Transparency
Doing business in a clear, open way is a commitment we work hard to keep, and we promote transparency where possible throughout our industry. We have voluntarily reported on our environmental and social performance since 1997. Our sustainability reporting focuses on the challenges that most affect our business performance and matter most to our key stakeholders.
Shell believes greater transparency about the payments we make to governments is an important way to increase trust. We pay taxes and royalties to governments around the world. We are reporting our payments to governments under a variety of rules and regulations, such as the EU Accounting Directive.
