One question people ask is whether PR consultants are neutral on issues like nuclear power and just provide professional advice. One email from Weber to BNFL from September 2004 gives an answer. It said: "As you know, you have a group of people over here who believe in this cause - we would love to do this work, and already feel excited about it".<ref>[http://www.spinprofiles.org/images/a/a8/Weber1.PDF NewBuild Proposal], Email from Weber Shandwick to BNFL, September 16, 2004</ref>

====Using climate change to sell nuclear====
−
One of the main PR strategies of the nuclear lobby over the last three years has been to use the issue of climate change to push for a resumption in nuclear. The argument they have put forward is that nuclear is a low emitter of greenhouse gases and should therefore be used as a key policy option to fight climate change. Part of Weber / BNFL's strategy has been to position nuclear as clean, safe, secure and climate-friendly (see also [[BNFL]]).

For example, in December 2004, Weber wrote a document “The Case for Nuclear Energy”, which reiterated the major themes that the nuclear industry is using to push for a revival – climate change and energy security. According to the document, nuclear's main selling points are:  
 
:• Nuclear energy can be competitive with gas, and may in the future be the cheapest form of electricity; • '''Nuclear power is essential in combating CO2 emissions'''; • Nuclear power offers substantial security of supply benefits; • Nuclear plants can be built to time and cost; • Nuclear waste issues should not be a barrier to building new stations; • The track record of safety and security in the nuclear industry is excellent; • The nuclear industry plays a key role in the UK economy; • The need for Government action to keep the nuclear option open is increasingly urgent; • Action needed now by Government.<ref>[http://www.spinprofiles.org/images/8/8d/BNFL0002.PDF The Case for Nuclear], Email Sent from Weber Shandwick to BNFL, December 15, 2004</ref>

But what about those who deny climate change? They could, by default, undermine the case for nuclear: In September 2004 a letter appeared in ''The Times'' signed by [[Lord Lawson]], and known climate sceptics [[Wilfred Beckerman]] as well as [[Julian Morris]] from the [[International Policy Network]], amongst others that attacked the need for action on climate: It said:

:"Sir, Both the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition made major speeches last week on climate change and the policies that are supposedly required to deal with it (reports, September 14 and 15). It appears that, in this area, Tony Blair and Michael Howard are of one mind. They hold the same alarmist view of the world, and call for much the same radical -and costly programme of action ... There are no solid grounds for assuming, as Messrs Blair and Howard do, that global warming demands immediate and far-reaching action".

In the summer of 2005, the [[NIA]] and BNFL had approached key academics and independent researchers to attend a media training workshop, along with staff from BNFL and NIA, to be run by Weber Shandwick. Although a date for July and August was proposed for the training, the NIA's chief executive, Keith Parker, said in an email: "If, as we expect, the energy review is announced before parliamentary recess in July, we need to be well prepared to hit the airwaves confidently."<ref>[http://environment.guardian.co.uk/energy/story/0,,1847967,00.html Plugging the gap], The Guardian, 3 May 2006</ref>

===Lobbying in Scotland===
 +
In a report in lobbying in Scotland, '''Holyrood Exposed: A Guide to Lobbying in Scotland''', international lobbying giant [[Weber Shandwick]] is revealed to have substantial lobbying connections in Edinburgh, not least through it's co-option of Holyrood insider [[Luke Skipper]], former chief of staff to the SNP in Westminster and man heavily involved in the electoral landslide of 2015. <ref> [http://static1.squarespace.com/static/56057a6fe4b0ba7911a449d6/t/561982a6e4b01839b1bbc5a3/1444512422921/Scottish_Lobbying_Guide.pdf Holyrood Exposed: A Guide to Lobbying in Scotland]squarespace.com, 12 October 2015, accessed 12 October 2015 </ref>

As the firm's chief lobbyist [[Jon McLeod]] bluntly put it, 'There are going to be winners and losers'<ref> [http://static1.squarespace.com/static/56057a6fe4b0ba7911a449d6/t/561982a6e4b01839b1bbc5a3/1444512422921/Scottish_Lobbying_Guide.pdf Holyrood Exposed: A Guide to Lobbying in Scotland]squarespace.com, 12 October 2015, accessed 12 October 2015 </ref>  following the tremors of the 2015 general election. [[Weber Shandwick]] hope to help their clients, such as [[Artisan Real Estate]], a firm involved in a controversial development which has seen Edinburgh's Old City partially demolished, to be firmly on the winning side.
 +
 +
Lobbyists in the Edinburgh office include:
 +
*[[Moray Macdonald]], MD Scotland office
 +
*[[Duncam McKay]], former communications assistant at City of [[Edinburgh Council]]

 +
 +
In the US, Weber Shandwick says its education practice is 'well-versed in assisting higher educational institutions as they forge their reputations and develop their thought leadership'.<ref>[http://www.webershandwick.com/what-we-do/specialties/education Specialities - Education], Weber Shandwick website, accessed August 2015</ref> It says it has 'deep relationships with both the education and mainstream media'.

====Lobbying the curriculum====
 +
In 2011 Weber Shandwick created the 'We Believe in D&T' lobbying campaign on behalf of the UK's [[Design and Technology Association]] (members include [[Pearson]]<ref>[https://www.data.org.uk/for-partners/corporate-members corporate members], DTA website, accessed August 2015</ref>). The campaign focused on forming a coalition of parliamentarians, opinion leaders, policymakers and using endorsements from the business community to petition the [[Department for Education]] to retain Design and Technology (DT) as a statutory subject within the National Curriculum. It succeeded.
 +
 +
====Education reformers on staff====
 +
In April 2015 Weber Shandwick's lobbying practice in the UK hired [[David Skelton]], the 'influential Conservative thinker and consultant to blue chip companies'. Skelton has written about the need to accelerate market reforms in education in order ' to transform the life chances of the poorest'.<ref>David Skelton, [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/11601075/Schools-must-change-to-help-poor-clever-kids.html Schools must change to help poor, clever kids], ''Telegraph'', 13 May 2015</ref> He is also 'fascinated' by how technology is transforming politics, communications and business.<ref>[http://109.123.64.213/about-us/people/david-skelton Skelton profile], Fishburn webiste, accessed August 2015</ref> After standing as a Tory party candidate, Skelton spent 6 years at [[PA Consulting]]; before becoming Deputy Director and Head of Research at [[Policy Exchange]] between 2011 and 2013; and then founding [[Renewal]], which campaigns to broaden the Conservative Party’s appeal to working-class voters.

Shandwick led a multi-million-dollar PR campaign to “neutralize” environmentalists opposed to rainforest logging in New Zealand. Leaked documents showed that a central part of the PR strategy was to stigmatise their opponents as “extremists”, who had “limited” support and who spread “misinformation”. Shandwick, also spied on their green critics and infiltrated opposition groups.<ref>Andy Rowell, "[http://www.guardian.co.uk/guardiansociety/story/0,,258917,00.html Cutting edge]", The Guardian, 29 September 1999, accessed February 2009</ref>

===Promoting the City's interests===
 +
In April 2009, Weber Shandwick UK was hired by [[International Financial Services London]], now known as [[TheCityUK]] to promote the interests of the financial services sector in the City of London, for example on "key issues such as keeping markets open in the [then] current global crisis".<ref>IFSL press release, 3 April 2009, link broken</ref> IFSL's press release announced that the account would be supported by [[Priti Patel]], then "Director, Weber Shandwick Public Affairs" who will "provide additional counsel". Patel is now a Conservative MP. The then CEO of IFSL said: "Bringing the team at Weber Shandwick on board will help us establish IFSL's voice in the public debate on how financial services companies can best navigate the currently troubled economic waters." (Note the link to the IFSL press release is broken; Weber Shandwick's press release was changed in the run up to the 2010 general election, with Priti Patel's name removed. Patel's election campaign focused on her support for small business. According to her campaign website: “Her career outside of politics means she has an innate understanding about the issues faced by small businesses”).

Below are just a few examples of Weber Shandwick's work for clients:

Pro-nuclear activity

Nuclear spin.png This article is part of the Nuclear Spin project of Spinwatch.

Weber Shandwick has a long history of involvement with the nuclear industry. Documents released under FOI, show that the firm worked for BNFL in 2004 and 2005.[2] In February 2006, the PR magazine O'Dwyer's also reported that Weber Shandwick was promoting BNFL's move to sell Westinghouse Electric to Japan's Toshiba for $5.4 billion. US Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez had lobbied UK officials in favour of General Electric's bid for Westinghouse.[3][4] BNFL remained a lobbying client in 2009.[5] Former UK Weber Shandwick CEO, Philip Dewhurst, was recruited by BNFL in 2001. He was also the chair of the Nuclear Industry Association.[6]

Weber Shandwick also worked for Nexia Solutions – a wholly owned subsidiary of BNFL providing technology services and solutions across the full nuclear fuel cycle mainly in the UK, but with an increasing overseas market. Nexia Solutions became the foundation of a new National Nuclear Laboratory when it was launched in July 2008. [7]

Working towards a nuclear new build

Weber Shandwick has been working with BNFL towards a new nuclear build in the UK since 2004. The Labour Party manifesto in 1997 had been opposed to new power stations, stating that there was no case for nuclear power.[8] By 2006, Labour was claiming the opposite - that nuclear power needed to be part of the mix of energy supply for the UK. And in 2007, Tony Blair was linking new build to climate change: "If we want to have secure energy supplies and reduce CO2 emissions, we have got to put the issue of nuclear power on the agenda".[9]

In 2004 - a year before the government annnounced its "official review" into nuclear power in the UK - Weber and BNFL were working on their own plan:

  • "To secure from the review a meaningful commitment to a programme of nuclear new build, underpinned by commitments to:
  • Provide the necessary market and fiscal framewrok for replacement build;
  • Begin a programme or review which deals with the question of disposal of nuclear waste from repalcement build;
  • Analyse and bring in the changes needed in the planning and regulation regime which to enable speedy decision-making and construction".[10]

"Belief in the cause"

One question people ask is whether PR consultants are neutral on issues like nuclear power and just provide professional advice. One email from Weber to BNFL from September 2004 gives an answer. It said: "As you know, you have a group of people over here who believe in this cause - we would love to do this work, and already feel excited about it".[11]

Using climate change to sell nuclear

One of the main PR strategies of the nuclear lobby has been to use the issue of climate change to push for a resumption in nuclear. The argument they put forward is that nuclear is a low emitter of greenhouse gases and should therefore be used as a key policy option to fight climate change. Part of Weber / BNFL's strategy has been to position nuclear as clean, safe, secure and climate-friendly (see also BNFL).

For example, in December 2004, Weber wrote a document “The Case for Nuclear Energy”, which reiterated the major themes that the nuclear industry is using to push for a revival – climate change and energy security. According to the document, nuclear's main selling points are:

• Nuclear energy can be competitive with gas, and may in the future be the cheapest form of electricity; • Nuclear power is essential in combating CO2 emissions; • Nuclear power offers substantial security of supply benefits; • Nuclear plants can be built to time and cost; • Nuclear waste issues should not be a barrier to building new stations; • The track record of safety and security in the nuclear industry is excellent; • The nuclear industry plays a key role in the UK economy; • The need for Government action to keep the nuclear option open is increasingly urgent; • Action needed now by Government.[12]

But what about those who deny climate change? They could, by default, undermine the case for nuclear: In September 2004 a letter appeared in The Times signed by Lord Lawson, and known climate sceptics Wilfred Beckerman as well as Julian Morris from the International Policy Network, among others that attacked the need for action on climate: It said:

"Sir, Both the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition made major speeches last week on climate change and the policies that are supposedly required to deal with it (reports, September 14 and 15). It appears that, in this area, Tony Blair and Michael Howard are of one mind. They hold the same alarmist view of the world, and call for much the same radical -and costly programme of action ... There are no solid grounds for assuming, as Messrs Blair and Howard do, that global warming demands immediate and far-reaching action".

On reading this, Weber Shandwick emailed BNFL:

"Times letter today from Nigel Lawson and others which seems to be pooh-poohing climate change - anyone know anything about where this lot have popped up from?"... "Any intellgence (sic) gratefully received before we set to work here at WS end trying to find out what's going on..."[13]

Using third parties to push nuclear

Philip Dewhurst of the Nuclear Industry Association, and former CEO of Weber Shandwick, told PR Week in 2006 that BNFL was spreading its messages "via third-party opinion because the public would be suspicious if we started ramming pro-nuclear messages down their throats"[14] In the summer of 2005, the NIA and BNFL had approached key academics and independent researchers to attend a media training workshop, along with staff from BNFL and NIA, to be run by Weber Shandwick. Although a date for July and August was proposed for the training, the NIA's chief executive, Keith Parker, said in an email: "If, as we expect, the energy review is announced before parliamentary recess in July, we need to be well prepared to hit the airwaves confidently."[15]

Good news in Labour's 2005 manifesto

When Labour's 2005 manifesto was published, the spin doctors were quick to pick up on the following paragraph:

"We have a major programmme to promote renewable energy, as part of a strategy of having a mix of energy sources from nuclear power stations to clean coal to micro generators."

Weber Shandwick sent a note to BNFL:

" To me, at least, this is a step towards a declared pro-nuclear position".

BNFL replied:

"Wow...good news indeed".[16]

Lobbying in Scotland

In a report in lobbying in Scotland, Holyrood Exposed: A Guide to Lobbying in Scotland, international lobbying giant Weber Shandwick is revealed to have substantial lobbying connections in Edinburgh, not least through it's co-option of Holyrood insider Luke Skipper, former chief of staff to the SNP in Westminster and man heavily involved in the electoral landslide of 2015. [17]

As the firm's chief lobbyist Jon McLeod bluntly put it, 'There are going to be winners and losers'[18] following the tremors of the 2015 general election. Weber Shandwick hope to help their clients, such as Artisan Real Estate, a firm involved in a controversial development which has seen Edinburgh's Old City partially demolished, to be firmly on the winning side.

Lobbyists in the Edinburgh office include:

Lobbying for corporate education reformers

Weber Shandwick has a specialist education practice.

In the US, Weber Shandwick says its education practice is 'well-versed in assisting higher educational institutions as they forge their reputations and develop their thought leadership'.[19] It says it has 'deep relationships with both the education and mainstream media'.

In the UK, Weber Shandwick's education industry lobbying clients include:

Lobbying the curriculum

In 2011 Weber Shandwick created the 'We Believe in D&T' lobbying campaign on behalf of the UK's Design and Technology Association (members include Pearson[20]). The campaign focused on forming a coalition of parliamentarians, opinion leaders, policymakers and using endorsements from the business community to petition the Department for Education to retain Design and Technology (DT) as a statutory subject within the National Curriculum. It succeeded.

Education reformers on staff

In April 2015 Weber Shandwick's lobbying practice in the UK hired David Skelton, the 'influential Conservative thinker and consultant to blue chip companies'. Skelton has written about the need to accelerate market reforms in education in order ' to transform the life chances of the poorest'.[21] He is also 'fascinated' by how technology is transforming politics, communications and business.[22] After standing as a Tory party candidate, Skelton spent 6 years at PA Consulting; before becoming Deputy Director and Head of Research at Policy Exchange between 2011 and 2013; and then founding Renewal, which campaigns to broaden the Conservative Party’s appeal to working-class voters.

Smoothing over human rights abuses?

In November 2006, The Independent reported how political comedian Mark Thomas had criticised Weber Shandwick for accepting work with the Colombian government, whose human rights record is appalling. For example, some 460 trade unionists have been killed in the country since 2003. “Colombia is the most dangerous place in the world to be a trade unionist,” said Thomas. “The government is found wanting. So for someone to come along and say, ‘We'll show you how to do good PR’ is disgraceful. Where will people draw the line? Would Weber Shandwick want to see the swastikas before deciding not to work with someone?”[23]

Pro-whaling

During the July 2000 meeting of the International Whaling Commission in Australia, Shandwick undertook a high-profile PR campaign for the Japanese Whaling Association including newspaper adverts in local media entitled "Whaling the facts," which claimed that "all whales aren't endangered”. They also distributed a leaflet that claimed that whale meat is to Japanese what meat pies are to Australians. “Don't interfere in our culture and we won't interfere in yours”, it said.[24][25]

Pro-logging

Shandwick led a multi-million-dollar PR campaign to “neutralize” environmentalists opposed to rainforest logging in New Zealand. Leaked documents showed that a central part of the PR strategy was to stigmatise their opponents as “extremists”, who had “limited” support and who spread “misinformation”. Shandwick allegedly also spied on their green critics and infiltrated opposition groups.[26]

Working for Big Oil

The company has worked for Shell for a number of years, including countering criticism over its role in Nigeria at the time of the execution of writer Ken Saro-Wiwa.[27] In 2004 Weber Shandwick was said to be “handling the 'greening” of ExxonMobil by promoting an alliance forged between the energy giant and Earth 911, a government/private sector entity with the motto of 'making every day Earth Day'".[28]

Promoting the City's interests

In April 2009, Weber Shandwick UK was hired by International Financial Services London, now known as TheCityUK to promote the interests of the financial services sector in the City of London, for example on "key issues such as keeping markets open in the [then] current global crisis".[29] IFSL's press release announced that the account would be supported by Priti Patel, then "Director, Weber Shandwick Public Affairs" who will "provide additional counsel". Patel is now a Conservative MP. The then CEO of IFSL said: "Bringing the team at Weber Shandwick on board will help us establish IFSL's voice in the public debate on how financial services companies can best navigate the currently troubled economic waters." (Note the link to the IFSL press release is broken; Weber Shandwick's press release was changed in the run up to the 2010 general election, with Priti Patel's name removed. Patel's election campaign focused on her support for small business. According to her campaign website: “Her career outside of politics means she has an innate understanding about the issues faced by small businesses”).

Fracking clients

Weber Shandwick represents Tamboran Resources and until late 2015, the Canadian firm Rathlin Energy which is testing for shale gas in East Yorkshire.

In July 2013 Weber Shandwick London hosted a special 'fracking event'entitled, "Community concern or consent?". [30]
