The VEB was one of the main parties behind the revolt at oil company Shell that led to the sensational result of 59 per cent of its investors voting against its remuneration plan after it paid discretionary bonuses despite missing targets. I think that Shell made a conscious decision not to listen to shareholders … I think companies like Shell still dont get the argument, Mr Slagter says.
