Outcome of audit tender process
December 12, 2024
Shell plc (the Company) announces that, following the conclusion of a competitive audit tender process led by the Audit and Risk Committee, the Board has approved the proposed re-appointment of Ernst & Young LLP (EY) as its external auditor to take effect from, and including, the financial year ending 31 December 2026. The re-appointment is subject to shareholder approval at the Company’s 2026 Annual General Meeting.

We disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report & Accounts that the tender process had commenced, with a view to reaching a conclusion before the end of 2024.
