Wesco Supplier Newsletter 2025 Q2 - Sustainability
At Wesco, our sustainability approach focuses on minimizing our environmental impact and empowering our partners to make sustainable choices. A key aspect of this approach is collaborating with our suppliers to enhance the sustainability of our supply chain. We aim to work together with our suppliers to address supply chain sustainability challenges and minimize our impact on the environment.
Common Requests for Suppliers
Wesco suppliers may receive requests from the Wesco Sustainability team related to several of the following topics.
• Sustainability Practices and Policies: Wesco conducts a periodic supplier survey to assess sustainability practices, strategies, and policies within our supply chain.
• Carbon Information: Wesco collects supplier carbon emissions information for use in measuring our Scope 3 emissions and regulatory compliance. These requests may ask for emissions allocations, product carbon footprints, or information related to the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).
• Packaging Information: Wesco may also request information related to packaging materials and volumes for products. This information is relevant for company waste management and reduction, as well as regulatory compliance under Plastic Packaging Tax and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).
• Other Product Information: Wesco is interested in understanding the full life cycle of products, commonly reported as a Life Cycle Assessments (LCA). This information is used to better understand and minimize total environmental impacts of our supply chain.
These requests aid Wesco in aligning with both regulatory requirements and our company sustainability objectives.
How to Prepare
Sustainability-related requests are often handled by specific teams or subject matter experts within your organization. Wesco kindly requests that our suppliers prepare for these requests by identifying representatives in advance who have oversight over these topics and fill out the form linked in the newsletter in order to streamline communications
