Walmart has announced a range of sustainability based initiatives following its hosting of a summit on sustainability, with representatives from other retailers, business leaders and academics attending, to help better understand how sustainability can also drive sales and profit improvements. The initiatives announced include:

  • The launch of a sustainable product index
  • New sustainable distribution centre
  • Wind and solar projects
  • Website to drive best practice and industry collaboration
Commenting on the launch of the Sustainable Product Index, David Cheesewright, President and CEO of Walmart Canada, said:

"Customers want value and quality when buying products. They also want to know that products are being made in a responsible way. Once launched, the Sustainable Product Index will give customers transparency into the entire lifecycle of the products they buy, so they know they're safe, made-well and produced responsibly."
