Corporate Initiatives

Wal-Mart

Wal-Mart are changing their business model to incorporate a number of sustainable projects and practices. The first of these to affect all Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club suppliers in the USA is the ‘Wal-Mart Packaging Sustainability Scorecard‘, which aims to reduce packaging weights by at least 5% and Eliminate Use of Materials Harmful to Human Health and the Environment.

 

The Scorecard system requires that a detailed submission of all product packaging, which can often only be obtained from suppliers, be submitted to Wal-Mart before the products are sold to consumers.
