Shell Canada using EO-based geo-information for environmental management
Shell Canada has incorporated Earth Observation data into its Sustainable Development Report, demonstrating the potential of satellites to provide a global and cost-effective way to measure objectively the sustainability of business activities.  According to Shell, EO-data allowed them to monitor vegetation, track land use changes, capture roads, power lines and other installations that can fragment habitat. EO-data also provided Shell Canada with the capability to establish baseline environmental information before developing new areas.
