Brief Summary:
Wal-Mart claims that they will cut 20 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions from its suppy chain by 2015. This would be the same as removing more than 3.8 million cars from the road per year. This is planned to happen by focusing on product categories with the highest embedded carbon.

Short Response:
This is an investment where everybody's sure it makes the supplier more profitable. I think its a good plan because given the success that this company has, it can do a lot and make a huge impact.
