Shell’s boss’s pay was cut in half in 2019.

The FTSE 100 energy business said Ben van Beurden was paid £8.7million last year – a 51 per cent drop on 2018. 

It came after a year when seven people died while working for the company and its turnover dropped.

Van Beurden has been chief executive since 2014. 

His base salary was around £1.4million and he received more than £6million from a long-term performance share plan. 

But, at £700,000, his bonus was almost 75 per cent lower than the year before.
