimations of fair value, which are based on principles such as  
discounting future cash flows to present value, must be weighted  
by the fact that the value of a financial instrument at a given time  
may be influenced by the market environment (liquidity especially),  
and also the fact that subsequent changes in interest rates and  
exchange rates are not taken into account.  
Other financial instruments  
The fair value of the interest rate swaps and of FRA’s (Forward Rate  
Agreements) are calculated by discounting future cash flows on the  
basis of zero coupon interest rate curves existing at year-end after  
adjustment for interest accrued but unpaid. Forward exchange  
contracts and currency swaps are valued on the basis of a comparison  
of the negotiated forward rates with the rates in effect on the financial  
markets at year-end for similar maturities.  
As a consequence, the use of different estimates, methodologies  
and assumptions could have a material effect on the estimated fair  
value amounts.  
The methods used are as follows:  
Exchange options are valued based on the Garman-Kohlhagen  
model including market quotations at year-end.  
The fair value hierarchy for financial instruments, excluding commodity contracts, is as follows:

Consolidated Financial Statements  
Note 15 – Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 10  
15.3) Financial risks management  
Financial markets related risks  
Interest rate risk on non-current debt  
As part of its financing and cash management activities, the Group  
uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to changes in  
interest rates and foreign exchange rates. These instruments are  
mainly interest rate and currency swaps. The Group may also  
occasionally use futures contracts and options. These operations  
and their accounting treatment are detailed in Notes 14, 15.1 and  
The Group’s policy consists of incurring non-current debt at a  
floating rate or at a fixed rate, depending on the interest rates at the  
time of issue. Debt is incurred in dollars, in euros according to  
general corporate needs. Long-term interest rate and currency  
swaps may be used to hedge bonds at their issuance in order to  
create a variable or fixed rate synthetic debt. In order to partially  
modify the interest rate structure of the long-term debt, TOTAL may  
also enter into long-term interest rate swaps.  
15.2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.  
Risks relative to cash management operations and to interest rate  
and foreign exchange financial instruments are managed according  
to rules set by the Group’s senior management, which provide for  
regular pooling of available cash balances, open positions and  
management of the financial instruments by the Treasury  
Department. Excess cash of the Group is deposited mainly in  
government institutions, deposit banks, or major companies  
through deposits, reverse repurchase agreements and purchase of  
commercial paper. Liquidity positions and the management of  
financial instruments are centralized by the Treasury Department,  
where they are managed by a team specialized in foreign exchange  
and interest rate market transactions.  
Currency exposure  
The Group generally seeks to minimize the currency exposure of  
each entity to its functional currency (primarily the dollar, the euro,  
the pound sterling and the Norwegian krone).  
For currency exposure generated by commercial activity, the  
hedging of revenues and costs in foreign currencies is typically  
performed using currency operations on the spot market and, in  
some cases, on the forward market. The Group rarely hedges  
future cash flows, although it may use options to do so.  
The Cash Monitoring-Management Unit within the Treasury  
Department monitors limits and positions per bank on a daily basis  
and results of the Front Office. This unit also prepares marked-to-  
market valuations of used financial instruments and, when  
necessary, performs sensitivity analysis.  
With respect to currency exposure linked to non-current assets, the  
Group has a hedging policy of financing these assets in their  
functional currency.  
Net short-term currency exposure is periodically monitored against  
limits set by the Group’s senior management.  
The non-current debt described in Note 15.1 to the Consolidated  
Financial Statements is generally raised by the corporate treasury  
entities either directly in dollars or in euros, or in other currencies  
which are then exchanged for dollars or euros through swap issues  
to appropriately match general corporate needs. The proceeds  
from these debt issuances are loaned to affiliates whose accounts  
are kept in dollars or in euros. Thus, the net sensitivity of these  
positions to currency exposure is not significant.  
Counterparty risk  
The Group has established standards for market transactions under  
which bank counterparties must be approved in advance, based on  
an assessment of the counterparty’s financial soundness (multi-  
criteria analysis including a review of market prices and of the Credit  
Default Swap (CDS), its ratings with Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s,  
which must be of high quality, and its overall financial condition).  
An overall authorized credit limit is set for each bank and is allotted  
among the subsidiaries and the Group’s central treasury entities  
according to their needs.  
The Group’s short-term currency swaps, the notional value of which  
appears in Note 15.2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, are  
used to attempt to optimize the centralized cash management of  
the Group. Thus, the sensitivity to currency fluctuations which may  
be induced is likewise considered negligible.  
To reduce the market value risk on its commitments, in particular  
for swaps set as part of bonds issuance, the Treasury Department  
has concluded margin call contracts with significant counterparties.  
Sensitivity analysis on interest rate and foreign  
exchange risk  
Short-term interest rate exposure and cash  
The tables below present the potential impact of an increase or  
decrease of 10 basis points on the interest rate yield curves for  
each of the currencies on the fair value of the current financial  
instruments as of December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.  
Cash balances, which are primarily composed of euros and dollars,  
are managed according to the guidelines established by the Group’s  
senior management (to maintain an adequate level of liquidity,  
optimize revenue from investments considering existing interest rate  
yield curves, and minimize the cost of borrowing) over a less than  
twelve-month horizon and on the basis of a daily interest rate  
benchmark, primarily through short-term interest rate swaps and  
short-term currency swaps, without modifying currency exposure.

As a result of the policy for the management of currency exposure previously described, the Group’s sensitivity to currency exposure is  
primarily influenced by the net equity of the subsidiaries whose functional currency is the euro and the ruble, and to a lesser extent, the  
pound sterling, the Norwegian krone.  
This sensitivity is reflected in the historical evolution of the currency translation adjustment recorded in the statement of changes in  
consolidated shareholders’ equity which, over the course of the last three years, is essentially related to the fluctuation of the euro, the ruble  
and the pound sterling and is set forth in the table below:

The Group holds interests in a number of publicly-traded  
companies (see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).  
The market value of these holdings fluctuates due to various  
factors, including stock market trends, valuations of the sectors in  
which the companies operate, and the economic and financial  
condition of each individual company.  
agreements for the lines of credit granted to TOTAL S.A. do not  
contain conditions related to the Company’s financial ratios, to its  
financial ratings from specialized agencies, or to the occurrence of  
events that could have a material adverse effect on its financial  
position. As of December 31, 2016, the aggregate amount of the  
principal confirmed lines of credit granted by international banks to  
Group companies, including TOTAL S.A., was $11,164 million, of  
which $10,724 million was unused. The lines of credit granted to  
Group companies other than TOTAL S.A. are not intended to finance  
the Group’s general needs; they are intended to finance either the  
general needs of the borrowing subsidiary or a specific project.  
Liquidity risk  
TOTAL S.A. has confirmed lines of credit granted by international  
banks, which are calculated to allow it to manage its short-term  
liquidity needs as required.

The valuation allowance on accounts receivable, other operating  
receivables and on loans and advances is detailed in Notes 5 and 6  
to the Consolidated Financial Statements.  
Furthermore, in 2016 the Group conducted several operations of  
reverse factoring for a value of $275 million and some operations of  
stock disposal for a value of $366 million.  
As part of its credit risk management related to operating and  
financing activities, the Group has developed margining agreements  
with certain counterparties. As of December 31, 2016, the net  
margin call paid amounted to $2,605 million (against $124 million  
paid as of December 31, 2015 and $1,437 million received as of  
December 31, 2014).  
Credit risk is managed by the Group’s business segments as  
follows:  
Upstream segment  
Exploration & Production  
Risks arising under contracts with government authorities or  
other oil companies or under long-term supply contracts  
necessary for the development of projects are evaluated during  
the project approval process. The long-term aspect of these  
contracts and the high-quality of the other parties lead to a low  
level of credit risk.  
The Group has established a number of programs for the sale of  
receivables, without recourse, with various banks, primarily to  
reduce its exposure to such receivables. As a result of these  
programs the Group retains no risk of payment default after the  
sale, but may continue to service the customer accounts as part of  
a service arrangement on behalf of the buyer and is required to pay  
to the buyer payments it receives from the customers relating to the  
receivables sold. As of December 31, 2016, the net value of  
receivables sold amounted to $5,369 million. The Group has  
substantially transferred all the risks and rewards related to  
receivables. No financial asset or liability remains recognized in the  
consolidated balance sheet after the date of sale.  
Risks related to commercial operations, other than those  
described above (which are, in practice, directly monitored by  
subsidiaries), are subject to procedures for establishing credit  
limits and reviewing outstanding balances.  
Customer receivables are subject to provisions on a case-by-  
case basis, based on prior history and management’s  
assessment of the facts and circumstances.

Gas activities  
involved in the oil and gas industry or in the trading of energy  
commodities, or financial institutions. Credit risk coverage is  
arranged with financial institutions, international banks and  
insurance groups selected in accordance with strict criteria.  
Gas activities deal with counterparties in the energy, industrial  
and financial sectors throughout the world. Financial institutions  
providing credit risk coverage are highly rated international bank  
and insurance groups.  
The Trading & Shipping division applies a strict policy of internal  
delegation of authority governing establishment of country and  
counterparty credit limits and approval of specific transactions.  
Credit exposures contracted under these limits and approvals  
are monitored on a daily basis.  
Potential counterparties are subject to credit assessment and  
approval before concluding transactions and are thereafter  
subject to regular review, including re-appraisal and approval of  
the limits previously granted.  
The creditworthiness of counterparties is assessed based on an  
analysis of quantitative and qualitative data regarding financial  
standing and business risks, together with the review of any  
relevant third party and market information, such as data  
published by rating agencies. On this basis, credit limits are  
defined for each potential counterparty and, where appropriate,  
transactions are subject to specific authorizations.  
Potential counterparties are subject to credit assessment and  
approval prior to any transaction being concluded and all active  
counterparties are subject to regular reviews, including re-  
appraisal and approval of granted limits. The creditworthiness of  
counterparties is assessed based on an analysis of quantitative  
and qualitative data regarding financial standing and business  
risks, together with the review of any relevant third party and  
market information, such as ratings published by  
Credit exposure, which is essentially an economic exposure or  
an expected future physical exposure, is permanently monitored  
and subject to sensitivity measures.  
Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service and other  
agencies.  
Contractual arrangements are structured so as to maximize the  
risk mitigation benefits of netting between transactions wherever  
possible and additional protective terms providing for the  
provision of security in the event of financial deterioration and the  
termination of transactions on the occurrence of defined default  
events are used to the greatest permitted extent.  
Credit risk is mitigated by the systematic use of industry standard  
contractual frameworks that permit netting, enable requiring  
added security in case of adverse change in the counterparty  
risk, and allow for termination of the contract upon occurrence of  
certain events of default.  
Refining & Chemicals segment  
Credit risks in excess of approved levels are secured by means  
of letters of credit and other guarantees, cash deposits and  
insurance arrangements. In respect of derivative transactions,  
risks are secured by margin call contracts wherever possible.  
Refining & Chemicals  
Credit risk is primarily related to commercial receivables. Internal  
procedures of Refining & Chemicals include rules for the  
management of credit describing the fundamentals of internal  
control in this domain. Each Business Unit implements the  
procedures of the activity for managing and provisioning credit  
risk according to the size of the subsidiary and the market in  
which it operates. The principal elements of these procedures are:  
Marketing & Services segment  
− Marketing & Services  
Internal procedures for the Marketing & Services division include  
rules on credit risk that describe the basis of internal control in  
this domain, including the separation of authority between  
commercial and financial operations.  
-
implementation of credit limits with different authorization  
procedures,  
-
-
use of insurance policies or specific guarantees (letters of credit),  
regular monitoring and assessment of overdue accounts (aging  
balance), including collection procedures,  
provisioning of bad debts on a customer-by-customer basis,  
according to payment delays and local payment practices  
Credit policies are defined at the local level and procedures to  
monitor customer risk are implemented (credit committees at the  
subsidiary level, the creation of credit limits for corporate  
customers, etc.). Each entity also implements monitoring of its  
outstanding receivables. Risks related to credit may be mitigated  
or limited by subscription of credit insurance and/or requiring  
security or guarantees.  
-
(provisions may also be calculated based on statistics).  
Counterparties are subject to credit assessment and approval  
prior to any transaction being concluded. Regular reviews are  
made for all active counterparties including a re-appraisal and  
renewing of the granted credit limits. The limits of the  
Bad debts are provisioned on a case-by-case basis at a rate  
determined by management based on an assessment of the risk  
of credit loss.  
counterparties are assessed based on quantitative and  
qualitative data regarding financial standing, together with the  
review of any relevant third party and market information, such as  
that provided by rating agencies and insurance companies.  
New Energies  
Internal procedures for the New Energies division include rules  
on credit risk management. Procedures to monitor customer  
risk are defined at the local level, especially for SunPower (rules  
for the approval of credit limits, use of guarantees, monitoring  
and assessment of the receivables portfolio, provisioning of  
doubtful debts…).

16.1) Financial instruments related to commodity contracts  
Accounting policies  
Financial instruments related to commodity contracts, including  
crude oil, petroleum products, gas, and power purchase/sales  
contracts within the trading activities, together with the commodity  
contract derivative instruments such as energy contracts and  
forward freight agreements, are used to adjust the Group’s  
exposure to price fluctuations within global trading limits. According  
to the industry practice, these instruments are considered as held  
for trading. Changes in fair value are recorded in the statement of  
income. The fair value of these instruments is recorded in “Other  
current assets” or “Other creditors and accrued liabilities”  
depending on whether they are assets or liabilities.  
The valuation methodology is to mark-to-market all open positions  
for both physical and paper transactions. The valuations are  
determined on a daily basis using observable market data based on  
organized and over the counter (OTC) markets. In particular cases  
when market data is not directly available, the valuations are  
derived from observable data such as arbitrages, freight or spreads  
and market corroboration. For valuation of risks which are the result  
of a calculation, such as options for example, commonly known  
models are used to compute the fair value.

16.2) Oil and Gas market related risks management  
Oil and gas market related risks  
The Trading & Shipping division measures its market risk exposure,  
i.e., potential loss in fair values, on its crude oil, refined products  
and freight rates trading activities using a value-at-risk technique.  
This technique is based on an historical model and makes an  
assessment of the market risk arising from possible future changes  
in market values over a 24-hour period. The calculation of the range  
of potential changes in fair values is based on the end-of-day  
exposures and historical price movements of the last 400 business  
days for all traded instruments and maturities. Options are  
systematically re-evaluated using appropriate models.  
Due to the nature of its business, the Group has significant oil and  
gas trading activities as part of its day-to-day operations in order to  
optimize revenues from its oil and gas production and to obtain  
favorable pricing to supply its refineries.  
In its international oil trading business, the Group follows a policy of  
not selling its future production. However, in connection with this  
trading business, the Group, like most other oil companies, uses  
energy derivative instruments to adjust its exposure to price  
fluctuations of crude oil, refined products, natural gas, and power.  
The Group also uses freight rate derivative contracts in its shipping  
business to adjust its exposure to freight-rate fluctuations. To hedge  
against this risk, the Group uses various instruments such as  
futures, forwards, swaps and options on organized markets or  
over-the-counter markets. The list of the different derivatives held  
by the Group in these markets is detailed in Note 16.1 to the  
Consolidated Financial Statements.  
The “value-at-risk” represents the most unfavorable movement in  
fair value obtained with a 97.5% confidence level. This means that  
the Group’s portfolio result is likely to exceed the value-at-risk loss  
measure once over 40 business days if the portfolio exposures  
were left unchanged.

As part of its gas and power trading activity, the Group also uses  
derivative instruments such as futures, forwards, swaps and  
options in both organized and over-the-counter markets. In general,  
the transactions are settled at maturity date through physical  
delivery. The Gas division measures its market risk exposure, i.e.,  
potential loss in fair values, on its trading business using a value-at-  
risk technique. This technique is based on an historical model and  
makes an assessment of the market risk arising from possible  
future changes in market values over a one-day period. The  
calculation of the range of potential changes in fair values takes into  
account a snapshot of the end-of-day exposures and the set of  
historical price movements for the past two years for all instruments  
and maturities in the global trading business.

The Group has implemented strict policies and procedures to manage  
and monitor these market risks. These are based on the separation  
of control and front-office functions and on an integrated information  
system that enables real-time monitoring of trading activities.  
encourage liquidity, hedging operations are performed with  
numerous independent operators, including other oil companies,  
major energy producers or consumers and financial institutions.  
The Group has established counterparty limits and monitors  
outstanding amounts with each counterparty on an ongoing basis.  
Limits on trading positions are approved by the Group’s Executive  
Committee and are monitored daily. To increase flexibility and

Proved reserves estimates are calculated according to the  
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 4-10 of  
Regulation S-X set forth in the “Modernization of Oil and Gas  
Reporting” release (SEC Release n° 33-8995) and the Financial  
Accounting Standard Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update  
regarding Extractive Activities – Oil and Gas (ASC 932), which  
provide definitions and disclosure requirements.  
1.1. Assessment process for reserves  
The estimation of reserves is an ongoing process that is done  
within affiliates by experienced geoscientists, engineers and  
economists under the supervision of each affiliate’s General  
Management. Staff involved in reserves evaluation are trained to  
follow SEC-compliant internal guidelines and policies regarding  
criteria that must be met before reserves can be considered as  
proved. All of the Group’s proved reserves held in subsidiaries and  
equity affiliates are estimated within the affiliates of the Group with  
the exception of the proved reserves held by the equity affiliate PAO  
Novatek. The assessment of the net proved liquids and natural gas  
reserves of certain properties owned by PAO Novatek was  
completed as of December 31, 2016, in accordance with the  
standards applied by the Group, based on an independent third-  
party report from DeGolyer & MacNaughton. These independently  
assessed reserves account for 48% of PAO Novatek’s net proved  
reserves and 52% of the total net proved reserves TOTAL held in  
Russia as of December 31, 2016.  
the Development and Support to Operations division and composed  
of at least three Technical Reserves Committee members, are  
knowledgeable in the SEC guidelines for proved reserves evaluation.  
Their responsibility is to provide an independent review of  
reserves changes proposed by affiliates and ensure that reserves  
are estimated using appropriate standards and procedures.  
– At the end of the annual review carried out by the Development  
division and Support to Operations, an SEC Reserves  
Committee chaired by the Exploration & Production Senior Vice  
President Corporate Affairs and comprised of the Development  
and Support to Operations, Exploration, Strategy and Legal  
Senior Vice Presidents, or their representatives, as well as the  
Chairman of the Technical Reserves Committee and the RVP,  
approves the elements of the SEC reserve booking proposals  
concerning criteria that are not dependent upon reservoir and  
geosciences techniques. The results of the annual review and the  
proposals for including revisions or additions of SEC Proved  
Reserves are presented to the Exploration & Production  
The technical validation process relies on a Technical Reserves  
Committee that is responsible for approving proved reserves  
changes above a certain threshold and technical evaluations of  
reserves associated with an investment decision that requires  
approval from the Exploration & Production Executive Committee.  
The Chairman of the Technical Reserves Committee is appointed  
by the Senior Management of Exploration & Production and its  
members represent expertise in reservoir engineering, production  
geology, production geophysics, drilling and development studies.  
Executive Committee for approval before final validation by the  
Group’s General Management and Chief Financial Officer.  
The reserves evaluation and control process is audited periodically  
by the Group’s internal auditors.  
The RVP of the Development and Support to Operations division is  
the technical person responsible for preparing the reserves  
estimates for the Group. Appointed by the President of  
Exploration & Production, the RVP supervises the Reserve Entity,  
chairs the annual review of reserves, and is a member of the  
Technical Reserves Committee and the SEC Reserves Committee.  
The current RVP has over thirty years of experience in the oil and  
gas industry. He previously held several management positions in  
the Group in reservoir engineering and geosciences, and has more  
than fifteen years of experience in the field of reserves evaluation  
and control process. He holds an engineering degree from Institut  
National des Sciences Appliquées, Lyon, France, and a petroleum  
engineering degree from École Nationale Supérieure du Pétrole et  
des Moteurs (IFP School), France. He is the current Chairman of  
the Society of Petroleum Engineers Oil and Gas Reserves  
An internal control process related to reserves estimation is  
formalized and involves the following elements:  
A central Reserve Entity the responsibility of which is: to  
consolidate, document and archive the Group’s reserves; to  
ensure coherence of evaluations worldwide; to maintain the  
Corporate Reserves Guidelines Standards in line with SEC  
guidelines and policies; to deliver training on reserves evaluation  
and classification; and to conduct periodically in-depth technical  
review of reserves for each affiliate.  
An annual review of affiliates’ reserves conducted by an internal  
group of specialists selected for their expertise in geosciences  
and engineering and/or their knowledge of the affiliate. All members  
of this group, chaired by the Reserves Vice-President (“RVP”) of  
Committee and a member of the UNECE (United Nations Economic  
Commission for Europe) Expert Group on Resource Classification.

1.2. Proved developed reserves  
As of December 31, 2016, proved developed reserves of hydrocarbons  
crude oil, LNG, bitumen and natural gas) were 6,667 Mboe and  
represented 58% of the proved reserves. As of December 31,  
015, proved developed reserves of hydrocarbons (crude oil, LNG,  
bitumen and natural gas) were 6,186 Mboe and represented 53%  
of the proved reserves. As of December 31, 2014, proved  
developed reserves of hydrocarbons (crude oil, LNG, bitumen and  
natural gas) were 5,706 Mboe and represented 50% of the proved  
reserves. Over the past three years, the average of proved  
developed reserves renewal has remained above 1,100 Mboe per  
year, illustrating TOTAL’s ability to consistently transfer proved  
undeveloped reserves into developed status.  
(

1.3. Proved undeveloped reserves  
As of December 31, 2016, TOTAL’s combined proved undeveloped  
reserves of oil and gas were 4,851 Mboe compared to 5,394 Mboe  
at the end of 2015. The decrease of 543 Mboe of proved  
undeveloped reserves was due to the addition of 440 Mboe of  
undeveloped reserves related to extensions and discoveries,  
These reserves are expected to be developed over time as part of  
initial field development plans or additional development phases.  
The timing to bring these proved reserves into production will  
depend upon several factors including reservoir performance,  
surface facilities or plant capacity constraints and contractual  
limitations on production levels. The remaining proved undeveloped  
reserves correspond to undeveloped fields or assets for which a  
development has been sanctioned or is in progress.  
-340 Mboe due to revisions of previous estimates, -108 Mboe  
related to acquisitions/divestitures and -535 Mboe due to the  
booking of proved undeveloped reserves to proved developed  
reserves. In 2016, the cost incurred to develop proved undeveloped  
reserves (PUDs) was $11.8 billion, which represented 87% of 2016  
development costs incurred, and was related to projects located  
for the most part in Angola, Australia, Canada, the Republic  
of the Congo, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, Norway, the United Arab Emirates  
and the United Kingdom.  
The Group’s portfolio of projects includes a few large scale and  
complex developments for which reserves have remained proved  
undeveloped for more than five years or the Group anticipates that  
it may take more than five years from the time of recording proved  
reserves to the start of production. These specific projects  
represent approximately 29% of the Group’s proved undeveloped  
reserves and include developments in deep offshore Nigeria,  
in offshore Australia and Norway and in oil sands in Canada.  
The revisions to previous estimates of -340 Mboe were due to:  
-16 Mboe due to new information obtained from drilling and  
production history, including primarily revision of the proved  
undeveloped reserves in some fields in Russia, the Republic of  
the Congo and Nigeria, and additional infill wells in Qatar and the  
United Arab Emirates;  
These projects are highly complex to develop due to a combination  
of factors that include, among others, the nature of the reservoir  
rock and fluid properties, challenging market and operating  
environments, and the size of the projects. In addition, some of  
these projects are generally designed and optimized for a given  
production capacity that controls the pace at which the field is  
developed and the wells are drilled. At production start-up, only a  
portion of the proved reserves are developed in order to deliver  
sufficient production potential to meet capacity constraints and  
contractual obligations. Under these specific circumstances, the  
Group believes that it is justified to report as proved reserves the  
level of reserves used in connection with the approved project,  
despite the fact that some of these PUDs may remain undeveloped  
for more than five years. In addition, TOTAL has demonstrated in  
recent years the Group’s ability to develop and bring into production  
similar large scale and complex projects, including the development  
of deep-offshore fields in Angola, Nigeria, the Republic of the Congo,  
HP/HT fields in the United Kingdom, heavy oil projects in Venezuela  
and LNG projects in Qatar, Yemen, Nigeria and Indonesia.  
-262 Mboe due to economic factors as a result of lower yearly  
average hydrocarbon prices, including primarily a partial  
debooking of the Canadian oil sands proved undeveloped  
reserves, an economic cut-off effect (i.e., end of economic  
production coming earlier) on several fields, partially  
compensated by a higher entitlement share (from, in particular,  
assets in Canada and certain other production sharing and  
risked service contracts); and  
-62 Mboe due to other revisions including reclassification of  
certain projects out of proved reserves primarily in Nigeria and  
the United States.  
The overall decrease of -108 Mboe related to acquisitions/divestitures  
consists primarily of divestitures, including mainly the sales of a  
1.87% interest in Yamal (Russia), a 10% interest in Incahuasi & Aquio  
(Bolivia), a 20% interest in Kharyaga (Russia) and a 15% interest in  
Gina Krog (Norway).  
The tables provided below are presented by the following  
geographic areas: Europe and Central Asia (with figures shown for  
Russia separately), Africa (excluding North Africa), the Americas,  
Middle East and North Africa, and Asia-Pacific.  
Approximately 44% of the Group’s proved undeveloped reserves  
are associated with producing projects and are located for the most  
part in Russia, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, Norway, Canada and Qatar.

1.4. Estimated proved reserves of oil, bitumen and gas  
The following tables present, for oil, bitumen and gas reserves, an  
estimate of the Group’s oil, bitumen and gas quantities by  
geographic areas as of December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.  
– -347 Mboe due to economic factors as a result of lower yearly  
average hydrocarbon prices, including primarily a partial  
debooking of the Canadian oil sands proved undeveloped  
reserves, as well as an earlier economic limit on a number of  
other assets, partly compensated, in particular, by higher  
entitlement share from production sharing and risked service  
contracts; and  
Quantities shown correspond to proved developed and  
undeveloped reserves together with changes in quantities for 2016,  
2015 and 2014.  
The definitions used for proved, proved developed and proved  
undeveloped oil and gas reserves are in accordance with the  
revised Rule 4-10 of SEC Regulation S-X.  
– -61 Mboe due to other revisions including primarily a  
reclassification of certain projects out of proved reserves on a  
number of other assets.  
All references in the following tables to reserves or production are to  
the Group’s entire share of such reserves or production. TOTAL’s  
worldwide proved reserves include the proved reserves of its  
consolidated subsidiaries as well as its proportionate share of the  
proved reserves of equity affiliates.  
The acquisition in the Americas corresponds to the purchase of  
Chesapeake’s share in the Barnett closed in November 2016.  
For equity affiliates, the revisions of +83 Mboe for the year 2016  
were due to:  
+58 Mboe mainly due to new information obtained from drilling  
and production history mainly in Qatar and Russia; and  
+25 Mboe due to economic factors related to a higher entitlement  
share as a result of lower yearly average hydrocarbon prices.  
Significant changes in proved reserves between 2015 and 2016 are  
discussed below.  
For consolidated subsidiaries, the revisions of +88 Mboe for the  
year 2016 were due to:  
The extensions in Russia correspond mainly to the booking of the  
two last gas sales agreements on Yamal LNG.  
+496 Mboe due to new information obtained from drilling and  
production history mainly in the United Arab Emirates and the  
United States and the rebooking of certain fields onshore in Libya  
that re-started production;  
The acquisition in the zone of Middle East and North Africa  
corresponds to the entry in the Northern Oil Company operating  
the Al Shaheen field in Qatar.

1.8. Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows  
(excluding transportation)  
The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows  
relating to proved oil and gas reserve quantities was developed as  
follows:  
– future income taxes are computed by applying the year-end  
statutory tax rate to future net cash flows after consideration of  
permanent differences and future income tax credits; and  
estimates of proved reserves and the corresponding production  
profiles are based on existing technical and economic conditions;  
– future net cash flows are discounted at a standard discount rate  
of 10 percent.  
the estimated future cash flows are determined based on prices  
used in estimating the Group’s proved oil and gas reserves;  
These principles applied are those required by ASC 932 and do not  
reflect the expectations of real revenues from these reserves, nor  
their present value; hence, they do not constitute criteria for  
investment decisions. An estimate of the fair value of reserves  
should also take into account, among other things, the recovery of  
reserves not presently classified as proved, anticipated future  
changes in prices and costs and a discount factor more  
representative of the time value of money and the risks inherent in  
reserves estimates.  
the future cash flows incorporate estimated production costs  
(including production taxes), future development costs and asset  
retirement costs. All cost estimates are based on year-end  
technical and economic conditions;

. Report on the payments made to governments  
(
Article L. 225-102-3 of the French Commercial Code)  
Article L. 225-102-3 of the French Commercial Code (1) requires that  
large undertakings and public-interest entities that are active in the  
extractive industry or logging of primary forests disclose in an  
annual report payments of at least 100,000 made to governments  
in the countries in which they operate.  
 Dividends: dividends paid to a host government holding an  
interest in an Extractive Company.  
 Payments for infrastructure improvements: payments for local  
development, including the improvement of infrastructure, not  
directly necessary for the conduct of extractive activities but  
mandatory pursuant to the terms of a production sharing contract  
or to the terms of a law relating to oil and gas activities.  
The consolidated report of TOTAL is presented below pursuant to  
the aforementioned provisions. This report covers the  
Production entitlement: host Government’s share of production.  
aforementioned payments made by the Group’s extractive  
companies as defined below, for the benefit of each government of  
States or territories in which TOTAL carries out its activities, by  
detailing the total amount of payments made, the total amount by  
payment type, the total amount by project and the total amount by  
payment type for each project.  
This payment is generally made in kind.  
Government: any national, regional or local authority of a State  
or territory, or any department, agency or undertaking controlled by  
that authority.  
Project: operational activities governed by a single contract,  
license, lease, concession or similar legal agreement and that form  
the basis for payment liabilities with a Government. If multiple such  
agreements are substantially interconnected, they shall be  
considered as a single Project. Payments (such as company  
income tax when it concerns several projects which cannot be  
separated in application of the fiscal regulations) unable to be  
attributed to a Project are disclosed under the item “non-attributable”.  
This report has been approved by the Board of Directors of  
TOTAL S.A.  
Definitions  
The meaning of certain terms used in this report are set forth below:  
Extractive Companies: TOTAL S.A. and any company or  
undertaking of which the activities consist, in whole or in part, of the  
exploration, prospection, discovery, development and extraction of  
minerals, crude oil and natural gas, amongst others, fully  
consolidated by TOTAL S.A.  
Reporting Principles  
This report sets forth all payments as booked in the Extractive  
Companies’ accounts. They are presented based on the Group  
share in each Project, whether the payments have been made  
directly by the Group Extractive Companies as operator or indirectly  
through third-party operating companies.  
Payment: a single payment or multiple interconnected payments of  
an amount equal to, or in excess of, 100,000 (or its equivalent)  
paid, whether in money or in kind, for extractives activities.  
Payment types included in this report are the following:  
Production entitlement and Royalties that are mandatorily paid in  
kind and that are owed to host Governments pursuant to legal or  
contractual provisions (not booked in the Extractive Companies’  
accounts pursuant to the accounting standards) are reported in  
proportion to the interest held by the Extractive Company in the  
Project as of the date on which such Production entitlements and  
Royalties are deemed to be acquired.  
Taxes: taxes and levies paid on income, production or profits,  
excluding taxes levied on consumption such as value added  
taxes, custom duties, personal income taxes and sales taxes.  
Royalties: percentage of production payable to the owner of  
mineral rights.  
License Fees: license fees, surface or rental fees, and other  
consideration for licenses and/or concessions that are paid for  
access to the area where the extractive activities will be  
conducted.  
Payments in kind are estimated at fair value. Fair value corresponds  
to the contractual price of oil and gas used to calculate Production  
entitlement, market price (if available) or an appropriate benchmark  
price. These prices might be calculated on an averaged basis over  
a given period.  
License Bonus: bonuses paid for and in consideration of  
signature, discovery, production, awards, grants and transfers of  
extraction rights; bonuses related to achievement or failure to  
achieve certain production levels or certain targets, and  
discovery of additional mineral reserves/deposits.

This is a free translation into English of the original report issued in French and is provided solely for the convenience of English-speaking

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is entitled to receive benefits at retirement equal to those available to eligible members of the

compensation (fixed and variable) for the twelve-month period preceding the retirement of the person concerned.

Payment of this benefit is subject to performance conditions. The performance conditions are deemed to be met if at least two of the  
following three criteria are met:  
-
-
-
average return on equity (ROE) in the three years preceding the year of retirement is at least 10%;  
average debt-to-equity ratios for the three years preceding the year of retirement is less than or equal to 30%;  
TOTAL Group’s oil and gas production growth rate over the three years preceding the year of retirement is greater than or equal to  
the average growth rate of the following four oil companies: ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, BP and Chevron.  
-
Supplementary defined benefit pension plan  
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer also has a supplementary defined benefit pension plan. The plan is applicable to all corporate  
officers and employees whose annual compensation is greater than eight times the annual ceiling for calculating French social security  
contributions (Plafond annuel de la sécurité sociale, PASS), set at 308,928 for 2016, and above which there is no conventional pension plan.  
To be eligible for the supplementary pension plan, set up and financed by TOTAL S.A., members must be at least 60 years of age and  
have served the Company for at least five years. In addition, they must still be employed by the Company at the time of their retirement,  
unless they retire due to disability or take early retirement at your Company’s initiative after the age of 55. They must also have claimed  
their basic pension from the French social security.  
During its meeting on December 16, 2014, the Board of Directors decided to maintain the seniority vested by Mr Patrick Pouyanné in respect  
of his previous salaried positions with the Group since January 1, 1997.  
Average gross annual compensation (fixed and variable) over the retiree’s last three years of employment is taken into account to calculate  
the supplementary benefits.  
The supplementary benefit plan provides beneficiaries with a pension equal to the sum of 1.8% of the portion of the reference compensation  
between eight and 40 times the annual ceiling for calculating French social security contributions, and 1% of the reference compensation  
between 40 and 60 times the annual ceiling for calculating French social security contributions, which is multiplied by the number of years  
of employment (up to 20 years). The assessment basis for this supplementary plan is indexed to changes in the French Association for  
Supplementary Pensions Schemes (ARRCO) index.  
Aggregate supplementary and other pension plan benefits (other than those funded personally on a voluntary basis) may not exceed 45%  
of average gross compensation (fixed and variable) for the last three years of employment. In the event that this percentage is exceeded,  
the supplementary pension is reduced accordingly.  
At the date of his appointment as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Patrick Pouyanné had served the Company for 18 years and  
352 days. Pursuant to the new provisions of Article L. 225-42-1 of the French Commercial Code, the performance conditions to be defined  
by the Board of Directors may only be taken into account to calculate the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s additional pension rights  
for one year and 13 days as the current scheme limits the reference period to 20 years.  
The conditional rights awarded for the period from January 1, 1997 to December 18, 2015 inclusive correspond to a replacement rate  
of 34.14% of the portion of compensation that is between eight and 40 times the annual ceiling for calculating French social security  
contributions, and 18.96% of the portion of compensation that is between 40 and 60 times the annual ceiling for calculating French social  
security contributions. These conditional rights are not subject to performance conditions.  
The conditional rights awarded to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for the period from December 19, 2015 to December 31, 2016  
correspond to a maximum replacement rate of 1.86% of the portion of compensation that is between eight and 40 times the annual ceiling  
for calculating French social security contributions, and 1.04% of the portion of compensation that is between 40 and 60 times the annual  
ceiling for calculating French social security contributions. These additional rights are awarded subject to fulfilment by the Chairman and  
Chief Executive Officer of a performance condition, determined on the basis of the Company’s financial position.  
The performance condition is deemed to be fulfilled if the variable portion of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s compensation  
paid in 2017 for financial year 2016 is 100% of his base compensation due for financial year 2016. Should the variable portion not reach  
100% of his base compensation, the rights will be awarded on a pro rata basis.  
During its meeting on February 8, 2017, the Board of Directors noted that the specified performance condition had been fulfilled and  
Mr Patrick Pouyanné had additional vested pension rights for the period from December 19, 2015 to December 31, 2016.  
The Board of Directors also noted that Mr Patrick Pouyanné would not be entitled to further pension rights under the plan, given the terms  
for determining pension rights under the plan and the 20 years of service vested by Mr Patrick Pouyanné at December 31, 2016.  
Consequently, based on his seniority in the Company at December 31, 2016, the commitments made by TOTAL S.A. to the Chairman  
and Chief Executive Officer in terms of supplementary defined benefits and similar pension plans represented a gross annual retirement  
pension estimated at 599,320, which is 16.03% of Mr Patrick Pouyanné’s gross annual compensation, comprising the annual fixed  
portion for 2016 (1,400,000) and the variable portion paid in 2017 for financial year 2016 (2,339,400).  
The supplementary pension includes a clause whereby up to 60% of the amount will be paid to beneficiaries in the event of death after retirement.

Following the appointment of Mr Patrick Pouyanné as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of your Company, with effect as of December 19, 2015,  
at its meeting on December 16, 2015, your Board of Directors confirmed the commitments entered into previously by TOTAL S.A. in favor  
of Mr Patrick Pouyanné with regard to insurance and health care plans, in accordance with the following terms and conditions.  
Terms and conditions:  
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is covered by:  
-
the incapacity, disability and life insurance plan that covers all employees, which is borne in part by the Company, with two options  
in the event of death of a married employee. The first option entails a death benefit payment equal to five times the deceased’s annual  
compensation within the limit of 16 times the annual ceiling for calculating French social security contributions, corresponding to  
maximum of 3,138,240 in 2017. The amount is increased if there is a dependent child or children. The second option entails a death  
benefit payment equal to three times the deceased’s annual compensation within the limit of 16 times the annual ceiling for calculating  
French social security contributions, in addition to survivor benefits (for spouses and children’s education).  
-
a disability and life insurance plan for corporate officers and senior executives whose annual gross compensation is greater than  
16 times the annual ceiling for calculating French social security contributions, which is funded entirely by the Company. The contract,  
which was signed on October 17, 2002, guarantees the beneficiary a death benefit payment corresponding to two years’ compensation.  
This is defined as annual gross base compensation in France corresponding to 12 times the gross monthly salary for the last month of  
service prior to death, plus the highest amount of variable compensation received during one of the last five years of service in absolute  
value terms. The amount is increased to three years in the event of accidental death. In the event of accidental permanent disability,  
the beneficiary receives a payment proportional to the degree of disability. Death benefits are increased by 15% for each dependent  
child. Payments due under this contract are made after the deduction of amounts paid under the above-mentioned plan for all employees.

The commitments will apply if he is removed from office or his term of office is not renewed, in accordance with the following terms and conditions.  
Terms and conditions:  
The severance benefit is equal to two years’ gross compensation.  
The severance benefit is calculated based on gross compensation (fixed and variable) for the twelve-month period preceding the date of termination  
or non-renewal of the Chief Executive Officer’s term of office.  
The severance benefit is only paid if termination is imposed due to a change in control or strategy decided by the Company. It is not due in the  
event of gross negligence or willful misconduct or if the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer leaves the Company of his own will, accepts new  
responsibilities within the Group, or may claim full retirement benefits in the short term.  
Payment of the benefit is subject to performance conditions, which are deemed to be met if at least two of the following three criteria are met:  
-
-
-
the average return on equity (ROE) for the three years preceding the year of retirement is at least 10%;  
the average debt-to-equity ratio for the three years preceding the year of retirement is less than or equal to 30%;  
TOTAL Group’s oil and gas production growth rate over the three years preceding the year of retirement is greater than or equal to the  
average growth rate of the following four oil companies: ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, BP and Chevron.

Statutory auditor’s report on the annual financial statements 12  
2. Statutory auditors’ report on the financial statements  
This is a free translation into English of the statutory auditors’ report on the financial statements issued in French and it is provided solely for  
the convenience of English-speaking users. The statutory auditors’ report includes information specifically required by French law in such  
reports, whether modified or not. This information is presented below the audit opinion on the financial statements and includes an explanatory  
paragraph discussing the auditors’ assessments of certain significant accounting and auditing matters. These assessments were considered  
for the purpose of issuing an audit opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole and not to provide separate assurance on individual  
account balances, transactions or disclosures. This report also includes information relating to the specific verification of information given in  
the Management Report and in the documents addressed to the shareholders. This report should be read in conjunction with and construed  
in accordance with French law and professional auditing standards applicable in France.  
To the Shareholders,  
In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your annual general meeting, we hereby report to you, for the year ended  
December 31, 2016, on:  
the audit of the accompanying financial statements of TOTAL S.A.;  
the justification of our assessments;  
the specific verifications and information required by law.  
These financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors. Our role is to express an opinion on these financial statements  
based on our audit.  
I. Opinion on the financial statements  
We conducted our audit in accordance with professional standards applicable in France; those standards require that we plan and perform  
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit involves performing  
procedures, using sampling techniques or other methods of selection, to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the  
financial statements. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting  
estimates made, as well as the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient  
and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.  
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities and of the financial position of the company as at  
December 31, 2016 and of the results of its operations for the year then ended in accordance with French accounting principles.  
II. Justification of our assessments  
In accordance with the requirements of Article L. 823-9 of the French commercial code (Code de commerce) relating to the justification of  
our assessments, we bring to your attention the following matters:  
We assessed the methods adopted by your company to value investment in subsidiaries and affiliates as described in Note 1 to the financial  
statements and performed tests using sampling techniques to verify the application of these methods. As part of our assessments and based  
on the information available to date, we also verified the reasonable nature of the estimates derived from these methods.  
These assessments were made as part of our audit of the financial statements taken as a whole, and therefore contributed to the opinion we  
formed which is expressed in the first part of this report.  
III. Specific verifications and information  
We have also performed, in accordance with professional standards applicable in France, the specific verifications required by French law.  
We have no matters to report as to the fair presentation and the consistency with the financial statements of the information given in the  
Management Report of the Board of Directors and in the documents addressed to the shareholders with respect to the financial position  
and the financial statements.  
Concerning the information given in accordance with the requirements of Article L. 225-102-1 of the French commercial code (Code de  
commerce) relating to remunerations and benefits received by the directors and any other commitments made in their favour, we have  
verified its consistency with the financial statements, or with the underlying information used to prepare these financial statements and, where  
applicable, with the information obtained by your company from companies controlling your company or controlled by it. Based on this  
work, we attest the accuracy and fair presentation of this information.  
In accordance with French law, we have verified that the required information concerning the purchase of investments and controlling  
interests and the identity of the shareholders or holders of the voting rights has been properly disclosed in the Management Report.

Notes to the statutory financial statements  
4. Notes  
1) Accounting policies  
The 2016 financial statements have been prepared in accordance  
with French Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“French  
GAAP”) in force.  
Inventories  
Cost for crude oil and refined product inventories are determined  
according to the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method.  
Accounting principles retained for the elaboration of the financial  
statements of the 2016 financial year are identical to those of 2015.  
Inventories are valued at either the historical cost or the market  
value, whichever is lower.  
Property, plant and equipment  
Receivables and payables  
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost except those  
assets that were acquired before 1976 for which the basis has  
been revalued pursuant to French regulations. They are depreciated  
according to the straight-line method over their estimated useful  
life, as follows:  
Receivables and payables are stated at nominal value. Allowances  
for doubtful debts are recorded when the actual value is inferior to  
the book value.  
Provisions and other non-current liabilities  
Buildings  
20-30 years  
5-10 years  
2-5 years  
5-10 years  
3-5 years  
Furniture and fixtures  
Transportation equipment  
Office equipment and furniture  
Computer equipment  
A provision is recognized when TOTAL S.A. has a present obligation,  
legal or constructive, as a result of a past event for which it is  
probable that an outflow of resources will be required and when  
a reliable estimate can be made regarding the amount of the  
obligation. The amount of the liability corresponds to the best  
possible estimation.  
Intangible assets  
This item includes essentially:  
Foreign currency transactions  
purchase prices or production cost of the software, depreciated  
Receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are  
translated into euro at the year-end exchange rate. Translation  
differences for non-hedged items are recorded under “Currency  
Translation adjustment” on the assets or liabilities side of the  
balance sheet. Unrealized exchange losses are recorded as  
provisions.  
on their useful life which is generally between 1 year and 3 years;  
proved mineral interests correspond to the costs of exploration  
wells which result in proved reserves. The costs of activities  
correspond essentially to the entrance fees and the bonus giving  
access to proved reserves. At production start-up, the capitalized  
exploration wells are depreciated using the unit-of-production  
method based on proved developed reserves.  
Translation differences related to other foreign receivables and  
payables are recorded in the statement of income and offset  
by unrealized gains or losses from off-balance sheet hedging.  
Investments and loans to consolidated  
subsidiaries and equity affiliates  
Financial instruments  
Investments in consolidated subsidiaries and equity affiliates are  
accounted for at the acquisition cost, or the appraised value for  
investments affected by the 1976 legal revaluation.  
TOTAL S.A. uses financial instruments for hedging purposes only  
in order to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates and  
foreign exchange rates.  
Loans to consolidated subsidiaries and equity affiliates are stated  
at their nominal value.  
As part of this policy, the Company may use interest rate swap  
agreements and forward transactions. The difference between  
interest to be paid and interest to be received on these swaps  
or premiums and discounts on these forward transactions is  
recognized as interest expense or interest income on a prorated  
basis, over the life of the instruments.  
In the Upstream segment, in the absence of a development  
decision, allowances are recorded against investments and loans  
for an amount corresponding to the exploration costs incurred.  
When the existence of proved reserves is established, the value  
of the investments and loans is limited to the subsidiary expected  
pay-back evaluated at year-end.  
For other segments, allowances for impairment in value are  
calculated by reference to the Company’s equity in the underlying  
net assets, the fair value and usefulness of the investment.  
Other long-term financial investments are registered for their value  
of entrance to balance sheet. They are depreciated if the market  
value of the asset is lower than the net value.

rate and the salary increase and discount rate assumptions.  
TOTAL S.A. recorded 282 million as a provision for pension  
benefits and other benefits as of December 31, 2016 and

remaining length of service of employees involved.

The commercial foreign exchange positions are systematically  
covered by the purchase or sale of the corresponding currencies,  
mainly with cash transactions and sometimes on forward market.  
Regarding long-term assets in foreign currencies, the Company

them, as far as possible, with financing in the same currency.

of the financial instruments, especially through marked-to-market  
valuations and sensitivity estimations. Counterparty risk is monitored  
on a regular basis against limits set by the Group’s senior  
management.

A Group indicator intended to represent the margin after variable  
costs for a hypothetical complex refinery located around Rotterdam  
in Northern Europe that processes a mix of crude oil and other  
inputs commonly supplied to this region to produce and market the  
main refined products at prevailing prices in this region. The  
indicator margin may not be representative of the actual margins  
achieved by the Group in any period because of TOTAL’s particular  
refinery configurations, product mix effects or other company-specific  
operating conditions.

effect of changes in fair value  
The effect of changes in fair value presented as an adjustment item  
reflects, for some transactions, differences between internal  
measures of performance used by TOTAL’s executive committee  
and the accounting for these transactions under IFRS. IFRS requires  
that trading inventories be recorded at their fair value using period-end  
spot prices. In order to best reflect the management of economic  
exposure through derivative transactions, internal indicators used  
to measure performance include valuations of trading inventories  
based on forward prices. Furthermore, TOTAL, in its trading  
activities, enters into storage contracts, the future effects of which  
are recorded at fair value in the Group’s internal economic  
performance. IFRS precludes recognition of this fair value effect.  
G

NGL (natural gas liquids)  
A mixture of light hydrocarbons that exist in the gaseous phase at  
room temperature and are recovered as liquid in gas processing  
plants. NGL include very light hydrocarbons (ethane, propane and  
butane).  
I
inventory valuation effect  
The adjusted results of the Refining & Chemicals and  
Marketing & Services segments are presented according to the  
replacement cost method. This method is used to assess the  
segments’ performance and facilitate the comparability of the  
segments’ performance with those of its competitors. In the  
replacement cost method, which approximates the LIFO (Last-In,  
First-Out) method, the variation of inventory values in the statement  
of income is, depending on the nature of the inventory, determined  
using either the month-end price differentials between one period  
and another or the average prices of the period rather than the  
historical value. The inventory valuation effect is the difference  
between the results according to the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) and  
the replacement cost.

proved developed reserves  
Proved developed oil and gas reserves are proved reserves that  
can be expected to be recovered (i) through existing wells with  
existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of  
the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a  
new well; and (ii) through installed extraction equipment and  
infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the  
extraction is by means not involving a well.  
Area contractually granted to an oil and gas company (or a consortium)  
by the host country for a defined period to carry out exploration  
work or to exploit a field.  
petcoke (or petroleum coke)  
Residual product remaining after the improvement of very heavy  
petroleum cuts. This solid black product consists mainly of carbon  
and can be used as fuel.  
proved undeveloped reserves  
Proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves are proved reserves that  
are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage,  
or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is  
required for recompletion.  
polymers  
Molecule composed of monomers bonded together by covalent  
bonds, such as polyolefins obtained from olefins or starch and  
proteins produced naturally.  
proved and probable reserves (2P reserves)  
price effect  
Sum of proved reserves and probable reserves. 2P reserves are the  
median quantities of oil and gas recoverable from fields that have  
already been drilled, covered by E&P contracts and for which technical  
studies have demonstrated economic development in a long-term  
price environment. They include projects developed by mining.  
The impact of changing hydrocarbon prices on entitlement volumes  
from production sharing and buyback contracts. For example, as  
the price of oil or gas increases above certain pre-determined  
levels, TOTAL’s share of production generally decreases.  
production plateau  
Expected average stabilized level of production for a field following  
R
the production build-up.  
refining  
The various processes used to produce petroleum products from  
crude oil (e.g., distillation, reforming, desulphurization, cracking).  
production sharing contract/agreement (PSC/PSA)  
Exploration and production contract under which a host country or,  
more frequently, its national company, transfers to an oil and gas  
company (the contractor) or a consortium (the contractor group)  
the right to explore a geographic area and develop the fields  
discovered. The contractor (or contractor group) undertakes the  
execution and financing, at its own risk, of all operations. In return,  
it is entitled to a portion of the production, called cost oil/gas, to  
recover its costs and investment. The remaining production, called  
profit oil/gas, is then shared between the contractor (contractor group),  
and the national company and/or host country.  
renewable energies  
An energy source the inventories of which can be renewed or are  
inexhaustible, such as solar, wind, hydraulic, biomass and  
geothermal energy.  
reserve life  
Ratio of reserves at the end of the year to the production sold  
during the past year.  
reserves  
Estimated remaining quantities of oil and gas and related  
substances expected to be economically producible, as of a given  
date, by application of development projects to known  
accumulations.  
project  
As used in this document, “project” may encompass different  
meanings, such as properties, agreements, investments,  
developments, phases, activities or components, each of which  
may also informally be described as a “project”. Such use is for  
convenience only and is not intended as a precise description of  
the term “project” as it relates to any specific governmental law or  
regulation.  
reservoirs  
Porous, permeable underground rock formation that contains oil or  
natural gas.  
return on average capital employed (ROACE)  
proved permit  
Ratio of adjusted net operating income to average capital employed  
Permit for which there are proved reserves.  
at replacement cost between the beginning and the end of the period.  
proved reserves (1P reserves)  
return on equity (ROE)  
Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas,  
which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be  
estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible  
from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under  
existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government  
regulations, prior to the time at which contracts providing the right  
to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is  
reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or  
probabilistic methods are used for the estimation.  
Ratio of adjusted consolidated net income to average adjusted  
shareholders’ equity (after distribution) between the beginning and  
the end of the period. Adjusted shareholders’ equity for a given  
period is calculated after distribution of the dividend (subject to  
approval by the Shareholders’ Meeting).

seismic  
thermochemical conversion  
Method of exploring the subsoil that entails methodically sending  
vibration or sound waves and recording their reflections to assess  
the type, size, shape and depth of subsurface layers.  
Conversion of carbon energy sources (gas, coal, biomass,  
waste, CO ) through thermal transformation (chemical reactions  
2
controlled by the combined action of temperature, pressure and  
often of a catalyst). Gasification is an example.  
shale gas  
Natural gas trapped in very compact, low-permeable rock.  
train  
Facility for converting, liquefying, storing and off-loading natural gas.  
shale oil  
Oil in a source rock that has not migrated to a reservoir.  
turnaround  
Temporary shutdown of a facility for maintenance, overhaul and  
upgrading.  
sidetrack  
Well drilled from a portion of an existing well (and not by starting  
from the surface). It is used to get around an obstruction in the  
original well or resume drilling in a new direction or to explore a  
nearby geological area.  
U
unconventional hydrocarbons  
Oil and gas that cannot be produced or extracted using conventional  
methods. These hydrocarbons generally include shale gas, coal  
bed methane, gas located in very low-permeable reservoirs,  
methane hydrates, extra heavy oil, bitumen and liquid or gaseous  
hydrocarbons generated during pyrolysis of oil shale.  
silicon  
The most abundant element in Earth’s crust after oxygen. It does  
not exist in a free state but in the form of compounds such as silica,  
which has long been used as an essential element of glass.  
Polysilicon (or crystalline silicon), which is obtained by purifying  
silicon and consists of metal-like crystals, is used in the  
construction of photovoltaic solar panels, but other minerals or  
alloys may be used.  
unitization  
Creation of a new joint venture and appointment of a single  
operator for the development and production as single unit of an oil  
or gas field involving several permits/licenses or countries.  
special items  
Due to their unusual nature or particular significance, certain  
transactions qualifying as “special items” are excluded from the  
business segment figures. In general, special items relate to  
transactions that are significant, infrequent or unusual. In certain  
instances, transactions such as restructuring costs or asset  
disposals, which are not considered to be representative of the  
normal course of business, may qualify as special items although  
they may have occurred in prior years or are likely to recur in  
following years.  
unproved permit  
Permit for which there are no proved reserves.  
upgrader  
Refining unit where petroleum products, such as heavy oils, are  
upgraded through cracking and hydrogenation.  
steam cracker
