Walmart’ s global supply chain wields enormous influence, and it is using that scale to tackle climate impact head‐on. Through its Project Gigaton initiative, the retailer engages thousands of suppliers to avoid or cut over a billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. The focus spans energy efficiency, packaging, agriculture and waste reduction, fostering shared accountability across its vast vendor base. Walmart’ s sustainability programmes combine data‐driven measurement with clear incentives, helping local producers and international brands alike shift toward more resilient, low‐carbon operations.
