Commitment Progress Update
Be supplied by 100 percent renewable energy. As of 2013, Walmart-driven renewable energy projects and purchases provided about 8 percent annually of our buildings’ electricity needs. The grid supplied another 16 percent, for a total of 24 percent renewable electricity.
Double fleet efficiency in the U.S. by October 2015 (2005 Baseline). Walmart U.S. Logistics has achieved an 84.2 percent improvement in fleet efficiency over our 2005 baseline. Industry-leading innovation in both equipment and operations resulted in a 6 percent increase in 2013.
By Dec. 31, 2020, reduce the total kWh-per-square-foot energy intensity required to power our buildings by 20 percent versus 2010. Walmart has reduced the total kWh-per-square-foot energy intensity of our buildings worldwide by 7 percent versus 2010. The majority of this progress has been driven by retrofits and remodeling of our existing buildings.
Drive the production or procurement of 7 billion kWh of renewable energy globally by Dec. 31, 2020 – an increase of more than 600 percent versus 2010. Walmart produced or procured an annualized 2.2 billion kWh of renewable energy in 2013. This more than doubles the amount of Walmart-driven renewable energy worldwide since our previous report.
