地域資源社会学概論 READING MATERIAL Sustainability at Shell: Responsible means... Energy is vital to daily life. It keeps our world moving. As populations and living standards rise so will the world’s need for energy. That’s why, to help meet tomorrow’s needs, we’re working responsibly today. For us, responsible means applying standards for safety and the environment. So when we produce biofuel from sugar cane in Brazil we use the best practice international standards to help protect workers and the environment. Responsible means sharing benefits with people in places where we operate. For over 30 years our LiveWIRE programme has helped young entrepreneurs to kickstart their ideas. On one project in Pakistan we've partnered with CARE International so that hundreds of rural women can bring their business ideas to life to benefit them, their families and communities. And responsible means finding ways to deliver cleaner energy today, while deploying tomorrow’s technologies. Prelude, our new floating facility, will collect natural gas from remote areas at sea, chill it and shrink it down, to bring cleaner‐burning gas to more people every day around the world. Working together to keep the world moving today and help shape our energy future.
