Business strategy
-
They carefully consider the potential environmental impact of our activities and how localcommunities might be affected, both before projects begin and during operations. Their environmental standards focus on key areassuch as managing emissions, reducing our energyuse, flaring less gas produced with oil, preventingspills and leaks, minimizing our use of fresh waterand conserving biodiversity. They work to manage and minimize environmentalimpact from our operations. They use energy-efficiency technologies andprocesses to reduce our carbon dioxide (CO2)emissions and are also working to advance carboncapture and storage (CCS) technologies whichcould reduce cumulative global CO2 emissionsby around 15% by 2050.
-
OUR STANDARDS Our approach is to comply with environmentalregulation, to continually improve our performancein line with best practice, and to prepare for futurerisks and opportunities. We draw on externalstandards and guidelines such as those developedby the World Bank and International FinanceCorporation to inform our approach. Our ownstrict environmental standards are designed tomeet or exceed regulatory requirements – they aredetailed in our HSSE & SP Control Framework.Shell standards are applied to jointventures that we control. We also encourage ourjoint-venture partners to apply materially equivalentstandards for those we do not control.
-
Detailed assessments of the potential environmental,social and health impacts are carried out when weplan new projects. These assessments help us tomanage and reduce impacts on the environment oron communities during construction, operation and,when relevant, at the decommissioning stage ofprojects. The results are made publicly availablewhere we are legally permitted to do so. OurControl Framework requires all of our majorinstallations including refineries, chemical plants,gas plants and permanently staffed oil and gasproduction facilities to be certified to ISO 14001.
-
Our environmental performance is managed in thefollowing ways: Air quality Sensitive environments Waste management
-
Air quality
Emissions of nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide andvolatile organic compounds from the production andprocessing of fossil fuels can affect air quality. We work to reduce air pollution from our operations. We also help customers, including shipping andindustrial customers, to reduce their impact on airquality by using our products.
-
Sensitive environments
Our projects can affect local biodiversity anddependent communities. When we operate incritical habitats – that is, those that are rich inbiodiversity and important to the conservation ofendangered species – we apply stringent mitigationstandards. This includes reviewing how local peoplemay depend on biodiversity and ecosystems foressentials such as fresh water and food for theirsubsistence. We partner with major conservationorganisations– Earthwatch, the International Unionfor Conservation of Nature (IUCN), The NatureConservancy and Wetlands International – to helpus improve our performance. We also developbiodiversity action plans for major operationsin sensitive environments.
-
Our approach is to identify and minimize any impactsduring planning, operations and at decommissioning. We implement measures to restore habitats orecosystems that are close to our operations. Forexample, we are working on marshland restorationin Iraq, near our Majnoon operations, withWetlands International.
-
The biodiversity of the world’s oceans is at risk fromoverfishing, climate change, pollution from plastics,and other challenges. Protecting this biodiversity willbe an increasingly important priority for the world. Shell collaborates with governments, nongovernmentalorganizations and other experts toidentify measures to conserve the marine environment.
-
Waste management
We aim to reduce the amount of waste wegenerate and reuse or recycle where possible. Our main sources of non-hazardous waste includesoil from excavations and drill cuttings (materialsremoved from the ground during drilling such asrock and soil). Where possible, hazardous waste– such as process water from our chemical plantsand refineries – is treated on-site or removed fortreatment or safe disposal. The decommissioning of retired platforms andinfrastructure is also potentially a major sourceof waste. Where possible, we recycle part ofthe platforms once they are brought to shore.
-
GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE
We are looking into ways to integrate naturalsystems into the design of our projects. This approach, known as green infrastructure, benefitsthe environment by creating or improving habitats,while increasing the resilience of our facilities andreducing costs. For example, coastal erosion can be a threat to the stability of pipelines as well as to people’s homes and livelihoods. In Louisiana, USA, we are exploring the use of nature-based solutions to stabilize the embankments near our pipeline and to prevent erosion. Over time, these pipeline corridors can create new habitats for water organisms which will also benefit fishing communities.
-
WATER
Water scarcity is a growing challenge in many regions and the availability of fresh water is a keyglobal issue. It is important that Shell and othersin the oil and gas industry manage water in aresponsible and sustainable manner to protectand preserve this valuable resource.
-
Our approach Our water management approach is basedon complying with local and internationalregulations, on improving our performance andpreparing for the future. Across the world, waterconstraints tend to affect people at the localor regional level. Therefore, the way in whichShell manages our use of fresh water is oftentailored to the local situation.
-
-
Water use in our operations In water scarce areas near our operations orprojects we develop water management plans.These assess the risks of water availability andhelp us to monitor and reduce our water use. We also work with parties in water scarceareas, such as communities, municipalities andlocal government, to understand broader issuesaround water availability and to createappropriate solutions. Over the past two years we have established aglobal centre of excellence for water at the ShellTechnology Centre in Bangalore, India. Thisenables us to share ideas, innovations andtechnologies on water issues across Shell.
-
Collaboration
We work with industry bodies, such as IPIECA,the World Business Council for SustainableDevelopment and the World Resources Instituteand our environmental partners on a numberof programs for water recycling, naturalinfrastructure and water accounting practices.These relationships enable us to improve ourcurrent performance and help us prepare forthe future.

“For the past 14 years I have been Chief of the West Moberly First Nations in north-eastern British Columbia. In this role, I have been actively involved in speaking about issues of importance to First Nations. This includes the legal duty to consult with First Nations as well as the impacts of the oil and gas industries’ activities on First Nations. Shell is a valued partner in our region but it is also a part of an industry with which we have a challenging relationship. We are encouraged by Shell’s new approaches to land use planning that it brings to the region. However, we urge Shell and others in its industry to consider the cumulative impacts of industrial development before they make decisions. Shell must balance economic opportunity against our treaty rights and its impact on the environment; it must consider what is ultimately best for the area and all who live here.”

“We aim to protect groundwater sources and reduce water consumption in our drilling and production activities.”
