In the Fall of 2004, Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott asked Blu Skye to create a transformative sustainability strategy for the company. Since that time, we have worked closely with a wide selection of top executives, line managers and store-level associates. Because of our work, Walmart had launched efforts to:

Objective	Opportunity
Reduce costs through increased efficiency of energy and materials use, with a focus on stores and the company’s trucking fleet	Wal-Mart will save an estimated $40 million for every mile per gallon improvement of truck efficiency
Increase logistical efficiency from supply chain redesign and smart packaging	Reducing the package size of a single toy saved the company $2.4 million in logistics costs in 2005. Employing this technique across product categories, Wal-Mart expects to save over $3 billion.
Turn waste streams into revenue streams through recycling	Once efforts to capture and recycle plastic wastes are rolled out to all stores, Wal-Mart expects to save $28-million per year
Attract new customers, capitalizing on growing health and environmental trends	Wal-Mart has rapidly increased its offering of organic, non-toxic and, for produce, local products
