Shell’s Socioeconomic Impact in the Netherlands
Commissioned by Shell
This report assesses the socioeconomic contributions Shell made in the Netherlands in 2022.
This comprehensive study considers not only the substantial economic contributions from Shell’s direct on-site operations, but also the indirect impact it sustains through its supply chain spending, and the induced impact it supports through wage-funded consumption by employees. These impacts are quantified in terms of gross value added contributions to GDP, the number of jobs supported, and government tax revenues raised. In this study, we also consider Shell’s wider contributions to the Netherlands, including its social footprint, the economic impact of its R&D activities, and Shell’s contributions to Dutch energy security.

We believe that a structural advantage for the US, borne initially of the shale gas boom of the 2010s and more recently from the shift of European consumption towards LNG, will create a growing wedge between the two regions over the medium term. This applies directly to basic chemicals, which use natural gas directly as a feedstock and for industrial heating purposes, with ramifications for more specialised chemicals production which are themselves downstream of basic chemicals.

Global Industry: Red sea attacks are a shot across the bow of global logistics
The attacks on container ships by Houthi militants have, once again, revealed the underlying fragility of the international supply chains upon which the global economy relies. The longer the attacks go on and the more ocean freight carriers decide to avoid transit through the Suez Canal, the greater the disruptive effects will end up being.

Industry in the age of the energy transition
This 5-page report identifies five key themes that will shape our Industry Climate Service research agenda over the course of 2024.
