Creating a Seamless Shopping Experience

Walmart has been changing the face of retail since our first store opened in 1962. We've continued to pursue ways to bring technology into retail to offer customers a seamless shopping experience. You can find a ton of items in a Walmart store, but as customers increasingly shop across digital and physical storefronts, we've made it easier for you to find what you need right at your fingertips. With innovations like Curbside Pickup, and a whole host of apps, we're providing customers with more ways to save time and money while reimagining how digital and physical shopping work together.

As one of the world's largest brick-and-mortar retailers, we are also one of the fastest growing and most dynamic e-commerce organizations. With 90% of the U.S. population living within 10 miles of our stores, we're primed to combine our physical locations with our e-commerce business to offer a level of convenience never before seen. We're creating an experience that lets customers shop anytime, anywhere - delivering exactly what they want, when they want it.

Our largest website, , sees up to 100 million unique visitors a month, according to comScore, and is growing every year. In 2016, Walmart acquired Jet.com and began expanding its portfolio of e-commerce sites. As part of the Jet acquisition, (home furnishings) also joined our family. Walmart continues to acquire additional specialty e-tailers and digital brands. The result? An unparalleled selection of brands and categories, and a family of sites that provides a great end-to-end experience for customers.

offers a variety of features to serve the needs of our connected customers. It's part of our promise of creating convenience at the lowest price, no matter how you shop. Here are just a few ways we're helping customers save time and money:

- From Walmart Pay to Mobile Express Returns, prescription refills and grocery orders with same-day pickup, we help you get more done with just the touch of a button.

- Shop and checkout with your phone in-store.

Curbside Pickup - Order online, pickup in store.

NextDay Delivery - In many markets, customers can enjoy fast, free shipping on eligible orders over $35.

- Membership program that brings together in-store and online benefits.

- Walmart's delivery as a service business that provides delivery to customers from businesses of all sizes.

Walmart's 210 distribution centers are hubs of activity for our business. Our distribution operation is one of the largest in the world servicing stores, clubs and direct delivery to customers. Walmart's transportation has a fleet of 9,000 tractors, 80,000 trailers and more than 11,000 drivers.

The distribution center network ships general merchandise and dry groceries along with other specialty categories to our consumers daily.

There are six disaster distribution centers, strategically located across the country and stocked to provide rapid response to struggling communities in the event of a natural disaster.

Each distribution center is more than 1 million square feet in size and employs 600+ personnel unloading and shipping over 200 trailers daily.

Our newest e-commerce fulfillment centers are capable of shipping and handling millions of items.

Our fulfillment centers are strategically located across the U.S. to give us very quick and highly efficient access to U.S. customers using ground shipping.

Each fulfillment center is unique and designed with special characteristics based on the area where it's located. For example, our fulfillment center in Davenport, Florida, has 62 dock doors that can withstand wind speeds of 120 mph due to hurricane risk.

Every distribution center supports 90 to 100 stores in a 150+ mile radius.

We are continuing to create solutions that gets products on shelves even faster, but also makes warehouse work easier on our associates. Since 2017, we've worked with Symbotic to optimize our systems and transform our supply chain. While this technology works to sort, store, retrieve and pack freight onto pallets, it also provides an opportunity to train our associates on how to use this new equipment, developing new skills and preparing them for jobs in the future. We've also rolled-out a high-tech consolidation center in Colton, California, that will enable three times more volume to flow through the center. We're continuing to use technology to transform the way we work and lead our business into the future.

For our customers, it's as easy as a tap on their screen. But what goes on behind the scenes? The short answer: a ton of people power, highly-efficient fulfillment campuses dedicated to e-commerce, a world-class transportation fleet and a touch of magic. With cutting-edge systems and unrivaled scale, we're able to serve customers quickly and offer more choices for how they'd like to receive their orders - shipped to their homes or picked up at their local stores for free.

Walmart is able to move goods to and from distribution centers because we maintain a private fleet of trucks and a skilled staff of truck drivers. We think our team of drivers is the best in the world. They're part of one of the largest and safest fleets, and every year they drive 1.1 billion miles to make millions of deliveries to our stores and clubs. Each driver averages around 100,000 miles annually-that's like driving around the world 4 times!

Together with our truck drivers, we're constantly working to ensure that we're moving merchandise in responsible, sustainable ways. Drivers follow the most efficient routes to their destinations and work to minimize the number of "empty miles" they drive. This way, we use less fuel, we drive fewer miles and we maximize the merchandise we deliver while minimizing our environmental impact.

Walmart helps people save money and live better. Walmart International delivers on this promise by bringing value and convenience to millions of customers in 23 countries outside the U.S.

Our unique global perspective makes it possible to see connections that others cannot and to bring innovations to market that make life easier for customers. In addition we're building strategic partnerships through equity investments to support our core businesses.

Our strategy is to build strong local businesses that are powered by Walmart-while at the same time generating growth for the company and our partners, and making a positive impact on our stakeholders.

Walmart International has more than 5,100 retail units and approximately 550,000 associates around the world. Additionally, Walmart Global Sourcing works with manufacturers to sell their products including apparel, homeware, jewelry, hardlines and more throughout the world. Upholding Walmart's reputation as the world's most trusted retailer, Global Sourcing regularly audits suppliers' practices and works with them through the Walmart Responsible Sourcing Program to help them meet Walmart's high standards.

Markets where we operate:

Markets where we hold equity investments:

Brazil - In , Carrefour Brazil announced an agreement with Advent International and Walmart to acquire Grupo BIG (formerly Walmart Brazil). The cash and stock deal, which values Grupo BIG at USD $1.2 billion, will see Walmart and Advent share a 5.6% stake in Carrefour Brazil. Walmart entered the Brazil market in 1996 and throughout its ownership opened Walmart Stores, Sam's Clubs and acquired several brands like Hyper and Maxxi. In 2018, Advent International acquired an 80% stake in Walmart Brazil with Walmart retaining a 20% stake. Today, Grupo BIG is Brazil's third-largest food retailer.

Japan - Walmart has been an investor in Japan's Seiyu retail group since 2002. We increased our stake to 100% in 2008 to accelerate Seiyu's development as a leading omnichannel retailer, reaching or exceeding goals in market share, customer satisfaction, associate engagement and financial performance before announcing a new ownership structure for the group in November 2020 . Seiyu is now jointly owned by KKR (65%), Rakuten (20%) and Walmart (15%). This allows it to take advantage of the three partners' combined retail expertise and innovation as it accelerates its digital transformation to build an even stronger local business.

United Kingdom - In October 2020, Walmart announced an agreement to sell Asda to entrepreneurs Mohsin and Zuber Issa, backed by British private equity firm TDR Capital. Under the new ownership structure, the Issa brothers and TDR Capital are acquiring a majority ownership stake in Asda, with equal shareholdings. Walmart will retain an equity investment in the business, with an ongoing commercial relationship and a seat on the board. Asda's new British ownership will accelerate its current strategy, building on the business' low-price heritage. Walmart acquired the Asda business in 1999.

5 takeaways:

➀ Telecommuting is likely here to stay. More than 40% of the U.S. labor force worked from home during the pandemic. (Essential workers weren't as fortunate.) The pandemic proved that workers remained engaged and productive at home, but long-term forecasts speculate that only 25% of the workforce will work remotely. Most of them will be, as during the pandemic, highly educated and white-collar. "Telecommuting opens up more workforce opportunities to more people," said Texas A&M Transportation Institute agency director Gregory Winfree. "However, it'll be interesting to see how businesses will alter their operations and/or move to get the workforce that they need."

➁ T he pandemic almost emptied the highways of commuters, but traffic fatalities managed to increase anyway. The Texas A&M Transportation Institute has tracked traffic patterns for decades. Their measure of congestion - vehicle miles - was down 30% to 50% during the pandemic. But Americans exercised what Winfree called "freedom to choose higher speeds," the prime cause behind the 50,000 people who died in traffic accidents in 2020, the largest number since 2007.

➂ It may take incentives, like free fares, to lure people back onto mass transit. Robert Puentes, president & CEO of the Eno Center for Transportation, said commuter rail and subway ridership declined by 85% to 95% in some places. Bus ridership fell 40% to 60%. "Public transit certainly is going through an existential crisis," he said. Once people began working from home, the only riders were disproportionately low-income workers of color who had no other options. A couple of cities, like Kansas City and Los Angeles, are experimenting with free fares on public transit to get people back.

➃ The mass transit death spiral is a possibility. You can't run buses or trains for free, of course, because it would "starve" the systems, as Puentes put it. As it is, no transit system can cover its costs with fares alone. Slate transportation reporter Henry Grabar said fewer riders beget service cuts which beget fewer riders which leads to more service cuts - hence the death spiral begins. Grabar said there has been a certain amount of fear mongering about safety on public transit that is without merit. "That's a perception that unfortunately persists," he said.

➄ Businesses play an outsize role in deciding the future of commuting. Winfree said companies should consider flexible or hybrid schedules for workers to promote a shift from peak to non-peak commuting. For example, companies in one community could agree to staggered work start times to even out the busiest commuting windows. He also said companies could offer incentives to encourage public transportation or car-pooling. Puentes said big capital infrastructure projects should get a new review, in the aftermath of lessons learned from the pandemic. "As we emerge from this pandemic, those big capital projects probably need another look because they're usually based on models for former commuting patterns," Puentes said.

Charlotte Rivas, the HR manager of the regional company Plans & Co., asked her employees for information about their daily commute. The HR department is worried because winter is a hard time for those workers who live in rural areas and do not own a car to get to the company every day.

Here is the email Charlotte sent: Dear workers, The Human Resources Department is worried about the current low temperatures in our region. We know that many of you do not live near the company, so we want to ask you for information about your daily commute to work. We would like to get as much information as possible in order to help those in need. Looking forward to hearing from you. Best Regards, Charlotte Rivas

A few workers have already replied to Charlotte:

Laura Martínez: Accountant

Charlotte, Thank you for your email. Well, you know. I have been working for Plans & Co. for over a decade and I never had problems commuting to work until recently. Before the pandemic, I used to wake up at 6 or 6.30. Then, I had breakfast with my family before commuting to work. It took me about 30 minutes to get to the office. It was perfect for me.

However, in December 2021, my family and I went through a financial crisis. Therefore, we had to sell our house. We moved to an apartment in the outskirts of the city. Now, I have to wake up at 5 in the morning and my commute to work has doubled. Nowadays, it takes me 50 to 60 minutes to get to the office. Also, the traffic in the area I live does not help at all! You know, I love working in-person but working from home was a great option for me, too!

Benjamín Campos: Web Designer

I appreciate your concern. My daily commute to work is very smooth and simple. I live about 15 minutes away from the office and I haven't seen any changes to it in the last years. However, I miss working from home. I used to spend more time with my family and pets. Anyway, I love working in this company, so it is not really a problem for me. Hope you can help other workers with problems in their commute. See you this afternoon!

Arturo Donoso: Sales Representative

Well, my case is a particular one. My commute is quite irregular because, you know, I have to travel to different cities every week. I normally leave my house at 6 am because it takes me about two hours to get to the closest city and about 4 hours to get the furthest one. However, when I travel to the headquarters of the company, it is only a 20-minute drive from my house.

I currently do not have any issues with my commute. Thank you for asking, though!

Yanina Gutiérrez: Bookkeeper

Thank you for your email. I wanted to communicate my concern, but I did not know how to do it. I was one of the lucky people who were hired during the pandemic and working from home was quite positive for me. I have 4 children and my partner works full time as well.

Nowadays, we have to drop our kids at school before heading to work. Their schools are on the other side of the city. It takes me about 40 minutes from my house to their school. After that, it takes me about an hour to get to the office.

Do not get me wrong. I love my job here. Everyone at the office has been super welcoming! However, I would appreciate it if I could work from home a couple of days a week when possible.

Mario Puebla: Assistant

My commute is horrible these days. Everyone knows I don't have a car and that I use the public system every day. Because of the rainy season, the public transportation system gets worse. Thus, I have to take the 6 am bus and sometimes it is completely crowded. Additionally, the traffic in my area is terrible. This bus should take about 40 minutes, but because of the traffic, or simply, because it won't stop when it is packed, it takes me about 70 to 80 minutes now!

I do not what to do anymore. It is very stressing. Especially in winter.

Alexandra Gandía: Product Manager

Thank you for your concern. In my case, I used to experience some issues when we returned to the office. At first, in-person working was chaotic for me. My car broke down during the first days after returning to the office, and they have been unable to fix it ever since.

However, I immediately found a solution. I am currently commuting with Marta Salazar from the sales department. She kindly offered me help her. She picks me up at 7 am every morning and she drives for about 30 minutes to get to the office.

When she is not available, I request an Uber. They are even faster. They take about 20 minutes from my place to the office.

In conclusion, I am doing well. My car should be fixed within the next two weeks. In the meantime, Marta and Uber are my go-to rides!

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has became the first Gulf state to record a case of monkeypox.

The Czech Republic and Slovenia also reported their first cases on Tuesday, joining 18 other countries to detect the virus outside its usual Africa base.

That number is expected to rise further still, but experts say the overall risk to the general population remains low.

Outbreaks of the virus have been found in Europe, Australia and America.

The symptoms often include a fever and rash - but the infection is usually mild.

In the UAE, health officials announced a case had been detected in a traveller who had recently visited west Africa and is now receiving medical treatment.

Authorities there say they are "fully prepared" to handle any outbreak, adding that early surveillance protocols for detecting the disease were in place.

The World Health Organization (WHO) says the virus can be contained with the right response in countries outside of Africa where it is not usually detected.

"We encourage you all to increase the surveillance of monkeypox to see where transmission levels are and understand where it is going," the WHO's director for Global Infectious Hazard Preparedness, Sylvie Briand, said at a conference on Tuesday.

The outbreaks may not be normal but remain containable, she added.

Outside Africa there are now 237 confirmed and suspected cases of monkeypox and health authorities around the world have announced plans to contain the virus.

Germany says it has ordered up to 40,000 doses of the Imvanex vaccine - used to treat smallpox, but also effective against monkeypox - to be ready in case the outbreak worsens.

Anyone already vaccinated with a smallpox vaccine years ago as part of a global bid to eradicate the disease should have existing immunity, German health officials said. But they added that the older treatment has more side-effects so is not suitable for fighting monkeypox today.

And in France, which has detected three cases, officials announced a targeted vaccination campaign of adults who had been recently exposed.

Authorities there are recommending that a vaccine be given within four days of exposure, but up to 14 days afterwards if necessary.

In England, officials announced on Tuesday that 14 more cases of the virus had been detected - bringing the total number of cases in the UK to 71.

Monkeypox is usually associated with travel to Central or West Africa, but some of the cases which have been occurring outside these countries have had no travel link.

It does not spread easily between people, but it can be spread through:

touching clothing, bedding or towels used by someone with the monkeypox rash

touching monkeypox skin blisters or scabs

the coughs or sneezes of a person with the monkeypox rash

If you get infected with monkeypox, it usually takes between five and 21 days for the first symptoms to appear.

Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle aches, backache, swollen lymph nodes, chills and exhaustion.

A rash can develop, often beginning on the face, then spreading to other parts of the body. The rash changes and goes through different stages - a bit like chicken pox - before finally forming a scab, which later falls off.
