A leak toxins (MIC) at factory Bohpal pesticides in India can be seen as a typical example. The incident occurred nearly 30 years ago, affecting about 500,000 people, of which nearly 6,000 people died due to the chemical exposure. So far, about 25,000 people die from this serious incident. And yet, every third child born in Bohpal there is a dead or deformed children. Government of India has requested the production unit to $ 3.3 billion compensation for the affected people.
With Nicotex case, a company manufacturing and trading for many years to make pesticides must understand that , the operation lasted chemical landfill, hazardous waste illegally will impact how the environment, human health, and primarily affect their own workers. However, they still do, and it was revealed they deliberately conceal violations by all means. It is understandable, in addition to the dominant economic interests strongly, the underlying cause profound and perhaps lies in the sense of responsibility of the business, the more general issues of corporate ethics.
Laws tight and complete close to, if not ethical enterprise, the unit will still find ways to circumvent the law in order to gain illicit profits, despite doing so can cause harm to the environment and society. Responsibility for community and environment so come from business ethics, not only satisfy the requirements of the law.
Acts of illegal pesticide burial of Nicotex not only violate the law but also demonstrates insensitivity, irresponsibility with the community and the business itself, which would have a chemical manufacturer must understand and respect of all. Because in this business, "business ethics" is not a mere slogan but in fact is regarded as the guiding principles of the Organization for Social Responsibility of the chemical enterprise of the Association of Asian chemical manufacturer Pacific (APRO), of which Vietnam is a member.
Organization of social responsibility of enterprises mentioned chemical nature 6 normative commitments, including: business must be responsible to the community about supply chemical information and implement a plan to prevent emergency response risks from chemicals; to prevent and reduce emissions of pollutants into the environment; ensure the production process is always in safe conditions; ensure the safety and health of workers and the community; distribution of safe chemical products; ensuring risk control in the entire life cycle of chemical products.
The concern is Nicotex may just be one of those businesses that commit acts of moral degradation when placing profits above the public interest Dong. Therefore, in addition to tightening regulatory system through inspection, monitoring, also would be important to raise the awareness and capacity of the community and create more favorable conditions for people to be involved in the process monitoring environmental impacts. Because in this case, if there is no consensus and commitment from citizens plus pressure from public opinion, the irregularities of Nicotex likely will be hushed up as what people used to reflect Cam Thuy many years ago.
