Shell

Shell is a global group of energy and petrochemical companies that works in more than 70 countries. It employs about 85,000 people. For more than a century it has connected people and energy, with a history that goes back to 1833.

Shell serves more than 1 million commercial and industrial customers. Around 33 million people use its Shell-branded retail stations each day. Its work runs from oil and gas exploration and production to the marketing of fuels and lubricants, and research and development.

The Upstream business explores for and produces crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, in deep water and in conventional fields. The Integrated Gas business processes natural gas into liquefied natural gas (LNG) and gas-to-liquids products. It also runs the upstream and midstream systems needed to deliver gas to market, and it trades and markets LNG, gas-to-liquids products and natural gas.

The Downstream, Renewables and Energy Solutions side supplies fuels and lubricants for transport, manufacturing, mining, power generation, agriculture and construction. Shell is also a major blender and trader of biofuels. Its mobility business runs the retail network, including electric vehicle charging and convenience stores. Its chemicals and products business runs manufacturing plants and refineries that it is turning into energy and chemicals parks.

Shell also works in newer energy areas. These include power from wind and solar, hydrogen production, carbon capture and storage hubs, carbon credits and nature-based solutions. Its Trading and Supply arm trades natural gas, power, crude oil, refined products and chemical feedstocks. It also manages one of the world's largest fleets of LNG carriers and oil tankers.

Shell says its purpose is to power progress together with its customers and partners. Its strategy is to deliver more value with less emissions, and it has a target to become a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050. The company says its values are honesty, integrity and respect for people.
