How we do business
We aim to work with integrity and support fundamental human rights in line with the legitimate role of business wherever we operate. We continue to apply our General Business Principles even as the search for oil and gas takes us into challenging locations and politically sensitive countries.
In this section
Business integrity
Our Code of Conduct describes how the Shell General Business Principles must be applied. We support our staff and contractors in meeting our standards and react appropriately when violations occur.
Payments to governments
We are supporting transparency in the payments we make to governments.
Politically sensitive regions
The search for oil and gas takes us into politically sensitive regions. We consistently apply our General Business Principles and abide by international law.
Public advocacy and political activity
We co-operate with companies, NGOs and governments and support policy frameworks to enable our industry to deliver more energy with less CO2.
