Health One - Shell

OVERVIEW
This report outlines the performance and accomplishments of the Shell companies in the
Philippines for the year 2006. This covers the areas of Health, Safety, and Environment
(HSE) in line with its commitment to report its HSE performance.
There are five chapters in this report. The first chapter covers Shell’s Policy and Commitment
as well as a summary of its businesses in the Philippines. Chapters two to four feature
the highlights of the company’s HSE performance. The last chapter presents some
of the broader programmes on Sustainable Development (SD).
The Shell Group of companies operates under a common set of business principles,
supported by policies and business controls. These include a Group HSE Commitment
and Policy (the Shell Group Commitment and the HSE Policy), which require that every
Shell company shall have a systematic approach to HSE management.
Shell in the Philippines updated its HSE policy in October 2003 requiring its companies
to manage HSE matters. Like any other critical business activity, it sets targets
for improvements and measures, then appraises and reports performance.
The management of security is also an integral part of Shell’s policy and the term HSSE
(Health, Safety, Security and Environment) is sometimes used to reflect this.
