Wal-Mart prompts greener Central America supply chain
-- Home Textiles Today, 1/14/2009 1:33:00 PM
Washington – Wal-Mart Stores has launched a campaign with the U.S. State Department to boost cleaner production and energy efficiency (CP/EE) practices among the retailer’s suppliers in El Salvador and Guatemala.
The project, coordinated through the non-profit, public-private World Environment Center (WEC), is operated via the State Dept.-funded Cleaner Production Private Sector Partnerships project.
WEC will provide technical assistance on energy and water savings, waste, raw material and emissions reductions and other areas to small and medium vendors of Wal-Mart. More than 24 suppliers will benefit from the project, WEC said, which will be directed by WEC´s Latin America Operations Director, Ernesto Samayoa, out of San Salvador, the capital of El Salvador.
