Looking at Walmart’s movement six years ago to influence their suppliers, we see the powerful ripple across all the suppliers and supply chain. They told their suppliers they needed to be sustainable and compellable to stringent requirements in order to continue doing business over the next few years. It was a tremendous undertaking, and other global companies such as Nike and Unilever have joined in creating a powerful and poise impact across the world.
