In addition, Total PARCO would continue to provide support through the sharing of resources and expertise for promoting a safety culture among the drivers being trained at the training Centre. The ongoing partnership with NH&MP demonstrates Total PARCO’s desire to make a positive impact to the country in line with its societal responsibility on road safety.
