History and Founding of Shell plc
Shell plc was founded in 1907, originally headquartered in both the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, following the merger of Royal Dutch Petroleum Company and Shell Transport and Trading Company.
The merger aimed to consolidate operations and expand the global supply of oil and its derivatives in a rapidly growing market.
Over the following decades, Shell became one of the world’s leading fuel suppliers for industries and consumers, benefiting from the rise of the automotive market and the development of commercial aviation.
The company expanded by entering new markets and developing a differentiated product portfolio.
In the 1950s, Shell grew its operations into the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, while also diversifying into petrochemicals and emerging energy sources such as liquefied natural gas (LNG).
In 2022, the company unified its corporate structure, officially adopting the name Shell plc and relocating its global headquarters to London.
Between 2020 and 2024, Shell faced challenges related to oil price volatility, regulatory pressure to reduce carbon emissions, and the need to diversify its revenue sources.
During this period, the company accelerated investments in renewable energy and established targets to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
The energy transition and the rising demand for sustainable energy have driven Shell to pursue new partnerships and strategic acquisitions to strengthen its position in the global clean energy market.
Today, the company is led by CEO Wael Sawan, with its global headquarters located in London, United Kingdom.
Shell continues to adapt to changes in the energy sector, balancing its traditional oil and gas operations with initiatives focused on more sustainable energy sources, aiming to maintain its relevance in a transitioning energy landscape.
