Dubai: Shell has reaffirmed its commitment to meeting the global energy challenge through innovation.
The affirmation came during a ceremony held at the Fairmont Hotel in Dubai to celebrate the company’s centenary of global operations.
A delegation of business leaders, stakeholders and key customers from around the region convened at the event to mark the anniversary of one of the largest foreign investors in the Middle East, said a spokesman.
The company, which was formed on July 5, 1907, following an agreement between Royal Shell and Shell Transport and Trading, is now a global group of energy and petrochemical companies, employing more than 108,000 people worldwide and active in 145 countries and territories.
With a Middle Eastern exploration and production network headquartered in Dubai, Royal Dutch Shell’s history spans 68 years in Abu Dhabi and 50 years in Dubai, incorporating established divisions in chemicals, aviation, bitumen, commercial fuels, lubricants and marine.
In Abu Dhabi, Shell has been actively involved in the oil and gas activities in partnership with ADNOC.
“We are very proud of our success, but we still have more challenges to overcome as we are committed to meeting the energy challenge through forward thinking and technological innovation. We plan to revitalise our operations through new long-term growth projects, investments in cleaner fuels and renewable technologies, and a pioneering approach towards environmental protection,” said Shell communications manager Omar Al Qurashi.
Shell chemicals, lubricants, aviation and marine fuels are widely available throughout the Middle East, and the company is a major trading partner with 17 countries throughout the region.

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.
