Issues

An issue can be defined as a topic of interest or concern for any stakeholder relating to a company's activities. As a global group of companies we have a responsibility to be a good corporate citizen: to listen and respond to all points of view. In this section we aim to explain our position on these issues.

	Security in Nigeria Since 2005 the security situation in the Niger Delta has deteriorated. Dialogue to resolve the underlying problems is the answer in such situations.

	Gas Flaring Gas produced as a by-product of the process of oil production is referred to as associated gas and is being burnt safely – a process called flaring.

	Remediation Issues in the Niger Delta We operate in a way that reduces as far as possible the environmental impact of our activities. Where oil spills occur despite the prevention systems in place, we clean up as quickly as possible and remediate the land.

	The Ogoni issue SPDC stopped oil production in Ogoni land 1993 after violence against our staff and facilities. SPDC supports the government-initiated reconciliation process in Ogoni land.

	Ken Saro-Wiwa The 1995 executions of Ogoni leader Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight Ogonis by Nigeria’s military government attracted international condemnation.

	Human Rights Shell Companies in Nigeria operate the policy of respect for fundamental human rights and continue to improve relationships with host communities.
