THE TIMES: Shell focus switches to security
7 July 2005
By Peter Klinger
SECURITY threats are to supplant technological advances as the key consideration driving strategy in Royal Dutch Shell over the next 20 years.
Jeroen van der Veer, chief executive of the Anglo-Dutch group, said that national security and trust in the marketplace were the key issues that needed to be addressed as part of planning to 2025.
He said: “Western societies now look to the state more than in recent decades to lead the restoration of physical security and market integrity. This brings into sharper focus the power of the state to regulate and to coerce, in a role involving both the direct intervention to fight terrorism and police the market, and a more general emphasis on transparency, disclosure and good governance.”
Mr van der Veer referred to the September 11 terrorist attacks and the collapse of Enron as key factors in prompting Shell to change its outlook.
Shell has been using outlook scenarios for 30 years to try to help it to form strategies. In 2001, the last time Shell updated scenarios, Philip Watts, the then chief executive, focused on technological advances that could see a shift in fuel consumption from oil to gas, nuclear and renewable energy.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
