STRATEGIC OVERVIEW

WALMART ESG 2026

The Path to a Regenerative Company

Walmart’s ESG strategy is rooted in the concept of "Shared Value"—the idea that a company can only be

and the planet. We have transitioned from a focus on "doing less harm" to becoming a

regenerative company

Our ESG Capital Asset Portfolio represents billions of dollars in strategic investments aimed at decarbonizing

our operations, strengthening global supply chain resilience, and fostering inclusive economic opportunity.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

DECARBONIZATION

Project Gigaton™

Launched in 2017, Project Gigaton is one of the most ambitious supply chain initiatives in the retail industry.

Our goal was to avoid one billion metric tons (a gigaton) of greenhouse gas emissions from our global value

chain by 2030.

We are pleased to report that we surpassed this milestone in early 2024, years ahead of

schedule.

Key Drivers of Success

The success of Project Gigaton is built on supplier collaboration across six key pillars:

Energy:

Shifting to renewables.

Waste:

Moving toward circularity.

Packaging:

Optimizing materials.

Transportation:

Logistical efficiency.

Nature:

Protecting biodiversity.

RESILIENCE

COMMUNITY IMPACT

Climate Resilience & Crisis Response

during power outages, providing essential supplies, pharmacy services, and charging stations to the public.
