The Shell Foundation was launched by the Shell Group in June 2000 to develop sustainable solutions to the social problems arising globally and locally from the production and consumption of energy and improve the development prospects for vulnerable communities impacted by globlisation.
Creating an international foundation is new for Shell. We recognise we have a responsibility and an opportunity to support efforts to tackle problems that are global in nature.
The Shell Foundation has so far spent USD 1.7 million in China on sustainable energy projects in the last two years and is looking to sponsor more projects here in the future.
