I wish I new of more gems like this. Company sites that go into detail where they went wrong and how they turned things around make for both amazing reading and great educational material.

    With all respect, I just downvoted you because you're becoming recognizable. Your account is scarcely a year old with almost no karma, and checking your profile right now, the first page of comments is all but one you posting a link to your own app. You gotta slow down. This is a discussion board, not a growth hacking mixer. Plenty of people become known for popular products and companies they're associated with, but it can't be all you ever talk about. The world at large isn't a sales conference and doesn't find that interesting.

Malcolm Walker, the founder and his son Richard Walker the current chairman are (for such an ordinary seeming supermarket) surprisingly progressive and have often spearheaded sustainability and corporate responsibility campaigns. Malcolm Walker was an active member of Greenpeace and Iceland worked with Greenpeace on several campaigns over the years.

  Richard Walker tried to become a Conservative MP, but when no constituency party selected him as their candidate defected to Labour, who put him in the House of Lords.

    > Mr Walker had been asked to explain why Iceland burgers passed British tests for equine DNA but failed the Irish tests. > He replied: "Well, that's the Irish, isn't it?" so his big bad mistake was to make a remark about how the Irish are more picky than the Great Brits about having horse meat in their burgers?
