Socially responsible investors include social, environmental and/or ethical factors in deciding which stocks or bonds to buy, keep or sell. Over the last decade this has become increasingly important, leading to the creation of sustainability indices to measure and track the economic, social and environmental performance of companies.

CDP

The CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) is an independent not-for-profit organisation. It was launched in 2000 to collect corporate information on climate change and we have provided our data to the project every year.

CDP released its latest scoring results in January 2020, reflecting on companies´ 2018 performance information. We achieved a B-score.

Dow Jones Sustainability Index

The Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) – DJSI World - ranks the performance of companies using a variety of social and environmental indicators. For three previous years, Shell was included on the basis of our business principles, environmental and social standards, and in line with our corporate governance performance that underpins our approach to sustainable development.

FTSE4Good

We were included in the FTSE4Good Index in 2020, as we have been every year since it started in 2001. Companies must meet the index’s criteria on governance, the environment including climate change, and social aspects including labour standards and human rights.
