CEO vows to be ‘good steward for the environment'

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has unveiled an environmental plan to boost energy efficiency, cut down on waste and reduce greenhouse gases tied to global warming as part of a wider effort to address issues where it has been pummeled by critics.

Wal-Mart Chief Executive Lee Scott said the world's largest retailer wants to be a “good steward for the environment” and ultimately use only renewable energy sources and produce zero waste.

“As one of the largest companies in the world, with an expanding global presence, environmental problems are our problems,” Scott said in a transcript, released Tuesday, of a speech he gave Monday to employees titled “21st Century Leadership”.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Wal-Mart Stores Inc. will start holding its suppliers more accountable for environmental and social standards at foreign factories as public expectations in the United States rise, Chief Executive Lee Scott said Thursday.

Scott told suppliers at a business conference that the public has high expectations of the world's largest retailer. The company has come under mounting fire from organized opponents over issues including the environmental and labor standards of low-cost manufacturers it buys from overseas.

Scott said Wal-Mart would be more involved in its suppliers' businesses to make sure they are accountable. The company will work with them to find new products that meet demand for higher standards, such as new clothing lines made from organically-grown cotton that Wal-Mart plans to sell next year.
