Question

Study the following case/situation and express your opinion:

An organisation manufacturing paints has been enjoying a prominent market position since many years. It has been dumping its untreated poisonous waste on the river bank, which has created many health problems for the nearby villages:

1. Which responsibility is neglected by manufacturing organisations?
2. What kind of pollution are they are doing?
3. State any one precautionary measure they need to take.

Answer 1

1. The organisation has neglected its social and environmental responsibility. Businesses must ensure that their production processes do not harm society or the environment. Proper waste management and sustainable practices should be followed.
2. The organisation is causing water pollution by dumping untreated poisonous waste on the riverbank. This contaminates the water, making it unsafe for drinking, harming aquatic life, and affecting the health of nearby villagers.
3. The company should install a waste treatment plant to properly treat and dispose of hazardous waste before releasing it into the environment. This will help reduce pollution and protect public health.
