Through its Campaign for Cleaner Corporations, known as C3, C.EPP. has set up a dialogue with the country's largest polluters. The goal of C3 is, through unfavorable publicity generated by the list, to compel the filthiest companies in the filthiest industries to improve their environmental and worker safety records. The companies named on the 1994 list of environmental scofflaws are Exxon, International Paper, MAXXAM, Southern Company, Texaco, Union Carbide, Westinghouse and Westvacy. Exxon, International Paper and Texaco. INSET: Toxic corporations.
