Welcome to Shell's first quarter 2025 financial results announcement. Shell's CFO, Sinead Gorman, will present the results then host a Q&A session alongside Shell's CEO, Wael Sawan. (Operator Instructions)
We will now begin the presentation.
Welcome to Shell's first-quarter 2021 results. Just over five weeks ago at our Capital Markets Day in New York, Wael and I outlined the Shell investment case and our longer-term vision for the company. Our aim is to continue to deliver more value with less emissions, whilst rewarding our shareholders with consistency, delivering both competitive and resilient returns.
And in Q1, we continue to make good progress. And as we look forward, we remain confident due to both our portfolio strength and an organization which continues to deliver, guided by our principles of performance, discipline, and simplification.
What we hope is now clear is that we do what we say. As we said at Capital
