Environmental Efforts/Products

• Reduced GHG emissions by 10 percent from 1990 levels by 2002.
• Meet 5-year (2002-2007) energy efficiency targets for global oil products and chemicals business units. For refining, the target is to improve the Refining Energy Index (REI) from 135 in 2002 to 128 by 2007 (or a 5 percent improvement in the REI). For chemicals, the target is to improve the Chemical Energy Index (CEI) from 100 in 2002 to 92 in 2007 (or an 8 percent improvement in the CEI).
• Actively manage GHG emissions such that by 2010 emissions are still 5 per cent or more below 1990 levels, even while Shell grows its business.
