Royal
Dutch Shell was formed in 1907, although history can be
traced back to the first half of the 19th century.Our headquarters are in The
Hague, the Netherlands, and our Chief Executive Officer is Ben van Beurden. The
parent company of the Shell group is Royal Dutch Shell plc, which is
incorporated in England and Wales.Our strategy is to strengthen our position as
a leading energy company by providing oil and gas and low-carbon energy as the
world's energy system changes. Safety and social responsibility are fundamental
to our business approach.
The operations are divided into our
businesses: Upstream, Integrated Gas and New Energies, Downstream. Our Projects
& Technology organisation manages the delivery of Shell’s major projects
and drives our research and innovation.
The Upstream organisation manages the exploration
for and extraction of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. It also
markets and transports oil and gas, and operates the infrastructure necessary
to deliver them to market.
The Integrated Gas organisation
manages our liquefied natural gas (LNG) activities and the production of
gas-to-liquids (GTL) fuels and other products. It includes natural gas
exploration and extraction, and the operation of the upstream and midstream
infrastructure necessary to deliver gas to market. It markets and trades
natural gas, LNG, crude oil, electricity, carbon-emission rights and also
markets and sells LNG as a fuel for heavy-duty vehicles and marine vessels.
Shell's purpose is to power progress
together with more and cleaner energy solutions. We believe that rising
standards of living for a growing global population are likely to continue to
drive demand for energy, including oil and gas, for years to come. At the same
time, technology changes and the need to tackle climate change means there is a
transition underway to a lower-carbon, multisource energy system..
We continuously seek to improve our
operating performance, and maximise sustainable free cash flow, with an
emphasis on health, safety, security, environment and asset performance, as
well as adhering to our ethics and compliance principles.
