Unilever Refuses To Clean Up Former Thermometer Factory In India, Activists Say

May 5, 2016: 12:00 AM EST
For 15 years, Unilever has refused to clean up the toxic remains of a former thermometer factory owned by its Indian subsidiary Hindustan Unilever in Kodaikanal, South India, according to activists. When the factory operated from 1983 to 2001, workers were exposed to mercury and its toxic effects. Because some mercury were not disposed of properly, the site remains dangerous. Unilever agreed to provide compensation to former workers, after facing an international campaign.
