[A]

In line with industry standards, we distinguish three contract modes. Mode 1: contractor/supplier performs work under Shell’s HSSE Management System (HSSE MS); Mode 2: contractor/supplier performs work under its own HSSE MS, which is materially equivalent to Shell’s HSSE MS; Mode 3: contractor/supplier performs work under its own HSSE MS. Also in line with industry standards, we report on safety performance only for contract modes 1 and 2.

[B]

Process safety events classified according to guidance from the IOGP and API. In 2019, there were nine Tier 1 sabotage-related events.

Data obtained from an internal survey completed by the senior Shell representative in each country.
