Out in the cold: why Shell's Arctic plans are a risky investment
The past few weeks has been dubbed by many as the 'shareholder spring'. Chief
executives of some of the world’s biggest companies – Aviva, Cairn Energy, RBS, and HSBC among others – have suffered as shareholders have expressed their very
strong disapproval of high pay for executives, as performance has stagnated or even crashed. The new report that we, along
with FairPensions and Platform, have released today shows just how much more shareholders and executives will have to worry about soon.

Shell: Dear Greenpeace, We know where you live...
Yesterday morning, staff at Greenpeace Germany received an important-looking letter from Shell - well, Shell’s Legal Services department. Over the next 24 hours or so, identical letters arrived at other Greenpeace offices, including Mexico, UK, France, Hungary, Nordic, Japan, Mediterranean, Poland, Greece, Czech Republic, Belgium, Canada and even Greenpeace’s Science Unit. I think it’s fair to say Shell had something they wanted to say to us.

Investigating deforestation for soya in the Amazon
In February this year, I went to the Amazon to help monitor
new deforestation for soya and to make a film to document it. Flying over the
forest frontier and seeing how huge soya farms cut into it, I experienced a
feeling of dread. I knew that current industry agreements forced by Greenpeace
such as the soya moratorium and enforcement by the authorities in Brazil, were just
about holding back the tide of deforestation. But I also knew that plans by the
agribusiness lobby in Congress could soon open the flood gates.
