OREANDA-NEWS. October 15, 2012. Total involves its employees fully in its sustainable development policies.

After first introducing special photovoltaic solar solutions for them, the Group is now offering to subsidize half the cost of a home energy audit for its 40,000 employees in France.

Employees who then purchase systems or perform upgrades may also be eligible for subsidies under France’s energy efficiency certificate program and special discounts from building contractors partnered with Total.

"Our innovative campaign to promote renewable energies and energy efficiency to employees has been developed jointly with our company unions," says Francois Viaud, Senior Vice President of Human Resources at Total. "We are expanding the popular solar offer by adding energy efficiency solutions that help employees to protect the environment while optimizing the energy performance of their homes and to save significant money by reducing their energy use."
