At Wesco, our people are our greatest asset. We are dedicated to offering enriching growth experiences that foster both career and personal development, empowering our employees to make a lasting impact not only within our organization but also in the communities where we live and operate. We prioritize creating a workplace culture that attracts and retains a diverse and highly qualified workforce globally. This strategic approach not only sustains a competitive advantage in an ever-evolving marketplace but also fosters an inclusive and dynamic workplace.
People and Culture
The success of our company is driven by the strength of our team. We develop and nurture a culture that attracts and retains diverse and highly qualified employees to sustain a competitive advantage in our evolving marketplace.
Human Rights
We are committed to ensuring that all employees are managed fairly, ethically and are treated with dignity and respect. In 2023, we published our updated Global Human Rights Principles, formalizing our promise to respect human rights and implementing business practices that align with principles outlined by the United Nations Global Compact, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People (UNDRIP), ILO Convention 169 on Indigenous Peoples, OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and relevant laws in the countries where we operate. Additionally, our Human Rights Policy addresses the following topics:
Diversity and non-discrimination (see the Inclusion and Diversity section of this report)
Safety in the workplace (see the Health and Safety section of this report)
Freedom of association and collective bargaining (see the Governance section of this report)
Disabled employee accommodations
Harassment prohibition (see the Anti-Retaliation Policy and Business Integrity Line)
Adherence to laws addressing child and forced labor
Appropriate working hours, wages and benefits
Safe and healthy workplace conditions (see the Health and Safety section of this report)
As a company, our practices integrate respect for human rights, both directly within our global operations and throughout our supply chain. Wesco strives to incorporate inclusion, dignity and respect in our workplaces and to honor the various cultures that support our business around the globe.
Statement from our Vice-President, Global Inclusion, Diversity and Engagement:
"Always listen, then act."
Inclusion is one of Wesco's core values. We are cultivating a workplace that supports and empowers diversity in all forms. This starts with listening to our employees then acting on their feedback.
At Wesco, that means utilizing our Business Resource Groups (BRGs), where employees build meaningful connections and discuss workplace and external issues. In collaboration with executive sponsors and the Global Inclusion and Diversity (GID) committee, they bring forward tangible ways to enact change.
On a larger scale, the company listens via its annual employee engagement survey. With questions focused on inclusion, it is intended to highlight what is working and where things can improve.
Results are shared with all employees. Business leaders work with human resources and employees to develop action plans. We focus our efforts on survey themes that will lead to the biggest impact for our global team. Employees know we are listening, that we care and where possible, we will act.
Darryl Castellano
Vice-President, Global Inclusion, Diversity and Engagement
Inclusion and Diversity
Inclusion and diversity (I&D) are at the foundation of our high-performing culture. We believe that our dedication to diversity-the many different things we individually and collectively bring to work each day- contributes to building a stronger workforce and a better company at all levels. We seek to understand, respect and appreciate the dimensions of diversity that shape our global employees' experiences. As such, we consciously work to create an environment that respects and values the diversity of the people and world around us.
