Environment & Society
Contributing to sustainable development is integral to the way we do business. As we work to help meet the world’s growing energy needs we aim to bring benefits to local communities and reduce impacts of our operations, including tackling greenhouse gas emissions. We look after our people and our core values of honesty, integrity and respect for people have been laid out in the Shell General Business Principles for over 30 years.
Environment
Meeting the world’s growing energy needs and protecting the environment requires new technology, partnerships and ways of operating. We are sharpening our focus on ways to limit the environmental impact of our operations.
Society
We supply energy which helps to support economic development, and work with communities where we operate to address concerts and share the benefits of our operations.
Safety
Safety is always our first priority. We aim to have zero fatalities and no incidents that harm people, or put our neighbours or facilities at risk.
Alternative energies for transport
Meeting growing demand for cleaner, lower-CO2 transport fuels will include a range of approaches, such as vehicles powered by biofuels or hydrogen fuel cells.
