Malaysia’s entrepreneurs win Shell global entrepreneurship award

The awards are structured around three core categories that reflect Shell LiveWire’s mission to empower businesses in solving real-world problems. Each category highlights a different dimension of how entrepreneurs are shaping a better future through bold ideas, sustainable practices, and inclusive growth.

“It fills me with immense pride to see our nation's passionate entrepreneurs gaining global recognition. Their innovative ventures not only drive personal success but also uplift and empower the communities they belong to. My heartfelt congratulations to all the winners for their remarkable achievements," expressed Siti Sulaiman, Country Chair of Shell Malaysia and Senior Vice President for Integrated Gas & Upstream Malaysia.

Materials in Works, which was announced the winner of the Environmental Sustainability category, transforms hard-to-recycle industrial waste into valuable, repurposed materials, an innovation that showcases the power of circular economy solutions in addressing environmental challenges. According to its founder, John Ooi, winning this prestigious Top 10 Innovators award is a powerful validation of the company’s mission of turning what the world sees as waste into a valuable resource. This recognition fuels its drive to scale sustainable innovation and inspire a new era of circular economy to the world.

Meanwhile, Reclimate Sdn. Bhd which emerged runner-up for the same category works with farming communities to convert agricultural waste into biochar, while providing access to carbon markets through user-friendly digital tools. This model not only reduces environmental impact but also creates new economic opportunities for rural communities across Malaysia.

“Being named a Shell Top Ten Innovators winner is a powerful affirmation of our mission at Reclimate and this recognition strengthens our commitment to environmental innovation that drives real, lasting impact for both people and the planet,” shared Annamalai Thani, COO of Reclimate Sdn Bhd.

Satu Creative, which is committed towards empowering aspiring founders and changemakers, provides entrepreneurs with the skills, resources, and networks needed to build sustainable, future-ready ventures. Ahmad Azuar Zainuddin, Chief Executive Officer of Satu Creative shared that the company is deeply grateful to the Shell team for their trust, vision, and unwavering commitment to building ecosystems that power lives.

“It’s a true honour for us to receive this award and we are proud to stand alongside an incredible group of implementation partners who are each doing meaningful, transformative work in their own communities.”

The category winners were awarded USD20,000, while runners-up received USD10,000 in equity-free funding to scale their impact. The Implementing Partner Award recipients will receive sponsored attendance to the Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs (ANDE) Global Conference, to be held in Mexico in September 2025.

Shell’s net carbon intensity

Also, in this report 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 report 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 report do not form part of this report.

We may have used certain terms, such as resources, in this report that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) strictly prohibits us from including in our filings with the SEC.
