LONDON, June 9 (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell will
seek ways to accelerate its energy transition strategy and deep
greenhouse gas emission cuts following a Dutch court ruling last
month, CEO Ben van Beurden said on Wednesday.
"For Shell, this ruling does not mean a change, but rather
an acceleration of our strategy," van Beurden said in a LinkedIn
post https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/spirit-shell-rise-challenge-ben-van-beurden.
"Now we will seek ways to reduce emissions even further in a
way that remains purposeful and profitable. That is likely to
mean taking some bold but measured steps over the coming years."
The May 26 Dutch court ruling ordered Shell to drastically
deepen planned carbon emission cuts in a landmark ruling that
could trigger action against energy companies around the
world.
