Sawan insists that preserving their bottom line should never be compromised, even if it means leaving the world scorched and polluted.
Posted 10 June 2023 by John Donovan
In a stunning move, Shell has decided to keep pumping oil without remorse, revealing its true commitment to enriching itself at the expense of the planet. CEO Wael Sawan, in a desperate attempt to regain investor trust, will maintain or even increase oil production until 2030. Who needs those pesky renewables when oil and gas profits are skyrocketing? It seems the well-being of the environment takes a backseat to Shell’s insatiable greed.
Sawan, the mastermind behind this cunning scheme, will proudly announce the abandonment of any pretense to reduce oil output by a meager 1% to 2% per year. Oh, but don’t worry, they’ve already achieved their laughable production cuts by selling off some of their precious oil assets, like their U.S. shale business. The man has a vision, and that vision is soaked in crude black gold.
Taking the helm in January, Sawan promised to improve Shell’s performance while conveniently ignoring the pressing need to transition away from fossil fuels. Oil and gas, the lifeblood of Shell’s empire, will remain central to their operations for years to come. Who cares about a sustainable future when there are profits to be made? Sawan insists that preserving their bottom line should never be compromised, even if it means leaving the world scorched and polluted.read more

But wait, Shell conveniently forgets to mention their dirty little secret—most of their profits come from selling petrol and other high-carbon products.
In a shocking revelation, Shell’s deceptive ad campaign promoting its supposed green initiatives has been rightfully banned in the UK for its blatant attempt to mislead consumers. The oil giant conveniently failed to mention that the majority of its business relies on environmentally destructive fossil fuels, such as petrol.
Shell claims it will become a net-zero carbon energy company by 2050 while expanding its gas business, shamelessly ran TV, poster, and YouTube ads pushing renewable electricity, wind power, and car charging point initiatives.read more

In a stunning act of selflessness, the ruthless oil giant Shell has announced its departure from the retail energy sector in Britain, Germany, and the Netherlands. Unbelievably, they claim their decision is based on “poor returns,” as if their insatiable greed hasn’t already done enough damage.
Just a few months ago, Shell initiated a strategic review of its European retail businesses, conveniently blaming the “tough market conditions” it helped create. Of course, this review was prompted by their new CEO, Wael Sawan, who was probably looking for a fresh way to continue the company’s legacy of environmental destruction.read more

…fear not, for Shell has invited numerous agencies to grovel at its feet, pitching for the privilege of serving this illustrious polluter
Posted by John Donovan: 6 June 2023
In a surprising turn of events, the notorious oil giant Shell has dared to venture into the realm of media review. Currently under the seemingly angelic wings of WPP’s EssenceMediacom, Shell has decided to test the market and explore its options.
WPP, the stalwart that has dutifully served Shell’s media planning and buying needs since 2005, must be trembling at the thought of losing this precious account. But fear not, for Shell has invited numerous agencies to grovel at its feet, pitching for the privilege of serving this illustrious polluter.read more

The activists stormed the meeting, shouting “Shut down Shell” as if their pleas for environmental responsibility could penetrate the thick walls of corporate greed.
Shell miraculously survives yet another feeble revolt from shareholders concerned about its “green strategy” and decides to continue its legacy of environmental destruction. As if that wasn’t enough, climate change protesters daringly stormed Shell’s annual meeting, disturbing the tranquil gathering of oil enthusiasts.read more

Shell faces shareholder revolt over their laughably ‘inadequate’ climate change goals
Posted by John Donovan: 20 May 2023
Shell is bracing itself for an agonizing annual meeting next week, where it will attempt to juggle the demands for profits with the bothersome calls to address the climate crisis more forcefully.
Shell, that paragon of environmental stewardship, has drawn criticism for its outrageous earnings “bonanza” resulting from the skyrocketing oil and gas prices following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. read more

Shell’s commitment to greed and token environmentalism is truly awe-inspiring demanding its slice of the green profit pie
Wow, brace yourselves, folks! The altruistic geniuses at Shell have decided that it’s not enough to spew toxic pollutants and devastate the environment for decades. No, no, they want to make a profit from green energy too! How noble of them!
According to sources, Shell executives gathered in a town hall meeting to enlighten their renewable power team with this groundbreaking revelation. They have realized that simply pretending to care about carbon emissions and dabbling in clean energy isn’t cutting it anymore. They want results! I mean, who needs clean air and a habitable planet when you can have more money lining your pockets, right?read more

Shell, the paragon of corporate responsibility, finds itself in the midst of an investor rebellion because of baseless claims that it is scaling back its bold plans to achieve net zero targets.
The noble Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS), Britain’s preeminent private pension fund, has vowed to vote against the re-election of the illustrious Sir Andrew Mackenzie as chairman. Why, you may ask? Well, apparently the audacious accusation is that Shell is not doing enough to reduce its carbon footprint. How dare they besmirch Shell’s good name?read more

Shell’s “Climate-Friendly” Strategy Under Fire: ClientEarth’s Claim to Proceed, Because Who Cares About the Planet?
In a stunning display of corporate accountability, ClientEarth has been granted an oral hearing to pursue its derivative action claim against Shell, the notorious polluting giant. It seems like the courts are willing to entertain the idea that Shell might actually be responsible for something other than destroying the environment.
To the dismay of those seeking justice, the High Court of England and Wales initially denied permission for the lawsuit. But fear not! An oral hearing has been generously bestowed upon us, where ClientEarth will have the audacity to ask the judge to reconsider his decision. How noble of them!read more

Shell Directors Escape Liability for Climate Policy in London Court Ruling
In a disappointing blow to environmental advocates, a London court has dismissed a lawsuit holding Shell’s directors accountable for their woefully inadequate climate policy. ClientEarth, a renowned law firm specializing in environmental cases, had personally taken on the fight, accusing the executives of failing to safeguard the company’s future by neglecting meaningful action against climate change. However, the High Court in London shockingly deemed the case too feeble to proceed.read more

Shell’s Blatant Disregard for Climate Ruling Exposed by Milieudefensie
In a scathing indictment, environmental organization Milieudefensie has accused Shell of shamelessly flouting a court ruling demanding improvements in its sustainability policy from two years ago. Despite losing the lawsuit to the energy giant, Milieudefensie’s progress report, released just days before the upcoming shareholders’ meeting on May 23, slams Shell’s sustainability efforts as an abysmal failure.read more

Shell, the oil giant partly responsible for environmental destruction and climate change, has shamelessly announced a profit of nearly £8 billion for the first quarter of the year, revealing its insatiable greed for profits. This further highlights the company’s utter disregard for the cost-of-living crisis that their exorbitant fuel prices have caused. Even with oil prices down from their peaks touched after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Shell still made money at an obscene rate, almost £1,000 a second or £58,000 per minute.read more
The Church of England (CofE) will vote to oust Shell’s chief executive Wael Sawan and chairman Sir Andrew Macenzie at the upcoming shareholder meeting of the energy giant later this month.
The clergy’s pension board – which manages the CofE’s £3bn retirement pot – has lost trust in the energy giant following a row over green investments.
Shell has been accused across the industry of backtracking on net zero commitments and the CofE is particularly concerned that the London-listed company has rowed back on promises to switch to clean power after the Ukraine war sent oil and gas prices soaring.
Adam Matthews, chief responsible investment officer for the Church of England Pension Board, told The Telegraph it was “with genuine regret” that he was preparing to vote against Sawan and Sir Andrew but claimed closed door talks on climate issues had ground to a halt.
Matthews said: “We have lost confidence in the direction of the company.”
The Church’s retirement fund has accused Sawan of downplaying the importance of renewables and prioritising short-term profits since he took over as chief executive in January with the energy boss open to raising oil and gas production.read more

Proxy adviser PIRC recommends vote against Shell’s chair, annual report
May 9 (Reuters) – Proxy adviser PIRC on Tuesday recommended Shell Plc’s (SHEL.L) investors vote against the energy company’s chair and opposed its annual report for “failing to address climate risks by setting adequate targets.
PIRC said it, instead, recommended shareholders vote in favour of a climate activist group’s proposal seeking faster emissions cuts.
Shell, on the other hand, has recommended its shareholders vote against the proposal by the Follow This activist shareholder group that asks the energy giant to align with the 2015 Paris climate deal.read more
The oil and gas industry in Europe is at a crossroads.
The decisions the sector makes on where to allocate capital could make or break our collective efforts to limit global warming to 1.5°C, with massive implications for the economy, for communities and in particular the poorest and most vulnerable on the planet.
The recent announcements by BP that it is weakening its climate targets, and the none too subtle hints from Shell being read by the market that it is likely to do something similar, signals that the lure of short-term profit maximisation is trumping the long-term sustainability of these companies and of our planet.
A disorderly climate transition caused by delayed action will not only miss the goals of the Paris climate agreement but directly work against the financial interests of pension funds and other long-term investors and their beneficiaries.read more
