Bloomberg: BP Investors Protest Against Oil-Sands Venture, Times Reports
By Lenka Ponikelska
April 18 (Bloomberg) — A group of BP Plc shareholders at the company’s annual meeting in London objected to the oil company’s decision to extract the fuel from Alberta oil sands, the London-based Times reported.
Eleven U.S. and British fund managers yesterday said BP’s decision to form an oil-sands venture with Canada’s Husky Energy Inc. last year was “deeply disappointing” and represented a step backward, the Times said.
Oil sands development is having some of the most serious “environmental impacts of any fossil fuel,” one investor, Miles Litvinoff of the Ecumenical Council for Social Responsibility, said, according to the newspaper.
The fund managers, which hold about $40 million of BP stock, include Boston Common Asset Management LLC, Trillium Asset Management Corp., Rathbone Greenbank Investments and NorthStar Asset Management, the Times said.

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.
