The minimized environmental footprint of this report is the result of an extensive, collaborative effort of Walmart and its supply chain
partners. The environmental and social impact continues to be an important consideration. It is printed on FSC®-certified responsibly
forested paper containing recycled PCW fiber that is Elementally Chlorine Free (ECF). It is printed using 100% renewable wind power (RECs),
along with environmental manufacturing principles that were utilized in the printing process. These practices include environmentally
responsible procurement, lean manufacturing, green chemistry principles, the recycling of residual materials and reduced volatile
organic compound inks and coatings.
