Shell in the UAE

Shell in the UAE

Shell Companies in the UAE are decentralised, diversified entities with interests across the upstream and downstream supply chain.

Yet our operations are bound by one common thread – our business principles – which lie at the heart of everything we do in the country. In fact, they’re the same principles which guide Shell throughout the world.

Our principles are based on the Group’s core values of honesty, integrity and respect for people. They encompass our responsibility to shareholders, customers, employees, to those with whom we do business and to UAE society as a whole. They also aim to foster an environment which is safe and secure, and one which seeks to promote trust, teamwork, openness and professionalism.

We recognise that maintaining the confidence and trust of shareholders, employees, customers and other people with whom we do business - as well as the communities in which we work – is crucial to the Group’s continued growth and success in the UAE.

That’s why our operations in the UAE are a shining example of our business principles at work. The company has built an unrivalled reputation for integrity over almost half a century, and our initiatives to promote sustainable development and community schemes have had a lasting impact on the country’s successful evolution.

Shell worldwide

Shell is a global group of energy and petrochemical companies.

Our operations are divided into four businesses: Upstream, Integrated Gas, Downstream, and Projects & Technology.

In Upstream we focus on exploration for new liquids and natural gas reserves and on developing major new projects where our technology and know-how add value for resource holders.

In Integrated Gas, we focus on liquefying natural gas (LNG) and converting gas to liquids (GTL) so that it can be safely stored and shipped to markets around the world.

In Downstream, we focus on turning crude oil into a range of refined products, which are moved and marketed around the world for domestic, industrial and transport use. In addition, we produce and sell petrochemicals for industrial use worldwide. Shell’s oil sands mining activities in North America are also part of the Downstream organisation.

Our Projects & Technology business is responsible for delivering new development projects and the research and development that leads to innovative and low-cost investments for the future.
