achieving a 15% reduction in total recordable incident rate (TRIR)
and providing 425,000 hours of safety training and development to

Wesco has made significant progress toward achieving its 2030
sustainable development goals. The goal to reduce landfill waste
intensity by 15% across our U.S. and Canadian locations from the
2020 baseline of 0.64 Metric Tons of Carbon Dioxide Equivalents
(MTCO2e) has been met against our 2030 goal. And, we're on track to
achieve our goal of providing 425,000 hours of safety training and
development by 2030. 2023 marked a significant expansion in the
reporting coverage of our scopes 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions inventory globally from our previous reports which only
reflected GHG emissions in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.
"Our journey toward sustainability is ongoing, and we remain

Operating Officer. "We recognize that collaboration is key to
success, and we are actively engaging with our stakeholders to
