Workforce Diversity and Inclusion

We value our employees’ differences in age, color, ethnicity, family and marital status, gender identity and expression, national origin, physical and mental abilities, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, veteran status and other characteristics that make each of our employees unique. We recognize that the collective sum of our employees’ individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, self-expression, capabilities and talent fortifies our DNOW brand, increases innovation and contributes to our culture.

We prioritize the growth and development of our employees, fostering opportunities for valued contributions and innovation. We understand that empowering and advancing our team not only drives a better quality of work and life for our employees but also enables us to Cultivate Sustainable Value for our customers, helping us execute on our commitment to be our industry’s preferred supplier.

Workforce Diversity & Inclusion Note

DNOW maintains 5 employee resource groups (ERGs): DNOW RAD (Retain - Attract - Develop), VOICE Multi-cultural ERG, PRIDE in Action, Truth & Reconciliation Council and Women of NOW (WON).

Inclusion remains vital to DNOW. Our commitment starts with our goal of attracting, developing and retaining a workforce that is diverse in background, knowledge, skills and experience. We are committed to providing equal employment opportunities with regards to recruiting, compensation, performance and promotion decisions without discriminating on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, age, family status, ethnic origin, nationality, disability, religious belief or any other legally protected characteristics.

DNOW resource groups foster inclusion and build awareness among all employees, which helps with recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce. We are committed to fostering and embracing a diverse community in which employees share a mutual understanding and respect for one other.

Monthly Awareness Topics

Education and awareness remain integral to our inclusion strategy. Our Monthly Awareness Topics promote greater empathy and understanding of the diversity within our team and allow employees to celebrate and understand the diverse life journeys of their colleagues. These events are designed to empower all employees to initiate changes in their daily lives at work, at home and in their communities, fostering a culture of inclusion and belonging.
