Today I’ve ended my 11 year relationship as a safety consultant with Shell. I've surveyed thousands of Shell employees and contractors around the world to help keep the 'oil in the pipe' and prevent harm to people. I hope through this work I've helped avoid accidents and spills. But Shell’s disregard for climate change risks means they are completely failing on their Goal Zero safety ambition to “do no harm”. Shell is fully aware that their continued oil & gas extraction and expansion projects are causing extreme harms, to our climate, environment, nature and to people. I can no longer work for a company that ignores all the alarms and dismisses the risks of climate change and ecological collapse. 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. I want Shell Execs and Management to look in the mirror and ask themselves if they really believe their vision for more oil & gas extraction secures a safe future for humanity. We must end all new extraction projects immediately and rapidly transition away from fossil fuels, and towards clean renewable energy sources. Shell should be using all its capital, technical and human power to lead this transition, but they have no plan to do this. Shell have ben a major client of my business, and I’ve worked with some really great people. I don't know what impact this action will have on my business and career, and it's possible my reputation may be damaged in the eyes of people I have worked with. However, I feel like there is no other choice I can make. Join me, and exit the industry if you can. #jumpship #truthteller @ Shell
