DESCRIPTION:

Waves lap at the shoreline of a beach, the rising sun painting the horizon a mix of oranges and yellows and purples.

Above the sand, people gather at a low fence to watch the sunrise as two children run slowly past.

MALE SPEAKER:

People really thrive on being part of a community and working together.

DESCRIPTION:

A teenage girl has blonde hair and wears black-framed glasses. She runs her hands over some tall grass stalks bathed in sunshine. A smiling brunette girl stands alongside her.

Later, the two teenage girls walk along a dirt track with an older man.

FEMALE SPEAKER:

Through their engagement, they become empowered and their empowerment contributes to our community.

DESCRIPTION:

An aerial view of a red dirt road cutting through bushland that stretches in all directions.

Sunshine glistens through the metal blades of a windmill.

A young woman wears a light-brown Akubra hat and leans on a metal fence rail as she laughs with a moustachioed young man who wears a white cowboy hat.

FEMALE SPEAKER:

Shell certainly extends themselves taking that responsibility seriously.

DESCRIPTION:

A blonde woman greets young children at the gate of a kindergarten.

Elsewhere, a dark-haired woman wears orange Hi-Vis as she climbs into a white ute that has the yellow-and-red Shell logo on the door and blue letters alongside that read ‘QGC’. Later, she drives the ute and, later again, she stands near a large industrial complex with an orange Hi-Vis jacket and white hardhat.

FEMALE SPEAKER:

If one business does well, every other business does well.

DESCRIPTION:

The sun sits below distant hills, painting a stretch of clouds above and the still waters around a large marina with golden light.

Elsewhere, a man and a woman walk through a workshop chatting.

MALE SPEAKER:

Companies like Shell understand that the local community is what keeps the local industry going.

DESCRIPTION:

An indigenous man sits on the metal rail of a fence and watches a herd of horses kick up dust inside a pen. He wears a black baseball cap and an orange collared shirt.

A camel train ambles along the flat sand of a beach as the glowing sun bathes the riders in light.

The blonde woman from earlier hugs a small child on her lap who wears a pink ‘Wandoan Kindergarten’ polo t-shirt and a blue bucket hat.

Later, she smiles as she talks to a young blonde girl who has a lavender-purple ribbon in her ponytail.

FEMALE SPEAKER:

It's just excellent knowing that we're important as well.

DESCRIPTION:

On a white background, the yellow-and-red Shell logo flares briefly and black text below reads ‘The power of local community’.
