SUSTAINABILITY
Making the energy transition happen
Rexel recognises its responsibility to play its part in building a sustainable world. We are working hard to make sustainability a key part of our everyday operations and have included environmental and social governance (ESG) in our future business plans and strategy. We have set targets to reduce our environmental footprint and to raise our customers' awareness of their contribution to those impacts. We see ESG as a key component in creating value for us and our customers.
Both the modern home and workplace are now better heated, cooled and have vastly more technology than they did even 20 years ago, leading to constant increasing energy demand. Rexel recognises the challenges of energy transition, energy efficiency and climate change; and looks to be a catalyst for sustainable development through its unique position within the value chain.

AMBITIOUS CLIMATE OBJECTIVE

As a sign of their commitment, Rexel’s Board agreed to tie 25% of their potential bonus to the achievement of the carbon targets and several other ESG measures.

|---|---|---|
| To reduce the carbon related to the energy consumption of its operations (Scopes 1 and 2), compared with 2016. | 60% | 90% |
| To reduce per euro of sales, the carbon related to the use of its products (Scope 3), compared with 2016. | 45% | 90% |
