Walmart | Global Responsibility Report 2016

Walmart provides food, apparel and household products to hundreds of millions of customers in 28 countries around the world. We are committed to doing so in a way that creates economic opportunity for associates, suppliers and others in retail supply chains; enhances the environmental and social sustainability of supply chains; and strengthens the communities where we live and work. For 10 years, we have been leading initiatives with our stakeholders in these arenas of opportunity, sustainability and community. We aspire to use our strengths to help others while also strengthening our business, and vice versa – reshaping the systems we all rely on to help improve social, environmental and economic outcomes.
