“I am pleased to introduce the Shell
Sustainability Report for 2012. Against the backdrop of a still-struggling
global economy, we continue to operate in economically, environmentally and
socially responsible ways; and to invest for the future. As global demand for
energy continues to rise, we must develop energy resources that exist in
increasingly challenging environments, or that are difficult to produce.
Wherever we operate, we never cease
in our efforts to keep everyone safe: whether our employees or contractors, or
the communities near our operations. We recognize the special physical and
technical challenges of working in some of the world’s toughest conditions, and
we are determined to learn from our experiences to continue to improve
the safety and reliability of our
operations.........” (Shell CEO)
