A safety consultant resigned from Shell in a blaze of glory when she told executives they needed to admit that the oil giant is “failing on a planetary scale.”
U.K.-based Caroline Dennett took to social media following her resignation to outline why she had ended her 11-year relationship with the Anglo-Dutch oil firm.
In her resignation email—which was sent to 1,400 employees and contractors at Shell—she said despite warnings from the U.N. and the International Energy Agency that there was no safe level of new oil and gas extraction, Shell was planning to explore and extract “much more.”
“I can no longer work for a company that ignores all the alarms and dismisses the risks of climate change and ecological collapse,” Dennett said. “I want Shell execs and management to look in the mirror and ask themselves if they really believe their vision for more oil and gas extraction secures a safe future for humanity.”
Elaborating in a separate post on LinkedIn, the former Shell contractor said she felt she had “no other choice” but to call the company out.
“Shell’s disregard for climate change risks means they are completely failing on their Goal Zero safety ambition to ‘do no harm,’” Dennett said.
