[Shell]...will...face allegations [at its Annual General Meeting] about pollution and public health from residents and activists from [USA, Nigeria], the Philippines, South Africa, Ireland, Brazil, Curaçao in the Dutch Antilles, and Sakhalin, off Russia's Pacific coast. Shell denies it is causing excessive pollution and insists all the protesters' fears are unfounded. It rejected Friends of the Earth's allegations and added: 'We contribute to sustainable development. We work with a lot of communities all over the world, and have good relationships with many campaign groups.'
