Renewable Energy Sources Will Contribute Significantly to Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and Walmart Aims to Use 100% Solar, Wind, and Other Energy in Its Own Operations, Such as Stores and Warehouses, by 2035.

Much of this will come from power purchase agreements (PPAs), where the retailer signs long-term contracts to buy green energy from suppliers, a practice that helped it procure 1.2 gigawatts of renewable energy between 2018 and 2019; to put this in context, the solar energy industry in the United States installed 3.62 gigawatts of photovoltaic capacity in the first quarter of this year along with Walmart.

Walmart’s Gigaton Project

The Gigaton Project is an initiative from Walmart to avoid one billion metric tons (one gigaton) of greenhouse gases from the global value chain by 2030 through the use of solar energy.

Through the Gigaton Project, renewable energy suppliers can take their sustainability efforts to the next level by establishing goals and receiving credit from Walmart for the progress they make.

Walmart Criticized the U.S. President’s Decision

Walmart publicly expressed its disappointment with President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement, and McLaughlin reiterated its position.

“We believe that the U.S. should remain in the Paris Agreement. We said this at the time, and we still believe that… Climate change is one of the greatest crises we face as a planet… And, unfortunately, it requires immediate action from everyone to address it. Therefore, we need global collective action on a new renewable energy policy.”
