We made a commitment to have our stores and DCs fully supplied 100% with renewable energy, with the purpose of mitigating the effects of climate change.

We continuously seek newer and better energy supply alternatives to meet our goal and at the same time implement efficient energy use initiatives, and for several years we have added the challenge of generating layer over layer of savings.

Through several initiatives implemented in Central America, such as education and awareness campaigns, constant reporting on consumption levels, and follow-up at all levels of the business,

We are the leading retail chain in
the use of renewable energy

in addition to investing in the modernization of technology and the use of a Statistical Model in existing stores, we have been able to focus our efforts on finding opportunities and enhancing performance levels. Thanks to these initiatives we have been able to achieve a 2% reduction over figures for last year, thus avoiding the use of 4.9 million kWh. All new stores have been built with 100% LED lighting.

We are in line with the goal established by Walmart Inc., to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This goal has been approved by a science-based initiative.

Reducing GHG
18%, vs. 2015

Moreover, we are building a baseline for emissions generated in our supply chain, by asking our primary suppliers to provide us with reports on the emissions generated per volume of business with Walmart Mexico.

In 2017 we had an increase of scope 1 and 2 emissions, due to the fact that the September 7 earthquake in Oaxaca affected the distribution lines that supply energy from wind farms to the stores, resulting in lower consumption of clean energy.
