Case HBS Case Collection October 2013 (Revised May 2016) Ilva Steel Taranto: Providing and Polluting (A) |
Nearly 27,000 people depended on Ilva Steel Taranto, the largest steel-making plant in Europe, for their livelihoods, but the plant's pollution fouled the environment and increased the incidence of tumors, respiratory illnesses, and deaths. In July 2012, faced with a court-ordered partial shutdown and a possibly unaffordable remediation plan, the company's newly appointed head must decide what to do next.
