The company has been heavily criticized for its response to oil spills. A Dutch court ordered Royal Dutch Shell Plc’s Nigerian unit to compensate for oil spills in two villages over 13 years ago. Shell Nigeria is liable for damages from pipeline leaks in the villages of Oruma and Goi, the Hague Court of Appeals said in a ruling. Shell said that it should not be liable, as the spills were the result of sabotage.

In February 2021, Shell posted huge losses due to the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent quarantine.
