Shell scandal in Nigeria’s Ogoniland
In 2011 the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) released a report documenting the devastating impact of the oil industry in Ogoniland, and set out urgent recommendations for clean-up. Shell is one of the major sources of pollution.
In the report, you should address the following questions:
What is the ethical issue faced by the company?
What are the consequences of the ethical issue?
How did the company respond to the ethical issue?
Do you think they handled well at that time?
What are the major lessons the company should learn to avoid similar problems in the future?
Your report should provide a PESTLE analysis of Shell’s home country (the Netherlands) and the host country (Nigeria).
Also, you need to provide an overview of the organizational culture of Shell (headquarter culture: the Netherlands).
Shell is a British-Dutch multinational oil and gas company headquartered in The Hague, Netherlands, and incorporated in the United Kingdom as a public limited company. For this assessment, we only analyze the home country and culture in the Netherlands.
