Criticism of Dow Chemical sponsorship
Organizations representing Bhopal victims and environmental activists criticized Dow Chemical's sponsorship of the Run for Water. They argued that the company's association with a water and environmental campaign was inconsistent with controversies involving Union Carbide, the Bhopal cleanup, alleged pollution incidents, and disputed water-filtration projects. Critics also questioned whether sponsorship funds primarily supported nonprofit beneficiaries or commercial service providers.
