processed chemical for use in fertilizers. Soon Vikram learned that the nearby residential landfill
was being used to dump toxic wastes. It appeared that some members of management team were
aware of this situation and may have been involved in arranging for this dumping. uncertain, how
he should approach, Vikram is contemplating several alternatives courses of action , like seeking
the advice of the superior, the controller or anonymously releasing the information in the national
daily or discussing with an outside member of the BOD‟s
Questions:
1. Discuss why Vikram has an ethical responsibility to take some action against the MNC.
