Total Petroleum Gets Brand of the Year Award

Total Petroleum Ghana Limited (Total) has been adjudged Brand of the Year at the Ghana Energy Awards at the just ended Ghana Energy Awards.

Total's operations in petroleum products seek to provide innovative solutions which satisfy the needs of clients while safeguarding the environment.

Total in keeping with its ambition to be a responsible energy major set the pace in the downstream petroleum industry by unveiling two Solar-Powered service stations this year. This is also in harmony with the continuous upgrade of its service stations and service delivery to the public.

Total has over 250 service stations and generates almost 200 direct jobs and over 4000 indirect jobs. A marketing initiative they introduced this year was the Total Troxi Club, a special Total Card package for Trotros and Taxis to help them reduce their expenditure on fuel and lubricants while rewarding them on a monthly and quarterly basis.

The company, for over sixty years, supports economic development through significant investment programs. The company launched the second edition of the Startupper of the Year by Total Challenge this year to support young Ghanaian entrepreneurs with financial support, extensive visibility and coaching. For three years, it has run the Total Young Graduate programme, a career advancement programme that offers professional exposure and global work experience to newly graduated Ghanaians.

So far, this project has benefited 12 Ghanaians. The latest initiative is its partnership with Voltic on a recycling project dubbed 'I Recycle'. With this project, Total provides space for the recycling containers at its service stations to enable the public to properly dispose off their plastics. In addition, they fuel the tricycles that manage the pick-up of the plastics.

The Finance and Accounts Manager, Henry Kamara attributed this reward to the tireless efforts of its Employees, Dealers, Transporters and Distributors.

The Ghana Energy Awards aims to recognize the efforts, innovation and excellence stalwarts within the energy sector and to celebrate the tremendous work of the players competing under various categories of the awards.
