- Question number 1 : Read the following case study and answer the underlined question.The retail giant Walmart is trying to compel its suppliers to “go green” as part of its efforts to build a more environmentally sustainable global supply chain. As it did with promoting EDI and RFIDs in the early stages of those technologies, Walmart is leading the curve with its sustainability efforts.

And cheating on the quality of products is the same as cheating on customers. We will not tolerate that at Walmart.” As part of this initiative, Walmart will survey its 100,000 global suppliers and ultimately create a “sustainability product index,” which will allow the company to evaluate suppliers on their…arrow_forwardQuestion 2: I.
