In the year 2007, Walmart found a new business strategy designed to fulfill three sweeping and aggressive environmental targets set by CEO Lee Scott: (1) to be provided 100 percent by renewable energy; (2) to create zero waste; and (3) to sell products that support individuals and the environment. The initiation of this new method of handling the company's extended supply chain is the issue of OIT-71A. In OIT-71B, the authors provide an update on Walmart's sustainability strategy, three years after the original case was composed.
