Refiles to fix dateline to March 12

LONDON, March 12 (Reuters) - The pay package for Shell <SHEL.L> Chief Executive Wael Sawan was 13.8 million pounds ($18.47 million) for 2025 compared with 8.6 million pounds in the previous year, Shell's annual report showed on Thursday.

Shell's annual profit of around $18.5 billion last year was more than a fifth below 2024's amid weaker oil prices and chemicals results, but it kept the pace of its bumper share buyback programme.
