I really love Wal-Mart’s leadership on this. My only concern is how those products are communicated and marketed. With the top 250 suppliers having until August 18th to submit proposals for Spring 09, I’m sure we’ll see an nice mixture of offerings. Some will use certifications of sorts, some will use house-designed labels and graphics. Particularly interesting is the retailer push for “stories” in the marcom. At least I hope they make ‘green’ an element of every product category, not just a larger category to be managed on its own.
