Ethics and Compliance

We have a dynamic and effective Ethics and Compliance program designed to prevent, detect, and act on any noncompliance regarding legislation in-force and internal policies and procedures. This program establishes the guidelines that each and every associate must follow to act correctly and in keeping with the values and fundamental principles of the company, with the main purpose to be the most trusted omnichannel chain for our stakeholders.

Since 2014, we have a CECO -Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer- for Mexico and Central America who oversees a dedicated team made up of over 350 associates in charge of each of the 14 different areas, ranging from anti-corruption to food safety.

To provide the relevant expertise in each subject area, we have 14 Global Subject Matter Leaders and installed Subject Matter Experts for each of the 14 risk areas in each retail market. These Subject Matter Leaders and Subject Matter Experts work together to identify and coordinate common standards and procedures, share best practices, provide training, monitoring, and support in their subjects. They report to their respective CECOs in each business unit.

Finally, in response to a variety of guidelines provided by governments and private agencies, we developed six basic building blocks of our unified program:

  • Leadership
  • Risk assessment
  • Standards and controls
  • Awareness
  • Training
  • Monitoring and response

This process keeps our Ethics & Compliance program agile and responsive as our business and the external environment change.

Our Statement of Ethics is the guide to exemplifying integrity as a Walmart associate; it's a daily resource for making honest, fair and objective decisions while operating in compliance with all laws and our policies. This Statement of Ethics applies to all associates at every level of our organization around the world and all Board and Committee members. Walmart expects all suppliers, consultants and contractors to act right and in a consistent manner. Throughout their careers with the company, our associates are provided with different resources to help them succeed and to promote and recognize ethical choices.
