UNION CARBIDE
THE COMPANY WHICH FAILED IN IT’S (CORPORATE SOCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY)
COMPANY IN BRIEF
• Union Carbide Corporation (Union Carbide) is one of the largest chemical and polymer companies in the united states
• Founded in 1917 and currently employing over 3800 employees• Union carbide entered India under the banner UCIL ( Union carbide India limited)• The UCIL factory was built in 1969 to produce the pesticide carbaryl (trademark
Sevin). A methyl isocyanate (MIC) production plant was added in 1979
Continued..• Union Carbide became infamous for the worst ever industrial disaster that took
place at its plant in Bhopal (India) in 1984• Company was found liable for the disaster but had denied responsibility for the
incident• After being sued by the Government of India, Union Carbide agreed to an out-of-
court settlement of US$470 million in 1989• Several issues over the incident are yet to be settled
******
Why company failed
The company failed in its corporate social responsibility because a gas leakage happened at company's plant , led thousands of death and still have a impact on
people of Bhopal.
Causes of leakage:– Storing MIC in large tanks– Poor maintenance after the plant ceased MIC production at the end of 1984– Failure of several safety systems (due to poor maintenance)– Safety systems being switched off to save money—including the MIC tank
refrigeration system which could have mitigated the disaster severity
– Plant location close to a densely populated area
Effect of leakage became a disaster
Thousands of people
died
Factory immediately shut down
Although it has been 25 years since the disaster, approximately 10-30 people continue to die every month in Bhopal from toxic exposure and another 150,000 people continue to suffer long term health consequences from the disaster
Impact on company
• Company’s name became a shame• Lost its market and goodwill • Had incurred a huge amount to settle the case ( $470 million )• Later it was taken over by MacLeod Russell (India) Limited of Calcutta, and UCIL
was renamed Eveready Industries India Limited (Eveready Industries).
BEING GOOD IS GOOD FOR BUSINESS.
• It improves the firm’s image.• It is necessary to in order to avoid excessive regulations.• It can increase employee motivation.• It helps to correct social problems caused by the business.• It aids the attraction and retention of staff.• It attracts green and ethical investment.• It attracts ethically conscious customers.• It can lead to a reduction in costs through re-cycling.• It differentiates the company from its competitor and can be a
source of competitive advantage.• It can lead to increased profitability in the long run.
Everything has a downside

with a company that is socially responsible.
