Last week, Wal-Mart launched a digital platform for women to share tips and learnings that grew from its five-year Women’s Empowerment Initiative, launched in 2011. Over the last six years, Wal-Mart has sourced more than $20 billion in products from women-owned businesses, increased sourcing from women-owned businesses internationally, and trained more than 1 million women worldwide who work in various roles in the retail supply chain.

“Through this initiative, we have increased sourcing from women-owned businesses, empowered women in retail supply chains through training in agriculture and factories, and promoted diversity and inclusion within supplier account teams supporting Wal-Mart,” Kathleen McLaughlin, chief sustainability officer, Wal-Mart, and president, Walmart Foundation, stated in a blog post on the company’s website. “Our goal was to help women enhance their incomes as well as build their confidence as leaders in their workplaces.”

The Global Women’s Economic Empowerment Knowledge Center is a digital platform that houses practical tips and stories related to product sourcing from women entrepreneurs as well as examples of how Wal-Mart has empowered women in emerging markets. The knowledge center can be used by any company to better inform their work to empower women, Wal-Mart said in a statement. In the future, the world’s largest retailer will add material to the knowledge center based on its training initiative for women working on farms, in factories, and in developing nations.
