Business Strategy

Wesco’s vision is to be the best tech-enabled supply chain solutions provider in the world. We believe that accomplishing this vision depends on the successful execution of our strategy, which comprises three elements:

Extend Our Leading Scale and Value Proposition: Our long-term growth potential benefits from secular trends of digitalization, including AI-driven data centers and automation; electrification, including increased power generation and reliability; and supply chain resiliency, including reshoring. Our broad portfolio of product and service offerings, as well as our global footprint and capabilities, enable us to provide value to our customers.

Further Develop the Organization and Our Culture of Excellence: Wesco’s five core values are foundational to everything we do: Our people are our greatest asset, One team, Always strive to be the best, Innovation, and Winning with customers and suppliers. Safety remains a priority and a company-wide responsibility at Wesco. Our goal is to provide a safe work environment for our employees and all those who visit our facilities. Our education and awareness campaigns for employees include training for our fulfillment and distribution centers, enhanced reporting and investigative tools, and reinforced processes at the local site level. Additionally, our commitment to continuous improvement is a hallmark of our business, and we do so by deploying Lean business practices and Agile methodologies. Wesco continues to enhance its approach to Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) matters, including integrating sustainability into our corporate strategy and expanding our employee training and leadership development programming.

Digitalize and Transform the Business: Digitalization is a secular trend affecting the entire business-to-business distribution value chain. Wesco offers significant digital capabilities today and intends to lead the further digitalization of our industry in the years to come, making it easier to do business with Wesco, and increase the value of our data by providing unique insight into end-market and customer use of the products and services we offer. We are implementing digital tools to add value within the company and at both ends of the supply chain. We continue to make progress on our digital transformation journey. These digital capabilities are expected to improve efficiency and sales effectiveness of our business, and to enable us to create more value for our customers and supplier partners.

The three elements of our strategy touch every aspect of our business, from how we add value to our supplier partners and how we go-to-market within our three strategic business units to how we drive efficiency across the organization. We believe that the successful execution of these strategies, combined with our comprehensive product and service offerings, will provide cost-effective and innovative end-to-end supply chain solutions for a diverse set of customers across our end markets. Due to our leadership position, scale, global reach, complete portfolio of products, extensive services and insights from our data, we expect to grow our sales over the long term at a faster rate than the overall industry.

As a distribution and supply chain services company, our approach to sustainability is to reduce the environmental impacts of our own operations and assist our customers and suppliers with attaining their sustainability goals through the products and services we provide. We do this by designing and providing solutions to help them reduce greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions at their facilities and in their supply chains, improve productivity through automation and increase output more efficiently and effectively through digital tools and applications. We build on our own internal strategies for sustainability, while reinforcing our corporate responsibility. Our sustainability efforts are an integral part of our operations and core values.

Business Strengths

Wesco’s mission is to help our customers build, connect, power and protect the world. We believe that our business possesses strengths that will enable us to achieve this mission. The environment in which we operate is highly fragmented and there is significant competition within each end market and geographic area that we serve. Customers look to product line breadth, product availability, service capabilities, geographic proximity and price. Our scale, broad portfolio of products, technical expertise, global reach with local relationships, smart, digital solutions, and comprehensive value-added services provide distinct advantages that benefit our customers.

Safety. Safety is the first tenet of our core value of commitment to our people and we do not tolerate violations of established safety protocol. We work to reduce or eliminate health and safety risks through dedicated preventative and reactionary programs, leadership commitment, and employee best practice sharing and training. We seek to achieve continuous improvement in the safety of our facilities and track a series of metrics that provide guidance toward that improvement.

Our Global Corporate Safety team oversees our health and safety program, which covers the core processes and procedures for health and safety management, safe work practices, and regulatory compliance. Our health and safety program considers elements of the ISO-45001 guidelines and standards. The key components of our health and safety program are management and supervisory responsibilities, employee responsibilities, incident investigation processes, reporting of safety concerns, safety committee systems, new employee orientation, enforcement procedure, and regulatory compliance. We have set a goal to achieve a 15% reduction in the total recordable injury rate (“TRIR”) from a 2020 baseline by 2030.

Training and Development. Wesco offers certification and training programs, some of which are required for all employees while others are voluntary or based on job role. Employees also have access to external training resources. Our learning and development function is comprised of seasoned talent that is continuously improving our process and enhancing our learning technology. This enables us to execute our learning strategy of providing employees with the knowledge, skills, and experiences they need to be effective and productive. We align our learning and development priorities to Wesco’s strategic business goals and initiatives. We offer a tuition reimbursement program to eligible employees to encourage the pursuit of undergraduate and graduate education to prepare employees for expanded roles in our business.

Our sales and operations development training program has been in place for more than ten years. The program is designed to systematically train and develop new college graduates through on-the-job rotations and cohort learning and development during the first year of employment. Graduates of the program move into various sales and operations roles after completing the one-year program. Additionally, we have a function-specific development program for recent college graduates seeking a career in IT, finance, or supply chain that provides members with eligibility for roles with increasing responsibilities commensurate with their career development goals. Individuals in this program have the opportunity to accelerate the development of their business and technical skills through three 8-month job rotations. We also sponsor a summer internship program to provide college students with work experience within staff or business functions and give them the opportunity to evaluate different career fields.

We have developed a collective approach to deliver personalized, successive development aligned with enterprise needs, known as “Leadership Essentials.” Leadership Essentials consists of separate programs curated for managers that are new to leading people or leaders of teams. The programs include personalized development journeys which are aligned to both the individual’s and the Company’s needs. Wesco also provides specific tools and resources to help leaders across the enterprise support ongoing transformational change.

Inclusive and Respectful Workplace Culture. We aim to foster a sense of individual and group belonging by 1) leveraging the unique experiences, backgrounds and perspectives of our talented workforce to support Wesco’s mission, 2) engaging employees and building an inclusive culture, 3) recruiting and developing talent from different backgrounds to bring new perspectives and thought processes to Wesco, and 4) supporting the communities in which we operate.

Wesco has six Business Resource Groups (“BRGs”) to support the following groups: women, BLIPOC (Black, Latino, Indigenous, and People of Color), LGBTQ+, people with diverse abilities, veterans of the armed forces, and our early-career employees. These BRGs foster a sense of community and inclusion and provide opportunities to network. The BRGs are global and open to all employees regardless of any aspect of their personal identity.

Our BRGs engage in various activities, such as:

•Building an inclusive culture, positively impacting employee engagement and creating an open forum for the exchange of ideas;

•Providing professional development opportunities for employees;

•Identifying opportunities for adding value and growing Wesco’s business through community engagement; and

•Engaging with suppliers, customers and industry groups to share best practices, advance the industry, and drive business growth.

Company Ethics. We are firmly committed to operating with the highest level of ethics and integrity. This commitment is reflected in our Code of Business Conduct, which applies to our Directors, officers, employees and other parties when they are acting on behalf of Wesco. Annually, employees must acknowledge that they have received, read and will comply with the Code of Business Conduct. Our global Ethics and Compliance program provides employees with the tools they need to understand our expectations for ethical business conduct. It also provides an anonymous reporting channel for employees and outside parties to report issues of concern regarding workplace activities or business practices without fear of retaliation.

Compensation and Benefits Program. Wesco provides competitive compensation and benefits packages in our locations around the globe. In the U.S., we provide a comprehensive benefits program that offers choices to fit our employees’ diverse needs including health and disability benefits, paid time off (including a self-managed time off policy, flexible work arrangements, and family leave options for certain eligible employees), life insurance, retirement programs, and access to other services that support health and wellness. To further improve the health of our employees, we offer a variety of activities and programs that assist our employees and their family members to better manage or overcome major well-being challenges, including an employee assistance program, wellness coaching, case/disease management and wellness discounts.

Employee Engagement. We believe that employee engagement is good for our people and our business through improved productivity, better customer service, and importantly, an increased focus on safety. Wesco regularly surveys employees to assess their engagement, as well as to solicit feedback and ideas on organizational changes, so senior management may more intelligently adjust to our employees’ evolving needs and support employee success. Wesco also promotes employee engagement through regular town hall discussions.

Community. Wesco has established relationships with several charitable organizations and encourages employees to volunteer in the community by organizing events and promoting a wide-range of options globally. Every employee is provided a full day of paid time off to volunteer in the community annually. By connecting with and contributing to local charitable organizations, Wesco supports the development of strong, vibrant and diverse communities. Wesco Cares is our corporate philanthropy program focused on affordable housing, humanitarian aid, and science, technology, engineering and mathematics education, and provides for corporate charitable donations, employee volunteerism, employee assistance grants and employee gift-matching. Employees are encouraged to volunteer in their communities by taking part in Wesco’s global annual day of caring.

Environmental Management

We strive to continually improve our environmental management by establishing and working towards various sustainability objectives. We leverage our environmental management experience in our offerings of products and services to our customers. The foundation of our environmental management is our Sustainability and Environmental Compliance Policy, which aligns with key provisions of the ISO 14001:2015 environmental management standards. The policy outlines accountability for environmental sustainability, direct program responsibilities, key performance indicators and other metrics to track progress. We produce a Sustainability Report annually which is made public on our website. Refer to our Sustainability Report for updates on our sustainability efforts and goals. Information contained in the Sustainability Report is not part of, and should not be construed as being incorporated by reference into, this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We are working to reduce our environmental impact in the following areas:

Energy. The vast majority of the energy we use is for lighting, heating, and cooling our more than 700 sites, in approximately 50 countries around the world. Where practicable, we engage with the owners and agents of the buildings we lease to improve energy efficiency, and we include energy-efficiency requirements in new building leases. We have implemented lighting retrofit projects, conducted energy audits, and installed solar systems at certain facilities. Adding to our energy consumption is our North American fleet of approximately 3,300 vehicles for our distribution and sales activities. Our Fleet Efficiency Policy includes the use of fuel-efficient vehicles, determining the most efficient routes, and idling restrictions.

Emissions. Our main source of direct and indirect GHG emissions from our own activities is attributed to the electricity and natural gas used by our facilities, which accounts for approximately 70% of total emissions from our own activities. Our decarbonization strategy is focused on initiatives targeting these emissions sources, such as renewable energy, energy efficiency improvements, heating, ventilation and air conditioning upgrades and electrification. A secondary source of our GHG emissions is our fleet. We have implemented policies and technology to reduce the emissions impact of our fleet, which include evaluating alternative fuel sources, assessing the integration of hybrid and electric vehicle into our fleet, efficient route practices and idling restrictions. We also have emissions from employees commuting, corporate travel and the lifecycle impact of our landfilled waste. We have a goal to reduce absolute direct and certain indirect GHG emissions by 30% from a 2021 baseline by 2030.

Climate Impact. Wesco aligns with the International Financial Reporting Standards S2 Climate-related Disclosures (“IFRS S2”), developed by the International Sustainability Standards Board (“ISSB”). IFRS S2 fully incorporates the recommendations of the now decommissioned Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”). We annually review environmental programs, policies, and data, including energy consumption and GHG emissions to identify and assess climate-related risks. The Board of Directors oversees the integration of ESG principles throughout our enterprise. This includes oversight of enterprise risk. Our Board of Directors receives regular updates and ongoing information on significant risks and risk mitigation plans. Our ESG management team also reports to the Board of Directors annually on the status of our ESG programs and progress on achieving sustainability goals. We have identified climate-related opportunities that include expanding our offering of energy-efficient and renewable energy products. We believe that Wesco is well positioned to expand our business in these energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies and projects.

Waste. Our top waste streams are cardboard, wood pallets and reels, metal and plastic. We strive to reduce these waste streams by applying Lean principles and identifying opportunities for reuse and recycling. We have developed regional relationships with recycling vendors that recycle non-traditional waste streams, specifically metal and wood. We have a goal to reduce landfill waste intensity by 15% across our U.S. and Canadian locations from a 2020 baseline by 2030.

Water. As a distributor and supply chain solutions provider, we are not a major consumer of water. Our facilities primarily use water for sanitation, cleaning, and irrigation purposes. We track water usage at our locations and use the data to identify unusual consumption patterns that could indicate undetected leaks or excessive usage that requires intervention.

Intellectual Property

We consider our intellectual property, including trademarks, service marks, copyrights, patents, domain names, trade dress, trade secrets, proprietary technologies, and similar assets, to be important to our business. To protect our intellectual property rights, we rely on trademark, copyright and patent laws, trade secret procedures, and confidentiality and other agreements with employees, consultants, customers and other partners. We have registered trademarks, service marks, and patents in the U.S. and in various other countries. The “Wesco” and “Anixter” trademarks and service marks are registered in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions, and the “EECOL” service mark is registered in Canada, Chile, and Peru. Our U.S. trademarks and service marks include “Wesco®” and our corporate logo, among others. While in the aggregate our patents are valuable to our business, we do not believe that the loss of any of them would materially affect our business or financial condition. For a discussion of certain risks related to our intellectual property, see Item 1A, “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Information Systems and Technology and Intellectual Property.”

Environmental Matters

Our facilities and operations are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and human health and safety. Some of these laws and regulations may impose strict, joint and several liabilities on certain persons for the cost of investigation or remediation of contaminated properties. These persons may include former, current or future owners or operators of properties and persons who arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances. Our owned and leased real property may give rise to such investigation, remediation and monitoring liabilities under environmental laws. In addition, anyone disposing of certain products we distribute, such as ballasts, fluorescent lighting and batteries, must comply with environmental laws that regulate certain materials in these products.

We believe that we are in compliance, in all material respects, with applicable environmental laws. As a result, we do not anticipate making significant capital expenditures for environmental control matters either in the current year or in the near future.

Website Access
