We are excited to work with the United Nations Global Compact in Ukraine and implement more sustainable initiatives\u201d,<\/em> \u2013 stresses <strong>Peter Kerekgyarto, CEO of Shell Retail in Ukraine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>According to Peter Kerekgyarto, in Shell Retail Ukraine sustainability ambition is in line with Shell\u2019s global aspirations and expectations and is integrated across company\u2019s business on three levels: by running a safe, efficient, responsible and profitable business; for our customers \u2013 by helping shape a more sustainable energy future; with wider society and local communities \u2013 by contributing to positive changes in communities where Shell operates.<\/p>\n<p>The UN GC supports companies to do business responsibly by adhering to ten principles that cover human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. It also encourages companies to participate in advancing broader societal goals \u2013 such as those defined in the UN Sustainable Development Goals \u2013 with an emphasis on collaboration and innovation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Background information <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Shell <\/em><\/strong>is one of the global leaders in energy and petrochemical industry. As of May 2020, Shell operated in over 70 countries, using the most advanced technologies, and taking an innovative approach to help build a sustainable future.<\/p>\n<p>Shell entered the Ukrainian market in 2007. Shell Retail is a part of the Central and Eastern European cluster of Shell Downstream and employs around 1500 people.<\/p>\n<p>To date, the network of Shell-branded fuel sites consists of 132 stations in 20 oblasts of Ukraine, offering its customers high-quality fuel products, including Shell V-Power petroleum, diesel and LPG, as well as a solid range of Convenience Retailing goods, tasty food and beverages products. In 2019, in an effort to meet the expectations of a growing number of Ukrainian electric vehicle owners, Shell installed four fast electric vehicle charging modules at selected fuel sites.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that as currently Shell\u2019s operating plans and budgets do not reflect Shell\u2019s net-zero emissions ambition.\u00a0 Shell\u2019s aim is that, in the future, its operating plans and budgets will change to reflect this movement towards its new net-zero emissions ambition. However, these plans and budgets need to be in step with the movement towards a net-zero emissions economy within society and among Shell\u2019s customers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Global Compact Network Ukraine<\/strong> is the official platform of United Nation Global Compact \u2013 UN initiative that combines UN and businesses around the world and provides Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
