Shell’s Socioeconomic Impact in the Netherlands
Commissioned by Shell Netherlands
This report assesses the socioeconomic contributions Shell made in the Netherlands in 2024.
This comprehensive study examines not only the significant economic contributions of Shell’s direct on-site operations, but also economic activity stimulated through its supply chain spending and employees’ consumer spending. These impacts are assessed in terms of contributions to GDP, employment supported, and tax revenues generated for the government. Beyond these core economic metrics, the study also explores Shell’s wider contributions to the Netherlands, including its social footprint, the economic impact of its R&D activities, and its role in supporting Dutch energy security.
