Shell
For more than 100 years, the word Shell and our scalloped logo with its distinctive red and yellow colors have shaped the Shell brand and promoted our values and the quality of our products and services around the world.
Company profile
The word was changed to a company name in 1897 when Samuel founded the Shell Transport and Trade Company. The first logo was in 1901 a mussel shell, but by 1904 an oyster shell had replaced it to be the visual symbol of the company name and brand.
When Royal Dutch Shell Oil and Shell Transport and Trade merged in 1907, the brand name and symbol of the latter company (Shell and Oyster Shell) became the abbreviated name and logo of the new Royal Dutch Shell Group. And it has been that way ever since.
The shape of the Shell logo has gradually changed over the years, in line with the evolution in graphic design. The current logo was adopted in 1971. Thirty years later, it has become one of the most prominent logos worldwide
Shell around the world
Royal Dutch Shell was founded in 1907, but has a history dating back to the early nineteenth century in London, when the Samuel family sold shells.
Today, Shell is one of the largest global energy companies, with about 94,000 employees working in more than 70 countries around the world. Shell is headquartered in The Hague, the Netherlands and its current CEO is Mr. Ben Van Borden. The Royal Dutch Shell (Public Limited Company) is the parent company of the Shell Group, which was incorporated in England, in the province of Wales.
Through our strategy, we seek to strengthen our position as a leader in the oil and gas industry, and to meet global energy demand in a responsible manner. Safety, environmental and social responsibility are at the core of our activities.
