Multinational petroleum refining oil company, Total, has changed its name to Total Energies.
The change in name follows an approval of the company’s Board of Directors.
The decision to rebrand the company, as pointed out by President/Director-General of the company, Patrick Pouyannes, is due to the company’s ambition to invest more in renewable energy.
“The new identity/name voices the dynamic we have collectively and resolutely launched as well as the enthusiasm that inspired us to take this course. It is based on our values and history.”
“It also shows our stakeholders the path we are taking and I have no doubt that TotalEnergies will be the emblematic brand of our ambition and the banner under which we will achieve our future successes,” said President Pouyannes.
The change in name by Total, is also to comply and support the Paris Agreement in 2015 towards more affordable, reliable and cleaner energy.
