<世界之窗本周文章> 閱讀暖身 閱讀本文之前，請先想想以下幾個詞彙： Masataka Shimizu, head of the Tokyo Electric Power Co., known as Tepco, largely disappeared from public view after the devastating March 11 earthquake and tsunami set off the worst radiation release since Chernobyl. Subsequently, reports surfaced that senior Tepco engineers had known for years that five of the company’s ten nuclear reactors in Fukushima prefecture had a dangerous design flaw. But the company failed to make upgrades, dooming the reactors to a series of meltdowns and explosions when the 45-foot tsunami hit. Shimizu resigned in May. 東京電力公司的清水正孝可說是去年最糟糕的CEO，他在311海嘯之後鮮少露面的不負責態度，飽受各界批評。此外，相關報告更顯示，東京電力的資深工程師在許多年前就已知福島的核能反應爐有設計瑕疵，但東京電力卻遲遲不願進行修復，造成這場自車諾比事件以來最嚴重的核能危機。 William Weldon, the CEO of Johnson & Johnson, is also on the list. International consumer and environmental groups have been pressing J&J to remove two potentially cancer-causing chemicals from baby products, including Johnson’s Baby Shampoo. Though the chemicals have been eliminated from products in several other countries, including the U.K and South Africa, J&J has yet to alter its baby products in the U.S. 嬌生公司的總裁William Weldon也是榜上有名。嬌生旗下所生產的兩款嬰兒用品內含可能治癌物質，儘管嬌生已將其化學物質自英國與南非等國移除，但美國國內至今都尚未完全處理完畢。
