From Total's statement of support to the EITI:
Total joined the EITI on its creation in 2002, at the World Summit on Sustainable Development, known as the Johannesburg summit.
After being elected to the EITI Board as an alternate member in September 2007, we were elected a permanent member in February 2009 in recognition of our deep commitment to the initiative. Our representative on the Board is Jean-François Lassalle. The Board comprises 20 permanent members representing implementing countries, supporting countries, civil society organizations, the oil, gas and mining industries, and investment companies.
As part of our commitment, we publish detailed reports on a number of host countries, accounting for 37% of our production in 2008. These country briefs provide information on our exploration and production operations in these countries, including details about our acreage, contract types, local subsidiaries, and the taxes we pay to governments. These five countries accounted for 37% of our production in 2008.
