E2-5Substances of concern and substances of very high concern
Reported

Substances of concern and substances of very high concern

Policy and management approach

TotalEnergies monitors the use of substances of concern (SoC) and substances of very high concern (SVHC) across its operations, with particular focus on compliance with REACH regulations in Europe and equivalent frameworks in other regions.

Identification and listing

For operated sites:

  • Hazardous products such as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction (CMR) chemicals are listed and their risks identified as part of the One MAESTRO prevention framework
  • In countries with no regulatory framework, criteria of minimum toxicity, minimum bioaccumulation potential and maximum biodegradability are used to select chemicals
  • A documented chemical management procedure must be implemented to limit risks to the environment, taking into account selection, storage, transportation, use, possible associated emissions and disposal

For polymer production:

  • The Company carries out continuous assessment of substances used, in compliance with the strictest local regulations for health and environmental protection, particularly REACH regulations in the EU where most operated production sites are located

For Marketing & Services products:

  • Traceability of substances used and associated certifications are ensured from purchase to delivery of batches to customers
  • Safety data sheets accompany petroleum and chemical products marketed by the Company
  • Teams of regulatory experts, toxicologists and ecotoxicologists ensure preparation of safety documentation and REACH registration (or equivalent in other geographical regions)

Phase-out commitments

TotalEnergies is working to eliminate and/or replace, where possible, substances of concern and substances of very high concern. Action has been taken on operated facilities to:

  • Eliminate asbestos: The Company prohibits the use of materials containing asbestos in new buildings and installations. These components are gradually being removed from plants as part of a comprehensive asbestos removal plan launched several years ago
  • Eliminate PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls): The Company prohibits the use of equipment containing PCBs. These components have been progressively eliminated from installations as part of a global PCB elimination plan launched several years ago
  • Eliminate HFCs and HCFCs: In accordance with European Union regulations relating to fluorinated GHGs, the Company has banned since years the use of the targeted HFC and HCFC gases

Monitoring and reporting

Europe: In accordance with regulations, the Company's operated sites maintain an up-to-date list of substances of concern (SoC) and substances of very high concern (SVHC) present in their purchases and sales (with associated quantities).

Outside Europe: Regulations in force do not provide for similar monitoring. The Company has asked its operated sites located outside of Europe to engage in this process. Based on the data collected, it is not possible at this stage for the Company to publish an estimate of the quantities concerned in accordance with its quality assurance approach for published data.

Non-operated sites: The Company has questioned the operators of its non-operated sites to collect their information concerning SoC and SVHC. The operators of these sites are mainly located in countries not subject to European regulations and have no obligation to collect and make this information public. In 2024, less than 15% of third-party operated entities provided SoC and SVHC data, and the Company is therefore unable to publish this information. The Company has not identified any reasonable scientific basis for making estimates of these missing data at this stage.

Conclusion

TotalEnergies fully shares the desire to replace and/or minimize the use of substances of concern and to phase out the use of substances of very high concern in the industry. The Company regularly monitors product safety in order to eliminate and/or replace, where possible, substances of concern and extremely high concern that may be present in its industrial processes. However, quantitative disclosure of total SoC and SVHC tonnages is not yet available due to data collection challenges, particularly outside Europe and for non-operated sites.

Raw materials used by TotalEnergies for its activities (E5-4)

In 2024, the main raw materials used by TotalEnergies were:

Water

For details on the use of this resource, refer to point 5.2.3 of the report.

Hydrocarbons

  • Exploration & Production sector (ESRS perimeter): Consumption amounted to almost 40 Mt for production operations.
  • Other operations (ESRS perimeter excluding OBOs): Consumption exceeded 53 Mt. (Note: Data for OBOs could not be collected in 2024; a new request will be sent to operators in 2025.)

Circular raw materials

Circular raw materials include renewable raw materials (from biomass) and secondary raw materials (waste and residues). Consumption increased in 2024, mainly in connection with the development of biogas, biofuels, and circular polymers production activities.

Waste and residues1.50.80.60.5
Renewable raw materials3.13.02.92.9
Total circular raw materials4.63.83.43.4

Metals

The Company has collected data from its purchasing teams. This process led to the collection of data related to certain purchasing categories, but it was not possible to collect data on projects in 2024, which represent a significant proportion of metal purchases. Consequently, the information currently collected is not representative and the Company is therefore unable to publish it for 2024. For 2025, the Company will repeat its requests for information from suppliers to improve collection rates. However, a large number of suppliers are not subject to European regulations and are under no obligation to provide this data.

Data collection and monitoring

  • Water consumption and the quantities of secondary raw materials and renewable raw materials are monitored and reported annually by the Branches in the environmental reporting tool, which ensures traceability and archiving.
  • The total quantity of hydrocarbons is estimated annually at Company level based on information collected from the purchasing and supply teams and stored in the Company's environment reporting tool.

Packaging

So far, information on packaging is not available as it is not systematically declared by packaging producers.

E5-5Resource outflows
Reported

Resource outflows

TotalEnergies has set the ambition of producing 1 Mt/y of polymers from recycled or renewable materials by 2030. In 2024, TotalEnergies produced 89 kt of recycled or renewable polymers (including recycled or renewable base), compared to 80 kt in 2023 and 50 kt in 2022.

Biopolymers and plastics recycling

Biopolymers are produced either by replacing fossil feedstock in a steam cracking unit with biomass feedstock such as vegetable oils or hydrogenated residues, or directly by making low-carbon molecules such as polylactic acid (PLA) from sugar.

Mechanical recycling, the technology for which is more mature than that for chemical recycling, requires highly processed feedstock and cannot be used for every application of plastic, particularly most of those involving contact with food. This technology is suited to the needs of markets such as automotive and construction.

Advanced or chemical recycling makes it possible to process waste that cannot be recycled mechanically and to address other markets, such as those of plastics for food use; it requires more capital-intensive technologies and is still at the stage of industrial development. The purpose of the chemical recycling process is to break down used polymer in order to return, in one or more stages, to a monomer, which is the raw material of any polymer.

Circular economy initiatives

In partnership with Plastic Energy, TotalEnergies has built an advanced recycling plant in France, with the capacity to process 15 kt/y of plastic waste. This unit converts plastic waste by pyrolysis into a recycled raw material called TACOIL™. This raw material is then transformed by TotalEnergies into polymers with properties identical to those of virgin polymers, and in particular compatible with food use.

In March 2023, TotalEnergies and Paprec entered into a long-term commercial agreement to develop the first French value chain for chemical recycling of plastic film waste.

In September 2023, TotalEnergies announced the construction of a mechanical recycling unit at Grandpuits, scheduled to be commissioned in 2026, expected to produce 30 kt/y of high added value compounds consisting of up to 50% recycled plastic materials.

Lubricants circularity

In July 2024, TotalEnergies announced the acquisition of Tecoil, a Finnish company specializing in the manufacture of re-refined base oils (RRBO). Tecoil operates a plant in Hamina with a production capacity of 50 kt/year of re-refined base oils, with properties comparable to the best virgin base oils. This integration is expected to accelerate the use of these oils in the manufacture of top-of-the-range lubricants to meet customers' growing demand for increasingly high-performance and circular products.

TotalEnergies has been a founding member since 2019 of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, which brings together more than 80 members and project partners, aiming to develop and implement solutions to reduce plastic waste in the environment.

E5-5Waste
Reported

Waste

Target and performance

Target: Recycle more than 70% of the waste from sites operated by the Company's subsidiaries (excluding digestate from biogas units)

Performance: 71% of the waste produced by sites operated by the Company's subsidiaries was recycled in 2024

Waste management approach

TotalEnergies applies a waste management hierarchy across its operations, prioritizing reduction, reuse, and recycling over disposal. The Company focuses on recycling waste from production sites of subsidiaries in the Exploration & Production segment, sites producing more than 250 kt/y in the Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services segments, as well as gas-fired power plants in the Integrated Power segment.

Digestate valorization

The anaerobic digestion process in biogas production generates a co-product, digestate, a natural fertilizer with high agronomic value, which is used by farmers to replace synthetic fertilizers, in a virtuous circular economy scheme. With 500 kt of digestate, this makes nearly 33 kt/y of chemical fertilizers that are replaced by a natural fertilizer.
