THE HAGUE, NETHERLANDS, May 17, 2011: During the Shell annual general assembly (AGM) in The Hague, today, Friends of the Earth International presented an erratum [1] to Shells 2010 annual report. In this spoof erratum, which was distributed among shareholders, Shell ‘admits’ that it is causing a lot of unwanted and unnecessary damage in its global oil-gas- and biofuels operations. The company also states that Shell has learnt from these mistakes and pledges to take full responsibility to prevent and mitigate costs for the environment and people affected by our operations.
