Our Shared Value Approach

Shared value – addressing societal issues in ways that create value for our business and stakeholders – lies at the heart of Walmart’s enterprise strategy and our approach to ESG issues.

We prioritize issues that offer the greatest potential for Walmart to create long-term shared value: Issues that rank high in relevance to our business, importance to building and maintaining stakeholder trust and in which Walmart has the ability to be an effective actor. Our current priorities are categorized into four broad themes: opportunity, sustainability, community, and ethics and integrity.

Opportunity

Creating inclusive economic opportunity for associates and suppliers helps us better serve our customers and strengthen communities. We focus on providing jobs that support associates’ financial, physical, and mental wellbeing while preparing associates for the future of work by equipping them with the skills, education, and opportunities to grow their careers as our business evolves. Through sourcing, we create opportunities for our suppliers and sellers to reach new customers, build their businesses, support jobs in their communities, and grow with us.
