Shell angers climate activists with plan for $23bn shareholder payout

Shell’s chief executive officer, Wael Sawan, told investors to expect payouts “well in excess” of expectations, just days after setting out plans to cut up to 25% of the staff working in Shell’s low-carbon solutions team.

Shell’s board faces a shareholder rebellion as large investors including the UK’s biggest pension scheme prepare to back a climate activist resolution. Twenty-seven investors have agreed to back a resolution filed by the Dutch shareholder activists at Follow This that calls for the oil company to align its medium-term emissions reduction targets with the 2015 Paris agreement. The investor coalition together owns about 5% of Shell’s shares and includes the government-backed National Employment Savings Trust (Nest), which manages the pensions of almost a quarter of the UK’s workers. The resolution has also won the backing of the French asset management firm Amundi, which holds almost €2tn (£1.7tn) in assets, as well as Candriam, Scottish Widows, and Rathbones Group. ... Shareholders will be asked to vote on the resolution at the £160bn company’s annual general meeting in May. The resolution has already received the backing of investors who together hold about €4tn in assets under management, and support is expected to grow over the months before Shell’s annual general meeting, according to Mark van Baal, the founder of Follow This. Van Baal said: “This escalation of 27 leading investors puts the call for emissions reductions by energy companies front and centre for all institutional investors.” ... Shell is expected to face growing opposition from ethical investors and climate activists after abandoning its plans to reduce its oil and gas production before the end of the decade.

Shell and Unilever are still operating in Russia.

Two of Britain’s biggest companies have been blasted for continuing to operate in Russia after it invaded Ukraine. Despite an exodus of firms after the war began last February, oil giant Shell is still trading Russian gas a year after promising to pull out of the country’s energy market. And Dove soap and Cornetto maker Unilever has been labelled an ‘international sponsor of war’ by the Ukrainian government as it continues to sell food and hygiene products in Russia. The broadside marked a difficult start for boss Hein Schumacher, who took over at the weekend. Campaigners at the Moral Rating Agency (MRA), which pushes for companies to exit the Russian market, have called on Schumacher to ‘do the moral thing’ and pull the business out of the country.

‘A Cornetto ice cream seems innocuous until you realise that millions of them being sold each day can quickly pay for the launch of a missile,’ said MRA founder Mark Dixon. ‘Likewise, a bar of Dove soap starts to look pretty dirty when there are enough of them being produced to purchase a Russian tank.’

Shell, meanwhile, has been accused by Ukrainian officials of accepting ‘blood money’ by continuing to deal in Russian energy. It is shipping Russian gas through a deal with Novatek, Russia’s second-largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) firm, which compels it to buy 900,000 tonnes per year from the Yamal Peninsula in Siberia.

If you are interested in boycotting, Shell is largely unambiguous about its products. However Unilever owns hundreds of brands. This graphic is probably incomplete.

Shell and Unilever are financing Russian terrorist acts like these.

4 people dead, 34 wounded, 50 cars destroyed and 30 houses damaged: aftermath of Russian strike on Lviv

These are intentional acts of terrorism against civilians; such atrocities take place almost every day. The number of casualties caused by Vladimir Putin and his fellow Kremlin war criminals would have made Osama bin Laden envious.

Frankly, Putin should be regarded the way bin Laden was and should not be normalized. Western companies have had plenty of time to notice what is going on and leave Russia.

BTW, this is not the first time Shell Oil has been chummy with genocidal dictators...
