Representatives of environmental organizations provide their time and expertise to help us make our funding decisions. Five regional panels review the SEF applications: - Atlantic;
- Quebec and Nunavut;
- Ontario;
- Prairies and Northwest Territories
- British Columbia and Yukon.
Each panel includes one Shell staff person and three representatives of environmental organizations. They may be from a local naturalists group, or they may be members of a provincial or national environmental organization. These environmentalists contribute their expertise and knowledge of the environmental issues in their region. To ensure that a variety of expertise is available to fairly evaluate the applications, we try to include at least one person with a naturalist or wildlife background and one with knowledge of sustainability issues on each panel. From time to time, panel members step down and we add new panel members so that we continue to provide a relevant perspective.
