December 2004

Business 2.0—"Tom's of Mainestream"—p. 72
B2.0 ran a feature article about Tom's of Maine highlighting how our ideals help with our results, "...The crunchy manufacturer of all-natural toothpaste has mastered the art of balancing its idealistic values with the realities of mass-market retailing."

November 2004

Paddler—"River Hygiene"—p. 40
In their Eco column, Paddler features Tom's in a piece about river conservation and talks about our Rivers Awareness Program, which draws attention to our nation's troubled rivers and encourages people to volunteer for rivers in their community. "Thanks to the coupon drive Tom's helped raise $600,000, $70k went to Rivers Awareness and $500,000 went to the Nature Conservancy."

VegNews—"The Veggie Awards 2004"—p. 31
"The overwhelming selection for three years running, Tom's of Maine is the most popular toothpaste among VegNews readers. Tom's introduced the first natural toothpaste to the market almost 30 years ago and offers a variety of flavors in recyclable containers. The company doesn't test on animals or use animal ingredients, and it contributes 10% of its pretax profits to environmental, education, and arts charities."

June 2004

Fortune Small Business—"Drinks with Tom Chappell: Go West, Old Hippie—the founder of Tom's of Maine sees a golden opportunity in the remaining 49 states"

March 2004

Mainebiz"Natural Values" (PDF)
"New manufacturing facilities in Sanford are just the start of a bold new expansion plan for Tom's of Maine—the company's values are actually driving its growth..." Taking that commitment to corporate values even further, the ultimate goal of the growth strategy itself, says company COO Tom O'Brien, is to enlist more retailers, suppliers and customers in Tom's of Maine's own quest to promulgate personal health and wellness awareness, foster community development, and champion environmental and social causes—in other words, to use the company's increasing market clout to change the world."
