Getting Ready for the Sustainability Index



Dear Guy,

Walmart has introduced a bold new initiative to assess companies and products along its supply chain. The Index asks 15 key questions, and its depth and complexity has immediately become a subject of debate. It also holds the potential to redefine the meaning of 'sustainability', reflecting the view of the world's largest retailer, Walmart, in partnership with academics, NGOs, industry groups, and other retailers.

Are you ready to comply?
On September 24th, join Walmart and a panel of experts on business law and environmental management to learn the essentials of the Sustainability Index. In this fast-paced and informative 90-minute session you'll gain valuable insights that will help your firm:

  • Understand the details of the Index and its ramifications for your company - Walmart supplier or otherwise. Presenting and discussing will be Rand Waddoups, Walmart's Senior Director for Sustainability
  • Explore legal issues associated with the Index, and how they impact you. You'll hear from Christopher Carr of the global law firm Morrison & Foerster
  • Create a plan for stepping up to the expectations set by the index with Tim Mohin of the environmental management consultancy EORM.

In addition to the knowledge gained from this important event, attendees will also receive free access to the Readiness-Self Assessment Tool, a survey based on the Sustainability Index - a $200 value. This powerful application, developed by EORM, allows companies to optimize the actions they can take to improve their overall scores, then develop a prioritized action plan.*

This must-attend event has already generated tremendous interest, and may sell out. Moderated by GreenBiz.com Executive Editor, Joel Makower, the 90-minute webinar will include Q&A opportunity for all three panelists.

The Sustainability Index is set to have a far-reaching impact in the management of supply chains. Whether you're a Walmart supplier, or a professional involved in supply chain management and sustainability, you can't afford to miss this important event. Registration per attendee is $99.
