Review the Wal-Mart Sustainability Assessment Questions in detail, including key learning that could come from each question, resources within your organization that could help answer each question, and a review of external resources that may help you answer the question and proactively explore ways to innovate in those areas of your business.


Review the weighting and calculations that will take your answers to the 15 questions and create scores in the areas of Climate and Energy, Material Efficiency, Nature and Resources and People and Community.


Discuss future sustainability reporting plans, including the much anticipated product sustainability assessment, or “Sustainability Index," and the Sustainability Consortium’s role in building the foundation for that program.
