Good Jobs, Good Works, Good Citizen,
Good Investment – that’s Wal-Mart from cover
to cover.
On Pages 4-7 of this annual report, you’ll meet
five unique Associates – from a part-time bicycle
assembler in El Cajon, Calif., to a Japanese national
in the Company’s international leadership training
program. All of them are growing and learning
in the Good Jobs and Good Careers
Wal-Mart provides.
Building Lasting Relationships with Suppliers
is the subject of our story on Pages 8-9. Here you
can read about our strong relationships with a
family-owned produce operation, a popular
cleaning-products company that Wal-Mart
helped take international, and a maker of ethnic
hair-care products.
On Pages 10-11, you’ll learn about Neighbors
Helping Neighbors, a few of the charitable
programs Wal-Mart supports through local stores
and Clubs. In Paragould, Ark., for example, a woman
learned to read after struggling for a number of
years. In a small town in North Carolina, a group
helped foster cultural understanding between
Hispanics and other area residents. And in
Kissimmee, Fla., the Give Kids the World Village
offered an oasis of fun for children with life-
threatening illnesses.
On Pages 12-13, you’ll see how Wal-Mart is
Raising the Standard of Living for our
Customers, from the Baldwin Hills neighborhood
of Los Angeles, Calif., to El Paso, Texas. Page 14 is
devoted to the aspects that make Wal-Mart a
Good Investment, and Page 15 explains why
we’re devoted to Supporting our Service Men
and Women.
We’re proud of the story we tell in this annual
report, and we hope you will be, too.
