Lee Scott Speaks at the CIES World Food Business Summit in New York
June 19, 2009 - Speaking at the CIES World Food Business Summit in New York, Lee Scott, chairman of Walmart's executive committee, told summit participants that they had an opportunity and a responsibility to partner with government and NGOs to grapple with the larger issues facing society today. He cited as examples efforts to promote affordable health care, build a more socially and environmentally responsible supply chain, and increase efforts in sustainability. Under an environmental effort started by Scott in 2005, Walmart has set the goals of one day using only renewable energy and creating zero waste, and it has pushed its suppliers to follow its lead.
