Part of our ongoing satirical reading of the Shell Annual Report — so you don’t have to. Strategic clarity achieved through the careful arrangement of reassuring phrases
Another year, another Shell annual report.

Geopolitical tensions persisted, energy markets remained volatile, and the global energy transition continued to develop in ways that are both urgent and extremely inconvenient for companies whose profits depend on hydrocarbons.
