Greenpeace activists gatecrashed the annual Oil & Money Conference dinner at London’s Grosvenor Hotel on 8 October to protest at IOCs’ role in climate change. The activists unfurled a banner reading “BP and Shell Climate Criminals” at the event, hosted by Energy Intelligence, where the Energy Executive of the Year award was due to pass from BP’s outgoing chief executive Bob Dudley, who is due to step down next year, to Royal Dutch Shell’s Ben van Beurden.
