Description
Summary:Ranked as one of the world's leading retailers in the area of sustainability, Walmart de México had pledged to obtain 50% of its energy from renewable sources by 2015. The company had already invested in a wind farm in Oaxaca that would supply 18% of its energy needs and the company was also considering solar and mini-hydroelectric projects. What technologies should Walmart de México employ to achieve its renewable energy goals? Should the company hold a portfolio of projects or just concentrate on one technology? This case study examines these issues.
