Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, has set goals to have zero emissions by 2040 and to restore at least one million acres of land and one million square miles of ocean by 2030.
- Sustainability is nothing new to Walmart, who have already been active in this space for more than 15 years.
- Walmart is doing more than just lowering their emissions footprint, they are also restoring acres of land and ocean.
- This pledge toward sustainability is yet another example of the private sector taking their environmental impact seriously.
“We want to play an important role in transforming the world’s supply chains to be regenerative. We face a growing crisis of climate change and nature loss, and we all need to take action with urgency. For 15 years, we have been partnering to do the work and continually raising our sustainability ambitions across climate action, nature, waste and people. The commitments we’re making today not only aim to decarbonize Walmart’s global operations, they also put us on the path to becoming a regenerative company – one that works to restore, renew and replenish in addition to preserving our planet, and encourages others to do the same.”
