At the height of this recession, we promised we would broaden and accelerate our commitment to sustainability. Today sustainability is sustainable at Walmart… …I appreciate that the world now has higher expectations of our company. So we must raise the bar. We must continue to meet the social obligations and expectations ahead. Walmart will never look back.” Mike Duke President and Former CEO, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.

Be supplied 100% by renewable energy

•  Globally, 21 percent of total electricity and 17 percent of total energy comes from renewable energy

•  Walmart-driven renewable energy projects provide 4 percent annually

Be supplied 100% by renewable energy

•  Drive the production or procurement of 7 billion kWh of renewable energy by Dec. 31, 2020 – an increase of more than 600 percent verses 2010.

Scaling renewables

•  By Dec. 31, 2020, reduce the total kWh-per-square-foot energy intensity required to power our buildings by 20 percent 2010

Accelerate efficiency


11

Create zero waste

•  Even as our retail sales and square footage continue to increase, Walmart U.S. improved to 80.9 percent reduction in 2012. Sam’s Club U.S. improved to 77.3 percent reduction in 2012.

Eliminate landfill waste from U.S. stores and Sam’s Club locations by 2025

•  We exceeded the target by reducing plastic bag waste across our global operations by 38.1 percent, or approximately 10 billion bags.

Reduce our global plastic shopping bag waste by an average of 33 percent per store by 2013 (2007 Baseline)

•  While considerable attention is being paid to producing more food to meet growing population demands, one of the most immediate and affective ways to alleviate some of the pressure is to waste less of what we already have.

Reduce food waste in emerging market stores and clubs by 15 percent and in our other markets by 10 percent by the end of 2015 (2009 Baseline)


Sell products that sustain people and the environment

•  20 percent of our global palm oil use supports sustainable growing. Six of our international markets purchased GreenPalm certificates to cover all of their 2012 palm usage.

Walmart will require sustainably sourced palm oil in all of our private-brand products globally by the end of 2015

•  By the end of 2017, we’ll buy 70 percent of the goods we sell in Walmart U.S. and Sam’s Club U.S. units only from suppliers who use the Index to evaluate and share the sustainability of their products.

Committed to scaling the Index

•  The Walmart Foundation provided a $2 million grant to support the launch of TSC China.

Helped to launch The Sustainability Consortium China

century."

Sustainability Index: Tools that are…

• Improving the sustainability of the products our customers love

Every buyer will have sustainability goals as part of his or her objectives, and we will use the Index as the tool to measure progress against those goals. We’ll recognize and reward those buyers and suppliers who are doing well. We will also ask suppliers who aren’t performing well to develop plans to improve, and we’ll hold them accountable for showing progress.
