We measure environmental sustainability with the Index (ESI) its a measurement of overall progress towards environmental sustainability. The index provides a composite profile of national environmental stewardship based on a compilation of indicators derived from underlying datasets. Elements of environmental sustainability covering natural resource endowments, past and present pollution levels, environmental management efforts, contributions to protection of the global commons, and a society's capacity to improve its environmental performance over time. Improving the sustainability of the product, integrate sustainability into the businesses of buying products, reduce cost over the past two years, TSC significantly expanded the categories covered by the Index, enabling Walmart to deliver powerful tools to more buyers and suppliers in more markets. Basically we measure environmental sustainability by conduction research on how much pollution we are producing then trying to figure out ways in which we can give back to the environment such as planting trees, making environmental products that wont harm the environment.
