Renewable Energy

Solar panels At Wal-Mart, we believe that being a profitable and efficient business goes hand-in-hand with being a good steward of the environment. In an effort to reach Wal-Mart’s larger goal of being supplied by 100 percent renewable energy, we are committed to finding more ways to implement and utilize renewable energy sources in our stores, clubs and distribution centers.

When it comes to energy, we’ve made good progress towards our long-term goal by using more renewable sources and becoming more efficient. For example, we are piloting a solar power project in California and Hawaii and purchasing wind energy in Texas.

As part of Wal-Mart’s goal to use 100 percent renewable energy, we have announced our first substantial purchase of this clean fuel, which will provide up to 15 percent of the total energy for about 360 Texas stores and facilities.
