How Whole is Walmart?

June 30, 2008 | One Response to “How Whole is Walmart?

A week ago, I was at the LOHAS, which stands for Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability. It is a conference for the companies that sell to the whole and green market. One of the interesting panels lead by Simran Sethi was the one with Whole Foods and Walmart. Diane Hatz
Founder/Director of Sustainable Table wrote a great post on how the sustainable food movement is now going mainstream; the fun part of her post is her comment about Rand Waddoups from Walmart.

The green movement is becoming an institution. The whole movement has yet to be defined. Conferences such as LOHAS are beginning to address what is a whole company. As with the green movement, much of that answer will come from the consumer. You will determine what it is to be a whole business.
