Shell Mechanic Champions League Year 2: Advancing Thai Mechanics to the Global Stage in Partnership with the Department of Skill Development

Mr. Kamolpat Baholyodhin, Executive Director of the Lubricants Business, The Shell Company of Thailand Limited, said, “Shell is committed to driving sustainable growth in the Thai automotive industry through human resource and knowledge development, coupled with innovative, quality products. The Shell Mechanic Champions League competition provides another platform for mechanics to gain experience and learn new technologies, enhancing their potential to efficiently analyze and troubleshoot engine problems. At the same time, they can select the appropriate lubricants and equipment for each type of vehicle. It also promotes a network of collaboration among professional mechanics, helping to elevate maintenance and service standards in the Thai automotive industry to keep pace with technological advancements. This is another important platform for nurturing Thai automotive technicians to meet international standards and inspire the next generation in the automotive industry.”

This year’s Shell Mechanic Champions League attracted more than 350 applicants nationwide, who underwent comprehensive training and testing in both theory and practice before advancing to the national finals at the Samut Prakan Institute for Skill Development. A total of 56 mechanics qualified for the final round, which included 25 motorcycle mechanics, 25 car mechanics, and 6 truck mechanics competing for the title of Thailand’s Best Mechanic. The top three winners in each category, a total of nine people, will also have the opportunity to attend the MotoGP 2025 motorcycle road-racing championship at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia, along with cash prizes of 30,000, 20,000, and 5,000 baht respectively.

Mr. Somchart Suparee, Deputy Director-General of the Department of Skill Development, Ministry of Labour, stated, “The Shell Mechanic Champions League competition represents a strong collaboration between the Department of Skill Development and The Shell Company of Thailand Limited. Now in its second year, the initiative aims to raise the capabilities of Thai automotive technicians to meet international standards. This event not only provides a platform for technicians to practice and demonstrate their potential in real-world settings but also plays a vital role in equipping the Thai workforce with skills that align with the needs of the modern automotive industry. Such efforts enhance the country’s competitiveness and inspire younger generations to continuously develop themselves in the automotive profession, in line with the Department of Skill Development’s mission.”

“Shell congratulates the winners across all three categories, including the ‘Shell Service Champions’ (employees from Shell service stations) who have demonstrated exceptional skill, upheld Shell’s highest service standards and received awards from this competition. We believe that outstanding engine performance starts with the expertise of skilled mechanics. That’s why we place strong emphasis on continuous skill development, ensuring that mechanics can consistently deliver world-class service to every customer. With Shell’s world-class quality lubricants, we are committed to ensuring every journey of Thai drivers is filled with confidence, safety, and readiness to move forward with stability. This commitment reflects Shell’s pillar of Powering Lives in advancing our business while sustainably enhancing people’s quality of life,” concluded Mr. Kamolpat.

Shell’s net carbon intensity
Also, in this announcement we may refer to Shell’s “net carbon intensity” (NCI), which includes Shell’s carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers’ carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers’ carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell’s NCI also includes the emissions associated with the production and use of energy products produced by others which Shell purchases for resale. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the terms Shell’s “net carbon intensity” or NCI is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.

Shell’s net-zero emissions target
Shell’s operating plan and outlook are forecasted for a three-year period and ten-year period, respectively, and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next three and ten years. Accordingly, the outlook reflects our Scope 1, Scope 2 and NCI targets over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plan and outlook cannot reflect our 2050
net-zero emissions target, as this target is outside our planning period. Such future operating plans and outlooks could include changes to our portfolio, efficiency improvements and the use of carbon capture and storage and carbon credits. In the future, as society moves towards net- zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans and outlooks 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 announcement may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as adjusted earnings 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’s consolidated financial statements.

The contents of websites referred to in this announcement do not form part of this announcement.

We may have used certain terms, such as resources, in this announcement that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) strictly prohibits us from including in our filings with the SEC. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F and any amendment thereto, File No 1-32575, available on the SEC website www.sec.gov
