GLOBAL NEWS COVERAGE: FEBRUARY 2010
MORE INFORMATION: Contact  details  for  over 176,000  employees  and  contractors  of  Royal  Dutch  Shell  reached John Donovan and some environmental  and  human  rights  groups,  ostensibly  from  disaffected  Shell staff  calling  for  a “peaceful  corporate  revolution”  at  the  company. The  database,  from  Shell’s  internal  directory, contained  names  and  telephone  numbers  for  all  the company’s  work force  worldwide,  including  some  home  numbers. It  was  supplied  with  a  170 page  covering  note,  explaining  that  it  was  being  circulated  by  “116 concerned  employees  of  Shell  dispersed  throughout  the  USA,  the  UK,  and  the  Netherlands”,  to highlight  the  harm  done  by  the  company’s  operations  in  Nigeria. John Donovan brought the leak to the attention of Shell. Tests proved that the data was authentic and he destroyed the database after being informed by Mr. Richard Wiseman, the then Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer of Royal Dutch Shell Plc, that the confidential information if publicly disclosed, could put Shell employees and contractors in real danger.
