At Walmart, were committed to using our size and scale for good. Not just for our customers, or even our associates, suppliers, and their families, but also for the people in our communities and around the world that we will never meet.

Were proud to say that the work we do makes a real difference on the real issues that matter to all of us, and drives meaningful change in a way that no other company can.

Around the world, over 2.2 million people work for Walmart. In the U.S., where about 90% of the population lives within 10 miles of a Walmart store or Sams Club, were a source for advancement, providing a variety of opportunities for people of every background.

Case in point: 75% of our store management teams started as hourly associates, and last year, we promoted more than 230,000 people to jobs with greater responsibility and higher pay.
