As Chairman and CEO, I am proud of it and that comforts my conviction that the employees fully support the strategy of transforming TotalEnergies into a multi-energy company, which will contribute, with its stakeholders, to shaping the just transition to which our societies aspire.”, declared Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies.
