Walmart has imposed the requirement that its Chinese suppliers must demonstrate compliance with Chinese environmental laws as part of its efforts to improve its reputation on environmental, labor and social issues. While Walmart has also set a goal for its top 200 Chinese suppliers to achieve a 100% improvement in energy efficiency by 2020, it has not imposed an increase in wages to the equivalent of the U.S. minimum wage on its suppliers. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
