Dow Says Olympic Sponsorship Opposition ‘Beyond Belief’

Dow Chemical Co. Chief Executive Officer Andrew Liveris said opposition to his company’s sponsorship of the 2012 London Olympics is “beyond belief” because Dow wasn’t involved with the 1984 toxic gas leak in Bhopal that killed thousands of people.
“It was not us,” Liveris said in a Feb. 28 interview at Bloomberg’s headquarters in New York. “The fact that you can speak back with science and fact rather than emotion and hysteria is your only defense.”
