As the world’s largest retailer, Wal-Mart’s size and scope give it the unparalleled ability to fundamentally shift the way products are sourced, manufactured, delivered and sold. We recognize that this influence provides us with a unique opportunity to drive positive and sustainable change throughout the supply chain and into the homes of millions of people. We believe that we can be a good steward of the environment and a good neighbor to communities around the world while growing a profitable business. We also believe that we can do this while saving our customers money so they can live better.
As a company, we are working to be supplied 100 percent by renewable energy, create zero waste and sell products that sustain our resources and the environment. Using an approach we call Sustainability 360, we are working to achieve these goals and bring sustainable solutions to our roughly 61,000 suppliers, 176 million weekly customers and more than 2 million associates. Sustainability 360 lives within every aspect of our business, within every salaried associate’s job description, and extends beyond our walls to our suppliers, products and customers. Our sustainability efforts extend to all of our international markets—from China to Costa Rica—finding opportunity and solutions in all of the communities we touch.
