Better Health for All

The provided articles do not contain specific, quantifiable data points relevant to DNOW's direct impact on 'Better Health for All'. Information regarding the net health effect of core products, revenue from products with negative health outcomes, pricing accessibility, or outreach to vulnerable populations is not available. While DNOW reports a Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) of 0.81 in 2023

and a fatality rate of 0, these metrics pertain to workplace safety, which is explicitly excluded from this ethical value. There is also no specific data on health innovation investment, health externalities (beyond general environmental impact), health equity programs, healthcare workforce support, preventative health measures, or mental health initiatives. The company's general data security approach is mentioned with zero data breaches, but this is not specific to healthcare data. Similarly, while DNOW adapted to the pandemic, no specific actions or contributions to global health crisis response are detailed.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

DNOW Inc. is a global supplier of energy and industrial products and solutions, not a financial institution.

The company does not offer lending, deposit, or other consumer financial services. Therefore, all Key Performance Indicators related to financial products, pricing, fees, lending practices, customer debt, financial literacy, and wealth-building outcomes for consumers are not applicable to DNOW.US. While DNOW engages in charitable contributions and DEI initiatives, these are not related to community finance or financial inclusion as defined by the rubric for financial institutions.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

DNOW reported a Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) of 0.61 in 2024, marking a 24% decrease from 2023 and a 34% decrease from 2021.

This rate is significantly below the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average of 2.0-2.1 for 2023. The company also recorded zero employee fatalities for the trailing four-year period ending in 2024. In 2024, the CEO median pay ratio was 85:1, based on CEO David Cherechinsky's pay of $6,081,037 and a median employee pay of $71,721. Employee ratings on Glassdoor indicate an overall satisfaction of 3.7 out of 5 stars (74%), with 66% of employees recommending working at DNOW. Furthermore, the company reported $0 in monetary losses from legal proceedings related to labor law violations in 2023.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

The company's 2023 sustainability report states zero forced or child labor incidents.

DNOW's Supplier Code of Conduct explicitly prohibits child, forced, indentured, or involuntary labor, defining 'child' as less than 15 years of age or 18 for hazardous work. All 1st tier suppliers and their sub-suppliers are required to sign a certification agreeing to follow this Code of Conduct, which includes robust ethical terms based on international human rights and labor standards. DNOW reserves the right to conduct compliance audits at any time, and the company states it will terminate business dealings with any supplier violating these standards.

Honest & Fair Business

DNOW operates a 24/7/365 hotline for confidential communication with non-management board members.

However, no evidence is available regarding the presence of independent investigation processes, training, uptake rates, or resolution times for whistle-blower reports. No information was found for other ethical performance indicators, including regulatory fines, financial restatements, transparency index scores, audit coverage, ESG controversies, complaint resolution times, board conflict of interest percentages, anti-corruption policies, or third-party verification of ethical claims.

Kind to Animals

DNOW Inc. is a global supplier of energy and industrial products and solutions, such as pipes, valves, and fittings. The provided articles explicitly state that the company's business is unrelated to animal products or industries.

Consequently, KPIs related to cruelty-free certifications, animal testing, humane operations, animal-derived inputs, supplier audits for animal welfare, animal agriculture, and animal-free R&D are not applicable to DNOW's business model. No specific data is provided regarding DNOW's impact on wildlife habitats or conservation initiatives related to animal welfare, leading to the omission of that KPI.

The company sourced 0% of its operational energy consumption from renewables for four consecutive years from 2021 to 2024. DNOW has integrated and adopted the recommendations from the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) since 2019, disclosing governance, management's role, and identified climate-related risks and opportunities. However, it has not conducted a 2°C or lower scenario analysis and has not yet established metrics and targets for managing climate-related risks. Furthermore, DNOW has not conducted a 2°C or lower climate scenario analysis.

Respect for Cultures & Communities
