Corporate Social Responsibility Report

This Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report takes an in-depth look at the environmental, social and economic impact of Walmart Canada Corp. and the actions taken to meet our CSR commitments during our fiscal year from February 1, 2011 to January 31, 2012.

This report includes the performance metrics that we are using to track and evaluate our CSR progress going forward. Our intent is to share information on issues that are most relevant to our stakeholders, customers, associates, suppliers, fellow retailers, and the communities where we operate.

Our Social Commitment

At Walmart Canada, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a commitment to operate in a way that promotes positive outcomes for our environment, our associates, those who manufacture the merchandise on our shelves, and the communities in which we do business.

From the beginning, our mission has been to lower prices to save Canadians money so they can live better. Today, we have a greater appreciation of how the many choices we make as a company can enable others, both in Canada and around the world, to do just that.

Reporting standard

To create this report, Walmart Canada has reviewed a number of external resources to help shape and draft its content. These include the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, the most widely accepted sustainability reporting framework for companies worldwide. The GRI standards are used as a benchmarking tool only.

Stakeholder engagement

To ensure that we are reporting accurately and relevantly to stakeholders, Walmart Canada is partnering with consultants from Canadian Business for Social Responsibility (CBSR). CBSR is a non-profit CSR consultancy and peer-to-peer learning organization that works with member companies across Canada to improve their respective social, environmental and economic performance.

We asked community leaders, non-governmental organizations and others to help review and guide content for our CSR reporting. We have used this feedback as a content guide for this report and will continue to do so into the future.
