GREENPEACE activists dressed as Shell board members partied around a burning sign reading “Your Future” at a mock party outside the Shell headquarters today.
It came as the oil giant announced that it made $28.3 billion (£22.4 bn) profit last year, a decrease of 29 per cent from 2022 but amid a cost-of-living crisis while households struggle to pay energy bills.
Greenpeace campaigners said that the oil group should pay some of its profits into a fund agreed upon at Cop28 climate talks last month to help pay for loss and damage caused by climate change.
