Total response to statement by Burma Campaign UK

As an answer to Burma Campaign, Total recalls its long term commitment to helping the population of Myanmar, as highlighted by the company’s assistance during recent hardship suffered due to Nargis…Total also realises that our impact on society reaches beyond the direct area where we operate. That is why we decided to undertake humanitarian programmes on a national basis…As long as we believe our operations on the Yadana project can also contribute to the welfare of the people of Myanmar, we are committed to staying in the country and to demonstrating that our presence is more beneficial for the Myanmar people than our absence could be.
