What is a common criticism of Exxon's actions after the 1989 Valdez disaster?

A common criticism of Exxon's actions following the 1989 Valdez oil spill is that the company initially downplayed the environmental impact and failed to take responsibility for the disaster.

Additionally, there were concerns about the company's focus on minimizing financial liability rather than prioritizing environmental restoration and community support.
