Walmart Says to Miss Climate Targets as Green Challenges Mount
- World’s top retailer points to energy policy, technology costs
- Major companies have retreated from DEI and emissions pledges
Walmart Inc., the world’s largest retailer, expects to miss short-term climate targets as issues including the availability of low-cost clean technologies slow the task of cutting emissions.
Previous pledges to reduce operational greenhouse gas emissions by 65% by 2030 and 35% by 2025 are probably not achievable, and the company will consider reviewing its climate targets next year.
