Surprise Sustainability Index

Much to my surprise, the for so long evil conglomerate of Wal-Mart is taking a bold move and developing a sustainability index. How in depth is this index you ask, and just how relevant will it be....we all want to know. What I do know is that Wal-Mart, being one of the largest retailers in the world, has an incredible opportunity (not to mention responsibility) to influence the retail sector all the way through the supply chain.

This is a HUGE step in the right direction, let's just hope they get it right. I am not about to start shopping at Wal-Mart just yet, but the future is hopeful....
