Shell CEO Says Company Can Leverage Customer Platform -- Market Talk

16:06 GMT-- Energy companies need to look beyond gas stations for opportunities to provide customers with services, says Royal Dutch Shell PLC chief executive Ben van Beurden. Speaking at the Energy Intelligence Forum, he says, "In some cases we've even gone into other offerings like broadband, I'm not suggesting that is going to be a mainstream business for us, but it shows you can leverage your customer platform in multiple ways and now think how that is going to go in the next generation of out of home charging, destination charging, on the go charging, maybe hydrogen... or other services that you can think of in the energy transition." Shell has used its retail footprint in some countries to get into the domestic power supply business, he adds. (sarah.mcfarlane@wsj.com)
