Walmart, McDonald’s and other large companies are pushing their suppliers to reduce packaging, pursue zero waste and cut energy use in order to save companies and consumers money. It can also mislead people into thinking they can buy their way out of the carbon crisis that is destabilizing the Earth’s operating system.
Companies can have big impact creating markets for solar panels on their roofs, energy efficient equipment, and cleaner products that aim for a triple bottom line - people, planet and profit. Walmart’s size and aggressive goals have made it a leader in reducing carbon pollution. Business for Social Responsibility consults with AT&T, Coca Cola, Starbucks and other large companies on a range of environmental and social issues.
