Bhopal
India's 1984 tragedy
Bhopal is the capital city of Madhya Pradesh in central India.
The name often evokes the 1984 industrial disaster when a pesticide plant leaked toxic gas, killing thousands and injuring hundreds of thousands more—one of history's worst industrial accidents.
The Bhopal disaster changed how we think about corporate responsibility.
