Walmart marks milestone in carbon reduction effort
Walmart is making significant progress in its initiative to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from supply chain partners.
The discount giant is now more than halfway toward its goal to reduce or avoid one billion metric tons (a gigaton) of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from product supply chains by 2030 through its Project Gigaton initiative. Project Gigaton is a company-wide effort for Walmart to work with its suppliers to reduce or avoid one gigaton of Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions (generated by suppliers and not the company or its energy use) from the global value chain by 2030.
With over 4,500 of its suppliers engaged since the initiative’s launch in 2017, Walmart’s suppliers are reporting a cumulative total of more than 574 million metric tons of emissions reduced or avoided. Over the years, Walmart has expanded Project Gigaton to focus action on six arenas in product supply chains that are key for emissions reduction and also align with suppliers’ business priorities: energy use, nature, waste, packaging, transportation and product design.
