Shell鈥檚 net carbon footprint

Also, in this news update we may refer to Shell鈥檚 鈥淣et Carbon Footprint鈥� or 鈥淣et Carbon Intensity鈥�, which include 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� or 鈥淣et Carbon Intensity鈥� are for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.

Shell鈥檚 net-Zero Emissions Target

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, they reflect our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Net Carbon Footprint (NCF) targets over the next ten years. However, Shell鈥檚 operating plans cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target and 2035 NCF target, as these targets are currently outside our planning period. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell鈥檚 operating plans to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target.

Forward Looking Non-GAAP measures

This news update may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as cash capital expenditure and divestments. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc鈥檚 consolidated financial statements.
