Ethical Corporation Magazine (London): Sakhalin seeks new finance support

Sakhalin Energy has withdrawn its applications for support from the US Export Import Bank and the UK Export Credits Guarantee Department. The company had been seeking backing for $22 billion worth of funding for the next stage of the Sakhalin II project.
According to the company, the application was withdrawn because Ex-Im and ECGD, both national export credit agencies, were not going to be able to provide a decision swiftly enough. However, it seems that the environmental issues that have dogged the project almost since its inception are behind the development.
Both Ex-Im and ECGD have environmental criteria that the project may have failed to meet. In 2007 the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development decided not to back Sakhalin II in large part because the project could not demonstrate compliance with the bank’s environmental policy.
According to Sakhalin Energy, the Japan Bank for International Cooperation and commercial banks are expected to finalise project funding in the first half of this year. However, commercial banks too are likely to find themselves under pressure to apply the tightest criteria to any funding to the project.

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.
