The award ceremony was held as part of the celebration of the 30th anniversary of CONAIPD, an institution whose work is to transform the quality of life of people with disabilities and their families.

This achievement is in addition to others that Walmart has obtained for its work in the area of inclusion, which is one of the most important strategic pillars at a global level, seeking to build a fairer and more equitable world, promoting programs that actively contribute to a more diverse and inclusive society.

Among the actions that the company develops in the area of inclusion are:

• Ensuring a work environment based on tolerance and respect, promoting safe spaces, free of harassment and discrimination where customers, associates/associates can be themselves and feel that their ideas, experiences and identities are valued to develop their full potential.
• Diversity and inclusion strategy focused on four pillars: gender equity, talent with disabilities, LGBT+ community and non-discrimination.
• Strong proposal in the promotion of Talent with Disabilities, with sponsorship programs, recruitment as "Yo Refiero Talento Inclusivo" and strategic alliances with key actors in El Salvador, all supported by the Policy of Inclusion of People with Disabilities.
• Creation of campaigns aimed at associates and leaders to reduce cognitive biases, use of inclusive language, promoting itself as a company that embraces differences.

"At Walmart we constantly work to provide equal opportunities to all people regardless of gender and status. Our company values diversity and inclusion, respecting the dignity of each person, appreciating their skills and enhancing their unique characteristics", said Lynnethee Machuca, Resources manager.

Differences are valued because it allows them to combine different perspectives to build more and better proposals for clients, providing work opportunities and space within the company for everyone, regardless of their physical conditions.

To date, the company has 6% of associates with disabilities.
