TotalEnergies Marks 100 Years of Innovation and Growth.
Today marks a historic milestone as TotalEnergies, boasting a workforce of 100,000 employees spread across 120 countries globally, celebrates a century of groundbreaking achievements since its inception. Established as Compagnie Française des Pétroles on March 28, 1924, in France, a country initially lacking in oil resources, the company’s visionary decision laid the foundation for an extraordinary journey through the evolution of the global energy landscape.
TotalEnergies‘ century-long narrative reflects the intertwined saga of the world’s advancement and energy transformation, navigating technological progress and geopolitical dynamics since the 1920s.

Throughout the decades, TotalEnergies has consistently pushed boundaries, both in terms of technological innovations and global reach, while remaining responsive to changing consumer preferences and societal progress. Strategic acquisitions such as Petrofina, Elf-Aquitaine, Maersk Oil, Saft, and Direct Energie have enriched the company’s portfolio, enhancing its capabilities and expertise.
Recognizing the evolving energy landscape, TotalEnergies has embraced a diversified energy approach, acknowledging the pivotal roles of natural gas and decarbonized power in shaping the future energy paradigm. As the world’s third-largest player in liquefied natural gas (LNG) and a leading developer of solar and wind power projects worldwide, the company actively contributes to the imperative of energy transition.
