We support the communities where we live and work.
For more than 70 years, we have supported the communities in which we do business. We set goals that focus on reducing our environmental impact and uplifting the areas we serve. Through sustainable business practices, we strive to protect the safety of our people, the planet, and our performance.
We believe in the fundamentals of integrity, driving results for our business and customers, and valuing people at every level of our organization. Furthermore, our dedication to transparency is a critical factor in maintaining our reputation as a leader in the industrial supply market.

People and communities
We believe our people are our greatest asset. That is why we make it a priority to protect the people we serve through both quality products and services. Furthermore, we commit to doing good in the communities where we live and work. Specifically, we focus on programs involving housing, the skilled trades, clean water and sanitation, and the advancement of the economic well-being and quality of life in our hometowns. In particular, we partner nationally with SkillsUSA and the mikeroweWORKS Foundation, among others, to ensure America has a skilled workforce. We also support Homes for Our Troops, whose mission is to help build mortgage-free, specially-adapted homes for post-9/11 Veterans who were severely injured in the line of duty.
Sustainable Impact
Our commitment to the environment includes reducing the environmental impact of our operations and collaborating to address opportunities in our value chain. This means not only meeting all relevant environmental regulations but also working to prevent and minimize pollution.
Ferguson continues to evolve its Environmental Product Sales (EPS) strategy to meet the growing demand for more sustainable, high-performance solutions. Through stronger partnerships, expanded internal capabilities, and proactive market engagement, we seek to help shape the future of sustainable infrastructure.
2030 Environmental and Social Targets
Ferguson’s 2030 Environmental and Social Targets align with business strategy and seek to drive operational efficiency and growth. They support our environmental product strategy and help our customers conserve water and energy, while reducing costs.
- Reduce our Scope 1 emissions by 15% per million USD of revenue by 2030 (against a 2024 baseline).
- Source 100% renewable electricity by 2030.
- Helping our customers meet their own environmental goals by offering sustainable products and solutions.
We believe our associates, customers, suppliers, and collective action with many industry partners will make a difference.
Performance
We focus on industrial sustainability in our everyday operations. As a result, our continual performance will progress our sustainability goals.
With this purpose in mind, here are additional steps we take to reduce our environmental impact:
- Incorporating hybrid vehicles in our owned fleet vehicles.
- Offering financial incentives to sales associates receiving car allowances when they select more fuel-efficient vehicles.
- Using “on-demand” packaging to ensure that packages are the right size, rather than shipping empty space.
- Creating an invoice preview tool to reduce the amount of printing at our physical locations.
- Encouraging associates to utilize teleconference meeting technology, rather than flying or driving to meetings.
- Reducing waste and encouraging recycling wherever possible.
