Shell's footprint

In 2013, Shell entered into the Basrah Gas Company (BGC), a joint venture with Iraq's South Gas Company and Mitsubishi. BGC gathers and processes associated gas that would otherwise have been flared, supplying this to the government of Iraq for power generation. The Shell entity, which is a shareholder in BGC, is based in the Netherlands. Shell's share of results from BGC, which is an equity-accounted investment, is included in the country report for the Netherlands.

Country
Throughout this report, “country” is used as the primary descriptor for a geographical area because that is the word used by the OECD/G20 base erosion and profit shifting project in their proposal for country-by-country reporting. This is one of the four minimum reporting standards to which around 135 countries have committed, covering the tax residence jurisdictions of nearly all large multinational enterprises. In this report “country” may also refer to locations, jurisdictions or territories which have their own tax regimes or discrete rules.
