Was it Dow that caused Bhopal?

Who is "Boston Common Asset Management"?

Here are a few facts.

Dow bought Union Carbide after the disaster. "When UCC became a subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company in February 2001, the civil litigation in India had been resolved for a decade. However, Dow has listened to the concerns of local and international organizations representing the Bhopal community and other advisory groups. We respect the different opinions and viewpoints expressed in this dialogue. Dow continues to make a genuine effort to identify an appropriate humanitarian contribution in India consistent with our philanthropic commitment around the world in countries where Dow or its subsidiaries operate." --Dow

The failure investigation was delayed in other ways, until a US court order forced the Indian government to release the records and remove the padlocks.

By the time the padlocks were off, the witnesses had mostly relocated, often in search of new jobs.

Witnesses who had been tracked down, as much as a year or more after the fact, sometimes gave conflicting testimony.
