What could Shell have done better?

I’m still unhappy with our safety performance. In 2018, sadly two people died on our watch – one at a refinery in Germany and another at an onshore well in the USA. More broadly, the safety performance at our facilities has improved, but our performance on personal safety is worse than the previous year. We have to step up our efforts to keep people safe.

You have taken significant strategic steps since you became CEO of Shell in early 2014. What’s next?

We are in the end-game of the transformation of our free cash flow that was driven by our acquisition of BG. But we are also at the beginning of the next big strategic phase, one that will play out over the five years ahead.

I don’t know what the next big move will be. But we live in a world with a lot of change and our products will also need to evolve as the world works to reduce emissions and meet the climate goal of the Paris Agreement. We need to be financially ready for that change. It would be a real pity to pass up the next big opportunity when it comes along because we have our back up against the wall financially.
