april believe business campaign charter citizens concerned continue corporate cost education effects efforts founder full giant higher highlight key launching leading low momentum movement moves moving myriad national neighbor next partners people phase problems public retailing reveal robert sam since size sponsor toward view watch week
Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton once said, 'High expectations are the key to everything' and we agree. Since April of this year, Wal-Mart Watch has been leading the public education campaign to reveal the full effects of Wal-Mart's business practices. Launching Higher Expectations Week with 200-plus charter partners moves us into the next phase of our efforts. Unprecedented in size and scope, Higher Expectations Week unifies concerned citizens to highlight the myriad problems Wal-Mart creates. Together, this national movement is moving toward making the retailing giant a better employer, neighbor and corporate citizen. We are also a sponsor of the educational efforts for the new film by Robert Greenwald, 'Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Prices' and believe as people view this film, the momentum for our efforts will only continue to grow.
