Governance – roles and responsibilities
Our Corporate and Social Responsibility Committee assesses our policies and performance with respect to our Business Principles, Code of Conduct, HSSE & SP standards and major issues of public concern on behalf of the Board of Royal Dutch Shell.
The committee is made up of four Non-executive Directors and meets quarterly.
Our Chief Executive is accountable for sustainable development and he chairs our HSSE and Social Performance Executive, which reviews environmental and social performance and sets priorities, key performance indicators and targets.
Each business is responsible for complying with Shell’s environmental and social requirements and achieving its own specific targets in this area.
Sustainable development is also part of how we assess our overall business performance and pay our people.
It counts for 20% of the Shell Scorecard that we use in determining bonuses.
