TotalEnergies Launches 'Helmet 4 Life' Initiative
TotalEnergies is set to improve road safety as part of the United Nations Global Road Safety Week with the launch of its "Helmet 4 Life" initiative. This project, in collaboration with local affiliates and the TotalEnergies Foundation program, aims to distribute 100,000 motorcycle helmets across 40 countries in Africa, Asia, and the Americas, where fatal road accidents involving motorized two-wheelers account for 28% of global road fatalities and can reach over 75% in certain nations. The initiative is designed to provide quality helmets that meet the most stringent safety standards to regions where access to affordable helmets remains limited for the majority of the population.
Alongside the provision of helmets, TotalEnergies pledges to raise awareness about road safety, emphasizing the importance of wearing protective gear, understanding risk situations, maintaining vehicles, and complying with traffic rules. The initiative's goal is to contribute to the prevention of fatalities and serious injuries sustained in road accidents involving motorized two-wheelers. The "Helmet 4 Life" campaign will also align with the objectives of the "Global Safe & Affordable Helmet Campaign" led by Jean Todt, the UN Secretary General's Special Envoy for Road Safety. With a focus on young people, the TotalEnergies Foundation aims to put road safety at the forefront of its actions and create a safer environment for drivers and pedestrians alike.
