Sid Lecture: CEO Dick Benschop on Shell in Nigeria

In addition to governments, individuals and organisations, the business community also has an important role to play in supporting and respecting human rights. Companies that operate on a global basis are confronted with very different cultural contexts and human rights situations. How much leverage do transnational companies have regarding human rights at site level, within local communities and at country level? How can they have a positive impact on human rights and avoid negative impact or even abuse? Dick Benschop, CEO of Shell Nederland will discuss these and other questions using the example of Shell in Nigeria.
