Pattern of Shell's Malicious Avoidance of Environmental Responsibilities
With the loss of Shell's good corporate culture (see award winning Wall Street Journal article) that lead to Shell's recent  financial scandal, Shell is now hemorrhaging its good reputation over environmental issues.
 
How can anyone believe Shell has not developed a definite pattern of "malicious avoidance" of its environmental responsibilities? Along with the clandestine mass sell off of all its service stations in the United states in order to dump its environmental responsibilities (see Problem Defined) and by hiding the Texaco problem long enough to complete that mass sell off by apparently engineering a failed test in Corona California (see The Right Test) and by ignoring its promises and environmental responsibilities at a California refinery (see Voluntary Compliance); who wouldn't think Shell Oil is on a streak of "malicious avoidance" of its environmental responsibilities worldwide (see Billions Lost and Argentina and Kazakhstan)?
 
Update: Argentina orders Shell to shut a refinery based on Shell's poor environmental record (article here). In a similar vein, a California Senator asks the California Attorney General to go after Shell for not cleaning up pollution it caused at a refinery in California (see Voluntary Compliance). Kazakhstan shuts down the Kashagan Oil Project (Shell has one of the largest stakes) over similar concerns that cost Shell the largest oil and gas project on the planet (see Kazakhstan and Billions Lost). If Shell cannot clean up its problems in the United States, with the strictest environmental laws on the planet, why would anyone think Shell would do so anywhere else? Accordingly, SeeitReal.com has contacted the Argentina Environmental Ministry and the government of Kazakhstan to direct them to this website so they can hold Shell accountable for its pattern of environmental bad faith, if they so choose to.

Stepping on the Environment
Shell can not continue to leave a negative imprint on the environment without remediation in the age of instant information. See the pages linked to this one for the problems Shell is facing in multiple countries around the planet beginning with Argentina and Kazakhstan. For an additional list of controversies go here. Justice can come when the truth is widely known.   
Not Following Established Business Practices
It should be obvious by now that Shell Oil is not following its own stated business practices and code of conduct in regards to the global environment. SeeitReal.com is trying hard to get Shell to understand that responsibility in an era of record profits, record fuel prices and record pain for the multitude of businesses and families around the world. It does not serve Shell's or the public's interests, for Shell to abuse the public trust by not cleaning up environmental liabilities Shell is responsible for. Any pattern of environmental abuse, avoidance and irresponsibility would likely lead to any company's rejection in multiple countries and business environments around the world (see Voluntary Compliance).
