Planet
Walmart’s sustainability efforts aim to protect and restore nature and reduce waste and emissions. Our focus on climate, nature, waste and people in supply chains has strengthened our business and communities in measurable ways. Since 2005, the Walmart Acres for America program has helped protect more than 2 million acres across 42 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico – an area larger than Everglades National Park.
