This report evaluates Shell’s socioeconomic contributions to the United Kingdom in 2022. It finds that, through its direct operations, supply chain activities, and induced effects, Shell supported an estimated £11.8 billion in gross value added to UK GDP, 78,000 jobs, and £5.4 billion in tax payments to the UK government. Shell also supported investments in skills development, training initiatives, and community programmes across the country.
This comprehensive study considers not only the substantial economic contributions from Shell’s direct on-site operations in the United Kingdom, but also the indirect impact generated through its supply chain spending and the induced impact supported by wage-funded consumption of employees.
These impacts are quantified in terms of gross value added contributions to UK GDP, the number of jobs supported, and government tax revenues raised. In addition, the study examines Shell’s wider contributions to the UK, including its social footprint, such as investments in skills, training, and community programmes, and highlights Shell’s role in supporting diverse, and well-paid employment.
