Criticism section to be added?

I am wondering if no one has added a "controversies" or "criticism" section? The company is the most polluting company in the world and also has an abyssal record when it comes to human rights violations. I don't think it should be more than a paragraph but it would be good to mention it. Even Coca Cola has a "criticism" section which links to another page where there is more on the topic. Very subjectively put, this is the most evil company on our planet, I think it would be good to have something measured and balanced about it (again without taking more than a paragraph). — Preceding unsigned comment added by ‎ 2607:f140:400:a017:9cfc:e5ef:5746:6dcb (talk) 21:34, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

In 2006, User:Jimbo Wales weighed in on the question: "In many cases they [criticism sections] are necessary, and in many cases they are not necessary. And I agree with the view expressed by others that often, they are a symptom of bad writing. That is, it isn't that we should not include the criticisms, but that the information should be properly incorporated throughout the article rather than having a troll magnet section of random criticisms."

This article, which already includes plenty of criticism, already complies with that guidance. Dormskirk (talk) 23:31, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Lack of mention of Rosneft

Why is Rosneft mentioned in an external link in the "References" section of this article, but mentioned nowhere in the actual text of the current version of this article? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 02:18, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

• If you feel like Rosneft should be included, please be bold and add it to the article. That reference is being used to support Qatar Investment Authority being Glencore's biggest shareholder, which is worth including on its own. -M.nelson (talk) 10:44, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
