Sustainability

Our commitment to contribute to sustainable development has been part of the Shell General Business Principles since 1997. We have embedded this sustainability commitment into our strategy, business processes and decision-making, supported by comprehensive governance structures, policies and standards.

We seek to protect the environment, increase our reuse and recycling, make a positive contribution to biodiversity, and use water and other resources efficiently. Our activities can impact nature through discharges and emissions to the environment, and through changes to the use of land and water.

Shell strives to make a positive impact on people around the world, and this includes providing the energy people need, contributing to local economies and communities, championing inclusion and respecting human rights.
