Walmart gave 20million in relief to the hurricane katrina disaster region. Many in New Orleans said Wal-Mart got aid to the region faster than any local, state or federal government organization. Wal-Mart’s actions have burnished the company’s image as a good corporate citizen at a time when many liberal groups are striving to paint it as the worst that big business has to offer. Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott said during a Boston conference Wednesday that the company reacted as it did because it was the right thing to do. Public relations were not a factor.”This is Wal-Mart country,” Wal-Mart spokesman Marty Heires said. Critics offered grudging praise. ” Wal-Mart can do the right thing when it wants to.” Chris Kofinis, communications adviser to WakeUpWalMart admitted.
