Landmark supply collaboration on climate protection

bg电子娱乐场 signs agreement with Shell on renewable-based ingredients for Persil庐, Purex庐 and all庐 brands

  • Shell to replace approximately 200,000 tonnes of fossil feedstocks with renewable feedstocks for cleaning ingredients used in bg电子娱乐场鈥檚 largest laundry brands in North America. A third-party certified mass balance approach will be used.

bg电子娱乐场 and Shell Chemical LP have agreed to a five-year collaboration to replace up to 200,000 tonnes of fossil feedstocks used in the manufacture of surfactants with feedstocks that are based on renewable raw materials. The renewable-based surfactants will be used in bg电子娱乐场鈥檚 laundry product brands, including many varieties of Persil庐, Purex庐 and all庐 brands. Surfactants are an ingredient in cleaning products that help lather and lift dirt.

鈥淭his landmark cooperation significantly advances bg电子娱乐场鈥檚 share of renewable-based ingredients in leading consumer brands in North America,鈥� said Ulrike Sapiro, Chief Sustainability Officer at bg电子娱乐场. 鈥淭his is an important, concrete step toward realizing our vision of a regenerative planet through a climate-friendly business model. Working together with partners like Shell will help get us there faster.鈥�

Shell estimates that replacing up to 200,000 tonnes of fossil feedstocks with renewable feedstocks has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 120,000 tonnes of CO2e over the length of the five-year agreement.

Starting in 2023, up to 200,000 tonnes of renewable feedstocks will be used by Shell during a combined manufacturing process (along with fossil feedstocks) to produce surfactants. Using the mass balance approach, an independent accounting process is applied enabling Shell to attribute the total tonnes of renewable feedstocks used in the process solely to bg电子娱乐场. This mass balance process and attribution will be verified by an independent, third-party certification organization such as (but not limited to) , and .

鈥淎 mass balance approach is an important step to support the growth of more sustainable raw materials being used in the supply chain and support a reduction in the overall mix of fossil-based ingredients,鈥� said Jillaine Dellis, Vice President, Sustainability & Industry Relations, bg电子娱乐场 Consumer Brands, North America. 鈥淲e are delighted to enhance the sustainability of our top-selling consumer brands in North America through this transition to renewable-based ingredients while offering the same outstanding cleaning performance and fabric care our consumers have come to expect from bg电子娱乐场.鈥�

Robin Mooldijk, Executive Vice President, Shell Chemicals and Products said, 鈥淭his agreement represents Shell鈥檚 first-of-its-kind commercial scale deal for renewable-based chemicals anywhere in the world. I鈥檓 pleased to be working with bg电子娱乐场 and helping it take important steps towards achieving its sustainability goals.鈥�

The surfactants will be produced at the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Norco and Shell Geismar Chemicals facility in Louisiana. Shell will use independently certified sustainable feedstocks.

Mooldijk added, 鈥淥ur collaboration with bg电子娱乐场 is a fantastic example of the opportunity for future growth. We are investing in our chemicals facilities, including on the U.S. Gulf Coast, to scale up Shell鈥檚 sustainable chemicals capabilities and deliver the integrated and sustainable offers our customers increasingly want.鈥�
