We are proud to play an active role in transforming society to one that is ready to embrace inclusion
Shell South Africa’s Diversity and Inclusivity (D&I) policy clearly recognises the importance of an inclusive work environment for all employees. It is based on the premise that when our people feel included and engaged, they leverage their richness of ideas, backgrounds and perspectives to create business value. In an increasingly complex, volatile and competitive business environment, our ability to demonstrate innovation and creativity in order to deliver to our customers’ needs will provide the edge we need to become the world’s most competitive and innovative energy company.
Our D&I activities support this aspiration by growing the diversity of our employees and developing an inclusive work environment that promotes innovation. It is with this notion in mind that we wish to tell our narrative of women empowerment in Shell South Africa, particularly during the month of women. We believe that our strong identity is anchored by all the voices and minds of all our people across the gender spectrum. We are proud to be part of a transforming society that is ready to embrace inclusion, build trust and unleash the collective intellectual capital of our diverse talents.
Embedding D&I within our structure, people, processes and culture results in more customers, employees, partners and other stakeholders choosing Shell more often. Research demonstrates that a diversity of informed views enable alternatives to be explored more efficiently and solutions to emerge more readily.
