This 1996 document, “Shell Business Framework – coming to grips with our future, getting the best from our past,” is a part of a larger collection discovered by Jelmer Mommers of De Correspondent in a trove of internal Royal Dutch/Shell Group (“Shell”) documents.

The document notes a need for change and an “increasing emphasis on reducing the impact of human activity on the environment.” The company states a shared “commitment to reducing carbon dioxide generation where possible by the most efficient generation of energy, the elimination of wasteful flaring, and the use of the most appropriate fuels.”
