Over 300 Shell VP appointments published on royaldutchshellplc.com

By John Donovan

More humiliation for Royal Dutch Shell which is self-evidently unable to maintain internal confidentiality, even for important information. We have over recent years published countless leaked Shell internal emails including mails from Jeroen van der Veer and his successor as CEO, Peter Voser, sometimes within hours of them being sent.

In May, we were first to break the news of major restructuring at Shell by Voser. Reuters acknowledged: “The Royaldutchshellplc.com website was the first to reveal news of the planned restructuring“.

On 20 June we published an email from Peter Voser listing “Appointments to Roles Reporting to the Executive Committee“.

As reported by The Wall Street Journal, today we publish a confidential list of further senior level appointments, including over 300 at Vice President level. This is of course useful information for Shell stakeholders and the media. It is also invaluable information for Shell’s competitors.  Shell obviously did not want this information released into the public domain. Some people are confirmed in their positions, some others are adding new responsibilities.

We supplied a copy of the appointments list to Shell thereby providing the opportunity, which Shell has not taken, to seek an injunction to prevent publication. Shell has confirmed that the appointments list, which it describes as “an internal document” is authentic.

We are sending congratulatory emails to every person on the list.
