DNOW is More than Just a Business: Our Commitment to Corporate Citizenship
As a responsible corporate citizen, DistributionNOW 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.

Delivering efficient and sustainable solutions for sustainable growth
We sell products that are designed by manufacturers to reduce our customers’ environmental impact, and we assemble and fabricate process, production and measurement equipment to measure, detect, prevent and minimize leaks and emissions of hydrocarbons.

We recognizes that the advancement and empowerment of our workforce drives a better quality of work and life for our employees, ultimately resulting in the delivery of exceptional service to our customers.
Health and safety in our workplace and in our communities

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.
