Since taking the consulting gig at Walmart, Werbach has helped 40% of the company's employees
embrace sustainable practices.
Something that, if you are Werbach, probably wasn't the most joyous thing to read
with your morning cup of coffee.
However, fast-forward through over a decade's worth of backlash, Werbach is beginning to see that his controversial decision
to join Walmart was the right one.
Suddenly, Werbach went from touring the country
and giving 200 speeches a year in front of raving supporters to not being able to speak in public without private security.
At the age of twenty-three, Werbach became the youngest president in Sierra Club history-
one of the leading environmental organizations in the United States that promotes climate solutions and conservation.
He has been instrumental in not just lessening Walmart's impact on the environment but improving the
quality of life of its workers- one of Werbach's movements has helped 12,000 Walmart
employees quit smoking.
Regardless of how you might refer to it, most of us have experienced a“feeling” that we can't quite describe- whether that be about a person,
event or in Werbach's case a major business decision.
