This will be the first time ever that a company’s board has been challenged on its failure to properly prepare for the energy transition.


We’re going to court against Shell’s Board of Directors for failing to move away from fossil fuels fast enough.

This is the first ever case of its kind seeking to hold corporate directors personally liable.

Shell’s board of directors are being personally sued over their alleged failure to properly manage risks associated with the climate crisis... The lawsuit says the British oil giant’s 11 directors have breached their legal duties under the UK’s Companies Act by failing to bring their climate strategy in line with the Paris Agreement.

Environmental law charity ClientEarth, which filed the lawsuit, says it is the first case in the world that looks to hold corporate directors personally responsible for failing to prepare for the energy transition.

“Shell may be making record profits now due to the turmoil of the global energy market, but the writing is on the wall for fossil fuels long term,” says Paul Benson, a senior lawyer at ClientEarth.
