In October 2005, Wal-Mart CEO, Lee Scott, committed to
associates and to the public that the Company will take a
leadership position in sustainability. We are convinced that this
endeavor is consistent with our business model, that we can
make the earth a better place for all of us and that we can
be an efficient, profitable enterprise.
An essential part of Wal-Mart’s mission is to provide
sustainable, healthy, value-oriented products to meet
customers’ needs. We are proud of the progress we have
made to deliver such goods. Our George Baby Organic™
cotton clothing line (as pictured above), available in
U.S. Wal-Mart and U.K. ASDA stores in the summer of
2006, is just one great example of what can be done. In
the next year, we are signifi cantly increasing our organic
food offering in Wal-Mart stores and SAM’S CLUBs in
the U.S., as well as around the world.
Our product offering includes many that can help the
environment and save money for our customers.
Businesses like Wal-Mart must bring about effi ciencies
in renewable energy, waste elimination, fuel effi ciency
and resource conservation. Most importantly, we continue
to uncover more and more instances where we can do
something good for everyone who shares this planet. Find
