Climate
We invest in initiatives that preserve nature and also lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Walmart is targeting zero emissions across its global operations by 2040, without relying on carbon offsets. Walmart’s goal is to power its facilities with 100% renewable energy by 2035 globally. And Walmart aims to move to cooling equipment that uses low-impact refrigerants and electrify its heating equipment and vehicles, including long-haul trucks, by 2040.
Because most of Walmart’s environmental impact comes from its supply chain, however Walmart is also working with suppliers through its Project Gigaton initiative to avoid a gigaton of greenhouse gas emissions from the global value chain by 2030.
