Shell publishes reports on payments to governments, and climate and energy transition lobbying

Shell publishes its 2025 Report on Payments to Governments. This report provides a consolidated overview of the payments made to governments by Shell plc and its subsidiary undertakings (Shell) for the year 2025, as required under the UK’s Reports on Payments to Governments Regulations 2014 (as amended in December 2015).

In line with the regulations, this report only covers extractive activities and payments equal to or above the £86,000 or equivalent materiality threshold, resulting in payments made to governments in 26 countries being included.

They will also publish the Climate and Energy Transition Lobbying Report 2025, which gives an update on direct and indirect climate and energy transition-related advocacy in 2025.
