Shell to enter energy supply business in Netherlands
Shell Energy continues its European expansion with its intended launch as an energy supplier in the Netherlands.

Among these are the Cordillera Azul rainforest protection project in Peru and the Katingan Mentaya conservation project in Indonesia.
