Also, commercially sold products at Wal-Mart, even if part of major labels, should not mislead consumers as to their origin or product composition. Finally, Wal-Mart will strive to reduce its consumption of fossil fuels in the environment, and make alternative products, such as organic produce, available for consumers to choose over standard products. Wal-Mart is committed to choice.
How the policy is to be implemented
Wal-Mart will refuse to allow products manufactured in an environmentally unacceptable fashion at its stores that are not currently consistent with FDA (Food and Drug Administration) safety guidelines. Also, it will encourage suppliers to create more innovative products that contain additional protections for the environment than currently exist at present by doing business with these suppliers in bulk, if such products are generated. It will also devote some of its research and development funds for new products to creating more environmentally friendly products, and generating more environmentally friendly processes of production.
Who is responsible for implementing the policy?
Wal-Mart owners and managers are responsible for making sure these guidelines are kept in place,...
Products must meet FDA standards regarding accurate labeling and thus the government will provide additional surveillance.
Guidelines of the policy
Wal-Mart stands by consumer awareness and choice, and products must be labeled in the store and on their packaging in an ethically acceptable and non-misleading manner.
If alternative manufacturing strategies that are not damaging to the environment are available, Wal-Mart will chose companies that pursue such strategies over companies that do not use such alternative strategies.
