“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 CEO Walmart Annual Meeting, 2010

Moving Forward

Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions • Walmart will eliminate 20 million metric tons of GHG emissions from our global supply chain by the end of 2015 • Representing one and a half times our anticipated cumulative carbon footprint growth over the next five years

Raw Material Sustainability (Fabric Dye Mills) : • China is the major supplier of Fabric to Walmart apparel. • The China textile industry emits 3 billion tons of waste water a year, and the printing and dyeing industry emits 80% of this • Walmart are thus focusing on improvements that targets dyeing and finishing mills. • Walmart has teamed up with the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), which initiated the Responsible Sourcing Initiative (RSI) with a group of apparel retailers and brand partners to curb pollution. NRDC has identified 10 best practices that can be easily employed to reduce energy and water use during textile dyeing and finishing. Extensive research at dyeing mills has been conducted to understands how to implement efficiency improvements.
