A fundamental component of these regulations is the need to measure the cradle-to-grave ‘Carbon Footprint’ involved in the development, production, distribution and disposal process for a product.

“The more we learn here, the more there’s real business and consumer opportunity, in that there’s a lot of unharvested efficiencies yet…When you look back at the supply chain and at factories and warehouses and you start thinking about their basic needs for energy there’s a huge opportunity to do some relatively simple things to save energy …” -Jim Stanway, Head of Wal-Mart’s Greenhouse Gas Strategy, Financial Times, 24 September 2007
