The investment advisory service Pirc has urged shareholders to vote against Ben van Beurden's pay packet at next week's annual general meeting, calling it "excessive".
The Dutchman picked up £6.3m last year, up from £5.2m a year earlier. The company has given him a 3.5% increase in salary to £1.42m and he has the opportunity to land a further £12.1m in cash and shares by hitting company targets. Pirc said the chief executive's salary was in the top 25% of a peer comparator group "which raises concerns over the excessiveness of their pay".
