Introduction:Changes that occur in the business environment from time to time demand that corporations the world over undertake constant assessment and management of the risks that they face.

Royal Dutch Shell (Shell), one of the largest oil and gas companies, faced different risks such as capital market risk, market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, country risk, environmental risk, and political risk due to the nature of the industry, size of the business, and changing business environment.

The company put in place a robust system for effective risk management. At Shell, identification, evaluation, and management of risks by its board were ongoing processes that took place throughout the year.

Experts say that eliminating risk is next to impossible. Therefore, risk managers need to focus on minimization of risk rather than trying to eliminate it completely.
