DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION AT SHELL

the Journey continueS
Embedding our D&I values and behaviours across Shell is essential for the
long-term health of the business. Shell’s leaders at all levels understand this, and,
thanks to their commitment and support, we have made excellent progress.
This is a long journey, and to reach our goals, we need to constantly review
progress and work to drive D&I values and inclusive behaviours across the whole
organisation.
We will continue to support efforts to increase the number of women and local
nationals holding senior positions – as well as focus on other equally important
areas such as disability, sexual orientation and generations. Having a workforce
that mirrors those communities where we operate, builds stronger relationships
with our customers and key stakeholders and optimizes the economic and social
impact we can have.
As we move forward, we will be placing increased emphasis on driving forward
our inclusion agenda. To build on existing levels of satisfaction, more work needs
to be done to ensure our corporate systems, processes, culture and behaviours are
supportive and inclusive.
There is much to do. D&I is essential for the future success of the whole Enterprise.
Business success and fostering a commercial mindset are enhanced when the
richness of ideas, backgrounds and perspectives, sourced
from varied cultures and genders are leveraged to create
business value. I, and the entire Global D&I Practice are
committed to contribute toward Shell becoming the most
innovative and competitive energy company.
