The first part of Walmart's three-phase plan -- a 15-question survey asking its top suppliers to pony up info on the current state of their sustainability efforts -- was completed in October. Walmart began meeting with vendors, industry by industry, to discuss the next steps last month, and scientists are now starting trials to get a handle on what this labeling system might look like.
