Our Goals

Women-Owned Businesses

In the U.S., we will source $20 billion from women-owned businesses. Globally, we will double our sourcing from women-owned businesses in every market.

Farms and Factories

New programs will empower women on farms and in factories through training, market access and career opportunities. We will help 60,000 women working in factories develop the skills they need to become more active decision-makers in their jobs and for their families.

Job Training and Education

Already successful retail training programs will be scaled to help 200,000 women internationally. In the U.S., we'll help 200,000 women from low-income households gain the skills they need for employment and a career.

Gender Diversity

In markets around the world, we will work with major professional service firms and merchandise suppliers with over $1 billion in sales to increase women and minority representation on Walmart accounts.

Charitable Giving

We will support these programs with more than $100 million in grants that drive progress against key goals. Funding will come from the Walmart Foundation and donations directly from Walmart's international business.
