A few months ago, we announced a new advertising partnership with Mother Nature Network that would create a special editorial channel on the site for readers to explore the people, businesses and organizations leading in sustainability.

Now we’re pleased to announce the official launch of that channel, “The Leaderboard”.

“Thanks to the ingenuity, passion and innovative thinking of so many people, we’ve seen an increase in sustainable technologies, processes and options in the past decade,” said Andrea Thomas, senior vice president of sustainability at Walmart. “These new ideas have helped companies, like Walmart, make significant progress toward our sustainability goals. Walmart has a responsibility to use its size and scale to influence positive change, and we believe ‘The Leaderboard’ will be a place to showcase cutting edge ideas and spark further adoption.”

“The Leaderboard” will profile pioneers behind unique and impressive sustainability innovations—from a global medicine hunter searching for botanicals to use in novel ways to a local community that is setting the world record for recycling. We think this will be a great extension of our efforts in keeping the sustainability conversation going, and the Mother Nature Network plans to publish dozens of these profiles and a new story every week.

We hope that you’ll join us on this new and exciting journey. As always, we welcome your input. If you have any suggestions about people, businesses or organizations to feature on The Leaderboard, tell us in the comments section or email leaderboard@mnn.com.
