CONAKRY- On the occasion of the United Nations International Road Safety Week, TotalEnergies launched on May 15 a campaign called “1 helmet, 1 life” (Helmet 4 Life) , with a first deployment in Togo. This initiative is being previewed today in the Republic of Guinea, in the presence of Philippe Ebanga, West Africa Director of TotalEnergies, prior to a deployment that will soon take place in the country.
Driven by the local subsidiaries of TotalEnergies and its TotalEnergies Foundation program, this initiative aims to supply 100,000 motorcycle helmets with the strictest safety standards, in 40 countries on 3 continents (Africa, Asia and the Americas). This distribution in each country concerned, including 34 in Africa, will be accompanied by a unique road safety awareness system for motorized two-wheelers.
According to statistics provided by TotalEnergies Marketing Guinea, today 28% of road deaths worldwide involve motorized two-wheelers. This percentage can rise to more than 75% in some countries. This ”1 helmet, 1 life” initiative therefore primarily targets the latter, where a majority of the population does not have access to quality helmets at affordable prices.
Via its subsidiaries, including TotalEnergies Marketing Guinea, which are already strongly involved locally in prevention and road safety, and its TotalEnergies Foundation program, TotalEnergies is thus committed to providing drivers of motorized two-wheelers with quality helmets in order to to participate in the prevention of deaths and/or serious injuries during road accidents involving them. Active sensitization of drivers (both individuals and professionals) on the wearing of protective equipment, as well as on risky situations, motorcycle maintenance and compliance with the rules, accompanies this program.
This operation will also contribute to the objectives of the Global Safe & Affordable Helmet Campaign led by Jean Todt, special envoy of the United Nations Secretary General for Road Safety.
