You will recall the white worms, dying trees and plants in my garden callously dismissed by you at the time as "your horticultural problems" those "problems" subsequently ruined the lives of my family.

An Open Letter to Richard Wiseman, Chief Ethics Evader & Non-Compliance Officer, Royal Dutch Shell Plc from Ray Fox
Article relevant to Richard Wiseman, Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer, Royal Dutch Shell Plc
Excerpts: "From a purely business viewpoint, taking what doesn't belong to you is usually the cheapest way to go." Many companies did little more than "check the boxes" on ethics, he said, abiding by the letter of the law by publishing codes of conduct, without really changing the culture of a company or tackling wider ethical issues.
Shell in U.S. Gov. Sex, Drugs and Corruption Scandal
In the hard commercial world, Shell is, as always, prepared to do whatever it takes to meet its objectives, whether in the USA (bribery and corruption), Nigeria (fuelling corruption and violence, with no end to the gas flaring), the North Sea (production and profit before offshore worker lives) or in Russia (bribery and corruption on the Sakhalin-2 project).
Email from John Donovan to Richard Wiseman, Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer, Royal Dutch Shell Plc: 14 Jan 2009
Shell has had advance sight of this letter and therefore the opportunity to obtain an injunction if anything stated as fact is untrue. The fact that you are reading it now is proof that Shell has not legally challenged the veracity of the content. It also means that Shell refused to fund the independent research needed to eliminate the buried nuclear bunker allegation.
Royal Dutch Shell Nuclear Subterfuge
Anyone reading the Wiseman smokescreen denials on behalf of Shell would be entitled to conclude that Shell was only ever engaged in nuclear research and had no involvement or connection in the UK, or elsewhere, in nuclear weapons, nuclear reactors, nuclear fuel or nuclear waste i.e. nothing which could possibly result in radioactive contamination. The facts tell an entirely different story.
Royal Dutch Shell Pension Fund Machinations
On 12 December news surfaced that the Dutch pension fund of Royal Dutch Shell is heavily in deficit, with a 40% plunge in value as a result of share market turmoil. A $45 million exposure to the "Madoff" fraud was revealed a few days later following speculation surrounding the stability of the fund.
Shell Pension Fund in Deficit an Investor in Madoff $50 billion fraud Fund?
I just saw on Dutch TV that a financial advisor claimed he KNEW that the Shell pension fund had invested in this Madoff fund in the recent past. He did not know whether they still are invested in this fund and phoned them. They would not say. Apparently they have borrowed 500 mln Euro at 4% with Fortis and bought into the Madoff fund which guaranteed 7%. They also invested 500 mln Euro of their own money. Since the Pension Fund had no comments, it presumably is true.
Email to Richard Wiseman, Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer, Royal Dutch Shell Plc: Alarmed Shell Pensioner
Since you have kindly recently answered questions raised by me on other subjects, I feel sure you will want to deal with this matter which is of great concern to Shell pensioners. You might also wish to comment on the related posting by former Shell exec Mr Paddy Briggs.

NOVEMBER 2008 EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE WITH RICHARD WISEMAN, CHIEF ETHICS & COMPLIANCE OFFICER, ROYAL DUTCH SHELL PLC
We also have the possibility that the radioactive contamination resulted from the arms which according to a very reliable knowledgeable source, Mr Gerald James, passed through the Earley terminal persuadably as part of Shells involvement in the oil-for-arms trade.
Shell, Saudi Arabia, Arms-for-Oil, Corruption, & Radioactive Contamination
Assertion on 13 November 2008 by Richard Wiseman (Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer of Royal Dutch Shell Plc) to John Donovan:
"It is only because you know that I am utterly incapable of arranging the actions you ascribe to me, that you repeatedly accuse me of things of which you know I am completely innocent, safe in the believe that I would take no action."
In-house Lawyer: The power of straight talking
Richard Wiseman is well on his way to becoming an institution as far as in?house lawyers are concerned. After all, very few corporate counsel have been in the job as long as the straight-talking Royal Dutch Shell lawyer.
Overnight email correspondence with Richard Wiseman, Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer of Royal Dutch Shell Plc
Quite frankly, given your track record it is disgraceful that you have been appointed to the position of Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer for Royal Dutch Shell Plc. It must be because Machiavelli is unavailable.
Shell Texaco merger torpedoed by the Donovan’s?
We often needle Shell management by bringing up our role in the Russian seizure of the Sakhalin-2 project. Our intervention cost Shell billions of dollars. This was at a time before the poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in London when relations with the Putin regime were rather better than today. Frankly, we now prefer Shell management.
We were recently reminded of a role we inadvertently played in scuttling a merger between Shell and Texaco a decade ago. Both oil giants had signed a ‘Memorandum of Understanding’ covering the UK and Europe. The Shell Smart scheme was mentioned in the press statement by Shell announcing the merger plan.
Judge Shell by actions not words
During the current litigation, Shell has employed undercover investigators who have used outright deception in the course of their activities. I have a letter from Shell's legal director, Richard Wiseman, admitting Shell's association with the covert activities (copy available on request).
Marketing Week: Shell reveals plans for challenging Smart writ
Don Marketing has issued the writ over the disputed idea dating back to 1989, together with a further writ, issued last Friday, claiming that its managing director John Donovan has been defamed in a Shell press statement (MW April 16 and 23).
