Shell supplies around five billion litres of finished lubricants to customers around the world every year. Against this backdrop, however, there is a continuing need to balance increased operational performance with reduced environmental impact.
STRATEGIC INITIATIVES
Shell has set a target to reduce emissions by 50% by 2030 and become carbon neutral by 2050. Two key strategic initiatives are driving this commitment:
1. Reducing the CO2 intensity of Shell oils
Emission Prevention
- Using packaging with a higher proportion of recycled materials
- Reducing the amount of material in packaging (EcoPack)
Reducing emissions
- Improving energy efficiency in own operations
- Increasing the use of renewable energies
- Optimisation of transport routes
Emission compensation
- Offsetting CO2e emissions from the product life cycle (from raw material extraction, through transportation, production, distribution, use and end-of-life)
- Use of globally diversified, externally verified and high quality carbon credits
- Support internationally accredited projects on natural carbon offsetting in the atmosphere
HOW CAN YOU REDUCE YOUR EMISSIONS CO2 TOGETHER WITH SHELL LUBRICANTS?
- Choosing quality oils to extend the life of engines and machines
- By using oils that increase the efficiency of engines and machines and thus reduce energy consumption
- Reducing the amount of packaging (EcoPack, buying larger packages)
- By choosing carbon neutral oils with the CARBON NEUTRAL label
