Identity & Background

  • Background (encyclopedic): Walmart Inc. is an American multinational omnichannel retail corporation that operates a chain of hypermarkets, discount department stores, grocery stores, pharmacies, and gas stations in the United States and 19 other countries. It is headquartered in Bentonville, Arkansas. The company was founded in 1962 by brothers Sam Walton and James "Bud" Walton in nearby Rogers, Arkansas.

  • Legal-entity identity (GLEIF): Legal name: WALMART INC. · LEI: Y87794H0US1R65VBXU25 · Jurisdiction: US-DE · Legal address: WILMINGTON, US-DE, US · Entity status: ACTIVE · LEI registration: ISSUED [E2] (high confidence)

Sanctions & Watchlist Screening

No entry on the screened sanctions lists exactly matches this name. SENTINEL matches names conservatively (exact match after normalising legal suffixes), so a differently-spelled, transliterated, or aliased listing would NOT be caught here — and screening only covers the lists shown in the Collection Log. This is not a sanctions clearance.

Corporate Structure & Ownership

No parent entity is reported in GLEIF Level-2 relationship data. That means none was reported — it does not establish that the entity is independent or ultimately owned by anyone in particular.
