This is now the fourth time that Walmart has reported its progress with sustainability, and regular readers of thisreport will see that we have renamed it the Global Responsibility Report. This change reflects the new social and environmental dimensions we have added to our efforts, as well as new data and metrics to track and measure our progress.
We believe transparency and accountability are part of being a good and responsible company, and that they also make us a better company. Through this report, weare strengthening our commitment to transparency and holding ourselves accountable for what we do within our company and for our communities. We also know there are still many opportunities ahead for Walmart. Our track record of success, and the strong NGO partnerships for which we are so grateful, give us confidence that we will make the most of those opportunities. Over the past year, ourcompany has delivered on my challenge to “broaden and accelerate” our commitment to sustainability. Today at Walmart, sustainability is more global and more inclusive of a broader range of environmental and especially social issues. For instance, regular readers will find more information on sustainable agriculture, global greenhouse gas emissions in the supply chain, a bold commitment to end hunger inAmerica and the My Sustainability Plan toolkit we announced Michael T. Duke, president and chief executive officer at the Clinton Global Initiative.

It is our goal to continue to lead in both the difference we make and how we make that difference.
