Oil Giant Versus Activists - Shell Sues Greenpeace Over Protest: Report
Portfolio Pulse from Shivani Kumaresan
Shell PLC (NYSE:SHEL) has initiated a legal action against Greenpeace, seeking $2.1 million in damages after Greenpeace activists boarded a Shell oil production vessel in protest against oil drilling. Shell offered to reduce the damages to $1.4 million if Greenpeace refrains from further protests at Shell's offshore oil and gas sites. Greenpeace countered with a demand for Shell to adhere to a 2021 Dutch court order requiring a 45% cut in emissions by 2030.
