Walmart releases 2010 sustainability report

Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, released its third annual Sustainability Report Wednesday. The report outlines the company’s progress in a range of social responsibility measures, including energy efficiency, emissions reductions and labor conditions.

Of particular emphasis this year is the global nature of Walmart’s sustainability efforts. The report includes extensive information on sustainability goals overseas, as well as obstacles in each major geographic area.

The 45 page document is less than half the length of last year’s, but still feels like a lot of information, a smorgasbord of positive developments (some more meaningful than others) mixed in with hard data.   Walmart Sustainability Report   Related video
