Royal Dutch Shell - Gold sponsorRoyal Dutch Shell is one of the world’s leading energy companies with operations in more than 70 countries and around 86,000 employees. Since it was formed in 1907, it has developed considerable expertise in the exploration, production, refining and marketing of oil and natural gas, and the manufacturing and marketing of chemicals. Today its strategy is focused on strengthening these businesses alongside developing lower-carbon energy sources as the world’s energy systems evolve. Safety and social responsibility are priorities in its business approach. Shell is very proud to have played a role in developing Abu Dhabi’s oil and gas resources since 1939, through the emirate’s first major oil concession. The concession finally expired in 2014, bringing an end to what was an historical era but the company retains extensive business operations in the UAE and continues to offer its technical expertise to help the country achieve its energy goals and generate value for its shareholders. It also supports the development of young Emirati scientists and engineers, through a number of social programmes across the country.
