Precautionary Principle or approach |
Walmart addresses the precautionary approach for products with the application of the Walmart Sustainability Index, a science-based, third party tool developed by The Sustainability Consortium in collaboration with universities, NGOs and suppliers. The Index includes data from suppliers on key environmental, social and other performance indicators at the category level. Additionally, we communicate our fundamental expectations to suppliers on social conditions, worker safety and integrity in the workplace through our Standards for Suppliers which apply to anyone that supplies products to Walmart for resale, as well as any agents they use. Among other topics, suppliers must agree to comply with the law, be transparent in their production for Walmart, not use involuntary or underage labor and provide a safe work environment. |

SASB
The Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (“SASB”) is an independent, private sector standards-setting organization whose mission is to help businesses around the world identify, manage and report on the sustainability topics that SASB believes matter most to investors. As part of our commitment to trust and transparency, the table below represents some topics from those listed by SASB among various industries that we believe are relevant to our company and that are discussed in Walmart’s 2019 ESG Report (the “ESG Report”). In certain instances and as noted below, a specific SASB topic may be discussed generally in our ESG Report but Walmart does not currently track or report progress on the corresponding metrics. For quick reference, we have indicated below the location(s) in our ESG Report where these topics and metrics, if applicable, are discussed.

Metrics identified by SASB do not necessarily have an equivalent under either U.S. generally-accepted accounting principles (i.e., U.S. GAAP) or international financial reporting standards (i.e., IFRS). Therefore, the methodologies, estimates and assumptions and underlying source data used by one company may not be directly comparable with how another company measures and tracks the same SASB metric. For each metric referred to above, additional information about how Walmart measures and tracks such metrics can be found in the relevant section of our ESG Report. In some cases and as noted above, additional information about a particular topic was not included in our ESG Report but may be found on our corporate website. Information on our corporate website is not incorporated by reference into our ESG Report.
