WAL-MART LIVE BETTER INDEX
http://www.livebetterindex.com/sustainability.html
To support Wal-Mart’s ongoing commitment to helping customers save money and live better, Wal-Mart established the Live Better Index in April 2007 with its first focus on the environment. The sustainability Live Better Index follows the adoption rates, or penetration across a particular product category, of a sampling of eco-friendly products based on Wal-Mart sales data. These products were selected because consumers can make a conscious decision to purchase them for their environmental benefits versus other products in the same category. The overall adoption rate of these products serves as a nationwide trend indicator of consumer demand for green products.
Since the benchmark was set in April 2007, consumer adoption of the initial five sustainable products dramatically increased year over year, with a 66 percent increase in average adoption rates across all categories. Moving forward, Wal-Mart will now track sustainable coffee and eco-friendly cleaning products in the sustainability Live Better Index following the introduction of the Sam’s Choice coffee (Apr. 2008) and Clorox Green Works™ (Jan. 2008) lines to its stores.
Wal-Mart will continue to pursue its goal to make sustainable products accessible and affordable to consumers. Visit often for the latest in eco-friendly product adoption rates and information.
