Time to change the face of business
1 October 2005

In Nigeria Shell continues to burn off waste gas from its oil extraction activities. Gas flaring has been illegal for years. But Shell still does it 24 hours a day, risking people's health and contributing to climate change.

Across the world businesses like Shell ignore awkward questions about people and the environment. This is because their priority is to make a profit. And they only need to answer to their shareholders.
