World Business Report

Available for over a year

Top investors in Royal Dutch Shell have stepped up pressure on the oil and gas giant to commit to targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We hear from Christiane Hoelz, representing Germany's largest investor association, as well as Luke Fletcher from the Climate Disclosure Project. Our regular commentator Roger Bootle of Capital Economics gives us his take on the coalition taking shape in Italy. Plus, we look at the influence of the 9 to 5 day on gender pay inequality with one of Deloitte's head of talent, Emma Codd. Consultant Chris Cooke explains the challenges for Google with the launch of its YouTube music streaming service, while cellist and composer Zoe Keating gives her reaction.
