WASHINGTON – June 29 – Friends of the Earth and Oil Change International released a report today detailing oil giant Shells colossal contribution to global climate change and its continued investment in carbon-intensive fossil fuels.
The report also reveals new internal documents that show that Shell knew of the environmental dangers of gas flaring in Nigeria more than fifteen years ago, but chose not to stop for purely financial reasons.
Shell greenwashes itself as a sustainable company when in reality it is the dirtiest oil producer of all, said Ben Schreiber of Friends of the Earth. As evidenced by Shells lobbying activities on the flawed climate bill that passed the House last Friday, the company has been instrumental in weakening climate legislation while claiming to care about the environment. read more

Oil giant Shell has pulled off a massive coup in Russia after Prime Minister Vladimir Putin yesterday asked the Anglo-Dutch energy company to help develop two huge gas projects on Sakhalin Island in the Russian Pacific.
When Jeroen van der Veer took the helm of Royal Dutch Shell five years ago, the company was mired in an accounting scandal involving its reporting of oil and gas reserves, a flap that nearly ended its century-long independence. Mr. van der Veer revamped Shells notoriously complex corporate structure, merged its fractious English and Dutch entities, and eventually restored trust with governments, regulators and investors.
