“Donny’s commitment to the highest standards of transparency on ethics and compliance has been outstanding, as has his work on many important legal cases involving Shell. He’s a true champion of our people, of DE&I, and of developing talent across the globe – he has helped to make Shell a truly better place to work.
“I’d like to welcome Robin and Philippa to the Executive Committee. They have important roles to play as we build our new top team to deliver our Powering Progress strategy through providing the energy the world needs, now and in the future, purposefully and profitably.”
