Shell

Shell is a global energy major operating upstream gas, downstream fuels and renewables projects across Australia. Shell Australia has made modest political donations to both major parties in recent AEC disclosure periods, while also funding community programmes in regional areas and Indigenous partnerships. The company publicly promotes diversity and inclusion on its Australian website and LinkedIn channels, maintains an active LGBTQ+ employee network (Pride@Shell), supports gender-balance targets and parental-leave policies, and communicates net-zero-by-2050 ambitions alongside local emissions-reduction projects; these positions align with Royal Dutch Shell plc global standards that apply uniformly to Australian subsidiaries.
