Colonialism, ruthless financialisation, and insidious tactics designed to obscure the truth and hold onto power; a breakdown of how Shell has accumulated power and profit, and why it cannot be part of a just energy transition.
Suing, taxing, regulating, nationalising, bankrupting; what are the pathways to a Future Beyond Shell? Sign up for the podcasts series —launching in April— to explore how multinationals like Shell could, and eventually will, meet their end.
As the fossil free movement gains traction, Shell and other multinationals are increasingly concerned about their public image. Elaborate marketing and advertising campaigns are used to cover the dirty truth with a green coating.
We have received the following obituary about Shell’s demise, from an author reaching us from the future. Reluctant to disrupt the arc of history bending towards justice, we are publishing it unredacted.
An in-depth analysis of Shell’s financialisation reveals how they have maximised profit at any expense. Creative tax structures, dividend and share gymnastics, strategic debt and asset accumulation; read how Shell became the archetype neoliberal multinational.
Oil interests are deeply entrenched in colonial history, and benefit from the colonial dynamics that persist today. The following article unpacks Indonesia’s history of oil, colonialism and local resistance, not only revealing Shell’s complicity, but also its direct interests in colonial violence.
How can energy be owned, managed, and produced in a way that is just, clean and affordable? Principles to root ourselves in and pioneering examples from around the world pave the way towards a Future Beyond Shell and the injustice it represents.
The Energy Charter Treaty is the fossil fuel industry's legal enforcement lobby outside all national sovereignty and democratic accountability. Can we really talk about a just energy transition while instruments like ECT and ISDS are still operational?
