Sustainability

At Walmart, we know that being an efficient and profitable business and being a good steward of the environment are goals that can work together. Our broad environmental goals at Walmart are simple and straightforward:

  • To be supplied 100 percent by renewable energy;
  • To create zero waste;
  • To sell products that sustain people and the environment.

Our efforts have been recognized through numerous awards, which would not be possible without the support of our customers, associates and communities around the world.

Upcoming Events

Walmart Green Student Challenge

Some of today’s greatest business minds got their big ideas on campus and Walmart Canada believes the next big green leader with the next big green idea could be a student. We know that business can be stronger while also being more environmentally sustainable, so we’re inviting post-secondary students from across Canada to submit their best sustainable business idea to the Walmart Green Student Challenge.
