Sustainability at the heart of Shell business
Sustainable development is a crucial factor to consider when meeting the high growth in energy demand worldwide, delegates at the Britain in Kuwait Conference and Exhibition heard today in a presentation by Dr. Ken Taylor, Sustainable Development Advisor for Shell Exploration and Production and former Chairman of Kuwait Shell.
'This includes managing the environmental impact of oil and gas exploration and production as well as developing alternative energy resources and ensuring skills and knowledge transfer wherever we operate,' he added.
Recent developments in Kuwait include the provision of technical support in Kuwait's refineries to help improve reliability and energy efficiency, as well as using the latest Shell technology to improve air emissions by removing sulphur.
'Shell has many long-term partnerships with national oil companies, and our aim is to develop and expand these relationships by focusing on people development and protection of the environment as much as sound technology application and business practice,' Dr Taylor said.
Recent initiatives by Kuwait Shell include a workshop and seminar on oil shipping safety standards and road safety awareness, as well as supporting a wildlife campaign by Kuwait's Environment Public Authority to increase awareness of biodiversity and the protection of wildlife among high school students.
'We are honoured to be able to look back on a continuous relationship with Kuwait that dates back to the 1940s, and look forward to continue working with Kuwait to help meet the energy challenges faced by the oil sector worldwide by sharing knowledge and the latest technologies”, said Dr. Taylor.
“The Shell Sustainablility Report, 2005” outlines many of Shell's recent contributions to meeting the energy challenge and reducing environmental impact, such as making fossil fuels less carbon intensive, managing CO2 emissions and developing alternative energy resources.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
