Walmart is often held up as a hero of green business - a company that will scale sustainability up to new heights through their aggressive supply chain standards.
Here's what Walmart bought in Mexico using bribes over the past decade:
- $341,000: Sam’s Club built in one of Mexico City’s most densely populated neighborhoods, near the BasÃlica de Guadalupe, without a construction license, an environmental permit, an urban impact assessment, or even a traffic permit.
- $765,000: A vast refrigerated distribution center built in an environmentally fragile flood basin north of Mexico City, in an area where electricity was so scarce that many smaller developers were turned away.
