Our Aspiration for Sustainability
At Shell Helix we want to help drive the future by reducing our carbon footprint. We are committed to providing lower-carbon alternatives.
Lubricants play a vital role in keeping the world moving. As the world鈥檚 needs for mobility increase, so too will the demand for lubricants1. There is a need to balance this increase in demand with the environmental impact of lubricants. As part of Shell Lubricants, we understand customers and consumers expect brands to offer sustainable products and services and make it easier for them to make sustainable choices.2 Motorists and vehicle manufacturers want lower-carbon alternatives for their current and future mobility needs.
Shell is the biggest supplier of lubricants in the world. Shell Lubricants focuses on delivering products designed to achieve efficiencies in any technology with moving metal parts, helping achieve fuel economies in passenger and commercial vehicles.
To achieve this, we are focused on two strategic initiatives:
- Reducing CO2 intensity of our own products.
- Helping customers manage their sustainability needs.
