Shell is one of the world's largest conglomerates and through the years, the company has been the NGOs' favourite scapegoat. The commotion relating to the oil platform Brent Spar and the accusations against Shell concerning oil extraction in the Niger Delta, have made the company realize that corporate social responsibility is a vital part of business and Shell's reputation around the world.

Shell sees the cooperation with WELL as an opportunity for the company to add new input to the work with CSR and as an opportunity to strengthen the tie between students and business. WELLcontest is a unique possibility for students to test and develop competencies and to prepare them to meet the demands from companies in the future.

The case competitors have 48 hours to solve the case, which is developed by WELL, Shell and Kai Hockerts, associate professor, CBS.

On Friday 28 April at CBS, the teams will present their solutions to the case. Afterwards, a jury will single out the winning team. Come watch the presentations, it's free and open for all. It takes place at Solbjerg Plads, SPs10, from 10-12 AM. At 1 PM, the winner is announced.
