Environmental, Social and Governance

Our associates are at the core of everything we do and are fundamental in helping create industry-leading services and long-term value for our customers. Our company is committed to attracting, developing, engaging and retaining the best talent. From the skillsets they possess, to the work ethic and dedication they embrace, our associates are the heart of our company. They are the key to driving our growth and productivity and help us differentiate Ferguson from our competitors. Our highest priority is creating a safe, healthy, inclusive and engaging work environment for every member of the Ferguson family.

Ferguson established Business Resource Groups (BRGs) that provide our diverse associates with opportunities to find affiliation, share common experiences and strengthen Ferguson’s culture of inclusion and belonging within our organization. To learn more about Ferguson’s BRG, visit this webpage.

Ferguson recognizes the need for more ambitious action to mitigate the impact of climate change, and we are committed to doing our part. We will increase the use of renewable energy across our business. We will complete significant conversion of our operations to LED lighting and more energy efficient HVAC equipment. We will start to pilot electric vehicles and our long-term goal remains to look to align with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as medium–and heavy–duty fleet technology matures.

The impact of climate change continues to put pressure on water resources in North America and Ferguson is committed to utilizing its products, resources, expertise and relationships to be part of the solution. We augment our industry and customers’ sustainable product needs and support their conservation efforts. Water is core to our business and who we are as a company – it’s how we make a meaningful difference in the communities we serve.

We help make our customers’ complex projects simple, successful and sustainable. At Ferguson, we aim to simplify the sustainability journey for our customers, helping them redefine project success while advancing their sustainability goals. Growing climate and water uncertainty demands that the infrastructure of tomorrow be efficient, adaptable and resilient. As an industry leader across the customer groups we serve, we recognize an opportunity to guide customers to make more sustainable choices when completing their projects. We recommend sustainable products and solutions to our customers by underscoring the range of benefits they bring. Ultimately, we aim to drive a greater adoption rate of environmentally friendly products throughout our customer markets.

Ferguson is an active USGBC Gold Member, joining the foremost coalition of leaders working to transform the way buildings and communities are designed, built and operated.

Ferguson’s culture is grounded in our committment to prioritize the care and wellbeing of our associates, customers and communities. Our core values and commitment to promote positive change inspire us to create meaningful impacts through our community engagement program, Ferguson Cares. We work together with dedicated community partners to create a future that everyone can be proud of. The work done by Ferguson Cares is a major part of our goal to leave a meaningful handprint. Our efforts focus primarily on three key areas: clean water and sanitation, housing, and support of skilled trades.
