RIT Symposium Conclusions
May 28, 2008 by Brian Butler | Filed under: 1-The Impact of the Wal-Mart Sustainability Scorecard o, Overview
The Wal-Mart Sustainability Scorecard is but one of many metrics/scorecards/calculators used in regard to sustainable practices. The findings of this workshop were that there were conflicting interests at play that make the use of the scorecard challenging. Additionally, there was a consensus view that the scorecard could effect the supply chain in both directions (“up and down the supply chain”), however, the scorecard has a scope that is somewhat limited in that it currently only applies to North America. Some issues that were also discussed was that there must be dedicated resources in order to use the scorecard, it is challenging to develop common terminology when using the scorecard, and unfortunately the number of scorecard uploads has not met expectations since the inception of the Wal-Mart Sustainability Scorecard.
