Action! Program - Rugby World Cup 2023: TotalEnergies employees volunteer
Narrator: We're spending the day with Jorge, who has decided to volunteer for the Action! program, for a cause that he supports.
Jorge Coutinho Canelha – Sustainability Coordinator TotalEnergies Proxi Southwest: We're going to the rugby village in Toulouse, part of the Rugby World Cup. As a TotalEnergies employee, I'm volunteering for Road Safety here today.
- Hello. How are you?
- OK?
Narrator: The Action! program for TotalEnergies' employees is very diverse.
Jorge Coutinho Canelha: There are in-person missions and remote ones. That's an advantage in getting maximum interest from TotalEnergies employees. TotalEnergies gives us three days a year to contribute to the common good. Got to do that!
Mathieu Chang – Director, Fundraising & Patronage from the association Prévention Routière: Hello everyone. I'm Mathieu, from the association Prévention routière. Our mission is to do everything to change people's behavior so there are fewer accidents.
Narrator: Is it important to have committed volunteers?
Mathieu Chang: Our organization is very active. Without volunteers, we can't do what we do. So we absolutely need that help.
Narrator: Why is this partnership so successful?
Mathieu Chang: We really work and communicate well with the TotalEnergies Corporate Foundation. We have a clear, shared goal: reducing the number of road accidents, especially among young people.
Jorge Coutinho Canelha: Hello! A breathalyzer. When you get a couple of minutes, go to the association Prévention Routière.
Claire Castellarnau – B2B Energies Advisor TotalEnergies Proxi Southwest: At our age, we're concerned by this issue. That can help get the message across.
Narrator: Do you think this is useful?
Jorge Coutinho Canelha: Yes. If everybody could give a bit of time to talk to people, that's a win! These glasses show you the impact of alcohol at the wheel. They're a bit blurry. That's what a driver feels after drinking.
Narrator: Did you learn anything?
Young man: Yes. I'm going to be careful next time.
Jorge Coutinho Canelha: Goodbye, and thanks. Kiss goodbye? See you. Thanks, Mathieu. It was really rewarding.
Narrator: So, how was your day?
Jorge Coutinho Canelha: Really good. I talked to about 100 fans. I gave them all breathalyzers. I got some of them into workshops of Road Safety. It was very rewarding. I got people in the fan zone to think about an important subject: drink-driving.
Claire, Jorge and Morgane volunteer for the community Action! Program.
That, too, is working for TotalEnergies.
