* The ultimate insider s view of corporate responsibility and
ethics from the boardrooms of some of the world s largest
corporations* New ideas on how to seek collaborative solutions to
the market failures of climate change and corruption* How Shell
dealt with the Brent Spar and Ken Saro-Wiwa controversies and what
they learnt* A manifesto for responsible leadership* Dilemmas and
lessons from the front line of corporate responsibilityAs Chairman
of the Royal Dutch Shell Group from 1991 2001 and of Anglo American
plc from 2002 2009, Sir Mark Moody-Stuart is as qualified as anyone
on the planet to discuss the realities, dilemmas and lessons to be
learned from the last 20 years of corporate engagement with
sustainability, ethics and responsibility. In this unique book part
memoir, part confessional, part manifesto for leadership we hear a
unique voice from the front line of corporate responsibility.
Moody-Stuart retraces the steps of a remarkable journey from being
a postgraduate geologist to being at the helm of two of the largest
corporations in the world.We hear of dealings with dictators and
prime ministers, colleagues and NGOs, rivals and friends. We travel
from Syria to Nigeria; Iraq to Downing Street; and from the
machinations of the United Nations to those inside the boardroom of
Shell. We see Shell s "annus horribilis" in 1995 unfold through the
eyes of an insider, and how Brent Spar and the execution of Ken
Saro-Wiwa sent shockwaves through the company, resulting in a
complete reappraisal of its mission and principles. We hear about
the oil and mining sectors and their complicated development role
in areas of conflict and corruption; the way that markets have
failed us on climate change and corruption; and how governments
need to step up to the global challenges we face. We hear how the
Deep Water Horizon could have been avoided; what Shell were asked
to do by Tony Blair during the UK fuel blockades of 2000 and why
they declined; why China is too important to ignore; and why the
Global Compact is too important to fail. We hear lessons from a
life spent living in 10 different countries and we come to realize
that, for corporations, trying to do the right thing can sometimes
be almost impossible. We also come to know a deeply ethical and
thoughtful leader."
