Two big names in the food industry partner up to create tasteful collaborations bringing 50 Shell Shuan Shim certified restaurants to IMPACT Muang Thong Thani from March 29 – April 7, 2024 at IMPACT Arena with a forecast of 100,000 guests during the 10-day event.

Chief executive officer of Bangkok Land Co., Ltd Paul Kanjanapas says, “Thailand has always been known as a gastronomic paradise for tourists from around the world. Bangkok is always a true culinary melting pot, and its street food gains a huge popularity among locals and international travelers. Shell Shuan Shim is a symbol of deliciousness that Thais have trusted for more than 60 years. Any food store guaranteed by Shell Shuan Shim is definitely worth a visit.”

The Shell Shuan Shim committees continue to award new and existing restaurants specialized in Thai, Chinese, and international cuisine along with top dessert spots and cafes throughout Thailand. Traveling from place to place to try each unique individual dish is unfeasible; hence, we bring you the 50 best Shell Shuan Shim certified restaurants all in one setting at IMPACT Arena. This collaboration not only secures Thailand as a gastronomic paradise on a global stage but also catalyzes economic development in the country.

“Leftovers as well as littering can be a daunting task when it comes to hosting a food event. IMPACT’s commitment to reducing food waste remains unwavering. We encourage visitors and guests to take part in our sustainability effort and separate all usable materials beforehand. The use of compostable food, products, and containers are turned back into compost and feed plants, said Paul.” 

The Shell Company of Thailand Limited., Country Chair Ornuthai Na Chiangmai says, “Shell proudly supports restaurant operators through the well-recognized Shell Shuan Shim logo, a name ingrained in the hearts of Thai people for over 62 years. We take great pride in fostering and enhancing sustainable career skills for Thai restaurant operators, contributing to the preservation and transmission of the rich heritage and uniqueness of Thai food across generations. The improvement of a high quality of life for Thai society has long been a key strategy for Shell in conducting business, and it has been part of “Powering Lives,” one of the 4 pillars of Shell’s Powering Progress Strategy.”

“On this special occasion, I extend my congratulations and gratitude to IMPACT for orchestrating the event that brings together 50 Shell Shuan Shim restaurants. This initiative provides restaurant operators with a platform to showcase their delectable menus, offering customers the joy of savoring delicious food in one convenient location and eliminating the need to travel to each individual store. We are confident that visitors will enjoy the exceptional culinary standards of Shell Shuan Shim as well as the overall experience of the event. We warmly invite everyone to join us, shop, and savor the delightful offerings from Shell Shuan Shim at this event,” said Ornuthai.

“The iconic Shell Shuan Shim has long become a symbol of deliciousness and trust in the Thai food industry for many decades. My father M.R. Thanadsri Svasti, who served as a food critic and brand ambassador at that time, had awarded a plethora of restaurants with Shell Shaun Shim certification, and many of them still continue to earn this award together with newly qualified restaurants across the country. The committees and I have carefully selected 50 restaurants from all over the country to showcase their delectable menu items including Jueng Ung Luk, the first restaurant in Thailand serving pork skewers; Toh’s roasted duck; Jit Sod Chuen, first runner up best Thai basil menu in 2023; Al-Rahaman, one of the best Indian restaurants in Bangkok; and Emily Chicken Noodle, a new noodle trend among Thai teens. I’m truly delighted to welcome you to participant in this event and looking forward to meeting you all there,” said M.L. Parson.

Shell’s net carbon intensity

Also, in this announcement we may refer to Shell’s “Net Carbon Intensity”, 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 only controls its own emissions. The use of the term Shell’s “Net Carbon Intensity” 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, 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 Intensity (NCI) targets over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plans cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target and 2035 NCI target, as these targets are currently outside our planning period. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s 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.

Shell expects to publish its 2024 Energy Transition Strategy on March 14, 2024, which will include an update on Shell’s energy transition strategy and set out Shell’s climate targets and ambitions for the future.

Forward Looking Non-GAAP measures

This announcement 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’s consolidated financial statements.
