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 – first laid out in the Shell General Business Principles more than 40 years ago – underpin our approach to sustainability.
Each year we produce an independently-reviewed, global report which details our social, safety and environmental performance. It is developed through engagement with others such as as non-governmental organisations, customers, the media, academics, investors and employees.
Our Sustainability Report also sets our our support for the United Nation’s sustainable development goals (SDGs). We welcome the SDGs and aim to play our part in helping governments and societies to achieve them.
Sustainability reporting
We have voluntarily reported – openly and honestly - on our environmental and social performance since 1997.
UN Sustainable Development Goals
The UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) seek to address the world’s biggest challenges. We welcome the SDGs and aim to play our part in helping governments and societies to achieve them.
