Oily story of Shell and Nigerian farmers


A court in the Hague last week ruled that Shell Nigeria was only responsible for one out of five alleged oil spills. The farmers were very disappointed. But Shell carried the day mainly because it demonstrated the preventive or curative measures it took after the spills occurred.

This takes me to the issue of mitigating risks. Brief thought on this story. What measures are your businesses taking to minimize risks in the short-term and long-term?
See how story was reported by the New York times.
