In 1997, Shell Companies in Nigeria embarked on a major reorganisation exercise to enable us to meet the many targets and commitments involved in moving towards sustainable development. Before the programme began, teams were invited to contribute to workshops and seminars about corporate values. In time, seven core values emerged and were agreed to embody both the personal and professional aspirations of our staff. At the very heart of this newly formalised set of values, was 'leadership' which it was felt could be practised by everyone in the organisation, whatever their role. Today, we can look back on that period as a major turning point in the company's history. We can refer to our recent achievements and say that focussing on these values has made an enormous contribution to our success.The Key Values are: Leadership Performance Commercial focus Honesty and integrity Personal development Being a good citizen Teamwork |
