Wal-Mart has created an index of environmental impact that will be used to measure the social and environmental impact of the products it sells in its many stores.
It will be used to drive Wal-Mart's supply chain toward sustainable business practices by creating a measure to test its current and potential products against.
Wal-Mart has laid out the far-reaching goals of one day using only renewable energy and creating zero waste.
Walmart is the world's largest retailer, with enough purchasing power to force its suppliers to adopt standards or face the prospect of losing sales.
