An active role in the local community
TotalEnergies has made significant strides in local community engagement and partnerships throughout 2024. We have completed various educational initiatives, activated our Ambassador program, and a range of volunteering efforts, all aimed at supporting and engaging with the local communities.
A beacon of sustainability
TotalEnergies EP Denmark showcased its commitment to sustainability by participating in Green Camp 2024, a case competition for master’s students at South Denmark University (SDU) Esbjerg and Aalborg University (AAU) Esbjerg. The competition focused on finding holistic solutions for managing PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) waste and repurposing 2,000 sports bags from rebranding efforts. The creativity and dedication of the students were truly inspiring and Green Camp 2024 stands as a strong local activity to environmental stewardship.
Engaging with local universities
TotalEnergies EP Denmark extended its commitment to education through partnerships with South Denmark University and Aalborg University. These collaborations included internships and student assistant opportunities, providing students and recent graduates with insights into the company culture and career opportunities in energy and engineering.
“Our partnerships with local schools and universities are crucial to TotalEnergies EP Denmark’s mission. These engagements not only inspire the next generation but also strengthen our community ties and showcase the importance of education in the energy sector. We are proud to support and nurture young talents who will shape the future of our industry.”

Ambassador program
The Ambassador program has seen significant progress in 2024, with an increasing number of interested employees leading and supporting various community initiatives. This year, ambassadors played a key role in the Esbjerg mentoring program, Green Camp, and Action! volunteering initiatives. They actively contributed to local projects and helped build stronger ties with the local community.
“I joined the mentoring program to get an opportunity to help a student with my knowledge and skills and at the same time get the fresh perspectives and innovative ideas from a young one. The most important takeaway for me was the satisfaction of contributing to someone else’s growth and the joy of seeing them succeed.”
– Devik Sharma, volunteer mentor
Conserving local wildlife
For the third consecutive year, TotalEnergies Denmark has supported the protection of endangered birds in the Wadden Sea National Park around Esbjerg. This recurring volunteering initiative involved putting up fences to safeguard bird populations and promote breeding in the park.
Our volunteering program
The Action! program encourages employees to support local initiatives by offering up to three workdays per year for volunteering. The focus is primarily on youth-related initiatives, such as promoting STEM education and supporting vulnerable children, as well as preserving natural habitats. Supporting and engaging with the local community is important for TotalEnergies Denmark, and the Action! program is a concrete example of our dedication and support.
