2022 PROGRESS AND STRATEGIC MILESTONES
2022 was a year of significant progress on our ESG strategy and priorities, as we maintained and extended our efforts to address critical areas such as access to environmentally certified products, climate action, waste reduction, coworker engagement, recruiting of tech talent, diversity, equity and inclusion, social impact, business diversity, governance and ethics and global information security. We also significantly expanded our efforts to engage in ESG discussions with our key stakeholders: investors, coworkers, customers, partners and communities.
Specific strategic milestones during the year included:
- Added a global head of ESG to our team and designated risk and ESG business leaders
- Began refining our ESG governance structure to drive greater accountability and ongoing engagement with leaders and subject matter experts
- Engaged leaders and teams throughout the enterprise in an ESG strategy development process
- Created a cross-functional, geographically diverse Climate Task Force to drive climate awareness within CDW and lead the development of the company’s global climate strategy
- Made the strategic decision to align our ESG efforts with eight of the UN Sustainable Development Goals
- Initiated an ESG materiality assessment refresh that will be completed in 2023 and will guide our strategic focus in the coming years
ESG GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE
We are in the process of integrating ESG into more of the groups and functions within our organization. For example, we are integrating ESG into our risk management framework, and we are empowering our customer- and partner-facing coworkers to find ways for CDW to advance customers’ ESG efforts. Modeled after our risk management governance structure, our ESG governance structure has been refined to drive more awareness, collaboration and accountability across CDW.
