Aligning sustainable development with core business practices underpins the production and delivery of energy at Shell, especially in this time of continued economic uncertainty and social change around the world. Prioritizing safety, local communities, and the environment, Shell contributes to development outcomes through both its philanthropic foundation as well as its supply chain buying power. On May 11, Mr. Martin will lend his expertise as Vice President for Safety and Sustainable Development to discuss how Shell pursues social investments and creates employment and economic opportunity for local communities. He will share insights into how Shell’s leadership prioritizes development in its overall business strategy as well as the role of the Shell Foundation in creating enterprise-based solutions.
