In an era where sustainability is paramount, Shell Helix sets a new standard with its commitment to carbon neutrality. As a global leader in lubricants, Shell is dedicated to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 or sooner, aligning with global climate goals. This ambitious target is not just a corporate aspiration but a significant step towards a sustainable future for all.
Driving Towards Sustainability
Shell Lubricants play a pivotal role in various sectors, from automotive to industrial applications, ensuring machinery operates efficiently and sustainably. With an annual supply of approximately five billion liters of finished lubricants worldwide, Shell understands the critical balance between operational efficiency and environmental impact.
Introducing Carbon Neutral¹ Lubricants
Recognizing the increasing demand for sustainable solutions, Shell introduces an extended range of carbon neutral¹ lubricants. These innovative products are designed not only to perform at peak levels but also to mitigate their environmental footprint through a robust carbon offsetting program. By leveraging nature-based carbon credits, Shell offsets the CO2 equivalent emissions of more than 200 million liters of high-quality lubricants annually.
A Comprehensive Approach to Sustainability
Shell’s commitment goes beyond mere offsetting. It encompasses a holistic strategy to reduce the CO2 intensity throughout the lifecycle of its products:
- Avoiding Emissions: Incorporating circular economy principles by increasing recycled content in packaging and exploring sustainable materials.
- Reducing Emissions: Enhancing energy efficiency across manufacturing facilities and transitioning to renewable energy sources.
- Offsetting Emissions: Compensating for remaining emissions through globally certified nature-based carbon credits, supporting projects that promote biodiversity and community development.
Empowering Customers with Sustainable Choices
Shell’s carbon-neutral lubricants empower customers to align their operational needs with sustainability goals. These products not only reduce friction, wear, and fuel consumption but also extend machinery life and enhance energy efficiency. For instance, low-viscosity lubricants can improve fuel economy by up to 3%², contributing significantly to operational cost savings and environmental stewardship.

¹ CO2 compensation is not a substitute for switching to lower-emission energy solutions or reducing the use of fossil fuels. Carbon credits are purchased and retired to compensate for the calculated lifecycle CO2e emissions of the product. Although these carbon credits have been generated in accordance with international carbon standards, the compensation may not be exact.
