Abstract
"MSN’s analysis is based primarily on Walmex’s 2009 SRSD Report. It also relies on other, publicly available information about company policy and practice in order to supplement and compare with the company’s own reporting. That information is also used to identify additional concerns expressed by outside stakeholders including workers, labour rights NGOs, environmental groups, consumers, and suppliers. This report also compares Walmex’s CSR reporting in 2009 with its reporting in the previous year in order to chart progress between the two years. This report identifies strengths, gaps and weaknesses in Walmex’s 2009 SRSD Report, points to social and environmental performance issues that arise from consideration of the company’s CSR reporting, and puts forward a number of recommendations for improvements in policy, practice and reporting. It also discusses some of the company’s underlying policies and practices that are of concern to outside stakeholders. The report begins with a brief company profile and historical review of Walmex and Wal-Mart CSR reporting, followed by a summary of the overall results of this evaluation of the 2009 SRSD Report. Results in each of seven distinct subject areas are then reviewed individually, and a summary is provided of the company’s score for each indicator evaluated. The report ends with general conclusions and a set of recommendations to Walmex to improve its CSR reporting and, where applicable, its policies and practices."
