Introduction
Walmart began to embrace environmental issues more fully in 2005, when it found itself an early responder, providing supplies and donated goods, and coordinating relief efforts, immediately after Hurricane Katrina. The company decided to consider the long-term implications of the storm, and become a “positive, difference-making company every day.” Programs were started to cut emissions and waste, and sell more sustainable merchandise.
THESIS
THESIS is used by Walmart and a number of other retailers to measure the sustainability progress of all their suppliers. It is a science-based performance management system for companies to understand and solve the most important sustainability issues across 90% of consumer goods supply chains. The scores Advantus receives are measures of actions taken to address sustainability hotspots. Walmart puts importance on Advantus’s progress over time and how Advantus performs compared to peers is both more important than the score.
