While avoid and reduce measures offer the best way to tackle emissions in the long term, until scalable solutions are deployed, carbon offsetting programs provide an immediate solution to reduce GHG emissions. Shell wants to offer a worldwide portfolio of carbon neutral¹ lubricants for a wide variety of applications spanning both personal and commercial use. To support this effort, Shell Helix is working to offset the emissions of every litre of premium lubricant, across premium passenger car motor oil.

• Shell’s globally diverse, externally-verified, and high-quality, nature-based carbon credits will compensate for CO₂e emissions from the lifecycle of the products including the raw materials, packaging, production, distribution, customer use and product end of life. Each carbon credit represents the avoidance or removal of one tonne of CO₂.
  

¹ _{COâ‚‚ compensation does not imply that there is no environmental impact from the production and use of the product as associated emissions remain in the atmosphere. COâ‚‚ compensation is not a substitute for switching to lower emission energy solutions or reducing the use of fossil fuels. Shell businesses focus first on emissions that can be avoided or reduced and only then, compensate the remaining emissions.}

_{“Carbon neutral” or “CO₂ compensated” indicates that Shell will engage in a transaction where an amount of CO₂ equivalent to the value of the remaining CO₂e emissions associated with the raw material extraction, transport, production, distribution and usage /end-of-life of the product are compensated through the purchase and retirement of carbon credits generated from CO₂ compensation projects. Although these carbon credits have been generated in accordance with international carbon standards, the compensation may not be exact.}

_{COâ‚‚e (COâ‚‚ equivalent) refers to COâ‚‚, CHâ‚„, Nâ‚‚O.}
