Case Study
Q4. You are the independent director of a leading automobile manufacturing corporate company. The government has come out with National Policy on Clean Energy. Accordingly, the policy states that as part of Corporate Social Responsibility and environmental ethics, it has mandated every company to shift directly from BS-IV to BS-VI emission standards.
Despite repeated lobbying, the automobile manufacturers have not been successful in convincing the government that such drastic shift could increase production cost and affect profitability or reduce consumer demand.
In this context, the Board of Directors of your company have arranged an emergency meeting to chalk out a strategy. As independent director of the company you have been invited. The board has discussed multiple options but finally came to a conclusion that if consumer demand or profitability is to be maintained the quality of automobiles should be compromised. This could affect product longevity or safety.
You have been requested unanimously by the board to agree for this. Since, your company is making losses for many quarters, unless this is done, the company could undergo bankruptcy and cost everyone’s employment.
