Raising incomes while lowering emissions
We ground our work in the needs of people earning less than a net living wage
Supporting an energy transition that works for everyone
Shell Foundation supports clean energy solutions that raise incomes while cutting emissions for a smallholder farmer, a transporter and a micro-entrepreneur in Africa and Asia.
We de-risk new technologies and markets and drive innovation towards scale. We seek partnership with proven industry leaders to scale commercial energy solutions and co-design interventions that have gender intentionality embedded.
We ground our work in three groups of people
These people represent the largest number of people whose incomes can be materially increased through clean energy
We support the growth of gender-inclusive solutions
Shell Foundation applies gender intentionality across all areas of its operations to increase access to products, resources and finance for women and entrepreneurs.
Evidence shows that diverse and inclusive companies are more profitable, innovative, and resilient.
