I'm not a fan, but Ineos aren't just a fracking company.
They've got fingers in just about every pie going, from nasty ones (oil refining, 4x4 manufacturing, dumping caustic soda in the Manchester Ship Canal) to nicer ones (they're big in products and services for the wind energy industry, generating sustainable energy from waste materials and hand sanitiser during/post-pandemic).
If you look at their product list on Wikipedia they make pretty much all of the chemicals essential to modern life:

Thanks for enlightening me. My genuine question though was if the lack of a shell logo was an actual protest or a sponsorship thing?

Sorry but their heavy and aggressive lobbying for something as horrible and damaging as fracking puts them in the same category of bad as Shell (not to mention the damage that type of lobbying does to public life, democracy etc)
Though i do agree with the latter part of your sentence :)

Ineos are an utter garbage company. Fracking, oil refinery, extraction petrochemicals with the addition of a total cunt (even by industry standards) in charge. OK they aren’t Shell, they don’t assassinate protestors, but it’s an environmental crime syndicate just the same.

Is that an actual protest, refusing to wear the shell brand? Maybe only by the ones that are paid their salary by a fracking company?
