ADANI CASE STUDY ANALYSIS1
Executive Summary
Adani Australia is one of the largest firms operating in the country of Australia and it has
acquired a lot of negative attention in recent times because of the unethical way that it has been
conducting its operations, especially with regard to its coal mining development project by virtue
of which it has antagonized sections of the country’s indigenous population. This report engages
in the analysis of a case study that highlights the unethical operations that have been undertaken
by Adani Australia against the Wangan and Jagalingou people with the matter being assessed
through the use of stakeholder theory, theory of customer shared value and the normative ethical
theory of deontology as well as utilitarianism.

ADANI CASE STUDY ANALYSIS3
Introduction
Adani Australia is a renowned infrastructure and energy company which is committed to
the delivery of energy solutions meant for promoting and developing an advanced world. It is
headed by Gautam Adani. The largest mining project in Australia is owned and undertaken by
the Adani Group. While the coal mining undertakings of Adani Australia are supported by the
government and while it is aimed at the development of Australian society and economy, many
of the activities that have been carried out by Adani Australia as part of this project are
controversial in nature, as is evident from reading the case study that has been provided (Smith
2017). What is particularly controversial about the work that is undertaken by Adani Australia is
the fact that it fails to incorporate matters diversity and inclusion well enough into its corporate
agenda. The company, has, as made clear from the given scenario, been antagonizing the
indigenous people of Australia by virtue of its coal mining activities and has not been living up
to the goals of corporate social responsibility, goals that feature on the agenda of every corporate
firm in Australia and not the Adani group alone (Gleeson 2018). This report analyzes in detail,
the case study which has been provided and answers a number of questions based on the case
study pertaining to diversity and inclusion, stakeholder interests, criticizes the activities of Adani
Australia using stakeholder theory and the creation of shared value and analyzes the decisions
and actions of the company using normative theories of ethics.
