Sustainability Consortium

Originally funded by Walmart, but now supported by a broad coalition of retailers and manufacturers, the Sustainability Consortium seeks to "drive scientific research and the development of standards and IT tools, through a collaborative process, [and] enhance the ability to understand and address the environmental, social, and economic implications of products." They have an ambitious agenda and are doing interesting work.
