Sustainability
Sustainability at Shell means providing more and cleaner energy solutions in a responsible way. Our core values of honesty, integrity and respect for people underpin our approach to sustainability.
What sustainability means at Shell
Our commitment to contribute to sustainable development has been part of the Shell General Business Principles since 1997. These principles, together with our Code of Conduct, apply to the way we do business and to our conduct with the communities where we operate.
We have worked to embed this sustainability commitment into our strategy, our business processes and decision-making.
We aim to provide more and cleaner energy solutions in a responsible manner – in a way that balances short- and long-term interests, and that integrates economic, environmental and social considerations.
Sustainability is integrated in three ways:
Running a safe, efficient, responsible and profitable business.
Helping to shape a more sustainable energy future.
Sharing benefits where we operate and making a positive contribution to society above and beyond the goods and services we provide.
People and communities
Shell’s Powering Progress strategy means improving people's lives through our products and activities, contributing to local communities and championing inclusion. We also make social investments in areas determined by local community needs and priorities.
Decommissioning
A growing number of oil and gas platforms and facilities are coming to the end of their expected life. Shell aims to ensure that its old facilities are decommissioned in a way that is safe, and environmentally, socially, and economically responsible.
Sustainability at our service stations
The public face of Shell in the UK is our network of over 1,000 service stations. See how we are embracing sustainability at our stations.
