Social Investment at Shell Australia
Working with local communities for a better future.
Across Australia, we talk to communities about their priorities for development. These priority areas come up regularly and have directed our investment:
- Local communities want their young people to have meaningful jobs
- Many First Nation groups want pathways to real jobs, to strengthen their cultural identity and to share their own future through good governance
- Regional communities want to have diverse, thriving economies
Accordingly, Shell has invested in:
Helping the students of today become tomorrow’s leaders who are confident in finding solutions to real world challenges. We think there are three aspects to building science skills and our programs are based on these:
- Inspiring a passion for science
- Teaching science well
- Research
We are proud of our flagship partnerships
