Emerging as the 2025 Shell LiveWire Malaysia national winners are Earthlings Coffee Workshop Sdn Bhd, Lariss Quna Enterprise and Lettuboost Enterprise from Sarawak, Rebooz Technology Sdn Bhd from Peninsular Malaysia and WAIG Consultancy Sdn Bhd from Sabah, distinguished themselves from a nationwide cohort of 180 entrepreneurs. Following a rigorous selection process, the five winners advanced as part of the final 15 enterprises. Their development journey comprised a week-long incubator workshop conducted across three locations and a subsequent three-month national accelerator programme, concluding with a final pitching challenge. Each enterprise was assessed on the strength of its business model, team capability, and market traction, reflecting their commitment to scaling innovative and sustainable solutions.

Globally, we empower thousands of entrepreneurs each year to transform promising ideas into sustainable enterprises. I am deeply encouraged to see our local entrepreneurs stepping forward, expanding their businesses, creating jobs, and uplifting the communities they serve,” shared Siti Sulaiman, Country Chair of Shell Malaysia and Senior Vice President Upstream Malaysia.

The five national winners of 2025 each received RM30,000 in start-up funding and access to the global LiveWire network, opening doors to international collaboration and knowledge exchange. They also stand a chance to compete in the Shell Global Top Ten Innovators Awards. To further encourage participation from Sarawak, Tabung Ekonomi Gagasan Anak Sarawak (TEGAS) awarded an additional RM20,000 in cash to Earthlings Coffee Workshop Sdn Bhd, Lariss Quna Enterprise and Lettuboost Enterprise.

). These risk factors also expressly qualify all forward-looking statements contained in this announcement and should be considered by the reader.

Shell’s net carbon intensity

Also, in this announcement we may refer to Shell’s “net carbon intensity” (NCI), which includes Shell’s carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers’ carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers’ carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell’s NCI also includes the emissions associated with the production and use of energy products produced by others which Shell purchases for resale. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the terms Shell’s “net carbon intensity” or NCI is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.

Shell’s net-zero emissions target

Shell’s operating plan and outlook are forecasted for a three-year period and ten-year period, respectively, and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next three and ten years. Accordingly, the outlook reflects our Scope 1, Scope 2 and NCI targets over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plan and outlook cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target, as this target is outside our planning period. Such future operating plans and outlooks could include changes to our portfolio, efficiency improvements and the use of carbon capture and storage and carbon credits. In the future, as society moves towards net zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans and outlooks to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target.

Forward-Looking non-GAAP measures

This announcement may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as adjusted earnings and divestments. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc’s consolidated financial statements.

The contents of websites referred to in this announcement do not form part of this announcement.

We may have used certain terms, such as resources, in this announcement that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) strictly prohibits us from including in our filings with the SEC. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F and any amendment thereto, File No 1-32575, available on the SEC website www.sec.gov
