Corporate citizenship is a cornerstone of our company. We believe businesses are responsible for giving back to the communities they serve and making the world a better place.

Our commitments
We are committed to creating positive change globally and in our local communities by minimizing waste and pollution, supporting organizations with aligned sustainability goals, and maintaining fair and honest business policies. We strive to deliver the products and services our customers demand as they focus on sustainable growth and navigate the energy transition.
Environmental performance and supply chain sustainability
We are committed to working to minimize our impact on the environment through energy management, conservation initiatives, responsible water conservation and recycling, where applicable.
To mitigate our climate-change physical risks, DNOW can assist in reducing emissions of greenhouse gases in our operations by creating a more efficient supply chain. An efficient supply chain can help reduce the carbon footprint of deliveries to our distribution centers and branches and, ultimately, to our customers.

Rolling out a global DNOW lights program to support volunteer efforts globally
The purpose of DNOW Lights is to give back to our communities, help those less fortunate, and leverage our organizational influence to improve our world. Our program supports and represents our consolidated and strategic philanthropic efforts of DNOW and our employees.
Employees of DNOW have a history of contributing time, talent and resources
The global pandemic restricted many volunteer opportunities and charity events. With appropriate safety measures in place, DNOW employees have continued serving our communities. As more organizations allow in-person volunteering, we plan to increase our volunteer efforts.
