Amazon.com Inc is developing a plan to regulate the chemicals used by suppliers, but it still lags Wal-Mart Stores Inc, Target Corp and other retailers in the push for greener products.
That’s the assessment of Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families – a Washington-based coalition that runs a programme called Mind the Store. Though Amazon is now developing chemicals procedures, the e-commerce giant fared badly in Mind the Store’s ranking, which tracks how well companies reduce the toxic chemicals in the products they sell and disclose their presence.
