Spend Matters recently highlighted Walmart’s ongoing sustainability efforts as an important step for retailers who want to please a green-conscious public:

“To help these efforts along, the retail giant has created a Sustainability Hub website that provides a forum for suppliers to spotlight successes achieved through operational efficiencies. Walmart’s supply chain leaders contend that sustainability is crucial for future growth as consumers become even more demanding in terms of purchasing products that have the least environmental impact possible.”
