THESIS 2023 is Live

Your Assessments are Waiting for You

Walmart and Sam’s THESIS Campaign launched September 5 and will run until November 3

Are you a new Walmart or Sam’s Club Supplier?

Walmart and Sam’s Club require suppliers to have a Reference ID to submit THESIS assessments. 

  1. Navigate to the Project Gigaton Platform and select “Retail Link – Supplier Login” from the menu.
  2. Use your Retail Link credentials to log in. You will then be directed to your Portal account  (Having trouble? Contact Walmart Sustainability Support at [email protected])
  3. On the dashboard page, you will see information about Project Gigaton, THESISIndex and other initiatives within Walmart.
  4. Under the THESIS Index, select “Get Started”.
  5. Here you will find information on THESIS and Walmart’s requirements for this year.
  6. Your Reference ID will appear on the right-hand side of the page.
  7. Once you have your Reference ID, go to THESIS and create an account. Suppliers can input the reference ID in two places, the first is when you are onboarding and selecting which retailers to report to. The second option is for suppliers who may have onboarded without selecting Walmart/Sam’s, and want to add them as a retailer post-onboarding, as described in this support article. 

  8. Select your THESIS assessments
  9. Select the retailers you’d like to send these assessments to – be sure to click Walmart and/or Sam’s Club
  10. Purchase your THESIS annual license for $699 US Dollars (TSC Members should have received a voucher code.)
  11. Go to the dashboard, click on an assessment and open it to begin responding.

Are you a renewing Walmart or Sam’s Club Supplier?

Returning Walmart/Sam’s users do not need to reinput their ID’s. If you are an existing/returning THESIS user who is a new supplier to Walmart/Sam’s this year, follow the instructions on the left (for new suppliers) on how to find your Reference ID.

  1. Log into your company’s THESIS account (do not create a new one)

  2. Click Renew after logging in 

  3. Review your selected retailers and assessments. Make changes as needed. 

  4. Complete your payment or use your TSC Member Voucher to renew your THESIS license.

  5. Go to the dashboard, click on an assessment and open it to begin responding. 

IMPORTANT: If you or a colleague recently logged into your company’s account and skipped the Renew button, you can view only your 2022 assessments from your Dashboard. To get started with THESIS 2023, you must click “THESIS” on the left-side menu, then select “Renew”.

“THESIS is instrumental in helping Georgia-Pacific communicate with our retail customers. Answering several different assessments at a time is a drain on our time and resources. THESIS not only makes it easy for us to answer one assessment for multiple retail customers, but the consistency across the questions asked year-to-year also helps us measure our progress.”
