Our strategy is to accelerate the transition of our business to net-zero emissions, purposefully and profitably. We aim to meet the world’s growing need for more and cleaner energy solutions in ways that are economically, environmentally and socially responsible.

Powering Progress is our strategy to accelerate the transition of our business to net-zero emissions.

Powering Progress is designed to create value for our shareholders, customers and wider society. It has four main goals – generating shareholder value, achieving net-zero emissions, powering lives and respecting nature – which integrate sustainability with our business strategy. These goals support Shell’s purpose, to power progress together by providing more and cleaner energy solutions.

Powering Progress is underpinned by our core values of honesty, integrity and respect for people, and our focus on safety including our commitment to doing business in an ethical and transparent way.

Shell is changing to be more focused, more resilient and more competitive – not just for the energy system of today, but for the energy system of the future.
