DNOW is More than Just a Business: Our Commitment to Corporate Citizenship

As a responsible corporate citizen, DNOW strives to be an integral part of the communities where we operate, and we do everything within our power to make a positive impact on the lives of our employees and clients, our environment and the industries we serve.

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.

We have released DNOW’s Environmental Policy Statement which outlines our commitment to work towards minimizing our impact on the environment

In 2017, our Canadian team formalized its volunteer efforts through the DNOW Lights program that aims to focus on meaningful contributions to charitable organizations that support the basic needs of food, shelter and wellness throughout the Calgary operating area.

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.

DNOW is proud of the grassroots efforts of our employees to identify and respond to the needs of their local communities.

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.
