The company put the jump down to the high performance gearing in its remuneration package. Total pay jumped from $42.3m to $85.7m. On top of this senior management and directors saw their combined pension pots swell by $9.2m. According to the annual report the cash was shared between 19 individuals.
The companys three top directors, chief executive Peter Voser, executive director Malcolm Brinded and finance director Simon Henry took home a combined $9.5m, slightly less than the previous year.
The companys annual report stated: The overall remuneration quantum delivered in 2011 shows an increase compared with 2010. This reflects the high performance gearing in the remuneration package and strong business results in the relevant performance periods combined with share price growth.
The annual report also stated that Shell was sued for causing climate change. Without naming the parties who brought the action Shell said the action was similar to that taken against other energy companies. It said the cases were dismissed.
Shell, together with other energy companies, has been subject to litigation regarding climate change, the report stated. We believe these lawsuits are without merit and are not material to Shell. However the company warned it expected increased legislation around CO2 emissions would increase costs.
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.
