“Global Best Practices 2010- Manage integrity risk”-
Shell and Society
Brent Spar
Location : North Sea
Brent Spar - obsolete and awaiting decommissioning.
Greenpeace UK reacted quickly and successfully to the situation and Shell backed down.
Shell and Greenpeace granted permission by the British government to dump Brent Spar in a deep water trench in
the North Sea.
Hundreds of similar oil installations exist, over 50 of which are due for decommissioning in the next
10 years!
Niger Delta
Location : North Sea
The Niger Delta produces 80% of the oil that comes from Nigeria. It is also the home to many
small minority ethnic groups, dependent on fishing and farming, who suffer the irreparable
damages of oil drilling on their lands
this environmental assault has smothered land with oil, killed masses of fish and other aquatic life, and introduced devastating acid rain to the
land of the Ogoni
For the Ogoni, a people dependent upon farming and fishing, the poisoning of the land and water
has had devastating economic and health consequences
Shell Blames Communities for 98 Percent Oil Spill!
Although Shell drills oil in 28 countries, 40% of its oil spills worldwide have occurred in the Niger Delta. In the Niger Delta, there were 2,976 oil
spills between 1976 and 199
Ken Saro Wiwa
protest by the Ogoni nation in Nigeria against Shell's operations
This resulted in Nigeria's suspension from the Commonwealth of Nations for over 3 years
Ken Saro-Wiwa and 8 others were tried and executed
Shell continues to operate in Nigeria!
South Africa
Apartheid
In violation of the United Nations sponsored international oil embargo against South Africa,
Shell has shipped large quantities of crude oil to South Africa.
Shell has pumped huge amounts of its capital into the petroleum refining and chemical industries in
South Africa.
Shell has supplied oil products to the South African military and police, well-known for their
brutality.
Shell South Africa pays its white employees while they serve in the South African military--The South
African government pays draftees a token wage which Shell supplements.
Shell exploits its black workforce in South Africa!
Forced Labor/ Human Trafficking
Brazil
Shell announced that it was putting $12 billion into a venture with Cosan, the leading company
in Brazil’s sugar cane ethanol industry
Cosan was blacklisted by the Labor Ministry in Brazil after severe labor rights abuses were
identified at one of the company’s suppliers.
Sugarcane from Brazil is often produced by forced labor.
Agro fuels have been criticized for many reasons –- negative environmental impacts, contributing
to hunger, grabbing land from communities!
The general conditions for workers in this sector often include low pay, long hours, minimal or no
attention to health and safety standards, exposure to toxic chemicals, and miserable living
conditions
Over the years, many workers in Brazil’s sugar industry have been removed from forced labor
conditions as well as situations of debt bondage.
