Building effective teams for short- and long-term success , Begon challenges the status quo for competitive results , prioritising HSSE and upholding core business ethics at Shell .

Aprime example of how small components of a much larger supply chain can have a profound impact on the sustainable outcomes of a business . When we think about aviation , we often transition to talks of sustainable aviation fuel ( SAF ) or the up and coming adaptations taking place to enable electric regional flight .

To totally eliminate the impact of the industry is a feat of a generation and the pressure is on to gauge the influence of certain materials , components and substances on the overall success of decarbonisation . Alongside this , there are further environmental aspects : disposal , Scope 3 emissions , and overall wastage .
Nevertheless , Shell is now facing the most significant transformation as it delivers sustainable solutions for its decarbonised transportation offerings .
