Shell consultant quits and accuses firm of 'extreme harms'
A safety consultant at oil and gas giant Shell has stopped working for the firm, as she accused its top executives of failing to protect the environment. In response, Shell reaffirmed its aim to become carbon neutral by 2050.This week, Ms Dennett said she had emailed executives and 1,400 employees and contractors at Shell to detail her intentions to leave the firm. "Because, contrary to Shell's public expressions around 'net zero', they are not winding down on oil and gas, but planning to explore and extract much more," she added. Ms Dennett said she had been a safety consultant at Shell for more than a decade and that her job involved surveying its employees and contractors around the world, with the aim of reducing accidents and oil spills. On Wednesday, Shell told the BBC it was working towards being net zero company by 2050."We have set targets for the short, medium and long term, and have every intention of hitting them," a spokesperson for the company said.
