Project Gigaton

Inspire
Our inspiration this week comes from an unlikely source, Walmart. At an event in Wellington, we heard from Kathleen McLaughlin, Chief Sustainability Officer at Walmart, about its Project Gigaton Programme that aims to save 1 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases by 2030. The scale of the organisation and project is, of course, enormous and emissions are being targeted throughout its supply chain as well as in its own freight and outlet operations.
Perhaps the most interesting statistic is that in 2019 they saved 93 million tonnes, a saving that is more than NZ’s gross annual emissions. You can see more about Walmart’s programme here
