A shareholder rebellion against Shell’s board has secured a fifth of votes at a shareholder meeting where climate change protesters tried to storm the stage.
Suit-clad members of the security team in London linked hands to shield chairman Sir Andrew Mackenzie and chief executive Wael Sawan as a handful of protesters attempted to run onto the stage.
Campaign group Fossil Free London later claimed responsibility for the rush, while several other groups also sang songs and chanted slogans against the producer of oil and gas.
