“Royal Dutch Shell” are sometimes used for convenience where references are made to Royal Dutch Shell plc and its subsidiaries in general. Likewise, the
words “we”, “us” and “our” are also used to refer to subsidiaries in general or to those who work for them. These expressions are also used where no useful
purpose is served by identifying the particular company or companies. ‘‘Subsidiaries’’, “Shell subsidiaries” and “Shell companies” as used in this
presentation refer to companies in which Royal Dutch Shell either directly or indirectly has control, by having either a majority of the voting rights or the
right to exercise a controlling influence. The companies in which Shell has significant influence but not control are referred to as “associated companies” or
“associates” and companies in which Shell has joint control are referred to as “jointly controlled entities”. In this presentation, associates and jointly
controlled entities are also referred to as “equity-accounted investments”. The term “Shell interest” is used for convenience to indicate the direct and/or
indirect (for example, through our 24% shareholding in Woodside Petroleum Ltd.) ownership interest held by Shell in a venture, partnership or company,
after exclusion of all third-party interest.
This presentation contains forward-looking statements concerning the financial condition, results of operations and businesses of Royal Dutch Shell. All
statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements of
future expectations that are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements. Forward-looking statements
include, among other things, statements concerning the potential exposure of Royal Dutch Shell to market risks and statements expressing management’s
expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions. These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases
such as ‘‘anticipate’’, ‘‘believe’’, ‘‘could’’, ‘‘estimate’’, ‘‘expect’’, ‘‘intend’’, ‘‘may’’, ‘‘plan’’, ‘‘objectives’’, ‘‘outlook’’, ‘‘probably’’, ‘‘project’’, ‘‘will’’, ‘‘seek’’,
‘‘target’’, ‘‘risks’’, ‘‘goals’’, ‘‘should’’ and similar terms and phrases. There are a number of factors that could affect the future operations of Royal Dutch
Shell and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements included in this presentation, including
(without limitation): (a) price fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas; (b) changes in demand for the Shell’s products; (c) currency fluctuations; (d) drilling
and production results; (e) reserve estimates; (f) loss of market share and industry competition; (g) environmental and physical risks; (h) risks associated
with the identification of suitable potential acquisition properties and targets, and successful negotiation and completion of such transactions; (i) the risk of
doing business in developing countries and countries subject to international sanctions; (j) legislative, fiscal and regulatory developments including
regulatory measures addressing climate change; (k) economic and financial market conditions in various countries and regions; (l) political risks, including
the risks of expropriation and renegotiation of the terms of contracts with governmental entities, delays or advancements in the approval of projects and
delays in the reimbursement for shared costs; and (m) changes in trading conditions. All forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are
expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Readers should not place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements. Additional factors that may affect future results are contained in Royal Dutch Shell’s 20-F for the year ended December 31,
2009 (available at www.shell.com/investor and www.sec.gov ). These factors also should be considered by the reader. Each forward-looking statement
speaks only as of the date of this presentation, 2.12.2010. Neither Royal Dutch Shell nor any of its subsidiaries undertake any obligation to publicly update
or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or other information. In light of these risks, results could differ
materially from those stated, implied or inferred from the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation.

reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing
economic and operating conditions. We may have used certain terms in this presentation that SEC's guidelines strictly prohibit us from including in filings
with the SEC. U.S. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F, File No 1-32575, available on the SEC website www.sec.gov.

13. SAFETY CULTURE
Goal Zero, no harm to people, no significant incidents
Supported by 3 behaviours: Comply, Intervene, Respect
Safety:
Personal safety 12 Life Saving Rules
Process safety suite of tools
“I believe that an organization with all the right systems and tools in place to
manage and reduce risks to people and processes will fall short if it does not
also have a culture where safety is seen and felt in every aspect of the
organization. The systems, processes and culture all must work together.”

opleidingen als RC/EMFC

18. STELLING 2
• Een goede strategie, die slecht gedragen wordt door de
organisatie is niet goed...
Maar een slechte strategie, die volledig door de
organisatie wordt omarmd, is niet beter...
