   on February 11, 2021.
• Shell aims to sell more than 560 terawatt hours globally per year by 2030 as part of its Integrated Power business, twice as much electricity as the company sells today, and expects to serve more than 15 million retail and business customers worldwide as a leading provider of clean Power-as-a-Service.
• In February 2021, Shell set forth its Powering Progress strategy, including details of how it will achieve its target to be a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050, in step with society鈥檚 progress as it works towards the Paris Agreement goal of limiting the increase in the average global temperature to 1.5掳C. In October 2021, Shell set a target to reduce absolute emissions by 50% by 2030, compared to 2016 levels, which includes all Scope 1 and 2 emissions.

Shell鈥檚 operating plan, outlook and budgets are forecasted for a ten-year period and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next ten years. Accordingly, Shell鈥檚 operating plans, outlooks, budgets and pricing assumptions do not reflect our net-zero emissions target. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell鈥檚 operating plans, outlooks, budgets and pricing assumptions to reflect this movement. 

Also, in this announcement we may refer to Shell鈥檚 鈥淣et Carbon Footprint鈥�, which includes Shell鈥檚 carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers鈥� carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers鈥� carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the term Shell鈥檚 鈥淣et Carbon Footprint鈥� is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell or its subsidiaries.
