Brand Foundation


Brand Foundation

This section is the bedrock of our brand, outlining our purpose,positioning, and principles.It guides us in all the ways Walmart comes to life: how we look, what we stand for, and how we act in the world.

Brand Purpose
Guides the enterprise

Save Money.

Live Better.

Our brand purpose is inspired by the words of Sam Walton: “If we work together, we’ll lower the cost of living for everyone...we’ll give the world an opportunity to see what it’s like to save and have a better life.” 

This purpose guides our daily actions and behaviors to best serve our customers, associates, and communities. It is the driving force behind everything we do.

Company Positioning

We are a people-led,
tech-powered, omnichannel retailer dedicated to helping people save money and live better.

Brand Principles

Brand Principles are simple descriptors 
that exist to guide our brand identity and experience across channels.

They’re an articulation of the image Walmart should spark in the minds of our customers. They’re not external-facing, but are always at the core of how we look, feel, sound, speak, and act.
