We're disappointed by the Milieudefensie vs Shell ruling this morning in the Netherlands. However, the court agreed with the central argument that companies share a responsibility to reduce emissions. This is a huge shift of the dial towards corporate responsibility 👍

Shell's 'cleaner energy' ads were banned in the UK in 2023 for overstating their investments in renewables...

All the while Shell remains *overwhelmingly* invested in increasing oil and gas extraction.
We will continue our work for a high carbon ad ban so that major greenwashing polluters like #Shell are held to account.
