Shell to Leave Oil Lobby Group Over Climate Policy Concerns

The findings were issued in a first-of-its-kind report on whether the company’s association with lobbying groups is undermining its work on climate change. The report is likely to reverberate across the industry, with most of Shell’s peers also members of the same groups and already facing enormous pressure from shareholders to line up their business models with the Paris climate accord. Shell will leave the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers association next year because of its climate-change policy stance.
