 In 1997 we revised the Business Principles to include a commitment to contribute to sustainable development. For our business this is about engaging with our stakeholders to better understand and manage the impacts, both positive and negative, that our operations and products have on society and the environment today, and to identify business opportunities for the future. The biggest contribution to sustainable development will come from finding environmentally and socially responsible ways to help meet the world’s future energy needs and Shell is determined to meet this daunting challenge. |
