Sustainability Consortium clarifies goals, Walmart relationship

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 β€œadvocating for good business.”
