...Shell...is trying to find ways out of its multiple Nigeria quandaries...Settling the situation in Ogoniland is a priority....To get actionable data, companies often contract experts to conduct external assessments of problems or performance aspects...act[ing] on the principle that their credibility and sustained business success depend wholly on their independence, integrity, professional care and objectivity...The last thing a decent company wants – and Shell, in my view, is a decent company – is a review that glosses over issues...Just as it is unrealistic, cynical and frankly naïve to believe that Shell would seek a skewed UN report, it is unimaginable that UNEP would agree to falsify data...[Also refers to SPDC]
