Committed to fostering a stable and inclusive energy transition roadmap, Shell Oman Marketing Company (Shell Oman) recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Outward Bound Oman (OBO), becoming its official Journey Partner and affirming its support to the educational, non-profit foundation for the next three years.
A keen supporter of OBO’s outdoor educational workshops and skill development programmes dedicated to the youth, Shell Oman is sponsoring Shell Fuel Cards for OBO’s fleet of vehicles which not only include an extensive range of Shell lubricants but also its premium fuel, Shell V-Power. As per the terms of the memorandum and in an endeavor to fortify its EV infrastructure, Shell Oman will support OBO through the installation of EV charging points at their centres in Muscat, Jebel Akhdar and Sharqiya Sands. Additionally, Shell Oman will collaborate with OBO in providing solar energy solutions reaffirming its role as a partner in the nation’s decarbonisation and net-zero emissions agenda.
Commenting on the signing of the agreement, Dr. Mohammed Al Balushi, CEO of Shell Oman, said, “We are indeed delighted to join hands with OBO once again. This initiative, while reiterating Shell Oman’s commitment to the Shell Powering Progress strategy, is also a reflection of the inherent zeal of both parties to engage in meaningful collaborations to further the objectives of Oman Vision 2040 while simultaneously contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.” “Shell Oman’s 'Powering Progress' strategy is a perfect fit for what we strive to achieve here at Outward Bound Oman in terms of equipping young Omanis with the soft skills required to address the challenges that face us all. We have been able to touch the lives and shape the thinking of 25,000 people in the past 14 years, and thanks to partnerships such as this with Shell Oman we will be training another 25,000 people within the next five years” Mark Evans, Executive Director of Outward Bound Oman.
