Walmart Teams Up to Channel Innovation

Mother Nature Network and Walmart are teaming up to tell their inspiring stories. From a teen prodigy who is revolutionizing mobile news to a global medicine hunter searching for botanicals to use in novel ways, or a local community setting the world record for recycling, "The Leaderboard" (mnn.com/leaderboard) is a new online destination that profiles the biggest innovations in sustainability — and the pioneers who are creating them. 

 

"Thanks to the ingenuity, passion and innovative thinking of so many people, we've seen an increase in sustainable technologies, processes and options in the past decade," says Andrea Thomas, senior vice president of sustainability at Walmart. "These new ideas have helped companies, like Walmart, make significant progress toward our sustainability goals. Walmart has a responsibility to use its size and scale to influence positive change, and we believe 'The Leaderboard' will be a place to showcase cutting edge ideas and spark further adoption."

 

The Leaderboard will profile dozens of forward-thinking innovators, with new stories published every week. To learn more or to make a suggestion for a Leaderboard profile, go to mnn.com/leaderboard.
