Controversy level
- Shell plc faced the May 26, 2021 Hague District Court ruling in Milieudefensie (Friends of the Earth Netherlands) v Royal Dutch Shell ordering Shell to reduce its global Scope 1+2+3 CO2 emissions 45% by 2030 vs 2019 — the first court order requiring a private corporation to align with the Paris Agreement — overturned on appeal by the Hague Court of Appeal in November 2024 (Shell still required to mitigate but specific 45% target removed).
