Message from the President and CEO
“Welcome to our latest CSR Report. This year’s theme is collaboration – it’s about working with our corporate peers, stakeholders, and even retail competitors to pursue the solutions to challenges which concern us all.
We see this report as a powerful tool for corporate good. Our size gives us considerable influence and with it comes considerable responsibility – a role we embrace in order to help Canadians save money and live better.
Our goal is to present an open look into the impact of our operations in Canada over the past year. This latest report frames our diverse activities into four broad categories of CSR: Environment, People, Ethical Sourcing and Community.
In each area, we highlight our efforts and actions, both large and small – and summarize our current programs and challenges while outlining plans to keep improving in the future.
Now ready to share this report with stakeholders, we are tremendously proud of the progress to date but equally aware of how much is still left to do. In the spirit of collaboration that permeates this report, I welcome your feedback to help us better pursue and attain our goals.”
David Cheesewright
President and CEO, Walmart Canada
