With headquarters based in Sao Paulo, Walmart Brazil began in 1995 with two supercenters and three Sam’s Clubs. Over the past 15 years, the company has grown to become the third largest retailer in Brazil with a total of 558 retail units nationwide. Its brands include: BIG, Bompreço, Hiper Bompreço, Magazine, Maxxi, Mercadorama, Nacional, Sam’s Club, Supermercado Todo Dia, TodoDia, Walmart and Walmart Posto.

Walmart Brazil also leads several initiatives to promote social and corporate responsibility with a strong focus on empowering women in the workplace as well as environmental responsibility. With the signature of the Pacto pela Sustentabilidade (Sustainability Pact) in 2009, Walmart’s suppliers committed to incorporating socio-environmental responsibility aspects in their operations. This Pact sent a clear message to the market and represented a fundamental step in creating a responsible retail chain, with a high added-value, focusing not only on a given company’s own operations, but also on reducing the total impact of the supply chain of which it is a part. Requiring GLOBALG.A.P. Certification from its Fruit & Vegetable Suppliers is in line with its ongoing strategy to spread Good Agricultural Practices among growers in Brazil and ensure safe food for its customers. www.walmartbrasil.com.br
