Walmart announced September 21st that they have set a goal to become a Regenerative Company. They stated that they are “doubling down on addressing the growing climate crisis by targeting zero emissions across the company’s global operations by 2040.” They want to “help protect, manage or restore at least 50 million acres of land and one million square miles of ocean by 2030 to help combat the cascading loss of nature threatening the planet.” While Walmart’s intentions are good, however can we really trust that they're going to stick with this plan? adweek says that Walmart intends to “harvest enough wind, solar and other renewable energy sources to power its facilities with 100% renewable energy by 2035; electrifying and zeroing out emissions from all of its vehicles by 2040; and transitioning to low-impact refrigerants for cooling and electrified equipment for heating in its stores and data and distribution centers by 2040.” That is a lot of changes they are going to have to make, will big companies like Target follow their lead to assist in our world’s health? Is Walmart going to set the example for all major companies? Only time will tell.
