Sustainability

Key focus areas

While we consider all issues under the Multiline and Specialty Retailers & Distributors guidance offered by the SASB, we focus in the areas where we can make the largest positive impact. We have strategically grouped issues into three key focus areas. We developed this approach following feedback from our associates, customers and suppliers and in line with the latest best practice, utilizing the guidance and methods provided by SASB.

Best associates

As our associates are our most important asset, this focus area includes health and safety, diversity and inclusion, compensation and benefits, development and retention and social investment.

Efficient operations

Initiatives that support this focus area include energy management, supply chain management, fuel consumption and emissions reduction.

Sustainable products and solutions

Projects within this focus area include product quality and integrity, product packaging and design, and lifecycle impacts of the products and services we offer.
