FIGURE 10-2 The Live Better Index is Wal-Mart’s nationwide tracking tool to gauge how important
environmental responsibility is to its consumers.

Wal-Mart says that because PSPs don’t involve a large time commitment, monetary
investment, or a major life overhaul, it is a great way for associates to improve their health
and wellness, as well as the health of the planet.
Wal-Mart hopes to expand the program internationally.

For its supply chain, Wal-Mart partnered with the Carbon Disclosure Project to find out ways
for its suppliers to better manage their energy efficiency.

NOTE The Carbon Disclosure Project is a not-for-profit organization that works with organizations
to determine the greenhouse gas emissions of major corporations.
