Environmental, social, and governance

Healthier futures start with the health of our people and our planet. See how we’re making a positive impact on both through the work we do.

As a growing enterprise with a global footprint, it’s our responsibility to leave a positive impact

However, we prefer to view it as an opportunity to make a more meaningful impact. We work with partners who share our passion for protecting the environment and supporting communities so together we can make a bigger difference in the world.
 
Our combination of strategy and action revolves around three environmental, social, and governance (ESG) pillars that align with our solutions and values.

We support communities through supplier diversity

There are thousands of small and diverse suppliers out there with tremendous potential for stimulating local economies and creating jobs. We partner with companies like these to elevate their business and give their community a boost. We actively seek partners in underutilized areas as well as companies that are owned by minority groups, women, people with disabilities, veterans, or LGBTQ+.

We bring innovation and efficiency to the supply chain

As stewards of the supply chain, we’re committed to ensuring product safety with our state-of-the-art infrastructure and technology. We’re leading the way by making continuous improvements and minimizing our environmental impact in the process. Our goal is to optimize security and environmental sustainability without sacrificing anything.
