KARACHI: The Board of Directors of Shell Pakistan Limited (SPL) has announced the company’s financial results for the year ended December 31st, 2022.

The company posted a loss after tax of Rs72 million for 2022 compared to the profit of Rs4,467 million in 2021.

During the year, SPL continued its focus on business principles, safety of people and protection of the environment; and remained committed towards operational excellence while keeping costs at a manageable level. In addition, there were significant investments in both infrastructure and brand building to maintain competitive advantage.

SPL increased its footprint and commissioned 31 retail stations, 28 Generation-5 Shell Select outlets and 25 new Shell Car Wash facilities with Tyre Care, augmenting customer experience. The company led the industry in changing consumer attitudes and behaviours in refuelling safety. Through a safety campaign “Ehtiyaat Bunay Hifazat” aimed at 2 and 3 wheelers, the company created awareness of risks associated with staying seated on their vehicles during refuelling.

During the flood in the country, SPL provided humanitarian assistance to flood victims through relief to 2,771 households with approximately 19,397 individuals in collaboration with partners, HANDS and NRSP. Relief activity included one room shelter houses, ration bags, medical support, and hygiene and shelter kits to support rehabilitation.
