Cybersecurity Risk Management, Strategy, and Governance [Line Items]  
Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block] In 2025, we continued to implement a comprehensive cyber security programme as part of our cyber defence strategy. This was done in adherence to Information and Digital Technology (IDT) requirements based on the Shell Performance Framework (SPF). Our Information and Digital Technology Standard sets out a structured approach to identify, assess and mitigate IT and cyber security risks. Following the approval of the IDT requirements, we refreshed our Information Risk Management capabilities and streamlined the organisational structure to enhance the formal Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) role, with support from the Executive Committee. This included integrating the cyber defence teams and other decentralised cyber security functions into the central Cyber and Information Security Office organisation.
