Quality assurance
The Health, Safety, Security and Environment Management System (HSSEMS) assures product quality throughout the supply chain by setting strict standards for facilities and procedures. Other Shell standards define requirements for airport operations, process safety and asset integrity.
- We conduct over 400 audits and inspections annually to ensure our airport operations meet global health, safety, security, environmental and operational standards.
- Our vehicle replacement policy is used to manage our asset integrity and optimise each vehicle鈥檚 lifetime-cost ratio. An optimal average fleet of 10 years has been calculated, and we are implementing a strategy for achieving and maintaining that target.
