Our strategy seeks to reinforce our position as a leader in the oil and gas industry in order to provide a competitive shareholder return while helping to meet global energy demand in a responsible way.
In Upstream, we focus on exploring for new oil and gas reserves and developing major projects where our technology and know-how add value to the resource holders.
In Downstream, our emphasis remains on sustained cash generation from our existing assets and selective investments in growth markets.
Our core values of honesty, integrity and respect for people form the basis of the Shell
General Business Principles.
With a workforce of approximately 6,400 employees, Shell Malaysia companies are members of the Royal Dutch Shell Group.
Backed by over a century of presence in the country, the Shell operations in Malaysia include our Upstream, Downstream and Projects & Technology businesses.
Shell is the petroleum retail market leader in Malaysia, catering to approximately one-third of Peninsular Malaysia and half of Sabah and Sarawak’s market requirements.
Apart from managing one of the country’s largest networks of retail stations, and a robust upstream exploration and production business, our operations also include the world’s first commercial gas to liquids plant of its kind in Bintulu, Sarawak, and a complex oil refinery in Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan.

2011 marks Shell’s 120 th year in the country – being one of the early investors in Malaysia’s oil and gas industry.
In 2011, Shell Malaysia will further develop various oil and gas facilities in our upstream and downstream operations across the country. These are the expansion of our wax plant in
Bintulu, the construction of a new diesel processing unit at our Port Dickson refinery, and the Gumusut deepwater development offshore Sabah.
These projects require an investment of RM5.1 billion in 2011. During the construction phase, these projects will create approximately 1,650 jobs.
In addition to providing employment opportunities during construction, we can look forward to the transfer of technology and knowledge from our foreign counterparts to our local talent in the long-term.
We also provide an increasing range of technical, human resources, financial and business support services and expertise to the Shell Group via our shared services centre in Cyberjaya.
We aim to have a Health, Safety, Security and Environment performance that we can be proud of, to earn the confidence of customers, shareholders and society at large, to be a good neighbour and contribute to sustainable development.
In pursuing high standards of performance, we seek a long-term presence in Malaysia; striving to help all our stakeholders improve their quality of life, while contributing to the nation’s progress.
Our Upstream operations have been in Malaysia for over
100 years, focusing on the efficient development and extraction of crude oil and natural gas offshore Sarawak and Sabah. Under production-sharing contracts with PETRONAS, we are the largest natural gas producer in Malaysia.
Shell’s recent venture into the relatively more challenging and costly deepwater exploration and production in Sabah and Sarawak is an affirmation of our long-term stance in the upstream oil and gas industry.
In Bintulu, our gas to liquids (GTL) plant is capable of converting natural gas into 14,700 barrels of GTL products a day. Virtually free from sulphur and aromatics, and highly biodegradable, GTL products are marketed to over 40 countries. We are also a partner in two joint ventures that convert natural gas to liquefied natural gas (LNG).

In Downstream, Shell’s main activity is in refining, supply, trading and shipping of crude oil and petroleum products through the sales and marketing of transportation fuels, lubricants, specialty products and technical services.
Shell is the market leader in retail petroleum and lubricants in Malaysia, and has one of the largest networks of retail stations in the country.
The Shell Group has over 100 years of experience developing the technology and services that make it a leading provider of innovative fuels today. We are the only retailer in Malaysia providing a premium fuel –
Shell V-Power Racing, the Ferrari fuel for the road.
Shell Refining Company (Federation of
Malaya) Berhad is the sole public listed company within Shell in Malaysia. It operates one of the country’s largest refineries on a single site at Port Dickson, supplying key petroleum products to Shell’s Downstream business in Malaysia.
Our refinery aspires to be the “Top performing and most admired refinery in Asia”. While we continue our path to grow profitably, we also have a commitment to contribute to sustainable development. This commitment underscores our involvement in corporate social responsibility activities and practices.
In Shell, this means we are committed to finding and delivering energy products that help meet the growing need for affordable, convenient and cleaner energy. It is also a commitment to responsible operations: building our projects, running our facilities and managing our supply chain safely and in ways that reduce their negative impacts and create positive benefits.
This commitment corresponds directly to our involvement in the social development of the communities where we operate. Apart from hiring and building the skills of local staff, we also actively encourage and support social investment projects, with a focus on capacity building, environmental conservation and community development.
We aspire to establish a long-term presence among the communities we operate in. In this regard, we are committed to helping our stakeholders improve their quality of life, while simultaneously contributing to
Malaysia’s advancement and in achieving the goals of the New Economic Model.
Our Projects & Technology (P&T) business provides technical services, technology capability and major project delivery in both Upstream and Downstream activities. Malaysia is one of P&T’s seven hubs and is seen as the key driver supporting Shell’s agenda of growing the business in Asia. It also oversees safety and environment performance and procurement processes across Shell. P&T has a role in several key Downstream projects, including the new diesel processing unit.
With 2,100 staff, Malaysia has the Group’s second largest Shell Business Service Centre (SBSC), after
Manila. The Service Centre provides common business support and services for Shell operations worldwide.
These comprise IT, Finance operations, HR services,
Customer Service, and Contracts & Procurement.
Beginning April 2011, SBSC is housed in a new green office in Cyberjaya, which is also the first building in Malaysia to be certified with the “Leadership in
Energy and Environmental Design Gold” (US based accreditation).

We aim to work closely with our customers, partners and policy-makers to advance more efficient and sustainable use of energy and natural resources.

Business
Principles
(Continued)
Shell companies recognise five areas of responsibility. It is the duty of management continuously to assess the priorities and discharge these inseparable responsibilities on the basis of that assessment.
a. To shareholders
To protect shareholders’ investment, and provide a long-term return competitive with those of other leading companies in the industry.
b. To customers
To win and maintain customers by developing and providing products and services which offer value in terms of price, quality, safety and environmental impact, which are supported by the requisite technological, environmental and commercial expertise.
c. To employees
To respect the human rights of our employees and to provide them with good and safe working conditions, and competitive terms and conditions of employment.
To promote the development and best use of the talents of our employees; to create an inclusive work environment where every employee has an equal opportunity to develop his or her skills and talents.
To encourage the involvement of employees in the planning and direction of their work; to provide them with channels to report concerns.
We recognise that commercial success depends on the full commitment of all employees.
d. To those with whom we do business
To seek mutually beneficial relationships with contractors, suppliers and in joint ventures and to promote the application of these Shell
General Business Principles or equivalent principles in such relationships. The ability to promote these principles effectively will be an important factor in the decision to enter into or remain in such relationships.
e. To society
To conduct business as responsible corporate members of society, to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to support fundamental human rights in line with the legitimate role of business, and to give proper regard to health, safety, security and the environment.
corporate eng_0205.indd 16
Economics
Long-term profitability is essential to achieving our business goals and to our continued growth. It is a measure both of efficiency and of the value that customers place on Shell products and services. It supplies the necessary corporate resources for the continuing investment that is
PRINCIPLE required to develop and produce future energy supplies to meet customer needs. Without profits and a strong financial foundation, it would not be possible to fulfill our responsibilities.
Criteria for investment and divestment decisions include sustainable development considerations (economic, social and environmental) and an appraisal of the risks of the investment.
Competition
Shell companies support free enterprise. We seek to compete fairly and ethically and within the framework of applicable competition laws; we will not prevent others from competing freely with us.
Business Integrity
Shell companies insist on honesty, integrity and fairness in all aspects of our business and expect the same in our relationships with all those with whom we do business. The direct or indirect offer, payment, soliciting or acceptance of bribes in any form is unacceptable. made. Employees must avoid conflicts of interest between their private activities and their part in the conduct of company business. Employees must also declare to their employing company potential conflicts of interest. All business transactions on behalf of a Shell company must be reflected accurately and fairly in the accounts of the company in accordance with established procedures and are subject to audit and disclosure.

Political Activities a. Of companies
Shell companies act in a socially responsible manner within the laws of the countries in which we operate in pursuit of our legitimate commercial objectives.
Shell companies do not make payments to political parties, organisations or their representatives. Shell companies do not take part in party politics. However, when dealing with governments, Shell companies have the right and the responsibility to make our position known on any matters, which affect us, our employees, our customers, our shareholders or local communities in a manner, which is in accordance with our values and the Business Principles.
b. Of employees
Where individuals wish to engage in activities in the community, including standing for election to public office, they will be given the opportunity to do so where this is appropriate in the light of local circumstances.
Health, Safety, Security and
The Environment
Shell companies have a systematic approach to health, safety, security and environmental management in order to achieve continuous performance improvement.
To this end, Shell companies manage these matters as critical business activities, set standards and targets for improvement, and measure, appraise and report performance externally.
We continually look for ways to reduce the environmental impact of our operations, products and services.
Local Communities
Shell companies aim to be good neighbours by continuously improving the ways in which we contribute directly or indirectly to the general well being of the communities within which we work.
We manage the social impacts of our business activities carefully and work with others to enhance the benefits to local communities, and to mitigate any negative impacts from our activities.
In addition, Shell companies take a constructive interest in societal matters, directly or indirectly related to our business.
Communication and
Engagement
Shell companies recognise that regular dialogue and engagement with our stakeholders is essential.
We are committed to reporting of our performance by providing full relevant information to legitimately interested parties, subject to any overriding considerations of business confidentiality.
In our interactions with employees, business partners and local communities, we seek to listen and respond to them honestly and responsibly.
Compliance
We comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the countries in which we operate.

Business
Principles
(Continued)
Our shared core values of honesty, integrity and respect for people, underpin all the work we do and are the foundation of our Business Principles.
The Business Principles apply to all transactions, large or small, and drive the behaviour expected of every employee in every Shell company in the conduct of its business at all times.
We are judged by how we act. Our reputation will be upheld if we act in accordance with the law and the
Business Principles. We encourage our business partners to live by them or by equivalent principles.
We encourage our employees to demonstrate leadership, accountability and teamwork, and through these behaviours, to contribute to the overall success of
Shell.
It is the responsibility of management to lead by example, to ensure that all employees are aware of these principles, and behave in accordance with the spirit as well as with the letter of this statement.
The application of these principles is underpinned by a comprehensive set of assurance procedures, which are designed to make sure that our employees understand the principles and confirm that they act in accordance with them.
As part of the assurance system, it is also the responsibility of management to provide employees with safe and confidential channels to raise concerns and report instances of non-compliance. In turn, it is the responsibility of Shell employees to report suspected breaches of the Business Principles to Shell.
The Business Principles have for many years been fundamental to how we conduct our business and living by them is crucial to our continued success.

Chairman’s
Statement
(Continued)
The oil and gas industry is a key contributor to the nation’s progress and development and the main source of revenue for the government. This is underlined in the
Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) launched in
October 2010 to propel Malaysia towards becoming a high-income developed nation.
Under the ETP, the oil, gas and energy sector is identified as one of the four largest key growth engines, which together, are expected to contribute 60% of the incremental gross national income growth. This is not surprising as the oil, gas and energy sector represented
RM127 billion or 19% of GDP in 2009.
Shell Companies in Malaysia are proud to contribute to the growth of the country through our activities in this industry.
Shell has been in Malaysia for 120 years, and currently employs 6,400 people, 88% of whom are Malaysians.
Over that time, we have developed and grown alongside the country in all facets of our business, including oil and gas exploration and production, gas, refining, retail, shared business services and projects and technology.
There are currently 35 Shell Companies in Malaysia; your Company is the only one which is public listed.
Shell’s Downstream business in Malaysia encompasses your Company, along with the supply, distribution, sales and marketing of oil products. Much of our business growth, particularly in the Downstream sector, develops in parallel with the nation’s GDP. Shell is the market leader in retail, with more than 900 stations in the country. We are also the leader in lubricants, garnering about 30% market share in Malaysia.
In Upstream, Shell produces 170,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, apart from being the largest gas operator in Malaysia, accounting for 60% of total gas production in the country. Production from Upstream supplied 40% of the crude for your Company.
In Cyberjaya, we operate the second largest Shell
Business Service Centre in the Shell Group, employing about one third of the current Shell Malaysia population.
The 2,100 strong staff provides common business support and services for Shell operations worldwide.
We have great confidence in your Company, as evidenced in our investment of RM810 million for the construction of a diesel processing unit in 2011, despite the current challenging refining market.
We continue to safeguard your Company’s assets and people through asset integrity, and process and people safety programmes. In many instances, this requires a change in culture, and a determination to learn from unfortunate incidents that happen to others in the industry. The Board and I are committed to ensure that there are no major untoward incidents during our watch.
We aim to be in the Top Quartile of refineries in the world. To achieve this, your Company will continue to focus on these areas, with specific emphasis on process and people safety. They are:
• Improving our health, safety, security and environmental performance
• Ensuring that fit-for-purpose products are delivered to our customers every time
• Employing world-class reliability and maintenance programmes to deliver high plant availability
• Managing costs by addressing primary components of the cost structure and effective contract management
• Developing long-term plans to maximise energy efficiency and reduce our carbon footprint
• Enhancing margin capture to maximise profits from our assets
In addition, as the oil and gas industry is technology driven and capital intensive, it requires a wide range of skilled talents. Your Company will continue to invest time, money and energy in developing the human resources needed to man and grow its operations in the country.
With regards to your Company’s performance, your
Board has recommended a final dividend of 30 sen per RM1 unit share (see Figure 1) in addition to the interim dividend of 20 sen declared in August 2010, as your Board maintains its intention to sustain an annual dividend level of at least 50 sen per share in the year under review.

In 2010, your Company’s share price as shown in Figure 2 continued to withstand market volatility

In 2010, our longest-serving Director took his leave from the board after 29 years of dedicated service. Y. Bhg.
Dato’ Jaffar Indot has served us as with unwavering diligence since 1981.
His contributions through the years have helped steer your Company successfully through challenging times, and his insights will be missed.
We also bid farewell to Mr. Kevin Heng who spent a short but productive period on our Board and is now moving on to new challenges.
I take this opportunity to express the Board’s regard and gratitude to both these inspiring individuals.
In their places, please also join me in extending a warm welcome to our new Directors, Y. Bhg. Datuk Zainun
Aishah and Mr. Khong Kok Toong.

World economy slowly recovered from the decade’s global economic crisis in 2010. Gross World Product
(GWP) grew 4.6%, from the initial forecast of 3.7%, largely on the strength of rebounding exports, which rose 20% compared to 2009.
Keeping pace with the global economic recovery, world oil demand increased slowly but steadily and, registered at 2.9 million barrels per day in 2010, a steep increase from the contraction of 1.2 million barrels per day in the previous year. Imbalances in economic recovery and trading activity caused oil price to fluctuate within the
US$80 – US$100 per barrel range throughout the year.
The Malaysian economy grew 7.2% in 2010, outperforming the official expectation of 6% and reversing the contraction of 1.7% in 2009. This better than average recovery was due to a confluence of domestic factors that helped spur consumer sentiment, such as the continuous series of positive news flow from
Government’s various policy initiatives (Government
Transformation Programme, 10th Malaysia Plan,
Economic Transformation Programme and 2011
Budget) throughout the year.
In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Malaysian economy registered a growth of 4.8%, led by higher public sector spending. This resulted in an expansion in domestic demand, which strengthened by 5.7% in the same quarter, year-on-year. Domestic demand for oil products remained constant and continued to reflect a shift of demand from commercial to retail consumers (see
Figure 1).
While demand for LPG and commercial customers remained constant, retail demand increased by
8 million barrels in 2010 in tandem with record breaking vehicle sales whereby the Total Industry Volume for the domestic automotive market surpassed the 600,000 level for the first time ever.

The fluctuating cost of crude and oil coupled with the region’s increased refining capacity resulted in great pressure on refining margins. Your Company had anticipated these challenges and intensified our continued focus on optimising every aspect of our operations and inspiring a Safety, Reliability and
LEAN mindset in every employee. Whilst we maintain our Goal Zero target and our journey towards margin optimisation and being a High Reliability Organisation, we initiated the adoption of the LEAN methodology to ensure we are equipped to further enhance performance and face future challenges.
It is this commitment to a long-term performance and investment in our people, work processes and systems
Plan through the outstanding progress we have made in the three core areas of Safety, Reliability and LEAN.

Safety remains a core focus at Shell Refining Company, and our high process safety standards continue to lead the way forward for the industry. In every aspect of our operations we remain conscious of the risks present in our workplace and have continuously cultivated a strong safety culture through initiatives such as Goal Zero and the Life-Saving Rules. Goal Zero is a simple message formulated to help drive our vision of ‘Zero deaths. Zero injuries. Zero significant incidents’. Compliance with the
Life-Saving Rules is mandatory for all Shell employees and contractors while conducting Shell business.
We saw outstanding safety performance for 2010 with the achievement of twelve million exposure hours without a Loss Time Injury (LTI) in 2010, and maintained zero
LTI through to the end of the year. We also continued to record zero fatality, major injury and occupational illness in 2010.
With over 400 people working in the refinery everyday, keeping a zero safety incident record is a major challenge. Chronic unease with regards to safety is widespread across the site as we focus our attention not on what we did well, but what we could have done better. In 2010, we recorded four first aid cases where immediate treatment was given on-site. Your company aspires to continue driving Top Quartile HSSE performance over the coming years, and to achieve near-term milestones towards zero process safety incidents.
Your Company continued to focus on embedding and realising the benefits of being a High Reliability
Organisation by delivering enhancements in reliability performance. This is key in achieving our business goals with our existing resources and whilst facing bigger challenges.
A key performance indicator of our plant’s reliability is incurred Controllable Unplanned Downtime performance. A Top Quartile performer is typically below 2%. I am proud to announce that your Company achieved a record unplanned downtime of 0.7%. This represents a notable improvement from 2.89% recorded in 2009.

Beyond our achievements in Safety, Reliability and
LEAN, your Company continued to further refine our end-to-end operations with other strategies and initiatives that targeted cost savings, optimised our resources and improved product quality.
• Feedstock diversification and optimisation
Your Company included three new types of crude to the crude diet in 2010, crucial in optimising refining margins.
Opportunity was also taken to procure long-residue feedstock for processing in our Long Residue
Catalytic Cracking complex to maximise margin generation. Additionally, we leveraged Mogas blending components to optimise our gasoline blending capability.
With these diversification and optimisation strategies we increased margins by RM112 million.
• Optimising supply strategy and opportunities
Leveraging on the experience and capabilities of regional Shell companies, your Company benefited from the supply synergy and opportunities of an integrated supply logistics structure, as illustrated in Figure 9. This contributed to maximising supply robustness and gained us entry to the best outlets for our products.
• Costs optimisation
Your Company places prime importance in ensuring its cost competitiveness in the industry. Cost optimisation opportunities are aggressively seized including seeking stiffer competition for contracts bidding, renegotiating contracts for increased productivity and seeking alternative technology vendors, which resulted in significant savings for the refinery in an inflationary environment.
Since 2007, your Company has adopted a Business
Improvement model that has seen us maintaining high levels of operational performance while achieving improved efficiency and effectiveness year after year.
This stands us in good stead against a background of global economic challenges and market volatility.
We continue to stay focused on the six priority areas highlighted in Figure 10, with specific emphasis on process safety and reliability.
HSSE: Improving health, safety, security and environment performance
Product Quality: Ensuring that fit-for-purpose products are delivered to our customers everytime.
Reliability: Employing world class reliability and maintenance programmes to deliver high plant availability.
Cost: Managing costs by addressing primary components of the cost structure and effective contract management.
Energy/CO

: Developing long-term plans to maximise energy efficiency, and minimise our CO
2
footprint.
Margin: Enhancing margin capture to maximise profits from our assets.

The awards and achievements we garnered throughout the year are testament to the continued improvements we achieved in fundamental areas. Your Company continued to be recognised for its exemplary standards in the areas of occupational safety and health performance throughout our business activities with our fourth consecutive achievement of the Grand Award from the Malaysian Society of Occupational Safety and
Health. We also continued to receive the Shell 2010
Manufacturing Executive Vice President’s Award in
Process Safety. In addition, for the eighth consecutive year, we clinched the Laboratory Excellence Award by the Malaysian Institute of Chemistry for demonstrating quality, safety, technical competency and a high standard of analytical services and industry.
A new feather was added to our cap when the Minority
Shareholder Watchdog Group (MSWG) recognised your Company as one of the Top 20 rated companies for its Corporate Governance index. Your Company received the Malaysian Corporate Governance
(MCG) Index Awards 2010 under “Best Corporate
Social Responsibility” Award and “Special Mention
(Achievement)” in Class A for its social responsibility performance and improved corporate governance respectively.

Review
(Continued)
In our daily operations, your Company adheres to environmental standards specified by the Shell Group and fully complies with the Malaysian legislations and other related international conventions and protocols.
In 2010, the implementation of effective process optimisation and waste elimination initiatives yielded reduced waste, emissions and discharge. We achieved
100% recycling of spent catalysts generated in 2010 for use as raw feedstock in other industries, as compared to only 74% in 2009.
We continued to monitor and enhance the energy efficiency of the refinery as well as the discharge of effluent and effluent water to ensure that we adhere to or keep below legislative limits. In these areas, improvements compared to 2009 have been recorded.
In 2010, your Company also completed the holding basin upgrading project for treated effluent to prevent cross contaminants into the groundwater. This has resulted in a reduction of average oil in water concentration of 2.2 milligrams per litre (mg/l) compared to 5.9 mg/l in 2009 – well below the legislative limit of 10 mg/l and the limit of other parameters set by the newly implemented Environmental Quality (Industrial
Effluents) Regulations 2009 – Standard B. This treated effluent water is also used as means of firewater supply for your Company.
In addition, we manage the environmental impact of the effluent discharged to the sea by closely monitoring the seawater quality near the final discharged point and its surroundings. To date the monitoring results shows full compliance to the legislations.
A detailed report on our Environmental initiatives is presented on pages 68 to 71.
Our business success is directly linked to our people and their capability to meet current and future business challenges. As such your Company is committed to developing strategic human capital assets via investment in people development which is addressed in two ways – individual employee development within your
Company and pursuit of further education at external institutions.
In 2010, your Company allocated a total of RM700,000 for training purposes to create a learning environment that enables employees and the organisation to build the capabilities vital to winning performance. Structured and well-planned training modules comprising of technical focused training and soft skill focused training enable employees to acquire the right skills to do their jobs and meet business needs. We also continued our initiatives on the “Vendor Partnering Scheme” aimed at leveraging on more vendors to subsidise selected training programs. Trainings were more localised and with in-house facilitation whenever possible. We kept a close look out for opportunities whereby we could run courses which had “Cross-Department & Multi-Skilling” applications. As a result of these efforts, the total spend to run training programs for all our staff reduced significantly.
Work-life balance is also emphasised to develop an effective, dynamic organisation in which people feel supported, empowered and happy to work. To this end, we subscribe to the Shell charter which advocates flexible working practices and encourage employees to participate in competitive and recreational activities, a variety of which are organised by your Company throughout the year.
Extending our focus to the basics of a healthy lifestyle, we introduced a new programme called “Be Well”.
Based around nutrition, fitness and lifestyle, the
“Be Well” programme was developed to help Shell employees adopt and maintain a healthy lifestyle, and reduce health risks.
Themed “You are in Control”, the programme offered a series of activities including general health talk, weight reduction workshop, smoking cessation program and an interactive web-based self-health assessment. These activities were gradually rolled out between April and
August 2010 and conducted in various locations.
Reflecting the many faces of Malaysia, your Company continues to enhance workplace diversity by integrating the three pillars of Shell: honesty, integrity and respect.
We believe that diversity in our talent base and leadership helps us to better understand the needs of all of our stakeholders, and this will serve to make us more competitive.
A detailed report on our Workplace initiatives is presented on pages 62 to 67.

The way forward is clear to us. Your Company is committed to maintaining our competitive edge through a continued focus on operational excellence, energising our business strategies to improve our performance on safety, business delivery and realigning our internal culture to adopt to changing market needs. The pursuit of strong asset integrity as well as people, health, safety, security, and environmental performance continue to be our major priorities. In ensuring astute financial management throughout our operations, we continue to proactively pursue cost optimisation and continuous improvement initiatives.
In 2011, your Company will undertake a statutory turnaround of the Long Residue Catalytic Cracker
(“LRCC”) unit. The Complex 1 and 2 units, comprising a crude distiller and a platformer, are scheduled for a concurrent shutdown. These meticulously planned activities are aimed at maintaining and enhancing the long-term reliability and integrity of your Company’s core prossessing assets. Detailed preparatory work has been completed and we will invest the effort and resources necessary to ensure that the statutory turnaround is successful.
Your Company is proactively upgrading processes and equipment to expand our capabilities and ensure further operational optimisation in the long run. Part of the
RM5.1 billion that Shell Malaysia is investing in its
Malaysian operations will be used for the construction of a new 6,000 tonnes per day diesel processing unit in the refinery, which will allow your Company to vary feedstock options, increase diesel production and improve refining margins. Such investments keep us in the forefront of the industry and continue to serve our shareholders well.
Having experienced the impact and results that improvements can deliver, the staff and management of your Company are committed to continue advancing our performance in improving safety, enhancing reliability, staying lean and optimising our refining margins with our resolute focus on operational excellence. We eagerly look forward to delivering another year of performance distinction.
Thank you.
