Evaluation Criteria

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): The United Nations and its Member States established the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, establishing a reference framework for 2030 to address global concerns such as poverty, environmental preservation, peace, and prosperity. TotalEnergies pledged in 2016 to assist in the achievement of the SDGs, to shape its responsible development strategy, and to contribute significantly to this collaborative effort. As a result, given the relevance of these concerns, one or more of these goals should be met by your project or business.

Innovation: Will be judged on the introduction of new and/or complementary solutions to address some of your country’s concerns. Innovation does not have to be technical; it might simply refer to the method with which beneficiaries are communicated, the variety of the individuals engaged, or new organizational and governance models.

Project feasibility: Each project’s viability and development potential will be given special consideration. A feasible economic model, complementary and necessary talents for the project and a clear vision of its evolution will be utilized to assess these criteria in the case of a company creation project. This is critical because they want to encourage long-term winners.
