This #EarthWeek, Walmart is highlighting how we're working to make more sustainable choices easier, affordable and accessible – such as Tide detergent, which helps get the dirt out without losing quality or texture of their clothes and helps them save money on energy. Or all the innovations our private brand teams are leading with suppliers on reducing plastic across categories. Read more here:
Kathleen McLaughlin it is so important to recognize that sustainability behaviors are much more challenging than traditional product purchasing and making it easy, accessible and affordable are key strategies recommended by behavioral science. The more companies can cooperate across the value chain to deliver supports in the locations where sustainability behaviors are happening, will also help with scale and impact, like defaults on washing machines, or battery collection boxes in homes, or recycling bags in the bathroom. In the same way bottle refill stations have supported reusable water bottles in airports, schools, and parks. Your Trashie bag is a great example of making it easier to recycle clothes and to get an incentive to do this - another behavior science recommendation!
Awesome to see Kathleen the tremendous commitment from Walmart! Our Earth Breeze Laundry Sheets brand launched at Walmart in Week 11 in Department 13, with our commitment to removing tons of single use plastic, donating to communities in need and helping Walmart customers do their laundry in a simple and convenient way!
Cool beans!! How is the regenerative farming program going with General Mills? 🌿 🍃 👩🌾
Hello Kathleen, great post! I had a question though, what measures is Walmart taking to ensure its electric vehicle fleet and community solar investments align with its sustainability goals while remaining cost-effective?
Kathleen McLaughlin, thank you for keeping this focus uppermost on Earth Day and every day.
Thank you always Kathleen McLaughlin for your amazing contributions to sustainability with Walmart. This is amazing!
I think
Great work!
I think I’ve found the right opportunity…
3moThese are important topics. I’m glad to read that Walmart is engaging circular designed manufacturers too in its consumer offerings. >70% of consumers want help living sustainably. Wow. But what about the products they will never see? The ones that move products from suppliers to copackers, copackers to warehouses, warehouses to stores? Is this of interest? Can I connect with someone who makes decisions in that universe?
