HSSE in SHEll

People who work for Shell drive nearly 1.5 billion kilometres a year to deliver fuel and other products. They build new plants in extreme conditions, work on remote offshore platforms, and run refineries and chemical plants. Keeping people safe is our top priority. We aim to have zero fatalities and no incidents that harm people. We aim to make sure our operations are safe and reduce our impact on the environment and our neighbours.

MANAGING HSSE

To achieve continuous performance improvement Shell companies manage health, safety, security, environment and social performance in a systematic way. At Shell, we aim to help meet the energy needs of society in ways that are economically, environmentally and socially responsible. To manage the impact of our operations and projects on the environment and society we have a comprehensive set of business principles and rigorous standards covering health, safety, security, environment (HSSE) and social performance (SP). Our business principles provide high-level guidance and the Commitment and Policy on HSSE & SP reflects our aims on how we operate and involve communities close to our operations. Those aims include:

All Shell companies, contractors and joint ventures under our operational control must manage HSSE and social performance in line with the Commitment and Policy, local laws and the terms of relevant permits and approvals. To help our staff and contractors to put the Commitment and Policy into practice we launched the Shell HSSE & SP Control Framework in 2009. It includes a set of mandatory standards and manuals covering areas such as managing greenhouse gas emissions, impacts on biodiversity, road safety and security. We also include requirements for integrating environmental and social factors into the way we plan, design and take investment decisions on new projects. shell.com/standards shell.com/safety
