More than 4,500 suppliers have signed on. That’s the equivalent of taking over 200 million passenger vehicles off U.S. In 2020, we raised our aspiration to reduce emissions in our operations (scopes 1 & 2) by realigning our science-based target to a 1.5-degree Celsius trajectory, the highest ambition approved by the Science-Based Target initiative.īecause most emissions in the retail sector lie in product supply chains rather than in stores and distribution centers, we’re also working with suppliers through our Project Gigaton initiative to avoid a gigaton of greenhouse gas emissions from the global value chain by 2030. In 2016, Walmart was also the first retailer with a science-based target designed to achieve emissions reduction in our own operations and supply chain, which we recently upgraded to align with the highest ambition of the Science-Based Target initiative. We’re focused on strengthening business resilience, advocating for climate action and targeting zero emissions across our global operations by 2040, without relying on carbon offsets. If we don’t take more aggressive action now, the damage will only worsen, and the consequences will be disastrous for this and future generations.Īs a retailer with operations in more than two dozen countries and sourcing that spans the globe, Walmart is deeply committed to addressing climate change.
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time.
