Walmart has taken a new step in its global supply chain sustainability goals, encouraging its small and midsize suppliers to take climate action with resources and incentives.
The retailer has created a supply chain finance program that not only enables greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions, but uses science-based targets to do so in a way that aims for a 1.5-degree Celsius pathway.
The program will help Walmart’s private brand suppliers – particularly small and medium-sized businesses – by introducing enhanced standards, tools and capacity building to help them upskill and in turn align their operations with transparent sustainability objectives.
