Our Sustainability Commitment
Wesco has long been recognized as a leading provider of distribution and supply chain services, with a strong track record of delivering value to customers while embedding sustainability into the way we operate. For decades, we have maintained a commitment to responsible business practices with our customers, suppliers, and the communities where we work. Our sustainability strategy centers on minimizing our environmental footprint and enabling our partners to adopt more sustainable practices.
As part of our 2030 vision, we are working to lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and reduce waste across our operations. We continue to enhance data accuracy and align our initiatives with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) to ensure our efforts drive measurable positive change.
At Wesco, Lean process management and continuous improvement are core values. These practices are embedded in daily warehouse operations, functional program enhancements, and cross-functional kaizen (continuous improvement) events. Applying Lean principles strengthens our sustainability initiatives—whether by improving efficiency in our facilities, offering sustainable solutions to customers, or supporting suppliers in overcoming their environmental challenges and pursuing opportunities.
