Ingram Micro Inc. has released its first Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) report, reflecting the company’s new strategy and program for environmental, social, and governance issues and performance.
“We are pleased to present our ESG report to our customers, partners, associates and the general public,” said Alain Monié, Ingram Micro’s Chief Executive Officer. “In this challenging year, we have remained steadfast in our commitments and have broadened our campaigns on diversity, equity and inclusion. We will continue to introduce new programs and build on our ESG goals.”
The report is a snapshot of Ingram Micro’s ESG performance during calendar year 2020, the first year of the global COVID-19 pandemic. It highlights progress and challenges on environmental, workplace health and safety, and supply chain responsibility issues, including the company’s performance against targets set in 2016 for the 2016-2020 period.
Key accomplishments include exceeding the company’s 2016-2020 goal for reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; a significant increase in the purchase of direct renewable electricity supplies, and successful performance during a year of significant challenges to the global economy.
In 2020, Ingram Micro supported essential critical infrastructure globally and remained an important part of the IT and communications supply chain. Ingram Micro provided essential support for office-based and frontline warehouse workers, as well as local community organizations. The company launched a listening campaign that led to the expansion of its global Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) program. During the year, the company also achieved its first 100% score under Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index.
Going forward, Ingram Micro plans to continue to expand its ESG program, including the development of new environmental, social, and governance goals for the 2021-2030 time period, new measurement and reporting platforms, and a focus on practical solutions for the company’s most material ESG challenges.
