Introduction
Engaging with local partners
TotalEnergies EP Denmark is one of the largest companies in the Esbjerg area. This position comes with special obligations to the local society.
Partnerships, sponsorships, and an active role in the local community to develop and protect the region’s unique values are key focus points in this work.
The nature of our operations involves close collaboration with local communities in the areas where we operate, which is why TotalEnergies EP Denmark funds, supports, and participates in local activities beyond the traditional business scope.
Our four priority areas
The Action! program
Through the Action! program, every employee can volunteer for local causes by donating up to three working days per year. These opportunities allow individuals to play a part, either individually or collaboratively, in our local community, whether it’s helping underprivileged children, inspiring youth to pursue Science, Technology, Engineering and Math careers, or taking care of natural spaces. Engaging with and giving back to communities holds significant importance for TotalEnergies EP Denmark, and Action! exemplifies our commitment to driving positive change at a local level.
In 2022, 118 employees have spent around 307 hours of volunteering and completed 14 initiatives in TotalEnergies EP Denmark.
Partnering with the Wadden Sea National Park to protect wildlife and cultural heritage
TotalEnergies EP Denmark became an official partner of the Wadden Sea National Park in September 2022. Now, the employees will engage in projects to support e.g. the wildlife in the national park.
Examples of projects could be those on the local islands Rømø, Fanø and Blåvand, where TotalEnergies EP Denmark employees can volunteer to set up fences around bird breeding areas, monitor the fenced areas, and remove the fences once the breeding season is over.
The Wadden Sea
The Wadden Sea is one of the most valuable tidal areas in the world. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and classified under IUCN (category II), the Wadden Sea stretches from Skallingen, Denmark, through northwest Germany, all the way to Den Helder in the Netherlands. Every year more than 10 million water birds pass through the Wadden Sea area during migration along the East-Atlantic flyway.
