Walmart’s code of ethics goes over rules that are mandated by law. Because they are a
worldwide company; the code of ethics is universal no matter what the location. However, each
department or unit is expected to create policies that better reflect where they are working.
Operations of the company are expected to abide by many different rules and regulations
throughout the world. Because of this, employees are expected to abide by the local laws, as well
as the custom and culture. If there is ever a local conflict, Walmart has a division that handles
global ethics that would help guide the employees how to navigate the situation and apply the
statement of ethics. If an employee calls into the ethics division, it will be confidential and
anonymous. This will encourage employees to ask question if need be without any worry. The
code of ethics is compliant with legal mandates.
