Sustainability Index webinar moderated by Joel Makower,
VIA email from Pete May & Joel
On July 16th, Walmart launched a bold new initiative to assess companies and products along its supply chain. The Index asks 15 key questions, (set of 15 questions Walmart is asking can be download here - PDF.) and its depth and complexity has immediately become a subject of debate.
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.
Are you ready to comply?
Join Walmart and a panel of experts on business law and environmental management to discuss the Sustainability Index and answer your questions.
- 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 presentation and discussion, attendees will also receive free access to the Readiness-Self Assessment Tool, a survey based on the Sustainability Index developed by EORM - a $200 value. This powerful application allows companies to optimize the actions they can to take to improve their overall scores, then develop a prioritized action plan.
