2 We are very proud of all of these projects as they have made a significant difference and contributed to sustainable development in a number of areas. Within the South African business context, corporate social responsibility has become strategically focused and most businesses align their corporate social investment with their business objectives in spearheading transformation. The approach to corporate social investment is shifting from that of a charitable one to a more partnership-orientated approach where sustainable relationships are built and it is this very philosophy that drives Total South Africa s CSI illustrate over the years Total s funding of the Female Farmer of the Year (now known as Female Entrepreneur of the Year) has paved the way for small subsistence farmers to become full grown export businesses, employing several hundred people and contributing to the GDP of our conservation, another core focus area of Total s CSI portfolio, is of ever-increasing relevance to the citizens of the world.

3 Total South Africa has been a long standing funder of Arbor Day and Arbor Week, contributing to the planting millions of trees over the years. As global warming continues to play havoc with weather patterns across the world, Total s worldwide research and development teams are working to find cleaner and more efficient products to ensure that we leave a sustainable planet for future generations. We are forever mindful of the responsibility we have to make a sustainable contribution to the future of the country and we embrace this responsibility through our corporate social investment ManaseChairpersonTotal South Africa (Pty) LtdJean-Denis Roy reManaging Director and Chief Executive OfficerTotal South Africa (Pty) LtdTotal South Africa has set a benchmark in how to make a meaningful difference in the communities within which we carry out our business.

This way we know that when the time comes for us to move away, that they are able to continue to grow and thrive on their social investment is not only the responsibility of the company, but also the responsibility of each and every Total employee. The Total Attitude of boldness, listening, cross functionality and mutual support have resulted in our Employee Volunteer Programme where our people go out and make a difference in the lives of their fellow countrymen, women and we have made remarkable progress since the dawn of democracy, we realise that South Africa still has a long way to go in spreading and embracing the true spirit of ubuntu (humanity). The same applies to our people , the Total employees. We believe that we will reach the top of that hill by putting one foot in front of the other, step by step.

5 Message from theChairperson4 Total South Africa CSI Prospectus 2011 5 While South Africa has made great strides during its democracy to uplift its people , great need still exists in many communities around our country. Poverty, unemployment, poor education and lack of access to basic infrastructure combine to present significant hurdles to upliftment and the hope of a better life. Corporate South Africa has a vital role to play in bringing about meaningful change and improved living conditions to impoverished, under-resourced and disadvantaged communities. In order to make a sustainable and long-lasting impact, Total South Africa believes CSI needs to be driven strategically. In making investments into the communities we serve, we consider national development imperatives, the nature and impact of our core business, our geographical footprint and the needs of South Africa s most vulnerable people . We are guided by the Group CSI Policy, which outlines a strategic focus in the following key areas: Environmental conservation Marine and land-based biodiversity conservation Environmental education Conservation of natural habitats Urban greeningEducation Teacher training (primary and secondary education) English language, mathematics, science and technology educationSocial development Women empowerment HIV/Aids programmes Disability Soccer development tournamentsHeritage Drama Arts Music Dance CSI overviewInvesting to make a meaningful differenceEstablished in 1954, Total South Africa forms part of the multi-national French-based company, which has operations in more than 130 countries across the globe.

Our environmental focus area provides a vehicle through which the company carries out its commitment to preserving the natural environment for future generations. Our focus on environmental conservation includes the preservation of marine and land-based biodiversity and natural habitats and a range of urban greening projects that aim to beautify the areas in which our communities live. We also engage in extensive environmental education that seeks to share the wonders of the natural world with children. By highlighting the importance of conservation and providing people with the chance to appreciate the slendour and diversity of Africa s wonderful places, we hope to instill a culture of pride in our natural heritage and a sense of responsibility for its ongoing preservation.

9 EnvironmentPreserving Africa s natural beauty8 Total South Africa CSI Prospectus 2011 9 Total South Africa has a long-standing relationship with the Kruger National Park and one of its flagship investments involves support for the Kids in Kruger project. This ground-breaking project, one of the My Acre of Kruger initiatives, was started with the aim of providing local children from surrounding communities with the opportunity to experience the wonders and beauty of the Kruger National Park. In general, these children come from underprivileged communities and although they live just outside of the borders of the park, many of them could live their entire lives without ever being able to afford a trip into Kruger. As their generation will grow up to be future custodians of South Africa s natural heritage, it s critical that they come to appreciate the wonder that our national parks have to offer and are educated about the importance of conservation. By taking them into the park and teaching them about nature, ecosystems and conservation, Kids in Kruger provides them with a rich experience of the natural world.

10 Their general knowledge of the environment is enhanced through the educational focus of the project, while the opportunity to experience the glory of the Kruger National Park first-hand can instill a lifelong love of and respect for nature. Children take their knowledge and attitudes back to their families and communities, further enhancing the impact of the project. The Kids in Kruger initiative has grown significantly since its inception. An educational facility was initially built at the Phabeni Gate entrance to host local learners on day trips, but there was growing demand from both under- and well-resourced schools across the country to be involved. In response and with the support of sponsors, My Acre of Kruger extended the Phabeni Gate educational facility to include dormitories for 420 children. This dramatically increased the project s footprint, allowing learners from schools in other provinces to stay overnight and enjoy the benefits that Kids in Kruger has to offer. The facility provides an ideal place for learners to be educated about what they will see on their trip through Kruger and about the importance of protecting plants, animals and ecosystems, not only in national parks, but in their communities as well.
