Cairo: Shell Egypt proudly announces participating as a ‘Partner’ in the Egypt Energy Show (EGYPES) 2024, one of the region's premier energy conference and exhibition taking place from February 19-21 under the auspices of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Tarek El-Molla. Shell Egypt will leverage the event to further the conversations amongst relevant public and private sector stakeholders towards accelerating Egypt’s transformation into a regional energy hub.

A number of senior Shell representatives will be speaking at the EGYPES, with Eugene Okpere, Shell Executive Vice President for Exploration, Strategy & Portfolio, as speaker at the panel titled “The energy trilemma and the continued importance of fossil fuels” at the Strategic Conference.

Dalia El Gabry, Vice President and Country Chair of Shell Egypt, will participate in a panel discussion titled “The Evolution of Natural Gas & LNG” on the second day of the event. With gas currently meeting a quarter of the world’s energy needs, and serving both energy security and the transition to lower carbon emission solutions, El Gabry will highlight Shell's commitment to addressing the growing need for affordable and reliable energy.

El Gabry stated, “Shell Egypt has an optimistic outlook on the Egyptian market. Despite global economic and geopolitical challenges, the MENA region, and Egypt in particular, have demonstrated a high degree of resilience owing to a visionary approach that relies on long-term planning and solidifying the industry’s infrastructure. Our support of EGYPES this year is testament to our belief in a holistic industry framework embracing all kinds of energy with an eye on energy security.  Stemming from our belief that the private sector is a key stakeholder in unlocking the industry’s complete value chain, at Shell Egypt, we are intensifying collaborative efforts with the Egyptian government, aligning with the nation's aspirations to evolve into a pivotal regional energy hub.”

Wafaa El Ashry, Shell Egypt's HR Manager, will contribute insights to the broader dialogue by participating in a panel discussion on “Millennials and Gen Z Perspectives on Careers in Energy” on February 21, highlighting the importance of talent management and retention of such groups across the sector.

On the social investment front, more than 60 young men and women from the Shell NXplorers program will present solutions addressing energy sustainability, using NXplorers complex thinking methodologies, tools and creative problem-solving skills, through a student competition, the results of which will be announced during EGYPES 2024. Their solutions will lie at the intersection of technology and engineering in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Egypt Vision 2030 towards a more sustainable future.

Through its joint-ventures, Shell Egypt has also been shortlisted in two categories of the EGYPES Sustainability in Energy Awards. With nine curated categories, the EGYPES Awards shine a spotlight on solutions to challenges faced by the energy industry, while championing energy security and the transition to a lower carbon future. Judged by a panel of global experts in decarbonisation, technology, sustainability, and climate change, EGYPES Awards winners will be unveiled at an exclusive ceremony as part of EGYPES’ Sustainability in Energy Conference.

Shell Egypt looks forward to actively engaging with industry leaders, stakeholders through EGYPES 2024, contributing to the ongoing dialogue on shaping the future of Egypt and the region’s energy landscape.

Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Additional risk factors that may affect future results are contained in Shell plc’s Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 (available at www.shell.com/investor and www.sec.gov

). These risk factors also expressly qualify all forward-looking statements contained in this announcement and should be considered by the reader. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this announcement, February 18, 2024. Neither Shell plc nor any of its subsidiaries undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or other information.

Shell’s net carbon intensity

Also, in this announcement we may refer to Shell’s “Net Carbon Intensity”, which include Shell’s carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers’ carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers’ carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the term Shell’s “Net Carbon Intensity” is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.

Shell’s net-Zero Emissions Target

Shell’s operating plan, outlook and budgets are forecasted for a ten-year period and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next ten years. Accordingly, they reflect our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Net Carbon Intensity (NCI) targets over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plans cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target and 2035 NCI target, as these targets are currently outside our planning period. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target.

Forward Looking Non-GAAP measures

This announcement may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as cash capital expenditure and divestments. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc’s consolidated financial statements.

The contents of websites referred to in this announcement do not form part of this announcement.

We may have used certain terms, such as resources, in this announcement that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) strictly prohibits us from including in our filings with the SEC. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F, File No 1-32575, available on the SEC website www.sec.gov.
