Productivity Loop
We began in 2005 with three aspirational goalsthat guide everything we do in sustainability
To be supplied 100% by renewable energy
To create zero waste
To sell products that sustain people and the environment
First, we focused on specific product innovations
Building the market and leveling the playing field
Supporting new product launches
Leading through our private brands
Driving scale and lowering the cost of money saving, more efficient products.
Increasing offerings, changing assortment, addingnew suppliers.
In 2009, we committed to the Sustainability Index
“If we work together, we can create a new retail standard for the 21st century."

As Walmart continues to grow and become a better and more sustainable business, those suppliers who partner with us in building a responsible supply chain will be the suppliers that will grow with us. And you too will become a better and more sustainable business.
Reducing waste, being more efficient, and doing the right things the right way will lower costs for your factories, for your businesses and, ultimately, for the Walmart customer.”
