Norway's sovereign wealth fund says backed Shell CEO's pay

Reuters

OSLO (Reuters) - Norway's $850 billion (578.79 billion pounds) sovereign wealth fund, the world's biggest, voted in favour of the 2015 remuneration package of Royal Dutch Shell Chief Executive Ben van Beurden at Tuesday's annual meeting of shareholders, the fund said on its web site on Wednesday.

About 86 percent of the owners backed the 5.14 million euro ($5.73 million) pay package at the meeting. Two investor advisory firms had recommended that Shell's owners should oppose it.
