PITTSBURGH, PA, June 27, 2024 /3BL/ – Wesco International (NYSE:WCC), a leading provider of business-to-business distribution, logistics services and supply chain solutions, has been awarded on USA TODAY’s list of America’s Climate Leaders 2024. This prestigious award is presented by USA TODAY and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The awards list was announced on May 30, 2024, and can be viewed on usatoday.com.
“Our journey toward sustainability is ongoing, and we remain committed to continuous improvement,” said John Engel, Chairman, President and Chief Operating Officer. “We are proud to be recognized by USA Today as one of America’s Climate Leaders.”
The America’s Climate Leaders of 2024 award is based on a two-step process. First is the application and research phase. Companies could be included on the list by applying online or by having the necessary data publicly available. To be considered for the award, a company must meet the following criteria:
- The company is headquartered in the USA.
- The company had revenue of at least $50 million in 2022.
- Independent emission reporting with data on Scope 1 and Scope 2 for the years 2020 and 2022.
- In case a CDP rating is available, the score had to be at least C.
- Broader environmental record (e.g. no oil exploration, non-GHG pollution, or deforestation).
The second step is the data analysis and scoring phase. For all companies meeting the inclusion criteria, the year-over-year reduction in emissions intensity (compound annual reduction rate) was calculated.
Based on the results of the study, Wesco is ecstatic to be recognized on USA TODAY’s list of America’s Climate Leaders 2024.
