Thompson was a champion not only for environmental causes, but also for making education available to all.
In 1989, the company began a literacy initiative, "People Who Read Achieve", which continues to raise funds for organizations that sponsor reading programs"
"CEOs are the world's unelected leaders.
We are given positions of power that are conducive to leaders of a small country.
