Abstract

Walmart has gained a significant reputation as both a sustainable business and a proponent of, and leader in, sustainability. But Walmart seems to be two companies: one which can embrace sustainability outside itself, in its supply chain, and one which does not embrace CSR inside itself, towards employees and the communities where it does business. Walmart’s culture of cost containment creates the two Walmarts, one which can do outward facing sustainability activities and the other which is incapable of doing inward facing sustainability.
