People feel good about giving money to Greenpeace.

I think it's great that we have organisations like Greenpeace. In a pluralistic society, we want to have people who point out all the problems that the Earth could encounter. But we need to understand that they are not presenting a full and rounded view.

My grandmother was a Greenpeace supporter. We've always done that sort of thing; we've always believed in helping others - it's part of our ethos.

I think I was the first executive to ever speak at a Greenpeace business conference, in London in 2001. That didn't play well here at Ford, but I thought it was an important signal to send internally, that these were the kind of issues we needed to be grappling with.

Also a portion of my sales go directly to Greenpeace.

I've been a supporter of green initiatives for years. I've been paying more and more attention to it, you know, with three kids. I thought it was tragic when the Kyoto Protocol was killed by the U.S. It was sort of a call to action.

There are quite a few disgruntled Greenpeacers who are opposed to its policy of non-cooperation.

All the great organizations in the world, all have a sense of why that organization does what it does.

I support many organizations that I feel are doing the right thing, like Alonzo Mourning's foundation, Alicia Keys' foundation, the Make-a-Wish Foundation, and other well-established foundations. I kick out a lot of time and money wherever I can.

Great companies in the way they work, start with great leaders.
