About Walmart Canada
Walmart Canada was established in 1994 by acquiring 122 Woolco stores. With headquarters in Mississauga, Ontario, Walmart Canada now operates 329 stores, including traditional discount stores and supercentres.
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (global)
Walmart’s defining principles such as Everyday Low Prices, our Three Basic Beliefs, Servant Leadership and our Open Door Policy are common to all Walmart operations.
Ethical Sourcing is managed by Walmart’s Ethical Sourcing team, based in retail markets and sourcing countries around the world.
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. may launch major global initiatives aligning all worldwide operations such as our global commitment to operate sustainably. However, our specific initiatives to meet our sustainability goals here in Canada are largely made-in-Canada solutions.

Our relationship to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
Walmart Canada operates largely as an independent company within the global Walmart organization. While ideas like the Walmart operating philosophy and values come to us from our parent company, most decisions that impact our business and our customers on a daily basis are made in Canada.
