Ethics & Integrity: Our Core Values

At Walmart, our culture is built on living our core values every day. Guided by our purpose—to help people save money and live better—we act with integrity, respect the individual, serve our customers and members, and strive for excellence in all we do. Our Code of Conduct helps us put these core values into action by doing what’s right, being honest and transparent, and speaking up when something isn’t right. Together, our purpose and values shape who we are, how we work and how we make a positive difference in the world.

Respect the Individual

We listen to each other, we show empathy, we celebrate differences, and know that great ideas can come from anywhere.

Act with Integrity 

We do the right thing. We are honest, fair, and transparent, and we do what we say we’re going to do. We earn trust.

Serve Our Customers and Members 

 We get up every day working to improve their experience of doing business with us. Our goal is to exceed their expectations.

Strive for Excellence 

We move with speed, pay attention to detail and have high expectations of ourselves and those we do business with.

How We Live Our Values 

Acting consistently with these values demands that a culture of integrity guides all our decisions. Our Code of Conduct reflects who we are as a company and how we bring our culture to life in our work every day. It applies to every Walmart associate. We also expect our business partners to embrace our values and meet these high standards.

Our commitment to integrity is reflected in our actions: from ensuring that the food and products we sell are safe; to using technology and data ethically and responsibly; to listening to and investigating concerns raised by our customers, associates, and stakeholders. These commitments are not just policies — they are how we bring our values to life and build trust with everyone we serve.
