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

The 2023 Shell Plc AGM has been disrupted by repeated interventions by a succession of activists all repeating the refrain “SHUT DOWN SHELL”.
Shell chair Sir Andrew Mackenzie appears to be fighting a losing battle to move on with the meeting…
Shell Chairman Andrew Mackenzie struggled to kick off the energy behemoth’s annual general shareholder meeting on Tuesday, thanks to those pesky climate activists who just couldn’t resist making a scene. They sang, they shouted, and they were eventually dragged away one by one by security personnel. Ah, such fond memories of last year’s meeting, which was also marred by these annoying interruptions, causing a delightful three-hour delay.read more

OIL MAFIA SAGA: HOLLAND AND UNCLE SAM SHOULD KICKSTART THE “WHODUNNIT” DRAMA ON ENI AND SHELL’S OPL245 GAME IN NIGERIA
Transparency International and its chapters in the Netherlands and the US are pleading with authorities in the two countries to revive the great soap opera involving Eni and Shell, the alleged Godfathers of bribery in Nigeria.
Our darling oil titans are accused of generously gifting over a cool US$1 billion in bribes to the chums of then-president Goodluck Jonathan. All for a trivial piece of paper – rights to the OPL245 offshore oilfield. This is recognized as an absolute party for the people of Nigeria. Because, of course, nothing says prosperity like environmental devastation and corruption. Obviously, the US and the Netherlands launched investigations but had to slam the brakes due to some Italian courtroom drama.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 ‘tense’ AGM where obscene profits clash with the pesky climate
Prepare for the showdown of the century! Shell, the notorious oil giant known for its greed and pollution, is about to face a shareholder meeting that promises to be nothing short of acrimonious. It seems that Shell is struggling to strike a delicate balance between making obscene profits from oil and gas and dealing with a pesky minority who believe they should actually do something about climate change. How dare they?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
September was a tumultuous month for the Shell chemical plant in Beaver County.
On Sept. 3, a missing O-ring in a circulation pump led to a leak of isobutane vapor. Two days later, brown emissions were seen coming out of high pressure ground flares — two metal combustion chambers that burn off unwanted gasses from the ethane cracker.
Three days after that, two separate flanges leaked hydrocarbons, and an ethylene refrigerant compressor tripped after it registered a high dew-point temperature. It tripped again two days later because of high vibration, which cascaded into a trip of several other systems.read more
DO NOT BUY fibrebroadband from these people. We are now 21 days past the go live date. Still not live. It is impossible to get to talk to some one so far I have been in ques for a total of over 9 hours. Still waiting for email enquiry to be answered 5 days after sending mesage to ask when Fibre will be installed?
Worse mistake was to take on Shell broadband. They are rip off company. You are given a service blindly. You have a 2 week “cooling off” period but thats BEFORE u have a service. This should go against consumer rights. Stuck with a company i do not want otherwise its £300 to cancel. What a p@ss take. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND SHELL BROADBAND IN ANY WAY OR SHAPE! stinging me for £35 for a router they did not clearly state needed to be returned. 3 phone calls later and they still charging me. Its a mickey mouse company whose logo is ” rip as many people off as possible. Steal their money and make it impossible for ppl to cancel. Charlatans, daylight robbery. It may be a cheaper provider but this is the reason why. I agreed 21.99 only to find they are charging me 23.99. Another compliant still no feedback. DO NOT TAKE ON SHELL BROADBAND.read more
Five years ago, Shell chief executive Ben van Beurden sat down for an interview with The Washington Post and said “we believe that climate change is real. We believe that the threat of climate change is real. And we believe that action is needed.”
Then he added: “It doesn’t mean we have to kiss hydrocarbons goodbye. In fact, we can’t. But it does mean that we have to make more intelligent choices.”
Today, however, Shell and other oil companies are under fire from those who don’t believe industry leaders are making intelligent choices. Dissident shareholders sought to use annual meetings to press their cases this week. And at Shell’s annual meeting in London on Tuesday, dozens of climate activists wore “Christian Climate Action” T-shirts and rhythmically chanted “we will, we will stop you,” forcing the company’s chairman to halt the proceedings for over an hour.read more

SHELL ENERGY ‘ROTTEN, RUBBISH BROADBAND!’
Shell Energy Broadband Reviews recently posted on broadband.co.uk

I have been with SHELL Energy Broadband now for three terrible months. I had no choice because they took over my Post Office B/b account and I could not leave. I have nearly a year left on this rotten system. For some reason, it is far, far worse than it ever was. The Post Office was not good but this is a absolutely abysmal. Even short downloaded programs off YouTube continually stop with that “Loading” message. Music videos just stop midway and take over 5 minutes to load in many cases. I have just tried to watch a SKY NEWS clip on YouTube which is 1 minute 45 seconds long. It took nearly 4 minutes to load and then kept stopping! Trying to contact Shell on the phone is totally pointless and Emails get no response. THIS IS ROTTEN, RUBBISH BROADBAND! Do yourself a big, big favour and go elsewhere for yours! Stay away from SHELL, whatever you do!read more
A fifth of Shell shareholders have voted to reject its climate transition plans, almost double the rebellion that it endured a year ago.
The revolt came at a chaotic annual general meeting in London that was delayed for several hours after disruption by environmental protesters. Sir Andrew Mackenzie, Shell’s chairman, called police to clear the room at Central Hall in Westminster and three people were arrested outside the venue.
Shell, Europe’s biggest oil and gas group, is under intense scrutiny by investors and wider society over the speed of its plans to make the transition to cleaner energy. It has committed to eliminating its emissions to net zero by 2050, but faces pressure to make steep cuts in the near term, including from aread more

During the Q&A session at the Shell Plc Annual General Meeting held today in London, a shareholder drew attention to a survey of UK energy companies, the findings of which reflected badly on Shell.
Shell Energy ranked as one of the worst companies in terms of *customer satisfaction.
Shell Plc Chief Executive Officer Ben van Beurden frankly admitted that all is not well at Shell Energy and pledged that remedial action will be taken.

Climate protesters block start of Shell shareholder meeting
By Shadia Nasralla and Ron Bousso:
LONDON, May 24 (Reuters) – A couple of dozen climate protesters disrupted Shell’s (SHEL.L) annual general meeting (AGM) on Tuesday, chanting slogans and holding banners as Shell Chair Andrew Mckenzie tried to start the meeting.
Shell is due to ask its shareholders to vote on a resolution supporting its climate strategy and rebuff a climate resolution from activists, another iteration of which garnered 30% of votes at last year’s AGM.read more

Breaking News: Security Fiasco at Shell AGM.
11.15 am 24 May 2022
Shell Plc Chairman Sir Andrew Mackenzie announced to assembled shareholders that the AGM meeting is halted because protestors have superglued themselves to seats.
Does the question, therefore, arise of how the activists managed to smuggle superglue into the AGM? The possibility must have been considered bearing in mind that the same superglue tactics have been used previously on a number of occasions by protestors at the Shell Centre building and reported extensively by the news media?read more
Reports are coming in that about 70 people have taken over Shell’s AGM and brough the meeting to a complete standstill.
Shell Chairman Sir Andrew McKenzie was forced to halt the meeting, taking place in London this morning. He is currently sitting behind his desk on stage with no action taken.
Numerous activists are accusing Shell’s board and shareholders of “ignoring the United Nations” and “ignoring ordinary people”.
McKenzie is trying to restore order, without success so far.read more

Listen and read proof in audio and transcript form of Shell CEO Ben van Beurden’s cover-up tactics in the OPL 245 Nigerian corruption scandal. The instruction given by him in the covertly recorded call to CFO Simon Henry was at odds with Shell’s claimed core business principles. Cover-up and obstruction, instead of transparency and integrity, says Shell critic John Donovan
Customer Service NON EXISTENT: Received letter stating engineer would be out between 1-6pm no one turned up, not even a call,to my mobile. Called customer services to find out when engineer would be out and was told I didn’t need one and was connected. I said I was 89yrs and couldn’t get down to switches and didn’t know how to connect to WiFi, they hung up on me. Called again for complaints to let them know how I was treated and would be expecting the £25 credit which states on their website you receive for engineer not showing up, she hung up on me again!Date of experience: 03 October 2023
This company are appalling: This company are appalling. They come out as the cheapest on comparison sites but beware they then up their charges to an extortionate amount once you are with them.
They wanted us to pay over £500 a month for a 2 person household. They also made us pay over £1000 stating we were in debit on our account despite paying a really high monthly direct debit.
We are now with another company, pay less than half of the amount that shell charged us and are already in £600 credit after 4 months.
Date of experience: 16 August 2023
Bullying vulnerable old people is…: Bullying vulnerable old people is pretty low, and that is what they are doing. Message sent saying more than doubling their direct debit when they have never been in debit and we have to keep getting the overpayments back by wasting our time on the telephone to them. We keep putting in complaints which presumably go into the bin.
I really do thing there should be some legal comeback on these bullies.
In any other part of life just taking more money than you are due would either be theft or fraud. What makes them think they are above the law and decency? Arrogance and corporate targets for deposit amounts, and they are probably getting 5% on your overpayments, means their profits swell and anyone who is on a profit related bonus gets a bit more at your cost.
If you think about it, if Shell Energy have 1m customers, and they each have at least £500 overpayments in SE's deposit account then SE are raking in almost £2.1m per month in interest.
They should be made to pay customers 5% on any money they hold over £100 to discourage them ripping everyone off and defrauding vulnerable old people.

The installer who came to install the…: The installer who came to install the smart meter for me was very rude. First of all, he was late - he arrived at 5.20 pm. He raised his voice to me (I warned him 2-3 times not to shout at me). He wanted to see the radiator controller. When I said that there was no problem, but he had to change his shoe covers, he was wearing them outside - it was raining and he was walking on the ground -- HE SAID IT WAS NOT A PALACE AND HE WENT AWAY. He also threatened me that he would disconnect my gas. I also did not receive a home monitor that would control my gas consumption. I also didn't sign the completion of work for him - the signature I gave him before starting work, he said that he couldn't start doing anything without it... That's not the way to do it. It's a showcase of your company, which isn't very pretty.

Bye bye Shell: Fixed price came to an end. Payment is going from £153 to £243 despite the spot gas price being historically low.
They offered a fixed rate tariff, takes the price down to £226, the catch? I must take a Smart Energy meter that I don't want and have never wanted, and have declined SMS who have phoned me easily 15 to 20 times since I've been with Shell Energy.
I've told them every time to stop phoning me, I don't want a smart meter, but still they do it. Albeit I haven't had a call for a few months, maybe they've stopped. I don't know. But not before telling them over and over again to stop phoning me.
I also used to get nagged regularly with text messages to book a Smart Meter despite never wanting one and making that clear from the first time they asked.
Now shell is giving me a high price, with a tiny discount if I accept a smart meter.
I started my switch to Octopus energy today. £217 a month, albeit a variable rate, so the Corrupt Neo Marxist government can treat me and everyone else like an ATM machine to fund the hotels for illegals, and the Ukraine war that had nothing to do with us.
This after they put 28+ energy companies out of business by pretending to care about people with a Price Cap, now the greedy corrupt energy companies have no incentive to compete against each other, since the corrupt Marxist government killed off almost all free market competition.
