Interne documenten tonen aan: Shell kende gebreken oliepijpleiding in Nigerdelta maar pakte die niet aan

Internal Shell documents reveal that the company deliberately continued to use a defective oil pipeline in the Niger Delta, leading to large-scale oil pollution in violation of its own code of conduct. These findings are detailed in a report based on Shell's own records, compiled by a coalition of eight non-governmental organizations.

The ongoing operation of the compromised pipeline highlights corporate accountability issues regarding environmental damage in the region. The revelations directly contradict Shell's internal conduct guidelines, demonstrating a failure to address known infrastructural flaws that resulted in significant ecological contamination.
