...dodgy relationships [with governments] and the whole system was opaque," says Gavin Hayman of U.K.-based Global Witness, a fierce critic of Big Oil's behavior in Africa. But Total officials insist that they've changed their spots. So bribery and leaky old tankers are out; codes of conduct and wind energy are in. Instead of ignoring protest groups like Greenpeace, the company now tries to engage them in dialogue. In poor countries, it's funding projects designed to win over indigenous peoples. And it has even hired a consultant to conduct "ethical audits" of all its subsidiaries, to ensure...

Cordier, 56, was appointed ethics czar and set up an ethics committee in 2001.

He insists that Canadians, after a long period of introspection during which they were obsessed with interminable debates over their constitutional structures, are ready to look outward once more. "The old sense of insecurities about the Canadian identity," he says, "have been replaced by increasing confidence, pride and ambition." A top priority, he told TIME, will be to improve relations with the U.S. But given Canada's present sense of itself, that does not mean that the Bush Administration will get everything it wants...
