Greenhouse Gas Emissions

At Wal-Mart, we know that being an efficient and profitable business and being a good steward of the environment are goals that can work together. As one of the largest companies in the world, with an expanding global presence, we know we have a responsibility to deal with environmental problems, especially climate change. One of our environmental goals at Wal-Mart is to be supplied 100% by renewable energy, and one of the ways we hope to achieve this is by establishing a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Network to study and actively reduce our carbon footprint. Our GHG Network works to create business advantages from measuring, reducing and eliminating the use of fossil fuels in our stores, supply chain and by customers.
