Total recently published several reports in response to questions raised about the social and environmental damage posed by its upstream Tilenga Project, partly located in Murchison Falls national park — Uganda’s largest conservation area — and the 1,443km East African Crude Oil Pipeline (Eacop), running from Uganda and Tanzania.
The company published findings from studies it commissioned, as well as independent third-party reviews and social and environmental action plans relating to its projects. In the March 8 report, the company said these projects are being carried out in compliance with the stringent standards of the International Finance Corporation.
