Abstract
A large industrial company routed to achieve the environmental management certification (ISO 14001) got affected the process by the finding a Tree –about to collapse– in a community park adjacent to its facilities. The study of the situation determines the presence of two transformers, stored in the firm maintenance area. An examination of its level of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) shows that 13 gallons have been leaked, contaminating soil and likely to have reached the sewer system of the city. The community is alarmed, the media involved and the company must make improvement plans imposed by the environmental authority. Due to the fact, changes occur within the company and the level of development, new projects and expansion plans abroad are suspended.
