Walmart Gives Suppliers CD to Help Explain Sustainability
Many companies remain somewhat perplexed by the term “greening the supply chain,” and so Walmart is giving all its private brand suppliers a CD set to help explain life-cycle assessment (LCA) and other sustainability initiatives.
The CDs are a compilation of edits from the series ‘Ecological Awareness,’ which was originally released by More Than Sound Productions. The new CD set is an introductory, made-for-business audio series called “The Radical Horizon: A Primer on Business Sustainability.”
“Given our mission of supporting collective growth, it’s only fitting that our products help business get on board with sustainability,” says Lyon Graulty from More Than Sound. “People need these tools to evolve and meet environmental challenges. ‘Ecological Intelligence’, written by Daniel Goleman, one of our lead contributors, provided the basis for these audio series, and we’re really excited that it’s catching on.”
In addition, More Than Sound co-released a download entitled “Leading the Necessary Revolution: Building Alignment in Your Business for Sustainability,” featuring Peter Senge, MIT lecturer and Founding Chair of the Society for Organizational Learning. You may remember seeing Senge recently in BusinessWeek, where he said:
“This is a huge challenge for people in companies, because so many companies are dominated by short-term perspective and because lots of people in key positions simply aren’t very good or don’t care very much about the bigger picture. Watch how the decisions are made. Are they thinking of the value of the company 10 years after they retire, or are they thinking about the value of their stock options this year?”
More information about these audio resources is available here.
Thank you so much for the post, This was just the thing I needed to read.
1Furthermore, several other conditions can affect male infertility. It has been shown that some medications such as cimetidine, spironolactone, sulfasalazine and nitrofurantoin affect male fertility. Illicit drug use, excessive consumption of alcohol, history of exposure to occupational and environmental toxins, excessive heat and/or radiation could all negatively affect male fertility. The bottom line is that infertility is a problem that equally affects both males and females, heaping the blame on the female sex only leaves the problem half solved. The male reproductive system is as vulnerable to anomalies as the female’s. A comprehensive understanding of male fertility problems could be of great help to any couple still having problems with conception.
