Sustainability

At Walmart, we know that being an efficient and profitable business and being a good steward of the environment are goals that can work together. Our broad environmental goals at Walmart are simple and straightforward:

  • To be supplied 100 percent by renewable energy;
  • To create zero waste;
  • To sell products that sustain people and the environment.

Our efforts have been recognized through numerous awards, which would not be possible without the support of our customers, associates and communities around the world.
