by Brianna Crandall — April 11, 2011—Johnson Controls Global WorkPlace Solutions, provider of commercial real estate and energy management for many of the world’s largest companies, recently announced that it has signed an agreement with Royal Dutch Shell plc to manage and maintain 12,000 Shell retail gas stations in 27 countries.
The Shell gas stations are staffed by 150,000 people and serve approximately 2.8 million customers every day—more than one billion annually. The agreement builds on an existing five-year relationship between the two companies, and is reportedly one of the largest single deals in the fuel retail sector.
The companies say the contract targets significant and sustained improvements in health and safety, security and environment, operational excellence and innovation to unlock future value for both businesses. The contract covers 27 countries in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region, the Asia-Pacific and the Americas.
