Abstract
The 1984 Bhopal Gas disaster involved a catastrophic failure at Union Carbide Corporation (UCC), pesticide manufacturing plant at Bhopal, India. Over 15,000 people died, and 500,000 injured in the accident. The disaster occurred due to lack of safety measures and inferior technology at the plant. The aftermath of the disaster was improperly handled by the management of UCC as well as Dow Chemical after its takeover. Indian government officials also failed to provide adequate compensation and relief and rehabilitation to the victims. It had been the source of ongoing legal battles in both India and the U.S. Dow being financially sound could have dealt the case on much humanitarian ground but it denied to take any liability and responsibility of the disaster. This case study narrates the management and governmental failures towards the victim and asks for proper CSR approach towards them.
