Company "Takeover" at Shell HQ

Greenpeace takes control of oil company Shell, as Greenpeace Netherlands’ executive director Sylvia Borren moves into the office of “former” Shell CEO Peter Voser. Outside, 70 Greenpeace activists block the entrances to Shell’s headquarters in The Hague to prevent hundreds of employees continuing their work on risky oil drillings in the Arctic. Borren will now work to outline a clean corporate strategy for Shell. “Shell claims to be an environmentally-minded oil company, but in reality the company invests in risky projects to squeeze out the last drops of oil from the Earth,” said Borren. “The intended oil drillings could end in disaster for the vulnerable Arctic. Therefore, as new director, I’ve decided that Shell will immediately stop these dangerous plans and invest their billions of profits in clean energy like wind, solar and hydropower.” Greenpeace will help Shell to end its addiction to oil. Managed by Borren, Shell will now protect the Arctic and invest in clean energy.
