you had definitely give the goals and mission of both companies, which is good. both companies make broader difference in the U.S society which is good enough to encourage more companies to have a good goals and mission for the improvement of the company itself and for the benefit with the people and the environment.

Yeah they do all these things , but to what extent.
GREAT!
Most people love walmart not only because of there good quality products in a budget price but also because they are really concern about our environment. They have good errand and goals that will really help the whole world today and in the coming future. They also have pharmacy section that sell medicines for lower prices compare to other companies.
THUMBS UP!!!! to walmart..
To qt:
That's a good question qt. I think the answer lies within the company itself. Remember these are goals, and sometimes goals are not obtained due to various factors such as time constraints, budgets, among others. We'll just have to see what these companies end up doing.
