2. Protecting data privacy is urgent and complex. This protection is necessary because of
the all-pervasive, technology-driven and information-intensive environment, typical of
today’s corporations. Multiple risks involved in data management is propelling
information/data protection to the top of the corporate management agenda. What according
to you are the two ethical risks faced by the business in relation to data

3. In Chandrapur, renamed the coal city, Western Coalfield Ltd’s (WCL), a public sector
coal mining company’s, overburden dumps are located very close to the river beds. The
Mana and Lalpeth mines, especially, have dumped so much over-burden in the Irai river that
the river-bed has risen by several meters. Coal mining so close to rivers may also cause
damage to the mines themselves. During heavy rains river water enters the mines even now,
making coal extraction very difficult. The move to allow coal mining activities up to 250
meter from river banks has angered environment groups, especially in Vidarbha, an
area currently reeling under floods, and where major rivers like Wardha and Irai are already
heavily polluted because of coal mining. If the mines are moved closer, such incidents will
rise, posing danger to mine workers. WCL will also incur losses. Mining has also adversely
impacted river fauna. The forest land is turning into a desert and the wild life, specially tigers
are disappearing. Somehow we have failed to intelligently sustain and manage the resources
of nature, the primary source of all supply chain.
