Shell today bowed to shareholder anger over its senior staff pay by announcing it was freezing the salaries of its three top directors this year.
Chief executive Peter Voser and chief financial officer Simon Henry, whose salaries are 20 per cent lower than previous pay for their positions, will not get a rise until 2011. The international exploration boss, Malcolm Brinded, will also be affected by the freeze.
Shell also said it was preventing bonuses from rising this year and told shareholders of its decision. Last May, shareholders owning almost 60 per cent of the business voted against directors’ pay deals.
It said the new pay policies demonstrate appropriate restraint in the current economic environment and increased the alignment between executive and shareholder interests. Shell said the changes had been made after detailed negotiations with major shareholders.

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.
