There surely is. HSBC are now angels when it comes to links to fossil fuels but the Shell sponsorship is so overt & irresponsible personally I feel the line has been crossed.
HSBC ended their support for BC early, leaving them unfunded. They've looked around to find alternative funding. For a year. Seemingly lots of companies are finding it tough at the moment. I wonder which sector has surplus profits???? Shell have agreed to put money into the next 2 Olympics/Paralympics and into disabled sport. Sure, we'd all like to have funding from a sponsor who was altruistic, perfect in every respect with no contention, but there wasn't one (unless someone on here knows somebody who BC didn't know of). What do people want? Say no to Shell and carry on without the funding? And by the way, I think that they are still in the market for other sponsors for other disciplines if anybody has access to a multi million pound donor...
Likewise. Sportswashing?
Moneys money!! It’s gotta come from somewhere.
