Sustainability Consortium clarifies goals, Walmart relationship

The Sustainability Consortium, launched last August, clarified its mission and strategies, while debunking the misconception that it is working on a “sustainability index” for Walmart, during a 90-minute Webcast, “Inside the Sustainability Consortium,” presented by GreenBiz.com in early December.

Consortium co-chairs, Dr. Jay S. Golden of the School of Sustainability, Barrett Honors Faculty, at Arizona State University, and Dr. Jon Johnson of the Sam M. Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas, were the event’s guest speakers.

During the Webcast, Dr. Golden confirmed that while Walmart was a founding partner of the consortium, the group does not have an index governing board. What the consortium does have is a steering committee made up of CPGs, NGOs, government agencies, and others interested in “advocating for good business.”
