THE INDEPENDENT (UK): Market Report: Concern over sliding sales hits Morrisons: “Meanwhile, punters piled into BG Group, which stood at the top of the blue-chip gainers’ list. Its shares rose8.25p to 422.25p, as rumours of a bid for the gas group once again did the rounds of City dealing rooms. According to yesterday’s speculation, an oil major, possibly Shell, is looking to buy the company. BG is, by industry standards, something of a minnow, but boasts expensive reserves.” (ShellNews.net) 16 March 05 read more

Radio Netherlands: Oil giant goes on drilling despite bad press

March 2005

by Pieternel Gruppen,

Despite massive attempts to change the way in which it is perceived, Anglo-Dutch oil giant Shell is facing familiar problems once again. Having pumped money and effort into trying to shake off a negative image, the company is again attracting bad press. Following a rise in petrol prices, Shell is now the subject of a boycott in Argentina, and is meanwhile entangled in a border conflict between Asian neighbours Malaysia and Indonesia.

It was back in 1995 when Shell announced a major change in corporate policy, promising to focus greater attention on areas such as the environment and human rights. Socially-responsible entrepreneurship and transparency were the new watchwords. One of the factors behind the changes was the well-publicised controversy surrounding the Brent Spar oil platform. read more
