| U.S. Achieve a 25 percent increase in fleet efficiency in the U.S. by October 2008 (2005 Baseline). |
COMPLETE | In 2008, we achieved this goal by reaching a 38 percent improvement in fleet efficiency. | ||||
| Global Design and open a viable store prototype that is 25 to 30 percent more efficient and will produce up to 30 percent fewer greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2009 globally (2005 Baseline). |
COMPLETE | In 2009, we incorrectly stated that this goal was only for our U.S. market when it was actually set for all of our international markets that were part of our global business in 2005. Despite this, our international markets all continued to work on the goal, and in 2009, we met our global goal to design and open a viable store prototype that is up to 25 to 30 percent more efficient and produces up to 30 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions (2005 Baseline). All of our international markets created a new prototype based on their regional climate. For example, Walmart Brazil opened five new prototype stores that are expected to reduce energy by 25 percent and water use by 40 percent in 2009. The high-efficiency (HE) prototype we built in China uses 35 percent less energy, and in the U.S., we opened two HE.3 stores that are designed to use 25 percent less energy than the 2005 baseline store. |
| Canada Overall, new stores in Canada will be 30 percent more energy efficient (2005 Baseline). |
COMPLETE | In the fall of 2009, we met our goal in Canada to design and build new stores that are designed to be 30 percent more energy efficient, compared to stores built in 2005, by opening two high-efficiency (HE) store prototypes in Waterdown and Oshawa, Ontario. These two stores are projected to be at least 30 percent more energy efficient than the 2005 baseline store. We will use some of the technologies that have proven successful in these stores to retrofit its existing stores in Canada and will continue to design even more efficient store prototypes. | ||||
| U.S. Retrofit low- and medium-temperature refrigerated display cases at more than 500 U.S. stores with energy-saving light emitting diode (LED) lighting by 2009 (2005 Baseline). |
COMPLETE | 501 retrofits were completed in FY 2008; an additional 499 completed in FY 2009. |
| Japan Reduce the amount of fuel required to carry one ton of goods one kilometer by 25 percent by 2012 in Japan (2006 Baseline). |
COMPLETE | Between 2006 and 2009, Seiyu transported more than 29 percent more goods over the same distance by using more efficient routing and loading techniques for trucks, and by consolidating operations and deliveries. | ||||
| China Walmart China will reduce energy use by up to 30 percent in existing stores and design and open a new store prototype that uses up to 40 percent less energy by 2010 (2005 Baseline). |
24% REDUCED ENERGY CONSUMPTION EXPECTED IN EXISTING STORES |
In China, we continue to make progress on our efforts to integrate energy-efficient technologies into our existing stores and distribution centers, as well as construction plans for new facilities. We expect to reduce energy consumption in existing stores by more than 24 percent compared to baseline stores in 2005. The high-efficiency (HE) store in Beijing is realizing energy savings of 35 percent compared to a 2005 baseline store. |
| U.S. Double fleet efficiency in the U.S. by October 2015 (2005 Baseline). |
60% INCREASE IN FLEET EFFICIENCY |
We have achieved a 60 percent increase in fleet efficiency since 2005 and are continuing to work toward achieving this goal. Including all carriers, 77 million more cases were delivered in 2009 than the year before while eliminating more than 100 million miles. By driving fewer miles, our fleet avoided emitting approximately 145,000 metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. We calculate our fleet efficiency by first dividing the number of miles we traveled by the average fuel efficiency we achieved in our trucks as measured in miles per gallon. This leaves us with the amount of fuel we used to travel those miles. Next we next take the number of cases we delivered during the same time period and divide it by the amount of fuel we used to deliver the cases. | ||||
| Global Reduce greenhouse gases at our existing store, club and distribution center base around the world by 20 percent by 2012 (2005 Baseline). |
5.1% DECREASE IN GHG EMISSIONS |
Looking at the emissions created from our adjusted baseline of stores, clubs and distribution centers in 2008 compared to 2005, our most recent complete annual data shows that we have been able to decrease the GHG emissions created by those facilities around the world by 5.1 percent, meaning that we are about 25 percent of the way toward achieving our goal. We have achieved this current level of reduction by installing energy-efficient technologies, advanced refrigeration and renewable energy technologies into our buildings. We are continuing to pursue this challenging goal. |
| China We will partner with suppliers to improve energy efficiency by 20 percent per unit of production in the top 200 factories in China from which we directly source by 2012 (2007 Baseline). |
5% EFFICIENCY INCREASE IN 119 FACTORIES |
Among our efforts to help factories improve their energy efficiency, to date we have established 119 factories that have demonstrated greater than 5 percent improvement in efficiency. |
