Environment As part of our commitment to environmental stewardship, we support projects that restore and protect critical ecosystems, particularly in areas where Shell Oil Company and its affiliates in the U.S. have a major presence. In addition to restoration and preservation efforts, we fund research projects for threatened wildlife and/or habitats. Workforce Development / Education We support K-12 programs that boost math and science skills, as well as university programs that aid engineering and geoscientist students and their departments. Shell funds projects at vocational and technical schools where chemical and refinery operators and technicians are trained. We are especially interested in supporting educational outreach in math, science and technology to minority students and academic institutions with ethnically diverse enrollments. Community Outreach We fund a broad array of community outreach projects, particularly in areas where our employees work and live. These projects range from small, local neighborhood improvement efforts, to large donations and fundraising events for regional non-profit organizations. We are especially interested in supporting groups that reflect the diversity and inclusiveness of our communities, which is a Shell core value. Health and Welfare The health and welfare of Shell employees is of high importance to us, as is the well-being of our neighbors. We are committed to supporting efforts that advance health outreach programs in local communities as well as those that improve the welfare of our neighbors and employees.
