The foundation of our culture is a commitment to operating with integrity, and we believe in treating each other with respect, including associates, suppliers, and customers.

We want to provide a working environment free of inappropriate conduct including obscene, profane, gross, violent, discriminatory, bullying, or similarly offensive language, gestures, or conduct. Walmart will not tolerate such conduct.

Harassment is conduct that inappropriately or unreasonably interferes with work performance, diminishes the dignity of any person, or creates an intimidating, hostile, or otherwise offensive work environment based on an individual’s legally protected status. Verbal, visual, or physical conduct of a sexual nature is not acceptable in the workplace and may be determined to be sexual harassment. Here are some examples:

• Sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, sexually explicit language, off-color jokes, or remarks about a person’s body or sexual activities
• Displaying sexually suggestive pictures or objects, suggestive looks, leering, or suggestive communication in any form
• Inappropriate touching, both welcome and unwelcome

We also prohibit other forms of harassment based on an individual’s legally protected status including:

• Slurs or negative stereotyping
• Verbal kidding, teasing, or joking
• Intimidating acts like bullying or threatening
• Any other conduct that shows hostility toward, disrespect for, or mistreatment of an individual based on the individual’s legally protected status

We prohibit any form of violence or threat of violence affecting the workplace, other associates, or our customers. Here are some examples included in that policy:

• Behavior that harms, damages, injures, harasses, intimidates, bullies, threatens, stalks, taunts, forces, coerces, restrains, or confines another person
• Behavior that reasonably causes another person to fear for his/her health or safety
• Behavior that intentionally harms or damages property
